The great value of sewage water, from its highly fertilising quali ties, has long since been proved and appreciated; and the importance in a sanitary point of view, of preserving the natural streams of the country from the pollution now caused by the discharge of the sewers, has also been much felt and insisted on; the intention, there fore, of the plan now proposed is to prevent the veil, and obtain the benefit, thus conferring the most important advantages on the public. These objects are of sufficient importance to the welfare of the com munity to warrant their being undertaken at the public expense, if not attainable by other means; but it must he satisfactory to learn that they can be effected with considerable profit, and consequently form a legitimate object of commercial enterprise. It is, therefore, proposed to form a company for carrying out this purpose. With this view a plan was long since formed, which has undergone the consideration of practical and scientific men, and the result is, that a complete scheme has been matured for conveying the sewage-water of London, by means of a system of pumping engines and pipes, analogous to that of the great water companies, and thus distributing the fertilising fluid over the land, in such manner and proportions as may be best adapted to the various kinds of field and garden cul tivation. The average quantity for agriculture is estimated at 80 tons per acre, which can be supplied within about twenty miles round the metropolis at a price less than a quarter of the cost of stable or farm-yard manure, containing an equal proportion of fertilising mat ter, and will prove of greater efficiency, besides being mach more convenient and economical in the distribution. The surprising results of sewage water as a manure have been long since exemplified in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh and other places, as explained in the report of Mr. Smith, of Deansten, to the Health of Towns Commission, showing, in some instances, more than a tenfold increase of produce. It should further be observed, that several eminent horticulturists in the neighbourhood of London have practically demonstrated the value of this manure on their own grounds, and can be referred to for the satisfaction of those who take an interest in the matter. . The scope of the Company's first operations upon which the calcu lations are based will be limited to the drainage of the district com prised by the King's Scholars'-pond and Ranelagh sewers, with the concurrence of the Commissioners, who have evinced the most cor dial disposition to facilitate the objects of the Company The contents of these sewers will be conveyed by an intercepting sewer into a well or covered receptacle, and thence raised by powerful steam-engines, and distributed by pipes over an extent of sixty square miles through the gardening and agricultural districts to the westward. Another important feature of this undertaking will be the application of the manure to poor and waste lands, which will be thereby rendered abundantly productive, with great profit to the cultivators. The capital required to carry this part of the plan into effect is cal culated at about 300,0001., to which sum (being only 101. per share) the calls will be limited in the first instance, until the operation of the Company shall be extended to the other districts. A careful and moderate calculation has been made of the annual outlay and income, the result of which shows that the return will be from 10 to 15 per cent. It is intended to apply to Parliament at the next session for an Act to incorporate the Company, by which, besides giving all necessary powers, the interests of the shareholders will be secured, and their liability limited to the amount of their shares. It is confidently assumed that this measure will receive the cordial support of all persons of authority and influence, on the ground of the great public benefit it is calculated to effect in regard both to health and productiveness ; and as it is evident that the proposed plan also presents the opportunity of a most eligible and safe investment, it equally merits the attention and support of capitalists.

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct lino from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham an d Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGIA9 Of the Rugby, Derby, and 3lanclaester Railway, ever the other pro jects into Manchester, among others, are — First. That there are only seventy-flue miles of railway to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Second. That it is a more direct lin e from Londo n to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Third. That it interferes with no ex istin g rai lway property or vested interests. Fourth. That it passes through a D istrict rich i n manufactures, agriculture, and minerals, but which — m ore es p eci ally as regards its agricultural produce, and a convenient sy stem of intercommunica tion for the conveyance of that agricul tural p roduc e , to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to tally without railway communication. Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of avoiding them. Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working orde r within ten m ouths from the thebe given, to the ex London and passing of the Act of Parliament. Seventh. That the maps, plans, estima tes, and o ther documents required by the standing orders of Parli ament will be lo dged with the parish clerks, the clerks of the peace for the counti es , and the Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of N ovember nex t , being twenty days within the time required by the reg ulations of Parliament. ten l t n o t f lo hea ,o ll o o o ti s n i e nt n i t n o s, f sharesto ntnn a ol will in Bir mingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to the sh areholders in the Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Ra ilwa y Com pany; of 1,000 shares to the Oxford and Rugby Rail wa y Com pany ; and 2,000 shares to the Manchester and Birmingha m Railwa y Company. holders of preferencesto c k R UGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.

