It is said that a Gentleman of distinguished talents, who has bestowed more attention on the subject of labour than perhaps any other i idividual in this coun try, was employed some time ago by Government (and has now returned from his mission), to examine into the state of the Manufacturing Population, with a view to the possession of the facts necessary for a discussion of the question bow far means can be found in El.igration for affording relief to the distressed workmen. Yesterday the examination of Mr. Gordon, the Navy Agent, came on before the Court of Commissioners, at Basinghall•street. It was objected by the assignees, that the accounts had not been delivered in by Mr. Gordon in prop e r time, and that the assignees had not been able to examine them properly. The Commissioner stated, that the accounts appeared to him to have been de livered later by two or three days than they ought to have been, and therefore he adjourned the further pro ceeding until the 3d of April, observing, that the assig nees might take every assistance they possibly could in snaking up the accounts, tut that, wh,n made up, the Commissioners mu,t hold the assignees responsible for the correctness of the accounts.

Dr. Ashe was passing along Piccadilly, on his way to Tat tersall's, when near Apsley HOLM', he was surrounded by three stout fellows, and robbed of a purse containing a ltd. Bank of England note, two sovereigns, and all. note of the Bristol Old Bank. • F r some time past the larmers residing in the neigh bourhood of Peckham and Dulwich have sustained considerable losses, in consequence of the depredations committed in their sheep-lolds. On Wednesday morn ing last, Mr. Wade, of Nunhead, in visiting his fold, di,covered the mutilated carcasses of 21 of his sheep and ewes, which had been killed during the night.— From the state in which they were discovered, it was evident that some animal of considerable strength had attacked and killed them, merely to gorge upon. their blood, as it was only in a few instances that any part of the flesh was torn away. Mr. Brown and Mr. Lewis, farmers, of Peckham, alto suffered in a similar manner, and although every expedient had been adopted for the purpose of detecting the voracious intruder, by placing men to watch, this object was not accoos. plisheo until Friday last, when the person engaged on the lock out observed a huge dog, of the Newfoundland species, cautiously approaching the fold in which Mr. Brown's sheep were confined. Before, however, the man had time to strike him, the dog ran off with speed towards the woods. The following morning he was traced into a sequestered part of Dulwich wood, where it appeared he had taken up his abode; from whence he was in the habit of issuing in the night time, and com mitting depredations amongst the flocks belonging to the farmers in the neighbourhood. The individual who first discovered the dog's retreat was attacked by the, animal, and i•bliged to climb up a tree for salety. The dog is still at large. THE CORN LAWS.—Thursday, a public meeting of manufacturers and other inhabitants of Carlisle and its neighbourhood, was held in the Coffee House Assembly room in that Loan. The object of the meeting was to petition Parliament in favour of the proposed revision of the Corn Laws. Res ilutions to this effect were adopted. Towards the close of the meeting a body of operatives took an active part in the prrceedings of the day, and a resolution moved by one of them in favour of Parlia mentary Reform, was, after much opposition, and a very near division, declared to be carried. In conse quence of this decision, many Gentlemen present declined subset iiring to the Petition, which was to be founded on the Resolutions. •It was in the end, thought right to prepare two Petitions, one containing the reform clause, and one without it. Both are to be sent off for presen tation on Thursday. The woikmen whose labours had been for a time sus pended, in consequence of the de.tth of the Duke of Yot,a, have resumed their opera at the Palace, A filch was building as the intended residence of the Rnyal Duke.

