We publish this morning in the WEEKLY MAIL another of a series of articles on some mspects of modern AToneorformity, from the pen of a Dissenting Minister well-known in Nonconformist social and literary circles. These articles will embrace descriptive and critical notices of the various phase* of Non- conformity, and while avoiding anything approaching a narrow and sectarian view of the matters dealt with, will, it ia hoped, be characterised by a breadth and liberality of treatment which will render them interest. ing and valuable contributions to the litera. ture of the day.

BATURDAY, JULY 3. 1830, 08r. CAMBRIAN WEATHERCOCK; OB, THE WAY THB WIND ELOWS De omnibus rebut et quibusdam aim, COMPULSOEY THBIFT. CCMPULSORY thrift is a phrase which Enghstnr.en are scarcely familiar with. Bat it represents a real phase of French liis. For fX&IU!¡)Ø. aîti: the terrible dipclosuiva Ot the Franco Prussian War of 1870 71. non oraar was inauo exacting frrm Women -4b5iit to £ r.&< ry a; my a d.Jt. y* ( Uill :0 !»t } 5«Hr, tlv< 'JflH (i fi) u •' ti::i oh'ijrea, Public opirion is strongly in favour of making pTovit'.cii .tW d-iag^t-rs, even j whtre the law dOëil not exact it so much so that to marry a girl sans le sjt, sounds to Irtuch ears hk-a fi.rii;ing oaoas'f I away a/i'-rg a f,5.itily of spendthrift:?, < f course, we in EniRHl have seutioieas on our sice. W-3 can bottst as long as we like of the nioral beauty of our disinterested mar- risstp, ssiil it is worth while icquiring whether it bo wise to educate girls to the | last dt-grpe of r» finpmenr, and then marry them without as nmcb as a penny piece being apportioned for their lalure maintenance. If some of the Eoney nowaday spent upon over, educating giria were put by for future requirements and the interesting creatures themselves taught a little more practical knowledge than tb y no.? usually obtain, the better would it bo for rhe homes of Young ing laid. W hat do the fair onea, par- ticuiaily those who are farmers' daughters, ay to turning their attention to butter makicg, for example-an art by whlch our Fietieh teighbouts are taking thousands of pounds out of our pockets every year ? Mistress and maids in Normandy and else- where think nothing of rising at four o'clock in the morning milking their cows, and working away in their dairies. And yet the daughter of a French dairy farmer will some- times receive as much as 100,000f. or 24,000 on her wedding day Surely, that is some- thing worth considering even if pretty Miss Jones or dreamy Miss Robinson have to forego something in aesthetics or sealskin I jackets before they can gain like amount. RADICAL INTOLEBANCY AT NEWPORT. THERE is a conglomerate in Newport called the Liberal party, ani it is not a little I exercised at the present moment because same people are interfering with its behests. By seme remarkable process of reasoning, this party arrogates to itself the exclusive right to nominate its own 3ren for vacant seats in the I Town Council. If anyone dares to assail them in the shape of an opposition candidate, t the cry is at once got up, Oh, this is but a \1 trick of the Conservatives to divide the Liberal party." The cry is becoming stale by frequent repetition. What makes the matter most ridiculous is the way in which this wonderful Liberal party work. It hils a snug little rendezvous, known as the Coffee Palace, in Bates well, where hole-and-corner maet- ings are held, under the high souading name of public meetings, acd there it is de- termiiied that such and such things shall be dene by and for the Liberal party. This pretty little kuot of Radicals hatch all kinds of plots, and the leading men of the party give themselves no end of airs as they come forward and gravely determine to make the party felt in the town. It is already felt, if they did but know it, to be a great nuisance tor anyone who ventures to express a different j opinion is voted a bore, and sent to Coventry without ado. What the council chamber will be in twc or three years to come, with Radicalism at white heat, may be better imagined than described. 'ihere is pend. ing a bye election in the North Ward. Both candidates are members of the same Dissenting congregation, but Mr. Fothergill is denounced because he is supposed to be a moderate rather than an extreme man. Mr. Fothergill has stronger claims to the support of the burgesses than Mr. T. Jones, jun., because he has already been in the council, passed the civic chair with honour, and was cast out of the council by a fluke. Mr Fothergill has a large stake in the town as a manufacturer, and possesses the merit of knowing Lis own mind and the courage to maintain his opinions on whatever question may come before the council. All burgesses who desire to put their foot upon a faction that is working for mere party pur. poses ought to return Mr Fothergill by a large majority. THE BEV. PAXTON HOOD, THE resignation of the Rev. Paxton Hood, pastor of the Cavendish street Congrega tional Church, Manchester, proves two things -first, the danger of placing the minister in subordination of the deacons; second, the im. propriety of combining politics and religion. In his valedictory statement the eminent lecturer made the following remarks I give up my work here in mere disgust; My resignation has never been legally accepted, and the conditions of the trust deeds have been outraged by the deacons. I could at any time during the next three months force my way into the pulpit, the trust deeds give me that power, but it is not likely 1 shall do so. I resign in the interests of peace. I resign because my conscience dictates me to preach against Lord Beacons- field's war policy in Afghanistan and Africa, tecause Mr. James Bailey therefore threatened I to leave, and because for this reason the deacons, preferring his services as charch I secretary to mine as minister, determined to I do me the indignity to call for my resigna- tion The Rev. Paxton Hood is not the only member of the Congregational body who las within the last few months given up his pastorate in mere disgust" at this conduct of the deacons. It is evident there is something radically wroag in the system which enables the deacons to harass their spiritual instructor, and under the circumstances it is not surprising that there is such a dearth of able and talented ministers in some of the Dissenting denomi. nations. Mea of real intellectual worth will not submit to the capricious interference of officious laymen, and the idea that every con- gregation shculd have supreme jurisdiction, without the necessity of appeal to provincial or national synods, has proved itself to be a dangerous fallacy. But in the case of the Bev. Paxton Hood, there was error on both sides, and the old story about the pot and the kettle" might be appropriately cited. To combine politics with religion is a practice which cannot but be productive of evil results, and we have more than once alluded to it in terms of strong condemnation. If it does nothing else, it makes the Church in which it is common the Church of a political party, and thus raises up an insur- mountable barrier to the progress of the religious teaching with which the body is identified.

