Wahdrop, I'bq., irhortland-stTeet. fTIELFi rapidly-increasing importance of the X mercantile interests in the grojp of if-lnnria comprised iv the Kingdom of i'iji, and the absence of any reliable: medium of exchange in that territory, have Fiiggesicd the formation of thi^ Company, which, it id intended, shall supp'y ordinary Banking facilities and undertake commercial agency business, by indenting goods, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments. Notwithstanding tiio difficulties which ihe earJy settlers in theee Islands have encouiitered, the progress made iv the development of Commerce has l>een very satisfactory — the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapil expansion. The capabilities ol the Tslnudß for sugar I and cotton cultivation are of the. very highest I descrijition, an , with the introduction of capital and the menus afforded to planters to turn thtiv* produce to account, there can be no donbt that the above interests will be very speedily and largely increased. Already tracts of country have been secured by planters from other sugarproduoiug countries, the climate and soil of Fiji (flaring superior advant-ges. The European population is already considerable, and rapidly increasing ; and the general di-sire to support law aud order, and the partial T> cognition of the Government b\ Greur. Untnin, afford a reasonable ground for believing tlvit transactions in Fiji may be undertaken with I safety, and with the same recourse as in more i settled communities. Important concessions', including nrt exclusive right to issue hank notes, and to transact all Government business, are under < it-.r to the O.mpony; and from data furnished to the promoters, it ia believed thai; a very satisfactory return on the capital to be invested will be ensured. The scope <A' the Company's operations will not be confined to l-iji, but will embrace the numerous groups of islands in the Tac'fic, a3 encouragement may from time to time offer. lj is believed tbat a paid-up Capital of £50 000 will, for n timu, amply provide for the current requirements of the rompany, the unpaid '■ npital remnining as a basis for credit with its Agents A further issue of shares will ho m<Kk' as required, on term 3 to be settled by the Board of Directors Of the £2 10/ to be called up on the First Issue of shaves, a deposit of 10/ per i-hare will b« rtj quired on application and a like amount ou j allotment. ."Subsequent calls will be made aa n quired, not; exceeding £1 per share, with a notice of not less than one month.
