This Company has been formed for lighting the city of Moscow

prithsges by the municipality, on 26th October, DAC and ratified
le the month of DeoemSer last by the Imperial government.
Moscow contains a population of about 500,001 persona It la
Waled at the centre of the commerce of the country, with six
railways converging within its walls. It is the winter residence
et a large portion of the Russian aristocracy, and the nature of
tin climate is such as to render the introduction of gas, both fur
lighting and warming purposes, an object of primary importance

la asitiClOsn to the above-mentioned buildings, and altogether
kesspective of private houses, there are 17,0.12 shops, 700 facto- I
ries sad workshops of various descriptions many of them of
rest magnitude, and one alone requiring dOO lights.
Moscow has hitherto been dependent for artificial light upon
potable gm, Marine candles, and petroleum oil. The coati..
mat of these articles and other disadvantages connected with
the imperfect lighting thus obtained are such as to render any
supetition with ordinary gas impossible.
The concession which has been secured to this Company cas-
tes an exclusive privilege for 20 years ; at the end of that period
Ps
weeks will either remain the property of the Company In
pepstaily without special mouopoly : or the municipality may
sleet to parehese them at a sum equivalent to the entire net
Wefts of the previous ten year or to extend the concession.
with exclusive privileges for a further period of ten years. In
Oils latter case the works would revert to the city at the end of
hrty years., unless fresh amogemeats shall have been made for
amenable the business In the hands of the Company. A dak-
infead will be provided to meet these contingencies.
The Calder des Charges allows the Com: say to charge 6 silver
troubles (equivalent at the present exceptionally low rate of ex-
change to thirteen shlllluga, and to fifteen shillings and ten-
pore at the par of exchange, per 1,000 cubic feet of gas for all
titlights. The street I.ta will be paid for at the pries) of
her roubles per light, burning 10,000 cubic feet slarM
Os year, and at the same rate for ane further guiltily which
subs required, with an illuminating power which need not
steed 12 candles. All the lamps of the government and muni-
cipal braidings are to pay the same price as the private lights,
els, 5 silver roubles per 1,000 cubic feet of gas.

and Co. I.lmlted,, for works capable of supplying
1:10—W lights, together with the whole of the mains of the city
(Mwerth of 140 miles In length) adapted to the entire prospective
imaleption. The net profits upon the capital required for
tkh purpose are calculated to exceed 20 per cent per annum,
am this estimate no profit whatever is assumed on the public
works win be laid out with a view to the supply of 10,000
Met lights, and upwards of 200,000 private lights, and as soon
tithe Company can meet the demand to this extant, the net

elemse will be received.

Tits CRYSTAL Paiscs—The fine spring weather
with which April has opened has had a sensible effect upon
the attendances at the Crystal Palace. Although the 11•11.011
is somewhat late, the shrubs and plants in the gardens are
now advancing rapidly. The Saturday Corner have been
unusually well attended during the pest winter ; last Satur-
day nearly 5,000 persona were present. Active preparations
are being made for Good Friday, on which day emit erred
concert will he held. Madame Roderedorff, Mr. Weir, and
Mr. Sims Reeves are lame of the principal singers
earned. The railway work. for the high level hoe,
leading up to the front of the Palace, are progressing with
creel rapidity. The workmen have commenced firing the
ironwork for the roof, and in a very short period this mag-
nificent station will be completed. Great progress is being
made on the other portions of the line. The great flower
show of the season is appointed for Saturday, 20th May,
and the roes show on Saturday, 94th Jens.l'be actiednies
for these two shows alone show prizes amounting touristy
sight hundred pounds. The facilities afforded by increased
railway accommodation now promotes entries from much
more &trot localities than used to be the cam. The sale
of tickets for the Riedel Period motioned to progress in
a most satisfactory manner. The alreatros in the corner
galleries, from which so mach benefit is expected in as
acoustical point of view, will be completed before Good
Friday. The pular geoaraily will, therefore, on that day
have as excellent opportunity of testing the advantages
which will result from these improvements.
