ARTILLERY BAND EXCURSION.

The band assembled near the firebell, Queen street, at 2 o'clock p.m. on Christmas Day, and marched thence to the wharf, -where the tone Steamer Rotomahana, which was chartered for tbe excursion trip was in waiting. On the band arriving at tie wharf, the steamer was almost filled wiih excursionists, and aoour iuu who had accompanied the band were unable to get on board. There were over 400 people on the Bteamer when ehe left the wharf at 2.SU p.m. for Tiritiri, some standing during the journey, while others occupied the handsome saloon ot this nicely fitted boat. A drizzling rain had set in, but notwithstanding this, the trip was a very pleasant one. Captain Farquhar with his usual kindness had placed tbe, awn"lS, u P1 a °r the convenience of those on deck, and did all in his power to ensure t he comfort of passengers. Refreshments of every description were to be had at reasonable charges from the kind and and well-known steward of this vessel; in fact the captain and all his staff were very attentive in their efforts to please. The excursion did not extend quite to Tin, owlnj? to the ram. Xhe steamer was turned back, and headed past Brown's Isand and Motutapu; then tun mg again, and steaming up the harbour, arriving, at 5.30 p.m., when all seemed much pleased with the trip. The band rendered in a very tasteful manner, some choice pieces of sacred music during the trip. No doubt the members of the band may well feel proud of the patronage given to their firs.t novel Christmas excursion. and financially speaking it must be a welcome addition to their band fund.

This Company is formod for two objects: Ist and chiefly—For lending money at current rates of interest upon the upcurity of landed property sicuated within the Colony of New Zealand ; and 2rd. For. acquiring, when deemed advisable, landed property situated in or near to citins or towns, or centres of population, n the Colony of-New1 Zealand, and thereafter selling it again in wliole or inlois as may suit purchasers. With a ia'it. increasing, population both in ■ town and country, a very fine climate, and land .of greatfertility-opened up by the construciion of roads and. railways, there is an almosfrih exhausiible fie'd for the profitable investment of money in the manner proposed by this Com pany, and it i-sono very little occupied. \:This Company intends .to-occupy that field, and to offer to ihe ' public—particularly to; farm settlers, and the working population generally—. facilities for acquiring property, and i'or erecting i houses, or'effecting other substantial improve ments thereon, on reasonably moderate terms. And -the Company can dp so profitably to the bharahojiders, while at tSie same time help is giveii to people who are willing to pay ade quately for tho advantages arid accommodation offered. : In-nocas9 Tull money bo lent otherwise than upon the security of Jsmded property, a safe, margin being always -kept. The system which prevails all over' tho Colony in tbebrsynigoflanci, is thasof deferring payment, of the price.—fo ranch baiag paid as deposit when tho purchase is made, and the remainder by bills for mita reeifts, spread ovsr a limited period of-from Ofce to three years, the title being only granted "vvien the price 'ia fnily paid up. Thin Company, in consequence of being in a positioa to pay In C'nsh at ouco, ■T?iii cenainljr be able to bus property on much more favourable terms tban .buyers on deferred ' payments.; and.-it is certain tlwt, by the exercise oi' ordinary care, a, no:L: e.tid very prolltabls kind of buainesst can ba dove by bujißg land and Ge-"i!ig ;ir(rtin i;i lots to suit pnrci'ir.'sers. - It is very well knov/n 'that Companies in New Zbtiland having objects simiiar to those Qt tliia Company have been able, notwithstanding very limited resources, .not .only to pay large divi ■ deads; but also to add to capital." It is not intended to call up moro than £1 per share, at the outset, at least. Tho Promoters consider that, .with 10s. per share paid-up, the Company may make a fair beginning; and tlie.v confidently anticipate that, besides paying a good dividend to tie Shareholders, the Directors will also, by judicious investments in landed property, be. able from time to time, out of prolits, to make additions to". Capital. The ttirn over or Capital-will bo 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. {5 ,; J ■ : Prospectuses, with-Forms of Application for Shnres.^may be obtained .at-the.Offices of.the Conipany, 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 Allotincnt be made, the: Deposit : will be" returned- without any deduction. .
