To supply this dluidurulum. it is now proposed to term I aim steel: Coiiipsiiy—io be Incorporated by an Act of the I.egiIliiture--wllli I subscribed Capital of 10000, in I100 Shares, of 15 each, to be managed by I bodyvol Diieetomsiiauelly chosen by the share-

erI. '

- As many eftlie_ inhabitants of Cbsvlotretuwu may be comparatively unacquaintud with the practical resulbi of Giis Companies, it in.iy be proper to ob- serve, that is Joint Stock Company for lie purpose of lighting the 'I\iwri with GII, can hardly be called a speculation; because it is now ascertained, Ii refe- rence to the annual Reports and Dividends of Gas Companies of Great main. and some efibe Ingli- bouring Colonies, that wherever they have been

ed with ordinary prudence and economy, they

'. lllllllg have yielded acertuin and steady return of annual

interest on the capital invested.

Previous to bringing the scheme before the public. the Provisional Committee had been in correspond- ence. with competent parties, both in the neighbor- in Provinces and in Grunt Britain, and from the in orniiitien thus obtained, and the estimates ‘the

ed, they are of opinion that the Lao , Buildings, Apparatus, Machinery and Pipes requi- site to enable the Company to go fully into operation, may be acquired and completed for and wiih the proposedcu ' . 'l'o enable the Company to coniinunce operations II once. and on the most advantageous terms, it has been resolved that a deposit of ill 5:. ' of shares, and list up fqjrther cull be iviade,'till tbe.Acl of Incorpovrlou be c tuined; and that such further culls Ihii b payable by such instulnienis, and at such intervals, as the Directors inii_v judge most convenient lbr ihe Shnreholdeiii and the requiremenis of the Com-

n . p.Ayllhcugh certain spirited individuals were pre- pared to subscribe the whole of the requisite Capi- tnl, it is deemed but fair to give the public an opportunity of participating in the advantages of the undertaking: and for this pur e the Subecri SQ List will reniiiin open It tie Ollice of Mr. Llwvsoiv, Interim Secretary to the Committee,-— more than cue-liulf of the Shares being Ilready

In addition to its greater, economy, Gas Light may also be pronounced older than any other ordi- nary Lipht. It so Iparlu—it cannot be csrelessy placed in contact with bed curtains, or substances easil ignited. ,snd it requires scarcely any attention. Ii may be turned down in an instant to the most minute speck of flame, ready to be restored to full brilliancy when necessary, by the siuiple turning of the stop cock; and even when it escspeu by the carelessness of an attendant, or a defect in the fittings, it at once indicates the reci- dent to the whole household, by the disagreeable smell which it occasions.
