Mackenzie took objection to the parliamentary con- tract, more than half the amount being signed for by four of the directors.

DISTURBANCES IN BONNER'S FIELDS.
DISTURBANCES IN BONNER'S FIELDS. Mr. G. Thompson put a question to Earl Grey relative to the conduct of the police at the meeting in Bishop Bonner's fields oil Sunday last, which he considered, on. the faith of some re- presentations made to him by persons inhabiting the district, had been marked by violence and outrage. Sir G. Grey stated that he had received some complaints of the nature referred to, but he had also received an accumulated mass of evidence of a contrary character, proving that so far from the coaduct of the police having been unprovoked, or that any unnecessary interference took place, they could not have acted otherwise than they did, by repressing an attack that was wantonly made upon them, an attack destructive of pro- perty and dangerous to the lives of other parties (hear, hear), tie had received no less than eighty-one letters from different inhabitants of the district, all bearing concurrent testimony to the inconvenience resulting from these meeting;, and to the forbearance and firmness of the police. There was no wish whatever to interfere with meetings legally and constitutionally convened; but these meetings were of an entirely different character, the discussion of grievances being used as a mere pretext, and therefore in deference to the general wish of the inhabitants, the police had received orders to give that protec- tion to life and property which the circumstances of the case might require (cheers).
NAVIGATION LAWS.
NAVIGATION LAWS. The adjourned debate was resumed by Sir J. Walsh, who opposed the ministerial scheme, expressing apprehensions that Z, it would be fatal to British maritime supremacy, and that This country would be unable to maintain a competition under -an open system with the Americans and the Baltic powers. Mr. Macgrcggor spoke in favour of the ministerial plan, and cited some statistics to show the relative progress in navigation rude by the leading states. Mr. W. Miles supported the resolution moved by Mr. Harries, expressing his readiness to modify the navigation 1 tWS, so far as the import of foreign and colonial goods from European harbours was concerned, and in any other points where their operation might have been found restrictive or embarrassing to British commerce. Sir G. Clerk strongly advocated the abolition of a restrictive system, framed on mistaken views, the fallacy of which every succeeding year rendered clearer (hear). With reference to me mode of procedure, however, he thought it would have been a far preferable course to lay detailed resolutions on the table, embracing the principal points of the scheme, so as to place them in an intelligible form before the House and the country. From the neglect of the Government to do this, he feared that no progress towards the practical solution of the question could be made at the present advanced period of the session. Mr. Car dwell felt it impossible to vote for the resolution moved by his right hon. friênd (Mr. Harries), recollecting the pledge given by the House, in .Ln unanimous address, at the commencement of the session, to take into consideration this question, and the communications subsequently received from the Governments of Prussia and the United States—the one informing us that the advantages enjoyed by the British ship- ping in Prussian ports would be withdrawn, unless equal advantages in British ports were to be conceded to Prussians; the other inviting us to conclude an equal and satisfactory set- tlement upon terms of complete reciprocity. A nation with £ 30,000,000 of capital engaged in the shipping trade (and we were the only nation of which this could be said) might defy competition where the circumstances at all approached equality (hear, hear). The Chancellor of the Exchequer supported the Government proposition. After a few words from Sir C. Burrell, the debate was adjourned on the motion of Mr. Disraeli, and the House rose at half-past one.
HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, JUNE…
HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, JUNE 9. REGISTERING BIRTHS, &c. (SCOTLAND) AND MAR- IIIAGE (SCOTLAND) BILLS. Lord Campbell said that it had been suggested that these nills should be referred to a Select Committee. To that course he had no objection, and would, therefore, move that they be read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee. Lord Brougham seconded the motion, and observed that no- thing could be more unsatisfactory or uncertain than the pre- *nt°law relating to marriages in Scotland. The Earl of Selkirk in order to enter his protest against the reading of the Registration Bill on the journals, would Dye that it be rend a second time that day six months but he not propose to give the House the trouble to divide. The Earl of Eglinton, while admitting that the present sys- tem of registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Scotland required "amendment, objected altogether to the principle on which this bill proceeded. The Earl of Aberdeen said that he thought the better course w)UU be to proceed with the Registration of Births Bill at Once n i l to postpone the Marriage Bill for future consideration. The Dak- of Argyle objected to the Registration Bill on ac- count of its centralising character. He feared that its opera- tion would be to destroy local control altogether. The Duke of Montrose objected generally to the compulsory character which pervaded the whole bill. After a few words from Lord Wharncliffe, The Dake of Buceleueh did not wish to be understood as vlnf an unqualified assent to the bills before the House. "The Marquis of Breadalbane support the bills, and stated that they were generally approved of in that part of Scotland with which he was connected. \fter an observation from the Earl of Mxnto, the amendment w n >"■ itived without a division, and both bills were read a jjond tiUl-" and ordered to be referred to a Select Committee.