This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com munication between two of the most important manufacturing and mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield, and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire portion including Dudley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Wednesbury, and Wolverhampton. This line will also open a direct railway communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish guard, Aberystwith, and with Port Dynnllaen, the future outport for Ireland. And also the most direct communication betweell Leeds and Southampton. The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and 3layfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holmflrth to Huddersfield, where it will join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal, iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy. and cheap communica tion between the important towns above mentioned. Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen sive, the line from the Caldon Alines having to go by canal round by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce, and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity exist; in South Staffordshire ; and the route of this line would fur nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a market, both north and south. In addition to these great Vim. tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultuntl and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immease traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, mid Worcestershire Junction Hallway. The calculations which have been made show a very large profit. There are large lead and slate quarries on the lino which only want an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into fall work. The coal is of a superior quality. There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne, Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and particular care will be taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure. Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staflbrdshire, and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive canal company, which this and other lines of railway meeting at Uttoxeter will remedy. the Th d e em gyp an s d u fo t rin his at a io rt n ic ru le n for m turing purposes along this line will be great. ragdsrib agricultural, f s o f r ro h m uild t i a n fi g o , tMuralth,earindummanberuted ton Woods, upwards of 4,00 t) Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kings The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest, Manchester market by a and circuitous canal convey like objectionable route of tardy direct, and rhea nice would Open a easy, eap acres, chiefly finds its way to the mice ; whereas this line commun i c ation to new markets.

N.B.—Existing lines give no communication whatever either to Doncaster or Gainsborough. The following particulars must also be borne In mind, viz.:— As regards distances—First. That the same advantage river the Sheffield and Lincolnshire (as stated in the last column) from Shef field, is conferred by the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby, on all places west or north of Sheffield. Second, That the same advantage, as stated from Manchester, ac crues to all places west, north-west, and south-west of Wortley (a, station on the Sheffield and Manchester Railway), including Chapel town, Thorneliffe, Penistone, Ilolnifirth, Huddersfield, Halifax, Brad ford, Glossop, Ashton, Oldham, Tormorden, Liverpool, and the whole; of the manufacturing districts of Lancashire. Third, That the same advantage, as stated from Rotherham, a~ plies to Wakefield, Normanton, Leeds, York, and all other places on the Midland line north of Masborough. It may also be added, th a t thel Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby Junction gives, by its junction at Doncaster with the Goole and Doncaster, a direct com munication from Chesterfield and the south, and from Sheffield to Goole, while the Sheffield and Lincolnshire does not accommodate that very important traffic at all. As regards number of miles to make and obtain an Act for—lt is quite clear, from the above table, that the Sheffield and Lincolnshire stand in a strikingly inferior position. With reference to vested intorelita--A. right Parliament justly re gards so much : First, Rotherham has l ong en j oyed the advantages of having one of the best cattle markets in England, there being frequently as many as 350 fat beasts, and 7,000 to 9,000 fat sheep per week; in ad dition to which, there is a very good corn market. On the other hand, Sheffield has not a market worth naming ; and the effect of the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway being made, would be almost entirely to annihilate the Rotherham market. Second, If it be desirable (which no one can doubt) that a rail way should (if equally convenient to the public and profltabto to the shareholders) be carried as near as possible to the established and ac customed route, then it is quite clear that the Manchester, Midland. and Grimsby Junction should have the preference, as the coaches, posters, and carriers, carts, &c., from Sheffield to Gainsberough or Lincoln, invariably run by the same line laid out to be pursued by the I:., s nchester, Midland, and Grimsby. Rotherham, Maltby, /Ind so on, being Third, That the Manchester, 31hr.0,1, and Grimsby use the 5% rhireeatly several years propose to make whereas .-11° Sheffield and "n the town of Sheffield, in operation ), e a f t the ) Sheffield , a most expensive :. rtes and Rott er aam Railway es of heavy works across and use no , ;;;,s-tion of any existing line. tance with the Chester field Canal, thereby. in the event of their A c t Fourth, The Sheffield and L incolnshire runs p arallel for some die being obtained, i nvo l v ing the probability of total ruin to that under taking; but w hich powerful Company, to protect themselves, lately l brought tb ard an adverse line, running the same course as t h e Sheffield and Lincolnshire for half its entire distance (viz., the six teen miles from Gainsborough to Worksop). Fifth, Solna of the most influential landowners in the-district through which it passes are vehemently opposed to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire; whereas the noblemen and gentlemen of the largest property on the Manchester, 3iidland, and Grimsby line, are warns supporters of it. Coals are some shillings per ton cheaper at Rotherham than at Sheffield; which, together with shorter carriage by the Manchester. Midland, and Grimsby, must make it very desirable to the inha bitants of the important county of Lincoln, that the Sheffield and. Lincolnshire project must succumb to the. superior merits of its rival. As regards the popular feeling, it is a notorious fact that even is Sheffield the feeling of the inhabitants (and it has Moen expressed at public meetings on more than one occasion) is ;:ery decidedly against the Sheffield and Lincolnshire scheme. %y < may, therefore, consider that where it is best known it is leaf!. liked. The Hoard of Trade have ;,;,pressed themselves very decidedly in favour of the Manchest.;"r, Midland, and Grimsby, as compared with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire. However a concealment of facts may be necessary to bolster up A weak cause, the discerning public cannot easily be induced to mallow the paragraph advertised (by auttority) in the Sheffield papers a few days ago, which states that " there is no residental ground of objec tion" to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire. For a pretty sufficiently damming reply to that assertion, let the report of the opposition of George Savile Foljambe, Esq., and - Hutchinson, Esq., before this Committee of the House of Commons, be read. Iu conclusion, the public may rest assured that the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby, will go to Parliament with every prospect of success on its own very superior merits, and with that success raw.. dared everything but a dead certainty, in consequence of the w r y powerful support guaranteed, and tliendly alliance entered into frith the most highly Influential party ex the day. The public are wished to understand that this advertisement is not issued for the purpose of inducing applications for shvjea, as it s Would be usless to apply, it being generally known that 10.1 the shares, in the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby are allotted to highly re spectable parties, except a very small number reserved for land• owner Qu the line solely.

