Lady Augusta Stanley then came forward, and with the assistanqe of Mr. Young, unveiled the statue, amidst the. enthusiastic plaudits of the multitude, a military band in attendance playing the national anthem. The Mayor then called upon The_ Dean of Westminster, who was “ Bunyan’s Pilgrim lies that shelf upon, A genius, rare but rough, was honest J ohn.” (cheers). Indeed the very poorest child in the land may possess it, for I have here (holding up a copy) an edition of 400 pages, clearly, and nicely printed, the retail price of which is one penny (cheers). The Duke of Bedford, with noble munificence, has raised this statue of John Bunyan to be placed here on this pedestal on St. Peter’s-green. (cheers). You will find in all. the great cities in Europe numerous statues in honor of hostoric personages, but people pass, them by without notice, and why? It is because they are placed in situa- tions which are in no way connected with the deeds or the lives of the per- sons commemorated. Our statute of, Bunyan stands upon a site directly the ‘ reverse of those failures. He passed his life in this town and in the sur- rounding villages. Little more than a mile from this pedestal was the place of his birth; and what is of still higher importance not many yards from this spot is the prison in which he suffered that long and tedious twelve years’ cen- finement (cheers). See, then, how suitable it is that this memorial of “the glorious dreamer ” should be placed in this situation (cheers). The statue will be now uncovered by the hands of Lady Augusta Stanley, W110 has greatly hon- ored us by undertaking the task (loud cheers). It is a wonderful work of art of gigantic proportions, and I do not. Know a similar work in England equal to it. It is a great credit, not only to Mr. Boehm, the sculptor, but to Mr. Young, the founder, who has followed the model admirably (cheers). Silence having been obtained, the Mayor said: “ Fellow townsmen, it is now about 200 years since John Bun- yan pursued his great work in this neighborhoodâ€"a work not only benefi- cial for his own times, but for all sucâ€" ceeding ages (cheers). -“ Pilgrim’s Pro- gress ” is a, work which, except the Holy Scriptuies, has been more Widely circuâ€" lated than any book ever produced beâ€" fore or since. It is to be found in the palaces of the great, the mansions of the wealthy, and the cottages of the poorâ€" [From the London Standard] Yesterday a colossal statute of John Bunyan, the gift of the Duke of Bedâ€" lord to that town, was unveiled with some ceremony and amidst general re- joicing. The famous author of “ Pil- grims Progress ” was, as every one knows, born at Elstow, a village about a mile and a half from Bedford, and his after-life sufferings and labours are so identified with the town that no more appropriate place for the memorial to him could be found; The spot on which the statute is placed has no direct rc- ference-to any incident in Bunyan’s car- eer. It is, indeed, at almost the farâ€" thest point from the site of the prison in which he was incarcerated, but it is admirably adapted to give full eflect to the noble work of the sculptor. It is placed in the southâ€"east corner of St. Peter’s-greenâ€"â€"a small expanse of beauâ€" tiful green sward, and in the back ground stands the picturesque Norman church, dedicated to St. Peter, and is well planted, garden like graveyard. The artist is Mr. J. E. Boehm, of Ful- ham-road. The features are modelled from a centemporary portrait in the possession of the Rev. -~. Olive, and the attitude, at once characteristic and dignified, is that of a preacher, with an open Bible in liis‘hand, and behind his feet lie chains, typical of his imprison- ment. The height of the figure is about ten feet, and the dress is that of the period. It has been most successfully cast in bronze by Messrs. Young & 00., of the Eccleston \Vork, Pimlico, and is in every respect satisfactory. The statue is placed upon the pedestal form- ed by a single block of granite, five tons in weight. 