PROSPECTUS. • The object of this Company i . the construction of fl oating docks—c hief In France, but also elsewhere—upon the principle int eat.' and ?steeled by SI °ricer Crime, the well known ship.buthier. so rto profit by the exclusive privileges and con cessions conferred upon that gentleman's Inn. It is proposed to commence by constructing a dock capable of accommodating vessels of the largest tonnage at the Important port of Bordeaux whilst the Comeau) are also earnestly invited to avail themselves of the openings uttered to them at Nantes, Marseilles, and other noteworthy places. The advantages presented by the enterprise are discernible from the following facts : Firstly. That at Bordeaux there are at present only two small docks, the one of masonry, capable of accommodating only an Inadequate number successively, of not more than 800 tons each ; the other Orli*, and capable of receiving only an inadequate amber of vessels of not more than SOO tons each. Secondly. That all large vessels, including the Transatlantic steamers, have no alternative but to dock at Rochefort, Brest, of even at foreign its ; whllit many smaller vessels are also obUged to I. other places. because the two docks are occupied, or pre-engaged. Whereas, if dock accontmodAtlon existed, more than half of these would be attracted In cm of need to ports passerine this Compaay's establishments. Thirdly. That the Commission of French naval engineers ap pointed by the Imperial Government and the Local Committee of Inquiry, haying concurred In reporting most favourably of Monsieur Course's invention, In which they were confirmed by the opinions of all experienced naval archltectx the Board of Public Works and thereupon the Council of State rernarneuded the Emperor to issue a decree, conferring upon Monsieur Couran and his assigns the exclusive privilege of constructing and maintaining docks in the port of Bordeaux for lb years, which was accordingly done. Fourthly. ]bat the directors are Informed ea to the esiting docks at Bordeaux, that the one pays 40 per cent. upon its capi ta and the other has its £4O sham sought after at £2OO 55,000 francs each), and that both of these establishmenta will be either absorbed or extingnisheil by Monsieur Cour:eel exclusive privi lege transferred to this company and, from this wuree alone, the Company will derive a certain revenue, equivalent to 12 per cent. upon Ha capital. Fifthly. That so highly is Monsieur Counties plan esteemed, that it is held to be a boon conferred upon the port of Bordeaux, whirs interests. are cherished by the Emperor, that the course aloe, valuable as It la, should have been so granted as to secure the construction of the contemplated dock. Sixthly. That if the Company preferred to farm its rights the most responsible contractors at k:Onitilli are ready to take the proposed dock on their own hands, with their guarantee of 7 per sent. upon the capital. Sevenibly. That the local authorities, and the Chamber of Commerce at Nantes, invite the grant of a similar privilege to the Company in regret of their port. Eighthly. That In consider:Oro of a sum of £20,000. In shares, Monsieur Course has contracted so assign the whole of his inte rest In the patents, and all concessions whatsoever in me or in posse to this Company, with whom he engages to co-operate to the utmost. . . . . . That it has Teen ascertained, from wholly disin terested persons, that experienced men at all the important Yreur.h ports are unanimous In preferring Monsieur Couran's method of construction to any other. Tenthly. That at Nantes, Marseilles, and the other porta, the whole of the business will also be at the command of the Company. Eleveuthly.—That after deducting the capital charge foe all privileges, the first great Floating Dock of Bordeaux promises a net profit of more than per cent, out of the transatlantic steamers alone, and calculating only 300 days to the year, whereas the docks at Nantes and elsewhere will be free of any such capital outlays, other than of mere construction. The Company have availed themselves of the experience and skill of Monsieur Course for the construction of the drat Dock, to be completed in one year, and capable of receiving, if need be, vessels of 4,000 tons. Arrangement', are In contemplation, with engineering works at hand, for the fitting sad repair of steam machinery, as tributary to the Great Floating Dock.

