THE ANGLO-LUSO BRAZILIAN STEAMSHIP COM-
PANY'S SCREW-STEAMER PORTUGAL.—By a telegram
received on Saturday, from Lisbon, we learn that the
Portugal; Captain Campbell, had safely arrived at that
port from Liverpool, and had sailed again for St. Vin-
cent and the Brazils, being fully laden with goods; in
fact, the Portugal left behind one-half of the Cargo
sent down for shipment, Which will ticloi hive to contain
for the company's teat steanier from the Mersey. The
Portugal likewise received at Lisbon an accession of no
less than 250 passengers. It will be remembered that
the Portugal was the pioneer of the new line of steamers
from Liierpool to the Brazils, belonging to the Anglo-
Luso Brazilian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company,
who have hitherto made Milford Haven the port of
their departure; but through the business tact and
energy of the spirited agents of the line, Messrs.
Nuttall, Mors, and Co., Liverpool will henceforth derive
the advantage of the steam trade to the Brazils. We
wish this company all the success they deserve, for the
trade between Great Britain and the Brazils is one of
the most progressive and beneficial in existence.