~ NAVIGATION LAWS—ADJOURNED…
NAVIGATION LAWS—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Lord G. Bentiuck was at a loss to learn any just grounds Z, .3- ,r making a change in the navigation laws. He was aware That in the absence of any other petitions a great deal had been made of petitions from Canada and the Liitish West I idiea for an alteration of the n ivig ition laws. He was aware flit in a moment of excitement, when the colonists were suf- 1' 'rii1^ from the effects of their free-trade measures, they, like like drowning men catching at straws, did ask for a repeal of those laws. The m mufacturing reformers over the way talked f cutting down some seventeen mil ions of the expenditure upon our army and upon our navy.. Did they reflect that if they destroyed our mercantile marine, they must, if they de- sired to keep the country properly protected against the chance in;o a large addition to our navy, and conse- quently to our expenditure? Mr. "Hume denied that the object of those who advocated present measure was in any wa\ to injure- the marine of this country. On the contrary, it was their deure 3 ither to improve the condition of that service than o dsitiri >- rate it. It was to him a matter of great surprise that u. rdeaxl as English shios were, they had been able to compete with fo- r jgncrs. But one let the existing impediments be removed, •ri.i the imouiso given to British enterprise—both commercial uJ maritime industry—would be increased in a tenfold degree. Tor all these reasons he should support the resolution. Admiral Bowles feared that the House was legislating rashly, nd that before long the country would repent it. Mr. Cobden said that he had heard with regret the constant ••"ference to physical force arguments, which were so much condemned when urged by the working class (oh, oh). He must say he heard with regret the boasting language respecting English naval supremacy. The abolition of the navigation laws would not affect the naval condition of Great Britain. But was this a time to be always singing, "RuleBritannia" (laughter). If hon. members opposite ha I served with him upon the co.n- mittee on the ariuv, navv, and ordnance estimates, they would have a just sense of the cost.of that song (hear). The constant assertion of warlike maritime supremacy was calculated to pro- voke kindred passions in other nations, while, if Great Britain announced the doctrines of peace, she would invoke similar -smtiments from the rest of the world. With this view he was anxious", while prepared to maintain every just right tor the j £ f„Ush people, to identify this nation with peace, and by re- movies the obstacles which the navigation laws presented to IVee trade tint freedom of intercourse between nations, to blend Hfcition-; together in interest, and thereby place one of the most potential obstacles in the way of war. Mr D' Israeli said that he ltt least would not incur the responsi- bility, even by his humble vote, of endangering that en.pire that 1 beea "aiilcd by so much valour, and guarded with so much v that empire which w;\s bx^ad-r than b^tli t-ie Ame- ricas, and extended farther than the farthest Ind-that empire which had been foreshadowed by the genius of a Blake, and consecrated by the blood of a Nelson—the empire of the seas (cheers). Sir Robert Peel'said that if he could acquiesce in the opin- ion of the noble lord and those who agreed with him, that the experience of the last two years had been sufficient to demon- strate the impolicy of those principles on which, in the years 1842 and 1816, the commetcial ariff of this country was revised and regulated, he should not be surprised at their conclusion, not to apply those principleo to our commercial marine but, notwithstanding the experience of the last two years, his opin- ion remained unshaken as to the principles by which our com- mercial intercourse with other nations should be regulated (hear, hear). Lord John Russell said, I am convinced it is the duty of this House to act according to the knowledge of the times and I am convinced that if they were to refuse to go into committee, if they were to keep up these restrictions because they existed in former times, this House would properly deserve the phrase of recklessness and ignorance. But I am, on the other hand, convinced that by removing these restrictions you will draw closer those bonds of amity with foreign nations which are ready to act with you, and give a prooof of the great destinies that await you. The House divided, when there appeared- For Mr. Herries's amendment 177 Against it 294 Majority in favour of Government 117 The following Welsh members voted with the majority of 294 -Sir R. B.

