MAJOR ED IVARDES IN SHROPSHIRE The announcement of the return of this distin guished officer to the land of his birth, after 10 years' arduous service in India, created the liveliest sensa tions of joy and pride in his native county, Shrop shire ; and on the fact becoming known that he would arrive in Shrewsbury on Saturday lost preparations were made to do him every honour it is in the power of the inhabitants to bestow. A meeting of the Town Council was held on Fri day evening, at which it was resolved that the cor poration should meet Major Edwardes at the rail way station, and escort him to the Town-hall, and there present him with a congratulatory address. The address, which was written by Mr. J. J. Peele, the town-clerk, was agreed to with a unanimity and hear tiness strongly in contrast with the peace preservers of Southampton. Oa Saturday afternoon, about three o'clock, the Mayor and other members of the corporation formed in a line of procession in front of the Town-hall, and, preceded by a band, walked to the railway station. A. large number of the most re spectable tradesmen of the town and gentlemen of the neighbourhood joined the procession ; the streets were crowded, and the windows along the route were ,filled with ladies. At a quarter to 4 o'clock the train reached the sta tion, when the band struck up " See the conquering Hero comes," and a number of fog signals having been placed on the rails, their explosion had the effect of the firing of cannon. The interior of the large and handsome station was crowded with a most re spectable assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, the latter of whom cheered the gallant Major loudly and repeatedly on his alighting from the carriage, which he repeatedly acknowledged with frank cordiality. Major Edwardes was accompanied by his aunt Lady Edwardes, and by Mr. J. T. Edwardes, of Shrews bury, his cousin. The procession having reformed, Major Edwardes walked by the side of the Mayor to the Town-hall, which was speedily filled to overflowing, the galleries being occupied by ladies. He was cheered most en thusiastically along the streets. The following is a copy of the address read to Major Edwardes by the Town-clerk, Mr. J. J. Peele. It was frequently cheered during the delivery : Major Herbert Edwardes,—The corporation of this town, convinced that they are acting in accordance not with their own sentiments alone but with those of the inhabitants generally, have unfeigned pleasure in at tending upon the present occasion to express their sin cere and most hearty congratulations to you, sir, upon your return to your native land, after a career so boaoursbie to yourself', so deeply gratifying to your friends, so buteficial to the ietcrest of the empire, and of that very liberal service to which you belong. Most cordially, sir, do we bid you welcome. " The long connexion that has subsisted between your family and the borough and county we refer to with pride and satisfaction, and it emboldens us thus early to occupy your attention; f,r, sir, we do not forget that to the influence and exertion of one ofyour aucest ;rs, who became a burgess just three centuries ago, Shrewsbury is indebted for that royal grant from the pious Edward which e,tablished our excellent foundation, the Fete Grammar School; others of your predecessors have filled the highest honours of this town and county, and also repretented our interest in the Legislature, and all do honour *to the Salopian burgess-roll; but we cannot doubt that in future ages no name among our freemen will be received with more respect and esteem than that of Major Herbert Edwardes. " We would assure you, sir, that whilst your eventful career has been so justly and universally apprec'ated in this country, it has been viewed with peculiar gratifica- Von by Shropshire men. We heard with satisfaction of the posts of grave responsibility entrusted to your care and judgment—viewed with pleasure how amply you justified by your firm and judicious course the confidence reposed in you; but, sir, it is to your deeds of daring courage and brilliant success we would venture pecu liarly to allude—deeds that we do hope and trust will tend, under Providence, to the permanent security of the blessings of peace, and the extension and due apprecia tion of the benefits of British rule in her eastern posses alone. Early selected as an aide-dc-camp by the gallant and victorious chief whose return also to this country will be warmly greeted by all true British hearts, you, by your talents and enterprise, fully justified that ho nourable preference. It wa% however, on the plains of Moultm, eearly two years since, on the anniversary of that most memorable day in England's history which released the destinies of Europe from a despot's power, and shortly afterwards, on the field of S sctooz sm, opportunities were afforded of developing your eminent talents as a soldier, and where, with a triumphant success, fit to be mentioned with the glories:of Pla•sey and the chivalrous courage of a Clive, you se cured great honour to yourself, gave a noble example to others, obtained important advantages for the pnblic service, and added a brilliant page