Wanganui: Marlborough: W. H. Eyes, J. Sinclair, Esqrs. Taranaki: Southland: It is manifest to those who have directed attention to the subject, that the Banking establishment* in New Zealand have derived immense profits which are payable entirely to a foreign proprietary, from a trade CARRIED ON WITH THE FUNDS OF TIIECoLONISTS J « circumsUnce which must lead to the consideration whether the Colonists of New Zealand are not now in a position to enjoy, and entitled toreceive, whatever advantages can be derived from the employment of their own capital. Another consideration which should unite the Colonists of New Zealand in an effort to establish a. New Zealand Bank, is this, no Foreign Bank will study the interests of New Zealand; but the interests of such an establishment are regarded as paramount; the New Zealand branches being of necessity made to feel the effects of financial pressure in other colonies, and accommodation is given or refused, frequently, not according to the requirements of the 13ank's customers in New Zealand, but measured by the Bank's engageinients and necessities elsewhere. A New Zealand institution would not be disturbed by these influences : its capital would be specially devoted to new Zealand ntere.sts. A reference to the Bank returns, published periodically in tho Government Gazettes of the colony, will show the very large profits made from the Deposits of the Colonists. What foreign Banks have for many years done for us with our own funds, we now propose to do for ourselves by local effort and management. It is, therefore, proposed to establish on a broad and permanent basis a Banking Institution capable of doing the present Banking business of New Zealand, and snsceptiblo of expansion with a view to meet tho requirements of that prosperous future which it is believed will certainly and shortly be realised for New Zealand. To accomplish this desirable result—to secure tho bulk of the deposits now held by foreign Banks— and to give to the public an institution worthy of confidence—it is proposed that tho capital shall be 50,000 shares of £10 each. This amount it is conceived will bo more than ample to secure the confidence c-f tho public, and of any foreign Banks with whom it may be desirable or necessary to havo transactions. One-half of the subscribed capital to be called up aB follows: — j 2s. 6d. per share on application. I 17s. 6d, per chare on,signing the Deed of Settle j ment.
