Steamship Company's first-class powerful Steamships 'eave, as undermentioned, with or without pilots, to tow vesse!s, e Steamships THE DEPARTURE OF MR. G. F. TRAIR FROM MELBOURNE A number of the principal merchants of the city , understanding that Mr. G. F. Train, of the firm of Train and Co., the agents for the celebrated "White Star" Line of ships, contemplated his departure from the colony for awhile, determined on giving that gentleman a dejeuner in the Criterion Hotel, as a mark of that high respect and' honour in which they held his public service in the eStab. lishment of the port, &c., and his private virtues as a man and a citizen. About forty gentlemen sat down to a splendidly laid out dejeuner in the Criterion Hotel, which was presided over by William 'lemma?, Esq , the vice president being one of our most distinguished colonists, William Westgartb, Esq. Among the company present, we noticed the American Consul, J. W. Tarleton, Esq ; the Honourable the Collector of Customs ; the Honourable the Surveyor-General; Messrs. Furlongo, G Badman, and A'Beckett, M.L.C.'s, and the principal merchants of the city. After the usual loyal toasts had been proposed and duly carried, the band playing the national airs,— The Chairman proposed the President of a mighty nation, who had a worthy representative in that assembly, the President of the United States. TAE CORPORATION OF LONDON REFORM BILL The corporation of the city of London have fought valiantly for their customs, privileges, end rights. ror oerituries they have withstood assaults from without and from within. but at last their time is come, and they cannot longer resist the determination of the Legislature. A bill, has, therefore, been prepared by the Home Secretary for the reform of the corporation, and is shortly to be introduced, based, almost entirely, on the report and recommendations of the commissioners of inquiry who sat in 1854. It is said that the bill will confer a nevi- charter, containing all such provisions i n existing charters of the corporation of London, and all such customs of the city, as are expedient to preserve. The mode of election of Lord Mayor is to be altered; Instead of being chosen by the Court of Aldermen he will be elected by the Common Council. The aldermen, instead of being elected for life, are to be chosen for only six years, eligible, however, for re-election. They will be elected by the burgesses of the wards, and not by the common councilmen. They will be justices of the peace ; but it is said that the powers of the Municipal Corporation Act, with respect to the appointment of stipendiary magistrates are to be extended to the rity of London, so that a shall have probably two, if not more. paid magistrates fur London, instead of the aldermen sitting in rotation. It is also proposed to abolish the present twenty-six wards, and to reduce their number to sixteen, to be so arranged that the area and population of each shall, as far as possible, be made equal. Each ward will return one alderman and five common council men; the qualification to be that prescribed by the Municipal Corpiration Act for the larger class of boroughs. The election in common hall will probably be abolished The sheriffs will be elected by the Cordincrn Council THE COMMITTEE OF THE NIGHTIN GALE FUND. The committee beg to report, that, in pursuance of the resolution adopted at the public meeting held on the 29th of November last, at Willis's Rooms, a copy of the pro decdings was sent to Miss Nightingale, and she was requested.---if the offer to place at her disposal a fund to , enable her to establish an institution for the training , sustenance, and protection of nurses and hospital atten dants, met with her approval—to name a council to co operate with her for that object. We have the satisfaction to announce that Miss Night ingale has signified her cordial acceptance of the proposal made to her, and has selected from the list of the com mittee the names of the gentlemen whom she wishes to act as 11 ,, ,r council. We think it will be gratifying to the subscribers to the Fund, and to the public generally—and but just to Miss Nightingale herself—to give publicity to her acknowledgement of the sympathy which has 13,! 441 - expressed, and the confidence which has been reposed in' her, by persons representing every class and every opinion in the country. She writes as follows, Scutari Barrack Hospital, Jan. 6. Dear Mr. Herbert,.—ln answer to your letter (which followed me to the Crimea and back to Scutari) proposing" to me the undertaking of a training school for nurses, I will first beg to say that it is impossible to me to express what I have felt in regard to the sympathy and the confi dence shown to me by the originators and supporters of this scheme. Exposed as lamto be misinterpreted and misunderstood, in a field of action in which the work is new, complicated, distant from many who sit in judgment upon it; it is indeed an abiding support to have such sympathy, and such an appreciation brought. home to me• in the midst of labour and difficulties all but overpower ,- ing. I must add, however, that my present work is such a.s , I would never desert for any other, so long as I see room , to believe that what I may do here is unfinished. May I thee beg you to express to the committee that I accept their proposal, provided that I may do so on their understanding of this great uncertainty as to when it will be possible to me to carry it out. I beg to name the following to act as my council, in conjunction with yourself and Mr. Bracebridge, Lord Ellesmere, Colonel Jebb, Sir James Clark, Mr. Bowman, the Dean of Hereford, Sir Johu M‘Neill, Dr. Bence Jones. With regard to the general committee, 1 thank nail' friends for the offer of making any additions to it which I might suggest, but I am perfectly satisfied with it as it stands. )ale.street, th )ns re ailt at li,,rnosan a Sweden, 4 te.t 1-10th ; depth, 13 d w..s coppered last year, Unit a fptattsi.

