DUTY ON FIRE IxstrtuarcEs.—Colonel SIBTHORE gave
notice that it was his intention, on an early day, to submit
a motion with the vie* of taking the sense of the house
on the subject of a reduction of the duty on fire insurances.
MILITIA BARRACKS.,-411 answer to a question Lord
PA.LMERSTON said that, at present, the only buildings
erected for militia purposes were the storehouses for the
ct reception of arms, cl thing, and accoutrements, and of a
certain portion of th permanent. staff, which, under the
law, the counties wee obliged to provide for them. By
the act of last session, the means of spreading the expenses
of erecting those buildings over a considerable period of
time-4 0 years, indeed-was given to the counties, and, if
at any time fresh barrack accommodation should be re-
quired for the militia, of course it would be provided by the
barrack department, and the expenses would fall as a
charge on the general revenue of the county, to be paid out
of the fund set apart for that purpose.
TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN.— In answer to a question
Lord J. RUSSELL said, it was not the intention of Her
Majesty's Government at present to introduce any mea-
sure with respect to Trinity College, Dublin; but it was

HOELUBLE OCCURRENCE.—The skeleton of a woman
was found on Sunday inside a fence, in the vicinity of
Bantry, which has caused the greatest sensation among
its inhabitants. Strange to say, the face remained unin-
jured, while the bones of the limbs and body were literally
bare of flesh, they having been devoured by dogs. What
remained of the body was immediately recognized to be
that of a woman named Sullivan, the wife of a comfortable
farmer living in the neighbourhood, who generally attended
the market, and bought butter in small quantities. On
Saturday she was known to have bought about £lO worth,
and on her way home, ft would appear, she got over the
fence for the purpose of getting on a more direct road not
100 yards off, when, from some accident, she was rendered
so far helpless as not to be able to protect herself from the
attack of starving dogs, with which that town and neigh.
bourhood are infested, and which are a great nuisance and
terror to the inhabitants.

PURGING A PROTESTANT HOUSIE.-It appears, by a
Romish paper, that a Mr. Skeahan, a Romanist, had lately
purchased the house and estate (but a small one) of Mr.
Drew, of Drewsborough, near Nenagh, in the Encumbered
Estates Court, upon which occasion it was necessary to
what is called in the Romish Church "purge the house,"
—that is, to clear it and cleanse it of all the spiritual im-
purities with which it was infected, having been inhabited
for generations by Protestant owners. Accordingly, on
Tuesday, the 24th ultimo, a scene of a novel nature took
place at Victoria Park (lately Drewsborough), the residence
of Michael Skeahan, Esq., late of Melbourne.. About
eight o'clock a.m., having previously blessed the different
apartments in the house, and sprinkled them with holy
water, repeating at the same time asperges me hysoppo,
&e., a Romish priest, Mr. Burke, offered up the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass. Masses in succession were then
offered up till twelve o'clock by the several clergymen who
had been invited. A large party sat down to breakfast,
and after breakfast the remaining portion of the day was
spent in recreation, until dinner, to which upwards of
sixty persons sat down. Therefore, it appears that it took
four hours' hard work of seven priests to perform the
ceremony. Every
room was blessed with holy water,
,
i masses on masses said in all parts of the premises ; and,
finally, high mass was celebrated. All this was done to
expel the heresies which the stones, the mortar, the tim-
ber, and slates had imbibed from the residence of the late
Prchestant inhabitants,

ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS,
LIVERPOOL, FEBRUARY, 1854.

During the last nine months a great advance has taken
place in the prices of BLACK TEA, viz., in many instances
6d. to 9d. per lb.-this is accounted for-by the internal
revolution in China-and the progressive reduction in the
Import Duty on Tea in England. Consequently a formidable
spirit of speculation arose, calculating upon deficient supplies
in the face of increasing consumption.

Throughout the excited state of the market we neither ad•
vanced our prices nor altered the standard of our usual
qualities, and have determined to continue the same till April
next—at which time a REVISED LIST OF PRICES will be fur•
nished according to the state of Imports from China.

As we confine our attention to the sale of Tea and Coffee—
observing QUALITY as a PRIMARY FEATURE in all transac-
tions—we are enabled to place these two very important
articles of domestic consumption before the Consumers upon
such terms that must tend to promote their interests as well
as our own.

RATE COMMITTEE ME. DITNCA.N!S SALARY.

