Having oocasion ; last week to spend an evening or tve6 in Toronto, I, of COU1•86. availed myself of the opportunity thus afforded of visiting the Legislative Halls and listening to the learned (Us- cussionp of the Assembled. wisdom of On- tario. 1, therefore, take the liberty of jotting down for your columns a few of the impressions made open my mind en •the occasion of my th•st visit, to the On- tario Legislature, and giving a brief pen - and -in] sketch of a few of the mord promipent members of the House. The first night I had the honor to occupy a seat in the gallery, the question which agitated the Lessislatars was Dr. Clark's Prohibitory Licruor bill. From reading the diricussions which had taken place on the bill fol. the founding of the Inebriate Asylum, and information otherwise gain- ed, I had come to the conclusion that a majority of the members were really de- sirous that each a measure should be. come law, and that drinking usages should be entirely abolished. I must say, however, that after listening to the discussion which took place, and paying marked attention te the conduct and manners of members during the discus- sion, my former condlusions were very -materially changed. I do not doubt but there are two Or three members who are really sincere, but • the great mejority of those who space fa,vorably of the bill, did so Merely to gain a little cheap.popu- larity among a certain class of their con- stituents, and a close bbserver could not but see the feeling of relief which per- vaded the physiogs of members when the ammuncement was made that no such inea.sure could be entertained by the Legislature. For members to proclaim against the evils of intemperance oa the floor of the Reuse, and express a desire for the overthrow of the liquor traffic, and then, -upon reaching their lodgings, to indulgein hot toddy, before retiring for the night, is not calculated to inspire an unsophisticated. looker-on with a feeling of their sincerity'. From, what I have seen and heard, I have no hesitation in saying that such a measure as that pro. posed. Di. Clark could not be carried in the 'Legislature as at present consti- tuted, even suppose it had the power to deal with la unless it were taken up by G-overnmeht. Any .measure " brought forward by the Government, no matter ' what itmay be; would be sure to carry. But in the hands of private member it would have a poor show. -The first thing calculated to attract point. • He . is frequently very cuttiug and sarcastic in his remarks. Alongside of Mr. Mowat sits MR: c‘Ro Mr. Crooks occupi Treasurer. He repres in :he ,Legislature. a E' hancery lawyer, andia generally ad- mitted to be one of the best versed in Chancery law in the Province. Like many of the practitioners in. -this branch of law, he is but an indifferent speaker. Although the substa.nce of his remarks is always good, as an orator he is a fail, ure. He speaks in a low mumbling manner, and it often difficult for a . listener in the gallery to hear what he says. He is a tall. slim, black, sal- low -looking mau. His hair and whisk- ers* of which he has considerable pro- fusion, are turning grey, and he is, I should say, a mad past the prime. of life. To the right of Mr. Crooks, is the Com- missioner Crows Lamle, . ICS. s the position 6f nts West Toronto profession he is HON. R. W. SCOTT, A very plain, unassuming looking per- sonage. He wears his hair and whiskers long, and both are now turning grey. He has rather a pleasant countenance, and is, I should say,. a man much -more calcu- lated to gain personal friends than either Mr. Mowat or ME urooks. As a speaker he is rather -hesitating and rough.. lie is not by any :neans such a pleasant speaker or so convincing and clear in his arguments as Mr. Mowat:- shoula judge that he has gained- his popularity and power more by his geniality of dis- position and frankness of manner than by force of ability. Whether this is so or not, of course I am unable to say., but give it m.erely as a surmise. At the sec- ond, row of desks, inunediately to' the right of the' Speaker, sit! the Provincial Secretary and the Commissioner of Pub- lic Works. The former, HON. MR. PARDEE, Is a comparatively young man, as evell as a young politician. He represents the County of Lambton, and is one of the leading, if not the leading, members of the legal profession of the County he represents. In appearance he might al- most be taken for a brother of the mem- ber for South' Huron in the Dominion Parliament, only, perhaest considerably younger. I did not have an opportunity -of hearing him address the House, but learn that be is a very easy, pleasant pleaker, and one of the moat clever mem- bers of the Government. His neighbor, - no N.

From his appearance, I should say that the man who gets the better of him ill A bargain, or over -reaches him in a. b. uSiness teansaction, would need to 'rise a good deal earlier in the morning than he did. In short he has the exact appearance of a shrewd, speculating American farmer. But; withal he bears the House for the bast tune is the free- aod-easy style of deportment indulged in by members generally.

In fact it frequently surprised me why members should speak at all, when so' little attention was paid to what they said. In this, as in many other legislative bodies, the speaking seems to be done by a few. , I was a lit- tle surprised. at the lacie of oratorical ability displayed by most of those who took part in the discussions. From reading the speeches, as reported in the daily papers, lone woold suppose that they had been delitered in a free, easy and off -banded manner. But the very reverse is the case. There are but few really -good speakers in the House. Whatever they may be outside, in de- livering stump orations, when they at- tempt to give utterance to their senti- ments on the floor of the House, the style of delivery, in most iustaneese is about him an air of honesty Which one cannot but admire. On the opposite side of the House from the Government, atthe first desk in the frontrow, is dress. On the principle that valuable goods are usually done up m small pack- ages, a person . would not be apt to sup - poo Mr. Ferguson is very valuable. He is a large, burly -looking man, with ta coarse rough voice, and strong Irish 84 - cent. For his years he is not old-leok- ing„and. his hair has rot scarcely com- menced to turn grey. As a debater he is big in eound, but light in substs.oce. In order to come at what he wants to say, he has to go a long way around. He is not in the habit of speaking very often, but his rising to address the House is usually the signal for members to apply themselves diligently to their various oc- cupations at their desks. The last, al- thpugh by no means the least notable member of the Opposition to whom I shall allude, is MR. M. C. CA'SIERON, The Leader of the Opposition. Mr. Camerem is decidedly the most fluent and polished speaker in theHouse, and were it not for his bitter and sarcastic tone when eeferring to an opponent, it Would be it real pleasure to listen to him. Although probably an older .man than the Attorney -General, he is younger in appearance and fresher looking. He, is rather tall and slim, and when address- ing the House stands erect ,,in his place and pours forth his words in a plain un- mistakeable manner.
