The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Bank ing Institution for the whole Colony of New ZealaLd having been long felt, it has been determined by the Provisional Committee to supply the same by placing before the public the present carefully considered scheme, with the full confidence that it will meet with very general support. 2nd1. As a first step, proposed to offer to the people of this Colony one-half of the nominal capital, or 200,000 shares, in fair proportions to each of-the Pro vinces throughout New Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of rach Province, reserving the other ha'f to be disposed of hereafter, as the rapid progress of the co'ony may demand and shareholders may decide; but in no instance will any of the remain ing shares be offered for sale out of the Colony without having been first offered to the Colonial holders, nor will any but a New Zealand register be kept. 3rd. It is intended that the Head Office of the Bank shall be in Dunedin, and that a General Manager of high professional standing shall be ap pointed to guide the operations of the Bank; and also that a Board of qualified Directors shall be elected from amoDg tlie Committee to advise with the General Manager, and geuerally to watch the interests of the whole Institution. 4th.' As soon as a sufllcent number of shares shall have been applied for to warrant the commencement of business, the Head Office will be opened in Dun edin, in suitable premises already secured under offer, and thereafter' Branches will gradually De opened in the chief centres of settlement throughout the °5th 1. y'lt will be the chief aim of the Promoters of this Bank to aid and conserve alike the interests of the whole community in this Colony. ' The Mer cantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural, Mining, Artisan, and Labouring classes will each have fair treatment and support from the Colonial Bank. To the mining interest special attention will be given, with a'desire to acquire for the Miners the Mint value of their gold, whether in large or small quantities, and until such value can be ascertained a liberal ad vance will be made upon any gold deposited for the purpose of coinage. , , ~, 6th. It is not intended by the Promoters that this Bank shall purchase Gold, but merely be prepared to make advances upon it uatil realised, in the same manner that it will be ready to da upon Wool, Grain, or other produce. • 7th. The amounts of New Zealand Money in the 'hands of the three Banks from Australia trading in the Colony on the 31st December last, as shewn by: their several returns furnished to the Government, appear thus, without giving odd numbers :— Deposits. Circulation. Total. Union Bank of Australia .. £870,000 .. £123,425 .. £993,425 Bank of New South AVales 600,000 .. 104,849 .. 664,849 Bank of Austral asia .. .. 193,000 .. 38,962 .. 231,962 Shewing a total of .. £1,890,236 or nearly two millions of money belonging to colonists entrusted to Boards of Directors in Melbourne or Sydney to control or manipulate as it may please their tastes ; or as it may be convenient for the good of commerce in Victoria or New South Wales ; or for the beneficial regulation of their exchange operations 4n those Colonies. ' . Bth. TEe Promoters, in placing the foregoing facts before the people of this Golony, desire to point out the very great disadvantages that colonists are sure to labour under by lending or rather giving—such a large sum of money as stated above to foreign Banks, to be lent back to the people here at very high rates of interest, and on most arbitrary conditions They therefore have no hesitation in suggesting the pru dence and wisdom of the colonists keeping within their own domain the absolute control of their own moneys ; as by so doing they will most effectually de stroy the risk of future.monetary disturbances, which they have had on more than one occasion to deplore in the past, brought about solely by some crisis that has occurred in one or other of the Australian Colonies, "where the real interests of the foreigu -Bank mosi strongly take root.

Prospectus. Provisional Committee is willing to become a sub scriber for the number of shares standing opposite to his namp.* 10th. It is proposed at the issue of shares above re ferred to that 5s per share be paid on application; that 10s per shate be paid on allotment; that a call of 5s per share be made and payable two months after allotment; that a second call of fis per share be made and payable four months after allotment; and that a third call of 5s per share be made- and payable six months after allotment-making together 30* paid up per share. No further call to be made within twelve months of the Bank first commencing business in Dunedin; after which future calls will not exceed 5s per share, nor be made at shorter intervals than three months between each call. 11th. The Act of Incorporation for this Bank will be so framed as to limit the liability of the shareholders to twice the amount of their shares, the same as the other Banks. 12th. As a thoroughly colonial institution the pro moters have much pleasure in strongly recommending . '' The C<ii,o- i.vlßank ofKkwZealand" to thosup port of all colonists having the >eal welfare of New Zealand ,it heart. Such an institution is much wanted at the present, time, and as the development of the colony proceeds, its usefulness will also increase, and bfi more and more appreciated, both as an investment for the savings of the people, and as a useful Bank. Judging from the influence and sound experience pos sessed by the promoting members of committee, it is certain that no similar institution has ever y«t been launched in the Southern Hemisphere under better auspices. A deputation of Provisional Directors will visit Auckland in a few days for the purpose of co-opopat ing with a local Provisional Committee. .Meantime forms of application for shaves may be obtained, and applications may be lodged with the Union Bank of Australia and Bank of Australasia.
