ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The " London and Venezuela Bank" h s for its proposed
13Perations a ground unoccupied, and is most urgently re-
'quired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for
- months, and the project has been sub Atted to the
Jknaginent of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and
nag met with their unq ,alified approval. Support is promised
in highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured
that the privilege of timing Bank notes will be accorded by
the Government,
She banking facilities which Caracas has hitherto pos.
ted have been very limited, but the fast that the Bank
'..12t Caracas, which will now merge i •to this establishment,
as despite its restricted means—earned a net profit exceed-
fag 30 er cent. per annum, leaves no doubt that tae present
ltedertaking will result in complete success.
The following, published by Messrs. Matheson and Co.,
white inviting tenders for th Venezuelan Loan in June last,
Attil confirm the above statements :
" At present there 13 almost an entire absence of banking
ltooomrnodation in Venezuela. Possessed of eve advantage
ry
of clim to and soil, within sixteen days' sail of England, the
exis ing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the corn-
nteree of the country, and to the increasing production and
Vapidly extending experts of its coffee, cocoa, cotton, hides,
The advantages of this
Institution will be obvious to all, and as the rat a of interest
rang t'om 1' to 15 per cent. per annum, the profits may be
d'lTected to be considerable."
It may be 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 prefitable employment at much
higher rates than those quoted by Messr-. Matheson.
The want of an Exchange Bank in Venezuela 00.asions
'the utmost inconvenience in buying and selang foreign
bias ; this Bane will supply the want, and as returns can be
:Made with far greater r-pidity from Vanezuel. than from
India, where ban ing facilities of a like nature have been
found extremely profitable, it is certain this breech must be
stilt mote remune ative.
The principal control of the London and Venezuela Ilank will be v st,fi in the Board of Directors in England.
They will select a manager of known qualifications, who,
on his arrival, wi 1 have he assistance an., adv ce of the
Direcrors n Caracas and La Guayra, who are Europeans of
high standing in the country, and well known in connection
with Venezuelan trade and finance.

may be procured of the Kankers, Solicitors, "Broker or - ecre-
tary, at the Offi es of the Company, where the Articles of As-

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The ,objec's of this Company are t o purchase, from time to
'time, such freehold or leasehold property in London and its
mctshbourhood as may present special capabilities for im-
„De,vement.
The first step of the Comnany wit; be ase and
development of some first-class freehold properties at the
West-end, for securing which most advanta eons 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.
