SOLICITORS : ~ , Messrs Whitaker and Russell/ tJ 0 ' SECRETARY (pro tern.) : A. Warclrop, Esq., Shortland street. The rapidly-increasinp importance of the mercantile interests in tho group of islands comprised in the Kingdom of Fiji, and the absence of any reliable medium 6f exchange in that territory, have suggested the formation of this Company, which, it is intended, shall supply ordinary1 Banking facilities and under take commercial agency business, by indenting goods, advancing on the .produco of. settlers, and undertaking consignments. . ■ • , : •Notwithstanding thb difficulties which ,the. early: settlers in these Islands have encountered, the pro gress made in the development of Commerce has been very satisfactory,—the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid oxpansioh. ' The'capabilitles of the Islands for sugar and cotton cultivation are of the very highest description, and, with tho introduction of capita! and tho means afforded to planters to turn their produce to account, there can bo no doubt that the abovo interests will bo very speodily and largely Increased. Already tracts of country have been secured by planters from other sugar-producing countries, tho climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages. ... , . . r«i The European population is already considerable, and rapidly increasing; and the general desire to support law and order, and the partial recognition of the Government by Groat Britain; afford a reasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may be undertaken with safety, and with the same 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'very satisfactory return on the capital to be invested will be ensured. The scope of the Company's operations will not be confined to Fij{, but will embrace the numerous groups of Islands in the Pacific, as encouragement may from time to time offer. Ibis believed that a paid-up Capital of £60.000^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 shares will be made as required, on terms to be settled by tho Board of Directors. Of the £2 10s to be called up on tho First Issue of shares, a doposit 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 be issued, and the preliminary expenses are guaranteed not to exceed £1,000. Applications for shares—accompanied byL a deposit" of 10s per share—will be received by the 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 be returned in full. ■; ' Auckland, 4th July, 1873. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

It acts not by repression, but repulsion. It enters the system as salt enters meat, and operates not locally only, but constitutionally purifying the whole system, neutralizing all depraved humours, and effecting a radical and complete cure. The Pills should be taken as an auxiliary to the Ointment, v they are so prepared as to act in unison with it, facilitating and confirming the conquest of the disease JDiptlieria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quinsty.-r-Jlht above complaints have for twenty years been treated with Holloway's Ointment and Pills with pejffect success. The cures have been bo remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that these often fatal diseases are mort easily cured by these medicines than even the common sore throat, if taken in time. The Kidneys, Stmie and Gravel. —ln these complaint! the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro viding it is' very effectually rubbed over the regions of the kidneys, wjiich it will penetrate and give almost immediate relief, while the Pills should beI'taken according to the printed directions, when the most extraordinary cures may be effected by this means. Bad Legs, Bad Breasts, Scrofulous t Sores,..and Glandular Swellings. —ln such cases the Ointment operates surely and with a rapidity that resembles magic. It should be rubbed into the parts affected after they have been fomented with lukewarm water. The purifying and curative powers of this maryellous unguent have neve rfailcd. An old sore, wound, or ulcer always yields to its influence, and in cases of bad breasts, or milk fevers, its action fs wonderful. Glandular swellings may soon be reduced by following the printed directions. The Action of the Heart — Dropsy. —The last named disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of the heart, and difficult respiration ; which symptoms are always severe, and ever go from bad to worse unless proper means of cure are resorted to. In Holloway's unrivalled Ointment and Pills the dropsical patient will ever find succour ; the present relief derived from the use of ■ these remedies is marvellously quick and. perseverance in the steady application of this famous Ointment invariably results in a cure. Th4y act with such energy, on -the circulation and absorbent system that the dropsical fluid vanishes, and the sufferer finds all the oppressive symptoms daily decline till natural health returns/ Gout and Rheumatism may be cured «ith,,jth« greatest certainty if large quantities of the Ointment be well worked into the complaining parts, and this perseveringly done for some time. It is no use,to smear it on the skin only, it must be pot into the system. Take as many Pills nightly as will, act tijfd'or three times during* the 24 hours; 2chew the'useof coffee, and all stimulants. When these oomplaintt are leaving the system the virulence ol the complaint frequently seems to increase. ( ; Indiscretion of Youth.— Sores, ulcers, and swellings can with'certainty be cured if this Ointment be thoroughly rubbed all round the complaining pajrts twice or thrice a day, keeping them covered with linen rag spread with the same. The Pills must be taken ' according to the printed directions. The blood being in an impure 'State perseverance is necessary. From humane motives letters of advice will be answered gratuitously. ,Io save carriage, the Pills and Ointment should be ob tained in the neighbourhood of - the sufferer,'and not from Holloway's Establishment ':; ' •_ of' Both the Ointment and the Pills should be used in (ft following cases: — Bad Legs Cancers Scalds Bad Breasts Contracted and Sore Nipples Burns Stiff Joints Sore-throats;' Bunions Elephantiasis Skin-disease !„-,;{- Bite of Mosqultos Fistulas ' Scurvy' ' .■ and Sand-Flics Gout ' Sore-heads > ■ Coco-bay Glandular Swell- Tumours .. i T Chiego-foot ings Ulcers :>i , t[ Chilblains Lumbago Wounds Chapped Hands Piles Yaws.
