Painted by HUNTINGTON, KTLE, GHTTRCH, DARLET and MAT, CROFSEY, BALLAS, PAXIL DUGGAN. The cost of this sublime work of Art was $10,000, and it has been viewed bj more than 400,000 persoz« ir ".le largo cities of the Union. Those wbo have never seen this gorgeously painted " Mirror of the Wonderfn7. Dream," have a rich, intellectual and artistio treat in store ; " for it Ih " (says one of the leading journals of the country), " as far above the ordiikary Panoramas of the day as Bunyan's Allegory is above all other Allegories.^' acs: The following short Extracts, from some of the Standard JottmaU of the Country, show the estimation in which it is regarded: " The finest in an artistic sense, and probably the most remarkable and original ex- hibition ever produced in this city." — [N. Y. Express. " Never have we seen a Panorama which so completely filled our idea of the baauti- fal as this. "[Boston Gazette. ♦• Ab well worth listening to in its steady flow of pictorial eloq,nence, aa Henry Clay in the Senate Chamber, or Jenny Lind at Triplet Hall." — [Literary World. " No one in the least an admirer of the true and beautiful can witness these sublime productions of the jienuil without being deeply impressed by the genius and power of V the artists.

Edition after edition is thrown from the press in rapid succession; and scarcely a bouse .but contains a copy of this trul^ beautiful allegory. The story is »s familiar to the present generation as '^household words," and the journey of Christian from the City of Destruc ion to the Celestial City has been indeL'bl^' word-painted on almost eT«»ry im- agxnar.ion. But few literarv efforts have sur- vived to the age of tie Pilgrim's Progress; and among these not one has received the public attention and regard extended, from time to time, to thia unpretending religious work. Christian experience, it would seenj, in every instance, demonstrates the truth and correctness of its delineations, and thus, with the never fading beauties of a holy faith and life, is preserved, fresh, instructive and en- tertaining, the little book. In 184S, we believe, a coterie of Americui artists conceived the idea of transferring to canvas the principal scenes described by Bunyan. They were all eminent painters in the different branches of their profession — some for landscape and other for figures— and after laboring on the work for several years, produced the Tableaux now on exhibi- tion at Wyman's Hall. The conception of the scenes is grand in the extreme; the exe- cution beautiful as the most perfect finish can make it. It requires the highest order of talent, the most fervid imagination to depict with truthfulness, originality and grandeur such ideal conceptions to the eye. Every mind has dwelt upon the Valley ef the Shadow of Death, the dark stream which rolls between time and eternity, the glories o.' the upper world, and to execute these on car vas, so that other conceptions shall ap- peal tame, and additional wonders be added to individual interpretations of the future, is no ocmmon task and no common triumph. Among the fifty or sixty views of which the Tableaux is composed, we might perhaps •elect two or three as pre-eminently beauti- ful. That showing Christian as he enters, with his companion Hopefiil, the dark river of Death; is certainly a conception of pecu- liar power. We know not, in all the lan- guage of poetic description, a combination of figures equal to it. The death of Christian is of equal merit, whether represented beneath the canopy of a couch, or on the same blacV wave. The entrance of thc^ latter into the Cekrtial Cttjr, th» ooUmi itreeti of which an larad by fhfc mar of Death (bat tha waters on that uda aia n- diant with lifht), is absolutely (orgsoaa. It will require a rara pencil to surpass it in ite ideal or execution. Vanitr Fair is anotnar interesting scene, faithfuUr dalinaap ting the author, and truthfully exhibiting ^ emptiness of honors and enjoymente pur- chased at the expense of religion and virtue. We ask of the public a generous attention to the merite of tnis great work. To those who have read Bunyan, this exquisite picto* rial exhibition will be peculiarly gratiiyiBg; to those who have not, a view of the Tab- leax will prove, when they come to pursue his pages, a strong expositor of the design and force of the author. The moral and re- ligious effecU of such a painting should not be overlooked. The Christian's progress in t^t divine life is traced throughout — his tehiptations and his triumphs faithfully given — and while in this consiste the great merit of the Pilgrim's Progress, the artists have pursued, with faultless accuracy, the spirit of the author. They have transferred in the most beautifiil style of art, the written al- legory to canvas, so life-like that Ae dream of the imprisoned writer has almost become tangible reality to the beholder. — St. Louii Intelligencer. Pamokama or thb Piloum's Pboosisb. Tlirough the courtes'^ ef Mr. May and his brother artists, we fo. . . ed one of the company invited to t ; present at the first exhibition of this work. It consists of three parte: The first opens with Bunyan dreaming, and closes with the execution of Faithful. In the sec- ond, By ends, Money-Love, and Fair Speech meet the Pilgrims, and it terminates with their entering the River of Death. The third part represents scenes from the second part of Bunyan's work — Great-heart with Chris- tiana and her family at the spring — the pas- sage through the Valley of the Shadow of Death — the Land of Beulah, and the iourney onward to the gate of the Celestial City. Seldom, if ever, have we viewed an effort of art tti this kind with greater delight and satisfaction . The scenec of the glorious drea- mer are most happily conceived^ and have been transferred to the canvas with a spirit and truthfulness which every lover of Bun- yan must appreciate, presenting to him a ^accession not of daubings, but of beautifully executed paintings. It is said that upwards of $10,000 have been expended on a work which will command, we venture to predict, a large share ef public patronage. — Pnu ChurcknuM. ^Naw THuas cm or Old.