AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE OF MAINE. In the House
OF Commons on the Sd insta nj the following CONVEX
sau3n look place respe ctin2 the operation oil the
Ashburton treaty:
Mr.. CHRIsTopHRR said he wished to know from
the night hon. gentleman the President OF the Board
OF Trade, whether, under the Ashburton treaty, and
the 10Th clause of the Customs Duty Bill II was in
Tended TO admit the agricultural produce OF the
state OF Maine into this country, at the colonial
duty 1t such were the case, he wished TO know
VIVA security would be gwen that the produce OF
!he oIher States OF America would not hnd It's way
into England IN the same way?
Il MI GLADSTONE said that he would endeavor to
conhne himself within the legitimate limits OF an
answer; at the same time he would endeavor fully
TO explain the meaning OF those articles OF treaty to
which the hon. member had referred. AS far as he
understood the first part of his hon. friends custom,
1t was whether by clause of the Customs Bill,
tcle OF the treaty Of Washington, the produce of
the State OF Maine would be forwarded through the
colony OF New Brunswick to this country at the
colonial duty? That clause had only reference TO
to belong to this country; the part of that territory
which had formerly been known by the name Of
the disputed territory. and which had by the late
division fallen to the United States, did not come
within the operation of the duty. 10 answer to the
second question OF his hon. friend, he would en-
deavor TO explain the precise position in which they
STOOD with respect TO the verfcatlon OF the origin
| OF produce TO be admitted into this country. By
the third article oil the treaty of Washington, and
the clause OF the Customs Act, referred 10 by the
| non gentleman, power was given for demanding a
verlhcation oil origin in all OF goods imported
into this country from the British Colonies, except
Ing IN those imported tpom the territories of the
East lodi la Company, which at present he would put
out OF view. The produce of that part of Maine
was almost exclusively timber

and in some portion OF other days. The corn crops
advance rather slowly toward maturity, but the
grain feeds well, and looks healthy. In some dis
tricts the wheat and oats are partially lodged by
the heavy rain but brisk winds have contributed
to recover them.--Leeds Mercury.
| This week the weather has been more settled
and favorable still at times cloudy, and not the best
suited for iurhering the progress OF haymaking:

of great many pieces being blighed in this neigh

much more than the STANDARDIZATION Gazette.
