PROVINCIAL PORTABLE GAS COMPANY.
THE "advantages of GAS have been universally ad-
mitted, wherever that species of Light has been introduced,
notwithstanding which, a great portion of the Towns in the United
Kingdom are still without its benefits; arising partly from want of i
the necessary Capital required for Gas Establishments, and *partly
from the tardiness usually :hewn by the Provincial Towns, to
follow the example of the Metropolis. If these observations apply
to the introduction of Gas by means of Pipes, they must apply
with still greater force to the introduction of Portable Gasla newer,
s tfer, and more convenient mode of using that clean, pure, and
beautiful Light. To obviate these disadvantages, and to facilitate its
general introduction, the present Company is proposed to be esta-
blished, upon the Plan and Principles of the LONDON PORTABLE
Gas COMPANY, the success of which has far exceeded the most san-
guine expectationt..

It is not the intention of the present Company to become the
rival of any Gas Establishment whatever. Where Oil Gas Com-
panies are already formed, it is proposed to leave to these Esta-
blishments to add thereto the apparatus necessary for distributing
the Gas in a Portable shape; but as Coal Gas cannot be so advan-
tageously condensed, it is proposed to form Establishments for
Portable Gas, even in Towns where there are already COAL Gas
Establishments, so.as to supply such of the Inhabitants with Gas,
as will not allow -Pipes to be laid into their houses; where Coal
Gas is injurious to Good+, Furniture, &c. and where the facilities
derivable from the use of the Poumatite Gas Lasers are desired
for all domestic purposes.

- -
Where arraagements can be made with existing Coal Gas Com-
panies, it is proposed allo to condense Coal Gas, so as to supply
those who may choose a cheaper Light; and also for the purpose
of offering to supply the GAS EISITINg CA lISIAGE Coz?ANY, now in
progress of experiment. with Portable Gas, as it is believed that
Coal Gas is more suitable for Mr. ilhowit's Engine than Oil Gas.

Those who have originated this co!npany, have made an Benno.
mica! Arrangement with the Patentee of the POrtatile Gas Lamp,
which will give them decided advantages over any future Esta-
blishment in the same Towns.
The Capital proposed is ONE MILLION, to be divided into
Shares of X. 50 each, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
POUNDS of which to be Subscribed for in the first instance, and
the other half to be progressively added, as Establishments shall be
formed, by allowing the Inhabitants of any Town to Subscribe one
half of the Capital which it may be estimated as requisite to form
the Eitahlishment. The local management of each Establishment
to be vested in Directors, chosen by the general body from among
the Proprietors of that Town : but the General Board in London
to have an equal number of Votes, (should it deemproper to exer-
cise the Privilege), either Personally, or by Proxy.
The Dividends to be made from the Aggregate Profits of all the
Provincial Gas Works, and to be determined (subject to the ap-
proval of a General Meeting of the Proprietary), by the General
Board in London, at a preparatory Annual Meeting of the Direc-
tors, where a Delegate from the Directors of each Provincial Gas
Work, is to be entitled to Vote as a general Director; and all Pro-
prietors r hacever, to be entitled to Vote at all General Meetings.
If, however, the resident Proprietors in a Provincial Town shall
desire it, their proportion of the Profits arising from the Establish-
ment in that Town, to be given to those Proprietors in lieu of any
Dividend from the General Fund; but in such case, that Town
shall have no Voice in the General Management.
As a considerable time must intervene before many Provincial
Establishments can be formed, the call on Subscribers for their In-
stalments will be very gradual.
The Company either to be conducted under a Special Deed of
Agreement, or to apply for a Charter or Aet of Parliament, as a
General Meeting may determine upon.
Subscriptions will be received on and after the 20th of Novem-
ber, at the Banking-Houses of Messrs. Courrs and Co. and of
Messrs. VRIES, WARD, and Co. or by Mr. GIORGR PALMIR, No.
12, Castle-alley, Royal Exchange.
Su soon as the E. 500,000 shall have been subscribed, a Meeting
of the Proprietors to be called for the purpose of confirming, or for
making such alterations as may be deemed advisable in the pro.
posed Constitution of the Company ;—for Electing Directors;
and for Deciding upon such Preliminary and other Measures as
, shall be thought necessary for the successful Prosecution of the
Undertaking.
ONE FOUND per Share to be paid at the time of Subscribing ;
and no Person to be allowed to Subscribe, in the first instance, for
, more than Five Hundred Shares. The Deposit Money to be held
by Messrs. Coons and Co. and Messrs. Vanes, WARD, and Ca
; until such time as Directors shall be appointed.
