A very large profit will accrue on the sale of blood, offal, manure,
the supply of fodder for cattle, &c., which is not included in this esti-
mate. The improvements in chemical science and the application of
machinery will enable the Company to avail themselves of several
sources of emolument hitherto unknown and unpractised ; by means
of which, present waste will be converted intovaluable produce. The
further revenue derivable from these hitherto neglected branches is
incalculable.
This laz ge margin of profit will, no doubt, enable the Company to
make a proportionate redaction in Its charges for slaughtering, and,
as the working expenses arc estimated highly, a little experience
will lead to further reductions.

T HE GREAT METROPOLITAN CATTLE
MARKET and ABATTOIR COMPANY.
(Registered Provisionally, under the Statute.)
Capital 400,0001., in 8,000 Shares of 501. each. •
Deposit 55. per Share,
Being the largest amount allowed to be taken by the Act until com-
plete registration, when a call of 21. Is. per share will be made.
" That the passing of live stock to and from Smithfield is a nui-
sance to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and to the public at
large, and that the present size and arrangement of the market
does not afford sufficient accommodation, aro propositions which
your Committee are prepared to maintain ; and that the site of a
live stock market in a thickly-inhabited part of the metropolis is
highly objectionable your Committee cannot reasonably doubt.
" Public slaughter-houses are established with manifest advantage
to the community in almost every continental city; and your Com-
mittee would rejoice at the establishment of slaughter-houses on an
improved plan, which, by affording every facility to the butcher,
might introduce a better system, and to which those connected with
the trade might be induced voluntarily to resort. Such establish-
ments (for there should be, in there opinion, several in the environs
of London) would well merit the patronage Of the public, to whose
opinion on such subjects, if strongly manifested, the butchers must
yield, and from whose decision there could be no appeal.
" Your Committee cannot but hope that permanent advantages
will accrue from this investigation, and that the Corporation of
London will give every facility to the adoption of effectual remedies.
Those remedies should embrace as well the removal of the nuisances
of the market and consequent driving of live stock through the
streets, as the improvement of the present system of slaughtering
cattle; and, if adopted with due consideration of the rights of indi-
viduals, the convenience of the trade, and the welfare of the public,
would confer a most important benefit on the inhabitants of this
great and increasing metropolis.,'— Extracted from Report of Select
Committee of House of Commons on the state of Smithfield Market.
The object of the promoters of this Company may be briefly
stated. It is to establish a Great Metropolitan Cattle Market, and
Abattoirs, or Slaughtering-houses, in the suburbs of London, by
which the nuisance and every consequent evil of driving cattle
through the crowded thoroughfares will be avoided, cruelty pre-
ve.lted, and morality and health improved. To effect these deside-
rata it will be necessary to seek legislative aid to abolish Smithfield
as a live cattle market; to prohibit the slaughtering of cattle, sheep,
and pigs, within a radius of such number of miles of the General
Post-office as may seem expedient, except at the public abattoirs ;
to forbid any cattle or sheep being driven within such radius during
the day; to give legislative powers to the Company for the erection
of such Market and Abattoirs on the most approved principles, with
such other enactments as may appear to Parliament to meet the jus-
tice ai.d necessities of the case.
The promotery, after much consideration, are at present of opinion
that one market is more likely to be conducive to public good and
general convenience than any greater number. The capital is,
therefore, estimated fix the erection of one market, with the prin-
cipal raijoining abattoir, and three other abattoirs without markets.
The site selected .by the promoters for the Market and prin-
cipal Abattoir is considered most eligible. The whole of the
railroads-formed and forming, from the west, north-west, north,
north-east, and east, will, by arrangements that are in progress,
concentrate themselves at the proposed market, thus giving to
it the most desirable access from the principal parts of the country.
Some of the railroads will materially assist in distributing the cattle
to the minor abattoirs.
Abattoirs are no novelty, except in England, for in various parts
of the Continent they have long since been adopted, to the entire
approbation of every class ; and especially at Paris, have the well-
regulated Abattoirs at Montmartre, Popincourt, Grenelle, Bottle, and
Villejuif, attracted universal attention, and the admiration of Eng-
lishmen, who have never visited these establishments without being
duly impressed with the great advantage to that city, and their
surprise that in London such a system has been so long delayed.
Abattoirs have also been erected at Stockholm, Hatnburgh, New 'I
York, and several other cities on the Continent.