0n the front and two sides _'are 'basso-relievos, the subjects being taken from the “ Pilgrim’s Progress.” That on the south represents Evangelist I directing Christian to the wicket-gate ; that on the front is the copflict with Apollyon; and that on the north side the Three Shining Ones pointing out to Christian the Celestial City. They are all designed and executed in the highest style of art. On the fourth side of the pedestal is the following; inscription :â€" Amongst the company were Lady Augusta Stanley, and a large party of the ladies of the locality, Earl Cowper, the Lord Lieutenant, Mr. Bassett, M. P. for Beds; Messrs. Polhill Turner, Whitbread, and the members for the borough; 1\Ir. Jas. Howard and Mr. Magniac, two eXâ€"members ; Dr. Coombs and the borough magistrates; the Rev. C. Breton, rural dean; the Dean 'West- minster, Dr. Allon, Dr. Brock, the Rev. J . Copner, rector of Elstow, the Rev. John Brown, &C. THE BEDFORD STATUE~~ADDRESS BY DEAN STANLEY. The event was observed as a general holiday, flags were flying in every di- rection, the church bells rang merry peels throughout the day, and the weather being remarkably fine the streets were filled with well dressed ladies and gentlemen. Soon after one o’clock the Mayor, Town Clerk, Alderâ€" men, and Councillors, proceeded by the mace bearers and the insignia of their official position, together with the prin- cipal inhabitants, marched in procession from the Shire Hall to St. Peter’s-green. There a substantial platform had been erected adjacent to the statue, which stood enwrapped in cerements as it were? of canvas. It stood as if it pleaded , With men.” 011 the bronze tablet beneath the statue is an exact copy of the well known auto- graph, “John Bunyan.” ‘ “It had eyes lifted up to Heaven The best of books in his hand. The {aw of tlluth wafi writtel} upon 11 lips‘ JOHN BUN YAN . ' tal renown, and Bedford to-day pays backsome part of the debt she owes to him. I shall not, however, surrender without a struggle the share which En- gland at large has in our illustrious townsman to your local columns. Something of the national and cosmo- politan character of Bunyan’s works was probably owing to the wandering gipsy life he led in his youth as a tin- ker, and in the more serious journeyin g in his after life in what may be called his episcopal visitations. If we follow the track of the young soldier, whether in the Royal or the Parliamentarian army (it is notcertain which), when he so narrowly escaped the shot that laid his comrade low at the siege of Leices- ter, we still find that he probably ob- tained there the material for the “ Holy war ” and the “ Siege of Mansoul." When I was exploring “ the Pilgrim’s Way ” to Canterbury I was much inr pressed with the ingenious theories of one of the Officers of the Ordnance, Survey, who held that the pilgrim of} the 17th century, John Bunyan, caught? the idea of the Hill of Difliculty' and the Delectable Mountains from the hills through which that track meanâ€" ders ; and might he not from' his early visit to London have obtained the 110â€" tion of Vanity Fair? At any rate, we ‘ know that crowds attended his preachâ€" ‘ing at Zoar Chapel inS'Outhwark, and he rests in the grave of:his hoist, Standâ€" rake, the grocer, in the~venerable cemeâ€" tery of Bunhill-fields. These however, will not compete with his birthplace at Elstow,_w]1e1'e you have the cottage of his early home, the venerable church in which he first worshipped, and the massive tchr containing the very bells he so lustily rang, the village green where his vsports were interrupted by terrible dreams, and the puddles on which he was tempted to try his first miracle. Elstow, however hardly riv- als “the den” at Bedford; and it is most fitting that the first statue erect- ed to his memory should be the gift of the noble head of that illustrious house to the town of Bedford Irom which he derives his chief title (cheers). You are right, however, to claim him as your own, for it the strength of a coun- try, and of a town, to have its famous men held in everlasting remembrance. Such are the links by which the local greatness of a whole country is bound to- gether (cheers). You have become im- mortal through himâ€"take care that you do not let his fame be obscured by your unworthincss (cheers). Turning to what may be ctlled his ecclesiastical career, we must remember that he was a Baptist, orAnabaptistâ€"a name which once struck terror and dismay through whole states in Europe, but which, even in Bunyan’s time, had subscided into a quiet, peaceful community a sect which numbered on its roll Havelock amongst its soldiers, Carey and Marâ€" sham amongst its missionaries, and Robert Hall amongst its preachers (cheers). I only speak of the dead, but whether living or dead there is no other name amongst them to which all other Churches how the heads so reverently received with cheers, and saidâ€"The Mayorhas asked me to say a few words, and I shall obey him by making them very few. The Mayor has done. his work, the Duke of Bedford has done his work, and I now ask you to do your work ; and that is, if any of you have not read the “ Pilgrim’s Progress ” :do it without delay, and those who have read it a hundred times read it for the hundred and first time; and having done so, then