They therefore have no hesitation in suggesting the prudence and wisdom of the colonists keeping withm their own domain the absolute Control of moneys, as by so doing theywill most effectually destroy the risk of future monetary disturbances, which they have had on more than one occasion to deplore in the past, brought about solely by some crisis that has occurred in ohe or other of the Australian Colonies, where the real interests of the foreign Bank most strongly take root, ~ 9 J h ;, It c h ¥ *? een drained by the Promoters that the first issue of 200,000 Shares shall be conducted by Committees, to be appointed severaUy in the chief City in each Province; and no Shares will be given or reserved to the Promoters ; but each member of the Provisional Committee is willing to become subscriber for name'* nber ° £ Shares standin & opposite to his 10th.

As a thoroughly Colonial Institution, the Promoters have much pleasure in strongly recommending The Colonial Bank op New Zealand to the support 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 ffppreciated, both as an investment for the savings of the people, and as a useful Bank. Judging from the influence and sound expenence possessed by the pxomoting Members of Committee, it is certain that no similar Institution has ever yet been launched in the Southern Hemisphere under better auspices.
