The above Returns are conjointly published for general information; and in order to account for the great disparity in the amount of Notes in circulation in the two Provinces, it i> presumed, that the inhabitants of this Province do not understand the principles upon which the Colonial Rank of Issue has been established, nor the advantages that would he derived by an extensive circulation of its bank notes. The sum of Sixteen Thousand Pounds Sterling has been invested under the warrant of His Excellency the Governor, in the public funds in England, and the interest, about 490/. arising from this investment will be applied, in the first instance, towards defraying the expenses incurred in conducting the business of the said Colonial Bank ot Issue at Wellington and at Auckland, and the surplus, about 170/., will be paid to the Colonial Treasurer for the public uses of the Colony, and the support of the Government thereof. These facts then disprove the assertion recently and publicaly made, “ that the Colonial Bank of Issue is an expensive experiment.” Besides, the Bank has been self-supported since the commencement of the present year. It will be apparent to all unprejudiced persons, that if the business of the Bank enables it to appropriate a surplus sum of money to the Revenue for the support of the Government. The establishment of a . Colonial Bank is a benefit to the Colony, and, as such, merits more support from the inhabitants of this Province, which would promote a large circulation of the bank notes in the office at Auckland, and by which the surplus for the public uses of the Colony would very soon be trebled.
