preference given to children by manufacturers is
their greater manageability, and that in conse-
quence many of them earn more than adults.
Now when able-bodied adults are deprived of
the resource of the poor rates, they will become
as orderly a body of workmen as the childre►t,
and will of course, ceteris paribus, meet with
an equal degree of encouragement and equal
wages from the masters. We must repeat, how-
ever, our often-expressed conviction, that till the
Corn Laws be repealed, and the Poor Laws very,
very much amended, the restoration of the work-
ing classes, of all descriptions, to a sound and
healthy state, cannot ever be commenced effec-
tually. The Factory Bill will, at best, be but
a palliative ; and at the worst will, after much
loss to our manufacturers and to our merchants,
drive them and the landowners into an investiga-
tion of the bad, monstrous evils, which are de-
vouring our very vitals.

The official accounts from Lisbon, received
this day at the Portuguese Embassy, are in
many respects similar, as to the information from
Portugal, to those which are given by our morn-
ing contemporaries. They add, that the feeling
of the population of Lisbon becomes hourly more
marked in favour of the Liberals. The following,
trom our own Correspondent at Lisbon, concurs
with the official accounts which we have seen :
_ LISBON, JUNE 25.-(IN THE EVENING.)

" It is now generally r,ported, and I believe truly, that
the Government have received a telegraphic despatch from
Lagos, announcing the debarkation of the Constitutional
expedition near that place. A nearer spot of debarkation
than this was expected, and Telles Jordao consequently
left us for the coast with a division of 2,500 men, inclu-
ding officers and non-effective persons; but I think the
Pedroites have acted wisely, as the Algarves are known
to be almost free of Migualite troops, there being only
small detachments, who could offer no opposition to the
force which left Opoi to. The people are also said to he
favourable to the Constitution, and there will be no diffi-
culty in finding provisions. From the point of debarka-
tion to Lisbon will not require more than eight or nine
days of slow marching, with many villages en the route,
and Miguel could not bring up his troops from Oporto in
less than three weeks. The number of troops left in
Lisbon (exclusive of Police), does not exceed two thou-
sand five hundred men, and most of these are Royalist
militia, who have seen no service. Of a similar descrip-
tion is the force under Telles Jordao. The want of troops
is so much felt here, that the guard in many parts of the
city has not been relieved for three days. The Illi,;uelites
are in actual despair. By order of the Government all the
horses in Lisbon have been seized for the use of the artil-
lery, and instructions have been given to prevent as much
as possible the supply of provisions to the Constitutionalist,
but they have money with them, and that in this country
does wonders. You may judge of the wretched stale of
the Miguelite army by the fact, that the force in Lisbon,
which is under 2 500, consists of not less than ten regi-
ments, some of which do not muster 100 men.

" The Duke de Cordova' visited the squadron this
morning, and ordered it to weigh anchor and proceed to
sea, but this was found to be impossible on account of the
deficiency of men, who desert as fast as they are sent on
board. I❑ order to complete the crews of the men of war,
the crews of two brigs have been withdrawn, and seamen
have hen discharged from prison and the gallies, and sent
on board. At night, however, these men dr7p over the
sides of tl►e ships, and swim to a short distance, when
thy are picked up by their friends in boats. I have heard
of 200 seamen deserting in one night. The Rainha is in
a dreadfully leaky state, making water rapidly, and there is
no chance of her standing a fight, or even bearing the
discharge of her own guns.

" Orders have just been given for foreign ships of every
nation to go up above the Custom-house, in order to enable
the Miguelite squadron to act against the Constitutional
ships, which are expected here daily. Only the Spanish
frigate has obeyed the order. The French Commander
has declared that he will remove only when it shall suit
himself so to do. Should the Constitutional squadron
arrive soon, Lisbon will be at its mercy, for the hliguelite
ships cannot make an effectual resistance, and we are all
so tired here of the present state of things, that the devil
himself would be hailed as a deliverer, were he to make
his appearance in the nick of time.
" The physicians have declared that the cholera is di-
minishing—but slowly. The number whom it has carried
off in and near Lisbon is estimated at from 12,000 to
14,000.
" P.S. I forgot to state that the Anglo-American
officer, who was to have taken the command of the 11E-
guelite squadron, has, on examining the state of it,
cried off."