MUSIC. M. .TULLIENS CONCERTS. M. Jullien's concert season—the first, let us hope, of ► long series—is ooming to an end. Her Majesty's Theatre is to be surrendered, we believe, to English opera, or rather to the inevitable Faust in English drag, after Christmas. M. Jullien has good reason to congratulate himself on the remit of his spirited appeal to the sympathies and recollections of the Idndliest sod most grateful musical public in Europe. Hs has sot with ► welcome due at once to his own high merits, and to the name he bears so worthily and so well. The success of his concerts has steadily increased, sad he may now be said to have fairly asserted his hereditary right to the post of the most popular musical conductor in England. The English public have not forgotten the father's many years of faithful and devoted service, and they would have been willing to take the son on trust. Happily this reversionary goodwill has been fully justified by the character and conduct of the reversioner. M. Jullien emulates his father's example with dutiful fidelity, whether in the choice of his materi►ls aid the employment of his resources, or in his determination to win, by no unworthy concessions, the favour of his audience to the works of the great masters, without affecting to disdain the universal love of dancing airs and humming tunes. It has, we are persuaded, been • peculiar gratification tothe public to see once mores veritable Jullien riding the whirlwind and directing the storm of a splendid orchestra, with all the hereditary vigour and skill of his race. Last evening our national virtue of gratitude was appealed to by the annotineenient that the concert was for the benefit of Madam* Janie°, widow of the late, and stepmother of the present, M. Janke. This generous and graceful mark of respect to a most estimable lady (who it isnot unknown was for many years theivigiknt and able guardian of her husband's interests, sad to whose good taste the public were unconsciously indebted for the brilliant results of much anxious and us applauded labour) was heartily responded to, we are glad to record, by a crowded and distinguished audi eace, filling the theatre from roof to floor, overflowing the stage, and lending to the boxes quite an Opera season look. The programme for the evening was choice sad varied ; the first part beginning with the picturesque and dramatic overture to Zampa, and closing with the " Englieb quadrille," a startling reminiscence of the old "Jallieu " era now no happily revived. Signor Sivori in a Souvenir de Norma showed how divinely a bsrbitoa can be made to sing in the hands of a magician ; and Madlle. Volpini, the ideal of a singer at popular concerts, warbled her arch sad pretty Page's air, "Sager Vorreste," from Un Ballo in I Maarten', with a petulant sweetness Irresistibly charming. The second part of the concert began with the grand Wee- time from Faust, which, like the opera itself, grows in favour the more it is heard and known. Y. Jullien's arrangement, which includes a portion of the dance music from the Watpuiyit Night, unperformed in the opera, is on the whole a happy one. Perhaps, if we were disposed to be hypercritical, we should hint a doubt whether the gem of the opera—the lovely dnstt of Faust and Marguerite is the garden scene—had not suffered somewhat from its setting, and become a little dim. On the other hand, the beauties of the enticing and entrancing waltz, of Sieber' gentle song in the garden scene, and above all of the soldiers' maroh, are brought out with admirable clearness and force. Signor Sivori, after giving Paganini's variations on the exquisite old air of "Nei 'co, pin" with ► delhkey, a richneee and an impassioned warmth of tone, a fantastic grace and yet a sureness of hand end bow almost if not absolutely unrivalled, was recalled by the en thusiastic applause of the audience, and played the "Carnival de Venise" with infinite humour and fancy, to the delight of the audience, limbed and intent upon the playing with all their eyes and ears. Mdlle. Volpini then gang Arditi's new bolero " Leggero Invisible," with bewitching abandon, and was compelled to answer for her sins of witchcraft by executing a ragout of that doomed Scottish ballad, " Coming through the rye."

REPLY OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA TO TILE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. VIENNA, Dec. 9. The following is a summary of the letter of the Emperor of Austria in reply to Napoleon 111., dated the 15th November : " The Emperor acknowledges the important objects of the congress for the settlement of the political questions at present pending, and the security of the future, but wishes, before taking part therein, to learn with some accuracy the bases and programme of the deliberations of the congress. Should the questions to be discussed be indicated beforehand, and the powers agree upon the tendency of the deliberations of the con gress, unforeseen accidents which might overthrow everything would be leas to be feared. The dan gerous and insolvable problems which would create fresh, instead of removing existing complications would then be set aside. This idea is more fully explained in a despatch of Count Rechberg to Prince Metternich of the same date as the Empe ror's letter. It says :—' It is not sufficient .to put forward a programme of a negative character as the basis of such important discussions.' The Austrian government wishes to know how the declaration of the Emperor Napoleon relative to the treaties of 1815 is to be understood. These treaties have been partially modified ; but so far as they have not been altered they are considered as the foundation of public right in Europe. Some im provements are necessary. Let the French govern ment point out those it considers desirable. Cer tain remedies might be more dangerous than the evils themselves. The programme of the congress must fulfil all the conditions for the maintenance of peace, which is the principal object to be attained." THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. TURIN, Duo. 9.

