PROSPECTUS.

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 and
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 line from London to Manchester
than even the proposed direct lines.
Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or
vested interests.
Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures,
agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its
agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica-
tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, 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 order within ten mouths from the
thebe given, to the ex
London and
passing of the Act of Parliament.
Seventh. That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents
required by the standing orders of Parliament will be lodged with the
parish clerks, the clerks of the peace for the counties, and the
Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of November next, being twenty
days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament.

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.

• Nine miles being a portion of the London and York (from Baw-
try to Gainsborough), has already passed the Commons, and also the
standing orders of the Lords, which nine miles, on the ultimate suc-
cess of the London and York project, must be deducted from the
number of miles to which an asterisk is added, thus showing a great
additional advantage (not yet reckoned upon), to the Manchester,
Midland, and Grimsby line.
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, that
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 long enjoyed 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:.,snchester, Midland,
and Grimsby. Rotherham, Maltby, /Ind so on, being

tance with the Chesterfield Canal, thereby. in the event of their Act
Fourth, The Sheffield and Lincolnshire runs parallel for some die-
being obtained, involving the probability of total ruin to that under-
taking; but which powerful Company, to protect themselves, lately
lbrought tb ard an adverse line, running the same course as the
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 wry
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.
