THE -NEW DOCKS AT NEWPORT,
MONMOUTHSHIRE.
NEWPORT, TUESDAY MORNING.—The public cere-
mony of opening the new and splendid docks which
have just been completed at this port took place yes-
terday. The day was observed as a holiday by all
classes, and in all probability there never was a period
at which the town of Newport presented so animated
and gay an appearance. As might have been ex-
pected, the influx of strangers from the surrounding
districts of Usk, Tredegar, Monmouth, Caerleon, Car-
diff, &c., as well as from Hereford; Bristol, Gloucester,
and other more distant towns and cities, was unusually
great. It is calculated that there were from 5,000 to
10,000 strangers in the town.
The festivities of the day were commenced by a
splendid champagne breakfast, given by the worship-
ful the Mayor, Lewis Edwards, Esq., at his house,
to the members of the Corporation. After the repast
had been disposed of, the civic procession, consisting
of several barouches and four, accompanied by the
police and other public officers, proceeded down Stow-
hill, and over the bridge to the Caerleon-road, where
it had been arranged that the general cortege should
be formed, preceded by bands of music.
In the procession were the equipages of the princi-
pal noblemen and gentlemen of the neighbourhood;
those of the Lord Lieutenant (whose attendants were
dressed in their full court liveries of scarlet and gold),
and of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., Gen. Sir Digbv
Mackworth, Bart., and, Octavius Morgan, Esq., M.t
t:or the county, attracted considerable notice.
On arriving at the dock, where the ground was
kept by the. 73d regiment, commanded by Col. Love,
the cortege formed round the walls of the principal
dock, the Freemasons' and Odd Fellows' lodges occu-
pying the front rank. A very large fleet of vessels,
moored in the dock, were dressed out in their gayest.
flags, with their yards manned, and kept firing salutes
at intervals. The banks of the river, the surrounding
house-tops, &c., were crowded with spectators, and
there could not have been less than from 20,000 to:
30,000 persons present. The docks have been con-
structed at an expense of about 150,0001., and their
most prominent feature is the entrance lock, which
is the widest, and one of the longest in the known
world, and is capable of admitting into the dock the
largest ship in the British navy. The dimensions
of the lock are 64 feet in width and upwards of
200 feet in length. The depth of water 35 feet
6 inches. The civil engineer by whom they were
designed, and under whose superintendence they were
constructed, is Mr. Green. The contractors are
Messrs. Rennie and Co., who contracted largely on
the Great Western Railway. The works were com-
menced in 1835, but owing to difficulties, pecuniary
and otherwise, the progress was so retarded as to have
carried on the period of their completion to the pre-
sent time.
The inhabitants of Newport anticipate, as the result
of their completion, a very great increase in the com-
merce of their port, as the large ships of different
nations will now he enabled to lay their cargoes in
the port instead of having, as now, to have it carried
in small vessels to other ports and transshipped. A
very considerable carrying trade is also expected to
spring up, an expectation which would seem, to a
great extent, to be justified, when it is considered that
Newport is so closely connected with the following
extensive coal, iron, and tin-works :—Risca, Black-
wood, Gellygroes, Rock, Tredegar, Vartey, Hengced,
Bedwellty, Waterloo, Beaufort, Sirrhowy, Pennmaen,
Mannowl, Victoria, Union, .Penyban, Ebbw Vale,
Crwnlin, Pont-a-brig, Crwndruss, Abercarne, Blaine,
Great Rymney, Nantyglo, Gellyare, Blaenabon,
Pont:na-wynyd, Pont-y-moile, Stourbriclge Glynos.
Clyde, Cwmbram, Hanson's new tin-works, Caerleon;
Llanelly, &c.
The opening of the lock commenced at twenty
minutes past ten o'clock;and occupied twelve minutes.
The Usk steamer then took the Henry in tow, both.
vessels being covered with flags and streamers, and
proceeded with her into the dock. The Hercules
steamer followed, having in tow a ship called the
Great Britain ; the Eirene, Channel mission-ship,
having on board the Rev. Dr. Ashley, Channel chap-
lain, followed, and then came the Tiger steamer, tow-
ing in the Rothschild, of London. This noble vessel,
whose burden is above a thousand tons belongs to the
wealthy metropolitan firm of Rothschild Brothers.
The opening dinner took place in the afternoon in
the National School-room, erected a few years since
by the venerable and universally beloved Sir Charles
Morgan, of Tredegar. Covers were laid for upwards
of three hundred, and the company included all the
rank and fashion of the neighbourhood. Ladies were
admitted to the gallery,' who by their presence cheered
and animated the scene. The fine band of the
73d
.was also stationed in the room, and played
various marches, overtures, &c., in a manner which
elicited the frequent and loud plaudits of the com-
pany. The Chair was taken by R. Blakernore, M.P.,
and the Vice-Chair by Samuel Homfray, Esq., of
Bedwelty ; on the right and left of whom we observed
Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., M.P. ; Colonel Love, Com-
mandant of the South Wales district; Octavius Mor-
gan, Esq., M.P, for the county ; the Rev. A. Isaac-
son. Vicar of New wort ; the Rev. Dr. Ashley : Josiah
Baily, Esq., M.P. ; Major Dawson ; General Sir
Digby Mackworth, Bart. ; R. H. Blewitt, Esq., M.P.;
Colonel Vande Mutin ; Augustus Morgan, Esq. ;
William Booker, Esq., of Velendra ; L. Edwards,
Esq., Mayor of Newport ; Thomas Powell, Esq., of
the Gaer ; Captain Jones, of Llanwith ; William
Meyrick, Esq., of Gwylud-y-garth ; Somers Harford,
Esq., Sirrhowy ; 0. A. Wyott, Esq., &c.
On the cloth being removed, the CHAIRMAN pro-
ceeded to give the usual loyal and patriotic toasts.
In proposing the toast of the evening, "Prosperity
to the Newport Docks," the Chairman addressed the
meeting at very great length, pointing out the man-
ner in which they were calculated to promote the
commercial prosperity of the port and its neighbour-
hood, to assist in 'developing its manufacturing and
-mining advantages, and 'to render available the great
facilities afforded y the natural safety and excellence
of the river Usk. The Hon. Gentleman contended
that the importance of the neighbourhood demanded
the formation of such an undertaking, for it was a
fact that the commercial increase of their population
had greatly exceeded that of other parts of the king-
dom. In support of this argument he quoted from
various statistical tables, showing that the increase had
been 36 per cent. at every census, except that of 1821,
while the average of the kingdom had been only 14i
per cent. In alluding to the natural and local advan-
tages of the port, and the benefit likely to accrue
from the completion of the works, he compared the
cost of carriage between Birmingham and-Liverpool
and Birmingham and Newport, the former being from
15s. to 255., and the latter at the most only 10s. per
ton, affording en a quantity of 200,000 tons a saving
of 100,000/. The Chairman further referred to the
connection of their town with the mining and iron
districts, and concluded his speech by proposing the
toast, which was drunk with great applause.
" The County Members " having been drank,
OCTAVIUS MORGAN, Esq., returned thanks for him-
self and colleague.
The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Health of Sir
Charles Morgan, Bart."
Sir CHARLES MORGAN, returned thanks in an
eloquent speech.
The CHAIRMAN gave "The Health of the Member
for the Borough, R. H. Blewitt, Esq."
Mr. BLEWITT returned thanks.
Various other toasts were drank, and several ex -
cellent speeches delivered.
In the evening a very grand display of fireworks
took place, on th Rodney wharf, in the presence of
a very large concourse of spectators. A large beacon
fire was also lighted on the summit of the lofty moun-
tain, Twm Ba.rlwin, which was the signal for similar
bonfires on the summits of other eminences.
The day was altogther creditable to Newport and
its inhabitants.

3PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—We fully expected the attempt
which the Times and the Standard are making,
to throw on the New Pour-law the blame of the
,straitened means of the great consuming classes.
This attempt imposes upon us the duty of setting
the subject in a just light. ci The Excise reve-
nue," says the Standard, " and every other
branch. of revenue which depends upon general
consumption, has been steadily diminishing since
the New Poor-law. Bill Caine into operation.
This surely cannot be the effect of accident." It
is very well known that, for several years after
the passing of the new Poor-law, the Commis-
sioners were enabled, in their reports, to exhibit
a very considerable reduction in the expense
of the pauperism of the country. The mere
fact that so stringent a measure of amendment
had passed the Legislature, even before its pecu-
liar machinery had come generally into ope-
ration, produced the effect of restricting expendi-
ture, which that machinery was meant to pro-
duce.
It had always been in the power of the
parochial authorities to take for themselves those
restrictive measures which the law now estab-
lished generally; and, consequently, they did
take them, to such an extent as greatly to re-
duce the expenditure. Now, in those first years
of reduced Poor-law expenditure, were the great
branches of revenue impaired? Did that effect
result from the restriction of pauperism, which
the Times aid the Standard would have us
assign principally to that cause? So much the
contrary, that it is notorious, trade internal and
external, consumption, and, consequently, the
evenue, were never in a more flourishing situa-
tion. And when was this situation altered?
When Poor-law expenditure was still farther
screwed? When Poor-law machinery came in
fuller operation? It is mere treacherous
trifling to pretend this. It is notorious
Poor-law expenditure has increased again.
It is notorious that, in the manufacturing
districts especially, whose falling-off in the power
of consumption is acknowledged as so large a
part of the whole deficiency,—it is notorious,
we say, that in those districts, no general lavish-
ness of relief had existed, and that, in this last
year, the relief given has been doubled, or pro-
bably more than doubled. We regard theas.ser-
tion that the past and present scales of relief are
at the root of the difference in the past and pre-
sent conditions of the consuming classes, as a
diffin frocumlitielise.

