Wardrop, Esq., .Shortland-street. r|IHE rapidly-increasing importance of the JL mercantile interests in the group of islands comprised in thc Kingdom ol Fiji, and the absence of any reliable medium of exchange in that territory, have suggested the formation of this Company, which, it ia intended, shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and undertake commercial agency business, by indenting good3, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments. JNotwithstanding lhe difficulties which the early settlers in these Islands have encountered, the progress made in the development of Commerce hns been very satisfactory — the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. The capabilities ol the Islands for sugar and cotton cultivation are of the, very highest description, an ', with the introduction of capital and the means afforded to philters to turn their produce to account, there can be no doubt that the above interests will be very speedily and largely increased. Already tracts of country have been secured by planters from other sugarproducing countries, the climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advant»ges. The European population is already considerable, aud rapidly increasing ; and the general dt sire to support law aud order, and the partial rc-cognition of the Government bv Groat, Britain, afford a reasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may be undertaken with safety, and with the same recourse as in more settled communities. Important concessions, including an exclusive right to issue bank notes, and to transact all Government business, are under oilier to the Company; and from data furnished to the promoters, it is believed that a very satisfactory return on the capital to be invested will be ensured. The scope of the Company's operations will not be confined to Fiji, but will embrace thc numerous groups of islands in the Pacific, as encouragement may from time to time offer. I***, is believed that a paid-up Capital of £50,000 will, for a time, amply provide for the current requirements ofthe Company, the unpaid Capital remaining as a basis for credit with its Agents A further issue of shares will be made as required, on terms to be settled by the Board of Directors, Of the £2 10/ to be called up on the First Issue of shares, a deposit cf 10/ per phure will be required on application and a like amount on allotment.
