MODERN WELSH DISSENT DESCENDS…
MODERN WELSH DISSENT DESCENDS INTO THE GUTTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHMAN." SIR,-The critical elections of 1868 are now over, and Wales has declared in favour of those who are for over- throwing the Church of England, and for taking away the endowments of more than 300 years. This noble result is due to the religious screw" put on so tight by those who pretend to teach the Welsh Religion How changed is Welsh Nonconformity from the days of the Wesleys, and Charles of Bala, and the other noble con- fessors of past time. The fine gold has indeed become tarnished. In past days Welsh Dissent was the pride and glory of the land then the Church, we must con- fess with shame, neglected, shamefully neglected, her high mission, and yet these men, good and true, had no objection to the Establishment, and herein agreed with such earlier lights as Baxter, Howe and Owen, in England. What have the great majority of the Welsh Dissenting Preachers shewn themselves lately ? As men who have utterly neglected the preaching and practice of religion, in order to join with Papists, Socinians, and Infidels like Mr. C Bradlaugh, in dis- establishing and dis-endowing (i.e. robbing) the Irish Church at a step towards doing the same to the English Church. They have turned their meeting houses into election committee-rooms, and prostituted their places of worship to arenas of political faction. While pre- tending to forward the worship of the Almighty, they have been doing the devil's own work, and for the present they are successful. They know that the Church in Wales was never so active as it is now they know that the Church is slowly but steadily and surely overtaking the schism of Dissent; they know that men's eyes will one day be opened to the bullying vulgarity, and impudent self-righteousness of modern Dissent, as con- trasted with the unselfish spirituality of former days. The sins of the fathers are now being visited on the children, our Church has now to reap the consequences and make up the arrears of former neglect; but the tide is turning, churches are restored, the services are heard in the old Welsh tongue where, but a few years back, there were only a very few worshippers, the parish church in many places is now crowded. The tables are now being turned, and none know this better than the ignorant rovers who go about the country pretending to teach the gospel, but in reality stirring up strife. Sixty years ago and more, Dissent was a real blessing to Wales; I boldly assert that now it is its greatest curse. It may be said that the parsons have been very active on the Tory side. Yes, but they did not begin the strife and when an assault is made for political pur- poses upon an old and useful institution of religion, those who value it are called upon to defend it. Men like Baxter and Owen highly prized the Church Esta- blishment, and they were burning and shining lights, compared to whom the factious meddlers of modern Dissent are less than farthing rushlights. And let us remember that in their days, the Church presented but a poor spectacle, when compared with the zeal and activity and usefulness she shows now. The days of Dissent in Wales, as the religion of the majority, are numbered. The system which 80 or 90 years ago was associated with so much that was good in religion, and has been for the last ten years confederate with so much that is foul and debasing, meddlesome and factious in politics-that system is doomed. Wales just now is more preacAer ridden than Ireland is priest ridden but the day of the Church is dawning; the Gospel, long smothered in the pulpits of the conventicles, is heard in those of the parish churches. Wales, Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," "shall soon stretch out her hands unto God." This letter may provoke criticisms and answers. If it do, I care not for the one and shall not reply to the other. Every dog has his bark; the Church dog has had his the curs of modern Dissent may have theirs. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, G. VAUX-COLLISON. One word more. I would light as strenuously for any state endowment given to Dissenters, e.g. the Regium Donum, as I would for Church endowments, because taking away either is an act of shameful robbery.
