The Welsh Memorial to the Late Prince

Consort.

TEND Y, Thursday.
The statue raised by the people of Wales in me-
mory of " Albert the Good " is now unveiled, and
stands a prominent object on the coast of South
Wales. The proceedings of the ceremony went off
without disappointment or obstruction, and the
weather, which was threatening in the morning,
afterwards cleared up. Thousands of people flocked
to the town, and arrivals by steamer and train con-
tinued to pour in even after the ceremony had been
concluded. In the course of the morning a detach-
ment of the 62d Regiment arrived from Milford,
and there were also Volunteer Corps from Haver-
fordwest and Pembroke Dock, besides the Castle
Martin Yeomanry. These were disposed around
the Castle-hill and the foot of the monument.
Opposite the monument was erected a, gallery for
ladies and subscribers to the memorial, and adjoin-
ing it was a raised dais for the reception of Prince
Arthur and his suite. Here seats were placed for
the Prince and his attendants. A procession was
formed at the Gate-house Hotel, in which the
mayors of the district, magistrates, clergy, sheriffs,
lord-lieutenants, and the corporation of Tenby took
part. The Prince walked in the procession. He
was attired in a Highland dress, and looked re-
markably well. The procession. first wound round
the hill and the monument, and then the principal
personages entered the raised dais. The Mayor of
Tenby (Mr. G. White), as chairman of the Memo-
rial Committee, then advanced to his Royal High-
ness, and read the following address from the people
of Wales :

" May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the contri-
butors to the erection in Tenby of a memorial statue of his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort, approach your Royal
Highness with sentiments of loyal and dutiful attachment
to the person of our gracious Sovereign the Queen and to
her Royal House. It is with feelings of the liveliest plea-
sure that we see among us a son of the illustrious Prince
whose memory the statue to be now inaugurated is designed
to honour. And we desire humbly to express our grateful
sense of deep obligation to her Majesty for the twofold
favour she has conferred upon us—first, in having been
graciously pleased to give the sanction of her approbation
to the erection of the memorial now to be unveiled to public
view ; and, next, for allowing your Royal Highness to act
as her representative on this occasion. By the liberality
of an individual contributor we have been enabled to erect
this memorial on a site possessing in an eminent degree
the advantage of being at once singularly conspicuous and
of perfectly easy access. As a work of art we trust that it
may be found not unworthy of the favourable judgment of
her Majesty, and, however unequal every such monument
must be to the dignity of the subject, it will, at least, as we
hope, be for generations to come a witness to the affec-
tionate loyalty of the Welsh people, to their respectful
sympathy with the private sorrow of their Queen, and to
their just appreciation of the noble qualities and the great
public services by which your Royal Highness's illustrious
father won tho admiration and gratitude of the country."
To this his Royal Highness made the following
gracious reply :

" Mr. Mayor and gentlemen,--I hardly know how to
thank you as I could wish for your kind address. How
deeply it would have touched and pleased my dear mother
could she have been here herself, to witness, in the recep-
tion which I, as her son, have this day met with, the proof
of the unshaken loyalty andaffection of her Welsh subjects;
and, above all, to trace in the noble work of art to be now
uncovered such gratifying evidence of their reverence for
the great and noble qualities of my beloved father and ap-
preciation of his great public services ! I shall never forget
this day, nor your kind welcome ; and I shall ever think
with pride and pleasure of having been allowed, young as
1 am, to represent my dear mother on this most interest-
ing occasion." (Great applause.)

The Bishop of St. DAVID'S then offered up an
extemporaneous prayer, asking a blessing on the
undertaking. All those who were near enough to
hear what was going on stood uncovered while the
Bishop offered up prayers ; but one clergyman (or
a person so habited) stood immediately facing the
Prince with his hat on his head.

