Waedbop, Esq., Shortland-street. ■ The rapidly increasing' importance of the meroan* . tile interests in the group of islands comprised in the Kingdom of Fiji, and the absence of any reliable; medium of exchange in that territory, have suggested the formation of this Company, which, it is intended, ■■ shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and under- • take commercial' agency business) by indenting t goods, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments.' Notwithstanding the difficulties which the early settlers in these Islands have encountered, the pro* -' gress made in the development of Commerce.has been very satisfactory,—the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. The capabilities ■ of the Islands for-sugar and cotton cultivation are of the very highest description, and, with the introduo* tion of capital and the means: afforded to p'anten . . to turn their produce to acoount, there can be no " doubt that the above interests will be rerj speedily and largely increased. Already tracts of oountrj have been secured by planters from other sugar* producing countries, the climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages. The European population is already considerable, | and-rapidly increasing; and.the general desire- to support law and order, and the partial recognition of the Government by Great Britain, afford a reasonable/ ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may br undertaken with safety, .and with tbe same recourse ' , aa in more settled communities; ' "-■'-' Important concessions, including an exclusive right -. to issue bank notes and to transact-all Government' '. . business, are under offer to the Company.; and, from - data furnished to the promoters, it lis' believed that a very satisfactory return on the capital to' ba invested will be ensured. - The scope of the Company's operations will hot be confined to Fiji, but will embrace the numerous groups of islands in the Pacific, as enoouragement may from to time offer. ,-■•-; , It is believed -that a paid-up Capital of £50,000 will, for a time, amply provide for the current require* ments of the Company, the unpaid Capital remaining as a basis for credit with its Agents..