THE DISSENTERS AND THE IRISH…
THE DISSENTERS AND THE IRISH CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHMAN." The controversy on the above subject has been conti- nued so long that in all probability the facts of the case have been forgotten, except by those who are immedi- ately concerned, so that a brief recapitulation of the name may not be quite out of place. Some montns -is- i, 00 well ottarg. got UD petitions in support of Mr Gladstone's Resolutions and Mr Coleridge's Bill. All I said on their behalf was said publicly, I neither took them in my hand from house to house, nor accosted persons singly, but left them to be read by the public and signed by those whose views they advanced. Shortly, however, a correspondence took place between Honestas and Mr D. Herbert, Oak- ford, on Welsh Dissenters and their Petitions. I knew nothing of this correspondence till some time after, and had no hand in it from beginning to end. At last I and those under my pastoral care were charged with dishonesty. Then I felt in duty bound to defend myself and my friends against this false and groundless charge. I challenged a proof, which was never given, for the simple reason that not one could be given. I further advised Honestas to prove himself to be what he really professed—an honest man, and not a party man, by taking under his kind consideration those who were sailing under false colours here as well as elsewhere, who, taking petitions from houso to house, advancing theories very telling on the credulity of the people, soli- citing signatures to their petitions, maintaining it was against Popery. This brought Mr Lloyd, with his ponderous lance, and the lowest class of society battle-axe, to the field. I was asked some questions, to which I gave plain and explicit answers, and also names. In his reply he confessed to have freely used the No Popery argument," and so established my charge. When I pointed out this, in his next he cried out in jubilant ecstacy, "Eurika," I have found a "loophole" in the difference there is between a petition and the reasons urged in its favour. Having further endeavoured, but to no purpose, to prove that the people were under the firm conviction that what he now calls arguments in its favour was none other than what he then told them the petition itself was. At last I proposed few simple (for- midable, it seems, in his estimation) questions, and as I have a few remarks to make on his answers, I shall here insert both Question l.-Il How was the case stated to Mr E. J. Evans, Llanina Arms, when he was asked to sign the petition ? Against what was the petition said to be ?" Answer. The question was asked to Mr E. J. Evans by reading the petition to him. The petition was said to be against Mr Gladstone's Resolutions and for the maintenance of the Irish Church." Since Mr Lloyd, in his last letter, has unjustly and very ungentlemanly insinuated that I extort false in- formation from those under my charge," and as Mr E. J. Evans is a member of Pencae church, I shall substi- tute for his name that of Mr John Jones, of Pantyr- hendy, and shall here give a copy of his own statement: SIR,—Understanding that there is a controversy going on in the WELSHMAN between yourself and Mr Lloyd, I beg to state that the petition I was asked in the presence of E. J. Evans, Llanina Arms, to sign, was said to be against Popery, and I was urged to sign it to prevent Popery overrunning the country. -JOHN JONES, Pantyrhendy, Dec. 3rd." What more does Mr Lloyd want me to do to prove my charge? How well his own confession and this testi- mony of Mr Jones agree! Q. 2.—" Did any of the Dissenters sign it ?" A. Yes their names are Mr Griffith Davies, Rose Hill Arms, and Mr D. Rees, watchmaker—Dissenters to the backbone." The above-named are two of his mother's tenants. Mark that Q. 3. Did they sign it from a mere wish to prevent the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Irish Church ?" A.—" As far as it is possible for me to judge of their wishes and motives, they did. I take their actions as an index of their wishes. If they did not, why should they sign the petition at all ? and if they did not sign it from such a wish, they were dishonest. But why should I be responsible for their dishonesty ?" All this is very fine it displays a noble liberal and catholic spirit; but, sir, facts speak louder than words, and the fact I am about to mention will put a different construction on the whole affair. Mr Griffith Davies, one of the above-named tenants of Mr Lloyd's mother, was asked if he would vote for Mr Richards, the Liberal candidate for the county he replied that he would be very glad to do so, as he was a thorough Liberal but at the same time said, I am afraid to do so for fear of consequences," he having erected some new buildings on the tenements he holds under Mrs Lloyd. He was sent for by Mrs Lloyd, asked to vote for Mr Vaughan, and did so. Why are people responsible lor the dishonesty of other people, indeed! Mr Jones' statement con tradicts Mr Lloyd's answer to the next question. So much for the questions and answers. And now Sir, there is a limit beyond which self- respect cannot pass. The Billingsgate propensity of my opponent in this controversy is such that self-respect precludes me from continuing it. No gentleman of either birth or education would find such low and un- couth epithets as those freely used by Mr Lloyd com- patible with his nature. There is nothing bad which has not been attributed by Mr Lloyd to myself and friends. Down right liars," Scatterers of egregious falsehoods," Worse than a liar," "Extorterer of fal.se information," Salt without savour;" in fact Billings- gate's vocabulary has been freely substituted for argument. Had Mr Lloyd been an attendant of the debating meetings of ragmen and tho old women who attend fairs as vendors of gingerbread, &c., he would never be better versed in their style, nor more profuse in their arguments. Strange how the tendency of one's nature will crop up in spite of all the polish of educa- tion. Sincerely I am sorry to find Mr Lloyd, of whom I cherished once a very high opinion, proving himself thus to be a chip of the old block. In conclusion, if this charge of mine has not been proved, I am at a loss to know how any can be proved. If Mr Lloyd is silly enough to think that he who has the last word or writes the last letter has won the laurel" he is welcome for my part to all the joy de- rived from such thought, for I beg to state I shall take no notice of any further remarks made by Mr Lloyd on this subject. Thanking you for your kindness and impartiality to me in this controversy, and trusting if ever I shall trespass on your columns again in any controversy, I shall meet with an opponent more sparing of Billings- gate, I remain, neither a "crushed worm nor a vanquished foe," but Youra truly, J. M. P. Llanarth, Dec. 5th. J, M..P.
