rival OF the Bark lSabelta Heyne, Captain Dewlng,
from Rio Janeiro, we in receipt OF files Of the
formal do Comrcto and Cureio Mercanta to the
18th of June, SIX days later than previous ac-
counts. We. are greatly indebted to Captain
Dewing, and to Mr.. Heyne, for the latest copies
of the Concrete.
The accounts from Montevldeo are not so late
as those received direct from that port.
The House of Deputies was in session at Rio,
but their debates were on purely local subjects,
devoid of general interest.
The Emperor of Brazil has lately despatched
three Capuchin monks as missionaries among the
Indians In the province OF Minas We find, in the
columns of the formal do Concrete, an advertise
ment of rather singular exhibition. 1t is of no
less than locomotive engine and railroad, in
model of course the exhibitor, M. Victor, invites
the attention of the inhabitants of Rio to his ex-
hibition, and assures them that it is an exact
representation of the true locomotive. We hope
before many years the Brazllians will have real
railroads to admire and use.
Frem Pernambuco accounts had been received
at Rio, date, however, not mentioned incendiary
fires were unfortunately prevailing there. In the
other Northern provinces, however, the greatest
tranquility prevailed. We annex letter from our
Rio, at the time of sailing Of the Isabelta Heyne.
