The greatly increasing population, the commerce, the pastoral,
and agricultural riches of the colonies of New Sonta Wales and Vic-
toria, the great success of the banks already established in Sydney,
Melbourne, and Geelong, together-with the extraordinary yield of
.the gold mines of these colonies, justly warrant the establishment o f
,a New Australian Bank, with branches in such towns es may appear
expedient.
It has therefore beep proposed to form a new banking association,
to be entitled the Royal Australian Banking and
Gold Importing
Company, to be incorporated tinder a Royal Charter.
The capital to be 250,0001.. in 50,000 shares of 51. each,
on which a deposit of IL each shall be paid,and
made until the Royal Charter" shall have been obtained, and not
then, except by a retolution agreed to by a majority at a general
meeting of Shareholders, to be called together for that purpose, by
three regular advertisements in the " Times," and three other Lon-
don daily newspapers.
The proposed Company intend to establish an office in London
for the purpose of regulating and directing the general affairs of
the Company, and to open a Bank at Sydney, with branches at
Melbourne, and, if expedient, at Geelong, and other populous towns.
The bank and the branches to carry on the ordinary business of
banking by discounting bills, issuing notes under the provisions granted
by Charter, advancing money on undoubted security, and also
.on consignment of gold ore and refined gold to the Company in
London; and purchasing gold in the colonies of New South Wales
and Victoria, together with the transaction of such other business
as may be safely and legitimately conducted by a Bank. To avoid
losses by fraud or neglect of duty, the managers, and all persons ap-
pointed by the Bank, will have to give competent security in England
for their fidelity and good conduct in those colonies.
A great part of the above capital being already subscribed, the
Royal Charter has been applieo fort and is under consideration of
the Board of Trade, and the Deed of Settlement will be completed
when the remaining shares are suuooriii.d, was tu. to.