NEWPORT.
NEWPORT. MYNYDDISLWYN.—On the 31st ult., Rosser Williams, Esq., Penrhiwfraine, gave tea to all the pupils of the British school, at Mynyddislwyn, which were 100 in number. Mr. William. has acted very liberally since the commencement of the school at the above place. He presented the committee a piece of ground for the erection of the school-room, and subscribes liberally toward the support of the school. Should we see more liberal men in Wales, doubtless education would be more flourishing throughout the principality. After tea, the children were addressed by Messrs. E. E. Jones, and M. Ellis. At 6, a public meeting was held in the chapel, when the Rev. M. Ellis, presided. After the meeting was opened in a very appropriate and eloquent speech by the Chairman, the audience was then addressed by T. S. Williams, and W. E. Davies, Jerusalem and E. E. Jones, Glynbraenar. The addresses were on behalf of the school at this place, and the Memorial to the Queen. The mottoes of the meeting was, No Government interference," "No Government Grant," "No Commissioner admitted here. POLICE, MONDAY, JUNE (Before the Mayor, W. Jen- kins, Thos. Hughes, Thos.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS.—On Monday last, the annual procession of the different schools in the Newport Sunday School Union took place, when about 100 children walked from their various school-rooms into Mr. Allen's field, near Stow-liill, where the Rev. Mr. Gilman prayed, and the Rev. Mr. Jones, Wesleyan Minister delivered a most appropriate address to the teachers. The children of thc different schools were then regaled with tea and cake. The evening was delightfully spent in tea- parties for the teachers and friends of Sunday schools, when numerous addresses were delivered by the various ministers.

REFORM MEETING AT NEWPORT.
REFORM MEETING AT NEWPORT. On Tuesday evening a meeting was held at the Town Hall in this town, to take into consideration the propriety of supporting Mr. Hume's motion for a further extension of reform. About seven o'clock, the hall was well-tilled. We observed among many others present, Rtv. W. Allen, Mr. T. F. Lewis, W. Williams, Mr. S. Iggulden, T. M. Llewellin, Esq., R. J. Blewitt,Esq., Acr.P, J. Corsbie, Esq., T. B. Batchellor, Esq., R. Mullock, E^q., W. Evans, Esq.,G. Gething.E-iq., L. Edwards, Esq.,— Norris,E<q., Rev. J. Yo- rath,, Mr. J. Tombs, Mr. W. Tombs, Sir. J.- Davis. Rev. W. Thomas, Mr. E. Thomas, Mr. E. V. Jenkins, Mr. T. Jones, Mr. Carns, Mr. Morse, Mr. W Edwards, Mr. W. Townsend, &e., &e. Mr. Blewitt, the hon. member for the borough, entered the room, and w..s rece.ved with loud and enthusiastic cheers. T. Llewellyn, Esq., was unanimously voted to the chair; and in opening the meeting briefly stated the objects for which it was called. He then called upon Mr. Thomas, who rose to propose the first resolution which was to the effect that the House of Com-, mons did not represent the people of ihis country, and that further reform was necessary. He was in favour of the new poLticd league for the attainment of universal suffrage (cheers), which he regarded as a necessary right to constitute a proper representation of t'ae peop'e. He was glad to see that Mr. Blewitt w. s o le of the adherents of the new movement, and hoped he would be sup- ported in his endeavour to work a cha ige in the manner of con- ducting the affairs of the country. Ia the first place he might venture to say that England was the heaviest taxed nation in the world. He gave various statistics in proof of this, and appealed to the audience whether they would not unite with him in seeking a cliaiige-iii remodelling the House of Commons; and in remov- ing the naval and military members from that house (cheers). He was also anxious to see the separation of Church and State, because he considered tl at they should not be connected. After expressing his confidence in Mr. Hume, and his determination to support the new movement, the speaker concluded by moving the resolution. (For resolutions see our advertising columns). Mr. Corsbie, in seconding the resolution, sard they were indebted to Mr. E. Thomas for the remarks he had made in support of it, and lie hoped it would be adopted. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and unanimously adopted, amidst- loud cheers. Mr. Alderman Mullock was called to move the second resolution. He said the resolution met with his entire approbation, although he wished to go further (cheers). Hather than have nothing at all let us have this. He considered it a good stepping-stone (cheers). He pitied Lord John Russell because he was a little man- little men cannot see over the heads of the people, and know what was going forward amongst the multitude. He wished Lord John was present at such meetings as the one before him, as it would con- vince him of his error. lie hoped he would be soon tnoroughly enlighfened (hear, hear). Mr. Iggulden seconded the resolution, and in reference to Lord John liuAsell's declaration-that there was no turtlier reioim re-, quired, he quoted Lord Chatham's assertion that taxaaon witnom representation was oppression;" and said that they were there that tv n ng to deny that the middle and working classes weie satis- red and that they were determined to persevere in their attempts to o! ta;n fuither reform. 