DEPUTREFYING SEWAGE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N.
28, New-street, Spring-gardens,
June 1, 1850.
SlR,—The public having been informed by the
Times and other newspapers that "Prince Albert has
recently sent en elceedingly able and valuable paps
to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, on the
Sewage of Towi;s," on which occasion Lord Port-
man claimed fur his Royal Highness the merit ut
turning the same into a source of national wealth," I
request you will do me the justice at least to insert in
yourjournal, from the accompanying printed paper,
my two letters of 4th and 6th ult. (documents 4 and
6) to his Royal Highness, in order that a correct and
just judgment my be come to by the public on this
subjec..
Whether the other matter is of sufficient import•
lAnce for your valuable journal, I leave to your
judgment, and remain respectfully,
Sir, your very ob.dient servant,
RICHARD DOVER.

" HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT, OF SAXE
COBURG AND GOTHA, D.C.L., F.R .6., &c., &c., &c.
" May it please your Royal Highness,—The Mark
Lane Express, of the 29th ult., has an article headed
` Royal Agricultural Society of England,' which informs
the public, that your Royal Highness' has transmitted
through Colonel the Lion. Charles Grey a communica-
tion claiming great merit for turning the sewage into b
source of national wealih,' and that ` Lord Portman in-

formed the Council the plan proposed' was ' your tioyal
Highness's own plan!' and further that 'Colonel Chal-
loner thought of one difficulty in adjusting ' your Royal
Highness's filtering bed!' and 'Professor Way,' after
exposing several inconveniences, and the great error o'
dissipating the ammonia, declared pointedly, 'the am-
monia is thus carried off and lost !!' Ammonia is welt
known to be the most valuable fertilizer in manures!
notwithstanding. Lord Portman claims merit for you;
Ro) al Highness's plan, which dissipates it ! ! Lord
Portman added, thut the plan proposed, on the 24th ult.!!
was not any sugeation,' but 'the result of your Royal
Highness's own deliberate consideration'—and it would
appear that charcoal, gypsum, and clay' are claimed us
your Royal Highness's own deliberate considerations,
ergo, discoveries, or inventions; whereas your Rua!
Highness can see by the enclosed document that they
were published in March, 1848, by the Metropolitai.
Sewers Commissioners, as suggestions fur ficilitatieg
public or private efforts for sanitary purposes.' Th,
Hon. Colonel Phipps, in his note of the 9th of Nov.
1849, stated that your Royal Highness had done me the
honour to receive my pamphlet and other printed papers
wherein my system of operations for rendering the sew-
age the greatest source of national wealth is moat full)
stated, with the approving opinions of most of the public
journalists in England, France, and America.
" Colonel Grey farther informed the Council that this

