At a signal from the Mayor the statue was then
uncovered, and a burst of admiration roc from the
assembled crowd as the bands played and the guns
from the battery on the opposite hill fired a Royal
salute. Prince Arthur stood for some minutes
examining the figure, and tracing in it the familiar
lineaments of his deceased father.

The procession then re-formed, walked round the
monument, and conducted the Prince back to the
town.

Between 2 and 3 o'clock a sumptuous luncheon
was laid out in the assembly-room at the Gatehouse
Hotel, which was tastefully ornamented for the
&c., the Red Dragon of Wales,
occasion with /lags,
the national crest, being conspicuous. Perhaps
the greatest ornaments which graced the room,
however, were to be found in the three galleries,
which were fully occupied by the fair ladies of
Wales. A raised table at the head of the room
was occupied by the principal guests. The Mayor
of Tenby, by virtue of his office, presided, and on
his right and left side were his Royal Highness
Prince Arthur and Prince Leiningen. There was
also among the company the Bishop of St. David's,
Lord Llanover, Sir James Hamilton, Major
Elphinstone, Sir Charles Phipps, Sir W. Owen,
Mr. Lort Phillips, M.P., the high sheriffs of
Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, and Montgomery-
shire, the mayors of Carmarthen, Haverfordwest,
Pembroke, Cardiff, Newport (Monmouthshire),
Newport (Pembrokeshire), Swansea, Neath, Cardi-
gan, Denbigh, and the High Bailiff of Merthyr,
Major-General Murray, Lieut.-Col. Mann, Col.
Stepney, Capt. Mason, Archdeacon Allen, and others
of the clergy.

Graffyd, harper to Lord Llanover, who is looked
upon as a pattern of Welsh harpers, played pieces
between the toasts. On the entrance of his Royal
Highness with his suite, and the Prince of Leinin-
gen, the harper played " God save the Queen."
Grace was said by the Bishop of St. David's. At
the conclusion of the repast, the Mayor having
given ,4 The health of her Majesty the Queen" (fol-
lowed by the National Anthem),
The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S rose to propose the
principal toast of the day, 44 The memory of his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort." He was called
upon, he said, to give imperfect utterance to the
feelings which pervaded all minds with respect to
the distinguished person whom they had met that
day to honour. He felt this was a task which in-
volved peculiar difficulties, inasmuch as the subject
was one on which it was difficult either to say too
much or too little ; one on which it was scarcely
possible to say anything new ; and on which it was
extremely difficult to do justice to merits so univer-
sally known and acknowledged. (Applause.) There
was, however, one consideration which encouraged
him—viz., that the subject was one which scarcely
afforded room for either exaggeration or modifica-
tion. There was one aspect of the subject which he
thought deserved their notice on this occasion, not
only because it was intimately connected with the
ceremony in which they had engaged that day, but
because it showed the peculiar fitness and propriety
of the act in which they had been engaged ; and
also, he believed, it was a subject on which a cer-
tain indistinctness prevailed in the public mind.
They all had heard it observed that the great
worth of the late Prince Consort had never been
fully appreciated during his life. He (the right
reverend speaker) believed the fact to be true, and
the question was, how was it to be explained ?' It
was not, he believed, on the principle represented
Virtutem incolumem
oeu:Tist
querimus invidi." It
bodyintit h
is e e tobinlaatlllun satirist
e
was not that virtue which when present aroused
envy and dislike when withdrawn from sight be-
came an object of regret. That was not at all the
case here. From his first arrival in this country the
Prince Consort never ceased to be an object of high
respect among us. (Hear.) And they all knew that
the longer he lived the more he endeared himself to
their affections, and the higher he rose in their
esteem. (Cheers.) But it was true that before that
great loss we did not in general fully understand
and appreciate that which we could estimate when
we had lost. He believed the explanation of this

