The halt-yearly meeting of tlio Hank of Now Zealand was held at the Company's otliees this day, and I.j per cent for the hair-year was declared, the reserve fund bting i aised to tlio respectable .sum of ,C 100,000. The judicious management of the business of this IJnnk (notwithstanding the monetary depression anil crisis that some provinces of this colonv'huve had to pass through), together with the great "public confiilencc I it maintains, and its hitherto commercial success is a guarantee that the shares are amongst the most paying investments of any undertakings of the same kind.
