tPHtftSPECTUS of the NEW ZEALAND jL emigration association. We, the undersigned, do hereby agree to form ourselves into on Association under the above name, for the purpose of promoting emigration from New Zealand to one or other of the Fegee Islands, or any other island in the Pacific that may be adapted for the settlement of Europeans. The preference is in the first place to be given to the Fegee Islands, on account of their proximity to New Zealand, as well as on account of the salubrity of the climate, and the great fertility of the soil, which yields abundantly all the rich and valuable productions of tropical countries, such as the sugar cane, cotton, coffee, cocoa-nut, and bread-fruit tree, together with the orange, melon, guava, citron, andolive, and various other fruits and vegetables too numerous to be mentioned. The Fegee Islands are also, from their central position in the southern hemisphere, admirably adapted for becoming a most valuable commercial depdt, being, as they are, equi-dUtant from India and America, and contiguous to the colonies of New Holland. They have also the advantage of producing sandal wood and bechelemu in great abundance, both of which are articles of much value in the Chinese market. The following terms and conditions shall be embodied in a deed of settlement of the Association, vis.': — 1 . That the capital stock of the Association shall consist of j£lo,ooo, in four hundred shares of each. 2. That ten directors be appointed to manage the affairs of the Association, so soon as one hundred snares are subscribed.

That the Association cannot be dissolved without the consent of two-thirds of the shareholders in number and value, and at a general meeting called for the purpose at three months' public notice. 5. That the directors shall at any time call special general meetings, at the request of one-fourth of the number of actual shareholders. 6. That an instalment of jfflO per share be paid to the directors or treasurer of the Association, so soon aa the same shall have been appointed ; and that jffl per share be paid to the committee, by every person subscribing his name to this document. 7. TEat no further call can be made for a larger sum than j65 per share at one time, and that three months' notice be given of such call by the directors of the Association. 8. That as soon as the paid-up capital 'fit the Association shall amount to j£2,000, an agent shall proceed to the Fegee Islands, with the means of purchasing an island or islands, containing not less than one hundred thousand acres, and containing one or more large and commodious harbours. 9. That no individual shall hold more than eight shares, directly or indirectly, and that no shares can Be sold or transferred, without giving the first offer to the directors. 10. That any person refusing to pay any additional calls made by the directors, shall forthwith forfeit his share or shares upon such refusal. U.

That the directors of the Association shall have for the first three years the power of forming and enforcing all local and general laws for the government of the settlement. That the settlers shall appoint ten of their own number to unite with the directors for forming and carrying out such -local laws as may be necessary for the government, whose voice shall, in all local matters, be equal to that of the directors, and who shall sit in common council with the directors for that purpose. 19.
