Messrs. TAYLos, Corazon, St Co. are authorised by
the Directors to offer for subscription 10,000 Shares in
Byrnes' Patent Economic Gas Company, Limited, an
undertaking /bleb places cheap gas within the reach
of both town and sountry consumers.
This Company has been formed for the purpose of
*sinking and working Syma''Patent for the mandato
tare of pa in the United Kingdom.
This Invention meets a long-felt want, and will supply
Gas to those who avail themselves of it at & oheapnces
of eost, hitherto unattained by any other known method.
The usual prioe of gas ranges from 3e. 6d. to 58., and
sometimes 6s. per 1000 outdo feet—Companies having to
provide for waste and interest upon the large capital
expanded upom miles of piping, requiring constant
repair and periodically entire renewal, to say nothing
of rent, rates, taxes, and other heavy working expenses.
Whereas, by Syllrlle Patent, lengthend pipes are 11111•
necessary, and, save the moderate outlay upon puttirg
up the apparatus, heavy expenses are avoided, sod the
gas can be made for • sum not exceeding 1. per 1,000
cubic feet if made from sleek, and 2s. 2d. if made from
coal, (See Report No. 1 appended).
The Apparatus is chiefly designed for tho purports of
supplying gas to isolated buildings, such as Railway
Stations, Country Houses, Factories, Churches. Hotels,
Public Schools, WA to Ships, Light Houses, ha, he.,
and provides • simple, mate, and inexpensive means of
making pure and cheap gas, with very little trouble,
and very small outlay in the application of the

- -
apparatus.
The oust of an apparatus to sustain 25 lights will
depend in some measure on the form of Gasholder
introduced; but from those already erected, it has been
estimated that the first °oat will not exceed 20e. to 255.
per light up to 30 lights; and this rate will be decreased
me the number of lights are increased- It ie further
calculated that 25 lights Feu. ON will require 3 outgo
test of Gas per hour, and basing • salculellon on 25
light. You ON, It will be seen that to sustain them
burning 6 hours per day, 450 cubits feet must be pro-
vided, and the wet to the customer of this quantity, by
using the aforesaid apprnatrut, will be about 61 if
made from sleek, and about le. Id. if from ooal.
The space required for the retort ls so small that it
can be placed in any private dwelling-house without
occasioning more incionvenience than an ordinary stove.
The extreme simplicity of its construction is such that
any local gas fitter can erect it, and, if necessary,
regulate It with the greatest ease. It can be managed
by any domestic servant without interfering with
ordinary duties. lii. free from smell, and perfectly
fife, being provided with safety valves, whieh render
accidents impossible.
Relate coal, dross, wood, bone; peat, its., will
sullies for the manufacture of the purest Gas, so that
this Apparatus will be invaluable in districts where coal
dose not &boned, and as in these oases the cost of Gas
ranges frequently from 14s. to 21s. per 1,000 cable feet,
the advantages to sash localities are inoalculsble.
' It can be adjusted to serve without additional fuel
for the cooking purposes of any household, mud also to
distribute hot air throughout the premises simul-
taneously with the manufacture of gam.
The illuminating power of theses produced by Byrnes'
apparatus is equal to 18j candles. Vide reports of
Messrs. E. L. FLONBLI and DAVID MURRAY, appended.
An important feature in this invention lathe simpli-
city and completeness of the patent door for closing
the Retort, as it does away with the clumsy, ineffec-
tive and expensive system of what is termed • htting "
—that is, plastering up the door of the retort with
lime, Ito, to prevent the escape of gas during the
proems of generating it—involving large companies in
heavy expenditure. It is equally adaptable to all
=rrot gm manufactory, and will of itself yield •
e:enue, should existing internalee avail them-
wives of it.
• contract has been entered into between Wm. Baird
of the one part, and Col. Robert Pitcairn, on behalf of
the Company,
of the other part, for the purchase of the
Patentees' his, for the sum of £lO,OOO in *ash, and
ElO,OOO in fully paid shares of the Company.
A number of Apparatuses have already been con•
strueted and farther orders have been received, which
are now in prom's of execution, and the profits
derived from these orders will accrue to the company.
It is difficult to estimate precisely a scale of profits
in carrying out this patent, as these will depend upon
the number of Apparatuses manufactured by the Com-
pany, and the amount of Royalties to be obtained ; but
as further orders are aiming in daily, tan following
results may be reasonably anticipated.

EIsTIM•TI :
Say, 1,000 Apparatuses per &imam, al a profit
__-
£15,000

Or equal to 50 per ant. on the amount of called up
capital, and this may fairly be expected to lamellae
as the utility of the invention becomes more generally
known.
Byrnes' Patent may be aeon in full operation at the
Mansion House Buildings, queen Viateria-street, nearly
opposite the Mansion House.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association, with
Copy of Contract and Specification of Patent, may be
inspected at the offices of the Company.
Applications for Sharer', sooompanied by a deposit of
10a, per share, will be received by the Bankers, or by
Messrs. TAILog, Csirszosi and Co., 39, Lombard
, Street, R.C.
Prospeetuses, with Reports and printed forms, may
be obtained at the Compeny's otfioes, or from the
Bankers of the Company, and from all London and