— On ThiirsUiiy 4 7\ ! ^^^■;ti 4 '•■If ^■^^.A. ^mi M i» t -f .rfVgJQ^^ .^■^iiQy^fi'\^il^ 3^b22^ l2(l^ ^ 'Y evening, Nov. 7tli, we nnmljered ono of & spell bound audionce, who realized, .',s in a vivid dream, the perila and allin .nents through which the "Pilgrim of I' .c ;rfss " safely passes. The allegory of 'iunyan which delighted oar childhood ^ritli its imagery, rivaling the Arabian Mights in its fascinations, was presented "in a masterly manner in Panoramic view. It was intro- duced with a few remarks, in substance that the story was not to be spoken, but to be read by the audience in connected and sug- gestive picture. We envied the sleeper, who lay like one unwearied but stretched upon the sod in revery, as if closing his eyes upon the lovely scene around the gaze with mental vision. Then, in rapid succession, as if the artist feared t» trust even the partial eye of fiiends, the first part was passed iu< view ; there was the cot and the loved ones calling, and the eartii teeming with delights, but the Pilgrim's eye rested on warning words, bid- ding him escape for life; taking a way he knows not, he soon desponds ; a friendly hand raises him from the mire ; lie has a ter- rible journey throiigh Ilumifiation and the ^ Valley of the Shadow of Death, so that we t^ feel inclined to take comfort with him in the House Beautiful. David was the only man who could fight best without annor. The sister Virtues clothe Christian in mail, and henceforth he appears a knight of the cross. The peaceful path discovered by Penn was to him unknown, and well for him that his armor had been assayed ere he met his dread enemy Apolyon ; nor can he trust altogether to his own shield with sueh an adversary. We slept with liim in the arbor us one claim^i rest after hard toil. In passing Vanity Fair we saw many familiar scenes, and remem- bering that only one Man had resisted the glory of the World, we were lost in the meaning of the allegory when the Pilgrim was solicited with earthly crowns ; again the world is rejected, and now more hopeful, he S' \j} delights in contemplating with Shepherds the r E-ternal City ; then along a beautiful river of calm life the route is seen, perennial flowers and fruits strewn around. Anon quiring ^;j| Cherubim attend, encircling a chariot which Iff u is to cai-r;' him on high. Thus far we thought and wrote, and found that we were but half way through the subject, enough, liowever, to convince that description is not desirable for any who can go and see for themselves. Job was eyes to the blind, but Booh have passed away, and if alive would not meet encom'agement in this univer.sally enlightened nation. W« can not forbear praising the skill which has linked such iseauties of landscape and architecture, where the gorgeous is exquisitely managed, and the sight charmed with harmonious coloriiig and graceful forms. We are glad to find an entertainment altogether unexceptionable, pleasing alike to child and man, and vote a hearty resolution of thanks to the able artist.si brought out. — Preit. whose work is now exhibiting, and wish them the 8U0C.SS so highly raerited.^ — Churchman. A Remarkablb Panoba' v. — We are somewhat chary of our praised of the thou- sp^d and one exhibitions in this branch of art, witli which town and country have been inundated, since Mr. Banvard first conceived the idea of painting by the acre, and unrolled the long lengths of th(> Mississippi to onr astonished gaze. But we must do justice to a series of illustrations of John Bunyan's " Pil- grim's Progress," which are now open, to the public at 588 Broadway. The artisf pre- serves an ineognitiof but we, nevertheless beg to testify the surprise and pleasure Ti^ith wliich we have seen his bold imaginings, and his masterly execution in sketching some of the scenes and incidents of Bunyan's im- mortal book. Alternately, or rather as the text dictates, we have the beantiful and tho terrible in landscape, the horribly grotesque and delicately spiritualized in form and figure Christian and giant Despair — the Deleo-i|^ table Mountains, and the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Those who like strong sensations are advised to tuin aeide from the Vanity Fair of Broadway, and spend an hour with this admirably ^lustrated edition of one 0^ the chiefest of English authors. If neither their artistic taste be gratified, nor their religious impulses he quickened, they will at least be assisting to pay for a laborious and spirited work. — Mbion, Nov. l4. The Pilgrim Panorama. — ^With a large number of the clergy of the city of New York, and onr brethren of the press, we had the pleasure, a few evenings since, of seeing the opening of a new and beautiful Panorama. It represents the Pilgrim's Progress of Bun- yau, on a thousand feet of eanvass, with all the most striking scenes of the wonderful story portmyed with masterly skill and eilect. W« had not supposed that the dra- matic "nature of the story was susceptible of such delineation to the eye ; but as the va rious scenes, Christian with his bundle, at the palace Beautiful, at the Cross, fighting with ApoUyon; — the Delectable Mountains, the interview with the Shepherds, the land of Beulah, the River of the Water of Life, and many more that we have not time to mention, successively came into view, we were delighted with the skill of the artists and the moral effect of the exhibition. iTie success of this exhibition can not be a matter ^ of doubt. All the admirers of the Pilgrim's Progress (and who are net t) all the admirers of beautiful pictures (and who are not?) should by no means fail of seeing this. Families and sabbath schools, pastors an( people, young and old, will admire it an( derive real gratification and improvemen; from ita study.