P. SCHILIZZI, JUN., 8 Brunswick-buildings. s:rotlant. J. W. Tarleton, Esq., the American consul, who was received with prolonged cheering, said he was always very much gratified to hear his country toasted, but on the pre sent occasion it afforded him a peculiar pleasure. They were there for a special purpose, to do honour to a gentle man who was about to leave their shores, and they had among them the representatives of every great interest i❑ the colony. The Government were there. Members of the legislative council were there; and gentlemen competent to be members of the legislative council were among them. They bad representatives of the squatting , interest, and he supposed, of the anti-squatting interest; a large portion of the members of the chamber of commerce, a body which bad a great deal to do with the interests and progress of the colony, and they had also a 'mall interest, a very small one, of Uncle Sam. (Hear, and cheers.) He was much obliged to them for the complimentary manner in which the president had proposed the toast, and the enthusiastic manner in which it had been received. It was especially gratifying to him that the political head of his country should be received in so handsome a manner in an English colony, and he could assure them that he could see no good reasons why anything should take place to disturb the amicable relations which existed between them. (Cheers.) He trusted to God he should never see the day when friendly relations between the two great countries of England and America would ever he interrupted, but as their time was precious, and the " Train" about to leave, he would not occupy their time with any further obscurities. The Chairman next proposed the health of his Excellency the Governor of V . ic'oria, which was d run k i n s il ence, not so much as a cheer having been raised. The toast of the Army and Navy was responded to on the part of the army by Capt. Clarke, R.E., Surveyor-general. Capt. Matthews, R.N., late of the Great Britain, returned thanks on behalf of the navy. The Chairman said it now became his pleasing duty to propose to them the toast of the day, and in doing so he must claim their patience for a minute or two. (Cheers.) tithough the gentleman in whose honour they had met, and who was about to leave them, was an American, he was sure they would interpret aright the feelings which pervaded the mind of every English merchant in the city, when they expressed their desire to co-operate in every way with the mercantile body of that nation, and he was certain that they could not have chosen any gentleman whose conduct and career was calculated to reflect more substantial credit on the country to which he belonged than Mr. G. F. Train. (Great cheering.) Whether they referred to his career as a merchant, or to his agreeable qualities as a citizen, he was sure there was not a man any-where who did not sincerely and heartily regret his depar ture. (Cheers.) Be did not desire to utter any fulsome compliments on Mr. Train, or on American citizens, but he was assured that a certain dash of American enter prise, combined with English capital and solidity, would build up a strong and vigorous nation in the colony. Mr. Train had been his fellow-labourer in the duties which devolved upon the Chamber of Commerce, and had assisted in every conceivable way in the establishment of the per manent interests of the colony; and he much feared they could ill afford to part with a gentleman who had done so much, and who had devoted so much time to the interests of the colony at large. This much he would observe of the friend who was leaving them, that whether in Australia, or in the United States, he was destined to act no inconsi derable figure in the proceedings of the country in which his lot was cast. He begged to propose to them the health of Mr. Train, and his speedy return; should he not return —then prosperity wherever he goes. (Great cheering.) Band—" Cheer, boys, cheer !" Mr. G. F. Train was received with loud and prolonged cheering. He said he could not make a speech that day, for at last he found himself in a position in which his tongue refused to act. The words came crowding to his lips, bot the emotions which he experienced choked their utterance. His thoughts would not out. They all knew the workings of the heart, and therefore would know how to make allowance for him at a time when his thoughts lay too deep for utterance. (Cheers.) His bosom swelled with honest pride at the fact that such a body of friends had rallied round him on his departure from these shores, to greet him with their good wishes, and tr , bid him God speed on his journey home. His had been but a short sojourn among them, but sufficiently long for him to succeed in obtaining their earnest good wishes, and to carry home with him the respect and confidence of the community among whom he had especially mixed. (Cheers.) It was scarcely three short years ago when he bade good bye to kind friends in his native country, and set out for a distant land which had an indistinct place upon the chart, and the information about which was as barren as any of their inland towns. As he landed on the wharf, the whole aspect was of the most cheerless nature, and his thoughts were that he had at last arr;ved at that undiscovered country, "The bourre frcm which no traveler returns." (Laughter.) True, he met with people who spoke the same language, and who worshipped the same Creator, but he felt himself a stranger on strange soil. It was not