PROSPECTUS.

The great value of sewage Nviiie7,&nlits highly fertilising quail-
les, 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 evil, and obtain the
benefit, thus conferring the most important advantages on the public.
These objects are of sufficient importance to the welfare of the corn-
munity to warrant their being undertaken at the public expense, if
not attainable by other means ; but it must be 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 much 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 Deanston, 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
au 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 calciflated 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.
