The plan of this Orrice will be found to comprise all the solid ad-
vantages of Life Assurance.

Persons have the option of Insuring upon the Return or Non-
Return Systems ; and the Tables have been framed to suit the
convenience of all parties.
The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the most ap-
proved calculations ; they are also verified by the experience of the
Office during forty years, are as low as consistent with safety ; those
adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM entitle its assured to an equitable
participation in the surplus premium, according to the plan detailed
In the Company's Prospectus.
The Assured under both systems will possess the guarantee of a
large Paid-up Capital, and the farther security of a responsible body
of Proprietors, without being exposed to the liabilities of partnership.
Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of an
assurance is effected ; or, loans will be granted thereon to the extent
of five-sixths of such purchase-money.
Prospectuses and every information obtained on application at the
Offices as above, or to the Agents of the Company appointed in every

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posed to be withdrawn from the manufactured article ; and that the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. The attention
and patronage of the public is requested to this elegant novelty, which
can be had at any of the respectable Drapers, &e.. and wholesale
at all the wholesale dealers.
