This Company—formed for the purpose of establishing a
line of steam service between England, Portugal, and the
Brazils, and completing the essentiul link of communication
between Milford Haven, the seaport of the Great Western
and South Wales Railways, and Santos, Bahia, and Pernam-
buco, the seaports of the three important railways of the
Brazils, has been incorporated by a Royal Charter from his
Majesty the King of Portugal.
The commercial transactions between Great Britain, Portu-
gal, and the Brazilian Empire are of immense and increasing
importance, as is shown by the annual trade returns. From
1850 to 1857 our exports of British manufactured goods to the
Brazils increased from £2,544,937 to £5,447,566; and the pas-
senger traffic between Portugal and that empire, which is
already very great, is constantly and largely increasing, and
w.ll be very much further developed by the railways now in
course of construction.
The Brazilian ports send coffee, dye-wood, drugs, diamonds,
silver, and other valuable products, to this country every
year; while we import 60,000,00 lbs. of coffee annually, two-
thirds of which may be furnished by the Brazils, in exchange
for British manufactures. These facts alone will give some
idea of the present and prospective commerce between the
three countries, and of the necessity of the connecting link -
furnished by this Company for the regular, rapid, and fre-
quent transit of goods and passengers.
In sanctioning the formation and assuming the official posi-
tion of " Protector " of the Company, his Majesty the -King
of Portugal fully recognises the importance of the extensive
and increasing trade that exists upon the line the Directors
have adopted. His Royal Hi hness the Duke of Oporto, his
Majesty's brother, by accepting the President's chair, also
gave expression to his opinion as to the importance of the
undertaking.
The statutes under which the Company has been incor-
porated give its vessels special advantages over those of other
nations, and the Directors are assured that their ships sailing
under the Portuguese flag will be able to command a very
large share of the passenger traffic xisting between Great
Britain, Portugal, and the Brazils.
The Directors have entered into a contract with the Por-
tuguese Government for a subsidy for the carriage of their
mails to the Brazils, by which a payment is secured to the
Company equal to about £15,000 per annum of our money. A.
contract has also been entered into with her Majesty's Post-
master-General, on highly favourable terms, for the convey-
ance of the British mails from this country to Portugal and
the Brazils, and a subsidy will also be received from the Bra-
zilian Government for the conveyance of their mails, equal to
co
about £15,000 a year. In addition to these otracsalrvehaig
concluded, the Company have negotiations in
progress
the Directors confidently anticipate will terminatesaAsfac-
torily, and in that case the. Company will be in receipt of a
gross sum of £85,000 a year for postal service.
The line was opened on the 3d of October last.
The following is an extract from the Report of the Direc-
tors of the South Wales Railway to their Shareholders on
the 20th Feb., 1860 :
"The arrangements for through booking with the Ang,lo-
Luso-Brazilian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company,
which were adverted to at the last half-yearly meeting, have
been brought into operation. One of the ships of the Com-
pany arrives at, and departs from, Milford Haven in each
month.
" Tne traffic in connexion with them has already become of
material importance to this Company, and from information
which 'the Directors have received, they believe that the
undertakisr, itself bids fair to be a profitable one to its pro-
moters, and of permanent advantage to the South Wales
Railway."

the Company, 40, Cannon-street, London, E.C. • or to the
