This Company has bees tensed for the the city of Moscow
with gas, under thz powers of a concealer, pantnd with detadm
privileges by the municipality, on 20th October, 1864. and ratified
In the smooth et December last by the imperial government.
Moscow contains a populatiou of about 600,000 parsons. It Is
situated at the centre of the commerce of the country, with MX
railways emerging within its walls. It is the winter residence
of a large portion of the Magian aristocracy, and the nature of
its climate is such es to render the introduction of gas, both for
bghting and warming purposes, an object of primary importance
to the ithalthents.
The Kremlin (which covers 250 acres, and includes the Em-
peror's palace, the senate, the arsenal and government offices),
the great universities, and the public schools, will all have to be
ii=boyel. statistics It appears that there are at present in
%throw about 200 hotels—mod of them very thactions-4,641

pods and stations ; t offioes, exclualre of be-
longing to the gormand and the municipality; 27 public
bathe ; 15 civil and military hospitals, and eti government asy-
lums. The German, English' and merchants' elute, and the
" Club de la Noblesse," each spend about Ltso per mouth for
lighting, and the government pays annually 413,0001 r the light-
ing of the Open House and the Russian Theatre, and E 12,000 for
the beneath
In addition to the above-mentioned buildiege and altogether
irrespective of private houses, there are 17,032 shops, 700 (*.Mo-
des sod workshop' of various descriptions, many of them of
great magnitude, and one alone requiring slOO lighth
Moscow has hitherto been dependent for artificial light upon
portable gee, demise candles, and petroleum oil. The email-
nese of these articles and other disadvantages connected with '
the Imperfect lighting thus obtained are such as to render say
competition with ordinary gar impossible.
The concession which has been secured to this Company oon-
fen an escluirive privilege for 30 years . at the mid of that period
the worts will either remain the property of the Company in
perpetuity without special monopoly: or the municipality may
elect to percher them at a sum equivalent to the entire net
profits of the previous ten years ; or to extend the conoesdon,
with exclusive privileges for a further period of ten yearn In
this latter case, the works would revert to the city at the end of '
forty years, unless fresh arrangements shall have been made for
cootruleg the business In the bands of the Company. A sink-
Ing tend will be provided to met t these contingeodth
The Caller des Charges allows the Corners, to charge 5 silver
roubles (equivalent at the present exceptionally low rate of ex-
change
to thirteen shillings, and to fifteen shlllisp and ten-
pence
at the par of exchange) per I,eoo cubic feet of gas for all
private lights. The street lights will be paid for at the price of
14.50 silver roubles per light, butting ,10,000 cubic feet during
the'year, and at the same rate for any further quantity which
may be required, with an illuminatlng power which ,need not
exceed 12 candles. AU the lamps of the government end muni-
cipal buildings are to pay the same price as the private lights,
viz., 6 silver roubles per 1,000 cubic feet of gas.
A provisional contract has been entered Into with Smith,
Knight. sad Co. (Limited:, tor works capable of supplying
1,0,000 lights, together with the whole of the mains of the city
(upwards of 140 miles to lesertl) adapted to the entire prospective
consumption. The bet profits upon the capital required for
this purpose are calculated to exceed 20 per cent. per annum,
and in this estimate no profit whatever is assumed on the public
lights.
The works will be laid out with a view to the supply of 10,000
street light", and upwards of 200,000 private lights, and as soon
as the Company can meet the demand to this extent, the net
profits are calculated to exceed the above rate. To show that
this estimate is by no means exaggerated, reference may be
made to the profits of other gas empanel, pessaries exclusive
privileges on the continent, amongst others, the gas works at
the Hague have paid for many years 25 per cent. per aIIDUM,
and the Paris Gam Company is at the present time pedlars diet-
odds above 20 per cent. per annum.
Sufficient plant will be erected for the supply of 60,000 lights
by the end of August is next year, from which date a large eat
revenue will be received.
Power will be taken to borrow a portion of the capital on de-
bentures, by which means the profits divisible amongst the
shareholders may probably rise to a higher figure than that
already indicated.
Offers have been received for the purchase of all the coke and
tar produced, at prises which will bring down the net coat of
the coal carboolsed to a point which contrasts favourably with
the reworks of modal the large cities on the continent..
Interest at the rate of 7 percent. per annum will be paid hale
yearly, on the aspire during construction.
The outlay for plans, estimate*, cogreering, travelling ex-
penses and otheATZtrary charges. will be borne by this Com-
pany. The pro of the concession have such confidence in
the complete encore of the undertaking, that they have agreed
to traufer all their rights end advantages to this Company, in
consideration of receiving, in lieu of any present payment, one-
half of the net profits of each year after 10 per seat. shall have
been earned on the total paid-up capital of the Company.
A large portion of the capital is already subscribed ; septic&
Dona for the remaining shares will be received by the Agra and
Ma-tennen's Bank ; by the Solicitors ; and by Messrs. Hill, Far-
Lett, and 11111, the brokers of the Comp soy, from whom premiss-
tuses and forms of application may be obtained.
The amount of Ll upon each share applied for must be paid to
the Company's Bankers, previou.ly to the eppitration being sent
its ; this sum will be returned if no allotment is made to the
applicant.
An option will be given to each subscriber of taking one-fifth
part of the shares allotted to hint in fully paid-op shares.
