This Company is formed for two objects: Ist and chiefly—For lending money at current rates of interest upon the security of landed property situated within the Colony of New Zealand; and 2r.d. For acquiring, when deemed advisable, landed property situated in or near to cities or towns, or reatrea of population,- n the Colony of Now Zealand, and thereafter selling it again in whole or in lots as may suit purchasers. With a fast increasing population both in town and country, a very fine climate, and land of great fertility opened up by the construction of roads and railways, there is an almost in exhaustible field, for the profitable investment of money in the manner proposed by this Com pany, and it is one very little occupied. This Company intends to occupy that field, and to offer to. the public—particularly to farm settlers, and the working population generally— facilities for acquiring property, and for erecting houses, or effecting other substantial improve ments thereon, on reasonably moderate terms. And the Company can do so profitably to the Shareholders, while at the same time help is given to people who are willing to pay ade quately for the advantages and accommodation offered. - Innocase will money be lent otherwise than upon the security of landed property, a safe margin beingalwayskept. The system which prevails all over the Colony in the buying of land, is that of deferring payment of the price,—so much, being paid as a deposit when the purchase is made, and the remainder by bills for instalments, spread over a limited period of from one to three years, the title being only granted when the price iB fully paid up. This Company, in consequence o£ being in a position to pay in Cash at once, will certainly be able to buy property on much more favourable terms than buyers on deferred payments ; and it Js certain that, by the exercise of ordinary care, a safe and very profitable kind of business can be done by bujing land and selling again in lots to suit purchasers. It is very well known that Companies in New Zealand having objects similar to those of this Company haveTbeen able, notwithstanding very limited resources, not only to pay large divi dends, but also to add to capital. It is not intended to call up more than £1 per share, at the outset at least. The Promoters consider that, with 10a. per share paid up, the Company may make a fair beginning; and they confidently anticipate that, besides paying a good dividend to the Shareholders, the Directors will also, by judicious investments in landed property, be able from time to ; time, out of profits, to make additions to Capital.- The turn over 01 Capital will,be quick, and there will no doubt be available soon a considerable amount of money from deposits made by people both at Home and in New Zealand, so that a large paid-up Capital is not necessary.' Prospectuses, with Forms of Application for Shares, may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, or from the Bankers, at the Welling ton Office, or at any of the Branches, and the' Memorandum and Articles; of Association may be seen in the hands of the Secretary. Should no Allotment be made, the Deposit will be returned without any deduction. ]A"? 1 Lloyd's Rooms, Brandon-street, Wellington, October, 1878. TM P ORT AN T N OTI C E E.

I have very much pleasure in announcing to the Public of Auckland that in addition to the 25 CASES OF MEN'S BOY'S, AND YOUTH'S FASHIONABLE READY-MADE CLOTHING by the Glenlora, I have just unpacked 12 cases more of the same goods, ex Loch Fleet. They were made by the Bkst Whst End of London Tailors according to my owtst derkptions to suit the requirements iof this-market, and will be found to be the FINEST SAMPLE OF GOODS ever landed here for Summer wear. It is not my custom (as is very often done by pome shop-keepers), to bring off the back shelves las year's Goods, and advertise them as " New Stock." I would specially call the attention of parents and - guardians to the shipment of JUVENILE SUITS. ; Although only opened out last week, their adaptability both as regards style and material,-has caused more ithan,; half of them to be sold.
