RESOLUTIONS passed at a MEETING of the LEATHER TRADE of LIVERPOOL and NEIGHBOUR HOOD, held in the Clarendon Rooms, on Saturday, the lith Much, 1845, WILLIAM HENDERSON, Esq., in the Chair. Moved by Mr. AIIHBVIINER • seconded by Mr. Baowta 1. " That this Meeting views with consider;ble alarm the proposed measure of admitting Foreign Tanned Leather free of duty ; because every pound so imported will supplant, to the same extent, leather which would have been tanned in British premises by British work men." Moved by Mr. DANIEL TUNSTALL : seconded by Mr. WARING :- 2. " That while itheltanners of this country should (in common with other manufacturers) be grateful for the proposed removal of import duty from 'raw material,' yet as tanned leather is no ' raw material,' but a manufactured article, which occupies from four to twelve months in process ; and as all trades, of any importance, which have hitherto been protected by an import duty, have that protection still continued, the proposed alteration will bear almost exclusively hard upon the British tanner." Moved by Mr. JonN PALMER ; seconded by Mr. WiLtrAms :- 3. " That the remission of Duties on Raw Hides, and materials for Tanning, forms no proportion whatever to the protecting Duty pro posed to be withdrawn from the manufactured article ; and that the foreign Tanner by avoiding the expensive freight of Bark and other Tanning materials; paying little rent, and possessing cheap labour, arising from lower priced food, will enjoy an advantage of about 10 per cent. on the value of Leather, and which would regain nearly twopence per pound to counteract." Moved by Mr. THOMAS BEAKRANE ; seconded by Mr. WILLIAM OCLIESTON :- 4. " That the Tanning premises of this country constitute a large amount of property inapplicable to any other purpose : that the work men are a very numerous and an important body of men; and were importation of Leather to be carried on to a great extent, the Tan Yards would become deteriorated in value, and many workmen be thrown out of employment." Moved by Mr. Wasasto ; seconded by Mr. Btxxs. 5. " That were France, the United States, and Brazil, to recipro cate with this country in permitting the importation of British tanned leather into their territories free of duty, the British tanner would have little to fear from the proposed measure, as he could then com pete with success in some descriptions of leather with the foreigner, and thereby be compensated, by exportation, for any loss he would sustain in his home trade by the introduction of foreign tensed leather: But that until such reciprocation does take place in the hostile tariffs of these countries, it is most impolitic to grant that freedom of competition which they do not allow to ,the leather of British manufacture in return." Moved by Mr. ALFRED LAFONE ; seconded by Mr. BOVIDEN.I 6. " That while the British tanner would be supplanted in his trade to a considerable extent by the importation of inferior foreign tanned leather, the British public would not be benefited in the least degree by having cheaper shoes, as the tanner being changed, would make little or no difference to the general price of leather in this country ; but simply lessen the quantity produced by British labour." Moved by Mr,BowrigN ; seconded by Mr. JOHN WARING, jun.:- 7. " That a petition to Parliament embodying the foregoing moo _ _ . _ lutions be immediately drawn up and forwarded to Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas, and the Chairman be authorised to sign the same on behalf of the meeting ; and further, that a deputation, con sisting of the Chairman, Mr. John Waring, Mr. T. S. Ashburner, and Mr. Thomas Beakbane, do proceed to London, and have an interview at the Board of Trade, for the purpose of urging the case." THE MINARET PARASOL, from the ele gance an& symmetry of its form, is by far the most beautlthl yet introduced ; the price does not exceed that of ordinary parasols, although a very graceful improvement has been effected in its con struction, which is such that it cannot get out of order.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MonNixo, Six o'CLocx. The American packet Hibernia arrived at Liverpool this morning. She brings New York papers to the Ist March. The Bill for the annexation of Texas was still under consideration in the Senate. The New York Tribune, a paper adverse to annexation, says :—" It is close work," and expresses its fears that the decision of the Senate will be adverse to the interests of peace and freedom; adding :—" The Pres', ent elect is the master spirit of the Texas intrigue, and is concentrating his immense power and patronage wholly on this point." It seems to be the general opinion that the Oregon Bill cannot pass the Senate without material amendment. It appears that the British Government bas offered to leave the matter relating to the possession of the Oregon territory to the arbitration of any disinterested European power, to be named by the United States. The Wash ington