This railway is intended to commence at the terminus of and unite with the Nottingham and Lincoln Railway, at Lincoln, and to proceed by or near Wragby and Market Raisen to Great Grimsby, with a branch from or near Market Baleen to Louth, and a branch from the main line near to and through Wragby to Horncastle. The length of the main line from Lincoln to Grimsby will be about 32 miles, the branch to Louth about 10 miles, and the branch to Horncastle about 14 miles—together 56 miles. The advantages of the line will be self-evident to those acquainted with the locality ; amongst other benefits, it may be observed, that this line will form a direct and speedy communication between the port of Great Grimsby and the midland and western counties, as well as the metropolis ; and the port of Great Grimsby (which may now be looked upon as the future Liverpool of the Humber) is admitted by maritime and practical men to be the best situated northern port of England for the whole of the markets of the continental Europe. A glance at the map of Europe will show its superior local advantages. The completion of this undertaking will facilitate a passenger traffic as well as the transmission of grain, cattle, butter, wool, tim ber, stone, lime, manure, and other goods and merchandise, to and from the great towns of Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the intermediate towns and manufacturing districts, and will open the coal-fields of Nottingham shire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire, to Lincolnshire, and a direct communication between the midland and western counties and the port of Great Grimsby for ex ortation and importation to and from the markets of continental Europe. It Ned' likewise render easy of access that ancient and now much-frequented and improving sea bathing place Cleethorpes, to and from which place a large amount of passenger traffic may be relied on, being within the distance of two miles from the proposed terminus at Great Grimsby. The county of Lincoln abounds in agricultural productions, whilst it is believed an inadequate recompense has hitherto accrued to those engaged therein, by reason of which both produce and land have been depreciated in value. but now important advantages will present themselves to both the agricultural and mercantile in terest. The gradients of the line are exceedingly favourable, and the expense of construction will be unusually low; the promoters have therefore every reason to anticipate a most satisfactory return for the capital to be invested. The plan of this Company also comprises one of great rational in terest, when viewed in connexion with other Improvements of the Port of Great Grimsby, and the formation of a harbour of refuge for the German and Baltic Seas. The Committee of Management have much pleasure in announc ing to the public that this undertaking has the cordial approval and support of the Midland Railway Company. Application will be made for power to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, and for restricting the liability of shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. All ornamental property on the line will, as far as possible, be re spected. A reservation of shares will be made in favour of parties locally interested or otherwise. Prospectuses may be had, and applications for shares, in the form annexed, containing a reference to a member of the Committee of Management or a Banker, are to be made either to the Solicitor to the Company, the Local Agents, or the Secretary.

This undertaking is projected by influential local interests to supply the requirements of the above important district; and a reference to the map will show that it will also complete the communication be tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac neill-and James Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa vourable to the construction of a railway, and to require nether tun nels nor heavy embankments ; and there is, perhaps, no line of such importance which could be constructed at comparatively so small an expense as the sum named in the estimate. The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine miles ; and by means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro polis exceeding thirty miles. It will commence at the projeeted terminus of the Wakefield, Pon tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ; thereby completing, by means of the York and North Midland Rail way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract. and Goole, from the York and North Midland, near Met ley, form the nearest line between Leeds, Nottingham, the Midland and South ern Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrupted communication with Goole and the shipping ports of the Humber. It will also form a means of communication with the several pro jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby. It is a remarkable feature in this line, that there is no competing scheme, nor does it at an interfere with any ornamental or residen tial property. It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic f the ♦alue of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of its extent, in addition to which, the railway will become the recipient of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches with whiehit is connected. A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders in the adjacent lines. Application for shares may be made in the usual form, to the Se cretary ; solicitors, Messrs. Thompson and Debenham, Salters'-hall, London, and to the local agents and the following brokers :—London, Taunton and Bush, Austin-friars ; Mr. H.
