THE NEW ZEALAND BANK.
-I he Bank of Xew Zealand h-is become the possessor of the largest nugget yet found on our Gold Fields. It is a pretty specimen I and worthy of an examination. We understand the Manager, Mr. La:kworthy intends to forward it to Auckland, but in the meantime will exhibit it to any who may be curious m the matter. Would this not "hi! a good contribution to the Great Exhibition ? The New Zealand Br.nk opens on Monday first,^ for business under most favourable auspices. The Otago shareholders are a numerous body—the <-hnre list varying from 5 shares to 1500. Double ihe numher of shares have been applied for, and it is a pity that the Bank cannot supply the demand." The assurance of support "from a large body of colonists and merchants must be very gratifying to the promoters of this national institution. In Auckland we understand the success is great, most of the business of the capital of New Zealand passing through their hands. His Excellency Sir George Gm' takes a great interest in the Bank, and has become a shareholder, and opened his account there.
