The establishment of Means. Landau and Co., at Alexandria,
In addition to It. regular banking operations, has long enjoyed
an extensive oonoection with producers and exporters of produce
In Egypt. This business hen always yielded most favourable re-
sults ; and no better proof of this can be given than the fact that

This Company has been formed for the purpose of purchasing
the freeboli property known as Queen Anne's Ship Yard, and
the valuable ship building business now carried on by private
capitalists therein ; of carrying on ship building in iron sad
wood, and of mechanical engineering in all ita branches.
The 'hip-building yard possesses a frontage to the sea of up-
wards of 1,240 feet, In which there will he capacity for laying
down 10 ship, taking an average of 00 feet in width for each
ship. As at present constituted, the establishment comprises a
first clam stone-built dry d ck, 260 feet by 62 feet, in perfect
working condition, with steam-engine, circular. saw gear. smiths'
shops, timber sheds, offices and buildings, with slips. quays, and
other necessary appliances, all in good repair. On the premises
there is a capital lime kiln, four excellent dwelling-bosses,
suitable for the manager and employes of the company, six cot-
' fages for foremen, etc. ; a good supply of fresh water, and an
abundance of lime and building stone.
It is proposed to lengthen the present dry dock 50 feet, to con-
struct two additional dry decks, and one large floating dock, to
be divided by caimans also additional frontage quays. and to
extend the appliances generally with the view to the construe-
don and repair of iron and wooden ships, the manufacturing of
marine fend other engines, armour and other plate, angle iron,
and every description of iron work.
For thepurposes of the Company the position of the premises
is not to be surpassed ; they are In close proximity to Sutton
Harbour ; forming the sea-board of Catwater anchorage, and sre
completely sheltered, tint by the Plymouth Breakwatern and
next by the peninsula of Mount Batten, in addition to which the
approaches to the premiss are completely commanded by the
guns of the citadel. The branch station of the South Devon
Railway Company) is situated in the immediate vicinity, and
H.M. Dockyard, Devonport, is within an easy distance.
This Company will offer unusual facilities for carrying on the
proposed badness, In consequence of both labour and the freight
of iron, coal, and timber being extremely low, added to which
much expense min be saved, &Bike materials will be delivered on
the main of the Company tree of all does and charges.
At present there are no iron ship building works et Plymouth,
and much inconvenience and expense often remits to shipowners
in consequence of vessels outward bound having to mat back to
London for repair.
The Directors consider it unnecessary to allude to the other
advantages possessed by this Company, further than to state
that there is a great and growing demand for such works as they
propose to carry on.
The operations of the Company will be conducted by Mr.
Joseph Banks, who will devote his well-known experience ex- ,
elusively to the interests of the Company, sided by gentlemen of
acknowledged mechanical skill. As the whole of the valuable
property has been ceded to the Directors upon terms which are
considered highly advantageous, the proliteble result of the
undertaldng may be deemed as assured.
Interest at the rate of 16 per cent. fs guaranteed for three
years by the International Contract Company (Limited%
