The Roumanian Gas-Light Company (Limited) has been
formed for acquiring and working a concession which has
been granted by the Municipality of Bucharest for the ex-
clusive right of lighting that city with gas.
The term of the concession is 40 years, from the Bth
April, 1868 ; at the expiration of that period the works
will become the property of the municipality on payment
of .£lB,OOO to the company. A sinking fund is provided by
the Articles of Association for replacing the, original out-
lay at the termination of the concession.
The City of Bucharest, the capital of the Danubian
Principalities, is an increa.ing city; its p pulation is esti-
mated by the Mayor, M. Cant :cuz•F•ne, at 250,000 persons,
occupying about 31,000 houses. Railways are in course of
construction connecting Bucharest with the principal
continental lines. The first line of 41 miles is now open
from Giurgevo, the nearest port ou the Danube to Bu-
charest.
A site of 71 acres for the gas works, immediately ad-
joining the new railway station, has been granted by the
municipality, free of all charge.
Coals are to be admitted free from municipal dues, for
the exclusive purpose of the manufacture of gas.
The municipality have contracted to pay for a minimum
of 4,000 public lights at the rate of 6s. 10d. per 1,000 cubic
feet. The quantity of gas thus contracted for is upwards
of 60 millions cubic feet per annum, and the Engineers
estimate that receipts from the public lighting alone will
pay a net profit of 31 per cent. on the total capital of the
company, after setting aside a sufficient amount to provide
for the sinking fund above referred to. The concession
further gives the right to charge to private consumers Bs.
10d. per 1,000 cubic feet. The Engineers report that from
this source of revenue a profit of over 14 per cent. may be
expected so soon as the works aro fairly established, thus
making together a profit of nearly 18 per cent. on the
capital. They estimate that the best English Coal may be
delivered- on the works at a cost not exceeding 355. per
ton, and that Coke will be sold at 40s. per ton. The rates
for gas are subject to a reduction of 10 per cent. at the ex-
piration of each period of ten years during the term of the
concession.

The estimates of cost for the erection of Works of a plain
and substantial character have been prepared by Mr. U. W.
f3Tzv-ExsoN, C.E. Before proceeding to make the provi-
sioaal contracts based thereon, these estimates were sub-
mitted to Mr. E. WOODS, C.E., who, after having investi-
gated the matter independently, reported that the same
are reliable and moderate. The reports of these gentle-
men are appended.

Provis4;l;al contracts have been entered into by the com-
pany for Iho execution of the works for sums within the
estimated amounts. The business of the company will not
be commenced until, in the judgment of the Board, a suf-
ficient number of shares have been subscribed for.
By the Articles of Association, it is provided that the
amount pay ablo by the company towards the preliminary
expenses is limited to £5,000.

The concession granted by the Municipality of Bucha-
rest, the plans of the works, the reports and estimates of
the Engineers, the provisional c.utracts and the Articles of
A S,OCia COD, may be inspected at the Office of the Company,
where every explanation will be givon.
Applications for shares must be made on the annexed
form (which can also !ie obtained from the Brokers, Messrs.
Crossley Brothers and Co.), to the Directors of the Rou-
manian Gas Light Company (Limited), but no application
will be considered unless accompanied by a deposit of, or

of shares applied for.

The Snliscription List will be closed on Monday, the
21st instant, in London, and on the following day for the
country.

This Company has been formed to take over and extend
the w 11 known works of Mr. William Hooper, for the
manufacture of indiarubber core for telegraphic purposes,
and to add thereto the business of covering the core for
submarine cables. and submerging and maintaining the
same, whereby the Company will be enabLd to execute
the largest contracts for the manufacture of submarine and
land telegraphs.
The value of Mr. Hooper's process for the manufacture
of core is now fully recognised. He has successfully carried
on his present business, awl, with a comparatively small
capital, has made very large profits, sufficient to ensure out
of that branch of the business alone a handsome return on
the whole capital of the company ; al,d, when the other
branches have been added, it js but fair to conclude that
the profits of this undertaking will favourably compare
with those of dm cxiting companies.
Mr. Ifoorpr has already mattuficturo.l, according to his
process, the cores for tha following cal lee, till of which are
in perfect wet-Ling order, viz.:—Ceylon to the mainland of
Jn:ti the Persian Gulf cable, laid last :c-1- by the Indian
Government ; Eng7and to Denmark, Dr-iii.,.,ll•Eusslan
(ono vction), Scollqa:l to Norw:,3-, Sweden to Russia, be-
sides upwards of 5(10 miles laid iu various parts of India,
Brazil, Australia, &e.
Mr. Latimer Clark, while engaged as engineer and glee-
tvician to the Indian Government, in a letter addressed to
Mr. Hooper from Bombay so recently as the 18th October,
1869, says, in reference to a cable submerged in the Persian
Gulf :—" We have been examining, and I am bringing,
home it specimen, of the very first sample of core which
you sent out in 1863 to the Persian Gulf, and which
has had no special care taken of it; it is as perfect as when
it first left England, and can in no way be distinguished
from a new sample fresh cut of the factory."
The Company, while possessed of the exclusive right
to use Mr. llooper's process for the manufacture of india-
