ISLE OF MAN.

Mr. EWART wished to ask the Secretary to the
Treasury whether the measures proposed to be adopted
in reference to the fiscal changes in the Isle of Man are
yet prepared ; and, if so, when the Government pro-
poses to lay the same before the house ? Also, whether,
it is intended that such measures shall affect importations
made under the licences ending the 30th day of June
next ? Also, whether any and what measures have been
• adopted to promote a more frequent communication by
mail with that island during the winter months ?
Mr. WILSON said the proposed changes with regard
to the import duties of the Isle of Man were in a state
of forwardness, but he was not prepared to state exactly
when they would be brought on. The import •duties,
however, would be extremely small, while the system of
licences would be abolished.
PRISON DISCIPLINE.

Sir H. HALFORD wished to ask the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, with reference to a
petition from the Justices of Peace for the county of
Leicester, in Quarter Sessions assembled (presented 20th
April), whether it is in contemplation by her Majesty's
Government to introduce any measure for adaptation
of the law regarding prisons to the system of the
individual separation of prisoners, as applied to those
under sentence of hard labour, and generally in order
to carry out the recommendation of the select com-
mittee of this house on prison discipline in 1850 ?
Lord PALMERSTON said he presumed this ques-
tion applied to a communication which was made
to his predecessor by the magistrates of Leicester.
The magistrate of the Leicester Prison established a
rule in the prison, that persons sentenced to hard
labour should be employed eight hours a day turn-
ing a crank, and if they objected or refused to
do so they should be deprived of a certain portion of
their daily meals. That regulation his predecessor, how-
ever, decided was contrary to law ; and if the hon. baro-
net who put the question wished to know whether it was
the intention of the Government to bring in an act to
legalise such a regulation, his answer must be that it was
not.
London, England, 1853-05-03

TEA DUTIES.

Mr. MOFFATT wished to know when it was pro-
posed to bring in the regulations for effecting the reduc-
tion of the tea duties, and if it was intended they should
take immediate effect 1

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the course which the Government proposed to take,
after the vote on the income tax should be disposed of,
was this :—They would then take the legacy duties ;
after the legacy duty it would be proposed to take the
second reading of the Income Tax Bill. It would be
proposed to take the second reading of the Spirit Duties
Rill, and after this to go into committee on the Income
Tax Bill, the Government not wishing to loose any time
in carryingthis latter measure through its various stages.
After that bill should have been disposed of the Go-
vernment would at once proceed with the whole of the
resolutions relating to the Customs duties, and it was in-
tended that these resolutions should take effect from the
time they were agreed to, and reported to the house.

SALE POSTPONED UNTIL TUESDAY, the 31st of MAY.
MR. ROBINS begs to inform the public ho
has received instructions from the Western Australian Laud
Company to offer for SALE, by Public Auction, at the Mart, London,
on TUESDAY, May 31st, in Lots, (unless previously disposed of by
Private Contract, of which due notice will be given) their

• EXCEEDING 130,000 ACRES,

being the residue of the Estates of the Western Australian Land
Company undisp'osed of, which the Directors are required to offer to
Sale, by Public Competition, for the winding up of the affairs of that
Company. A large portion of the Estate has been accurately sur-
veyed, and the present affords an admirable opportunity to enter-
prising capitalists to acquire a
LARGE AND VALUABLE TERRITORY IN THIS BRITISH
COLONY,

for agricultural operations, wish much probability even of

AURIFEROUS PRODUCE,
inasmuch as a portion of the Land forms a continued line or range,
similar in character to

Mr. Robins feels he may with every certainty recommend these
lands as

THE NUCLEUS OF A GRAND SCHEME

for future deveiopment, which, under skilful management, mist not
only lead to a most profitable result, but ultimately become a
MINE OF WEALTH
to the lucky adventurers.

SAVINGS BANKS.

Mr. WHALLEY wished to ask the Secretary of the
Treasury whether it is intended to afford further protec-
tion for savings banks deposits, and generally to provide
for the more economical administration by the Govern-
ment of these institutions.

Mr. WILSON said his right hon. friend the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer had already given notice of hi.
intention to bring in a bill for improving the manage"
ment of savings banks, and that intention he still ad-
hered to. His right hon. friend was only deterred from
putting it in force now by the position of the budget.

distinguished persons who have accepted invitations to
be present at the inauguration on the 12th inst. The
train will start from Euston station about eight in the
morning on the 11th, and it is expected that the boat
in connection with it will reach Kingstown between six
and seven in the evening.

Taxes. on Knowledge will soon be swept away
entirely. - Taxes on mental purification and intel-
ligence must soon follow taxes on soap and cleanli-
ness. They are a thorough disgrace to an edu-
cating age. Why should not the harmless
sheet of news which everybody would read,
down to the village rustic, find its way, by
railway, van, carriers' cart, and every species of
conveyance, as freely and cheaply as the innumer-
able sixpenny and penny monthlies and weeklies
which manage, with wonderful promptitude, to
appear a day or two after publication in every
nook of the land ? Perhaps, however, it were
absurd indeed to dream of anything but education
in clerical strait-jackets, under a cabinet of Con-
servatism, Whiggism, and Puseyism, with a
scarcely perceptible tinge of Radicalism. Coali-
tions must do things at least by halves, and even
quarters.

Taxes on Rtrowledge will soon be swept away
entirely. Axes on mental purification and intel-
ligence must soon follow taxes on soap and cleanli-
ness. They. are a thorough disgrace to an edu-
cating age. Why should not the harmless
sheet of news which everybody would read,
down to the village rustic, find its way, by
railway, van, carriers' cart, and every species of
conveyance, as freely and cheaply as the innumer-
able sixpenny and penny monthlies and weeklies
which manage, with wonderful promptitude, to
appear a day or two after publication in every
nook of the land ? Perhaps, however, it were
absurd indeed to dream of anything but education
in clerical strait-jackets, under a cabinet of Con-
servatism, Whiggism, and Puseyism, with a
scarcely perceptible tinge of Radicalism. Coali-
tions must do things at least by halves, and even
quarters.

PIRACY IN BORNEO.

Mr. T. BARING wished to ask the First Lord of the
Admiralty whether any, or what, measures have been
adopted by her Majesty's Government to protect British
commerce against piratical proceedings on the coast of
Borneo ?

- Sir J. GRAHAM said representations had been made
to the Government on this subject ; and in consequence
of these representations, orders had been sent out to the
admiral commanding on the West India station, request.
ing him to exercise his discretion in taking precautionary
measures against any anticipated acts of piracy. At the
same time, orders had been given to the admiral that
there must be some evidence of piratical intentions be
force was resorted to, and further the admiral was
informed that it was not the policy of the Government
to coerce or make any accession of territory on the main
land of Borneo.
London, England, 1853-05-03

SECONDARY PUNISHMENTS.

Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to know when it was
proposed to make the Government statement on the
subject of secondary punishments ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said that was a subject which
was likely to lead to considerable debate, and he could
not therefore name a day for bringing it on until after
the commercial plans of the Government were d4osed
of.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

By the Hotspur we have received papers from the
Cape down to the Bth of March.
The pacification of the colony was progressing, and
the Cape Town mail of the Bth informs its readers that
Macomo, Sandilli, and the other Gaika chiefs had agreed
to all General Cathcart's conditions. The formal pro-
clamation of peace was expected by the next post. The
Gaika tribes which had been expelled from the Amatolas
and driven across the Kei were to be located on the
Thomas and Upper Kei rivers, in close proximity to the
Basutos.
