The Committee have purchased one thousand acres of freehold
land ox the Black Creek, in the county of Northumberland, in
Hunter-River district, on extremely advantageous terms, a very
considerable portion of the purchase money being paid in shares,
which are to be locked up for .at least six months. This valuable
property is situated on the slope of a ridge of mountains known to
abound with quartz of a crystalline and compact transition strata.
The detritus of these rocks form the auriferous alluvial deposits.

The land thus acquired by the Committee is nearly in the centre of
the district marked yellow in Mr. Wyld's map, as indicating the dis-
covery of gold.
The property being freehold will be absolutely vested in fee simple
in Trustees ter the Company. Full powers have been dispatched to
the Agents of the Company in the Colony, and directions to secure
leases of such otber portions of the gold country, whether in Sydney
or Port Philip, as are well known to be most highly profitable for
mining purposes.
The Directors have determined to dispatch to their estate fully
qualified scientific mineralogists, that the most minute inquiry and
examination may take place, and no valuable ore, mineral, or gem
be cast away.
The following extracts are given from notices of this Company in
various papers:—

of this company is now being daily verified. We find their shareS

The greatly increasing pDpulation, 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 is proposed to be 250,0001., in 50,0L0 Shares of 51. each,
on which a deposit of IL 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 object of the proposed Bank is to establish an office in Lon-
don for the purpose,of regulating and directing the general affairs
of the Company. A Bank will be established 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 hills, issuing
notes under the provisions granted by Charter, in proportion to the
paid-up capital, advancing money on undoubted security, and also
on consignment of gold ore and refined gold to the Company in
London; and ptirchasing 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 applied for, and is under consideration of
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.
The combined advantages of banking and gold purchasing are evi-

gold, ,for which_ the. bank would afford a convenient and secure
place of deposit, as well as a market for its disposal, involving a
proportionate increase of trading operations and banking accommo-
dation. The shares of the banks already established in Australia
arc now at high premiums, in one instance (the Union Bank Shares)
80 per cent.
Secondly,—By the purchase of gold in those colonies by a bank
at about 645. per ounce, with a market value here of about 80s., a
profit is shown of nearly 25 per cent. ; and looking at the enormous
quantity of the precious metal, this business would appear to be un-
limited, while the recent facilities of a regular steam-packet inter-
course, bona by the way of the Cape of Good Hope, by way of
Egypt, and shortly by way of Panama, will increase the profits on
the capital by enabling the Company to make frequent importations
of gold during the year.
Such are the sound and practical a lvantages which are submitted
by the Directors to the public, and which they will have the
greatest satisfaction, both AS Directors and Shareholders, of
promptly carrying into execution, in the full confidence that this
Company will prove one of the most secure and profitable invest-
ments of the day.
