Capital, 400,000/. in 4,000 Shares of 1001. each.

Deposit, 101. per Share.
This Company has been formed for the purpose if employing
capital in the purchase and and re-sale of lands in New Zea-
land, and the promotion of emigration to that country.
A description of these Islands as a field for British coloniza-
tion, has been rendered unnecessary by the labours of the New
Zealand Association of 1837, who collected and dissemi-
nated very, ample information on, the subject. The sole
aim of that Society was to induce the Legislature to apply te
New. Zealand the peculiar system of colonization which has
proved so eminently successful in South Australia, and te make
provision for guarding the native inhabitants from the evils to
which they have hitherto been exposed by their intercourse
with Europeans of every class. Her Majesty's Government,
however, objected to all legislation for these ends, except on one
condition, to which the Society coald not assent. The pro-
posed condition was, that the 'Society, which had excluded from
its objects all speculation for private gain, should become a
joint-stock eornpaiy, and engage in undertakings with a view
to profit. This condition was declined, as being 4it variance
with the declared character of that Society ; and the result has
been the formation of the present Company, in-a form consist-
ent with the condition thus required by her Majesty's Govern-
ment.
The purchase and improvement of wastelands in New Zea-
land has been already carried on to a meat extent, and with
much advantage by missionaries and others, who have settled
in the country, as well as by persons residing in the adjacent
Australian Colonies; and such an operation upon a large scale
is the proposed object of the New Zealand Land Company.
The attention and business of the Company will be confined
to the purchase of tracts of land—the promotion of emigration
to those tracts directly from the United Kingdom—the laying
out of settlements and towns in the most favourable situations—
and the gradual re-sale of such lands according to the value
bestowed upon them by emigration and settlement. It is also
proposed that, to facilitate the transmission of capital between
England and New Zealand, the Company shall act as agents,
for that purpose only.
Such an undertaking affords peculiar advantages to the em-
ployers of a large combined capital, and is further suitable to a
Company, inasmuch as it can neither impede individual enter-
prise, nor is liable to the competition of individuals, and is
capable of being managed at little expense for agency, and upon
a system of fixed routine.
Very extensive tracts of most fertile land in situations highly
favourable both for agricultural and commercial settlements,
have been already purchased and secured for the purposes of,
this Company. And an expedition has also been fitted out and
dispatched for surveying the coasts of New Zealand, making
purchases of lands in the most eligible spots, and preparing for
the arrival of a large body of settlers, whom it is propose to
establish on the Company's lands during the present year.
These important purchases, and the fitting out of the preli-
minary expedition (including the purchase and equipment of a
fine vessel of 400 tons), have been effected, at a considerable
outlay, by parties to whom 600 paid-up shares have conse-
quently been assigned for a transfer of their interests.
Upon the remaining 3,400 shares, a call of 101. per share,
(in addition to the deposit,), will be made at the discretion of
the Directors, with no less than one month's notice ; and all
further calls will be made at intervals of not less than three
months between each call, and of which one month's notice
will be given ; and no call, at any one time, will exceed 101.
per share.
The Directors are to have the entire management and con-
troul of the funds, formation, proceedings, and affairs of the
Company, and are empowered to enter into any arrangemen's
whatever which they may consider conducive to the interests of
this undertaking—to prepare a Deed of Settlement for the ma-
nagement of the Company, and to take any steps that may be
thought proper relative to an Act of Parliament or a Charter in
aid of their plans, application for which will be made with the
least possible delay—and generally to adopt such measures and
proceedings with reference to the grants, and disposal of shares,
or otherwise, as they shall consider expedient.
The Shares in the first instance will be issued in scrip re-
ceipts, npon which will be indorsed the principal laws and re-
gulations by which the Company is to be governed until a
Deed of Settlement shall hive been entered into, or an Act if
Parliament have been obtained.

Further information on every point connected with the Com-
pany may be obtained from the Secretary, and applications- for
shares must be made to the Bankers, in the following form.