correspondent of the Tribune says :—" I believe Oregon will be allowed to lie over another summer. The Bill has answered its purpose by helping Texas through. It is quite likely that the Bill to make States of lowa and Florida will likewise fail for want of time." The papers contain the following message from Pre sident Tyler, to the House of Representatives, on the subject of the trade in slaves by citizens of the United States and British subjects, accompanied by several communications . from Mr. Wise, the Minister at Brazil : "TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES. "I transmit herewith, for the information of Congress, copies of certain dispatches recently received from Mr. Wise, our Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Brazil, upon the subject of the slave trade ; de veloping the means used, and the devices resorted to, in order to evade existing enactments upon that subject. " Anxiously desirous as are the United States to suppress a traffic so revolting to humanity, in the effort to accomplish which they have been the pioneers of civilised States, it can not but be a subject of the most profound regret that any portion of our citizens should be found acting in co-operation with the subjects of other Powers, in opposition to the policy of their own Government ; thereby subjecting to suspicion and to the hazard of disgrace the flag of their own country. It is true that this traffic is carried on altogether in foreign ports, and our own coasts are free from its pollution. But the crime remains the same wherever perpetrated; and there are many circumstances to warrant the belief that some of our citizens are deeply involved in its guilt. "The mode and manner of carrying on this trade arc clearly and fearlessly set forth in the accompanying documents ; and it would seem that a regular system has been adopted for the purpose of thwarting the policy and evading the penalties of our laws. American vessels, with the knowledge, as there are good reasons to believe, of the owners and masters, are chartered, or rather purchased, by notorious slave-dealers in Brazil, aided by English brokers and capitalists with this intent. The vessel is only nominally chartered at so much per month, while, in truth, it is actually sold, to be delivered on the coast of Africa, the charter-party binding the owners, in the meantime, to take on board as passengers, a new crew in Brazil, who, when delivered on the coast, are to navigate her back to the ports of Brazil with her cargo of slaves. Under this agreement, the vessel clears from the United States for some port in Great Britain, where a cargo of mer chandise, known as " coast goods," and designed especially for the African trade, is purchased, shipped, and consigned, together with the vessel, either to the slave-dealer himself or to his agents or accomplices in Brazil. On her arrival a crew is put on board as passengers, and the vessel and cargo con signed to an equally guilty factor or agent on the coast of Africa, where the unlawful purpose originally designed is finally consummated. The merchandise is exchanged for slaves—the vessel is delivered up—her name obliterated, her papers destroyed, her American crew discharged, to be pro vided fur by the charterers, and the new or passenger crew put in command to carry back its miserable freight to the first contrivers of the voyage, or their employers in Brazil. " Daring the whole progress of this tortuous enterprise it is possible that neither the American crew originally en listed, nor the passenger crew put on board in the Brazilian ports, are aware of the nature of the voyage, and yet it is on these principally, ignorant, if not innocent, that the penalties t i the law are inflicted ; while the guilty contrivers—char terers, brokers, owners, and masters—in short, all who are most deeply concerned in the crime and its rewards, for the most part escape unpunished. " It will be seen, from the examinations which have re cently taken place at Rio, that the subjects of her Britannic Majesty, as well as our own citizens, are deeply implicated in this inhuman traffic. British factors and agents, while they supply Africa with British fabrics in exchange for slaves, are chiefly instrumental in the abuse of the American flag ; and the suggestions contained in the letter of Mr. Wise (whose judicious and zealous efforts in the matter can not be too highly commended), addressed to Mr. Hamilton, the British Envoy, as to the best mode of suppressing the evil, deserve your most deliberate consideration, as they will receive, I doubt not, that of the British Government. " It is also worthy of consideration whether any other measures than those now existing are necessary to give greater efficacy to the just and humane policy of onr laws, which already provide for the restoration to Africa of slaves captured at sea by American cruisers. From time to time provision has been made by this Government for their com fortable support and maintenance during a limited