Prospectus. Deposit. Circulation. Total. Union Bank of Australia ... £870,000 £123,-125 £093,125 Bank of Non' South Wales 500,000 10-1,8-19 001,819 Bank of Australasia ... 193,000 38,902 231,902 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 bo 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 a largo sum of money as stated above to foreign Banks, to be lent back to tile people here at very high rates of interest, and on more 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 most effectually destroy tiro risk in future monetary disturbances, which they have had on more than one occasion to deplore in the past, brought about solely by some crisis that lias 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 bo airpointed severally in tiro chief city in eacli Province ; and no Shares will be given or reserved to tire Promoters ; but oacli member of tire Pro visional Committee is willing to become a subscriber tor tiro number of Shaves standing opposite to his name/ 10th. It is proposed at the issue of Shares above referred to that 5s per Shave be paid on Application; that 10s per share he paid on allotment; that a Call of 5s per Share be made and payable two months after Allotment; that a Second Call of ys per Share be made and payable four months after allotment ; and that a Third Call of 5s per Shave be made and payable six months after Allotment—making together 30s paid up per Share. No further Call to bo made within twelve months of the Bank first commencing business in Dunedin ; after which future Calls will not exceed 5s per Share, nor be made at shorter intervals than three mouths between each Call. 11th. The Act of Incorporation for this Bank will be so framed as to limit the liability of the Shareholders to twice the 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 Colon!al Bank of New Zealand” to the support of all Colonists having tire 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 bo moi'e 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 lias ever yet been launched in the Southern Hemisphere under better auspices. A deputation of Provincial Directors will visit Wellington in a few days for the purpose of co-operating with a local Provisional Committee. Meantime forms of application for Shares may be obtained, and applications may ho lodged with tire Union Bank of Australia and tlie Bank of Australasia. FORM OP APPLICATION POB SHAKES. Date 187-1.