1 he resolution was adopted unanimously, amidst loud cheers. 1-.L-. John lingers, in proposing the next resolution, said that he should n t have appeared as a speaker had not duty imperatively calhd him to do so. With modesty lie would say he was a Char- tist and with the name or without it, he should like to Lave the Charter (Ioucl applause). He supported Mr. Hume's motion, ho -vtver, because lie considered they should take part if they could not get the whole and emphatically called upon the meet- ingto unite for the purpose of procuring a luriher extmsion of reform. Mr. Councillor T B. Batchellor seconded the resolution. Mr. Councillor T. Turner, in rising to move the adoption of a I etition to the House of Commons, aid he was an advocaje of the Charter entire, and nothing less (great cheers). He was not s L- tisfid with Lord John's finality (renewed cheers). The people do w nt reform, full and entire reform Lu. while if was lot pro- bable we could get such, he would be content with what we could get; he therefore proposed a petition to the House of Commons to convince Lord John of his mistake, (cheers). Mr. Councillor W. Evans briefly seconded the resolution. The Chairman then proceeded to read the petition for the adoption of the meeting, but after proceeding a few lines, he was interrupted by Mr. Blewitt, who said the petition was deficient in form in stating what had been said by Lord John Russell in the House, which should be left out. The petition might be ob- jected to on that ground, because the House never recognised newspaper reports of what is said in the House. The petition was therefore withdrawn, and a resolution passed to have another written embodying the resolutions adopted at the meeting in due form, which was carried by the show of a forest of hands, against which one solitary hand appeared. A general cry was now raised for Mr. Blewitt, who came for- ward and said that of every opportunity he had appeared amongst them, he had never felt more proud of his constituency than he had that evening. The cool, calm, and forbearing aspect of all present he admired, especially as he well knew that many of them held views not entirely in unison with, but widely differing/rom, the proposition before the meeting. It was by such dignified and enlightened conduct on their part they were most likely to carry their object. He regretted to say that the chance to carry the reform called for was not very great, in the House of Commons. He was sadly disappointed when he entered the present new Parliament. He was sorry to be compelled to state that liberal opinions had retrograded in that Ilouse. He found that the people's cause had but few advocates there. The liberal members had made several attempts to attract the attention of the Government to the reduction of unnecessary establishments, &c., but it was utterly vain and useless. Then, said the hon. member, what were We to do, when we could obtain no hearing? We said we must go to the people (great cheers). But in order to go the people, we thought it necessary to lay before them the measures we thought most likely to succeed with the House, and at the same time to give the people that power over the representation which would result in some good to themselves. For his own part he saw no objection to make the representation universal (hear, hear). He had no objection to meet the people at any time; he had no objec- tion to appear before the community generally, every man, woman, and child. He wanted legislation for the whole community, and all party legislation done away with for ever. The Reformers of 18152 are the Tories of the present day. There was no depending upon any of them—there was no truth in any single one of them (great cheers). When he entered Parliament he was astounded to hear Lord J. Russell's first finality speech, and he, the great advocate of progress at one period, had the daring to proclaim the same sentiment in the present Parliament, and to say the people neither require nor desire reform (shame). Away with such men (hear). He wanted a representation that would enable the people to tell the members and the government to go about their business when they were of no more Use to them. Since 183-5, the taxation of the country had increased E9,000,000 per annum (shame). Do you feel satisfied with this (no) ? Should you like to reduce the national expendi- ture (yes, yes) ? Your voice ought to be heard. The place- men say you are satisfied in the face of which I admire your calm magnanimity. If I shall have an opportunity,—if I can catch the Speaker's eye, which is no easy matter, I can assure you,—I shall tell them of this meeting, and what it wishes to have done. There is much to be done. I wish to do what is right (Fortlw remainder see first page.)