TENBY.—VANDALISM.
TENBY.—VANDALISM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES." Sin,-I should be glad, through the medium of your columns, to be allowed to call the attention of archaeo- logists to a ruthless act of vandalism contemplated by certain of the corporation of Tenby in the removal of some of the most interesting portions of the ancient walls and towers which surround that picturesque little town. Those who have been tempted to turn their footsteps to this once somewhat remote part of Wales will recall with pleasure the many antiquarian objects with which Tenby and its neighbourhood abound, not the least being the town walls and gateways, of which latter the principal is the south-west gateway. Will it be believed that, for the sake of what they deem to be an improve- ment to some small cottages, of very little value, stand- ing outside the gateway the owners, who are also active members of the corporation, have endeavoured to pre- vail upon the Town Council to sanction the destruciont of this very curious structure ? And to such a height has party feeling been carried in the matter that the municipal elections recently over turned entirely on the question of returning those who were known to be favourable or otherwise to the removal of the towers. I rejoice to say that for one year, at least, they are spared, and will continue to lend interest to this charm- ing old town. The question of the destruction of the walls is one which, however, may be at any time taken up, and with results not difficult to foresee. It is hard to persuade the iconoclasts that, in removing these ancient remains, they are taking away from Tenby those very features of interest which yearly lead an increasing crowd of visitors to the town and neighbourhood. I am the more solicitous, therefore, that public attention should be drawn, and that urgently, to the expediency of some restraint being put upon the action of individual mem- bers of a corporation having only their own private ends in view. It may be urged that the removal of the gateway is essential to the increase of the town on its western side. I have never heard that reason assigned in favour of the removal of the bar in the High-street of South- ampton, a far busier town that Tenby ever could be- come nor would such a reason have the slightest weight, seeing that even through the tower itself, as it now stands, the means of access, with a very little im- provement, are all that could be desired, even if there were no other approach. I would claim, then, by your favour, the attention of the Society of Antiquaries, the Cambrian, and other archaeological societies, and of all who have found plea- sure in their visits to Tenby-and these latter must be very numerous-that they would endeavour to stay the hands of barbarians, who, having no souls, perpetrate in a corporate capacity deeds of vandalism which they would, as individuals, shrink from acknowledging that they had hand or part in. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Athenæum Club, Dec. 2. J. C. W. Athenseum Club, Dec. 2.
AGRICULTURE.
AGRICULTURE. PREVALENCE OF DISEASES AMONGST AMIMALS. Statistics are still wanting to mark with accuracy the prevalence, the causes, and even the nature of the several diseases, accidents, and injuries befalling the domestic animals. There are no reliable bills of mortality. There are, indeed, vague statements to the effect that in our larger cities the term of life of hard-worked horses rarely exceeds three years. About four hunarea how. ø.a tilled off in London alone every week. According to the live siocx insurance company's returns, the annual mortality of healthy animals insured varies from one to two per cent. During the past twenty years, and excluding the cattle plague period, one-half the bovine mortality is ascribable to pleuro-pneumonia. In cattle, as in other animals, an enormous proportion of the cases of diseases and accident are traceable to preventable causes. During the eighteen months, beginning 1st January 1862 and terminating 30th June 1863, the cases of diseases and accident occurring in the Edingburgh Veterinary College were carefully registered. The diseases of horses we rudely summarised under the following heads:- Diseases of the air passages, 628 ft heart and larger vessels 15 „ digestive organs 313 Weed. 63 Diaeasesoftheeyes. 36 n brain and nervous system 33 skin, including mange. 