BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND SHOW.
BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND SHOW. THIRD DAY. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE III SOCIETY. HORSE SHOEING COMPETI- TIONS. The third day of the Until and West of England Show at Newport cannot bo otherwise described than as a miserable one. From early morning chore was a continuous downpour of rain, and when, at elovvii o'clock, tho mi ess int torrent ceased, tha sky was heavy und lowering still, giving promise of further pluvial deposits. After a tdiort respite, unmerciful showers commenced ugniu, and as the meuibeis of the society were transacting the busi- ness connected with their utiuuui gathering in the council tent, tho ruin nnd wind were such as to suggest to some the necessity of adjourning to some more convenient spot or of getting the pro- ceedings over with the utmost despatch. The un- tuvoui.iblo condition ot t.he elements, of course, Ind tile most di*euur.iging uliect upon tho dny's attendance. Most people living illlho town nud neighbourhood knew the character of tho Marshes on a wet day, but wo must say that a thoiuugh tlr.lining had been given to it beloro the .show, llad this work, which was vei v olliciently carried out, not been attended to, thoieMiits would have uueu far worse MIUII they leullv were. I'lic-c was a lurge influx 01 visitors to the lown, but the uuiuber must liisve been vny small in comparison "illl what would have tit-cit the case had tile wciUlwr been mote propitious. The sUvrts and approaches to the ground wore very dirty, mid, despite the well- directed elforis of the held stewards, the main avenue and the other lo >lway.j IUllllill througll the vard were pertecl cjuagmires. Loads of uslics uml t.1II were lalll in villous places, but 1110 showers CalliC oil so heavdv Unit there appeared in ilie end nothing possible but a "grin and bear i," pohcy.

As on th) two preceding days, the work- ing dairy on Kriday established its claiui to tin position of one of the chief attrac- tions offered tho public by the society. From tilt, to tho close the clean, cosy, Straw-thatched budding WHS an objective point for the nvijotity visitors. Professors Carroll and Long and Miss Conuell continued their very suc- cessful series of lessons, lectures, and demonstra-' ti;iii. The attenuated attendances which wero the rule in other departments were not perceptible here, for the experts" had in ench instance liirgt) iind visibly interested audience,. Miss (.ormell, the plea-iaDt-faced, genial-ai inriered lady teacher, by the way, was one of the most, successful pupils ever taught b% I rotessor Larroll.

This assisted tu make the grains !irm to induce them to atlhet'i? belter together. Ho described what experienco went to sho,v wew thu best tempera- tures lor each of tlm various stages of butter- making, and urged that in these days, when the thermometer Was obtainable at sixpence or a Shilling, no dairy should be witliout one of these useful instruiuenl-j. Keterences were made to the »Vsteni of linking obtaining in Denmark, nnd the leotuier declared that in his opinion the best, system unquestionably was the Normandy', which could bo ^een in operation in the sliow dairy. Incidentally, he said that butter should be thoioughly washed. To this Miss Carroll added the reservation that it should be washed if the cream were sweet and untainted, for when over- WlIsllt!d Ilk flavour was 8pl.i:1. BUTTER MAKIN'li AT LlUMi: AND ABROAD. HiH was tlm sut»j»vi. of lecture on Kndiiv afternoon. In the course of this h« uealt with certain Or.inches of manufacture which had not. been treated by l'iofessor Carroll: Ona w as the churning of oUI milk imtead of cream. It wus shown thai the advantages of this system were chiefly understood in the North of Ireland and in certain parts of Kngland, where there existed a great, demaud lor sour butter-milk on tho part of people of the mining and industrial classes. As Hutbnttcr-unik coumianded a H""J price it p.nd the farmers to protilce it. Another advantage by tl,i4 ?,.y w?l. tl,ztt til,)re buttor was obtained from the milk than by the old-fashioned system of l'aiin and chuntiug the cream. ot, iiie other hand, the disadvantages were— lirst, the necessity of daily churning the iiiilk nd ilia consequent extrit labour; and, tieconctly. liju fact that the butter-milk was nlways sour and unfit for lIle ill districts where sweet milk only was in dem+nd. Then it was necessary in onurning the milk that the milk should be sour, and become, in fact, a curdy mass, became, if churned eweet, t did not yield the whole of its butter. Nor did it if churned partly sweet. Tho lecturer then wont Oil to give an elabo- rate description of tho three methods of salting now being followed, viz., (1) salting tho cream, which in practice yielded more butter than either of the oiliers, but had this demerit—that it made the butter-milk exceedingly salty and not con- sumablo by pigs unless largely diluted by wash ot another kind (2) that, of brining the buttor IU the churn by mixing a certain quantity of salt with the water poured into the churn when tho butter wns titill in its granular form—in this way each train ot butter was practically coated with salt; an 1 (3) the hand process, by which Ilia salt wns sprinkled in it tirie, powdery state on tlio butter and afterwards amalgamited by the worker. fura silt ikione slioultl lxj used, ¡ for impure Mlt was liable to become moist under certain conditions. In treating of the factory creamery system, Professor Loug said it was the custom to buy the milk from the farmers, and then, by means of machinery, separate the cream nut convert U into butler, aod the skimmed wUk1 into ehMMcr pork. The diMtdv?nt?ea were that, '.< buying ttr?e qu?ntitiM of milk )t wtt not only posMtbte, but hie?ty probable, that "ome of this m)!k would be of poor qmdity or imperfect, onliccount of the kind of food given to the cattle. The factory owner should nOL use milk largely produced frolll grains, turnip, or cabbage. Factory cheese made from tho skimmed milk was pool- in quality and gonerally ili-ultldtllind saleable only at a low price. Professor Long related the circum- stances attending the origination of the creamery system iu America anu the later adoption of the plan ot churniug each farmer's cream separately. This was done in Ireland, too. Its disadvantage was the greater amount of labour necessary and the additional cost involved in the use of many churns. Referring to the systems practised in Denmark and France, lie condemned the plan of the Danes of wnshing tho butler with buttermilk, and extolled, as tho more profitable, tint of the French of blending the butters. The lecture was most, attentively listened to by a large audience. I THE HUTtEK-MAKJNG COMPETITIONS. The awards in ibis section were :— Vint prize. 1:4, Miss Keel, Stanton Drew.