long, however, before he was made to feel that the s - mpathies of his kind were extended to the stranger ; and the kind ness he had since received had been almost universal. There was only one place that he was aware of where American citizens were not received, and that was at Toorak. The American consul was the only one of their nation received there, the other members of that country having to be satisfied with leaving their cards. With this exception, he had been treated since he came into the colony with the utmost kindness and good feeling, in re turn for which he had endeavoured to be a useful citizen and a good Australian. (Cheers.) He had never inter fered in their political affairs, but in all matters of com mercial reform he had never been backward, and it was most gratifying to him that his humble efforts had met with their kind approval, and that his name would continue to live in their memory. (Cheers.) No matter to what country or clime his fortune or his fate directed him, he should always take a deep interest in the prosperity of the colony of Victoria ; a colony which he entered when there were no wharves, railroads, telegraphs, or anything commensurate with its greatness, but which now had wharves down the Yarra ; warehouses lining the streets ; railways planted in the soil ; and gas works ready to throw a light over them all. Mr. Train concluded a speech, which was marked throughout with much elegance of words and style, by predicting that Victoria would shine as a star of the first magnitude under the auspices of the New Constitution. He thanked them most heartily, and sincerely for the honour they had done him in giving him so substantial a mark of their . approba tion, and assured them that it would be the pride of •his life to refer to the hearty enthusiasm with which his friends in Victoria had greeted his departure from among them. Mr. Train resumed his seat amid great and long-continued cheering. The Honourable the Collector of Customs proposed— " The commercial prosperity of the colony of Victoria," and referred to the importance of the port of Melbourne as being second only to those of London and Liverpool. He begged to couple with the toast the name of the vice-presi dent, Mr. Westgarth. (Ch.;ers.) Mr. Westgarth was received with cheers. After paying a high compliment to the collector of customs for his urbanity, and the readiness he had always shown to give the fullest information connected with his department, Mr. Westgarth remarked on the commercial importance of the colony, and claimed for Victoria the honour of being the first colony in the British empire. Mr. A'Beckett, M L.C., in a short but pithy speech, pro posed the toast of " The Press." He enlarged upon the value and importance of an independent Press, and stated it to be his opinion that the Press of the colony was honest and independent. (Cheers.) Mr. Mackinnon, in returning thanks, said they were indebted to American boys for the introduction of the practice of shouting " Morning's Age," "Morning's Herald," and " Morning's Argus." The Press was also much indebted for its circulation on the diggings to American conveyances; and ho could scarcely look upon x r n. m Hammill, Eig , as President of the Chamber of any branch of industry, or mercantile pursuit, which had not been improved by American enterprise and American e The Vice-Chairman proposed the health of the Chairman Commerce. Other toasts were also proposed and responded to. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—W O under stand that the half-yearly accounts, to the 31st of December last, have been made up, and that the balance of net profits will enable the directors to declare a di - . idend at the rate of 5 1 per cent. per annum, and add some £40,000 to the reserve carried over from last June account. That absurd and unjust bye-law of the corporation, by which none but freemen are allowed to carry on any trade, or practice any handicraft, within the city, is to be abolished, and the city will be thrown open to all. The metage of grain, fruit, and other measureable goods, will be no longer compulsory ; and it is intended to abolish the Society of Fellowship Porters, with all its obsolete and unjust privileges. The city police will probably be incorporated with the met*opolitau police. The conser vancy of the Thames, which is now confided to the Lord Mayor, will be transferred to a board consisting, pro bably, of the Lord Mayor, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the President of the Board of Trade, the Deputy Master of the Trinity House, and the First Commissioner of Woods. With respect to the Irish Society, it will probably be dissolved, and the manage ment of its enormous estates be transferred to trustees nominated by the Lord Chancellor. A special act will, of course, be passed, declaring the character and extent of the several trusts. The fo►►rpenny tax upon coal, which expires in 1862, will probably not be renewed, and thus this source of grievance will be got rid of. Such are some of the principal alterations proposed to be made under the new bill. In the House of Commons, and the House of Lords, the corporation have many friends, and it may be relied on that the measure will meet with every possible kind of opposition that that body so well knows how to rase. The government will, nevertheless, be this time firm, and not be induced, as heretofore, to give way to the corporation. NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 6, 1856, Rugtria.