A large number of the most respectable inhabitants of St. Domingo city bad been arrested on suspicion of being connected with the revolution. About 700 Dominican refugees bad landed at Turk's Island. General Ramon Mel lor commanded the insurgents. Some hundreds of Chinese had arrived in St. Domingo from Cuba, to be employed as labourers with the Spanish army. The Spanish blockade of the coast was only partial, from want of force, the three chief ports of the island being still open—a fact which seems to show that the Queen's army cannot hold the towns. [St.mp•d, id. Add k=lj STEAM PLOUGHING. A public meeting was held yesterday, at St. Jamas-ball, for the purpose of comedering the bast made of exteeding the application of steam-power to the cultivation of the sod.

(Hear.) In steam cultivation they meet sot commethe without baying t= hly drained the lead, sad after they had once can operation they gained, more especially in heavy clay laid, pest advantages from the absence of the pressure of bases.

With regard to the number of hones employed, he had in his owe ease at ale time 20 working bones under the old system,sod he bad now reduced that number to 12, after four years' cultivate= by steam. (Ham beer.) He did not mean to say that say one Oft over his fain maid not fled as Pithy banes epos it now as formerly but be would lad young hones katead of old owes.

(Hear, hen.) T'be ocasemnenes was that they olasined really • command over the season, and this was an advantage which, in heavy easy leads, would ropy the cost of stoma ploughing. In clay loath, in abrt, • complete revolution had been Waned through the rieblishment of the new system, and whereas before, land was unproductive because it could not be cultivated deep enough, mid berths did so meek damp epos it. now wider the steam ouldvation, that which bed only been send.productin, was becoming • kitchen garden. And these advents."' were not °Maned at a heavy cook for in many eases the expense was Mooed by one-haft. Where they used to plough with four hones at soon of 20a. per sore, they now ploughed by steam at • oat, including wear sad tear of machinery, of 10s. an sere, tad cultivated by steam at • oast of ss. or 6s. en sere. After having had the system in operation for four years, his expe rience was that the additional produce per aces under the influence of stem ploughing versus horse labour was about on quarter, or eight - bushels. (Hear.) If that were the case, taking wheat at be. • bushel even, they had the rent of the hied at V. per acre paid entirely by the use of steam ploughs. With Others great 'Wyman's" arising from the system, how 'nit, then, that it had not been more generally adopted over the country? One reason was that the landlords were not yet satisfied se to the merits of steam ploughing, and, consequently, would still keep their small fields, and would not allow the numerous hedgerows to be removed. Another objection was to the smoust of capital to start steam ploughs. The amount of capital ex panded in his own case was 1,0001., and though • cheaper process might be employed the farmer would still have to invest several bundling., It was not generally the are Wad the twist fernier had such a sum in hand to speed in an improvement of the hied, and attempts had lima made in different way to overcame this difficulty. in some cases, etherprisiog farmers, whose lands were contiguous to on another, bad joined together and started • steam plough between them, but the disednateges of this plan wen that both desired to have the operaticss performed at the same time, and each employing his own men the machinery was not always managed by competent persons, and the d dose to the machinery and sometimes to the ploughe= the proems • very expensive on. Another course had been to form • "emptily for the purpose of letting oat ploughs. This was all well and good if the companies were placed under the care of engineers or persons connected with engineering esteb llamas" bawls' then men, who during the Omitting season were at work in steuseultivation, went back when the ploughing season was at an sod to the engineers office, and were kept at work in another department, instead of being at all times supported by • pore steam plough company. Neither of three plans answering the purpose it had been considered that it wbuld be of advantage to start • steam ploughing cultivation company, for the sake of sup plying ploughs, engines, and other agricultural imple ments to tenant farmers, and it was for the purpose of ascertaining what the opinions of the agricultural world were on this subject that the present meeting was called to gether. It was proposed to purchase the moat improved steam cultivaton and sell theca to mriculturiste upon the principle of a mortgage of the mar.nery, to be paid off by instalments ; and whether this company was socensfal or sot he was minis that its existence must prove • great advantage to the agricultural world. (Hear, hoar). Lord It. MONTAGU, who