LAMBETH WORKHOUSE.

Yesterday an inquiry was made at Lambeth Work-
house for the purpose of investigating the circumstances
attending upon the refusal to admit into the establish-
ment a female named Anne Griffiths, who was taken
there on the evening of Sunday, Oct. 19, being at the
time in labour. The investigation was conducted by
Sir Edmund Head, one of the Assistant Poor-law Com-
missioners, in the presence of the Board of Guardians.
Sir EDMUND briefly stated the nature of the inquiry
which had been directed by the Poer-law Commissioners
in consequence of a communication forwarded to them
complaining of the conduct of some of the officials of the
establishment. Explanations had been demanded df the
parties implicated, but they not being considered satis-
factory ho had been ordered to summon the persons
connected with the circumstances before him.
The Surgeon of the Lying-inn Hospital in the York-
road, the cabman. the unfortunate woman, and a number
of other persons, were examined, respecting the refusal
of admission at the different places, to which she was
driven by the cabman, but their evidence only confirmed
the statements made before the Magistrates, which have
already been published.
Mr. Franks, the master of the Lambeth Wolithouse,
where she was refused admission, produced an extract
from the rules and orders of the Union, one part of
which was, that paupers may be received into the work-
house without an order in cases of urgent necessity. It
appeared, however, that no means had been taknb y
the master of the workhouse or his
ew iesatou ta:aeetrt:'aila

THIRD EUREAH.

M. Lherbette said he would neither support the policy
of the late nor that of the present Cabinet, for be saw
little difference between them, except it was that the one
had endeavoured to conceal its timiditp under big words,
and that the other announced in its present language the
humility of the acts which were to come.
M. Hebert said the Speech from the Throne was digni.
tied and firm. He trusted that the address would not re-
commend the continuation of armaments.

Al. de Remusat remarked that ;;;;;), lines of policy
might be laid down as regarded affairs in the East. but
that the late Ministry had adopted that which the Chamber
had sanctioned by its votes.

A "HORSE CASE" IN FRANCE

A trial is about to take place before the tribunals in
Paris, at the suit of one of the members of the Jockey
Club established there, who has refused to abide by the
decision given on a race. The facts of the case are as
follow :—ln the spring of this year a race was announced
to come off. Among the number of horses entered was
one under the name of Tontine, out of Odelle, by Ton-
tine, born at Lisieux, and the property of M. Eugene
Aumont. This description had scarcely been entered
on the books when the genealogy of the horse was con-
tested. It was contended that its origin was English.
A groom, who had formerly lived in the service of M.
Aumont, declared that he had seen the horse arrive from
England, and had himself taken care of her. This mat-
ter was referred to the Jockey Club, who, not being
willing to take the single evidence of the groom, decided
that the description of the horse was good.
The race took place at Chantilly on the 17th of May.
Tontine found herself opposed to Jenny (belonging to
Lord Seymour), and she arrived first, beating Jenny and
the others who ran, Jenny coming in second.
All the assistants, trainers, and amateurs present
crowded round the winner, and examined her with close
attention ; the general opinion was, that Tontiue, for
the agewwhich was given her (nine days less than three
years) was a very extraordinary
animal, and that she
clearly marked four years.
In the event of Tontine's right 'to the prize being
set aside, it would belong to Lord Seymour's horse
Jenny, who came in second. He therefore opposed
the handing over the prize, and sought for all the in-
formation he could obtain as to her birth, parentage, &c.
He sent one of his grooms to Mr. Weatherby, who
was much connected with those matters in London, and
discovered an individual named Thomas, who had reared
to the age of eighteen months, a colt, which he sold to
M. Aumont, and who gave the most particular descrip-
tion of the animal, all which fully answered to that of
the winner of the prize at Chantilly. Proofs were also
given that a colt answering the description was landed
in Normandy, from England, by M. Aumont. Veteri-
nary surgeons declared that the marks decidedly showed
four years, while the certificate produced of its birth
only said three.
On the day of the races at Versailles, M. Aumont
distributed hand-bills, announcing for sale a bay filly,
three years old, by Aaron, out of young Election, mare
foaled in 1837.
She was bought by M, Palmer, who sold her again

FIRST BUREAI.

General Bugeaud admitted that the Speech from the
Throne was not of a very decided colour, but said it could
not be otherwise, as it was the work of a new Cabinet,
which was not yet thoroughly acquainted with the position
of things.
de Tocqueville said the Speech did not convey the
true feelings of the nation, acd regretted the al):.ndonment
of the cause of Mehemet Ali. M. de focqueville said he
was an advocate for peace, but surrounded as France was,
by hostile or envious nations, be did not think that the
proper course to secure the maintenance of peaca was to
show humility and resignation.
M. Davergier de Hauranne took nearly the same line cf
argument as M. de Tocqueville.

