ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The Gold Fields of Otago, oi ened in 1861, gave New Zea-
land an impulse, which bids fair to place it amongst the fore-
most of the British Colonies.
For the year 1855. the total Exports and Imports -
of New Zealand were
For the year 1861
For the year 1861
For the three quarters ending 30th Sept., 1862
The value of GOLD exported from 0 FAG° alone was—
In 18'11 £727,318
In 1862 1,510,708
The latest accounts show that the same ratio of increase is
being maintained. '1 ho following le an extract from the
Melbourne correspondent of " The Times," published in
that paper on the 13th April, 1863 :—The weekly pro ruction
(of Gold) in the province of Otago ranges from 12,000 to 15,000
ounces, and new fields are opening out in all directions "
The rapid increase in the export of WOOL from NEW
ZEAL AND is remarkable :
In 1855, it was 1,447,200 lbs.
In 1858, „
In 1861, „
In 1862, „

Not withstanding these facts thereis but one Bank especially
est ,blishcd for New Zealand (having i s Head Office at Auck-
land), with a paid up capital of £250,000 ; and the only other
banking facilities are derived from mere Branches and Agen-
cies of Institutions whose chief business is in Australia, where
their capital is mostly em ,loyed.
The Bank of New Ze iland (established in 1861) declared, in
the first year of its existence a dividend at the rate of 8 per
cent. ; but its actual net profit for the year was much larger.
Th 3 Head Office will be in London, the Chief Branch at
DUNEDIN (OTAGO), end Branches or Agencies will be
established at set3h other settlements as the air, ctors may
from imr ti time deem advisable.
