The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Bank ing Institution for the whole Colony of New Zealand 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. 2nd. As a first step, proposed to offer to the people of this Colony one-half of the nominal capital, or 200.C00 shares, in fair proportions to each of the Pro vinces throughout New Zealand, on the basis_ of tbe respective populations of each Province, reserving the other half to be disposed of hereafter, as the rapid progress of the colony 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 among the Committee to advise with the General Manager, and generally to watch the interests of the wkole Institution. 4th. As soon as a sufflcent number of shares shall : have been applied for to warrant the commencement l of business, the Head Office will be opened in Dun edin, in suitable premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branches will gradually be opened in the chief centres of settlement throughout the Colony. stb. It 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 smaU 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 Promoter that this Bank shall purchase Gold, but merely be prepared to make advances upon it until realised, in the same manner that it will be ready to do 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 - _"_"_ '7 Australia ~ £870,000 .. £123,425 .. £093,425 Bank of New South Wales 660,000 .. 104,849 .. 664,849 Bank of Austral- __ , <■•■ i „ asia .. .. 193,000 .. 38,962 .. 231,962 1 , ■ 7 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 in those Colonies. i _ 7. J Bt_.-:The Promoters, in placing the foregoing facts before the people of this Colony, 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 mouetary disturbances, which they have had on more than one occasion to deplore in the past, brought abont sfclely by some crisis that has occurred in one or other of the Australian Colonies, where the real interests of the foreign Bank most , jtrongly take root.'

As a thoroughly colonial institution the pro moters have much pleasure in strongly recommending " The Colonial Bank op Mew Zealand" to the sup port of all colonists having the real welfare of New Zealand at heart. Such an institution is much wanted at the present time, sind as the development of the colony proceeds, its usefulness will also increase, and be 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 yet been launched in the Southern Hemisphere under better auspices. «. _ deputation of Provisional Directors will visit Auckland in a few days for the purpose of co-operat ing with a local Provisional Committee.
