The Question of Reciprocity Considered= General Opposit: te the Proposed Treaty—The Advantages to Accrue to England Only. B |AMTLTON, Angust 1%, 1874. The committee to-day reported, in the most em- phatic manner, against the adoption of the pro- posed treaty, and state that it will prove disastrous to the manufacturing interests of Canada, sert- ously disturb her agricultural and commercial in- terests, now ina high state of prosperity, bring about @ social crisis, necessitate the raising of an increased revenue by direct taxation, thus de- stroying all the advantages the farmers might Otherwise obtain. They look with alarm upon the vagueness of those clauses which pertain to the admission of goods manulactured tn whole or in part of products foreign to Canada, while they do not believe the United States would grant the dil- ference of trade terms, and just What is meant by cotton plaids and cottonades unbieachead i a source of great anxiety, and they fear under this provision a complete destruction of the cotton Manulactures of the Dominion. The Americ patent laws are an ample protec'ion to many man- ulactures, while no correspondiny protection 1s given our own. The obligation to deeven the | cagals is imposed without any reciprocal benetits to Canadian commerce beyond simpie recom mendations, and they conoiude that with the sliding scale the treaty would be productive of broadspread disaster. An amendment tavoring the treaty but opposing the sitding scale was introduced, and alter a dis- cussion of more than an hour received but two votes. Many remarks were made eulogistic of American manulactures, especially in the lower grades of cotton fabrics, which were claimed to be superior to English gouds, and between the cheap interior goods of Engiaud and the firm fabrics of the States the cotton ee relat 8 interests of the Dominion would be destroyed. The manufac- turers said that a much larger —_ of profit was realized by the importer on foreign goods than couid be realized trom domestic, but the gain was & loss to the consumer who received poorer goods, and this accounts lor go many boards of trade juvoring the treaty. English and not American Manuiacturers dre feared, and the advantages to be reaped are not to accrue to tne people of the Dominion nor to the manulacturera of the States, but to the manulacturers on the other side of the Atlantic, Alter @ discussion of two hours the vote was taken and the report adopted with but two oppos- ing voices, thus settling the position of the Canadian Manu‘actures on this question of re- ciprocity, THE FALL CAMPAIGN, The Democratic State Comimittee— ‘Where the Convention Will Be Held.

The Auzust returns of the Department of Agri- culture show an improvement in the prospects of the cotton crop in ait the large cotton States, ex- cept Alabama, in which, during July, the average declined two per cent, Virginia also declined two per cent, Arkansas seven per cent and Tennessee six per cent, The two States last named complain of extensive, and severe droughts, North Caroling maintains her July average, reporting a general prevalence of fine conditions of growth, no insect depredations, ex- cept lice ina few places. In Lincoln county the crop was twenty days in advance, the first bloom bemg on July 31, South Carolina reports a considerable improvement, while Georgia advances her average one por cent, Mississippi two per cent and Florida six per cent. From several counties in these States come com- piaints of local droughts impoverishing the growth oi plants, In Others heavy rains have caused an excessive growth of weeds, with a tendency to iong Joints and @ small truitaze. Caterpillars are re- ported in many localities, but they appear to be even later in their development than the crops. Several correspondents think tiey are too late to damage any oui top crops, In some counties the bottom crops are pvor, while the middle crops are luxuriant. Where a good stand was secured early the crop is generally reported as better than for years, Louisiana suffered severely from freshets in the early part of tne season, reducing her July average to seventy-three. The disastrous consequences were partly remedied by the im- Proved condition of the growth in July; but still ‘the crop is seventeen per cent below tne average. In some parishes, as in East Felictana, the work- ing force of farm animals was seriously crippled by charbon, causing the crops to remain unworked at the critical period. No serious insect injuries are foreshadowed, and the tone of the correspon- dence is more hopeful, ‘Texas increased her high average, showing gen- eral and satisiactory improvement. Insects were demonstrating in different quarters, but were suc- cessfully met with the remedies. In Gonzales county a large red wasp was making war upon the | farmer's enemies, while in Walker flocks of small birds, never before seen here, were very destruc- lve upon them. The State averages were as fol- lows;—Virginia, 98 per cent of an average crop; North Carolina, 102; South Carolina, 97; Georgia, 94; Florida, 102; Alabama, 90; Mississippi, 89; Louisiana, 83; Texas, 105; Arkansas, 87; Tennes- [| Bee, 83, uxpenses of the District Government.

