Wardrop, Esq., Shortland street. ■The rapidly-increasing importance of the mprcantilo , Interests in the group of islands comprised in tho Kinjfrtom of Fiji, and the absence of any reliable mpflium of exchange in that territory, linve sußffested tho formation of this Company, which, it is intended, shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and under take commercial agency business, by indenting goods,' advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking con sign in en ts. ■ . Notwithstanding the difficulties which the early settlors in these Islands have encountered, the pro- Bross made in the development of Commerce has been vory satisfactory,—the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. The capabilities of the ; Islands for sugar arid cotton cuHivation are of the vnry highest description, and, with the introduction of oapital and the ;means afforded to planters to turn their produce to account, there can be no-doubt that the above interests will be very speedily and largnly increased. Already tracts of country have I been secured by planters from other sugar-producing countries, tho climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages. . . : ■ ■ ' .■. .v ..■■ >i Thfi European population is already considerable, »nd rapidly .increasing; and the e'eneral desire to B'ipport law and ordor, ,°nd the partial recognition of the Government by Great Britain, afford, a reasonable groiihd for believinythaf transactions' in Fiji rhitr 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 /ill Government business, are under offer to tho Company and. from data furnished to the promoters, it is believed that a very satisfactory return on the capital' to be Invested will bo ensured. The scope of the Company's operations will not bo confined to Fiji, but will embrace tho numerous groups of Islnnds in the Pacific, as encouragement 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-piid 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 the Board of Directors v Of the £2 10s to Tie called up on the First Issue of shares, a deposit of 10s pnr share will be required on application and a like amount' (Sri 'Allotment. Sub sequent calls will be marie as required, not exceeding £1 per^haro, with a notice of not less than one month. No promoters' or paid up shares will be issued, and the preliminary expenses are guarinte'ednot toeicceed £1,000. . . . ,- . ~ Applications for shades—accompanied by a depqsit of 10s per share—will be received by the.SSecTetey1 on and after Ist August and up to Ist September next,' a proforence being given to priority of application.
