Baxkeus : The Union Bank of Australia. ■ The Bank of Australasia. Ist. The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colony of New Zealand having been long felt, it has 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 moot 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 New Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of each Province, reserving the 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 bo offered "for sale out of the Colony without having been first offered to the Colonial holders, nor will any but a New Zealand Eegister be kept. .3rd.

It is not intended by the Promoters that this Banlc shall purchase Gold, but merely be prepared to make advances upon it until realised, in the same manner that it will be ready to do upon wool, grain, or other 'produce. 7tii. The amount of Now Zealand money in the hands of the three Banks from Australia trading iu the Colony on the 31st December last, as shown by their several returns furnished to the Government, appear thus, without giving odd numbers; —