lowest and most obscure position in life. The in-
evitable effect of his eminence of social position was
to prevent his worth and merit being known and
appreciated beyond a very limited circle. But when
a man who had moved so obscurely and silently in
the constant prosecution of any great work and the
performance of great public services had been, by
the inscrutable dispensations of Providence, removed
prematurely from among us, it was peculiarly fitting
that the most public demonstration of national gra-
titude and admiration should be shown to his me-
mory. (Applause.) He believed there was too much
reason to believe that the constitution of the Prince
Consort had been unstrung by his labours and
watchings for the public good. He begged to be per-
mitted for a moment to touch on some of the salient
points in the public services rendered by the late
Prince Consort. The Prince was placed in an emi-
nent position at the summit of society, from which
he.saw spread before him, as on a map, all the various
*ants, feelings, and movements of the vast commu-
nity over which he was called in some degree to pre-
side. Many men had filled like positions ; very few,
he believed, had filled them in the same manner.
He (the bishop) believed that it might be truly said
that the use which the Prince Consort made of that
she
position was to be constantly inquiring how
he could, by the means and opportunities which his
station afforded him, give the most effectual aid to
any good work that was going on throughout the
country. (Hear,hear.) He had the largest concep-
tion of the work which it was in his power to do,
and he was bent on doing it in the very best manner.
(Applause.) If only for the sake of illustration, he
(the bishop) would remind them how he encouraged
science, literature, and the arts. And that encou-
ragement was not the condescending patronage of an
indifferent and uninterested person. He was a sin-
cere lover and a successful cultivator of science, lite-
rature, and art. He did not view the subject with
the eye of a man of science, of a literary man, or of
an artist ; but he viewed them all in relation to the
public good and the general interest of society.
And, deep as was the interest which he took in such
matters, he (the bishop) would venture to say that
it was not equal to that which he felt for the phy-
sical, moral; and intellectual improvement of the
condition of the largest class of the community—
the labouring class. (Applause.) That was a sub-
ject which they knew had occupied his thoughts and
studies, perhaps, beyond all other. He was not a
mere passive and acquiescent patron of any- under-
taking that was set on foot for their benefit. Whether
it was the improvement of dwellings or the opening
places for healthy recreation, or of establishing
places where the labouring classes would find the
means of employing their leisure in the cultivation
of their minds, he showed that he felt the deepest
interest ; and, large as was the sphere he was called
on to fill with regard to the interests of this country,
his views were not confined to the British empire, but
extended as far as civilisation reached. He saw, as
it were, a glorious vision rising before his mental
eyes. It was one of the future, in which the destruc-
tive ravages of war should be exchanged for a peace-
ful and friendly competition between nations in use-
ful arts and beneficial works. (Hear.) That great idea
filled his mind more than it had done any man's be-
fore him, and he strove to realise it as far as it could
be given to one man in our age to accomplish. His
lordship proceeded—l hope I may not be thought
guilty of any indiscretion or impropriety if I ven-
ture to add that I think there is another great ser-
vice for which the late Prince has the strongest claims
to our gratitude. We know it is the case that as
the members of the Royal family come forward
successively into public life they justify the liveliest
hopes of the nation. (Applause.) For an indefinite
prolongation of the happy relations which have so
long subsisted between the Sovereign and her people
we know that we are mainly indebted to the mart
whose memory we are this day assembled to honour.
I have been touching on the great actions and ser-
TiCes—the great public services—of the Prince Con-
sort ; . but to my mind they are not so admirable as
the principles on which they stand—l mean the
principle of duty—(hear)—and I dwell on it for a
moment because it is that which is- capable of imita-
tion in every sphere, and it ennobles every sphere in
which it is observed. (Applause.) But there have
been in our time two men who have been signal
examples of that principle. The one was the great
soldier from whom your Royal Highness derives
your name—(prolonged applause)—the other the
illustrious Prince to whom you owe your birth.
That principle in the character of the great soldier
has been noticed by all his biographers, domestic
and foreign. The great achievement which changed
the destiny of the world and secured the stability of
the British Empire, was to his mind merely the
response of obedience to the call of duty. (Hear,
hear.) The things which scarcely any other man
could have done were with him that which

he could not help doing. And the same principle
showed itself in the life of the Prince Consort,
in a different form ; one certainly not less admirable,
but perhaps I may venture to 'say even more
amiable. These two men, the Duke of Wellington
and the Prince Consort, were worthy to live in the
same times. The Duke, we know, fully appreciated
the character of the Prince Consort, and from the
Prince Consort and her Majesty the Queen the
Duke of Wellington received, in the relation which
he was permitted to contract in the person of your
Royal Highness, the most signal mark of honour
and esteem which it was possible for a Monarch to
bestow on a subject. (Applause.) The right rev.
prelate then apologised for having detained them so
long, and, having briefly referred to the gloom cast
on the country by the death of the Prince Consort,
said the public feeling on that loss had been ex-
pressed by our Poet Laureate in lines which had
been wafted on the wings of music through that
vast building, the second Great Exhibition, which
had been originated by the illustrious deceased, and
those lines gave utterance to the feelings which per-
vaded every bosom :
" 0, silent father of our Kings to be
Mourn'd in our golden hour of jubilee
For this, for all, we weep our thanks to thee."
It was in that spirit and in this feeling that he in-
vited them to pay- a silent homage to the memory
of the Prince Consort.
The sentiment wa,sresponded to in solemn silence.
The MAYOR then gave the toast of " Their Royal
Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales."
His WORSHIP then rose to
give "The Health of
Prince Arthur," whose presence among them wel-
comed with all the heartiness, cordiality, and affec-
tion of a loyal people. They owed a deep debt of

he r foru thisdep
his Royal Highness for the ready gallantry with
which he had come among them and assisted them
in doing honour to the great and good Prince whose
memory they had assembled that day to comme-
morate. He was sure he expressed the sentiments
of all Welshmen when he said that they hoped to
have many opportunities hereafter of seeing him
among them. He reminded the Lord Bishop of St.
David's that the name of Arthur was also dear to
them as Welshman. Ile ventured to say that the
name of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur would
ever hereafter live in the hearts and affections of the
people of Wales. He therefore asked them to drink
the health of his Royal Highness.
The toast was received with great enthusiasm, his
Royal Highness bowing his acknowledgments.
When it had subsided,

His Royal Highness rose, and in a clear and dis-
tinct voice, spoke as follows :
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—l thank you most heartily for
the kind manner in which you have received these toasts,
and I am much obliged for the kind attention which has
everywhere been shown to me in south Wales. The Queen
