OF the above, the railway, the gas company, the
soap factory, the coastng steamers, and the patent
slip are all privileged to greater or less extent
The railway has a guarantee of per cent. upon a
capital of Sc 100000 per cent. of which is to be
paid by the imperial treasury, and 2 per cent. by
the provincial. Besides this, the company has the
right of all mines that may be discovered on either
side of the line for twenty miles, and the lands for
the permanent way, &C., to be surrendered to it
free of all charges for the sum of $l75,00O
The principal articles of export from the five prov
inces already named are sugar, cotton and hides.
The quantity of sugar exported averages annually
from 60 900 to 10000 tons of cotton about l7,000,
900 pounds and of hides about 100000. The value
of these exports in 1855 $7,268,T 8l ; though
the annual average during the past six years, was
during the same period, was 1912, 2l5. The inn
ports may be classified follows:
From Great Britain: Manufactures of Gotten, linen,
wool, silk, hardware, machinery, arms, earthenware,
Goldfish, butter GOALS &c.
France Manufactures Of silks, wine, perfumery, BIZ
jouetrie, butter &c.
United States Manufactures of cotton, flour, tea
ice &c.
Spain: Wine and fruits.
Portugal: Wine, fruits, hams, and sausages
Sweden Iron, pitch, tar, and planks.
Denmark: Pitch tar and panks.
Sardinia Perfumery, flour, paper, and olive oil.
Prussia: Wine and planks
Hanse Towns Manufactures of cotton and linen,
cordagc, gin, &c.
Buenos Ayres Dried beef.
The vast extent of territory embraced in these
provinces the unequaed fertility of soil, and eli
mate whose salubrity is proverbial, are, of them
selves, sufficient guarantees that any works of inn
provement which will facilitate the transportation to
market of the cotton sugar, and hides which they
produce, and Of the coffee, rice indigo, cochineal
tea, and other tropical productions for the cultiva
ton of which this part of Brazil is well adapted
must necessarily offer safe and remunerative in
vestment to capitalists, especially when such works
under the special protection and fostering Of
an enlightened and liberal government.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FOREIGN CAPT
tai IN BRAZIL.

The encouragement which the Brazilian govern
ment holds out to foreign capitalists in the prosecu
ton Of the many works of internal Improvement 80
Indispensable necessary in developing the exhaust
less resources of this young and fourshing empire
has for time past attracted the attention OF the
moneyed classes both in Europe and the United
States The spirit of enterprise has fairly taken
start in Brazil, and already several works of great
public utility have been SO far completed or are now
being pushed forward with so much success and
yigor that we may expect soon to witness COM
plete revolution in the productive industry, as well
as in the foreign commerce, of this extensive en-
pre- In the province of Pernambuco for instance,
the planters have heretofore been obliged, and even
at present are to great extent, necessitated, to
bring their sugar and cotton to market by horse CON
veyance-a distance of from twenty to one hundred
leagues-during the dry season, whenitis amostim-
possible procure the necessary supply of food and
water The difficulty in bringing the produce OF the
interior to market within any reasonable distance
from seaport, has been the great drawback upon
Brazilian industry; hence the Importance attach
ed to the works of internal improvement now
contemplated or commenced in different parts
OF the empire. Inc Oh DIdAiit VIC arc Sihu-
fed to say, is good in the leading money markets
of the world, and Justly SO; for, with most com
mendable spirit of liberal foresight the government
has indicated its willingness to aid in these works Of
Improvement, and affords every necessary guarantee
to those who may be disposed to embark their CAPT
tai in such enterprises We know not the precise
amount of United States capital now invested in Bra
lillian securities. 1t is considerable, however, and
we believe is increasing in amount from year to
year. We have before official document from
which we derive some interesting information in re-
spect British moneyed enterprise, beyond the pale
of ordinary commerce, in Brazil. In the five prov
inces of Pernambuco, Paraba, Alagoas, Rio Grande
do Norte and Ceara, containing altogether
of about 100 900 square miles, which is spread
apopulation of 100000 souls the amount of British
capital invested in works of public Improvement

actually paid in or the payment when required is
amply guaranteed.
