By the lest advises received from New South Wales,
we learn that some of the principal inhabitants of
that settlement, have lately formed themselves into
• banking company, sod have obtained for that par.
pose, from Governor-General Macqua►ie, a charter
of incorporation with the accustomed rights, privi-
leges, and immunities, usually bestowed upon such a
body. In a series of Resolutions, published in the
official Gaulle of that Colony, they state that their
fended capital must not be less than 9.0,0001. to be
. raised in transferable shares of 501. each, and the
general object sad business of the bank to be,'to mita-
blitth a sterling currency es the circulating medium,
for the sure of the Colony, and to advance, upon due
• Interest, and the credit of the bank, pecuniary as-
sistance to the colouisl trader, egrittelturalist, and
wittier, as likewise to afford a safe depositary of
..imeroty comittetl to its security end charge.
A measure of this kind, established upon a solid
foundation, and conducted open fair cud equitable
regulations, has long been a desiderata• in that Co.
luny; the circulating medium of which has for the
greater part, consisted hitherto of the promissory
notes of individuals, fluctuating in their valve, sub-
ject to continual forgeries, and frequently, from the
unprincipled conduct of the issuers, of no more worth
than waste paper.
