THE following Correspondence is published for general information.
I. N. WATT,
Provincial Secretary.
Union Bank of Australia,
Wellington, 21st December, 1857.
Sir,—Referring to letter I had the honor to address to you on 16th ultimo in reply to your inquiry as to the terms on which this Bank would be willing to advance two thousand three hundred pounds (£2,300) to the New Plymouth Provincial Government on the security of Debentures authorised by an Ordinance passed by the Provincial Council, intituled the "Loan Ordinance, 1857"; I have now the pleasure to acquaint you that the Bank will be willing either to undertake the negotiation of the Loan in question by sale of the Debentures at a charge of 1 per cent. commission, which charge will cover all cost of placing the proceeds of such sale here at the disposal of the Government; or, should the repayment of the Loan be practicable within a reasonable period, the Bank would be desirous of meeting the views of the Government by advancing the sum required on Cash Credit or Overdrawn Account at the rate of 8 per cent., per annum, secured by said Debentures.
In the event of the latter mode being preferred, I should feel obliged by your informing me of the period within which the advance would probably be liquidated—or if by instalments, in what sums? and at what intervals?
I have, &c.,
A. C. McDONALD,
Manager.
I. Newton Watt, Esq.,
Provincial Secretary, New Plymouth.

Sir,—I have delayed replying to your letter of the 21st December last in order that the Superintendent before accepting either of your offers might lay them before the Provincial Council, and I have now the honor by his direction to inform you that the Provincial Government will accept your offer of the Cash Credit or overdrawn account at the rate of 8 per cent., per annum,