stated that he had only recently and in cooesquenos of witoessiag the performance of steam ploughing this year in the neighbourhood of Huntingdon, become an advocate of steam cultivation, proposed the first resolution. It appeared to him that the advantage of the system would be just that of • good harvest every year, and the 20,000,0001., which he understood was the pin from the harvest of this year. would go every year into the pockets of the British farmer, instead of being paid to Americans or Germain. The foreign competitor who could now cultivate so cheaply that after paying the cost of ex porting his produce he could still undersell the British fanner, could be driven out of the market by the aid of this economical system, and the consequence would be that • greater acreage would be brought under cultivation. The experience of those who had tested the merits of steers cultivation was that it could be performed at about half the cost of the old system, and with en increase of one half In the produce. He moved—" That the cultivation of the land by steam is now proved to be an advantageous and highly economical process, and that the machinery now need for this purpose is of • character sufficiently perfect to be recommended for the use of practical farmers." Mr. Jeans Witue.ma, of North-court, Abingdon, OF aoudad the resolution, end pointed out the adveutage of steam ploughing in the capability of the machine to work continuously for any number of hours. The Agricultural Societies throughout the country had done much to remove the prejudice of farmers in favour of old systems, and he believed that with a joist stock company to overcome the first difficulty of finding capital for the necessary machinery, steam cultivation would in a few years become as postal as the employment of steam in the threshing of cora. A °INTL/MAN inquired what was the smallest field, irre spective of the size of the farm, in which steam cultivation could be carried on with profit- Mr. WILLIAM replied that none were too email for the purpose. A field of four acres, if square, could be cultivated profitably by steam. The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. BROOKS was not satisfied with regard to the economy of steam cultivation. It was no doubt a great benefit to save the lend from being trodden by the horses, but they might be buying that advantage too dear. lie was a l a ad. owner in Suffolk, and be had tried the application of steam to thrashing, but bad found the expeaee greater than the receipts to defray those expenses. If the steam cultivator broke down it had perhaps to be carried a long way to be repaired, and then a mood% might be lost while it was at the machine maker's. Except upon very large farms be did not think that horse labour could be superseded by steam. A GICIFILKIIAIt from the North of Ireland expressed his hope that a movement of such national importance would succeed in spite of some minor objections and first failures. _ _ TieFarl of SUFFOLK moved the next resolution, to the effeot—" That one great obstacle to the progress of steam culture is the inability of the generality of tenant farmers to purthsae the expensive machinery now used to break up sad prepare thermal." Bir H. VAVanoui wooded the resolution. _ _ Mr. Bum, a Gloucester tenant farmer, believed th►t a great deal was to be accomplished from the employment of steam tackle for ploughing, and he doubted whether farmers, though an isolated class, were more backward than mean lecturers in adopting anything that was for the good of their pockets. (Laughter.) He should be glad himself to have the opportusity of hiring a steam plough, if it would do the work at 10s. an acre. In reply to s question, The CHAIRMAN said the steam plough could be employed upon hilly sod undulating ground without soy difficulty whatever. The resolution having bees carried, Mr. Hamill:os proposed :—" That 000siderable ad vantage would arise to tomtit farmers and others from the establishment of • joint-stock oompany for the purpose of supplying steam apparatus to applicants, allowing them to repay the eat price by instalments extendiog over • certain somber of years, on the principle of • rolling stock coml .^ In his opinion the purchase should be made by the Lsdlad and taunt in CODjUOCtiOII, the company taking a hood from the laadlord for the payment of the money. D.

A SHOCKING STORY. HORRIBLE COI OF A NAN FOR TWENTY YEAR& Mr. Sidney Hodges, secretary of the Royal Corn wall Polytechnic Society, writes from Falmouth to the Pima: . . . . T 'circumstance ao horrible that, but for the evidence of my own eyesight, 1 should scarcely have deemed it cre dible, has just been brought to light is a village near this town. For some Sean pest rumours have beet current that the brother of a maim named Porter. living in comfortable circumstances, had been 'liege for meat' yams is clone ems foement in • small room at the beak of the pessiss la which Porter and his family reside.

