The Promoters, in placing the fore-: going fac's before the people of this Colony 1 desire to point out the very great disadvantages that colonists are: sure to labor under by lending—or rather giving—such a large pum of money as stated above to foreign Bank?, to be lent back to the people here at very high rates of inter'ejjfc, fond on most arbitrary conditions. The/therefore have no hesitation ih suggesting the prudence and wisdom of the colonists keeping within their own domain the absolute control of their own moneys ; as by so doing they will most effectually destroy the risk.of future monetary disturbances, which : t,hey jhave had, on more than one occasion to iieplore in the pasfj- Tiroughtiibdut iolely 'by some crisis that has occurred in one or other of the Australian Colonies, where the real interests ~of the foreign Bank most strongly tak'e.rbo'tf, :, - ■,■■■ •-■-=■■■ t " . y\ *. •; 9th.

As a thoroughly colonial institution! the proiriote'S have much pleasure in strongly recommending "The Coionial Bank o? New Zbal/AM) " to the support of all colonists having the real welfare of New Zealand at hearts. • Stfch : anl instituiion is much wanted at the present time, and as th? development of the colony proceeds, its usefulness will also increase, and be more and more; appreciated, both as an investment for the savings of the people, and as a v eful Bank. Judging from tho influence and sound experience possessed by the promoting members of committee, it is certain that no similar institution lias ever yet been launched in the! Southern Hemisphsro under better euspices.: ' A deputation of Provisional Directors will visit Auckland in a few dayß,for,tlie purpose' of co-operating with a local' Provisional Committee.