The LIVERPOOL &PRESTON SCREW STEAM TREATMENT OF A MILLINER In the Queen's Bench, on Friday, was tried Greaves v. Sowerby. It was an action for false imprisonment. The plaintiff, Miss Eliza Greaves, lives in the establish ment of Miss Deacon, milliner, 11, Bruton-street, and the defendants were Messrs. Sowerby, of Sowerby and Talton, Regent-circus.—Miss Eliza Greaves, whose mode of giving evidence excited the utmost interest in her favour, si.id : I am the daughter of Lieutenant Greaves, late of the Fusilier Guards. He is an assistant Poor law Commissioner. I was employed in the establish ment of Madame Deacon, 11, Bruton-street, Berkeley square. She is a milliner. I have been in her establisment nine months. I have a sister named Olivia in an establishment in George street, Hanover square. On the 16th of October I borrowed 6s. of my sister. I did not look at the money. It was two half-crowns and a shilling. I had occasion to make some small pur chases, and went to Messrs. Sowerhy and Tattoo's, in Regent-circus. I purchased several articles, and gave two half-crowns in payment. I had to wait some time, and the two young men asked me had I received my change ? I said no, and a policeman then came in with Mr. Wilson, the cashier. The policeman said he must take me into custody for passing bad money. I told him I did not know it was bad, that I had borrowed it from my sister, and I gave him my sister's address, No. 9, George's-street. Hanover-square, which is within five minutes walk of defendant's shop, and entreated them to go there and see if what I had said was correct. Mr. Wilson said he would not hear a word from me. A crowd had collected. :It was eight o'clock, and I was taken through the crowd, and kept in the street ten minutes, till Mr. Wilson and ,Miss Flatman, who had served me with the goods, could join us. It was very wet under foot, and I was then brought to the station and searched by the female searcher, who took everything off me, and opened my mouth to search it ! I was kept standing on the cold stones whilst my clothes were searched, and my shoes and stockings were off. I was kept in a cell for three hours, when Mr. Deacon (brother to Miss Deacon, with whom I reside) came, and the inspector allowed him to take me home in a cab. Next morning I was put into the dock in the police office, and was charged with passing bad money. Air. Wilson and Miss Flatman persisted in the charge, hut the money was proved to be good. I had been in delicate health previous to that evening. Cross-examined : The magistrate sent the half-crowns to Dr. Parkes to have them tested, and they were found to be good. Witness saw an apology published by Messrs. Sowerby in the 7 7 ;n2e$ and Morning _Post; they offered £5 compensation in the first instance, and £lO afterwards. Part of the apology in the paper was not true. It says I was released on the appearance of my s'ste-, but I was not released till Mr. Deacon came. Olivia Greaves said lam the sister of the plaintiff. On the 16th of October last, my sister borrowed some money of m•. I gave her two half-crowns and a shilling. That evening a policeman came, and I went with them to Mrs. So werby's. It was about half-past i.ine o'clock. I told Mr. Sowerby I had given my sister the money a short time before, and I knew it was good. I told him how it had been dis coloured ; that I had some quicksilver in my pocket. He said it was too late to interfere that night; they were taking bad money every day, and they must make an example of some one. I asked him if my sister was to be in prison all night, and he said, " Yes." He then whispered to the policeman and the other gentleman. I then left the shop. John Chis well, the police constable, corroborated the evidence of the plaintiff in the statement that she had given her right address and the address of her sister, and that she had repeatedly requested the shopman to send to her sister's to ascertain the truth. It had been raining, and it was rather damp. Witness had ascertained that the plaintiff's statement about the money was correct, and he went to a chemist to have the money examined. He then went to Mr. Sowerby, and told him he had found her statement to be correct. He said he was very sorry the money was good 1 but he had left it in Mr. Wilson's hands, and wished her to be let out on bail. I am sub poenaed by Mr. Haines (defendant's attorney). My statement was taken