Bather more than a year ago, Dr. Bytom a well known medical practinimer from the 061% of now residing in this town, was corn to seek the warn' climate of Flushing for his limit and imideetelly beard them rumours. Not satisfied to allow the 'miter to remain tudevertigated, he collected all the evidence be could, and was so satisfied that the cam was Gee demiseding a strict inquiry that, with a most praiseworthy decision, he communicated the facts to the Home Senrstarv, who at once appointed him special comroissioaer, and sent down two other commissioners, who, in am , palmy with Dr. Byrne, went to Parkes house on Thursday last and demanded admierion to his brother. Porter himself was absent, but, after some little parley with the other inmates, Dr. Byrne, who had obtained some in eight rain the plan of the promises, led the way through the hones across a yard and no a flight of steps, where, con ended from view roiled a corner, they found a door, which admitted them to the den in which the lunatics was confined. The sight which met their gaze was too revolting to be de scribed with all its horrid details. The place consisted of four bore, wet, platter walls, with • small window on me side, and the door by which they had entered ; a doorway opposite, formerly communicating with the house, was plas tered up, so as to cut off all communication, except by the flight of stops at the bock. In ooe corner of the room was a wretched truckle bedstead, with cross-pthoss of wood, rotten with filth, shout six thats wide and the same dis tance apart. On them bare lidera. was crouched a beim more resembling • baboon than a man, drawn and cramped, from long exposure and suffering, out of all form of huma nity, stark naked, and with only two old rotten bags for • coverlet. I have mid like • baboon, from the peculiar form into which the limbs were drawn ; the knees alined touched the chin, and were premed clots down upon the chant, I Mamie. for warmth ; the feet close together and bent down one over the other, also, I imagine, for warmth.; the hands clenched sad brought up close to the chin ; the arms closely pressed against the sides. The knee and hip joints were anebylme ; the elbow joints were also stiffen ing. The floor and the walls were one mass of accumulated filth, the floor rotten with it, the stench horrible ; and there are other circumstances of the awe too dreadful for publication. For upwards of 20 years the tender movie. of his nearest relatives have coo signed him to this living tomb—not a rag to lie upon, not even • wisp of straw ; nothing but the naked board, and the two old bags to cover him. Would a raving maniac be con signed to such • doom ! Gal forbid ! What, let us ask, is the mental condition of this poor wretch! Simply imbe cile. A most mild, benevolent expression of countenance, 'childlike submission to all that is done to him, no symp tom of violence or even anger of any kind, and strong indi cations of intelligence in many things, even after these weary yearn of neglect and cruelty. Yesterday, in company with Dr. Byrne and some frituda, I visited the poor creature, for the purpose of getting • sketch of the remarkable position in which he had remained for so many years. The arrangements being then completed, two Intelligent keepers from the county asylum washed, dreamt and took him away to that admirably conducted establishmeot at Bodmin where we fervently hope that both his mental and bodily condition may soon he im mured. Of all the moving incidents of the ems, not the least was the scene on emerging from the house. Many hacdrede of people were collected round the conveyance, to which the keeper carried him in his arms like • child. "My God! Can that be • nun!' "God bless you, Dr. Byrne !" were the exclamations that burst from the lips of the multitude. Few eyes were dry, especially when some who had known him when a strong intelligent youth pressed forward and shook him by the hand. lam told the commissioners stated that in an a:perisms of testy yams they had never met with a case so lwful.

Mr. Stu,Mart seeka to recover the sum of 5,00 W. for several libels on his character, written by his lordship to the Lord Lieutenant and Sir Henry Eroworigg. So far as they have yet , the facts areettese :—The plaintiff was sta y at Hillsborough, county of Down, in the year 1560, and, on being removed to Milford, in the county of Do negal, wrote to a friend inquiring about • house. The only brutes available was one of Lord Leitrim's, out of which the former tenant bad been ejected, and the plaintiff felt determined to take it, despite an anonymous letter which he received, warning hint not to have anything to do with it. On a personal inspection of the house, however, he found that it would not snit him, and be declined to enter into =ups ilon. Upon this Lord Leitrim wrote to Sir H. Brownria a long letter, which contained the imputation that the plaintiff was a coward, nod was &trod to take the house, and that his conduct was discreditable. At • subsequent period his lordship received an infamous letter threatening his life, and signed "Good Shot." This letter his lordship at more enelto-d to the Lord-Lieu t.'s:ant, and stated his belief that Mr. Stoddert was the writer of it, and seven days after this be inquired from the Lord-Lieutenaot if it was the intention of government to bring the plaintiff into a cnurt of law for writing the letter, reiterating his belief that he was the guilty party. The government informed him that a prosecution would not be instituted, and his lordebip demanded the return of the letter, made some remarks about not receiving proper pro tection, and expressed • hope thatliir. Studded would be removed to some other county. The defences pleaded were that the letters were privileged communications, and were written without nmlice. The cartels coicouclusled. Daily irprias.