104 Strangles, diabetes, &c. 117 Lameness in feet 682 limbs 553 Wounds, abscess, &c.. 398 Examinations for soundness operations, &c.. 315 3157 As is evident from these figures, lameness and injuries constitute, amongst horses, about one-half of the cases met with in ordinary practice. Lameness and acci- dents are, of course, more numerous in town than in the country. Edinburgh, with its steep inclines, and its fashion of shoeing all draught horses with prominent heels and tips on the toes, furnishes a larger proportion of lameness than most other towns. The relative fre- quency of particular lameness may be judged of by closer examination of the Veterinary College tables. Amongst upwards of twelve hundred cases of lameness there are recorded 235 cases of navicular disease, which everywhere amongst well-bred horses employed at fast road work stands at the head of the list. To the dis- credit of the shoeing smith, eighty pricks are cata- logued. Spavins number seventy; whilst splints, causing lameness, reach scarcely half that number. The thirty-one corns chronicled do not give this trouble- some ailment sufficient prominence hundreds of cases, although interfering with free action, do not cause absolute lameness, are attended to by the blacksmith, and do not ordinarily come under the observation of the veterinarian. Ring and side bones are not so common in the lighter-limbed better bred horses met with gene- rally throughout Scotland, as amongst the coarser- limbed, shorter fetlocked, under-bred heavy draught horses which still abound in most large English towns. To the tables quoted such cases contribute twenty-five cases, or about one-fifteenth of the whole. Excluding lameness, accidents, and injuries, diseases of the respiratory organs stand foremost in number, constituting, according to the Edinburgh Veterinary tables, nearly five-sixths of all internal ailments. In the army, where horses are well cared for, comfortably stabled, and moderately worked, diseases of the air- passages, as might be expected, are less frequent than in civil practice. Mr Percival, late veterinary surgeon to the 1st Life Guards, in his Hippopathology, supplies the following table of 637 cases, which he subdivides as follows:— Diseases of the lungs (air passages) 300 „ bowelti (digestive organs) 160 brain 27 1 „ eyes. 150 Fully one-half of the diseases of the air passages fall under the heads of catarrh and sore throat. In the veterinary college reports fully one-fourth arecatalogued as influenza pneumonia, pleurisy, and bronchitis account for about one-fourteenth whilst the chronic conditions of roaring, thick and broken wind occur in about the same proportion. Most of the acute diseases of the respiratory organs prevail chiefly during spring and autumn, are often connected with sudden and violent changes of temperature, and occasionally spread epizootically. They are most frequent and serious amongst young and unseasoned horses. Out of the three hundred cases recorded by Percival, one hundred and seventy were in animals under five years of age. The same observer ascribes to lung diseases four-fifths of the total equine mortality, and concludes that one-fourth of the patients affected die but both these estimates are much too high. Diseases of the digestive organs constitute amongst horses about one-half of the medical cases. According to the Edinburgh Veterinary College figures, such dis- orders comprise about one-tenth of the total horse cases. According to Mr Percival, bowel disorders include about one-half the number of internal diseases. Colic, com- prising of course various forms of indigestion, accounts for fully one-half the diseases of the digestive apparatus. Colic cases are rarely met with amongst hunters and hacks, or the best classes of carriage horses-where the food is tolerably concentrated, and given carefully and regularly. They are most common during the close of summer, and throughout the autumn months, when bulky green food is being freely used, and again when horses are first transferred to their winter fare. Amongst agricultural horses, especially throughout Scotland, much mortality results from allowing the animals un- due quantities of boiled, steamed, or short chopped food, which is apt to be swallowed too rapidly, and with in- sufficient mastication and insalivation, and hence to produce troublesome indigestion. Weed, the popular name for congestion and inflam- mation of the lymphatic glands and vessels, is confined to the heavier descriptions of under-bred horses. Owing, however, to better management, and especially to more careful and regular feeding, it is not nearly so common as it was wont to be. The Edinburgh College tables include 63 cases; but in some country localities and some provincial towns, a much larger proportion of cases is still to be met with. Airier, lighter, and cleaner stables, with moie rational arrangements for feeding and work, have, during the past forty years, greatly reduced the number of cases of disease in the eyes. Mr Percival's tables, which refer to a period fully twenty five years ago, indicate an enor- mously greater proportion of eye cases than would now be found either in army or in civil practice. The college cases during the eighteen months are only 36. Cataract, glaucoma, and other eye disorders are, however, still perpetuated by breeding from parents with faulty visions. The brain and nervous system of animals are not liable to the amount of overtaxing and excitement which falls to the lot of many human nervous organs. The nervous diseases of animals are accordingly less numerous and less complex than those of men. From similar causes, diseases of the heart and larger vessels are less frequent in the lower animals than amongst men. Of skin disorders in horses, mange and grease are the most common, and occur in about equal proportions: During cold wet wintry weather, cracked heels are very common, and often very troublesome.