I CARDIFF BOARD OF GDAEDIASS.…
CARDIFF BOARD OF GDAEDIASS. The weekly feting of this board was held on Saturday, at tha Union Woakhouae, Alderrujn David iu tha oLair and Mr Fasnrescia the vioo. chsir. The maetftt's report shewed that 38 por- Eons had been admitted into tha workhouse during the past wock, that had been discharged, and that the inmat es at pTasent number 378, baiag au in ere ate of 21 on the corresponding period of last year. Forty six vatjrania had been relieved as againet 51 in the corresponding week last year. Mr Enoch moved, "That all resolutions of the board of guardians relating to tho erection of a wall around the ground and premises of the Ely Industrial School, including the land about to be I purchased, be rescinded." The expense involved in the erection of the proposed wall would be equal to a permanent rent of £1 a week, and if the object of the wall was to keep the boys and the women from running out of the schools and the drying ground, it would be as well to send some of the men from the workhouse out to watch them. If they built a wan 20ft. high boss would get over it. Mr W. Lewis seconded the motion. Mr Forrest said that at a meeting of the sohools oemmittee, held on the 13th of May, when Mr Enoch was pMeent, it was unanimously resolved to recommend that a wall be built. The recom- mendation WIlB afterwards adopted by the board, and orders were given that a plan and estimate should be prepared, and he now protested against members obliging the b ;-ard to go ,over the same ground more than ovoo, as they were doing iu this mutter. Dt LewjllJ repeated the statement he made last week, that he did not consider a 7ft. wall necessary to keep iu the boys. He thought that to the east and the west they ought to put up a good fence or hedge, or repair the present hedge where necessary, but to the south they ought to let the children have the view there afforded them, and the fresh air that was so necessary. Instead of erecting a dead wall there they might build a dwarf wall, and place on that "uDimable" iron railings, diagrams of whioh he held in his hand. He hoped the committee would reeousider the matter. Mr Newber while he would not support Mr Eaooh's proposition for a new hedge, would like to lighten the burdenB of the ratepayers. He asked whether it was absolutely necessary, in the opinion of the committee, to build a waU at the present time. Mr Forrest replied that the oommittee were unani- mously of opinion that it was neoessary. Mr Enoch said all he wutedwas to save the rate- payers' mouey. As to what the vice-chairman had Baid about his concurring with the com- mittee in the passing of the report, that waa wrong. He was out in the garden when the report was passed, and consequently he knew nothing about it. The Vice-chairman afterwards appealed to the members of the committee then present, and they confirmed his Btatement as to Mr. Enoch being present when the matter was discussed, and that he actually made a calculation of the coat. The motion was then put to the meeting, and the chairman declared it lost by 16 votes to six. Mr Enoch then withdrew hia seoond motion as to the making of a hedge. The Clerk read a report of the relief committee, in which it was recommended that henceforth certain paupers whose oases had been hitherto dealt with by the board should have their appli- cations beard by a committee; that the public business bo arranged to commence at one o'olock, and that the day of meeting of the board be altered to Wednesday. The Chairman said it waa an important matter, and he did not wish to have it hurried over, and in order that it might be properly considered he proposed that it should be decided that day three weeks. The hoard had met on Satnrdays ever since its establishment, over 35 years ago. Thia was agreed to. The committee appointed to examine the tenders for the supply of provisions, &0., reoom- mended the adoption of the following: —For tinned meat and groceries, Mr E. John; wines and spirits, Mr W. Jones and shoes, Mr Kidney drapery, Mr Georpj Bird flannel, Mr E. Moees leather, Mr W. Davies drugs, Mr Williamson; funerals, Mr Palmer; out-door grooeries (town), Mr E. John, (Roath), Mr Davies; cheese and butter, Mr Hibbert. This was all tbe business.
