De Tivoli, Esq. TEMPORARY OFFICES. 7, Bank-buildings, Lothbury, E.C. PROSPECTUS. The " London and Venezue'a Bank" has for its proposed operations a ground unoccupied. and is most urgently re quired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for iorue months, and the project has been submitted to the Judgment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and has met with their unvalified approval. Support is promised In highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured that she privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by the Government. Messrs. Carl Hahn and G. Servadio, Directors and Repre .entatives of the Proprietors in the "Bank of Caracas," have joined the Board, and have und ertaken, on the establishment of th e "London ana Venezuela Bank," to close their esta blishment, a,d to transfer their business to the present Company. The banking I aciliti es whieti Caracas has hitherto Possessed have been very limited, but the fast that the Bank of Caracas has - despite its restricted means—earned a net profit exceeding 3) rer cent, per annum, leaves no doubt that the present undertaking will result in complete success. The following, published by Messrs. Matheson and Co., while inviting tenders for the Venezuelan Loan in June last, will confirm the above statements : " At present there is almost an entire absence of banking accommodation inVenezuela. Possessed of every advantage of 91imAe and soil, within sixteen days' sail of England, the existing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to com merce of the country, and to the increasing production and rapidly extending exports of its coffee, cocoa cottOn hides, &c. * * * ' The advantages of this Institution will be obvious to all either politically or financially interested in the prosperity of Venezuela, and as the rates of interest range from 10 to 15 per cent. per annum, the profits may be expected to be consi derable." It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in creased and increasing demand for capital for the cultivation of cotton, which is now being . exported to England in large quantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much higher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson, The want of an " Exchange Bank" in Venezuela oc:asions the utmost inconvenience and difficulty in buying and selling foreign bills, and laTge sums are made by private individuals, who, having no direct interest in drawing or remitting, must be Induced to do either one or the other, by the offer of tempt ing profits. The "London and Venezuelan Bank" will sup ply this want, and inasmuch as returns can be nvi de with far greater r Tidity from Venezuela than from India, where the introduction of banking facilities of a like nature has been found extremely profitable, It is certain that this branch of the proposed business must ba still more remu ne-ative. The p -oduct a of Venezuela are coffee, cocoa, cotton, tobacco, bides, indigo, dividivi, and dye stuffs, with an immense variety of others, less known, but equally valuable. Its coffee is of' the finest quality, and its cocoa is unequalled. On the now all important article "cotton," the following, from a lead flg, article in the `• Daily Telegraph" of the lath Janu ary, 18a:; will be read with interest, particularly in connec tion 'with ban' ing and capit 1:—" From Venezuela the qua lity is good and uSetu . , and some even of the wild plant is described by competent judges as being like midd ing Orleans. Parcels imperfectly ginned have been recently sold in the Liverpool market at 2s. and 2s. id. per lb. Wages are low, and a large increase in the cultivation is fully expected; but the great want is capit In some parts of the country coal is found cropping out on the surface of the ground within a few yards of the sea, and the mineral wealth of Venezuela is well known to be very large. This has been demonstrated by assays of many spe cimens of gold, silver, copper, and lead which were shown in the late Exhib.tien. The principal control of the " London and Venezuela Bank" will be vested in the Board of Directors in England. They will select a manager of known qualifications in Lon don,. who on his arrival wi 1 have he assistance and advice of the Directors in Caracas and La Gnayra, who are Euro peans of long residence and high standing in the country, and well known in connection with Venezuelan trade and finance. The Directors reserve to themselves the right to allot so soon and in such a manner as they deem expedient.

How to sum up is most difficult, for while public running points to General Peel, Cambuscan, Scottish Chief, and Birch Broom are all said to have been better tried in private than the Two Thousand Guineas winner was in public; then the shrewdest judges think that Paris will beat General Peel over the extra half mile, and others have it that Historian will in turn beat him; and for all this nothing can shake the confidence placed in Coast Guard, Ely, Blair Athol, and Zany greater outsiders even than these. Thus we have so many "good things" to choose between as to be compelled to fall back upon public form ; and as the performances last year of Coast Guard, Histo rian, Cambuscan, and Paris pointed to them as the best, while Lord Glasgow's horse easily beat the best of these very recently, let us have GENERAL PEEL to win the Derby of 1864, with Historian and Ely for two good outsiders likely to get places.

London, May 16,18&4. It now only remains for me to state that I believe the ollowing half dozen— General Peol, Coastguard, Paris, Ely, Strafford, and Baragab, might be safely taken to beat the field; but for those who require a more definite opinion I beg to add that my decided leaning is towards the best form of this year—GENERAL PEEL, and the best of last— COASTGUARD; and my casting vote must be in favour of LO RD GLASGOW, who has as I have above notified, a " second string to his bow" of no mean pretensions. Should the race, however, be destined to fall to an outsider, I believe that BARACIAR will effect the coup. ...-- . .101¢^••• - • ' /1/4. - ' l- ' ''t '-- / r--..• -.' i ' ---... 9 / ,„. t'' /'.- -I' t '" //' '-'.( - ."./. -- ---- „. . . . 4,.