The Paris papers of Monday and Tuesday
contain little news of importance. They men-
tion that IBRAHIM PACHA is continuing his
retrograde march from Asia Minor over Mount
Taurus, and that a report was current in Paris
that the crew of the frigate on board which the
Duchess of BERRY was embarked, had mutinied.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BaUssELS, JULY 2.—Great preparations are making at the
Palace to receive her Majesty the Queen of the French, who
will arrive to-morrow. Her Majesty will, reside at Laeken,
and her suite in the palace at Brussels.

The Union says, " According to accounts from the Hague,
which we have reason to believe authentic, the mission of
Prince Frederick to Berlin has completely failed; its object
was to obtain the support of the Cabinet of Berlin in negotia-
tions, which are on the point of being opened on the Belgian
question. The King of Prussia, it is added, strongly represented
to his nephew the necessity of entering promptly into the
views of the powers, in order to bring about a treaty for
the definitive separation of the two countries. The King of
Holland, irritated at the conduct of the head of the house of
Brandenburg towards the house of Orange Nassau, expressed
his dissatisfaction at it on a late occasion, and declared that,
whatever might happen, he would not yield. It is believed,
however, that he will not be able long to resist the desires of
his own subjects."

It is affirmed that the influence of the Cabinet of Berlin has
also been exercised at Frankfort in the same spirit, and that
the military authorities of Luxemburg will immediately re-
ceive orders from the Diet to exert the greatest vigilance, that
the good understanding with the Belgian Government may not
suffer any interruption.
The navigation of the Meuse, though subjected to some
formalities at Maestricht, as a consequence of the precautions
always observed in a fortress, has not led to any pat tial or
vexatious proceeding on the part of the Dutch authorities.
No complaint whatever has been made by our boatmen, though
above 700 boats have already passed through the town.
The Deputation of the Estates of the province of Antwerp
having solicited of the war office the payment (by way of ad-
vance) of the sums due to the province for articles supplied
to the French army in 1832, the Minister answered that he
could not make this payment, but that the French Government
would shortly pay all expenses of that nature.
ANTWERP, JULY I.—The pilot-boat of Flushing has arrived
at Antwerp, and or.e has returned thither for the second time.
Our pilots have been extremely well received at Flushing, and
communicated with every body ; it is the same with the Dutch
pilots at Antwerp, who have resumed their old habits and their
old lodgings. One hundred and thirty-four merchantmen, the
total tonnage of which was 17,612 tons, have arrived at Ant-
werp in the month of June.—Brussels Papers, July 3.:
VIENNA, JUNE .3.—The Austrian Observer says," Accounts
from Constantinople of June 8, (received by express) announce
that Ibrahim Paella, with his army, are in full retreat from
Asia Minor over Mount Taurus. The Crown Prince of Ba-
varia arrived on the Bth inst. at Constantinople on board the
steam boat in which he embarked at Naples.—Allgeineine
Zeitung, June 28. •
LISI.ON, JUNE 24.—8 y accounts from St. Mamede da In-
festa, we learn that his Majesty had, for some days past, his
head-quarters at the Quinta da Pedra. His Majesty enjoyed
excellent health, and had reviewed some corps of the army, in
which his presence excited the greatest joy. His Majesty was
still at Quintti da Pedra on the 21st.
The Lisbon Gazettes of the 18th to the 25th June, contain
no information whatever, official or private, relative to mili-
tary operations.
Rio 01,: JANEIRO, APRIL 16.—The two Chambers, in their
answer to the speech on the opening of the extraordinary
session, convoked chiefly to deliberate on the meats of
improving the currency of the empire, express their
gratitude, and declare that they will devote all their