period after their restoration, and it is much to be regretted that this liberal policy has not been adopted by Great Britain. As it is, it seems to me that the policy it has adopted is cal culated rather to perpetuate than to suppress the trade, by enlisting very large interests in its favour. Merchants and capitalists furnish the means for carrying it on; manufac tures for which the negroes aro exchanged are the products of her workshops; the slaves, when captured, instead of being returned back to their homes, are transferred to her colonial possessions in the West Indies, and made the means of swelling the amount of their products by a system of ap prenticeship for a term of years; and the officers and crew who capture the vessels receive, on the whole number of slaves, so many pounds sterling per capita by way of bounty. " It must be obvious that, while these large interests are enlisted in favour of its continuance, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to suppress the nefarious traffic, and that its results would be, in effect, but a continuance of the slave trade in another and more cruel form ; for it can be a matter of little difference with the African whether he is torn from his country and transported to the West Indies, as a slave, in the regular course of the trade, or captured by a cruiser, transported to the same place, and made to perform the same labour under the name of an apprentice, which is at present the practical operation of the policy adopted. "It is to be hoped that her Britannic Majesty's Govern ment will, upon a review of all the circumstances stated in these dispatches, adopt more efficient measures for the sup pression of the trade which she has so long attempted to put down with, as yet, so little success, and more consonant with the original policy of restoring the captured African to his home. " JOHN TYLER. " Washington, Feb. 19, 1845." The President had also addressed a message to Con gress relative to the negotiations between England and America on the Oregon territory, in which he states that " considerable progression has been made in the discus sion, which has been carried on in a very amicable spirit between the two Governments ; and that there is reason to hope that it may be terminated, and the ne gotiation be brought to a close, within a short period." The papers publish a correspondence between the State Department and Mr. Everett, in reference to seven fugitive criminals, who, it is alleged, committed rob bery, arson, and murder in East Florida, and afterwards escaped to Nassau. Their surrender is claimed by the General Government, under the provisions of the Wash ington treaty. The judges at Nassau decided that, ac• cording to the treaty, the prisoners ought not to be given up. Lord Aberdeen has taken the same view, and Mr. Everett is instructed to call the attention of the British Government to the question, and urge a speedy decision, as the result is unsatisfactory. There is no intelligence of the missing packet-ships England and United States. On the other side they were expecting that both vessels would be found to have put back to Liverpool. The Hibernia brings news Of the total loss of the ship Coromandel, from this to Bos ton—crew all saved. The commercial intelligence from the United States is somewhat encouraging. The spring trade was opening with a good deal of activity. The Stock Market was firm, and in Railway Securities an immense business was doing. Canadian accounts report that the Ministry had expe rienced two defeats—the first, on a local measure, by a vote of 34 to 26 ; and the second, on a Bill reducing the salaries of certain public officers and funding the fees of office, by 35 to 23. With this exception, there is not one item of news. The fellow ing are extracts from the papers brought by this arrival : DP:ATI( OF ASIIER RODBINS.—We learn by the Providence Journal that the honourable and venerable Asher Robbins died at Newport, on Sunday evening last, at the advanced age of eighty-eight. He was a most distinguished citizen of Rhode Island, and was equally the ob ject of esteem and respect for the purity of his per sonal character and the eminent usefulness of his public ser vices. He was for fourteen years the representative a his State in the Senate of the United States," of which body," as the Jour»al justly says, " Lis profound learaing, his i ipe scholarship, and his classical eloquence, made him a dis tinguished member." Finus—The alarm of fire last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, proceeded from the steam-boat Gazelle, plying be tween this and Piermont, iu connexion with the Erie Rail • road, lying at the foot of Duane-street, which was much da maged before the flames were extinguished. The fire in Brooklyn last night, about eleven o'clock, was No. 61, Fulton street, occupied below by John Herbert, as a grocery, and up stairs by Mr. Shaw's tailor shop, and law yers' offices; the upper part was destroyed, and tho gro cery completely deluged by water. Mr. brazier's stove ma• IlaaeterY, at 59, caught fire, but was put out without much damage. MORMONS.