NEWPORT. NEWPORT UNION.—The guardians of this union have taken a quantity of land to be used as a labour test for able-bodied paupers, and on which to employ the children in habits of in- dustry. The Irish applicants for relief are thus furnished with an opportunity of proving the truth of their general assertion that they are willing to work for their bread, and in the labour they will have to perform the union will get an equivalent for the relief given to them. REFUSAL OF THE TOWN-HALL FOR MR. HKNRY VINCENT. At a meeting of the Town Council held last week, Mr. Edward Thomas made an application for the use of the large room for six nights at one guinea a night to deliver six lectures on the Commonwealth of England, by the celebrated and popular lec- turer Henry Vincent. Several members were instantly up, protesting against even the name of Mr. Vincent—the politi- cal firebrand of 1839," as one gentleman was pleased to desig- nate him. However wishful the people of Newport may be to hear Mr. Vincent's celebrated lectures oil the Commonwealth, they shall not, if a few members of the council can by any means prevent them. To meet the objections which some members entertained against granting the use of the room Mr. Thomas consented giving the usual charge, viz. two guineas a night, but even that would not do the mayor argued that as the room was refused for a similar purpose last year, he considered it prudent to refuse it on the present occasion, but subsequently stated that he should be glad to hear Mr. Vincent as a private individual. We have referred to the subject elsewhere. CATTLE MARKET, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 14TII.Tlie market was well supplied this week with every kind of fat stock.