It is well observed by Colonel Thompson, in
his piquant and original, if sometimes ec-
centric " Exercises," that "when a great op-
pression is to be maintained, the most effectual
way of doing it, whether by design or not,
is to get up an outcry of another oppression
somewhere else. If the rats in a cage were stock-

ing-makers, the best thing that could be done f►r
keeping them from resisting the master oppres-
sion which sets them all starving upon a limited

....•-••• •• ••••• ~,...., .•••.,•.. .....- - -
quantity•, of food, would be to persuade the work-
men rats it was all the fault of the master rats,
and so put them on trying their teeth on one
another, instead of the cage which is the foul'-
, dation of the mischief." But tactics even more
impudent then setting factory operatives against
employers, are those of diverting the working-
classes generally from the Coen-laws by de-
nouncing the Poor-laws. The whole question
being a food question (confessedly so, when
Poor-laws are made the cardinal point of it—
since Poor-laws simply mean food gratis), what
the labouring people are asked to believe is—
that a law for giving theta food gratis would
compensate them for the mischietS of another
law stinting the supplies of food.
STANDARD.—The history of the world
proves that manufacturing industry never begins
to arty extent in a country until agricultural in-
dustry has nearly reached its seeming limits; .
but though, doubtless, the preference which
every man will have for agriculture operates to
some extent, the more efficient cause for the re-
gular transition from agriculture to manufactures
is the accumulation of wealth, and the necessity
of fityling employment for it. A country once
cultivated up to a certain point must become
rich, for agriculture is the ultimate source of all
wealth, as it is only art that is ultimately pro-
ductice, and when men become rich, they of
course desire to become richer, and .to make
their wealth the means of farther accumulation.
New and inure profitable modes of agriculture
are tried—these, to their extent, depopulate the •
fields, and the field labourer is driven into
the manufactory, where wealth
is ready for
a time at least to give him employ-
ment. This is a process as unifiem and as
certain as any other governed
by the laws of
nature. Now a little attention to the considera-
tion laid down will explain why Germany
has made so little progress in manufactures. Ger-
many had been the seat of war for centuries;
but. in a country exposed to this affliction, neither
wealth, nor population,
nor even the art of agri-
culture, could advance at the natural rate; nay
more, in a country exposed to the possibility of
becoming the seat of war, neither can wealth,
population, nor art, make the natural progress?
Supposing, then, that a considerable amount of
capital has been realised in Germany by the
late practical freedom of our corn-trade--as
doubtless that trade has bad its usual effect of
transferring some of our wealth to those who sup-
plied us with food—it is still unlikely that the
German capitalists will, to any
considerable
ammeit, invest their money in manufactures.
A free trade with this country for half a
dozen, or ten years,
might, indeed, produce in
Germany that plethora of wealth and population
from which an inland nation can find relief only
in manutlictures ; but the time does not seem to
have yet arrived for German manufactures, and
until England shall transfer a little more of her
guarantees than any yet con-

cessive . enthusiasm upon which so much re-
liance is placed to change the habits of the
German people, is, if we ma_
y say it without
offence—and we are sure that we intend none.
one of those defects in the national character
which has, more than any other, tended to keep
the nation (speaking of the Whole German.po-
pulation as one) comparatively
, poor. They em-
bark inconsiderately in speculations beyond their
force, and of course fail. We have copied from
the Frankfort Journal an article
in which the
extreme enthusiasm of which We
speak will be
seen pourtrayed in picturesque, if not in carica-
ture. Music meetings and the like are cited,
! as
testimonies to the growing manufacturing pros-
perity of Germany. Alas for the
efficacy of
such agents. Music meetings will not invite
men to the eternal gasp and grban
of the
-steam-
engine; or the ceaseless thunders of the tilt-
hammer. To conclude, we repeat our profession
of indifference as to the resolutions of the Zoll-
verein, because we know that in the end these
resolutions must be waste paper.

The effect of the revenue return was a very slight
decline in the value of the public securities; indeed,
so slight that the tone of public feeling on the subject
could not be gathered. It is so well understood that
a very
small
portion
of the proceeds of the Property-
tax is represented by that item in this quarter's re-
turn, that the amount which is exhibited furnishes no
criterion whatever of the probable opprgiq_ _

THE SLAVE TRADERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—l have observed a paragraph in your valu-
able Evening Paper, of the 6th inst., headed " Slave
Trade," copied from the Journal du Havre, stating a
fabricated )ccurrence supposed to have happened be-
tween her Majesty's brig Rolla and a piratical armed
slaver, which article commences with an untruth and
ends with a falsehood. In the first place, the Rolla
never belonged to the Congo station, and was there
only
'a few hours, and then in company with her Ma-
jesty s sloop Persian. There is no slaving establish-
ment in the roadstead at the Congo, or within sight
of it. The Rolla never had a man killed by the
slaving pirates—reason why ! they always gave her,
and her boats, a wide berth. Very unfortunately for
her crew, and fortunately for the piratical clippers,
the Rolla did not sail very well. I beg to caution all
Editors of respectable papers not to be imposed on
by „specious reports from unprincipled slave dealers, or
their agents, who are all well known •to be the scums
of the earth, totally divested of every Christian prin-
' ciple, and void of every spark of humanity.—l am,
Sir, your obedient humble servant,
CHARLES HALL, Commander, late Rolla.
