The basis of the contract is the business aud assets of the Colonial Bank, and for the purposes of the agreement the face value of the consideration is estimated at £461,211, but from this Bum is deducted and re tained by the purchasing bank the sum of £327,305 as security.

If the purchasing bank represents to the selling Bat.k that any account Is becoming bad, or in the event of a customer failing to pay the interest on any such account, the purchas ing bank may require that the account shall be closed and realised after one month's notice to the selling bank, but the selling bank shall have the option of withdrawing such account from the assets hereby sold, on paying to the purchasing bank the amount then due therefor. The purchasing bank is to meet all business obligations of the selling bank, which are disclosed on th 6 books. The list of officers of the selling bank is to be furnished to the purchasing bank, and as many of them as the exigencies may re quire are to be allowed employment by the purchasing bank. The landed property and the bank premises of the selling bank are to be taken at the values appearing in the baUnce sheet up to August 31 last in New Zealand, and May 31 in London.

Owing to the occasional damage done to the fishermen's nets by what appeared to be fragments of masonry in the sea off the Italian Peninsula of Istria, the cityautho rities of Robingo sent down a diver the other day to investigate, At a depth of 90 t he found himself in a submerged city, with streets and squares laid out, the doors and windows ..if the half ruined houses being almost hidden by masses of seaweed.
