, . - T a Gsneral MEETING o f t h e TANNERS, ► resident is the County of oxroi4D, holdcu at the Blue • Boar Inn, Oxford, on the _7th Day of June, 1812, for the pur 11011C of taking into consideration the proposition of the Cos 1.4. Cat.i.oe Of the Exciteousa, for Doubling the Duty on Leathir, - Mr. 1 HONIAS FOX 13RICKNELL, Chapman. It was Resolved Unanimously, I. That it is the opinion of this Meetirg that the proposed Duty will. if carried into effect, be extremely injurious to the I.pat her Traie; and operate as a partial and oppressive Tax an the Manu'acturer. • 11. '1 hat it will diminish the Exportation of all Articles manu . factured oftesthir, particularly of low-priced Shoes and Boots, which at present turntshcsempioyment to many thousand persons. 111. 'I hat the proposed Ts: would fall peculiarly heavy on the Lower C!asses, inasmuch as the Shoes worn by the Labouring . Poor, notwithstanding they are of the cheapest materials and coarsest workmansb p, yet being double the weight, they pay double the Duty otahoseworn by the higher ranks of People. . . IV. hat it would give a decided advantage to the :rid; Tan rer, who at present pays a lower Duty.tban the English Tanner; and if the former slpii'd pay only One Penny per Pound, while the latter shuuld pay Threepence, the competition between Eng land'and Ireland would be rendered more unequal than it is at ?resent, and thus enab'e the kW% to undersell the British in all Articles of Leather Manufacture is every Market in the world, while it would prevent the British from affording so high a price for the Raw Materials. V. That upon the whole, t►e proposed additional Duty on Leather appears not to have been duly comiderod, as it is a Tax alga', though often sugge3ted, our ablest Financiers have always reji cted as,contrary to the maxims of sound policy. VI. That for the foregoing reasons, this Meeting will, by every Constitutional Measure, oppose the said Tax, in order to prevent it from being carried into a Law. VII. That 200 Copies of these Resolutions be printed, and a Copy sent by the Secretary to lobo Pane, Esq. and Lord.Franeis Almaric Spencer, the two Ct unty Members, also to the Right Hon. Sir William Scott and the Right Hon. Charles Abbott, the two University Members, and also to Francis Burton, Esq sad John Ingram Lockhart, Esq. the two City Members for Oxford, and that the Secretary, on behalf of this ?Selecting, do request those Members support In opposing the proposed atielitiosal Tax In Leather. VIII. 1 hat the above Resolutions be inserted in the STAR and Times Papers, and also in the two Oxford Papers. IX. That a SecouJ General Meeting be holden at the Blue Boar bin, on Thursday next, ad of July, at One o'Clock. X. That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman for his attention to the Interest of the Tanners. By Order of the Committee, GEORGE CECIL, Secretary. The late PHENOMENON in the WESTINDLAS. The following account of the eruption of Mount Souffriere, in St. Vincent's, will be found to be the Racist accurate and complete that has yet appeared : The SouffrierMountain, the most northerly of the loity - chain running through the centre of this island, and the highest (Ti the whole, as computed by the most accurate survey that has yet been taken, had fox some time past indicated much disquietude ; and from the extraordinary frequency and violence of earthquakes, which are calculated to have exceeded two hundred within the last year, portended some great movement, or eruption. The apprehension, I however, was not so immediate, as to restrain curio.. city, or to prevent repeated Asks to the crater, which of late had been more numerous than at any former period, even tp to Sunday last, the 26th of April, when some Gentlemen ascended it, and remained there for some time. Nothing unusual was then re marked, or any external d fference observed, except rather a stronger emission of smoke from the inter stices of.the Conical hill, at the bottom of the crater. —To those who have not visited this romantic and wonderful spot, a light description of it, as it lately stood, is previously necessary and indispensible to form any conception of it, and to the better under standing the account which fellows—for no one living can expect to see it again in the perfection and beauty in which it was on Sunday the 26th inst. 4 About two thousand feet from the level of the sea, (calculated from conjecture) on the South side of the mountain, and rather more than 2-3d3 of its height, opens an immense circular chasm, somewhat exceed ing half a mile in diameter, and between four or five hundred feet in depth—exactly in the centre of this capacious bowl, rose a conical hill about 250 or 300 In height, and about 200'in diameter, richly covered and variegated with shrubs, brushwood and vines, about half way up, and for the remainder powdered over with virgin sulphur to the top. From the fis sures in the cone and iuterstices of t h rocks, a thin, white smoke, was constantly emitted, occasionallf tinged with a slight bluish flame. The precipitous sides of this magnificent Ampitheatre were fringed with variousever-greens, and aromatic shrubs, flowers, and many Alpine plants.' On the north and south sides of the base of the cone, were two pieces of water, one