We hope we have heard the last oe the Proton "Outrage." A whole clay was spent over it last week in the On- tario Parliament, and it has surely now received its quietus. The members of Mr. Blake's Government have been com- pletely exonerated from the calumniee which have been heaped upon them by Lauder, Ryikert and others. There was never any ground for the assaults made upon Reform Ministers by those who it appears have no character to lose, The Attorney' General introduced a series of resolutions relating to the matter in question, on Tuesday last, and the oppo- aition were only able to muster 17 votes against them.

Smith seconded by Mr. Sloan. that the number of tavern licences be limited to ten. Ur. Gibbons thought, we had not sufficient hotel accomodation in summer. He moved that 12 taverh licenses be granted. •, Mr. Gardiner seconded the Motion. Mr. Sloan thought there was plenty of hotel accent -iodation •in town for the travell.ng public. He was opposed to licensi::g saloons which would not ac - corned oe summer visieors ,and.if there was any profit to be derived from' the sale of 14/nor it should go to the hotel keepers who were obliged to furnish stabling for a certain number of horses, often at a loss. Mr. Watson thought the temperance man were inconsistent. They wonld iniit saloon licenses but were qUite willing to grant licenses to shops where people could purchase liquor and take it home, He looked upon home drinking as the worst kind of dissipation, as those vho indulged in it set a bad oxample to heir children. He did not think tem- perance bodies accomplished much good after all, and looked upon their pro- eedings as child's play to great extent. Mr. NV. G. Smith had last year voted against saloons but the plan had proved failure. The tavern keepers were in avor cf granting saloon licenses. The aloons had sold all year without_ license nd a certain liquor dealer bad told bine hat the saloon keepers had been better ustomers last year than ever before. Mr. Gardiner thought thepractice of' emperance men did'nt agree with their rinciples. He was in favour of grant - ng licenses to saloons. Mr. A. Smith denied the insinuation f MrGardinerthatthe professed temper- nce men were guilty of taking a "sly lass." Mr. Smaill was not a teetotaller but as opposed to'drieking and would vote gainst granting licenses to houses with - at proper accomodation for the trayel- ing public. Mr. Detlor held similar views. ,Mr. Doyle. agreed with Mr. Gibbons s to the want of hotel accomodation in ummer, but thought the ivorst way to ecure it was to take away the most rofitable part of the bumness from the otel keepers. The latter did not want aloon licenses to be granted, and two f the principal ones in town had told im so. It would be absurd to grant Mr. Bingham Min. Mack and tether laces of a like kind, hotel licenses, as heir premises were not suited for otels. The shutting up of a certain aloon he could mention had done erne good The , more drinking laces there were the more drinking here would be. He contended there as no necessity for saloons as the ublic could be sufficiently accomodated y hotels. He had been taunted with eying favoured the establishineet of a istilleryt but that would not increase rinking in. the slightest degree.

ANOTHER RAILWAT SCHEME. -A num- h ber of towns have been agiteting for an 8 extension of the Credit Valley Railway .L° westward from Galt in their own direc- tion. The latest scheme is that that road should be extended through St. Mary's P to Goderich or Bayfield on Lake Huron. An exchange says: "A " public meeting was held in St. s Marys, a few evenings ago, at which the o propriety of taking steps to secure an ,P extension of the Credit Valley Railway, from Woodstock to that town, was fa- W Yorably considered. Mr. George Laid- P, law, the promoter of the Credit Valley ou scheme, had been interviewed, hull had ", expressed himself .very favorably im- • ", pressed with the St. Marys extension. " The proposition is, we believe, to carry the extension from Woodetock to St. ; Marys, and from thence to Lake Huron, to touch that point either at Hayfield or .GoLdoesrsiezhs.By" enz LATE PIRE.-The fol- s lowing are the losses by the late fire as near as we can ascertain them; Geo.

Mark Whitley, sworn. -Am nighlt conataele. On Monday night last 5 passed round the square 10 or la minutes before I saw the fire. ,Whe opposite Crabb's buildings I heard as voice and when I got opposite Cattle'a Drug Store, I saw smoke rising and light in the direction of Acheson's block. I called to the other constable to ring the bell and open the doors of the engine house, and I went round the square shouting fire. I saw a woman in her night dress on the side walk opposite Mrs. McMullen's. She aeltell if I could iiteont,sr.ender some assistance to get the_ things out. I went into Mrs. McMul There were some girls there. Mr. Bingham came in immediately with twe pails of water.

S'aw two persona walking leisurely towards the fire which I saw was in Acheson's buildings. Mrs. Warnock was on the side walk 111 her night dress and bare feet. .Went into her store and saw there was no fire there. Asked Mrs. Warnock if she had any water. She gave me a pail.. I took it into Mrs. NIcMullen's where I saw fire coming through a window from the side towards Waddell s. Threw tho water on it which checked it. Went from there to the front of Yeaddeles office and found the door fast so I went into McKenzie's shop where I saw the fire coming through. Saw it was too far gone to be put out, so I loeked round to see if I could assist in saving his stock. It ap- peared to be pretty well cleared out so. I went back and assisted Mrs. Warnock. When I was in Mrs. McMullen's did. not notice any one there. Can't say who the parties were who were en- gaged in carrying out McKenzie's atock. Douglas McKenzie, sworn. -On Tees - day morning last my brother Roderick weakened me by calling fire. I ran down stairs and set to work to save my stock. My brother sleeps down stairs in the back shop. I did not see him when he wakened me as I was confused being awakened out of my sleep. My bed- room is up stairs io the back corner neit Waddell's. et y brother had the key of the shop that night. He wm in at 9 o'clock that night and was not out again so far as I know.