An effort is being made by some members of the High Church party to induce Mr Gladstone to refuse to confirm the appointment of Dr Jackson to the Bishopric of London. It is said that Bishop Jackson does not wish to leave his present diocese, in which case there will not be much difficulty in making new arrangements. Mr Basil Jones, the archdeacon of York, writes a letter in which he blames Dr Vaughan for not allowing himself to be nominated as Proctor for the archdeaconry in Convocation. The archdeacon more than insinuates that if the matter had gone to the vote, Dr Vaughan would have been elected, and the clergy saved from the imputation which now rests upon them of having rejected a good man for the offence of thinking for himself. A clergyman of the archdeaconry of Stafford has pro- tested againstConvocation. After the proctor to Convoca- tion for Stafford had been elected on Thursday, the fol- lowing protest was handed in, though the Archdeacon declined to read it 11 Whereas a considerable body of t6. OcLicnoea clergy in the arcnaeacuuij vi Stafford is averse to the existence of Convocation in its unre- formed state, and desires to abstain from any connection with it, I hereby protest against it being supposed that the members now elected represent the opinions of that body, or of the beneficed clergy generally in the said archdeaconry." The new baronetcies were gazetted on Friday night, as well as the appointment of Mr Gre- gory to the vacant canonry of St Paul's. Other appointments announced are the Rev William Bright, M.A., to the Regius Professorship of Ec- clesiastical Hist ory in the University of Oxford, in the room of Dr Mansel; Professor Shairp to the Principal- ship of the United College of St Salvator and St Leonard in the University of St Andrew's, in the room of Dr James David Forbes, resigned.

RESTORATION OF GLOCESTER CATHEDRAL.-At the meeting of the Dean and Chapter of Glocester Cathe- dral this week, Mr G. Gilbert Scott, the architect to the cathedral, exhibited his designs for the restoration of the choir, which have been long under anxious consideration. The plans obtained the cordial and unanimous approval of the dean and chapter, and Mr Scott received instructions to begin the work without delay. The nave will be immediately prepared for the celebration of Divine service during the time occupied by the performance of this work. The choir when thus restored will be one of the most beautiful speci- mens of architecture in the country. The estimate for the work now to be begun is about £ 15,000. The amount of the estimate for the whole contemplated restoration is about £ 40,000. The :exterior restoration of the south transept of the Cathedral is now com- pleted, and the beautiful work has been admirably executed. The total cost of this part of the restora- tion was 1793 8s 6d; the cost was borne by Lord Eldon, Lord Dynevor, and the late Viscountess Downe. The restoration of the south porch has also now been begun. Towards this work, Mr Price, one of the Liberal members for the city, has given £ 500.

The Morning Summary says that the Marquis of Bute has not only purchased the greater portion of the Hastings property, but has most delicately offered it to the family on such terms that virtually it will be restored to the old line. The two Marquises were cousins. CHOLERA FUNGUS.-After a series of long botanical researches, Professor Ernest Hallier, of the University of Jena, has convinced himself of the presence in the creta of cholera patients of a microscopic fungus which exists in them in considerable quantities. On stbmit- this minute plant to a careful microscopical examina- tion, the diatinquished botanist found that it has ill the characters of Urocistus oryzce, which in India is found sometimes in the rice plantations. Professor Hallier then manured some rice plants with the excreta in ques- tion, and finds that they perish rapidly. A whole plan- tation may be thus destroyed by the Urocistus in a very short space of ti me.- Scientific Review. A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.—The Civil Service Gazette has the following :—" There are very few simple articles of food which can boast so many valuable and important dietary properties as cocoa. While acting on the nerves as a gentle stimulant, it provides the body with some of the purest elements of nutrition, and at the same time corrects and invigorates the action of the digestive organs. These beneficial effects depend in a great measure upon the manner of its preparation, but of late years such close attention has been given to the growth and treatment of cocoa, that there is no difficulty in securing it with every useful quality fully developed. The singular success which Mr Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. Far and wide the reputation of Epps's Cocoa has spread by the simple force of its own extraordinary merits. Medical men of all shades of opinion have agreed in recommending it as the safest and most beneficial article of diet for persons of weak constitutions. This superiority of a particular mode of preparation over all others is a remarkable proof of the great results to be obtained from little causes. By a thorough know- ledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame. k 64