perfectly pure and tasteless ; the other strongly impregnated with sulphur and allum. This lonely and beautiful spot was rendered more enchanting by the singularly melodious notes of a bird, an inhabitant of these upper solitudes, and alto gether unknown to the other parts of the island, hence principally called, or supposed to be invisible, though ii certainly has been seen and is a species of the merle. A century had now elapsed, since the last convulsion of the mountain or since any other elements had disturbed the serenity of this wilderness (than those which are common to the Tropical tempest.) .It apparently slumbered in primeval solitudes and tranquillity, and from the luxuriant vegetation and growth of the forest, *hidh coveted its sides from the base, nearly to the summit, seemed to discilunte- nance the fact, and falsify the records of the ancient volcano. Such was the majestic, peaceful Souffrier on Aril the 27th, but we trod on" Ignem repositutn etniri doloso," and our imaginary safety was soon to be confoinded by the sudden danger of devastation. Just as the plantation bells rung twelve at noon on Monday the 27th, an abrupt and dreadful crash from the mountain, with a severe concussion of the earth, and tremulous noise in the air, alarmed all around it. The resurrection of this fiery furnace, was proclaimed in a moment by a vast column of thick, black, ropey smoke, like that of an immense glass house, -bursting forth at once, and mounting to the sky showering down sand, with gritty calcined particles of earth, and &villa mixed on all below. —This driven before the wind towards Wallibon and idorne Ronde, darkened the air like a cataract of rain, and covered the ridges, woods, and cane pieces with light grey-coloured ashes, resembling snow when * little sublimed by a:vst. As the eruption increased, this continual shower expanded, destroying every ap penance of vegetation. At night a very consider able degree of I rgir s iiion was observed on the bps of cr tht ate') but it is not asserted, that there was as yet any visilile ascension of flame. _The same awful scene presented itself on Tuesday—the fall of favilla and Welded pebbles still increasing, and toe corn- pact, pitchy eblumn from the crater rising'perpendi cularly to an immense height, with a noise at intervals like the muttering of distant thunder. On Wednes ' day the 29th, all these menacing symptoms of horror and combustion still gathered more thick t:nd terrific for miles around the dismal, and half obscured moun tain. The prodigious column, shot up with quicker motion, dilating as it rose, like a balloon. The sun appeared in total eclipse, and shed a meridian twilight I over us, that aggravated the wintry gloom of the scene, now completely powdered over with falling particles. It was evident that the crisis was as yet to BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED.

To describe the ef fects is, if possible, a more difficult, and truly most interesting task. INTERCEPTED LETTERS. prAring across the perpendicular column from the crater—others shooting upwards from the mouth like rockets of the most dazzling lustre—others like shells with their trailing firsts flying in different parabolas, with the most vivid scintillations from the dark sanguine column, which now seemed inflexible, and immoveable by the wind. Shortly after seven P. M. the mighty cauldron was seen to simmer, and the ebullition of lava to break out on the N.W. side. This immediately after boiling over the orifice and flowing a short way, was opposed by the acclivity of a higher point of land, over which it was impelled by the immense tide of liquified fire that drove it on, forming the figure V. in grand illumination. Some times, when the ebullition slackened, or was insuffi cient to urge it over the obstructing hill, it recoiled back, like a mfluent billow from the rock, and . then again rushed forward impelled by fresh supplies and scaling every obstacle, carrying rocks and woods to gether in its course down the slope of the mountain, until it precipitated itself down some vast ravine, con cealed from our sight by the intervening ridges of Morne Ronde. Vast globular bodies of fire were seen projected from the fiery furnace, and bursting, fell back into it, or over it on the surrounding bushes, which were instantly set in tones. About four hours from the lava boiling over the crater, it reach ed the sea, as we could observe from the reflezion of the fire arid the electric flashes attending it. About half-past one another stream of lava wan seen descending to the eastward towards Rabacca......l The thundering noise of the mountain and the vibra tion of sound that had been so formidable hitherto, now mingled in the sullen, monotonous roar of the rolling lava, became so terrible, that dismay was al most turned into despair. At this time the fiist earth quake was felt; this was followed by showers of cin ders, that fell with the hissing noise of hail during two hours. At three o'clock a rolling on the roofs of the houses indicated a fall of stones, which soon thickened, and at length descended in a rain of inter mingled fire, that threated at once the fate of Pom peia, or Herculaneum. The cracking and corusca tans from the crater at this period exceeded all that yet passed.