The committee presented a recommendation to increase
the salary of Mr. Thomas Duncan, engineer, from £450 to
£6OO per annum, the consideration of which was postponed
at the last monthly Council, pursuant to the. standing
ordere.-
Mr.. HOLT, in moving that the salary of Mr. Duncan
be increased, stated that the recommendation arose entirely
from the Water Committee, Mr. Duncan having made no
application whatever on the subject. The committee,
however, from their own observation of Mr. Duncan's
services, had for some time back been of opinion that he
was underpaid.
Mr. W. EARLE seconded the proposition, which was
supported by Mr. LANGSDALE. •
Mr. GODFREY opposed the increase, being of•opinion
that £450 a year was sufficient. He moved an amendment.
Mr. BECKWITH seconded the amendment.
A discussion arose, in the course of which: Mr. Moss
moved that Mr. Duncan's salary be increased to £5OO.
Mr. GODFREY withdrew his amendment, and seconded
that of Mr. Moss. _ _ _ _

The amendment was then put to the vote, and negatived
by a majority of 37 to 10. The votes were as follow :
For Mr. Moss's Amendment :—Councillors• Thomson,
Moss, Godfrey, Jeffreys, Fleming, Robertson, Gladstone,
Nicholson, Beckwith, Henderson, and Clint. Against
it :•---Councillors Aked, Anderson, Mellor, William Nichol-
son, M`Guffie, Holden, Hornby, Avison, Holt, Banner,
Fernihough. James Holme, John Gladstone, jun., Mann,
.V staff, Shand, J. B. Brancker, W. Earle, Johnson,
Picton, Houghton, Hodson, Stewart, Robertson, and Boy-
den • Aldermen Langsdale, Bennett, Prestoth, Bold, Parker,
T. Robinson, Cooper, Turner, Gardner, Bramley-Moore,
andToulmin ; the Mayor.

The original proposition was then earrkd, and the
proceedings confirmed.

LIBRARY AND MIISEIIM RATE.

The-report of the committee recommended an increase
of the wages of Mr. Hudson from, 21s. to 255. per week,
the consideration of which was adjourned until the next
meeting. A rate under the provisions of the " Liverpool
Library and Museum Act, 1852," was ordered at the rate
of N. in the pound ; the amount to be levied from the
parish of Liverpool being £3,217 lls. Bd. • the township
of Everton,i £326 Os. 3d. ; Kirkd,ale, £ll2 lls. 7d.; and
West Derby, £265 ss. 11d.
The proceedings of the Hackney Carriage and Licensing,
and of the Baths Committee, were confirmed ; and the
Coroner's account, amounting to £34 5,5., was passed.

SHORT SUPPLY OP PERUVIAN GUANO.

The special committee appointed" to consider the present
short supply of Peruvian guano, and the best means of reme-
dying it,' have given much attention to the subject, and, on
their recommendation, the Council appointed a deputation to
wait on the President of the Board of Trade relative to it. As
the result of that conference a memorial to the Board of Trade
has been prepared, and has received the signatures of the pre-
sidents of the principal chambers of commerce in the king-
dom. It will be forwarded shortly, and your Council are led
to believe that her Malesty's government will press the sub-
ject on the government of Peru.
VIOLATION OF TREATIES BY THE PORTUGUESE
_ GOVERNMENT.

....
This subject, so important to English merchants resident
in any of the Portuguese dominions, has been brought before
the Council in relation to a particular case of hardship, which
your directors have suggested that the chamber should take
up, on the broad ground, as a question seriously affecting the
interests of all engaged in commerce with Portugal.
SHIPS' MORTGAGES. _

The Council are anxiously awaiting the promised measure
to provide for the repeal of the decision requiring the mort-
gages on ships to be carried forward on new registers. When
the bill makes its appearance, your directors will not fail to
carry out the instructions conveyed to them in the resolution
passed at the last annual meeting.
POSTAL_COMMUNICATIONS.

The attention of the Postal Committee has been directed
during the year to the postal arrangements as to communica-
tion with Australia, and they have urged upon the Admiralty
the adoption of the route via Ceylon and Suez ; also to the
withdrawal of the evening mail to Edinburgh and Glasgow,
which matter is still before them ; and to the want of regular
communication with Orkney Islands : this the government
has acceded to.
PILOTAGE BILL AND MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL.
These measures were submitted to a special committee ;
but, as named in the half-yearly report, nothing beyond a
general opinion could be expressed, owing to the ehortueso of
time allowed for consideration.
SURVEY CERTIFICATES.

The suggestions made by the special &fat Mittee to the Un-
derwriters Association as to ships' ;Amy certificates have
been adopted by that body ; but opinion has been ex-
pressed by several members of Vas chamber that further im-
provement, are required, P.M the committee, therefore,
continue to gin attentioil'co the matter.