NEWPORT TOWN COUNCIL. -

A special meeting of the oounoil waa held on Tuesday for the purpose of eleoting a person to represent the corporation at the board of harbour commissioners, and also to elect a person to sit at the pilotage commission in the plaoe of the lata Alderman G. W. Jones. The ohair was oooupied, in the absence of the mayor and deputy, by Alder- man Samuel Homfray. There were also present Aldermen Harrhy, Homfray, Murphy, W. Jones; Councillors J. W. Jones, J.

Vaughan rose to propose a gentleman for the office of harbour commissioner, aud that gentleman was his friend Mr Alderman Murphy. He had been in the council for 20 years, and ho knew no one better qualified to fill the office than he was. Under penal laws Catholics and Dis. sentere did not enjoy privileges they do now. But a happier state of things had dawned in this country, and we had religious liberty. Thia was the only borough who returned two Irish Catholic representatives. He asked them to extend that representation to the harbour, commiesionera. Mr Oliver Goes seconded the resolution. He believed that Alderman Murphy would at. tend to the duties of the office with efficiency. Mr Joseph Gibbs rose to propose an amendment, or rather another gentleman for the office, and that was Mr L. A. Homfray,. Alderman Harrhy seconding Alderman Homfray's nomination, The voting papers were then collected and read out by the chairman, showing the following result :— For Mr Homfray-Messrs G. Hoskins, S. Ham. fray, L. A. Homfray, J. W. Jones, J. Gibbs, D, Harrhy, A. Blake, and B. Evans; total, 8. For Mr Murphy-Messrs John C. Sanders, J. R. Jacob, J. Maddock, R. Davies, William Oliver, A. B. Bear, 8. Goss, J. R. Richards, O. Goaa, E. Griffiths, D. A. Vaughan, W. Jones, and J. Murphy total, 13. Alderman Murphy waa then declared duly elected. Mr. John Moses was then proposed to fill the office of pilotage commisaioaer. Mr. L. A. Bcmfray was also proposed, but several of the members stated that Mr. Homfray waa already a member of the pilotage commission. No other gentleman was nominated, and Mr. Mosea conse- quently was elected. Mr. Maddock said he would like to ask the harbour oommiBBion on that oocasion if they con- templated establishing a ferry across the river. The Chairman replied that he did not think it had been regularly before the board. The Deputy Town- clerk said he had reoeived a letter from the Home Office with referenoe to the Aldermena' Bill. Mr Jacob asked if it would be competent to move a resolution at the present meeting with reference to the matter, and having received au Answer by the Deputy Town-clerk to the effect that no Ipgal objection could be offered, proposed a resolution in favour of the Bill. Mr. Maddock seconded. Alderman L. A. Homfray rose to express his concurrence with the prinoiplea of the Bill, but thought it oould not be carried at the present meeting. After some conversation on the matter, the Chairman put the resolution to the meeting and it was carried. Thia concludei the publio business.
CARDIFF SCHOOL BOARD.
CARDIFF SCHOOL BOARD. The ordinary meaning o" the Cardiff Sohool Board was held at Cardiff Town hall on Thuis- day, under the presidency of Mr Lewis Wiltiams. There were present Ce Rev J. Waite, Messrs J. A. le Bonlanger, J. Cory, and Peter rrioe. The report of the finance oommittee, whioa included, among other items, a reoommeadatiou for the payment of £100 to Mr E. Howell for taking the recent census, and £219 163 31 on account of publio works loan repayment and interest, waa passed. On the recommendation of the general purposes oommittee it was decided that the request of Mr Greig, one of the school board masters, who desired to be paid from the 1st of July, at a fixed salary of J6140 and two-fifths of the grant, instead of a fixed salary of £150. was agreed to. Three candidates applied for the vacant ap- pointment of assistant mifltrefia at the new Roath Temporary Sohool, at a salaryof .£40 per annum, rising by ..£5 a year to .£50. The testimonials of the candidates were read, and Miss Look and Miss Coo, who were in attendance, were ques- tioned on various points, Mr Bonlanger pro- posed, and Mr Peter Prioe seoonded, the appoint* ment of Miss Coe, which, after some conversa- tion, was carried. Mr PETBB PBica said that as they might be aware the corporation now printed their minutes for circulation before the holding of meetings. He thought they should also have their minutea printed. This would have the effect of showing the publio more fully what was going on, would demonstrate the amount of work that was being done, and would aleo keep the members better informed of the business that was before them. He believed it wonld oost about 7s 6d a page for the printed report, and tbat they would require about three pages monthly. He, therefore, pro- posed that the minntes in future ahoald be printed. It was agreed that 20 oopiea should ba printed and esnt to the members monthly. In answer to the Chairman, the CLEBK said he had heard nothing further from the Department about the Roath site than the matter as^ to us acquisition. Aa to the Canton site, a valuation was now being made of tbe site, a provisional crder for the purchase of which wø being ob. tained. This oonoluded the proceedings.