Bofi.ru putting the motim t(\ tho vote, Lord TRKDKOAU said he had ri c^ivtd from Lord Clinton a letter stating that if the society saw lit to elect him he would have much pleasure in accepting the office. The election wns then unanimously agreed to. KLKCTION" OF VtCH FBEStCt.NTN. Mr. 1. DUCKHAM next proposed that, Lord Cal- thorpe, Mt. H. A. Br issoy, and Mr. H. S. Gore- Lington be elected vice-presidents, and suggested that the Government might, estublish district lectureships in various agricultural subjects with ihe £ 5,000 which they now hadut their disposal.

(Hear,hear.) The motion was carried. THANKS TO Tilti MAYOR. Lord TRKSKUAK then moved a hearty vote of thanks to llie Mayor of Newport, the local lion, secretaries, and the members of the local committee for their exertions to make the present show a suc- cess. Ho was sure thai every word in the report was thoroughly deserved. (Hear, hear.) Newport was not, the easiest place to liud IL ground, to be^in with, upon which the show could be held, and then there was a lot ot trouble ill getting the giound in good condition, hut, like magic they luid turned what, was hitherto a tidal swamp into as good a show yard us the Bath and West of England society had yet been provided with. Captain BKST, its one who had been on the ground fror about ten days, thought lie wus the right person to second the motion. The council and stewards had received every possible assistance from the Ir)t-iti coiiitiiittee, ittid rim" ar in which the local secretaries had workeu was worthy of every praise. the resolution having been passed with acclama- tion, Mr. C. D. PHILLIFS, in tho absence of the mayor, recturned thanks. From the commencement, he said, they had worked hand in hand with them- selves alld with the council. Sl'tX'lAL TUANKS. On the motion of Mr. JmoM ML'KCU, seconded by Mr. G. H. MOKKKLL, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to tiie ladies and gentlemen who had lent worksof art mill llowets lor the show. A similar compliment was paid to the judges, on tho motion of Major-General DHKWU. seconued by Sir JOHN SHKI.I.KY, and also to the railway com- panies lor their assistance. IrtiA.,iKs l'O LORD TUhlik.(iAll. Mr. KNOLLYS next submitted a vote of thanks to Lord Tiedegir lor tho wuy in which ho had presided over the society for tho pa>t rear. They wlii> were on the council knew how well he had attended the meetings and conducted the business, arul it only needed to be mentioned to the members of the society tor them 10118: tho resolution un- animoush. .Sir J. LKNNAKO seconded, alld hoped Lurd Clinton wou.d discharge the duties next year as Weil as Lotd Tre.iegar had. The motion having be>en heartily endorsed, Lord '1' IŒ 0 lo.:ü A H, who was warmly received, Ill-inked the meeting tor the vote. When he (the speaker) wrote to Lord Clinton asking him it he would taku the office of president t i< lordship wrote a postscript to his lelter asking if he (Ihe speaker) would initiate iiiiii itito the dutiea, aind wlIn he would hlv" to tako to them. He (the speaker; wrote back to say that the council was so painstaking and kind that the work of the presi- dent was absolutely ml. bo far its he wa per- sonally concerned, he had learnt more of practical iarmyig business in presiding uver the meet- ings of the council than he had ever learned before. He was ill the proud position ofejiaving been presi- dent lor a second time. He had taken the trouble to go through the old tiles at Tredegar, and he could find ouly one other gentleman who had been president twice, and that was many years ago. The meeting then concluded. MISCELLANEOUS EXHIBITS. Ju our hcvonii noticcs of (ho fcxtubilft vc omitted io sny that at Stand 63 Messrs. J.

