Macfarlane, Esq; BANKERS: The Bank of New Zealand. COMMERCIAL ;A GENTS : The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited). SOLICITORS : Messrs Whitaker and Russell. SECRETARY (pro tern.) : A. Wardrop, Esq., Shortland street. The rapidly-increasing importance of the mercantile interests in the group, iof islands comprised in the Kingdom of Fiji; and the absence of any reliable medium of exchange in that territory, have suggested the formation of this Company, which, it is intended, ■hall .supply ordinary Banking facilities and under take commercial agency business, by indenting goods, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments. Notwithstanding the 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 expansion. The capabilities of the Islands for sugar and cotton cultivation are of the Tery highest description, find, with the introduction of capital and the means afforded to planters to turn their produce to account, there can bo no doubt that the above interests will be very speedily and largely Increased. Abeady tracts of country have been secured by planters from other sugar-producing countries, the climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages. The European population is already considerable, and rapidly increasing; and the general desire to mpport law and order, and the partial recognition of the Government by Great 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 Fiji, but will embrace the numerous groups of Islands in the Pacific, as encouragement may from time to time offer. It is believed that a paid-up Capital of £50.000 will, tpr 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 •hares will be made as required, on terms to be settled by the Board of Directors. Of the £2 10s to be called up on the First Issue of •hares, 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. JJo promoters' or paid up shares will be issued, and the preliminary expenses are guaranteed not to exceed £1,000. Applications for shares—accompanied by a deposit of 10s per share—will.be received by the Secretary on and after Ist August and up to Ist Septempor 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, 1878. FORM OP APPLICATION FOR SHARES.'

TTOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT Scorbutic Eruptions, as Sore Heads andScrofulovt Swellings.— lf this powerful Ointment be well ruhboy into the parts affected all 'skin disease will be speedild overcome. 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, as they are so prepared as to act in unison with it, facilitating and confirming the conquest of the.disease Dipthcria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quinsey. —The above complaints hare for twenty years been treated with Ilolloway's Ointment and Pills with perfect success. The cure 3 have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that these often fatal diseases aremora easily cured by these medicines than even the common sore throat, if" taken in time. The Kidneys, Sterne and Gravel.—ln these complaint* the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro dding it is very'effectuallyrubbed over the regions of the kidneys, which it will penetrate and give almost immediate relief, while the Pilla should be taken according to the printed directions, when the most extraordinary cures may be effected by this means. Bad Legs, Bad- Breasts, Scrofulous 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 wate^ The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous unguent have neve /failed. An old sore, wound, or ulcer always yields to its influence, and in cases of bad breasts, or milk fevers, its action is 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. They" act with such energy pn 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 ami Rheumatism may be cured with the 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 pn the skin only, it must be got into the system.' Take as many Pills nightly as will act two ot three times during the 24 hours ; g chew the use ol coffee, and all stimulants. When these complaintt 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 parts twice or thrice a day, keeping them covered,with linen rag spread with the same. The l'ills 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. To save carriage, the Pills and Ointment should be oh tainedlln the neighbourhood of the -sufferer, and not from ilolloway's Establishment i Both the Ointment and the l'ills should be used in th follcwing cases : — Bad Legs Cancers Scalds Bad Breasts Contracted and Sore Nipples Burns Stiff Joints Sore-throats1 Bunions Elephantiasis Skin-disease Bite of Mosqnitos Fistulas Scurvy " and Sand-Flies Gout . |Sore-heads Coco-bay Glandular Swell-jTumours . ■ Chiego-foot ings j Ulcers Chilblains Lumbago iWounds Chapped Hands- Piles Yaws. .Corns (Soft) Rheumatism \* There is a considerable; ; saving by L taking the larger sizes.
