DUTY ON SALT.
Mr. WILBRAHAM begged to ask the Right Hon. the
President of the Board of Control, whether it was the inten-
tion of his Majesty's Government to take any steps to put an
end to the monopoly enjoyed by the East India Company in
the manufacture of Salt ?
Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said his attention had been di-
rected to the subject since he came into office. The Hon.
Member was not perhaps aware that the income of the Com-
pany on the manufacture of salt amounted to 1,600,0001.
per annum—(Hear). He was notaviare that the. Government
intended to make any alteration in the law relating to this
subject. The despatches sent out to the Indian Government
on the 15th of April last, left the monopoly in the same con-
dition as it had previoUsly stood. He begged to assure the
Hon. Member that the subject should have his best attention,
and that he would endeavour to make such an arrangement as
would be satisfactory. . .
Mr. WILBRAHAM gave notice that next session he should
bring forward a measure upon the subject.
A Message from the Lords informed the House that their
Lordships had agreed to several Bills sent up from that House.
Sir GEORGE CLERK presented a petition from a place
in Scotland, against the immoderate use of ardent spit its.
TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE.
Mr. ROBINSON presented a petition from members of a
society for the encouragement of the Fine Arts at Worcester,
p;•aying for a repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge.
Mr. HUME presented a petition to the same effect from
between 2,000 and 3,000 intabitants of Bristol. He hoped a
reformed Parliament would recollect that an educated people
were more easily managed and better conducted than an igno-
rant people.
Mr. HANDLEY presented a petition from the borough of
Stamford in favour of the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill.
Mr. IL STEWART presented a petition from Hadding -
t-m in favour of the Bill for the abolition of Imprisonment for
Debt.

CORPORATION REFORM.
Mr. GISBORNE presented a petition to which he wished
to call the earnest attention of the House. It. was from the
Deputies of several corporate towns and boroughs, at present
in London, expressing their regret at the decision the House
had come to last night with respect to the 10th clause of the
Municipal Corporation Loud cries of " Hear, hear.")
They were most anxious that this petition should be presented
before any further discussion took place upon that measure.
„ • REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS.
Sir MICHAEL SHAW STEWART, seeing the Member
for Haddington in his place, begged to ask whether he meant
to proceed with his Bill for the Registration of Births, Mar-
riages, and Deaths ?

_
Mr. ROBERT STE WART, in answer to the Hon. Ba-
rone‘t, begged to state that it was not his intention to pro-
ceed with this Bill in the present Session, but having
twice had the honour to introduce the measure to the House, he
begged to state, injustice to the House and to himself, that his
reason for abandoning the Bill was from a conviction that it
was a measure which could only be satisfactorily carried
through the House as a Government measure, aad as his
Majesty's Ministers had been urgently called upon to intro-
duce a measure for establishing •an uniform system of re-
gistration throughout the whole empire, hg (Mr. R. S.)
had determined to press his bill no further at:present, in the
earnest hope that that important question would be taken up
by them early in the ensuing session.

Mr. HAWES presented a petition from John Pilgrim
one of the parties in custody under the Speaker's warrant
for a breach of the privileges of the House of Commons.
The Hon. Member felt it his duty to lay certain facts stated
in the petition before the House. The petitioner had been 30
years precaang this chair a confidential clerk .to the firm
of • Sewcli, Blake, and Sewell, solicitors of Norwich, and he
stated that he had been entirely under their control; also,
tt:at when be left England to go to Canada, in order to evade
the execution of the Speaker's notice, that he was' asked
by the House of Sewell to give a note, which he did,
for the purpose of giving a colour to his absence ; and tbat
he received the sum of twenty pounds to pay his expense s.
when absent, however, he became naturally anxious to get
hemp and see his family. On returning to Norwich he was
arrested on a criminal charge, and he now states that what-