PLUMBING AND UASFITTING YVOKK. Although possessing no stand in the show, Mr' John Woodman, of Wharton-street, Cardiff, hns done what every shrewd and enterprising trades- man should do, namely, he has availed himself of the occssiou of the Bath and Wesi of England Society's visit to insert in the Western Ifail it full and very striking advertisement.

ThMe latter include the pro- prietors nnd managers of the principal hotels, publio buildings, and private residences in Cardiff and the district. Our own offices in St. Mary- street Imvo been completely re-fitted with the Wenham light by Mr. Woodman, who, our manager informs us, has done the work to his entire satisfac- Lion.

Hut, again, taking I Morion to be tight in his interpretation, ;ind I Di-iiids have censed to be,' is not this rather a blow to the existing school, and genuine birdie succession ? As Mr. T. C.

It looks like inventing a second man of tho same name to fill up the gap. I Tew I I take to be a personal epithet, implying fat or stout. What a thick ford' miiy be I confess I cannot imagine. I do not think the list of bardic succession could stand an exhaustive criticism, but I hope to return to the subject ot more leisure." TO TUB EDITOR OF THE WKSTEBN MAIL." I am,—1 believe" Morien is quite right illlltatinl that the tirst eisteddfod lield III Caeruiarthen after the great eisteddfod of 1457 was that held in 1819, in which "lolo Morganwg" was present. I merely quoted "lolo" himself from Page 113 of •• Cyfrinach y Beirdd (the Caernarfon Edition). It is recorded m gome extracts from Llewelyn Sion, of Lungewydd, that In the congress of Caer- marthen (1451) heterogeneous principles were Introducelt Inlo the system of Welsh llardiaIU hy the pertinaclty of Daívdd ab Edmund. This ill- ducpd Gwilym lew (1460 presd.), Ieuan ab lirwel Surdwiil (1430 disc.), and 1. Gethin ub 1. ab Lleision (1430 presd.) to oppose such innovation, and they proclaimed n congress, under the notice of a year and a day, to be held on tho Mountain of Garth Maeiwg, nnd, in addition to that, they obtained the authority of the countiy and Lord llichard Kuvill, its the lord paramount of Mor- gan wg, and in the congress of bards of Morgan wg, liwent, and lOnas, entered their protest and re- pelled the regulations of Carmarthen." It may be that it was this eisteddfod which the old bard had in view when lie, by a slip of the pen, mentioned it as the second Carmarthen Eisteddfod in 1461.' The Garth Maeiwg Congress was held in the year 1460.1 should statu also thatGruffydd ab Nicholas, in addition to the eisteddfod which was dltin- guished by the appellation "Eisteddfod Fawr C.ierfyrdd.n," held several others of less preten- tions.