follow out in your lives the lesson which “ Pilgrim’s Progress ” teaches, and you will all be a better monument of John Bunyan then even this magnificent statue that the Duke of Bedford has given your town (loud cheers). MerVrighb, who said he represented1 the Baptists of Birmingham, also ad; drcssed the meeting. It had given him great pleasure that day to hear the church bells ringing out merrily ill-- hofior of the great; Nonconformist hero of Bedford (cheers). ' Cheers for the Queen, for the Duke of Bedford, for the Lady Augusta Stan- ley, and for the Mayor concluded this portion of the day’s proceedings. At three o’clock a public nevting was held in the new Corn Exchange. a remarkably handsome and spacious structure, capable of seating something like 800 persons. On the platform were the representatives of some of the most distinguished county families, and proâ€" bably a. more brilliant assemblage was never gathered together in Redford. In a Mge glass case in front of the chair- man were a number of Bunyan relics, including his folio edition of “Fox’s Acts and Monuments ” and other books, lavishly annotated on the margins of the pages in his own handwriting. There were also his Walking-stick and other personal matters. His chair is still preserved in the vestry of the “Bunyan Chapel ” in the town. Dean Stanley, who was received with great cheering began his address as fol- lows: “ As I walked through the wild~ eltness of this World I lighted upon a certain place where there was a den I” These words have been translated into hundreds of languages, and the question has been often asked, where was that place and where was that denr.l The answer given has always beenâ€"The name of that place is Bedford, and the name of that den Bedford' Gaol. ,This it is which has given to the town of Bedford its chiefâ€" may I say, Without offence, its only title to universaland everlasting fame (cheers and laughter.) It is exactly 200 years since Bunyan re- solved upon what to him was a great venture, namely, to publish that work The Mayor, Who occupied the elmir,‘ commenced the proceedillgsby stating that he had received letters of apology from Baroness Burdettâ€"Coutts. the Lord Mayor, and Sir Chas. Been, the last of Whom expressed a, hope that the meet- ing would not forget Bunyan’s fellowâ€" prisoner in Bedtor‘d Gaol, Thomas Marston, of Lutofi', from whose daugh- ter the present Recorder of London claimed direct descent. After some ex- cellent remarks upon the life and cherâ€" acter of Bun'yan, the Mayor called upon the Dean of Westminster to address the meeting. ' ’ as t) that of John Bunyan. We min- isters of" the National Church have, much whereof to glory. ,Our claims to i the gratitude and affectiOn of: the Coun- try is our institutions, our liturgy, our translation of the Bible, which' has done so much to elevate and sustain the na- tional character, _altho:ugh:.-We‘_ know that others dissent from much that we teach and much that we hold dear , wt we know that this boast is not ours con elusively. You» all. remember Lerd Macaulay’s remark that the seventeenth century only produccfd two, men of or- , iginal geniusâ€"and these tva were John Milton and John Bunyan (great cheerâ€" ing.) And I will venture to add to that remark of Maciiilay’s that in all 01“: English literature there have been only two works 'universally. ;pbpular, and both of them were written by Non- conforiiiists4â€"01ic was'the Vivork of ,a ‘ Presbyterian journalist, and it is’ called “Robinson Crusoe” (cheers); and the other was a Baptist teacher, and its name is “ Pilgrim’s Progress” (loud cheers). In fact, the Nonconformists have splendid literature of their own, and we must remember that literature may be channels of grace no less s'pirit- ual than {sacraments or doctrines, chap- els or churches. Bunyan says, “There ‘ was in a certain place two giants, who had either been dead many days or had ‘ grown so crazy and stiff in their joints that they could no more than sit in the ‘ mouth of their cave and grin at the pilgrims going by.” But there was an~ other giant. very stout and hearty Bunyan’s time, his name wasOld Inâ€" tolerance (cheers,, a giant who in the shape of Presbyterianism, could not bear illiterate teaclieis, and who, in the shape of EpiscOpacy, shut up Bunyan for twelve yearsin Bedford gaol. All ‘ this is dead and gone forever (cheers). ‘ Do not be too jubilant, for the old giant is still alive ! He may be in many , shapes and on all sides of us. The spirit of burning and imprisonment has not altogether departed from mankind, whether Churchmen or Nonconformists; ‘ but such giants are “_ very stiff and crazy,” and when