Mr. Harmood 'W. Banner
• The Mersey Graving Dock Company (Limited), has been incor-
porated under the provisions of the Joint Stock Companies Acts
1856-1857. The objects of the Company are the Building, and
more especially the Repairing, of Wood and Iron Ships of every
description; and with these objects in view, negotiations have
been entered into with Messrs. Clover and Royle, and Mr. William
Ashley Clayton, for the purchase from them, of their several leases
of the extensive Graving. Docks and Yards at Birkenhead, held by
_ .• • of thn Tonnnt.

n unaer tne uorporauvu -.
Test of Messrs. Clover and Royle in premises in Baffin-b.
/Etna-street, Liverpool, and of all plant, machinery, and stock
3irkenheacl and Liverpool, belonging to the above parties, and
he goodwills of their business; and Messrs. Clover and Royle

Mr. Clayton, are now wi._. cranster tne same upon ',vim.
oh appear to the Directors very advantageous to the Company.
Corporation of Liverpool (the lessors of the premises at Birken-
tl), will give their consent to the tranfer of the leases.
he above 'Graving Docks, lying between Monks Ferry and
odside Ferry, afford great advantages, and are sufficiently caps-
a
as to repairs.
They one time from 9,000 to 10,000 tons
of shi-
g for repairs. They contain over 30,000 square yardsland,
which 14,000 yards are dock and water space.

he Buildings-form a massive pile of stone one
feet long by 50 feet wide, and comprise lofts, rigging-rooms,
I workshops for joiners, blockmakers, smiths, and boilermakers.
ere are also engine houses, foremen's cottages, and stables on
premises.' The stock on the premises is very large, comprising
ample supply of materials necessary for the trade.
rile average rentals are under 2s per square yard, including cost
warehouses and workshops.
Che dues charged on ships entering these docks, are those fixed
the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board.
Mere is little or no tidal current in the river between Woodside
1 Monks' Ferries, and experience has proved that the largest
Los can be easily docked and undocked at these yards in all

.ithers.
the premises in Baffin-street and Etna-street, in Liverpool,
tore Messrs. Clover and Royle have for many years corried on an
tensive business in repairing ships, will, it is considered by the
trectors, be a valuable adjunct to the undertaking.
The "Company being essentially a ship. repairing company, and
e profits divisible amongst the shareholders, shipowners becom-
; shareholders will receive, in the dividends, a per centage of the
mey extended in their own vessels, whilst the work will be
iciently and economically done. ' •
It is contemplated that under the supervision of the Directors the
•actical management of the business of the company shall be con-
icted by Mr. Clayton and Mr. Joseph Royle.
The Directors having made the most carefnl inquiry into the
'lure of the business, the capabilities of the docks sad yards, and
Le estimated profits, anticipate a remunerative yearly dividend
ion the capital of the Company ; and the fact that many extensive
tipowners have already taken shares, is a guarantee that the Corn-
my may at all times reasonably expect a steady and increasing

business.
Applications for shares, in the annexed form, must be addressed
to Harmood W. Banner, Esq., 24, North John-street, Liverpool, on
or before the 31st of January, 1g59.
