The extraordinary progress which the Australasian. Colonies
have md, within the last few years, the continued flow of emi-
gration towards them, together with the high value of money
there, call for an increased number of establishments of this de-
icriptien, and the prosperous condition of the Banks already in
Operation is a suffieient guarantee that under prudent manage-
Mont this Investment must prove a most profitable and secure
quell" the Shareholders, as high rates of interest are obtained
with perfect security in a country where, from well ascertained
data, Capital is improving at rates varying from 50 to 75 per
Cent. per annum.
The following Extract from the Official Share List of February
4th, 1840, shows the present value of Stock in Two of the

Nor can the prosperity of Banking operations connected with
those Colonies bo better illustrated than by reference to the
satisfactory Report of the Directors of the Union Bank of
Australia, presented to the Proprietors at their General Meet-
jag, On the 3d of February, and by the folio ming extract from
the Rev. Henry Carmichael's Pamphlet on New South Wales,
wherein he observes—" There are at present in Sydney three
Joint Stock Banking Companies in operation, with a paid-up
capital of ablut 80,0001. each ; which divide a profit :,nnually
e‘f. from 20 to 25 per cent. His Excellency Sir James Stirling
also, in his recent work on Western Australia, says, in allusion
to the Western Bank of Australia, " The second half-year !eft
▪ clear profit over the expenditure of 14 and a half per cent.,
which, after setting aside one-fifth as an accumulating fund,
according t• an existing rule, enabled the Directors to declare a
ißend of 11 and a half per cent. on the paid-up capital ;at
the close of the year no dishonoured bill remaining on hand, nor
had the Solicitor of the Bank to commence a single suit for the
recovery of a debt due to it."
f Directors have for some time been making arrangements
,Qr nnmediately carrying into effect the objects of the Com-
P'at'Y z and in order to advance the influence of the Bank in the
".olonies, they have reserved a portion of the shares for distri-
bution there.

in the Colonies, it has been thought inexpedient to
f " a numerous Board of Directors in Loudon : it has there-
ore been determined that the number shall not at any time

."
of the Bank, a complete system of superin.endence is
I

trrectors to commence business immediately. They have

wish to become bona fide proprietors, not to entertain any
,▪ PPileation unless made in the printed forms provided by them
for that purpose, and accompanied by a payment of 21. upon
each share applied for, the Directors reserving to themselves,
at the time of appropriation, the right to reject or comply with
Tech application, either in whole or in part, the money to he
urned if the application be rejected, and to be placed to the
credit of the party in respect of the shares allotted to him
if Occepted.
For the guidance of those who may wish to become proprie-
it'll, it may be mentioned, that it is not in contemplation to
call up more than 101. per share for the next twelve months.
The Directors have postponed filling up the London Board
10 the full number of ten, irs order to give them the opportunity
of selecting influential proprietors, whose assistance and co-
operation they may think it advisable to secure for the interests
of the concern ; power is reserved to them for that purpose.
and they are also authorized to complete all other arrangements
neeessary for putting the Company into immediate operation.