Zravc anb COMMERCE. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MONDAY, JUNE 12.—There was but a small show of land-car- riage samples of Wheat to-day from Essex and Kent, and our millers showing more inclination to purchase, fine qualities sold pretty readily at fully the prices obtained on Monday last. We had several country buyers of Foreign Wheat at market, but as the holders would not sell on IdNver terms, but little business was done. Fine Flour held much the same. The demand for Barley was very limited, and in Malt not much doing. Beans were dull sale and Is. cheaper, having further arrivals from Egypt. Peas sold Is. to 2s. cheaper, with very few buyers. Good Oats were scarce and met a quicker sale at fully last week's prices. In Linseed Cakes not much doing. We have had some fine rains here in the last few days.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.
LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. TUESDAY, JUXK 1,3.-The imports from Ireland and coastwise, since Tuesday last, are extremely limited. There are no supplies from British colonies, and only 2,24-5 quarters of Indian Corn from the United States; but from other foreign ports several cargoes, comprising Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Indian Corn, have arrived. The exports in the same time amount to 175 quarters of Wheat, 8,053 quarters of Indian Corn, 4,410 barrels of Corn Meal, 288 sacks and 2,317 barrels of Flour. The weather continues showery and the temperature low for the season; the reports of the growing crops are, however, generally more favourable, though not of a brilliant character. There has been a slight revival in the demand for Indian Corn and Corn Meal, a id the few transactions reported were at Is. to 2s. per quarter, aad 6d. to Is. 6J. per barrel, advance on the low rates current on Tuesday. In Wheat and all other articles the businc-s has been to a fair extent for immediate use, without any material variation in prices. At this day's market there was a* fair attendance of the trade and a moderate show of samples of Wheat, Oati, and Flour. The deaiand for Wheat was without animation, but a fair retail business was transacted, and without any material variation in the prices of this day week- There was very little inquiry for Oats or Oatmeal, and both were easier to purchase. Barley being scarce was fully as dear but Egyptian Beans were more plentiful, and Is. per quarter cheaper, at which a few thousand quarters were sold. ihe demand tor Flour was not lively, bat American brought (kl. per barrel, and Irish Is. per sack advance Oil previous rates.
SMITH FIELD.
SMITH FIELD. MON'XI.VY, JUXE 12.—From our own grazing districts the arri- z, vals of Blasts fresh up this morning were seasonably extensive, and of fair average quality. Although the attendance of buyers was numerous, and the numbers of Beasts were not so large by several hundreds as on Monday last, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, last week's prices. The extreme figure for the best Scots was 4s. per 81 bs. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, consisted of about 1,700 Scots and short-horns. From the western and midland districts 700 Herefords, runts, Devoirs, &c.; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds, and from Scotland 344 horned and polfed Scots. A further increase took place in the supply of Sheep, but a falling off was observed in the quality of that description of stock. Prime Down qualities were mostly disposed of at full, prices. Otherwise the Mutton trade was heavy, at a reductioll in value of 2d. per 81bs., and a clearance was not effected. Lambs, the supply of which was good, moved off heavily at, in some instances, a decline in the quotations of 2d. per 81bs. Only eighty- five head came to hand from the Isle of Wight. In Calves and Pigs exceedingly little business was doing, and prices ruled quite 2d per 81bs. beneath those realised on this day se'nnight. 'Price per stone of Sibs. (nuking the offal).

PROVISION MARKET.
PROVISION MARKET. MoxOAT, JiTXE 12.—With no activity in the demand for Irish Butter, the sales in the past week were few and unimportant. There has been a steady demand for all descriptions of fine or good old Cheese, and prices are fully maintained. The new will soon begin to appear, but the demand we expect will take all off as soon as they COllW into the market. Foreign Cheese in abundance and prices low. In English Butter we have lloalteratiou to note since our last the supply is liberal, and prices have a downward tendency. BLitter, Per ewt., s. a. Cheese, per cwt. a. s.
