The Bank of Australasia. Ist 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 carefuUy considered ) scheme, with the full confidence that it will meet with V very general support. _ , 2nd. As a first step, proposed to offer to the people of tills 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 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 -8 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 B 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 * whole Institution. , ~ 4th As soon as a sufflcent number of shares shall have been applied for to warrant the commencement of business, the Head Office will be openedin Dun a edin, in suitable premises already secured under oiler. a and thereafter Branches will gradually be opened I in the chief centres of settlement throughout the °sth yit will be the chief aim of the Promoters of ,r this Bank to aid and conserve alike the interests of a the whole community in this Colony. The Mer cantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural, Mining, Artisan, and Labouring classes will each have fan treatment and support from the Colonial Bank. Tc i 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 j« vancewillbe made upon any gold deposited for tht purpose of coinage. ._•___. A 6th. It is not intended by the Promoters that this Bank shall purchase Gold, but merely be prepared tc make advances upon it until realised, in the sam< manner that it wiU be ready to do upon Wool, Grain, or other produce. . , 7th The amounts of New Zealand Money in tn< hands of the three Banks from Australia trading v the Colony on the 31st December last, as shewn D} their several returns furnished to the Government ~ appear thus, without giving odd numbers :— S Deposits. Circulation. Total. Union Bank of • „ * „ nno , a .

The therefore have no hesitation in suggesting the pn dence and wisdom of the colonists keeping within the own domain the absolute control of their oj, moneys •as by-so doing they will most effectually d PS stroy the risk of future monetary disturbances, whn they have had on more than one occasion to deplore the past) brought about solely by some crisis that h occurred in one or other of the Australian Oolonu where the real interests of the foreign Bank mc Strongly take root. .... ■ Z_ 9th.

It is proposed at the issue of shares above re ferred to that 5s per share be paid on application; that 10s per share be paid on allotment; that a call of 5s per share be made and payable two months after allotment; that a second call of 5s 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 30s 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. llth. 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 Colonial Bank of New 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, and 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 tbe influence and sound experience pos sessed by the promoting members of committee, it i 3 certain that no similar institution has ever yet 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-operat ing with a local Provisional Committee. Meantime forms of application for shares may be obtained, and applications may bo lodged with the Union Bank of Australia and Bank Of Australasia. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. Date 1874.
