> Bankers: The Umoa Bank of Australia. The Bank of Australasia. ■ Ist. The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colony of New Zealandhavingbeen long fX it Keen determined by the Provisional Committee to supply the same by placing before the publie the Present carefully considered schemef with the full confidence that it will meet with very general support. J 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 proportions to each of the Provinces 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 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 * It , “ 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.

4th. As soon as a sufficient number of Shares shall have been applied for to warrant the commencement of business, the Head Office will be opened m Dunedin, in suitable Premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branches will gradually be opened in the Chief Centres of Settlement throughout the Colony. sth. It will be the chief aim of the Promoters or this Dank to aid and conserve alike the inter eats of the whole community in this Colony. I,'he Mercantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural, Mining, Artizan, and Laboring classes will each ""•to treatment and support from the Colonial Bank, To the Mining Interest special attention will bf given, with a desire to acquire to . r hj? Miners the Mint value of their Gold whether a large or small quantities, and until such valuo r be ascertained a liberal advance will be made upon any Gold deposited for the purpose of coinage. 6tJn It is not intended by the Promoters that this Bank shall purchase Gold, but merely be prepared to make advances upon it until realised, in the same manner that it will be readv to 7 d ° u K° n Wool > or other produce. 7 Ihe amount of New Zealand Monevin riad W d fn tl th p i thre ® Banks from Australia W d « S i the C°hmy on the 31st December lwt,M shown by tbeir several returns furnished ln^L G ° Ver u ment ’ a PP ear thus, without giving odd numbers rr . , Deposits.
