sufficient power to execute forgings of the heaviest class—

efficiency, of great value; and when taken in conjunction
with the ship building yard, present a combination for pr ,-
fitable results not existing elsewhere. The rolling mills,

ship's purposes, and armour plates, are the most powerful in
the kingdom, and now stand unsurpassed for the high
character of their manufacture, and can produce I,OA tons

berland, 6,620 tons, is now being c nstructed for her Majesty's
Governmentm, with all necr ssary appliances for shi:loui lot

Government, the Italian Government, the Royal Mail S!eatn
