B.inkehs : The Union Bank of Australia. The Bank of Australasia. Ist. The groat want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colony of Mew 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 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 Mew 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; but in no instance will any of the remaining shares bo offered for sale out of the Colony without having been first offered to tlie Colonial holders, nor will any but a New Zealand Register be kept. ffrd. It is Intended that the Head Office of the Bank shall be in Dunedin, and that a General Manager of high professional standing shall be appointed to guide the operations of’the Bank ; and also that a Board of qualified Directors shall be elected from among the Committee to advise with the General iVlanaand generally watch the interests of the whole Institution. 4th. As soon as a sufficient number of Shares shall have been applied for to warrant the commencement of business, the Head ' Office will be opened in Dunedin, in suitable Premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branches will gradually bo opened in tbe Chief Centres of Settlement throughout the Colony. sth.

'The Mercantile, 'Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural, Mining, Artiznn, anil Laboring Classes will each have fair treatment and support from the Colonial Bank. To the Alining Interest, special attention will, bo given, with a desire to acquire for the Miners the Mint value of their Gold, whether in large or small quantities, and until such value can bo ascertained, a liberal advance will be made upon any gold deposited for tbe purpose of coin*l°(ith. It is not intended by the Promoters that this Bank 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. 7th. The amount of Now Zealand inonoy m the hands of the three Banks from Australia trading in the Colony on tho -list December last, as shown by their several returns furnished to the Government, appear thus, without giving odd numbers; —
