PROSPECTUS.
The
." London and Venezuela Bank" has for its proposed
opfratic,ns a ground unoccupied, and is most urgently re-
quired.. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for
!mile ~nonths, and the project has been submitted to the
pdt-,,rnent of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and
hin as "met with their unto alifted approval. Support is promised
highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured
that the privilege of iss,aing Bank notes will be accorded by
the Government.
Messrs. Carl Hahn and G. Servadio, Directors and Repre-
.eutatives of the Prourietors in the "Bank of Caracas,". have
joined the Board and have undertaken, on the establishment
of the "London ana Venezuela Bank," to close their esta-
blishment, and to transfer their business to the present
?company. The banking facilities which Caracas has hitherto
possessed have been very limited, but the fact that the
Bank of Carae:as has - despite its restricted means—earned
a net profit exceeding 30 per cent. per annum, leaves no
doubt that the present undertaking will result in complete
success.

..,..2;fiskilowing, published by Messrs. Matheson and Co.,
'inviting tenders for the Venezuelan Loan in June last,
wit, 'ronfirm the above statements :
" At present there is almost an entire absence of banking
arAtommodation in Venezuela. Possessed of every advantage
I,o.clim.ite and soil, within sixteen days' sail of Englanri, the
existing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the com-
merce of the country, and to the increasing production and
rapidly extending experts of its coffee, cocoa, cotton, hides,
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."

Ii may to added, that since that period, owing to the in-
creased and increasing demand for cap tal 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 occasions
the utmost inconvenience andelifficulty in buying and selling
foreign bills, and large 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-
11y this want, and inasmuch as returns can be made with
ar greater rapidity from Venezuela than from India, where
-the introduction of baming facilities of a like nature '-
been found extremely profitable, it is certain th^
branch of the proposed business must be still mr .c this
iterative. ire remu-

The p•oducts of Venezuela are coffee, cocoa , cotton, tobacco,
hides, indigo, 6ivldivi, and dye stuffs., with an immense
Variety of others, less known, but e:
coffee is of the finest quality, and itp qually valuable. Its
the now all important article . Cocoa is unequalled. On
"er.tton," the following, from.
a leading article in the'• Daily' rei„graph" of the 16th Janu-
ary, 1863, will be read with I..aterest, particularly in connec-
tion with bant,ing and ca-
pit ,1:—" From Venezuela the qua-
lity is gcod and usefu,, 'And some even of the wild plant is
death thed by competer.tjudges as being like midd ing, Orleans.
Parcels imperfectly, ginned have been recently sold in the
Liverpool mark,A at 2s. and 2s. id. per lb. Wages are low,
and a large Inc- ‘ease in the cultivation is fully expected ; but
the great wa'4{ is capit ,l."

In some *parts of ihe country coal is found cropping out on the mi.. of the ground with n a few yards of the sea, and
.. J,
meal wealth of Venezuela is well known to be very
large. This has been demonstrated by assays of many spe-
c-;m".m.s of gold, silver, copper, and lead which were shown in
the late Exhib.tien.
'The principal control of the "London and Venezuela
hank" will be witted in the Board of Directors in England.
'They will select a manager of known qualifications in Lon-
,don, who on his arrival wi I have •he assistance and advice
of the Directors in Caracas and La Guayra, 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
som and in such a manner as they deem expedient. It no
allotment be male the deposits will be returned in full.
