The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colony of New Zealand having 'been long felt, it lias been determined by the Provisional Committee to supply the same by placing before the public the present carefully considered scheme, with the full confidence that it will meet with very general support. 2nd. As a first step, it is proposed to offer to the people of this Colony one half of the nominal capital or 200,000 shares, in fair proportions to each of the Provinces throughout Now Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of each Province, reserving tin; other half to be disposed of hereafter, as the rapid progress of the Colony may demand and shareholders may decide ; hut in no instance will any of the remaining shares be offered for sale out of the Colony without having been first offered to the Colonial holders, nor will any hut a New Zealand Register be kept. 3rd.

(Jth. It is not intended by the Promoters that this Bank shall purchase Gold, but merely he prepared to mako advances upon it until realised, in the same manner that it will bo ready to do upon wool, grain, or other produce. 7th. The amount of New Zealand money in the hands of the three Banka from Australia trading in the Colony on the 31st December last, as shown by their several returns furnished to the Government, appear thus, with- ’ out giving odd numbers; —
