The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking 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, it is proposed to offer to the people of this Colony. one-half of the nominal capital, or 200,000 shares, in fair proSortions to each of the Provinces throughout Few 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 remaining 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 appointed 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 watch the interests of the whole Institution. ? oon as a sufficient number of Sha snail have been applied for to warrant the cc mencement of business, the Head Office will opened m Dunedin, in suitable Premises aim secured under offer, and thereafter Brano wall gradually he opened in the Chief Cent of Settlement throughout the Colony, fit,- -d 'T m be. the chief aim of the Promoi of this Bank to aid and conserve alike the inl ests of the whole community in this Colo The Mercantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultui Mining, Artizan, and Laboring classes will e have fair treatment and support from the C< nial Bank. To the Mining Interest special tention will hf given, with a desire to acqi for the Miners the Mint value of their G( whether in large or small quantities, and u: such value can be ascertained a liberal adva will be made upon any Gold deposited purpose of coinage.
