LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1832.

We may hourly expect to hear news of Don
rEntio's expedition having reached the coast of
Portugal. It now appears that the troops did
not all embark till the 26th of June, being ten
daYs later than the reported sailing of the expe-
dition. Allowing for contrary winds, and
the slow sailing of some transports, it
is probable that the fleet which left
Terceira on the 26th of June would not make
the coast of Portugal before the sth or 6th in-
stant. The wind has lately been favourable, so
that we may hear by to-morrow of an actual
landing having been effected, in which case there
can be but little doubt as to the result. The
defeat of Don AliGuEt, will give a new turn
to affairs in Western Europe, and must also in-
fluence the march of events in the East, to a
degree which the King of HOLLAND and the
Emperor of RUSSIA seem as yet not to have
calculated upon.
We understand that there are some proclama-
tions of Don PEDRO'S in town, which were
Issued on the sailing of the expedition, and in-
tended for circulation in Portugal.

A society has lately been formed which, if
Properly supported and conducted, may be of
great advantage, not only to the poor themselves,
but to the community at large. The objects of
the society are to provide employment on the
soil for such persons as are willing to labour,
whereby they may support themselves and fa-
milies without having recourse to parish aid.
These are to be obtained by leasing out waste
land to agricultural labourers—providing them
with stock and implements of husbandry till the
soil_ repay the labour, and then requiring a yearly
rent, such as to remunerate, or nearly so, the
company for the first outlay. When we consider
the vast quantity of waste land in this country—
the multitudes of poor people, i❑ the south of
England particularly, who are willing to work
but can find no employment, and the change
which cultivation produces, even on the poorest
soil, the project appears well worthy the atten-
tion of the public. From estimates laid before
Parliament it appears there are above fifteen mil-
lion acres of waste and uncultivated land in the
United Kingdom, yet capable of cultivation, and
also several millions of acres nearly in the same state
for want of proper management. Such land, of
course, could be obtained for a mere trifle. The
great expense would arise from erecting build-
ings and providing stock and provisions for one
year—but even all these would cost little more
for a whole family than the expense of trans-
porting only one convict to New South Wales.
In Holland the experiment was made in 1818,
and the expense for locating each family did not
exceed 1421., the greater part of which has since
been repaid by the colonists. We have heard
doubts expressed of the flourishing state
of the colony, but know not on what
grounds. The very fact that a tract of
waste land has been rendered capable of main-
taining 30,000 persons, is a sufficient induce-
ment to make a similar trial in England. It is
indeed surprising that landed proprietors have
not long ago made some attempt of this kind,
in order to diminish the poor-rates. These
amount to eight million sterling a year, and from
their very operation, from the encouragement
which they hold out to idleness, and their degra-
ding effect on the peasant, they must go on in-
creasing till they are beyond endurance. Were
some such plan as this adopted under proper re-
gulations, the labourer would have encourage-
ment to work, and, from obtaining a little pro-
perty through his own exertions, would acquire
a feeling of independence and self-respect, which
is the best of all checks to pauperism. We
know not whether the Commission o❑ the Poor
Laws has taken this subject into consideration,
