The greatly increasing population, the commerce, the pastoral,
and agricultural riches of the colonies of New South 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 as may appear
expedient.
It has therefore been proposed to form a new banking association,
to be entitled the Royal Australian Banking and Gold Importing
Company, to be incorporated under a Royal Charter.
The capital to be 250,000/., M 50,0r0 shares of 51. each,
on which a deposit of I/. each shall be paid, and no further call to be
made until the Royal Charter shall have been obtained, and not
then, except by a resolution 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 eubcoribcd, the
Royal Charter harrnten applitd for, and is tinder consideratiorrof
the Board of Trade, and the Deed of Settlement will be completed
when the remaining shares are subscribed, and the deposit of 1/.
per share paid to the bankers.

only from the country, which must be made on or before