this day we see the clergy and Nonconformists of Bedford r. rejoicing in common over the merits of - him who suffered ’at the hands of all our forefathers it"is a proof that the - world has becomea littleinore Chris - tian and a little more charitable, and . more inclined to~ see good rather than ‘ evil in each other. A» N onconformist Writer of eminence said the other day, after.describing the laws"‘under which , Bunyan suffered, that those were the laws of the land to this day. No! , thank God, it is many along day, since they were in force (cheers). In the very year‘in which John Bunyan died that revolution took place to which, when compared with all others, might , be applied all alone {to the good old name'of ” glorious,” arid one result of which was the Toleration Act (cheers). From thatm'oment such laws. as the ' Convention Act and the Five Mile Act ble. ‘We gained something even then, for Barlow, the Bishop of Lincoln be- friended Bunyan, and Whitehead, the Quaker, who was considered by Bunâ€" yan himself as hardly better than a engvmiuistered 11130 rhim. Much was done for religious 'eedom by Wil- liam III., and by the Whig statesman1 and prelates of his time, and not the‘ least by the great house ovau'ssell, who having befriended the Nonconformists in their days of trial, have in every succeeding generation striven to open the gates of the prison house of intoler: ancc wider and Wider still, so that they can never be closed again either in Bed- ford or any where else (loud cheers). Bunyan was great asthe hero of tolera- tion. He was greater still as a preachâ€" er, but beyond all comparison he is greatest as the teacher of our children â€"as the author of these characters whose names and faces are familiar to the whole world. As the author of Pilgrim’s Progress,” I speak to you of Bunyan in a world-wide senseâ€"not as a Churchman, but as a Christian to Christians, as a‘man to men (cheers). Itis one of the greatest charms of that immortal werk that we trace no word in it of Baptist or Poedebaptist, Protes- tant or Catholic. It is one of the few books in existence (and 1 know only six others, and they in a' less degree) Which blends in perfection religious inâ€" struction with amusement, and which may be read With equal enjoyment and advantage by the humblest person and the most fastidious critic. “ Pilgrim’s Progress ” is entirely catholic â€"â€"that is, universalâ€"both in expression and thought. I do not mean to say that it contains no sentiments which may not be distasteful to some, or that it has not a certain, tinge of colour, but it is so slight. as to be almost imperceptible. He recognised the great truth, that Christianity does not Consist in names and shibboleths. In the Interpreter’s House Christian is shown a garden, and it is pointed out to 1him that “ the flowers are divers in shape, in quality, in colour, in smell. and in virtue, and some are better than some, but when the garden is set they quarrel not with one another.“ And yet there is no compromise in his words, 'no faltering in his convictions, but his admiration is reserved for all things that good men love, and detestation fer those which all good men detest (cheers). Though a Puritan and a Galvanist he was not afraid to take the frame-work of his story from Catholic sourcesâ€"the pil- grim’s habit, the (wayside cross, the armour of the crusader, the “ringing of the bell at the wicket-gate. Never was there such a combination of Protestant of Charles II. became forever impossi-. ideas with mediaeval forms seen before ‘ and never since.

Soorning such prejudices one of our leading practitioners is now making known to the public through the columns of over three thousand newspapers, one of the most compre- hensive remedies for disease that has ever assuaged the sufferings of human- ity. DR. WALKER’s CALIFORNIA VIN- EGAR BITTERS, although comparatively a new medicine, has already attracted the attention of millions in both hemis- pheres. It has been advertised through all the channels accessible to advertis- ing enterprise, and the result has been the preservation of thousands of lives, and the prevention of an untold amount of physical torture. Dr. Walker thinks that the “greatest good of the greatest number ” is the true object of medical science, and hence he steps boldly out of the contracted circle of professional exebsiveness, and places his Great Restorative within the reach of all. Its beneficial effect in cases of chronic dyspepsia, billiousness,. kidney disease, gout, disease of threat and lungs, rheua matism, nervous complaints, and all disâ€" 3 orders of the secretive and excretive organs, is beyond all estimate.
