nected with it an establishment for the education of orphan children, in which they are trained for the service of the country. These boys, now over four hundred in number, are divided into two companies, the one of workmen, the other of marine apprentices. The former are employed in the different shops connected with the arsenal, and are taught the trades required for building vessels. With time and experience, and the constant solicitude of the government, which has already sent some Brazilian artists to study in Europe, these workshops will become perfected, and will enrich the province in the future with a body of national workmen well skilled in naval architecture. The “marine apprentices” are thoroughly trained for the duties of the sailor, thus furnishing the navy with persons adapted to the service. These two companies, , composed of boys from twelve to sixteen years of age, serve as asylums for orphans or neglected children, who live contented and are well treated, while they receive education and become useful to themselves and the country There are other subjects in regard to wbich information is called for in consular regulations, but it is almost impossible to comply with the instructions. The tabular statements which accompany this, meagre as they are, have engaged every leisure moment during the last three months.