SECOND BUREAU,

M. de Coredles considered the Speech as unwortl y
the country, and complained in strong terms of the aban-
donment of the cause of the Pacha of Egypt.
M. de Tracy said he could not admit that France had
entered into any positive engagement with Mehmet Ali,
or that she had been insulted by the Treaty of the Isth of
July.
M. Patsy entered into a defence of the Ministry of the
12th of May, of which he was a Member. He said it was
not true that England had made a proposition to force the
passage of the Dardanelles. The proposition came from
France.

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR,
with REMARKS on the VARIOUS INCIDENTS
which have occurred during FORTY-FIVE YEARS of his
LIFE, and a FULL DESCRIPTION of his MODE of
TREATING DISEASES, with REASONS EXPLANA-
TORY of HIS SYSTEM.
By SAMUEL WESTCOTT TILKE,
Medical Herbalist, Author of " Random Reflections •n In-
digestion, Gout, Tenia Capitis, Scarlet Fever," &c. &c.
" Mr. Tilke is one of those individuals who, born with a
wooden spoon in their mouths, have, by the alchemy of thrift and
industry, converted it into silver. He began the world as a jour.
neyman baker, but every intermission from the labour of the knead.
ing trough, was devoted to the pursuit of medical science. Any
man who makes such unceasing efforts as he has done to allevia e
the sufferings of humanity, is entitled to honourable mention."—
Times, Nov. 3.
" In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man,
whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer
dint of perseverance, and showing a gallant front to misfortune,
had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success.
The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accorn-
plished by energy and good conduct; and it is written in a cheerful
and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has
effected a ♦ariety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout,
rheumatism, and indigestion. His mode of treating some of these
diseases is fully described in the course of his Memoir, and he has
added reasons explanatory of his system, so that he who runs may
read."—The Sun, Nov. 5.

NEW ZEALAND.

Sydney papers furnish us with news from New Zea-
land to the 25th of March.

The new settlement at Port Nicholson does not ap-
pear to have been well chosen, to judge front the fact
that two days- rain completely flooded it, so as to render
it necessary to have boats to convey the people from
their huts. A great part of the temporary buildings
had been swept away by the storm.
The situation of newly arrived emigrants, haring only
the privilege of squatting on the beach under a tent,
having no location nor allotted portion of land to reside
on, and the daily expense of subsistence running out
the 'tittle means left on a high rate, and threatened
scarcity, is very distressing, and miserable in the ex-
treme. The number of emigrants arrived was about
two thousand, and daily increasing, which must tend to
raise the price of every article of consumption. The
following were the prices of some articles at Port Ni-
cholson, on the 20th of March :—Potatoes, 101. par
Beuo;
ton ; Flour, 50/. per ton ; Pork, 6d. per Ih. ; no

how to define man, so as to distinguish him from other

MAP OF CHINA.

AT WAR WITH CHINA-WHERE
IS CHINA? VERY FEW CAN TELL.

The Sun Newspaper will soon answer the question
by publishing a Beautiful, Large, and Highly
Correct MAP of CHINA, with a Complete
History of that Extensive Empire, and its
Singular People.
THE MAP will nearly occupy a page of The Sun,
It is got up under the special Superintendence of
the celebrated Mr. JAMES WYLD, Geographer
to her MAJESTY the QUEEN. It comprehends
also a large portion of India, from the Mouths of
the Ganges—the Islands in the Bay of Bengal—
Birmali —Assam Thibet— Nepaul —Cochin
China—Canton, and the immense Islands and
Bays along the coast of China to PEKIN,
situated One Hundred and Twenty Miles inland
from the confines of the Yellow Sea.
The next News from China is expected to be ex-
ceedingly interesting and decisive. The Island
of CHUSAN, the first point of attack by the
Expedition, commands the great Bay of Nankin,
from which the Imperial Canal communicates
with Pekin, the Capital of the Empire. Chusan
is about half way between Canton and Pekin.