George Pierson, of the Coast Blockade at Eastware Bay, has seised 22 tubs of spirits, which he found floating off Folkestone yesterday afternoon. CHATHAM, FIB. 4. Lord Metvitte arrived at the Dock Yard early yesterday morn ing from Cobham Hall, the seat of the Earl of DASSLIT, and em barked at one o'clock on board theCosnet steam vessel, accompanied by Commissioner CUNNINGHAM, and proceeded to Sheerness, to visit the Dock Yard and the new works carrying on there. His Lord ship returned early in the afternoon and inspected this Dock Yard, and also the new Naval Hospital now erecting here. MAIDSTONE, FEB. 6. Thursday morning, Mr. Agar, the Governor of the county gaol at Maidstone, received a letter from the Secretary of State, signifying that the execution of the sentence of death, passed upon the fourteen smugglers, should be respited, until the further signification of his Majesty's pleasure. Agreeably to further orders, all the fourteen prisoners were yesterday removed from the gaol, to be put on board ship, for the purpose of transportation for life.—lt was supposed by many people that some of them would be executed on Monday morning ; accordingly an immense concourse of per sons from all parts of the country assembled here, for the purpose of witnessing the execution: TLALPUICARUA MINING COMPANY. A General Meeting of the Shareholders of this Com pany was held yesterday, at their Office. Joint SselrH, E.g. M.P. in the Chair. From the balance sheet, which was the first document read, it appeared that the receipts on the shares had been 150,0001. all of which sum had bten expended, except 5,6621. 11 s. Id. A long Report was then read, detailing the proceedings of tl.e Company since its for mation. A fever, which raged in the district where the mines are situated, from February to July had proved fatal to about 600 of the English miners and natives who had been engaged on the Company's worts. Subse quently a road leading to the mines had been swept away by the heavy autumn floods, and the lodes com pletely inundated. Things however, according to the last accounts in December, had almost been retrieved. After some conversation on the present aspect of the affairs of the Company, the Report was adopted, and the Meeting adjourned. It appeared, however, that a further call will be necessary on the shares. -In the packet service for Buenos Ayres a regulation has been introduced, in consequence of the blockade of that port by the Brazilian squadron, to the effect, that if the commander of the packet, on• arriving at Rio de la Plata, shall apprehend any danger to the persons or property of the passengers, on account of passing through that squadron, he shall be at liberty to land the passengers, with whatever specie he may have on board, at any other port on the other side of the river which he may cAssider best adapted for their security. The proposal made by the Colombian President to dispose of the fee-simple of his mining estates in that *public to a Mining Association here, has led to much park among the monied circles in the City. The sum asiked is 40,0001. which, if the bargain is concluded, is to be deposited in the Bank of England; and it is un derstood to be the intention of BOLIVAR, at some futura period, to invest the amount in the purchase of landed property in this country. Letters from Port•au•?rince, St. Domingo, dated the 14th of December, state that the coffee crop was most abundant. One letter mentions, that it is expected that the discriminating .duty on export will be immediately abolished; at present it stands thus—on coffee exported on French account, in French ships, 21 per cent. other foreign nations, S3l. The remarkable influx of water, occasioned by the recent heavy downfall, has swelled the various drains ' in the neighbourhood, to an extent which threatens the most dangerous consequences to the property in their vicinity. In Mount Foster drain, the water has so far exceeded its usual level, as to cause many of the adjoining dykes to overflow and flood the pastures.—Boston Gas. A private letter from Dublin states, that Mr. Shiel was on Saturday last called upon by his Majesty's AT TORNEY GENERAL to give bail for his appearance to stand his trial on a charge of alleged seditious expres- ' sions in a speech delivered by him at a Meeting of the Catholic Association about the 19th of last month. The offensive words alluded to it is supposed to be the pointing out to the French Government the facility with which Ireland may be invaded by steam boats. ''•lt is with more regret than surprise, that we observe it stated, and from a quarter likely to obtain good in formation, that the Irish Roman Catholics in Portugal, have been the most active in endeavouring to excite the population against our troops, and against the inter ference of this country in favour of the Constitutional Government.—Kentish Gazette. SUDDEN DEATH.MODday night, about twelve o'clock, A middle•aged man, of very respectable appear. ance, fell down in a fit of apoplexy, while crossing Blackfriars Bridge. Medical assistance was promptly procured, but without effect. The body now lies at Christchurch Workhouse to be owned. In the pockets of the deceased were found some papers with the name of Shearman written upon them. A boy named Haze[grove, twelve years of age, living on the coar, near the Church, at Middleton, Sussex, has been committed to prison for setting fire to a quan tity of touch which he had collected, as he said, to warm himself by ; but which was deemed by the Block ade Service as a signal to smugglers in the offing. PUBLICITY IN LAW PROCEEDINGS —ln the course of the discussions in the " Wellesley cause" during the last three months, the Loan CHANCELLOR has taken occasion several times to observe upon the advantage, both to the Public and the Judge, of all cases of im portance undergoing discussion in public. It was re marked, on his Lordship's giving jodgaiesit in theabove case on Thursday last, that he expressed his opinion strongly on this subject, observing that the best security the Judge had for the due discharge f his duty was the pre,ence or tile Public during the hearing of the case. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the K ng's Arms, Little Si. Jaim,s's-stieet, on the body of Geo Brewman, Iged 19. The deceased was in the employ of Mr. Glover, and was engaged with other men in rebuilding Arthur's Club House; on Monday evening, a part of he scaffol .1 gave way, and the deceased, with others, as preopitated to the ground...the injury he received consequt oce occasioned his dead►.

Extract of a letter from an Officer in the ^.9th'Regiment, dated Quebec, 14th December, 1826: " The 79th gave a splendid entcr tainment to Lord DALHOUSI/4 and the principal Scotsmen% Quebec, on St. Andrew's day.

He pressed one of the bagpipes to his bosom, and shortly went away, his feel ings getting the better of him. He served in the old 78th, or Fraser's Highlanders, which Corps and our own are the only two that have worn the kilt in Quebec. An elegant Entertainment was given at the Colony House, Demerara, on Friday evening, the Bth December last, by a select party of Gentlemen, to the Officers of the 27th Enniskillens, as a token of their esteem and good will at parting. The guests assembled about nine o'clock, and dancing commenced at a little before ten, and was kept up with spirit until an advanced hour.— This distinguished Regiment has been stationed in that Colony nearly three years, during which both Officers and privates have been on the most friendly footing with the inhabitants.

Jem Ward, whose claim to the Championship of England seems to be still undisputed, took a benefit yesterday. The setting-to was excellent, and the business done promises additional sport for the Fancy. Jem Ward and Jem Bums closed the games, by an admirable set-to, in which the improvement of Burns, both as to person and science, was strongly demonstrated. Ward then announced his anxious wish to make a match with any man in England, for any sum front one to three hundred pounds; but more especially with Crawley, or Big Brown. He knee, Brown had said that he would not fight fur less than five hundred pounds; although upon what principle he fixed that price on his talent, he could not divine. His friends were ready to back him against Brown for three hundred, and if any other sporting man would stand two hundred with him, as a bet, he would meet Brown on his own terms, for there was no man is England whom ' he would sooner fight—(Cheers.) In conclusion, ke thanked the Court for their kind support. Harry Holt appeared on the part of Brown, and said he was authorised to make a match with any man in England for him for 5001. but not for less—(cries of—He does not want to fight at all !) That he dces mean to fight (said Harry), the best proof is, that I will match hint for 5001. I agree that any man who means to claim the Championship ought to fight for any stAte. from one hunt dred upwards, though not fur less; but as Brown will not come down in his terms, it only remains for Ward to meet him ; and as Ward's merits were well known, it was to be hoped patrons enough of the London Ring would he found to back him against the well breeched champion of Bridgnorth—(Applause). Gy axerrs AND Raciest Maatex.—Gybletts, in the course of the sports, announced that his money was ready to make a match with .Reuben Marten, for 501. a side, and a place of meeting was forth. with settled for arranging the preliminaries.
