PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS : James Watt, Esq. C. J. Stone, Esq. Fredk. Whitaker, Esq. William Aitken, Esq. Thomiis B. Gillies, Esq. Thomas Morrin, Esq.. J. S. Maofarlane, Es<i. BANKERS: The Bank of New Zealand. COMMERCIAL AGENTS : Tho Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited). SOLICITORS: - Messrs Whitaker and Russell. SECRETARY (pro tbm.) : A. Wardrop, Esq., Shortland street. HJThe rapidly-increasing importanco of the mercantile interests in tho group of islands comprised in the Kingdom of Fiji, and tin absence of any reliable medium of exchange in thnt territory, have suggested the formation of this Company, which, it is intondod. shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and under take commercial agency business, by indenting goods, advancing on tho produce of settlers, and undurtaking consignments. Notwithstanding the difficulties which the early settlers in these Islands have encountered, tho pro gress made in the development of Commerce has been very satisfactory,—the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. The capabilities of the Islands for sugar and cotton cultivation are of the very highest description, and, with the introduction of capital and the means afforded to planters to turn their produce to account, thore can be no doubt that the above interests will be very speedily and largely increased. Already tracts of country have been secured by planters from other sugar-producing countries, tho climate and soil of Fiji offoring superior advantages. Tho European population is already considerable, and rapidly increasing ; and tho general desire to support law and order, and the partial recognition of the Government by Great Britain, afford a reasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may bo undertaken with safety, and with the samo recourse as in more settled communities. Important concessions, including an exclusive right to issue bank notes and to transact all Government business, are under offer to the Company and, from data furnished to the promoters, it is believed that a Tery satisfactory return on the capital to be invested will be ensured. The scope of the Company's operations will not be confined to Fiji, but will embrace the numerous groups of Islands in the Pacific, as enceuragement may from time to time offer. It is believed that a paid-up Capital of £50,000 will, for a time, amply provide for the current requirements of the Company, the un-paid Capital remaining as a basis for credit with its Agents. A further issue of ahares will bo made as required, on terms to be settled by the Board of Directors. Of tho £2 10s to be called up on the First Issue of shares, a deposit of 10s per share will be required on application and a like amount on allotment. Sub sequent calls will be made as required, not exceeding £1 per share, with a notice of not less than one month. No promoters' or paid-up shares will bo issued, and the preliminary expenses are guaranteed not to exceed £1,000. Applications for shares—accompanied by a deposit of 10a per share—will be received by tho Secretary on and after Ist August and up to Ist Septemper next, a preference being given to priority of application. In event of no allotment being made the deposit will bo returned in full. Auckland, 4th July, 1873. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

DE BBIG-HT'S PHOSPHODYNE, A Chemical Preparation of Plwsphorous, iinih the Veijetable Alkaloids [Quinia, Cypi ipeden, Xanthoxylin, <kc, Discovered, introduced and extensively prescribed by CnAitLKW Leslie Brjoht.M.D., Resident Surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital London. *. This Phoaphatic combination is pronounced by the moat ominent members of the Medical Profession to bo unequalled for its power in replenishing the vitality of the body, by its supplying all the essential con stituents of the blood and nerve substance, and for developing all the powers and functions of tho system to tho highest degree. It Is agreeable to the palate and innocont In its action, while retaining all its extraordinary properties, and as a specific surpassing all the known therapeutic agents of the day for tho speedy and permanent cure Norvous Prostration Trembling of tho hands and Liver Complaints limbs Palpitation of the heart Impaired nutrition Dizziness • Mental and physical de- Noises in tho head and ears pression Loss of energy and appetite Consumption (in its Inci- Hypochondria pient or first stages only) Female complaints Eruptions of the skin General debility Impaired sight and memory Indigestion Nervous fancies Flatulence Impoverished fancios Incapacity for study or Impoverished blood business Nervous debility in all its Bickheadacho stages Lassitudo Premature decline Shortness of the breath and all morbid conditions of the system, arising from whatevor cause. Tho action of the Phosphodyne. is twofold—on tho ono hand increasing the principle which constitutes nervous energy, and on the other tho most powerful blood and flesh generating agent known ; therefore, a marvellous medicine for re novating impaired and broken-down constitutions. It quickly improves the function of assimilation to such a degree that where for years an emaciated, anxious, cadaverous, and semi-vital condition has existed, the flesh will rapidly increase in quantity and firmness and the whole system return to a stato of robust The Phosphodyno acts electrically upon the organi sation ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human electricity which renews and rebuilds the the osseous, muscular, nervous, membranous, and organic systems. It operates on the system without exciting care or thought upon the individual as to the process. It moves the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, stomach, and intestines, with a harmony, vigour, yet mildness, unparalleled in medicine. The Phosphodydne gives back to the human struc ture in suitable form, the phosphoric or animating element of life which has been wasted, and exerts an important influence directly on the spinal marrow and nervous system, of a nutritive, tonic, and invigorating character; maintaining that buoyant energy of the brain and muscular system which renders the mind cheerful, brilliant, and energetic, entirely overcoming that dull, inactive and sluggish disposition which many persons experience in all their actions. The beneficial effects of tho Phosphodyne are fre quently shown from the first day of its administration by a remarkable increase of nervous power, with a feelinmof vigour and comfort to which the patient has long been unaccustomed. Digestion is improv ed ; the appetite increases wonderfully; the bowels become regular; tho eyes brighter; tho skin clear and healthy ; and the hair acquires strength, showing the importance of the action of the Phosphodyne on the organs of nutrition. Finally, the Phosphodyne maintains a certan degree of activity in the previously debilitated nervous system ; its use enables all delibilatcd organs to return to their soiird state and perform their natural func tions. Persons suffering from Nervous Debility, or any of the hundred symptoms which this distressing disease assumes, may rest assured of an effectual and even speedy cure by the judicious use of this most invaluable remedy. DR. BRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE Is sold only in cases at £1 Is, containing two bottle* ; and £2 2s, containing five bottles. Also in family cases at £5, containing sixteen bottles. To be had of all Chemists and Up-Country Storekeepers throughout the Colonies. ULL DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN THE ENGLISH FRENCH AND GERMAM LANGUAGES AC COMPANY EACH CASE. • SELECT MEDICAL OPINIONS.
