o to all minerals within the same limits.

lege is granted for a period of 33 years for coal, coke, and
other fuel.
. A free grant of Government lands required for the line.
i; When 20 per cent. of the capital has been expended on the

tages of the law of August,lBs7, No:9 it, by which the Govern-
teent is empowered either to lend one-third of the fixed capi-
tal to the Company, or to guarantee the bonds of the Com-
Pany to that extent.
And, in addition to the foregoing, the ,Company has ob-
tained this valuable and "distinctive" privilge, that on the
Capital of £2,000,000 being expended, in accordance with the
Concession, the Company is empowered to raise on the same
• terms as the original capital (that is to say, with a guarantee
of 7 per cent. for 90 years) any further sum expended in pay-
ott bent of interest during the construction of the line within
111 the period fixed by the concession.

"11 will be entitled to one-half thenet profits over Sper cent. per
annum. When the dividends derived from profits shall have
exceeded 12 per cent. per annum for two consecutive years,
the Government has the power to modify the tariff' rates, so
• as to keep the dividends within 12 per cent. per annum.
The Government has the option of purchasing the railway
at the end of 30 years, from the date of the opening of the
4'1,, entire line, on payment to the Company of such an amount of
#4,,. Brazilian Government Stock as will give an income equal to

IN, sections estimates, and reports were sanctioned and approved
40 ' bimy the Imperial Government by a decree dated 11th March,
It& The amount sor preliminary expenses has been fixed by the

, • eirnt for all purposes, payment of interest during construe-
' "on being specially provided for as before stated.
Janeiro,
, The province of San Paulo, situated to the south of io
as regards extent of country. richness and varießty
of produce, salubrity of climate, and amount of population, is
't 00e of the most important divisions of the vast and prosper-
furnish pire of Brazil, and it is the object of this railway to
the interior with'S. speedy and cheap system of trans-
b. port to Santos, the chief port of the province. Commencing
rob that maritime town -the line will pass through San
Paulo the metropolis of the province, containing a popula-
' don of 30,000 inhabitants. Thence it will proceed to, and for
present terminate at, the town of Judiahy, about 20 miles
the
Campinas, which is the local capital of the planters, and
.he depot from which the surrounding country is supplied
• for merchandise. The planters are now paying £l6 per ton
▪ "ia' the transport of coffee from Campinas to Santos (a distance
lks r 93 miles), whilst the cost of freight from Santos to Europe
Only 50s. per ton. In the month of October last the ex-
il,. ports of coffee alone amounted to 6,000 tons, and the province
ILA ~11.k.eWise produces sugar, tobacco, tea, kc., and is remarkably
'en in minerals. Apart from the commerce of the province
of San Paulo itself, this railway will become the highway by
• which, the large and important provinces of Mato Grosso and
