THE rapidly-increasing importance of the mercantile inter/sts in the group of islands comprised in the Kingdom of Fiji, and the absence of any reliable medium of exchange in that territory^haw suggested the formation of this Company! wmch, it is intended, shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and undertake commercial agency business, by indenting goods, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments. Notwithstanding the difficulties which the early settlers in these Islands have encountered the progress made in the development^ of Commerce has been very satisfactory — tfrevretunis of exports and imports exhibiting rapM 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 Fiji offering superior advantHges. The European population is already considerable, and rapidly increasing ; and the general desire to support law.,and order, and the partial recognition of tbe Government by Great Britain, afford a reasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may be undertalf s & with safety, and with the same recourse as/fbj more settled communities. « Important concessions, including an exclusive right to issue bank notes, and » transact all Government business, are underf offer to the Cjpnapany; and from data furnishes to the promotsrJ, 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, bifS will embrace the numerous groups of islands! in the Pacific, as encouragement may from time to time offer. K>4s^rel{^fed that a paid-up Capital of JE50.000 will, fifr'Xtime, amply provide for the current requirements of the Company, the uopajd-^apTlal remaining as a basis for credit with its^¥f»e"nts A further issue of shares will be made as required, on terms to be settled by the Board of Directors.

THE BEST FAMILY SEWING MACHINE in the world. It comprises all the good poinjs,— and combines al. that is valuable in the whole of them, besides wnich it has many important advantages possessed b" no other ma&hine. THE REVERSIBLE FEED \ enables the operator to sew eithef way; fasten to ends of seams without stopping/ or turning the work. — — / IT HAS THE SELF-ADJUSTING SHUTTLE TENSION. 7 IT MAKES FOUR KINDS /oF STITCHES. THE SAVING OF"THREAD Over machines making the chain or embroidery Btitch will in one year be more than the cost oi the machine. THE LOCK STITCH, compared with the chain stitch, is less clumsy, — is less liable to be washed or ironed off, and does not, like the latter, form a network to retain dirt. THE EXACT AND POSITIVE MOTION of every part, with no uncertain springs or brush pads, renders it almost impossible for a Florence Machine to get out of order, and enables even an ordinary operator to use it successfully. IT USES THE SAME SIZE THREAD on both sides, and both sides of the seam are alike THAT IT IS THE BEST, is evidenced by the fact that of the thousands sold in the United Kingdom during the past two years, none give dissatisfaction. All extras, fifteen articles and. one dozen needles FREE OF CHARGE. ALFRED OAKET, SOLE AGENT FOR NEW ZEALAND, Bbidge-stbket. Foub Doobs fboai MoGbb's Hotel.