to the annals of the Indian army. To one circumstance we would particu larly allude—those achievements were accomplished by you, sir, not at the head of British soldiers, but with the aid alone of native troops, hastily collected and kept together by your almost unexampled energies and influ ences—troops relying upon your undaunted courage and resolution, and thereby evincing a confidence most flat tering to yourself and to the name and character of a British officer. But, sir, we will not weaken by attempt ing to describe your successes; the knowledge of them must have conferred extreme pleasure upon your family and friends; they have been viewed with grateful interest by hire whose nomination you by your conduct have so greatly honoured, have been the subject of general approbation through the length and breadth of the land have been publicly spoken of by that illustrious soldier, the late Governor-General of India, Lord Hardiuge, 'as merits and eminent service of which it was impossible to speak too highly,' have been alluded to in Parliament by the First Minister of the Crown in terms of great praise, and, above all, have been stamped by the special favour of our most Gracious Sovereign. " As, however, Sir, another opportunity will, we trust, be afforded of publicly bearing our testimony to your eminent services, we now mclude by adding that whilst in returning to your native country you not only meet honoured relatives, anxious warmly to greet you, we trust that you will believe that the men of Shropshire do feel that of your career of triumph they have just cause to be proud, and most unfeignedly do we welcome and congratulate you. May you long be spared to do credit and honour to your country. May you reap a rich re ward for your great services. Sir, may we add a sincere hope that your future course in this world may not be devoid of those sources of domestic happiness to which you have lately so pleasingly and feelingly alluded?" Major EDWARDES replied as follows :—Mr. Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen of Shropshire,—When I left London this morning I was quite unprepared for the honour you have paid me, and I hope you will accept of the unstudied but heartfelt thanks of a soldier.— (Applause.) I have been ten years absent from my native country, and I need not expatiate to you on the pleasure I feel on my return home, or on the feelings I entertained in my absence of the miseries of the one or the pleasures of the other.—(Applause.) The return to one's own native county, I should say, is the very centre, core, and kernel of the joy of re turning to one's native land.—(Cheers.) Since I last stood on English soil I have travelled over many lands—over a great part of the globe. I have seen the ocean in its anger and in its repose ; I have seen the glorious sunrises and sunsets in that gorgeous land and over those lovely waters of the Indian Ocean ; I have been through the whole of Upper India, and have seen that beautiful range of mountains so celebrated in Affghan story; but not for one moment, in all those enchanting scenes, did I forget my native Salopia.—(Loud cheers.) Even among the splendid range of the Himalaya mountains, whose grandeur is said to ex ceed the Alps and the Pyrenees, I never forgot, even amid their magnificence, to recall to memory the blue mountains of Shropshire and Wales.—(Prolonged applause.) With reference to the services so kindly alluded to, it little becomes me to speak. They have been described in words too flattering, but I hope you will excuse my vanity if I thank you as if I had deserved your praise.—(Cheers.) But of all the honours which I have received, the dearest to me have been the cheers which have greeted me this day in my native county.—(Loud cheers.) I have re turned a little worn, and tired from service, but I doubt not that, unless I am one of Pharaoh's lean king, your good old Shropshire ale will soon restore me.—(Great applause.) In allusion to the concluding sentence of your kind raldrest, I would here say, that I am not one of those who say that soldiers should not be married. I myself hold by the faith of the knight of old, who thought he was no knight at all till be had got a " ladye love."—(Cheers and laughter.) Ibe lieve that in the fair eyes of woman no soldier can see, reasons fur deserting his duty.—(Cheers.) Once more allow me to say that I feel most heartily your kindness. Believe me, I have made a speech, such as I was not prepared to make, and I thank you from my heart for the flattering reception you have given the this day.—(lmmense cheering.) The " loving cup" was then handed to the gallant Major be the Mayor's sword-bearer, and having pledged he Mayor— Major EDWARDES said—The cup I hold in my hand—unfortunately in my left hand, for I have lost WHEHIAS by a DECREE of the HIGH coma of CHANCERY, made in a Came WILDES V. cLIFTON, and bearing date the 19th day of December, 184 S, it is ordered that L be referred to RICHARD TURIN KINDERSLEY, (me of the iNfastes of the said Court, to inquire and state to the Court who was tie Heir-at-Law of CHARLES HIP PUFF, the Tes tater in the said Decree named, and ho was his Heir, according to ARKETS.