LlangynwyJ. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WESTERN MAIL." I -Yt)ut- iii)lu corresl)on(lents G*Alorien," in llie Western Mail, and "Glinffrwd," in the IVtekly Mail, have contributed long papers of what was purported to be an exhaustive history of the bogus Monastery of Peiirliys but neither of ttiein give us itiy autlioeity tor what they wrote, and we are now as far its ever from elucidating the truth about, tho history of this famed monastery (?) The correspondence which has appeared in your columns reveals to us the hollowness of what often passes muster for true history, but which turns out, after all, to ba it delusion ittid a snare. Monen tnys he was sora-v that he offended me. He must be dreaming profoundly, although he is generally wide-awake. I atD a great admirer of Morten's writings, but 1 can- not accept His ijisc dixit as an historian. As Morien is such a patriotic Welshman, I gave him HS my authority the mimes of three eminent Welshmen. I could add n great many more but lie knocks tho tlneo down with one stroke of his pen. He also charges mo with borrowing other people's ideas without ncknowledging it. I simply quoted Lloyd Is.uic's gibes atxiut "loin" from a cutting from the Monmouthshire Merlin, in which the "Situriana" appeared originally long before Morien" commenced writing Welsh history. I am not at nil surprised IlIat no account of Penrhys was to bs found in Davies's MSS. Twenty-two years ago I was elll- ployed to transcribe the cnartera of the Weisli monasteries for the late Sir Thomas Phillipps, Bart.—tho^e which were suppressed before the Reformation and by Hrnry VII. and his lieutenant Croinwelf-Hiid I "bilonued the MSS. of II Carn- liuanitwe," Ilia ltistot-iitn, in the Llandaff Librarv. but, I never found the name of Penrhys Monastery. Some years aigo a prize was offered for the histoiy of this establishment, AS usual before every eisteddfod, I was pestered with letters from young aspirants seeking for infnriii-i- lion, and I made diligent search in different libraries for its history, but, nil in vain. I found, however, trom the report of the Yorkshire Patriotic Society on the ruined churches of Glamorgan that the name of "St. hl,ii-y in G]Vn. riionthey was mentioned. That might have been buiit on the slio of nn old cell. EVery place hlld its sicrcd well, and pilgrimages were made to these wells. Tho Church of Llmidyfan and its well in Llandilo Fawr were favourite resorts of pilgrim*. Leland could mention also tlnit pilgrims used to visit Llandilo, near Maen- clochug, and drink water out of Teilo's Well from u human skull, said to be that of St. Toilo. I saw the skull twenty years ago in a farm-house close by the ruins of the old church; but this is no proof that there were monasteries there. If Leland considered the Ithonddu bridges so impor- tant, the sartie can bo said of Llauedcyrn and Hutu ney bridges, because he tells us that they were niade of wnod. The charter of the Fran- ciscan Monastery in Cokerton was in the possession of the late Mr. Treharne, of Coadrilrlan, at one time, intnet except the seal, which was broken. Th list of religious houses was quoted from a MS.'whicli bears the name and signature of John Jones, M.A. ("Tegid "). If Morien will give us trustworthy authority for his history, I will do penance by walking, bare-headed and bare-footed, through the coils of the imaginary serpent on Pontypridd Common.—1 am, &c., Roatli.

THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACTS…
THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACTS 1.1 INDIA. TO THB EDITOR OF TaB WKSTKKN MAIL." bilt.-I our teaaers must be grateful to you for your exposure and scathing denunciation of the miserably ignorant faddists who are K-sking to free the legions of prostitutes that swarm in every bazaar and around every Darrack4 and can- toninent in India from the restraints which every civilised and uncivilised country in the world have judged it necessary, in U.8 interests of public morality and public health, to impose upon lewd women who are public and proteased prostitutes. The subject is not a savoury one, but the odium of forcing it upon the attention of tiie public mutt rest upon the mischievous fanatics who would ex. pose our troops in India, who (a writer in this month's Contemporary Review inlorms u») are really the Indian Empire, to a danger more horrible, because more deadly and hideous, than any of the plagues with which India is periodically visited. It would, moreover, result in terrible suffering among the unfortunate "Ollwn themselves. I am certain that these latter appreciate and are gmteful-as much as it is in .111 nature of nil Asiatic to be-lor the attention and ti-ealment they receive in the Government hospitals, and that they wou,d be the tirst to re- pudiate the masculine creatures in pctticoats and their feminine partners in breeches who are endeavouring, by grossly ignorant misrepreeenta- Ilons,to procure the repeal of eesentially moral and beneficent Acts. I have witnessed the bazaar in Cairo where the public women of that city reside, and out of which they are wisely not allowed to move in practical possession of our soldiers. And ii, was the same in every town in Lower Egypt where our troops Weru xtationed; and I have no reason to doubt that it is not the same throughout our great, Eastern dependency. I wiit leave it to your readers to judge what the result would have been to the efficiency of our troops in Egypt, where vigour and energy such as healthy blood, untaintell with veneieal poison, alone can give is ejueci'illy needed to cope with the tierce followers of the Malidi and the trying nature of the climate of Upper Egypt and the Soudan. It is nothing to the misguided repealists who are agitating this matter that the safety of our Indian Empire depends upon the efficiency of our army there, i "nd that, if this ugitation is eucceStlful aDel thll Contagious Diseases Acis in India ure repealed, our soldiers will crowd the bazaars us before, that the intercourse between them and the public women will be greater than ever, and that our military hospitals will soon be filled with cases of u virulent and repulsive diameter unknown in Europe. And all this in order that the prostitutes of India may not, forsooth, be derradcd," by being compelled to keep them- solves free from disease, and to comply with regu- lations framed in- a spirit of true morality, and designed to guard the public and the women them- seJvea ugainst the tetrible consequences thut in- evitably follow from unchecked und unregulated public prostitution. We are told by the writer in the Contemporary lieiiew 1 have "trendy referred to Lliat. I- wuether for good or for evil, a great change is coming over Englishmen. They have become uncertain of themselves, afraid of their old opinions, doubtful of the true teaching of their own consciences. They doubt if they have auy moral right to rule anyone, themselves included." Since the advent of King Jaw-Jaw to power an unhealthy spirit has, undoubtedly, COlli" over British politics and British policy in every part of the world. Bui there aro signs that the people are awakening to the danger of entrusting the safety of the Empire and the maintenance of the unity of these kingdoms to a party that includessil the faddists and sickly sentimentalists in the country among its supporters, and is never con- tent unless it has a cry that strikes either at the safety of property or the security of the Etapire.-I am, &c., SIDNEY RICHMOND. Queen-square, Bristol, June 6. TO THE EDITOR OF TUK WKSTEUN MAIL." Sm,—The readeis of your paper owe u deep debt of gratitude to you for the wauner in wlllch you have dealt with these so-called moral philan- thropists in your recent article. Everyone should curetully examine the evils which have been created by the repeals of these Acts. Prostitution everyone will admit is an evil; but Acta of Parlia. ment can never suppress this traffic. Parliament, however, can do tiowething to limit and prevent the direful results of uncontrolled prostitution. How many a young and robust life has been ruined by the ravages caused by this uncontrolled prosti- tution, and diseases propagated to endless genera- tions! No wonder we see the standard of physique materially deteriorating. And yet these narrow-minded pessimists lend a helping hand to the degeneration of Enalisluneal No moralising will ever tend to lessen the evil. We caunot make saints of everyone. By dealing 111anfully and sensibly with this great evil we will accomplish what these (as you have so justly termed them) worthless Pharisees will never be able to do, viz., purge the streets of prostitution and diseases. -1 am, Kc, AN ENGLISHMAN.

NONCONFORMIST SECESSIONS.…
NONCONFORMIST SECESSIONS. TO THE EDlTOtt OF TRIC WK3TKKK MAIL." StM.— i he question at luue is a serious one, being nothing less than episcopal veracity. Honour seals the bishops' lips and prevents a disclosure of the names of the present aspirants to the ministry- nay, it would be cruelty to expose these men to the proverbial tender mercy of seiatuom. Ante- cedent probability ought to go along way to estab- lish the credibility of the assertion now questioned, and it is with much pleasure that one discovers this antecedent probability made out by your corre- spondents who have furnished the long lists of past aspirants who have succeeded in entering Holy Orders. Thus they have done the Church and truth a service. They deserve thanks for their good offices; but it is deplorable that the task has not been better accomplished. The lists may be somewhat inaccurate; they cer- tainly are incomplete, and, whilst those who can have lost no opportunity to repudiate their seces- sion, those who cannot have not Acknowledged it. These facts are very significant, and give rise to serious thoughts. Are the seceuers ashamed of their secession ? D" they consider themselves guilty of wrong-doing P Ate tiiey such arrant cowards as to sit down and listen to a bishop's veracitybeingchiillenged when a word from them would put his word boy ond dispute ? It so, then may our bishops never mnre lay hands on such a crew, for they are not the ones to man the good old ship in the troubled waters in which she now finds herself.

It is sincerely to be lioped that some good will come out of ids persistent elucidation of the matter. Do you think. 1 should bo presumptuous in makingthe tollowing suggestion, which would lind the funas for 01111 additional bishop-and that the niost needed—in the course of a few years i' Why not take the Sees of Hereford and St. David's—the former with an income of L4,200 and the latter 1:4,500-and divide the incomes between three -bay Hereford, St. David' and Brecon—which, with a small addition, would make up L3,000 a year for cach bishop, two )f whom would have an episcopal palaco and the third would lisive to be provided with one. Of course, Brecon Is sug- gested because it ha* already a splendid collegiate church, which could at once become the cathedral for the new diocese. If the above suggestion is practicable the Act of Parliament and other details should be arranged us soon as possible, so that on the voidance of either SL David's or Hereford the plan could be proceeded with with. out delay.— out dellty.-I Stu, ke., S.
