| NEWPORT is a pleasant and populous town, seated on the side of the river Medina which forms a navigable communication between it and Cowes, for vessels of small burden. |
| The government of the town is vested in a mayor, aldermen, &c. and the corporation send two members to parliament. |
| About a mile and a half from Newport, on the summit of a hill, stands Carisbrook Castle, remarkable in history for having been the Prison of Charles the 1st, the window is still shewn from which he attempted to escape. Nothing certain can be said as to the original building of this venerable monument of antiquity, but it is highly probable, that both the ancient Britons and the Normans might have availed themselves of this advantageous situation; nevertheless, it is certain, no part of the present building can claim so high an antiquity. It was re-built in the reign of Henry the 1st, and again repaired in that of Queen Elizabeth. |
| The house of industry, is one of the best regulated and commodious in the county, and is the only one in the island. The poor are employed in the manufacturing of sacking, dowlas, stockings, &c. the profits of which have caused a considerable diminution of the poors rates; it is capable of holding 700 persons. |
| The grand military depot or barracks, is situated about a mile from this town, they are worthy of attention from their great extent, beautiful situation, and extreme cleanliness. |
| The church is a very ancient building, situated in the centre of the town, the tower of which contains a peal of eight musical bells. |
| There are also several places of public worship for various denominations of dissenters. |
| The town hall is an elegant structure, built from a design presented to the corporation by the celebrated architect, Mr. Nash. |
| The free school, which is aplain stone building, with convenient apartments for the master, was built by public subscription in the reign of James the 1st. The school room, which is fifty feet long, is remarkable for being the place in which the commissioners from the parliament, held a conference with King Charles the 1st. |
| There are also several charity and Sunday schools in the town. |
| Newport has lately been lighted with gas. |
| Its clean and well paved streets, handsome assemblage of shops, and good inns, render it a place of fashionable resort in the summer season, where numerous parties of nobility and gentry enjoy the beautiful scenery of this fairy island, by quitting the bathing places for the recreation of a ride to this town. |
| The market is held on Saturday, for corn, cattle, &c. and there is a fair on Whit Monday, for pedary, &c. |
| The population is 4,059 inhabitants. |
