Under a treaty signed June 5, 1854, between the United States and Great Britain, certain articles specified, including pitch, tar, turpentine, ashes, timber, and lumber of all kinds, round, hewed, and sawed, unmanufactured in whole or in part, firewood, and plants, shrubs, and trees, were to be admitted free of duty between the United States and the British North American Provinces. This treaty was to remain in force ten years, and after that time, until twelve months after either of the high contracting parties should notify the other of its wish to discontinue the same. This treaty took effect March 16, 1855. A joint resolution of Congress, approved January 18, 1865, gave notice of a wish to suspend its operation according to the terms of the treaty. Its provisions therefore ceased to operate on the 16th of March, 1866. From imperfect classification we are unable to present the returns of importations from Canada under this treaty, except for the last four years of the period embraced. 1.
