22 oyster bed
24 Androcles
22 mussel bed?
hieroglyph looks OK but I am not fully sure of the wordplay.
oyster bed looks better ^
14d) yes HIEROGLYPH [=sign]
i = I
brought up blood = 'gore' reversed = EROG
clear fluid heart skipping = LY(m)PH
under hospital = put H first

h i erog lyph

24a) ANDROCLES[=lion tamer]
with = AND
responsibilities = ROLES
to entertain first of Circusgoers = put C in the middle

AND ROcLES


2d) DISAGREE [=start an argument]
wind up = 'gas' reversed = SAG
terrible = DIRE
troublE ultimately = E

DIsagRE E

16a) PEERAGE [=rank] - pee rage
hieroglyph i plus gore reversed + Ly(m)ph under h
16 pee + rage
