Australia trading in the Colony on 31st December last, as shown by their several returns furnished to the Government, appear thus, without giving odd numbers : — Deposits. Circulation. Total. Union Bank of Australia - £870,000 £123,425 £903,425 Bank of New South Wales 560,000 104,849 664,849 Bank of Australia - - - 193,000 38,962 231,962 Showing a total of £1,890,236 or nearly two millions of money belonging to colonists entrusted to Boards of Directors in Melbourne or Sydney to control or manipulate as it may please their tastes ; or as it may be convenient for the good of commerce in Victoria or New South Wales ; or for the beneficial regulation of their exchange operations in those Colonies. Bth. The Promoters, in placing the foregoing facts before the people of this Colony, desire to point out the very great disadvantages that colonists are sure to labor under by lending — or rather giving — such large sums of money as stated above to foreign Banks, to be lent back to the people here at very high rates of interest, and on most arbitrary conditions. They therefore have no hesitation in 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 moßt effectually destroy the risk of future monetary disturbances, which they have had on more than one occasion to deplore in the 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 first issue of 200,000 Shares shall be conducted by Committees, to be appointed severally in the chief City in each Province; and no Shares will be given or reserved to the Promoters ; but each member of the Provisional Committee is willing to become a subscriber for the number of Shares standing opposite to his name. 10th. It is proposed at the issue of Shares above referred to that 5s per Share be paid on Application ; that 10s. per Share be paid on Allotment ; that a Call of ss. per Share be made and payable two months after Allotment ; that a Second Call of ss. per Share be made and payable four months after Allotment ; and that a Third Call of ss. per Share be made and payable six mouths after Allotment — making together 30s. paid up per Share. No further Call to be made within twelve months of the Bank first commencing business in Dunedin ; after which f uture Calk will not exceed ss. per Share, nor be made at shorter intervals than three months between each Call. 11th. The Act of Incorporation for this Bank will be framed as to limit the liability of the Shareholders to twice amount of their shares, the same as the other Banks. 12th. As a thoroughly Colonial Institution, the Promoters have much pleasure in strongly recommending The Colonial Bank op New Zealand to the support of all Colonists having the real welfare 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 will also increase, and be more and more appreciated, both as an investment for the savings of the people, and as a useful Bank. Judging from the influence and sound experience possessed by the promoting Members of Committee, it is certain that no similar Institution has ever yet been launched in the Southern Hemisphere under better auspices. Applications for Shares will now be received at the Temporary Offices of the Bank, Highstreet, (late Club), where forms of application and full information can be obtained ; or, from Wm. Hayes, Esq., Lawrence.
