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 Pro^ visional Committee to supply the same by placing before the public the present carefully considered scheme, with the fall confidence that it will meet with very general support. 2nd. A 8 a first step, \t ia proposed to pffer ta the people of this Colony one-half Of the nominal capital, or 20»,00Q shares, \n fair proportions to each of the Provinces throughout New Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of eaoh 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 Bask shall be in Duaedin, and that a General Manager of high pi(tff>9»ieifisl standing shall be appointed to guide the operations of the Bank ; and ajso that a Board oi Qualified Directors' shall he elected from among the Committee to advise with the Qeneral Manager, and generally watch the interests of the whole Institution. 4th. As soon as a sufficient number oi Shares shall have been applied for to warrani the commencement of business, the Head Office will be opened in Dunedin, in suitable premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branches will gradually he opened in the Chief Centres of Settlement through* out the Colony. sth, It will be the chief aim of the Pro maters . of this Bank to aid and conserve ajike the interests of the whole community in this Colony. The Mercantile, Trading Pastoral, Agricultural, Miniag, Arli&o, anc Laboring classes will each have fair treat ment and support from the Coloniai Bank To the Mining Interest special attention, y?i\ be given, with a. desire to acquire for th< Miners the Mint val^eof their Gold, wbet^ei in large, or small quantities, and until sue] Value tan be ascertained a. liberal ad vane •Wll be made upon any Gold deposited fa ibft pttipdsft of cpii>M©. fwirr« "sth.
