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 drunk in silence, 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
xr
n. mHammill,
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.—WO 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
51 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.