—The Warsaw (Ill) Signal says that the Mor mons at Nauvoo are in a state bordering on starvation, and yet hundreds are flocking thither. FRESHET IN THE CONNECTICUT.—The recent warm weather and the rains have caused a very considerable rise in the Connecticut. "On Saturday night," says the Courant, " the water at Hartford rose about eighteen inches, and was, on Sunday evening, sixteen feet above low-water mark. On Monday it rose about twelve inches more. The ice above the bridge made a move, but soon stopped again. The ice is said to remain firm at Pratt's Ferry below. Below Rocky Hill, some six or seven miles above Middletown, the river is said to be open. There is little doubt that in a short time the navigation will be open to Hartford." PURE MILK AND RICHCREA3L—One of the blessings con ferred upon this city by the Erie Railroae, is the inexhaustible supply of purest milk and cream which it for ever secures this city at reasonable prices. In our columns to day will be found an advertisement from the Orange County Milk Association, to which we invite attention. The Post-office Bill has passed in Committee of the whole, in the House of Representatives, with only one amendment of any consequence ; the rates are fixed at five cents. under, and ten over, three hundred miles. This will doubtless pass the House and be at once concurred in by the Senate. The mail bag stolen at Albany has.been found. Part of the letters only had been opened, and it is ascertained that none of them contained anthing of value. _ _ The Governor of Connecticut has appointed Friday, the 21st of March, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, in that State.

Major Shaw, the Commissioner of the City Police, made a report of the general good management of the houses. There were four applications for licenses to new houses, the consideration of which was post poned till the adjournment-day on the 31st of March. Th e licenced victuallers were summoned for' ten o'clock, but several were not present until after the proclamation was . made for the adjournment of the Court, and consequently their licenses could not be granted, and they will have to close their houses until the adjournment-day. Alder man Hughes said that, if on any future occasion they were so negligent in attending to the Lord Mayor's precept, they would run a great risk of losing their licenses al together. OMNIBUS RlVALRY.—lslington and its vicinity, from an early hour yesterday, was the scene of considerable excitement, in consequence of the starting of twenty new omnibuses, to run between Holloway and Chelsea. Messrs. Wilson, the well-known omnibus proprietors, but who had not before run any of their vehicles on the above line of road, having resolved to start five in opposition to the Pad dington and Chelsea Company, the latter immediately de termined to put on no less than fifteen new carriages, in addition to their previous establishment. Messrs. Wilson's horses were gaily decorated with ribbons, and b o th d r i vers and conductors had mounted new suits of blue livery. The scene, not only at Holloway and Islington, but all :Jong the road to the other extremity ; Chelsea, presented an animated appearance, which was enhanced by the brightness of the day. The worst of competitions of this kind is, that they almost invariably lead .to accidents; otherwise the public cannot fail to be gainers by them. - .. - v , l ~ -4' ..• SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Pubttt enititton.

GALLOPPING MATCH AGAINST TIME.—EITLI.• ORDINARY PERFORNIANCE,An event, which created consi derable interest in sporting circles, many persons being pre.. sent from the metropolis, came off yesterday afternoon on the Bath road, between Slough and Colnbrook, a match havinff been made by the proprietor of one of the principal befto at Windsor, to ride his horse, an animal not more than I& hands and one inch in height, 24 miles in one hour and a half. Time was backed by Mr. Brown, stationer to trim Majesty, and several other of his sporting friende, to a ace sideratle amount. In consequence of the unfavourable state of the road from the snow which fell during Sunday afternoon, and the frost during the night, the odds, at starting, were 4to 3 and 3to 2 against the horse. At the start, which took place between two and three o'clock, the horse went away in beautiful style, and won the match, with upwards of eight minutes to spare, without showing symptoms of the least distress. The horse bad' just 15 minutes to perform the last mile and a )calf in. It WAS most admirably ridden ; and there is no doubt with a lighter weight on its back (its rider weighing nearly 14 stone) it would get over 26 miles of ground in the same time with th greatest ease. Considerable sums of 1110110 y dhailed bit* upon the occasion. • •• On Saturday next, in an elegantly printed volume, with coloared bor ders, and Eighty-three Engravings.
