ABRIDGED P R OSPECTUS.
The' London and Venezue'a Bank" h s for its proposed
'operations a ground unoccupied. and is most urgently re-
qo ired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for
OZ months, and the project has been sub fitted to the
J„_adgment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and
Ifit na met with their unq'alified approval. Support is promised
highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured
24 the privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by
%ate Government.
The banking ta.cilities which Caracas has hitherto pos-
sessed have been very limited, but the feet that the Bank
of Caracas, which will now merge i to this establishment,
hue despite- its restricted means—earned a net profit exceed-
`nVO er cent. per annum, leaves no doubt that tae present
140' ertalc lig will retort in complete success.
The followin, published by Messrs. Matheson and Co.,
"while inviti ,g tenders for th V.mezuelan Loan in June last,
will confirm the above statements :
At present there is almast an entire absence of banking
accommodation in Venezuela. Possessed ot every advantage
clim to and soil, within sixteen days' sail of Englan the
exis ing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the com-
merce of the country, and to the increasing production and
rapidly extending exp ,rts of its coffee, cocoa, cotton, h; des,
* * * The advantages of this
Tnstitattion will he obvious to all, an l as the rat s of interest
rangy, f e ona 1 to 15 per cent. per annum, the profits may be
exnected to be considerable."
ft may b • added, that since that period, owing to the in-
'creased and increasing demand for cap tal for the cultivation
of cotto,,, 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. Mathesen,
The want of an Exchange Bank in Venezuela oc salons
'tile utmost inconvenience in buying and selling foreign
; this Bank will supply the want, and as returns can be
Made with far greater r .pidity from Venezuela than from
India, where banAn9 facilities of a like nature have been
stillound extremely profitable, it is certain this branch must be
more munerative.
The principal control of the London and Venezuela
Bank Hill be v sted in the Board ot Directors in England.
They will select a manager of known qualifications, who,
on his arrival, wi 1 have he assistance anti adv!ce of the
Directors n Caracas and La Guayra, who are Europeans of

ABRIDGE U P ROSPECTUS.
The object's of this Company are t o purchase, from ti ice to
time, such freehold or leasehold property in London and its
neighbourhood as may present special capabilities for im-
provement.
"The first sten of the Comnany will be the purchase and
development of some first-class freehold properties at the
'West-end, for securing which most advanta eous agreements
'have been entered into, and the rental to be derived there-
from has been estimated by experienced valuers to produce a
sufficient sum to ensure interest and dividend amounting to 15
per cent and upwards (arising from property ever increasing
in value), after making ample de uction for repairs, out-
goings, and management ; and when these properties are
completed and occupied, it is calculated they may be resold at
a profit of 50 per cent. to the Company.
Full partiulars of the proposed operations of the Company
may be obtained at the Offices, No.l, New Brpad street-court,
where the Artie e, of Association may be seen ; and Pros-
-IPectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be ob-

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The objects of this Company are to provide and anchor
ships near the ordinary track of vessels—such Alps to serve
as Electric Telegraph and Signal Stations, in communication
with existing systems in Europe and America; and also as
Safety Beacons for Navigation.
This Company's ships will be connected with the land by
means of submarine cables, and fitted up complete as Tele-
graph Stations. It is also intended to provide them with
steam power and lanterns for displaying a powerful light,
and day and night signals, steam whistles, guns, lifeboats,
Azc. Stores, water, and provisions will be kept on board for
the immolate requirements of vessels in distress.
Steam tenders, fitted up for the conveyance of passengers,
mails, specie, and merchandise, and capable of acting as tugs,
will be provided by the Company, so that assistance can be
rendered to disabled or cerelict vessels.

The stations ;;electeCl for the first services of the Company
are off the Scilly Islands, at the entrance to the English and
Irish Channels, and off Cape Race, Newfoundland.
The Directors are of opinion that the following considera-
tions show that the enterprise will be remunerative to the
shareholders.
About 100,000 vessels pass Scilly, and about 35,000 pass
Cape Race annually.
At the station at the entrance of the English Channel
vessels arriving from all parts of the world, whether bound

with the European telegraphic system.
The practicability of the enterprise is established by the
opinions of eminent seamen, engineers, and electricians
