Warbrop, Esq., i^hortland-street. riIHE rapidly-increasing importance of .the X mercantile interests in the group of islands comprised in the Kingdom of Hji, and the absence- of any reliable medium of exchange ia that territory, have suggested the formation of this Company, which, it is intended, shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and undertake commercial agency business, by indenting goods, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consign men ts. Notwithstanding the difficulties which th early settlers in there Islands have encountered, the progress made in the development of Commerce has been very satisfactory — the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapi 1 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 planters 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 j Fiji offering superior advantages. The European population is already considerable, And rapidly increasing ; and the general desire to support law and order, and the partial recognition of the Government by Great 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 ootes, and to transact all Government business, are under « ffer 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 the numerous groups of islands in the Pacific, as encouragement may from time to time offer. It is believed that a paid-up Capital of £50 000 will, for a time, amply provide for the current requirements of the Company, the uopaid 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.