At a signal from the Mayor the statue was then
uncovered, and a burst of admiration rose 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
occasion with flags, &c., the Red Dragon of Wales,
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 hie 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 " 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, " 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, lle (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
by the Roman satirist Virtutem incolumem
odimus emblatum ex oculis querimus invidi." It
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. (Wear.) 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

was a simple one. The fact was that in consequence
of his eminent position he was as much withdiwn
from the public view as if he had been east in the
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 pod. 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
wants, 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
eminent 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 ke 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 fbr 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 man
whose memory we are this day assembled to honour.
I have been touching on the great actions and ser-
vices—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 whichper-
vaded every bosom :

" 0, silent father of our Kings to be
Mourn'd in our golden hour of jubilee
For this, for all, wo 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 wasresponded 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
gratitude to her Majesty for deputing his Royal
Highness to represent her on this solemn and yet
most interesting occasion, and especially they owed
a debt of gratitude, affection, and remembrance to
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 : _ _

it please
y
Ladies, and Gentlemen,—ln compliance with
the request
of the Mayor, I rise to respond to the toast which your
Royal Highness has just given—a toast which, I can
ven-
ture to say, not merely touches the heart of every Welsh-
man here present, but which will be treasured in the memory
of thousands of ' Her Majesty's loyal Welsh people,' and be
recorded from generation to generation. (Cheers.) I should
indeed be insensible, if I did not greatly prize the privilege
I now enjoy of endeavouring to express the gratitude of my
countrymen now present, as well as those not in the room,
for this proof of the Queen's remembrance of us in the toast
which; by her Majesty's gracious command, your Royal
Highness has just given. (Cheers.) But I also feel deeply
the impossibility of finding words of sufficient power to
express the feelings of the Welsh people, whose unvarying
loyalty affords the best proof of their devoted attachment
to her who is not merely their hereditary ruler, but who is
the Sovereign of their affections. (Cheers.) The Cymry
not only respect and obey, but they love, their Queen ;
and in the inauguration of the memorial which has taken
place this day we are especially reminded of that illustrious
and ever-to-be-lamented Prince whom she selected as her
Consort, by which act she conferred a real blessing upon her
subjects, which the Welsh have to acknowledge in common
with the other races that people her Majesty's dominions.
(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The influence of the Prince
Consort was naturally felt throughout the whole length and
breadth of those vast dominions ; it was an influence so
good, so mild, so just, so wise, that when it ceased to exist
the loss was universally deplored, and a blank was created
which can never bo supplied. (Hear, hear.) Before I con-
clude I beg to be permitted to notice some remarkable cir-
cumstances and coincidences connected with this occasion.
In the first place, the propitious circumstances of the pre-
sence of a Prince who bears the name of Arthur—that name
so dear to Welshmen. Next, it is a remarkable coincidence
that it was on this very shore, 384 years ago, that Henry
of Richmond landed in this month of August, within four
days of the present date, soon after which the battle of
Bosworth was fought, when the banner of the Red Dragon
of Wales, ever foremost in the fight, led on the Welsh to
victory. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I see that that noble
Dragon has not been forgotten in the decorations of this
room. It has been the emblem of stanch support of the
Throne, and is still the crest and the banner of the princi-
pality. I must also add that the worthy Mayor who now
presides at this banquet is the lineal descendant of the
White, in this town of Tenby, who rendered most important
services to that same Henry of Richmond who was after-
wards one of the greatest Sovereigns of the Tudor dynasty.
(Loud cheers.) I could cite many instances to show that
Tenby and the county of Pembroke are most particularly
associated with the historical annals of Wales, and its selec-
tion for the solemn ceremony of this day is rendered still
more appropriate by its being within the diocess of St.
David's, and not far from the cathedral of the titular saint
of the principality. (Hear.) Once more, in the name of my
countrymen, I beg to thank your Royal Highness for the
toast thus graciously given, and I beg also to offer our
humble duty to the Queen, with the assurance of the de-
voted attachment of her Majesty's ' Loyal People of Wales."
(Loud and long-continued cheering.)

Lord LLANOVER, having given the last toast of the
evening, " The Health of the Chairman of the Me-
morial Committee,"
The MAYOR (Mr. White) responded in a few
happy sentences, and the party rose.

His Royal • Highness and suite returned to his
apartments at the Gatehouse Hotel, and shortly
afterwards left in a carriage for the railway station,
and proceeded by train to Pembroke dock, a salute
of 21 guns honouring his departure. His Royal High-