lONIAN ISLANDS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.
MR. EDITOR—By an article in your paper of the 2d inst..
I ace that I am accused of being the author• of a letter
which appeared in the Morning Chronicle of the 19th Sep•
tember, signed " 1(0011./J77.1T0c."
I distinctly deny being its author, or that I have any
knowledge of the person who wrote it.
The same article also asserts that I assume titles to
which I have no pretensions.
The title of " Count" has been officially recognised in
my person by the authorities of my country, whether na-
tive or British, and under it I signed the Constitutional
Charter of the lonian States. I was designated by it in
the letters patent which created me a member of the order
of St. Michael and St. George, and I was presented un-
der the same title to his Royal Highness the Prince Re-
gent, by the late Lord Castlereagh, in 1816.
By referring to the statutes of the order of St. Michael
and St. George, on its first institution in 1819, it will be
seen that the members of the three classes were entitled to
assume the English appellation of " Sir." That right
was, by the snore recent statutes of 1832, confirmed to
those members who had been, prior to that time, invested,
though it was then denied to such persons as should be
subsequently admitted into the third class of the order.
But 1 was among the earliest knights created, and have
consequently always legally borne the English appellation
" Sir," which was, moreover, applied to me by Sir George
Nayler and Sir Harris Nicolas, the chancellors of the order,
in their official correspondence. . .

These proofs, wit6ut adducing many ancient docu.
ments in support of my right to the title of " Count,"
which are in illy possession, suffice to show that I have not
" abusively assumed" either the one or the other of these
titles.

As to the remainder of the paragraph, it appears to me,
that a person who has set ved the lonian Government, un-
der British protection, for eighteen years, in the distin-
guished situations that I have held, need not condescend
to any explanation.
I cannot doubt that you, Sir, as a just and impartial
Editor, not wishing to give the weight of your journal to
a calumny, will insert this letter at the earliest opportu-
nity.-1 am, Sir, your obedient servant,

THE BATH CHARTISTS.

FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES.
(Abridged from the Letter of a Correspondent.)
BATH, FEB. 6.—On Monday night a wiry large meet-
ing was held, and it was announced that the lives of the
prisoners had been spared. Never before did I bear such
a burst of enthusiasm ao followed the announcement; and
I firmly believe that, did the Government wish to crush
Chartism, or the dangers of Chartism, no wiser policy
could they adopt than to grant a free pardon to the whole
of the incarcerated Chartists. But equally great was the
dissatisfaction which followed the announcement that the
Government was determined to transport them for life.
Shouts of " They had better lose their lives," We'll have
another Dorchester procession," resounded from all parts.
On Wednesday evening another meeting was held. A
high eulogy was passed on Lord Brougham and Mr.
Leader, by Mr. Roberts, for their conduct in reference to
Frost, Wiiliams, and Jones. These men bad no pleasant
task to perform when they stood up it the Lords and Com-
mons, and had to battle, almost alone, against the proceed-
ings of the Government. He coni'eived it to be the duty
of the people to acknowledge their gratitude for the part
these men had taken. He would, with their leave, read
an address of thanks to Lord Brougham. After reading the
address, which was warmly responded to, he proposed that
addresses be forwarded to Lord Brougham and Mr
Leader, expressive of the thanks of this meeting for the
manner in which they acted.
At the time I now write, a requisition is preparing call-
ing on the Mayor to grant them the use of the Corn Mar-
ket, for a public meeting on Monday next.

RAILWAYS -TRANSMISSION OF
PARCELS.

Mr. WALLACE said he had a petition to present
which was of the greatest importance. It was from
upwards of 1,700 persons in the carrying trade—of,
London, Manchester, Sheffield, Leicester, Northamp-
ton, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Worcester, Oxford.
Warwick, Coventry, the Potteries, Lymington, and
Walsall,—complaining that they were precluded,
in a great measure, from the use of the Rail.
ways. They stated that the Acts passed for the
establishment of Railways, had given the proprietors
of Railways power to effect monopolies in the carriage of
parcels, which had been exceedingly injurious to the
petitioners' trade. And they prayed the House, in
the course of the present Session, to alter the law as
to Railways, so as to allow for an open com-
petition among the carriers of the United Kingdom.
He was precluded, from the forms of the House, from
making any observations in support of the prayer of the
petition, but he considered it of so much importance,
that he should move that it be submitted to the Select
Committee on Railways.—Agreed to.
Lord JERMYN presented a petition from Suffolk
against the Grant to Maynooth College.
Lord SANDON presented two different petitions.
from the Mayor and Corporation of Liverpool against
two Dock Bills, the names of which we could not catch.

inhabitants of Banff, praying the House to take mea-
sures against the intrusion of unacceptable ministers in
the Church.

THE CASE OF THOROGOOD.
Mr. ROWLAND ALSTONE presented petitions
from several places in Essex, complaining of the treat-
ment of John Thorogoud, and praying for the abolition
of the judicial powers of Ecclesiastical Courts.

The Lord Chamberlain has received so many more ap-
