MUSIC.

OPERA CORIQUE, ST. JAMS 8.

The production, last Digit, of Ambrom Thomas's
opera knife, Le Cali, was not very judicious, nor is it likely,
we think, to be very mexusful. A company whose pet-
fortunate are limbed to • abort period ought to have • very
choice repertoire—to admit nothing but chefrd'ouivre of the
greatest moisten, of which there are many more than they
eon possibly include; and this la the more nematary when
the isompeay I mule as we have already described this one
to be. The Rork of their performance lies, not in
the pre-eminent incellum• of one or more individuals,
but in the satielbetery character of the ensemble.
Give than ea opera of sterling merit, and they
can pertness ft very well ; es in the can of the
Ilientiots de its Clurromme, which want off more pleasantly

'boding tie of lestitka of printing her name be the bills in

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1859.

MEETING 07:13 MIPIGAL P10728810N.

Yesterday evening the first of a series of metro.
politan meetings of members of the medical profession was
held in the voetry hall of St. Pancras, for the purpose et
securing an efficient system of registration under the act of
the last session of parliament, by which the new medical
council, of which Sir Benjamin Brodie, Bart., is president,

Fla aMeatated.

Dr. TUNNILEY, who wan called to the chair, said the
meeting had been called by a large number of medical peso-
titioners who formed the leaden Medical Registration Aseo-
ciatioi, the chief object of which was to furnish to the
faunal constituted under the recent act of parliament, matter
of a legal nature in reference to the qualifications of medical
men who sought the confidence of the public. It was not
necessary that the person who became acquainted with the
information needful to be laid Woes the registrar of council
should become responsible for it, Inasmuch as all his had to
do was to lay it before the sxretary of the earoclation, who
would Investigate the facts and lay them Waxy the wen-
mittea.

Dr. LADD read a report, which stated that Dr. Georp
Webster had been elected prendent; that Dr. Brady,
M.P., Mr. Propert, Mr. Ferguson, and other members of
the profanes, had consented to sot as vice-presidents ; and
that Mr. George Smith Brent, the depapeorener for Mid-
dlesex, would act as secretary. A committee bed
been appointed for the pupae of dslaotlng peruse who
illegally acted as medical praotinease, and watching the
operation of the New Medical Act. It wee provided that any
member of the society who pranisin anything but orthodox
medicine should be called before this vtgllWoe committee,
and the result reported to the general committee. It wee
believed that the present system of reelatration adopted
the sew council wee loose and ineacdant, and did not
a proper security spinet the intrusion of improper persons
into general practice. To prevent Illegal practice the com-
mittee recommended that the claim of any pt 1,6031 to be re-
gistered should be attested by a credible witness. A repro-
antation to that effect had afro been made to Sir Benjamin
Brodie, the president of the council. Dr. Hawkins had been
informed by the committee of 60 nequalitied parsecs who
were at present in practice, a fact which it wee hoped would
he appreciated by the profanes at large. It was hoped,
moreover that this information would lead to proceedings
being adopted against prescribing chemists and ether 1131-
qualified practitioners.
The report having been received,
Mr. RAWLIWIS moved a resolution which affirmed that
the meeting, having heard of the progress made by the um-
ciation,thoroughly acquiesced in its principle., and mom-
mended it to the oossideration of the medical profeesioc, not
only for its own lake, but for the irterrsts of the public.
Mr. NASH verAinded the motion, which was euppocted by
Mr. ADAMS, and carried unanimously.
Dr. ROUTH moved the following resolutioa :—" That in
the opinion of this meeting it is highly desirable to augment
the numbers and influence of the members of the London
Medical Registration Association, so la to enable it to
effectually carry out its objects, and to give weight to its
proceedings with the medical council, and this meeting
pledges itself to use every exertion to acme that std."
TM speaker said he had no doubt that the number of frau-
dulent persons cheating the profession and doing injury to
the public was upwards of a thousand. He believed that
few persons knew of the number of black sheep by whom
they were medically defrauded.
Dr. Hittite seconded the resolution, which was edopted.
A large number of medical practitioners resident in the
ndghbsurhood were enrolled members of the association and
&vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings.

THE REFUSAL OP RELIEF AT ST. PANCRAS

WORKROUSZ.

Yesterday a special investigation wu instituted
by the directors of the poor of St. Pancras as to the recent
chugs made against the master of St. Fauna workhouse
in reference to the refusal to admit a young girl, named
Mary Anne Hodge, into the workhouse, and Mr. Tyrwhitt's
(the police magistrate) remarks thereon.
Mr. Churchwarden Attenbotough wee in the chair, and
Mary Anne Hodge, who was accompanied by the matron of
the !breasts' Home, in which institution she has now an
asylum, attended to make her statement.
The gale porter admitted himself in error In sot sending
' up to the master word that the girl was brought to the
workhousegate by the police; and that he omitted to mention
that they said she wee destitute.
Mary Anne Hodge was examined. She said she was 16
yaws ot acre, and bed neither father nor mother. She was
born in and brought rep in Clerkenwell Workhoum and at
the Norwood School. -Since she left she had been in service
for over two years. After leaving her place she went
to live at lodgings in Ferdinand-street, Camden-town. Mrs.
Camel', the landlady, charged her at Marylebone police court
with stealing sheets, and she was remanded to the House of
Detention for a week. She was brought up at Marylebone
on Thursday week, and as Mee. Cmeell could not prove she
had stolen the sheets she was discharged. It was about halt
past 12 in the day, and else went direct from Marylebone
palies-court to Clerkenwell workhouse. She made applica-
tion to the Master of Clerkenwell workhouse to admit her.
He said he would not take her in, and she was to try end
do foe herself. She wee quite cure the master knew her, sad
also knew that eh* was destitute. She came away from
Clerkenwell workhouse • little after one o'clock, and walked
about Camden-town. She first went to St. Pancras work-
house about 7 o'clock, but the two men at the gate said they
could not give her lodgings them. She went away and Pat
one step in Oakley-square, where the policeman found her.
He took her to the workhouse about half-past 10, and the men
at the gate said they could not take her in. She remained
at the station about two hours and a half, when '
the policeman and his sergeant again took her about half-
pest one. The master was then told, and she was informed
as she belonged to " Clerkenwell," she must go there. She
was then taken by the police emend time to Clerkenwell, and
the porter refused her, saying they had no room for her there.
In answer to questions the girl stated that she had bad no
food from the time of her discharge from the House of D,-ten-
tion at half-pest eight o'clock one morning till four the nest
day. She had • married sister named Finch living in Doc-
tore-commons, but she did not go there, because when she
did so once before she was told by her sister she should not
keep her. She had part of two pinM of beer at two public-
hum, and a biscuit, with the policeman on her way from
the police-court to the workhouse. She did not ack the
police to bring her to the workhouse, but paid she would
rather go in than walk about the streets all night.
Sergeant Edwards denied the girl's statement of being
about two hours and a half In the station before befog brought
the second titne to the workhouse, and Mr. Winlo, the
master, complained of his treatment by themagistrate, who
refused to hear his explanation. He had been master twelve
month., and never had such • complaint before.
The inquiry was ultimately adjourned.
