Dawson (Secretary), waited upon Hon. Oliver Muwat„ and MOSSrti. Crooks, rraser and Wood, in reference to the proposed legielation on the license ques- tion. The secretary read ten addree,s embodying the following suggestions : That the existing law reepectiug the closing on Saturday night and Sunday ttre not carried oat,especielly unlicensed Ileums. That the Crooks' act is on the whole fair, and if strietly citrried ont would greatly decrease intemperance.— That no license should be given te any house not having tne accomodation re- quired by law, and that the License In- spector should make visits mice a quarter. That there shonld be a cer- tain number of bona fide rooms for trai-ellers. That the character of per- son end houee-should be fully ascer- temed. Teat unlicensed hthises should etrictly wetched, and the law stem, gently enforeed in regard to the quite- tny bole in groceries ane to drinking on the premises, or should be with- drawe altogether fretn persons combien beg the sale of groceries and liquore.— That any perseu bolding a license con - victee of sellieg contrary tu for the first offence be filled, for the second of- fence the license be suspEnded for sixty days, and third offence be cancelled al- together. That Government Litepeceore be appointed for the suppression of un- licensed groceries and gambling hoeses. That persona found drinking; in pro- hibited houses be liable to the same punishment as the liquor-sellere. That bona, fide travellers be supplied with liquor ut any time. That licensed houses be allowed to keep open till nine o'clock on Saturday nights ; that the fine for selling liquor dude°. prohibited hours be doubled or treble c.

Exclamations of surprise, and rjeerdations of wonder were emitted from the visitors general- ly. The mary fine Imildings which London is justly proud of, were viewed with admiration. In the afternoon de- tatchments of the committee showed the visitors through the various whole- sale houses, manufactories, and other points of interest. The very efficient Fire Depart 130115 of which the "Forest City " is possessee, turned mit in full force about 4 o'clock, and to the assem- bled multitude gave eufficient evvlence of their ability to eubdue the devouring element.
