GAS! GAS!! GAS ! ! I
ENCOURAGED by the various candid and impartial state-
. LI meats which have recently appeared in the different
papers, upon the subject of Gas, we venture to call the attention
of the Public to the new Patent just taken out by our Mr.
Schemeicell, for the manufacture of purified Gas, from Salt
Water. As the product is unlimited, and the cost amounting
only to threepence per 5,000 feet, we are anxious to form a Com-
pany for its introduction, to be called the PHILANTHROPIC
GAS LIGHT COMPANY, strictly upon the modern principle
of all sobscriplion undertakings; to be for the sole benefit of the
Public, and not for that of the Shareholders, in contra•position to
the selfish conduct of the two Companies established -here; one
of them looking for a return of 9 per cent. to an original sub-
scriber, after a lapse of nearly twenty years, during many of
which no dividend was made ; ala 4 it is extrordinary that the
average dividend of all the GaV4ompanies in the United King-
dom does nearly reach from 6 to 71 per cent. ; although the Public
must have seen, from recent clever statements, that their material
costs less than ours; and this body has had the further effrontery
only to reduce its rates to the lowest scale in the kingdom.
The other Company has really accomplished an average divi-
dend ofless than three per cent..at the end of eleven years:
Now, we propose to have .500,000 shares, to moat the progres-
sive great increase of the town, at £1 each, which will give to
each holder one light annually, free of rent, and that no per-
son shall hold more than 25 Shares.

Our Gas being of so excellent a quality, and of such a purify-
ing nature, we expect that the Water Companies will convey it
through their pipes gratis.
The Committee of Management to be an open one : as each
Shareholder will thus be a managing member, he will be as-
sured of every attention being paid to his interest; and, as it is
intended, if possible, to include every consumer, the calls, if re-'
quired, will be at the rate of sixpence per week. HaVing in
to this, as well as in all other public undertakings, a certain in-.'
terest, however they may answerfor the Proprietors, our judgment
must be as unprejudiced as it is root and disinterested. We can,
therefore, with confidence, recommend this scheme to the Pub-
lic, with some others equally good, which we shall hereafter
announce, and would remark that the market price of Shares is
an unerring criterion of the prosperity-and monopolizing nature
of all Companies, and could instance One in which • the Shares.

the original holder actually 1 per cent., the present pur-.
chaser 3 per cent.; with the flattering prospect of no dividend
for three or four years.

made at our Office.
