NEW ORLEANS AND BRAZILIAN LINE OF STEAM
sHrPs.-we take pleasure in announcing the early
inaugural of line of first class ocean steamships
between this port and Rio de Jsneiro, for the pur
pose Of carrying freights aud of taking emigrants
particularly those Of the agricultural class. An
advertisement in another column Of Mr.. E. L.
Hart. the agent Of Mr. Chas. Nathan, announces
that on the llth of April next the pioneer of this
enterprise, the swift. well appointed and equipped
iron steamship Tartar, Zone of the best Of the
Charles Morgan line,) will leave for Rio. The ad
vertsement should be read by all who are desi-
rous Of going TO Brazil as 1t contains many items
of importance but fuller details are contained in
circular. which san be obtained by all no apply
to the agent. The rate of passage is less than by
the mail steamers from New York to Brazil, aud
great saving Is effected in time and expense Of
journey to New York. One great feature of this
line is that Mr.. Nathan has instructed his agent to
furnish all passengers alike with the best accom-
modstions. Mr. Hart, the agent, has been ar
ranging the prelimnaries of this enterprise for
some weeks past, and has secured another ine
steamship TO follow the Tartar. The contractor
of this line, Mr.. Chas. Nathan, was resident Of
New Orleans before the war. His brother, Mr..
Geo. Nathan, was well known in this city for many
years from his connection with the Brazil coffee
trade, and was lattery a partner in the house Of
Lonsdale Nathan a Co. Both brothers are now
engaged in mercantile life in Rio de Janeiro.
Their relatives and business connections here and
there are Of the highest character. We hope this
enterprise Of Mr.. Nathan viii greatly aid in re-
storing 10 New Orleans the immense coffee bust.

suitable rooms for the State library and Supreme
