PROSPECTUS.

Th• great value of sewageZie7,fion- its highly fertilising quali-
ties, has long since been preyed 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 arc 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 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, le, 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 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
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.

SECRETARY.
Thomas Coxhead, Esq.
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 Raisen 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
mannfacturing 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 will 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 national in-
terest, when viewed in connexion with other improvements of the
Fort of Great Grimsby, and the formation of a harbour of reffige
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
4/. 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. Prospectuses may
also be load at the offices of Messrs. George Baker and Sons, 29,
Threadneedle-street; or Mr. J. W Scott, 3, Bartholomew-lane, Lon-
don; but no application will be attended to unless accompanied by
such reference.

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 surreys 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 neither 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 projected 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
Nottii.gham, Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ;
thereby completing, by,rneans 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 Methley, 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 all interfere with any ornamental or residen-
tial property.
It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic ; the
value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of
its extent, in addion to which, the railway will become the recipient
of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches
with whichit 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. Pritchett, 74, Old Broad-

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, Lianelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish-
guard, Aberystwith, and with Port Dynnllaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication between 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
Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel-
en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holmfirth 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 magneslan 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 Mines 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
exists 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 advan-
tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural
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 immense
traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford-
shire, sad Worcestershire Junction Railway.
The calculations which have been made show a very large profit.
There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want
an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into full 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 Staffordshire,
and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous• and expensivet
canal company, which this and other Hues of railway meeting A
Uttoxeter will remedy.

communication to new
convey-
ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap
a detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering
difficulties. In consequence of the lute Parliamentary decisions, it is
intended to make this lino on the broad gauge principle, but the pro-
moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so.
At the urgent suggestion of some of t311,,e

tion to connect that town with Den
