It will be the chief aim of the Promo;tcrßof t,his Bank to aid and conserve the interests of the whole community in this Colony. The Mercantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural, Mining, Artisan, and Labjouribg classes will each have fail- treatment an'd suppoft'frpm the Colonial Bank. To the mining interest special attention 'will he given, with a desire to acquire for the Miners tho Mint value of their gold, whether in large or small ; quantities, ami umil such valuo can bo ascorl' •fanned a liberal advance will ho inado upon any gold deposited for the purposo ofcoinugo.' 1 6th. It is not intended by the Promoters "that this J?aak shall purchases Gold, but. merely bivprepaved to make advances upon it until realise^ in-ihe game manner that it will bo ready (o do upon Wool, Grain, or other produce. — 7fch. The amounts of Few Zealand Mon^y in , the hands .of the three Banka • from Australia trading in the Colony on the Slsfc December lust, as" shewn by :-their several furnished, to tho Government, appear thus, without giving odd numbers :—

\\ Shewing a, total of ... £1,890,230 or ncirly two millions of money belonging to '^colonists entrusted to Boards of Directors in .'Melbourne op Sydney to control or manipulate a-? ifc may pledge their tastes; or as it <jmn,T be convenient for tho good of commerce .in Victoria or New South Wales ; or for the benefiml regulation of their exchange opera tions in those Colonies.

v Bth. The Promoters, in placing the foregoing fac's before the people of this Colony 1 desire to point out tho very great disadvan- ■ tßgos that colonisfs are sure to labor under by 'lending?—or rather.giving—such a large sum ;of money.,as i'tated above to foreign Banks,- to (be lent back to the people here at very high 'rates of interest, and on most arbitrary conI ditions. They thereforejtiave no hesitation in ; suggesting the prudence and wisdom of the • colonists keeping within their own domain the •absolyte^control,pf their own moneys ;, r as by sowing theyS will most effectually destroy the risk of future monetary disturbances, whioli they have had on more than,one odcasion to ■deplore in the past, brought about solely by lome crisis thathas 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 0f^200,000 shares shall be conducted by committees, to be appointed severally in the chief city of each province, and no shares will be given or reserved to the promoters; but each member of the Provisional Committee is willing to become »• subscriber for- the niunber of Bhares standing'opposite his name.* --A : ' ; 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 53 per shap? be made and payable two months afte* ;i||#3;ment; that a second call of 5s per al)pi§ be wade and payable four months afflif allotment; v&nd= th^t r a third call of ss. per share be madQ^nfl payable sis.rnonths after allotment —-ihakihg t!bgether'3os paifl'up per sh^re. No further call to be made within twelve months of the Bank fifsfi 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 Sank,yvilL.be so framed as to limit the liability of the shareholders to twice thJB amount of their shares, the same as the other Banks. 12th. As a thoroughly colonial institution, the promotevs have much pleasure in strongly recommending j'J The Cpi9jfi.il. Bank op New Zbaianb "'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 developmeiat of the colony proceeds, its usefulness will also increase, and be more and more appreciated, both as an investment for tha savings of : the people, and as a useful Bank. Judging froni the influencl and experience possessed by tho promoting members of committee, it is certain that no similar institution lias ever yet been launched in the Southern Heijiisphare under better auspices. A depute (ion of Provisional Direcl-ors will visit Auckland in a few days for the purpose of co-operating with a local Provisional Committee^ 'Meantime fortas of application for shares may be obtained, and applications may be lodged with the Union Bank of Australia and Bank of Australasia.
