Prospectus. 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 be convenient for the good of commerce in Victoria or New South Wales ; or for the beneficial regulation of their exchange operations in those Colonics. Sth, The Promoters, in placing the foregoingfacts 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 large sum of money as stated above to foreign Banks, to be lent back to the 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- the risk in future | monetary disturbances, which they have had on more than 0110 occasion to deplore in the past, brought about solely by sonic crisis that has 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 bo conducted by Committees, to be ap- ! pointed severally in the chief city in each I Province ; and no Shares will bo given or reserved to the Promoters ; but each member of the Provisional Committee is willing to become 1 a subscriber for the number of Shares standing opposite to his name. * 10th. It is proposed at the issue of Shares above referred to that 5s per Share be paid on Application ; that 10s per share be paid on allotment ; that a Call of 5s per Share be made and payable two months after Allotment; that a Second Call of 5s per Share be made and payable four months after allotment; and that a Third Call of 5s per Share 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 throe months between each Call. I 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 Colonial Bank of New Zealand” to the support of all Colonists having the 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 be more 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 at is certain that no similar institution has over 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 be lodged with the Union Bank of Australia and the Bank of Australasia.
