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 in
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.
