PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE.
William Allen, Esq. Rowland Hill, Esq.
C. H. Clay, Esq. I George Whitcomb, Esq.
BANKEas—Messrs. Wright and Co., Covent-garden ; Messrs.
Currie, Cornhill.
This Company has been formed chiefly for the purpose of ad-
vancing Sums of Money on the Security of Landed and other Real
Property, in the several Colonies and Settlements of Australasia, in
a manner well calculated to prove beneficial to the Colonists, and
extremely advantageous to its Proprietors.
The Colonial Banks are precluded, by their Deeds of Settlement,
and by local Ordinances, from the granting of such Advances, and
much other valuable Money Business, and the current rate of Inte-
rest now charged by individuals, upon Advances on Real Securities,
in the Australasian Colonies, is from Ten to Twenty per Cent.
The principal operations of the Company will be the granting of
Advances upon the Mortgage of Landed Property—upon the depo-
sit of Title Deeds and Warrants of Merchandise in Bond, and
upon other bona-fide and really tangible Securities generally; but
much other safe and profitable business may also be transacted by
the Company, which it is unnecessary to particularise here.
The affairs and business of the Society will be conducted under
the superintendence of a Board of Directors, to be elected from the
Shareholders in London, and in the Colonies by Agents, and other
persons duly qualified, who will be appointed by the said Board ;
and, in every arrangement, the strictest regard will be paid to
economy.
The Shares to be comprised in the First Series, are to be paid
up as follows, viz.:-
101. per Share at the time of subscribing.
101. ditto in Three Months from that date.
10/. ditto in Six do. do.
And 10/. ditto in Nine do. do.
And the Shares of the Second and Third Series will be first
offered, proportionately and at par, to the Shareholders of the
Company.
Applications for Shares, until the 20th inst., and other commu-
nications respecting the Company, may be addressed, post paid, to
the Manager, at Messrs. Wright and Co.'s, No. 6, Henrietta.

The Additions by way of Bonus, at 31st of December, 1331, being
the second periodical Investigation, may be judged of from the
following table, viz.:—

O I £7,692 8 9

These additions are stated for the sake of distinctness, as in refer-
ence to a Policy of 5,0001., being the maximum risk taken on anY
single life. The results, for Policies, of smaller amount, are pre-
cisely proportional; thus, for 2,5001. Policies, they are one-half,
and for 1,0001. Policies, one-fifth of the above amount, and so on.
During the early years of the Society, no risks so large as 50°1'
were taken on single lives, although now, and for many years past,
they have been freely taken on select lives.
No Life Office in Great Britain, since the EQUITABLE •f
LONDON enacted its restricting Bye-Law of 1816, has been ena-
bled to afford equal advantages to the Assured.
Its Funds and Revenues are in a state of the most rapid increase.