My brother went to Stratford yesterday. He was learning his trade with me. I told him the night of the fire he could try to gei another -situation. I intend to start again if I can get a place. My brother has wanted to go away for snme time. I had no dispute with him. I started business about 3 years ago. I put in er $1400. It was my own money. I do not sell goods on commission. My liabilities are not large. I kept a dog which was usually shut up in the back kitchen. He barked if tbere was any disturbance. He was there that night so far as I know.

We all got up and I went to that side of the house and °stied Roderick McKenzie but got ho answer. I then called Douglas Mc- Kenzie but got np answer. We all went into the front shop. I tried to open the front door but could not. I then broke the front window and knocked down the shutter. Roderick McKenzie was on the sidewalk. He spoke ane I recogniz- ed the voice. He said the place was on fire. He was fully dressed. My daughter got the door open. I saw Mrs Warnock in her night dress. ehe was ealling for water. A mart came in and threw two pails of water which were' brought, on the fire where'll was coming through. Roderick McKenzie and Percy Bell were the last to leave my place that night. Can't say how long that- was before ehe fire broke out. Heard some one in the yard behind about half an hour before we went to bed. Thought it was McKenzie's dog. The dog always barked wben auyone carne about the yard. Roderick eleKenzie had time to dress between the time I called him and his appearance on the sidewalk.

I gave up the key of the office I rented from Geo. Acheson the Friday previous to the fire. I had not used the office for 10 or 12 days before. The inquest was then adjourned, and the Coroner issued his warrant for the apprehension of Roderick McKenzie who had left town.

Howuses Suserrrran-A COMPROMISE BETWEEN TDB FIA.RBOUR AND RAILWAY INTERESTS -A DOUBLE BY-LAW, $15,- 000 FOR THE RAILWAY AND $15,000 FOR THE HARROUR—THE R.ABBOUR BONUS CONDITIONAL. At a meeting of the Stanley Townebip Council, held at Varna, on Tuesday last, the much -vexed question of submitting a by-law granting a bonus to the propos- ed London, Huron and Bruce Railway wail settled. It seems that, hitherto, a division existed in ihe Council. Two of the members have been favourable to submitting to the people a by-law grant- ing a bonus, while the remaining three were opposed to it. Those 'is favour represented the eastern section of the township, and those against the western. The grounceof the latteres opposition was that if a bonus were enbmitted to the railway, it would preclude the posaibili- ty of the township granting did rto Hay- field harbor. ,Dr. Woods, of Ba field, it ( prnminent -member of the Coun il, and one ot those who opposed aubmi tin'g the by-law, recently visited Londe , and while there tbe Directors of the . Com- pany succeeded in inducing him to ac- cept a corn eremite). Accordingly a meet- ing of the Council was held on Tueaday last, and a large deputation from the Board of Directora of the Company at- tended for thepurpose of carrying into effect the arrangement made with Dr. Woods. This arrangement was that a joint by-law be submitted to the people granting $15,000 to the railway, and $15,000 to amid in repairing Hayfield harbor. This latter sum, howeyer, is only given conditionally. The condition is that an equal sum be got, from the Government, If, therefore, the Gov- ernment will grant this autn, the clause in the by-law granting aid to the harbor will be operative, otherwise it viill be in- operative. This _arrangement, meeting with the approval of the other two councilors who had previously been op- posed to giving aid to the railway, the by-law giving effect•to this arrangement was produced by the Solicitor of the Lon- don Company,. read and passed by the Council, and is now before the people for their consideration. . The ey-law provides that the deben- tures guaranteeing -the *15,000 grant to. the railway be made payable in twenty years at furthest, from the day herein- after mentioned for the by-law to take effect, and the said debentures shall be delivered to the trustees named or to be named,in accordance with the provisions of the act of the Parliament of the Pro- vince of Oetario, pearled in the thirty- fourth year of the reign of Her Majesty entitled "an act to Incorporate the Lon- don, Huron and Bruce R:ailway Com- pany." That these debentures shall not be sold -by the said trustees nor the pro- mods/thereof paid over to the said Rail- way Company until the said Railway shall have been fully completed and ready' for wor.king from the city of Lon- don to the village of Clinton, and the ine of such railway being so built hrough the said township of Stanley intil it reaches some point north of Brumfield, and stations erected on the, aid line'of railway at or neat tbe vil- lages ef Evian, Brucefield and Clinton, espeotively ; and an agreement execut- d on the part Of the Great Western Railway Company to equip and work the said railway after it shall be completed as aforesaid, and maintain the etations t the place above- mentsoned, and all Deports for interest on the said, ileeen- tarots Which snail have accrued due be- forathe s id railway is so completed to Clinton as 'aforeiold shall be detached from said debentures by said trustees, nd esincelled and delivered to the -said , Hay ere worn. f from the ad ;9 wag bisddine subsided, swinwinality. • It is alio farther enacted that it shell and may be lawful for the Reeve of the said municipality to issue any 'ember of debentures in su ins of not less than one hundred dollars each, and not exceeding in the whOle the sam of fifteen thousand dollars, for the purpose of aiding and as- sisting in the improvement and repairing of the herbor at Hayfield. in the said municipality, but such last mentioned debenturek 'hall not be issued until af- ter a greet of an equal amount shall have been, orderecl or made by the Gov- ernment or Parliament in the Dominion of Canada, or in the Province of On- tario, fer the same object and purpose. The by-law also provides that it will require the sum of $3,120 to be raised annually, ey special rate, for paying the debt of $30,000 and interest on the de- ,bentures to be issued therefor.
