The fimount of New Zealand Monef in the bands of the three Banks from Austria tra) ing in the Colony on the 31st December last, as shown by tbeir several rtturns <ur nisbed to tbe Government, appear thus, without giving odd numbers :— -.^.^ _ .

They there'ore hive no hpsita-ion' in suggesting the prudence and wisdom of the Colonists keeping within their own domain _he absolute control of their own monies; as by\odbing they will most effectually destrry tmr rhk of luture monetiry disturbances, which they have had on more than one ccca.ion to deplore in tbe past, brought about solely by some crisis that has occurred in one or other of the Australian Colonies, where the real interests of the foreign Bank most strongly take root. 9th It has been determined by the Promoters that the fi'St issue $f 200.000 Shares shall be conducted by Committees to be appointed severally in ihe chief City in each Province; ahd no Shares wilt be given or reserved to the Promoters; but each member olthe Provisional Committee is willing to become a sub.criber for the number of Shares -standing opposite his name.* 10th.

As a thorqylfiy Colonial Institution, the promoters havemnch pleasure in stronily recommending^TiiE Colonial Bank of N_£jv Zealand" to the sujpport of all Colonist\ having the real welffre of New Zealand at; heart. Such an /Institution is much wanted at the present, time, and as the development, of the Colony proceeds, its usefulness wilXi also increase, and be more and more appreaf ated, both as an investment for the saviiKs of the people and as.a. useful Bank. Judging from, the influence and sound experielce possessed by the promoting Members of Ommittee, it is certain that no similar Institution has ever yet been launched in the Southernhemisphere under better auspices. About 100,000 shareß have been already applied for ; and . the greatest success has attended, the Deputationlappointed visit the Prbvincis, wito have -visited Canterbury and Wellington. 1571 General Notices.
