PRIVY COUNCIL.—At the Privy Council appointed to
be held on Monday next at Windsor Castle, the prin-
cipal official business to be transacted is understood to
be the setting before her Majesty the roll of high
sheriffs of the various counties. The ancient ceremony
to be observed is, we believe, thus :—The list of names
will be submitted to the Queen, and her Majesty will
thrust a golden bodkin through the paper, and which-
ever name is pierced, the same becomes high sheriff.
OFFICIAL PROMOTION.—The Customs authorities have
issued a general order to all the ports in the kingdom,
directing, that in the case of an officer removed from
one part to another on promotion, the amount of
salary due to him to the date of his giving up charge of
his office should be paid before he quits the port ; any
subsequent payment in consequence of such removal and
promotion being subject to the directions of the au-
thorities in the matter.

STATE OF THE CHURCH MARKET.—Messrs. Shuttle-
worth and Sons, the auctioneers, in their February list
of property for sale, -remark on the demand which exists
for property of various descriptions, and add that " ad-
vowsons and church property are sought with avidity,
and maintain their value."