important subject had lately become a matter of in-
terest and study to your Royal Highness;' whereas 1
have given many years of study-to this al important
public queStion, as proved by my writings to Lord
Morpeth (now Earl of Carlisle), &e., &c., &c., at ven
great cost not only of time but of money also! My pub-
lications, lectures, and exhibitions, have, I believe,proveo
to the people of England not only how much ammonia
(1. e. the most valuable fertilizer!!!) is now aunually lose
to our land, but that 50 000,000/. of money is alio annu-
ally lost to the revenue!! and further, that the publi,
health has been sacrificed, and cholera become endemic,
by the pollution of our rivers and streams with sewage!
This was confirmed on the 24th ult., when your Roya;
Highness declared it to be the cause of disease and pea••
thence!'
" The Earl of Carlisle has done me the honour to ad
dress ❑otes (documents) to Lord John Russell and Lore
Seymour expressive of the high opinions entertained of
fay stam and plans for treating the sewage of London
end all other populous places; in consequence I have had
the honour to address the following letter to them (do-
cuments). By these your Royal Highness will see ill,:
the highly-esteemed and respected Earl of Carlisle has
not undervalued my 'zeal fur the public welfare;' and
there are many proofs' how much I have ' devoted' my
'attention to useful matters,' like your Royal highness.
I beg also to enclose a printed paper (document), b)
which your Royal Higlonesiewill see that the Al ark Lane
Express did, in July, 1847, and again in September.
1847, call public attention to my system of treating thf
sewage. And by (documents) your Royal Highness
will also see that so long ago as 4th March, 1848, my
system, plans, and produce also had been laid before th,
Council of this very Royal Agricultural Society, in which
Lord Portman claims for your Royal Highness th,
merit for a discovery which years before I had commu-
nicated, and given specimens also!!
" 1 presume to leave herewith a small packet contain
ing a sample of the British Guana offered by me to th,
Royal Agricultural Society of England, fur public good,
o❑ the 23d of February, 1848, per document. .
" Cholera having reappeared in this country, in Ire-
land, and in Germany, notwithstanding the extrem,
coldness of the season, there is every reason fur antici
eating it will be very malignant this rummer!! there for,
I presume to inquire whether any further delay is, it
consequence of your Royal Highness's late communica-
tion to the Royal Agricultural Society of London, likely
to prevent her Majesty's Ministers taking the most sum-
mary and energetic steps, in the present emergency; tot
your Royal Highness will, in my opinion, have the odium
of the people for all contingent fatalities—too much
valuable time has been already lost
"I have no hesitation in saying your Royal Highness's
plan, although most artistically expressed, will not eradi-
cate cholera, and is impracticable in London! moreover
as 'the ammonia will be carried off and lost'! it will
not produce a revenue of fifty millions sterling per
annum! It will not be very difficult fir me to place be
tore your Royal Highness, or if needs be the Britisl
pnblic, many other strong reasons why I cannot, in jus-
tice to myself, admit the claims made by Lord Portman
on the 24th ult. But anticipating your Royal High-
❑ess's sense of justice will, within five days, place th,
question in a satisfactory position, I refrain from com-
ments upon the many foregoing facts.

"To BIS ROYAL BIGIINESS PRINCE ALBERT, OF
SAXE COBURG AND Gunte, D.C.L., F.R.S., &c., &c.

" May it please your Royal llighness,—l have just
been honoured with a note of this date from Colonel
Phipps, stating, he had ' received your Royal Highnc ss'
commands to inform me, I am correctly informed, tha,
your Royal Highness has laid before the Royal Agri-
cultural Society a plan for separating and preserving th,
fertilizing properties of the sewage;' and be adder
your ' Royal Highness has not addressed communica-

Lions on the subject to the Commissioners of Sewers, oi
other official bodies.'

" Of the Let of your Royal Highness making a com-
munication to the Royal Agricultural Society I bad use
doubt on the 4th inst , because I read it in the illarA
Lune Express, of the 29th ult.; and I am to-day in-
formed the Alhaneuni, of the sth, also sets forth your
Royal Highness's proposals and experiments.
" But neither of these are the points on which I ha,
the honour to address your Royal Highness; the frets
being—
" lst. That your Royal Highness has not contradicted
the claim made by Lerd Portman, that the merit of tle
discovery, ' for turning the sewage into a source of na-
tional wealth,' belonged to your Royal Highness.
" 2d. I am not aware of having stated, directly or in-
directly, that your Royal Highness has addressed com-
municationst to the Commissiorers of Sewers, or other

"From weed your Royal Highness has permitted to
transpire, the public will be induced to give your Royal
Highness credit for this great national undertaking;
therefore, after so public an assumption as my Lord
Portman's, it is not merely sufficient fir 3 our Royal
Highness to withdraw such a claim by a note, but it is
absolutely necessary that your Royal Highpnesns,

Lord John Russell, in my letter of tho 1i th ult.; and
the people in my several publications and writings—via ,
a revenue, direct and indirect, of fifty milli sterling
per annum, and to which the people are looking as the
means of relieving the present oppressive taxation (first
and foremost that on windows), as well as neutralising.

avoided a course so public and disagreeable (although
the only one left open tome), out of regard for the many
Noble and Honourable Members of the Royal Agricul-

have been aware of the fallacy of Lord rurtman's state-
ments; and who, however much astonished, from natural
delicacy, refrained from observations on the occasion."
