The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colpny of New Zealand having long been felt, it has been determined by the. Provisional: . Committee to supply the same by placing before the public the present-carefully coneidered scheme, with the full confidence that it will meet with very general support. 2nd. Asa first step it is proposed to offer to the people, of this Colony one-half of the nominal capital, or 200,000 shares, in fafr proportions to each of the Provinces throughout Few Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of each' Province, re- ■ serving 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 *c kept. 3rd.
