FIRES IN LIVERPOOL.

'Po' fie* Dil'Ort• OF THE DAILY TIKES.

SIR,—In nit letter to' yoti dated May 1, I stated that
all damages by confiagfdli6 fall non the public in
increased insurance rates. I 01/oiget have added that
the Government duty is added also, by Way -of increasing
the calamity. The rate of insurance represents (with
profits of the companies) the compensation for the loss
to the insurer. The Government duty is a pure and
cumulative inftiction. Agricultural property is exempt
from this. Mr. Shcridan stated in the souse of
Commons, on May 4, that the infliction amounted to
51,300,000 per annum on commerce only,
As I egntend for the complete prevention of conflagra-
tions in Liverpool, I would willingly Show the enormous
saving th'at Might be made in insurance rate and Govern..
mentantyintiveVoul, This, however, it is the province of
the Corporatioff fo, dm- Let a statement be published of
: all the rates of insurance c:nd duty that are paid in
Liverpool.. it will then' be seers what is the pretizem
: Opet'ee of preVentiOn.
Loid Ahtuiltoti stated on May 4th that the
duty or "WI inkutanteg was unjust, impolitic, and
immoral, while those \lto' were taXed received nothing
from the State in return, for the Siat'C' had no appliances
for the suppression of fires, from which( thb• taxpayers
suffered."
Liverpool has it in its power (I undertake 4o she.*
them) to bring forth and use such appliances. Liver-
pool' has no need to court the sympathy of Alr. Glad-
. stone. " Aid thyself and God will help thee."—Your
obedient set V JOHN HORRIDGE.

A FRIENDLY BIT OF CHIT-CHAT
ABOUT

--iStAbweli: But do you mean to say that you have washed
all that lot of clothes before breakfast this morning 2
Thrifty : Oh, yes! it's easy enough now to get rid of all the
slap-dash, steam, and dribbling slops on a washing day in
good time, by using "HARPER TWELVETREES' SOAP
POWDER " and it makes the clothes beautifully clean and
white too; I assure you. It is so soft and healing to the hands,
and makes such a fine nice lather. Besides, I never rub our
clothe% and you know how black my shirts get at the
Foundry.
