Bankers ; The Union Bank of Australia, The Bank of Australasia. Ist. 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 lull confidence that it will meet with very general support. y a fi c rßt «tep,itis proposed to offer to the people of this Colony one-half of the nominal capital, or 200,000 shares, in fair promotions to each of the Provinces throughout IS ew Zealand on the basis of the respective popuktions of each Province, reserving the other half to be disposed of hereafter, Is the rapid progress of the Colony may demand and shareholders may decide; but in no instance wiU any of the remaining shares be offered for S of . , th ® C l olo ?y 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 m 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 in Dunedin, in suitable Premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branches mil gradually be opened in the Chief Centres of Settlement throughout the Colony. sth. It will be the chief aim of the Promoters or this Bank to aid and conserve alike the inter oj tlle whole community in this Colony.

ihe Mercantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural Mining, Artizan, and Laboring classes will each have fan- treatment and support from the Colonial Bank. To the Mining Interest special attention will bt given, with a desire to acquire for h<s Miners the Mint value of their Gold whethei i large or small quantities, and until such value; r be ascertained a liberal advance will be made upon any Gold deposited for the purpose of coinage. (sth. 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 ready to do upon Wool, Grain, or other produce. 3 ■ 7th.