Vessel Wrecked Off the Island of Na- moah—Supposed to bo the American Bark Scotland, The United States Consul at Swatow reports to the State Department, under date of June 10, that ou Apri! 11 he learned that some Chinese fishermen had stated that the masts of a recently sunken vessel were visible off the Island of Namosh, and that it was supposed that every one on board was lost. The American bark Scotland, which had lett Shanghae for Swatow, Was many days overdue; and, as it seemed probable that this was the wreck of that vessel, th sul applied to the Chinese Admiral for imormation. that there had been # storm on March 20, in which 100 native boats and 300 lives were lost, but he had heard nothing of a foreign wreck. Inquiry was made ot tie Consul Generali, Mr. Seward, who reported that the American bark Scotland, of San Francisco, Glidden, Master, 441 tons, built at Richmoud in 1849, owned by Plummer had cleared at Shanghae for Swatow March 13, 1874. Om May 29 the Consul received a letter from the Commissioner of Qustoms at Swatow, stating that on the 25th he found, by sendtig an odicer to the wreck, that she is bark rigged. Her foretopmast seemed to ve quite a new spar. The yards were bright. foretopgallantmast is painted wuite and the spider band around the foretopmast is red. The Consul adds that if the parts described corresponded with the Scotland tt is probable that that vessel was wrecked on Boat Rock about the 206 of last March and that the whole of the crew perished.

It began about the 20th of September, wito intense (rosts and heavy snow storms, The Greenland ice surrounded the north and north. west of the island, The cows, sheep and ponies had to be housed and fed all through the winter, About the middie of April most of the farmers had exhansted their stores of hay, and general 1oas of livestock and subsequent famine seemed imminent, This certainly would have taken Place if the change in the weather had happened @ fortnight later than it did. Fortunate- ly the frost and snow storms were suc- ceeded by thaw and rain from the 20th of April to this time. Altnough the spring bas been rather cold and wet, there is already a gvod crop of grass, and no serious ioas has been sustained in any part of the island, Besides, the fisting nas been very successful, especially round Reykjavik, 80 much #0 that the Danish traders at Reykjavik had to order more ships from Denmark than they have ever done beiore to carry off the tisk. Relieved from the bevumbing infuence of the cold and the anxtety of impending famine the ice- landers are now putting forth ali their energy to prepare jor the celebration of the thousandth anuiversary of the settlement of the island, and the reception of their King, who is expected in Iceiand on the 29th of July. Iceland has never seen alive king beiore, it We except one of the oid district kings of Norway, who was blinded by flarald Fuirasir, and then sent to iceland be- cause he managed to take himseli $0 troublesome even aiter he was blinded tat Harald did uot see any ovher way with uim than to seud him to Ice- land, where he died.

In the country districts great preparations are algo being made for celebrating the anniversary.

In connection wit this coast navigation it is also proposed to run a steamer direct between Leita and Reykjavik, as the present Danish muil steamer has been found utterly insuficient.

The resuit was a collection of gome 6,000 or 7,000 volumes, now on the way to Iceland. In connection with this it may be men- tioned that the University of Oxford decreed to send £100 worth of D00ks to the College or Royija- vik a8 an acknowledgment of the kindness English travellers had experienced from its proiesvors. Many American visitors are expected at the oete- bration of the snniversary, among whom have been mentioned Dr, Hayes (who goes for the New ; Yor« HeRaty) and Mr. Cyrus Field; It 1s atgo said that Canon Kingsley is going to Iceland with the latter.