down in the presence of the inspector. Mr. Deacon said he went to the station about eleven o'clock, and found the plaintiff crying and agitated. The inspector said he thought the money was good, and took witness's bail. Here Mr. James suggested to Sergeant Wilkins to leave the decision of the case to the judge. Sergeant Wilkins : So be it. Lord Camp bell then said as the law now stood the judge was bound to try a case, if both sides wished him to do so; and as both the learned counsel have consented, he was ready to take that course. His opinion was, that the sum of £lO was not sufficient. He had na doubt about the respectability of the defendants,' and that they meant to do what was right, and that this was a case of suspicion, but he thought they had conducted them selves very harshly and inconsiderately. The appearance of this young woman spoke for itself; he might say she brought a letter of recommendation with her. Never since he was a judge, or at the bar, had he seen a witness whose conduct in the box was more unexceptionable. Under all the circumstances he was of opinion that the plaintiff ought to have an additional £lO. Verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, £2O. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins asked his Lordship to certify for a special jury, which his Lordship said he would do accordingly. • PRACTICAL JOKING.—Most of our readers know that for some time past Dr. Mill has been lecturing in this town on medicine and the various sci , nces with which it is connected. Now, we are innocent in a great measure of a knowledge of the truth or falsehood of what he says about the various schools of medicine, and hope that we may ne ver h ave to put any of them to the test (his ownincluded) practically ; but all who have heard him must acknowledge that, as a popu lar scientific lecturer, the doctor has few rivals. Well, some of our medical men, offended perhaps by what he has said, or by the popularity of an unorthodox practitioner, have shown symptoms of irritation, and a couple of embryo M.D.'s resolved upon testing his medical skill. They accord ingly called up on hi m, a nd one o f t h em , a fi ne healthy young man, with a rogu i sh eye, complained of certain pains in the chest, a cough, night sweats, &c. The doctor heard his tale, asked a number of questions, and, after a long diagnosis, declared him to be in a deep consumption. This was just what was wanted, and the young gents could ha r dl y control their mirth while Dr. Mill it up an wrote his presc r i p ti on, sealed in envelope, and directed it to on e o f our first chemists, pocketed his fee, and bowed them out o f t h e room. To the chemist's they rushed to enjoy th e pen t- up laug7 , and handing him the note, . he read :—"This young ma n is suffering from cerebra her n ia in the region marked self-esteem' by phrenologists. Pray therefore give him common sense ii grains ; wit, i dracham ; horsewhip, ad libitum.—J. M. We hardly expect the doctor will get another professional patient here. —Banbury Advertiser. Believe me to be, yours very truly, FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE. All doubt, therefore, which may have existed in the minds of any as to Miss Nightingale's acc.'Ptance of the proposals is now at an end. The object to w hieh the fun d is to be applied—and which has met with 'uoh strong support from all classes—has received the sancti t 'a ot Miss Nightingale herself. YESTERDAY'S MARKETS, LIVERPOOL CORN.—We had more buyers in atten dance at our market this morning, and a further conces sion in the prices of wheat, making a 'reduction of 6d to. 8d per bushel since this day week, induced transactions, but on the whole to only a moderate amount. Choice' parcels of red American brought 103 3d, and white Ile 2d per 70lbs. ; these rates are, however, still above the views of the more extensive class of purchasers. Flour sellers would have accepted a further decline of is 6d per barrel and 23 per sack, but the trade in this article con tinued to rule very flat, and nothing of consequence could be done. We reduce our quotations, on the week, for barley 3d,',oats 3d per bushel, Egyptian beans 2s 6d per qr, oatmeal 2s per load, for all of which there exists a very slow demand. Indian corn is again slacker, and the value giving way, 36s being accepted for small parcels of mixed American.—Arrivals from Jan. 29 to Feb. 4, inclusive.