General Peel, Birch Broom, Ely, Cambuscan, and Barsgah will defeat all the public horses, and Valiant and Forager the reputed "flyers" from the dark division. With Strafford, the stable companion of General Peel, slightly nibbled at, and even freely supported at the elev3nth hour, it would still greedy surprise me to find Lord Glasgow with a superior animal to the Two Thousand winner, and in coupling GENERAL PEEL and BIRCH BROOM, it occurs to me that I may have foretold the winner of the blue riband of 1864, and, at the same time, lam strongly inclined to the belief that, if danger spring from an outsider, the moat likely to carry on the charter of this season's " sen sation" scenes are Ely or Forager. VATICINATOR-SUNDAY TIMES. We have carefully watched the market, and analysed the merits of the animals, and can arrive at no other fiat than that BIRCH BROOM will win the Derby, having CAMBUSCAN and GENE• RAL PEEL next to him.

From the above brief but careful analysis it will be gleaned our impression is that Birch Broom, Cambuscan, Coastguard, Ely, Forager, General Peel, Historian, Paris, Princ Arthur, and Scottish Chief are the creme de la creme of the Derby horses; and we are quite confident that Birch Broom, Cambuecan, General Peel, and Scottish Chief will be found the best quartette on the eventful afternoon.

The serious delays which arose in the construction of the ironcased frigate at Chatham during the earlier portion of her progress, in consequence of the contracts failing to supply the iron in sufficient quantities, are likely to be repeated in the case of the iron frigate Bellerophon, now under construction, and already some portions of the works of that frigate are at a standstill from the want of the necessary angle and plate iron from the contractors. Under the new system adopted by the Admiralty the con tracts are made with different firms, instead of only with one establishment, as was the case with the Achilles; but even under the new arrangement the same difficulty ap pears likely to arise in obtaining a constant supply of ma terial from the contractors, as was the case under the for mer system.

In consequence of the large number of Royal Engineers who will be required to embark for India during the ensu ing two months, to supply the place of the late East India Company's Engineers at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, volunteering has been opened by order of the Field Marshal Commanding in Chief, from the companies at head-quar ters as well as those serving at the home stations, and the volunteers selected have arrived at head-quarters, Chatham, from Aldershot Camp, the Curragh Camp, Shorneliff, Ply mouth, Dover, Weymouth, and the Survey districts. Dur ing the period which will elapse before the embarkation of the non-commissioned officers and sappers for India they will undergo a special course of instruction at Chatham in military drawing, surveying, topography, and other branches of military engineering, under the direction of Col. Scott and Capt. Parsons, the instructors at head-quar ters. The non-commissioned officers and men selected for service in India have been for two years and upwards in the corps. and the whole of them have completed their field work instruction at Brompton. The first party of 100 volunteers will leave Chatham for India early in July, and the other detachments will follow shortly afterwards. In consequence of the home companies being greatly reduced in strength by the volunteering a selection is ordered to be made from the men complete in their fieldwork course at Chatham, who are to be sent to augment the companies— viz., tne tar, 7th, lute, tact', 14th, 16th, 17th, 19th, 20th, 23d, and 26th. The Queen of the North, Mr. Tidmarsh commander, ar rived at Spithead yesterday morning from Bombay, having sailed on the 22d January, calling at the Cape on the 19th of March.

The invalids will be conveyed by Government steamer to the Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley, this morning. The ship has made a good voyage home, but much alarm was occasioned shortly after leaving Bombay by the cholera making its appearance on Feb. 1, during which month and March 41 deaths occurred, and it was not until the middle of April that it was consi dered as having entirely disappeared. The sufferers and invalids generally were under the medical treatment of Mr Woodman, the surgeon attached to the ship, no Govermnent medical officer having been sent in charge, and great praise is duo to that gentlemen for his skill and attention at such a trying time.

THE HAMPSTEAD AND CHARING.CROSS RAILWAY COI- PANT AND THE THAMES EMBItNILMENT. The report of the streets committee was presented, stating that they had received a deputation from the Hampstead, North. Western, and Charing-cross Railway Company on the subject of a petition pre sented by the board against the company's bill now before Parliament for making a railway from Haver stock-hill to the Charing-cross Railway, near to the site of the Thames embankment (north), with branches to the London and North-Western and Metropolitan Railways, and to form streets 40 feet wide from Tottenham-court-road to the Strand and the Thames, near the Charing-cross Railway, with a subway for foots-passengers under the Strand ; and also with reference to the present defective me ans of access from Oxford-Street to Charing-cross, i n con sequence of the want of a m ain line of tho roughfare between those points, a nd which would be gr ea tly increased as soon as the railway at Charing-eross came into full operation. The committee considered that the street proposed would be a great,metropo litan improveme nt, and one Which the board would at no distant period be compelled to carry out. Th e y, however, intimated to the deputation that the additional width would entail upon them such ex penses that they must look to the board for a considerable contribution or pelled to abandon their bill. The company had made a propos a l to ma ke the street to the satisfaca Lion of the board andto widen Buckingham-street to 60 feet, on condition of having certain Thames embankment lands valued at 125,000 transferred to them, and also a grant of £75,000 towards the expense. On the motion that the report be adopted, an animated discussion ensued, urging the board not to waste the ratepayers' money, but to content themselves with simply opposing the street 40 feet wide. Ultimately, Mr. ROCIIE moved as an amendment, " That the report be referred back to the committee, with in structions to insist on the intended road being 60 feet in width, and also to consider and report to this board whether the proposed new street from the Strand to the embankment (in the place of the pre* sent Backingbam-street), is an approach, the cost of which can be charged on the funds provided by the Thames Embankment Act." Mr. FREEMAN seconded the amendment, and it was carried. The routine business having been disposed of, th e board adjourned. NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " PAUL FERROLL."
