FROM LIVERPOOL.

RESIGNATION OF THE CABINLT.
VJERPOOL, TIIURSDAI EVENING.
By the arrival of the fine steamer Britannia.
Capt. Cleland, of Cunard's line of Royal mail
steam-ships, between this port and Boston,which
arrived here this evening, we have received pa-
pers to.the ditc of her sailing, which comprise
New York of 15th, Boston of 16th, and Halifax
18th ult. The Britannia experienced a very
stormy passage, and has been out twelve days
frOM Httlifitx. She brought 26 passengers.
We have much news by this arrival. Presi-
dent . Tyler had vetoed the second Bank Bill,
stating. his reasons at length, in a message to
Congress on the ath. A resignation of the offices
of those .who had hitherto acted with him, with
thesole exception of Mr. Daniel Webster, took
place immediately, and the extra Session of Con-
gress was prorogued on the 13th. The matter
had caused . an extraordinary sensation in the
whole Union.
'The affair of M‘Leod caused great excitement
,11': •
again in the State of New York, as well as
on the Niagara border. It was now said that
'6'iderice 'sufficient to convict him would be
brought forward. Chief Justice Nielson would
preside,: and the force of national and political
feeling ran so high, that it was impossible to say
'what a cloud of excited witnesses from the
excited district of Niagara, and a Jury of Utica,
in the centre of such excited interest, might con-

vict upon.
A new Tariff or Revenue Bill had passed both
Houses of Congress. Its object is to levy taxes
on many articles hitherto admitted free, and its
second clause intimates that higher duties will
be levied in a few months more on manufactured
articles. This is a bad feature, for the uncer-
ainty of such fluctuations is more detrimental to
commerce than even the most onerous duties.
There had been very serious riots in Cincinnati
between the white and coloured .populace, and
several persons,were stabbed in the streets.
From Canada the accounts are pacific. The
Governor had intimated his intention to pro-
rogue Parliament as soon as the public business
would permit. This would probably be on
the 18th.
• The notorious Lett had been captured and
lodged in gaol again, sine; which there had
been no ta►k of outbreaks or disturbances by the
patriots, and all the border was quiet. The
Governor continued in ill-health, suffering
much from gout and want of rest.
In Texas all remains thriving and quietly pros-
perous. The Mexicans have too much to do
with their own internal dissensions to interrupt
the tranquillity of the Texians. At Havannah
the fever was greatly decreased.
Trade at New York and Philadelphia was ra-
ther dull. The rate of Exchange for this steamer
9aOfon 60 days' bilk; on London. The Cotton
crup would be larger in the next than in the pre-
sent year, but the present...trade dull. Corn and
Flour quiet, but still prices are high, being kept.
up by the last accounts from England. Stocks
of most descriptions Are declining.
NEW CABINET ORGANIZATION.
The Senate was occupied nearly the whole of Monday,
until eight o'clock in the evening, in the consideration
of Executive nominations. The Cabinet appointments
confirmed were as follows :
Walter Forward, Secretary of the Treasury.
John M'Lean, Secretary of War.
A. P. Upshur, Secretary of the Navy.
Charles A. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, Postmaster-Ge-
neral.

The ihteikioncer states by request, that Mr. Webster
will remain at the head of the new organization of the
Cabinet, equally in compliance with the wishes of the
President and the unanimous recommendation of his
(Mr. W.'s) private friends.
Among the most interesting and important of the diplo-
matic appointments, was the confirmation of the nomi-
nation of the Hon. Edward Everett to be Minister at
the Court of St. James's. Many other nominations
were likewise confirmed, the following of which only
have transpired :
• William Hunter (now Charge d'Affaires), to be Mini-
ster Plenipotentiary to Rio de Janeiro.
Robert W. Walsh, Secretary of Legation to the same.
William Boolware, of Virginia, Charge d'Affaires to
Naples. -
James D. Doty, Governor of Wisconsin.
Major S. Churchill, to be Inspector-General of the
Army, in the place of General Wool, promoted.

GREAT RIOT AT CINCINNATI.
(Correspondence of Commercial Advertiser.)
CINCINNATI, SEPT. 5, IB4l.—During the night of
Friday our fair city became the scene of one of the most
terrific riots that ever disgraced a civilized community.
The circumstances, as near as I can learn them, are as fol--
lows :—Oa Thursday evening, the Ist inst., a slight diffi-
culty arose between some rowdy boys in the lower part of
the city, and some negroes ; and in the course of the
affray one of the whites • was stabbed, and it is said, is
since dead. This roused the passions of the men who
follow the river, and who are in general of desperate
character, and they determined to revenge themselves
upon the negroes, by attacking the quarter in which
taey livo. This the negroes heard of on Friday, and
armed themselves for the purpose of defending their
property. On the evening of that day a snob
of some two thousand • persons assembled near
Broadway . and Sixth- street—where the principal
portion of the negro population live—and began
the riot by assailing the houses with missiles of
every description. On this the negroes fired a
number of muskets upon the mob, killing one oe two and
wounding a great number. This for a short time
checked the assault • but soon some of the more daring
procured muskets, and a six-pound cannon was by some
means obtained, which was charged to the muzzle with
pieces of scrap iron and other Lad!), implements, and
tired several times by the infuriated mob directly on
the houses of the negroes, causing them to fly in all di-
rections.
At this juncture several military companies, which
had been called out by the Mayor, made their ap-
pearance, secured the gun, and for the time quelled
the outbreak. Yesterday morning the city was all
excite:ncnt, and a meeting of the .citizens was called
by the authorities, in order to end the outrage ; the
eegro quarter was guarded all day by a strong mili-
tary force, and all the coloured men in the city were
brought here by civil officers, it was said, to prevent
their being maltreated. Various measures were re-
sorted to in order to restore the peace of 'the city, and
it was determined to enforce a law passed in 1807,
compelling the negroes to give security for their good
,behaviour or to leave the city. In the evening, how-
ever, the mob again assembled, but their fury was
directed against the abolitionists, and in the very
face =of the authorities, and in spite of the military
force under arms, they tore open the office of
the _Emancipator (the abolition paper), destroyed
the types, and dragged the press piecemeal to the
river, for the purpose of drowning it, which they did
most effectually. Thence they went to the house of a
Mr. Burnet, who is well known , here as a most fa-
natical abolitionist, and destroyed the whole interior of
his house, leaving but the walls standing. They likewise
endeavoured to destroy one or two churches, whose mem-
bers were known to be favourable to the cause of aboli-
tion, but were prevented by the presence of the soldiers and
a strong civic force. Large numbers of the rioters are in
jail, but not• a tenth part of those actively engaged in
this most daring riot ; the authorities seem. afraid
to act with the decision called for by the circumstances,
and men look at each other, wondering what will be the
end. I am afraid that there will be new and. fearful
scenes of violence to-night. In all the mobs I have ever
seen, whether in England or this country, I have never
beheld snore cool determination. Undoubtedly many of
the coloured people will be forced to leave the city, and
it will be well if they escape with no greater evil.
