BRISTOL SUGAR—FRIDAY.
Our market has opened after the holidays with a better
feeling. Our stocks are too low to admit of anything 110
business, but a cargo of Barbadoes is preps ring for offer,
and we are in expectation of some early supplies of Deme-
rara. Prices are nominally is higher. Of refined goods
everything offering is taken at an improvement of 6d to 15
per cwt. For rums holders are firmly demanding WO
rates. This has checked sales, which have been confined
to some parcels of Demerara at is lid per proof gallon pet
puncheon. An impression seems to prevail that cholo
spirits will be dearer.

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 undertaken, on the establishment
of the "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. If no
allotment be made the deposits will be returned in full.
rive hundred Shares are reserved for allotment in Vene-
zuela.
, Appli ations for Shares must be made In the rccompany-
'nf; form, which, with Pro pectuses, may be urocured of the
Rankers, Solicitors, Broken, or Secretary at the Offi •es of the
