PROSPECTUS.
the " London and Venezue'a Bank" has for its proposed
erations a ground unoccupied. and is most urgently re-
ired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for
1" months, and the project has been sub nitted to the
4gment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and
met with their unq,, alified approval. Support is promised
highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured
at the privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by
e Government.
Messrs. Carl Hahn and G. Servadio, Directors and Repre-
ntatives of the Proprietors in the "Bank of Caracaa," have
fined the Board, and have undertaken, on the establishment
the "London ana Venezuela Bank," to close their esta-
Ishment, a-d to transfer their busine,s to the present
raPanY. The banking facilities which Caracas has hitherto
tasessed have been very limited, but the fast that the
Ink of Caracas has -despite its restricted means—earned
net profit exceeding 30 per cent. per annum, leaves no
albt that the present undertaking will result in complete
tccess.
The following, published by Messrs. Matheson and Co.,
hile inviting tenders for th, Venezuelan Loan in June last,
ill confirm the above statements :
" At present there it almost an entire absence of banking
nommodation inVeneitiela. Possessed of every advantage
' clim to and soil, within sixteen days' sail of Englan,i, the
cishing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the corn-
,erce of the country, and to the increasing production and
ipidly extending exports of its coffee, cocoa, COtton, hides,
c.

he advantages of this Institution will be obvious to all
ther politically or financially interested in the prosperity of
enezuela, anti as the rates of interest range from 10 to 15
er cent. per annum, the profits may be expected to be consi-
erable,"

It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in-
teased and increasing demand for cap Aal for the cultivation
cotton, which is now being exported to England in large
Ilantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much
Llgher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson.
The want of an " Exchange Bank" in Venezuela occasions
outmost inconvenience and difficulty in buying and selling
leeig',ll bills, aid la, ge sums are made by private individuals,
von, having no direct interest in drawing or remitting, must
'e induced to do either one or the other, by the offer of tempt-
lig Profits. The "London and Venezuelan Bank" will sup-
'AY this want, and inasmuch as returns can be made with
,r greater rapidity from Venezuela than from India, where
he introduction of bancing facilities of a like nature has
peen found extremely profitable, it is certain that this
>ranch of the proposed business must be still more remu-
le- ative.
,oTbe p-oducts of Venezuela are coffee, cocoa, cotton, tobacco,
1-les, clividivi, and dye stuffs, with an immense
sanety of others, less known, but equally valuable. Its
Vfee is of the finest quality, and its cocoa is unequalled. On
e now all important article "cotton," the following, from
leading article in the `• Daily Telegraph" of tne lath Jann-
4!Y, 1863, will be read with interest, particularly In conneo-
Tn with ban,:ing and capit 1:—" From Venezuela the qua-

In some parts of he country coal is found cropping out on

This has been demonstrated by a'says of many spe-
einlens of gold, silver, copper, and lead which were sho an in
the late Exhib tien.

They will select a manager of known qualifications in Lon-
don, who on his arrival wi I have he assistance and advice