The annual general meeting and twenty-eighth election of the Printers' Pension Society took place yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to receive the report of the committee for the past year as to the state of the society's affairs, with an account of its finances, to appoint the officers for ge neral business, and to elect seven pensioners on the general funds, with the eighth on the poll as the Whittingham Pensioner ; Richard Taylor, Esq., F.R.S., in the chair. Mr. J. S. Homo; the secretary, read the report, which stated that the committee had great satisfac tion in stating, that no retrograde movement had taken place in the annual and life subscriptions to the society, although the annual dinner had not been so productive as usual, the amount then received being but 1401. It had for several years been the practice to invest the interest of the funded property; but they were apprehensive they should, in the forthcoming year require the same to meet the current expenses; but it was to be borne in mind that formerly nothing was funded but the interest of the life subscriptions.

The report concluded by stating that though it might appear barren of striking or exciting incidents, yet it contained sufficient indications to point out the abso lute necessity for unceasing exertions in the society's behalf. The balance-sheet showed that the balance i n hand from last year was 661. 15s. 4 d. ; annual sub scriptions and life donations, 449/.

Concerning the production of this drama there has been some stir in the theatrical world in conse quence of- the claim of proprietorship, in the' idea of adapting Goldsmith's chef d'oeuvre to the stage put in by Mr. Stirling Coyne, who in a letter 're cently published states that he sent in a drama founded on this subject, some two years since, to the Hays. market, at the time that Mr. W. Farren was stage. manager at that theatre ; that the drama was ac. cepted by Mr. Webster; that Mr. W. Farren recently requested him (Mr. Stirling Coyne) to send him the drama ; that Mr. Webster, on being applied to by Mr. Stirling Coyne on the subject, declared his in tention of producing it himself, whereupon Mr. Toni Taylor, the dramatist to the Strand, pro duced the present adap fation without consulting Mr. Stirling Coyne on the subject. The drams, which consists of detached scenes from Goldsmith' con nected together by a slender thread of original dialogue, was strongly case, excellently acted, and admirably put on the stage, but it is far too long. : A three act piece which is not over until half after ten o'clock must necessarily drag. In some portions if the scissors were freely used, more especially in the second act, so as to make the drama act within twa hours and a half, it would be an immense improvement and secure for it a run. The scenes presented on the stage are the introduction of Mr. Burchell and of Squire Thornhill, which affords to Mrs. Stirling, who performs Olivia, an opportunity of describing the rescue of Sophia from drowning by Burchell, and the stag hunt, which introduces the squire, an oppor tunity of which she was not slow to avail herself ; the introduction of Lady Blarney and Miss Amelia Caro lima Wilbehnina Skeggs to the Vicar's family, in which scene the " fudge " of Mr. Burchell, which is such a point in a novel, told but ineffectively ; the dance ; the fitting out Moses for the fair, a ta bleau vivant from Maclise, the destruction of the pipkin of cosmetics by the Vicar ; the fair, and the adventures of Moses, and the gross of green spec tacles, and of the Vicar and Ephraim Jenkinson ; the ab luction of Olivia ; the atfony of the Vicar's family; hvr rescue by Burch,ll; the scene of the Vicar in gaol, and the concluding see ne and denouement. The cast was exceedingly strong. Mr. W. Farren and Mrs. Glover as the Vicar and Mrs. Primrose stood out as the prominent characters of the group. The Vicar of Mr. W. Farren were the very perfection of good-natured, learned simplicity, the bonhommie and naivete of the Vicar were admirably rendered, and yet there was not the slightest touch of vulgarity about the impersonation, neither was there any attempt to place the eccentricities of the worthy Vicar in too broad a light. Mr. Farren bad thoroughly imbued himself with the spirit of Gdldsmith, acd gave such a representation of the Vicar as no other artist on the stage, except himself; could have given. In the scene in which he hears of the flight of Olivia, his acting was exquisitely pathetic. It was tragedy—pure tragedy—and that of the very highest order. Mrs. Glover as Mrs. Primrose was the very beau ideal of the warm-hearted, vain, fond, simple-minded wife of the Vicar, proud of her daughters, and of her gooseberry wine, and of her Padusoy and amber satin. There is a genial warmth about Mrs. Glover's Mrs. Primrose that =not fail to win all hearts. Mrs. Stirling acted Olivia delightfully—she made her the very creature of impulse, full of spirit, full of affection, full of earnestness ; as warm• hearted as guileless— her scenes with her father snore especially were beau tifully pathetic. Mr. Leigh Murray made a most effective Burchell, and Mr. W. Farren, jun , a deli ciously awkward, argumentative, and most green Moses, whits the Ephraim Jenkinson of Mr. H. Farren is by far the best thing that be has yet done, and shows the versatility of his talent to great advan tage—his quack doctor, his country bumpkin (the s( Her of the spectacles to Moses), and his old philo sopher, the comogonist who does the Vicar, are all essentially di‘Terent, and all equally good. The piece was much applauded throughout, and at the conclu sion all the principal artistes were called for. The house was crowded to excess in every part, and the success of the Vicar of Wakefield was complete. PilkingtOn, James Reynolds, John Power, Dr. Adair, R.

A dispatch was received at Lloyd's on Saturday, from the office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, enclosing copy of a notice, which has been eceived from her Majesty's Consul at Manilla, to mariners, respecting an alleged discovery of a new reef of rock or coral. - (Copy.) Discovery of a New Iteef.—The captain of the Mari veles writes from Ampanan, on the 29th September ult., that on passing Boulton the ship touched on a reef th at is not noticed in the English or Spanish charts, and is situated in latitude 5 deg. 30 nun., and lon g i tu d e 129 deg. 38 min. E. of Cadiz. This reef (off which the ship was got without any remarkable occurrence) runs to a considerable extent from E. to W. It is formed of roek and coral, is visible towards the west side, and accessible on the north side, with soundings of from tea to thirty fathoms, which increase to 115 fathoms at the climaxes of a ship's length. The extent referred to is of the west side, and the reef was visible at the distance of a cable and a half.

Evelyn was of his contemporaries, and the diary . which records the greatly above the vast majority incidents in his long extending over the gr. ater part of a century, is deservedly esteemed ere of the most interesting books in the language. He took part in the breaking out of tha civil war against Charles 1., and he lived to see William of Orange ascend the throne. Through the days of Strafford and Laud, to those of Saner( ft and Ken, he was the steady friend of moderation and pe ace in the English Church. He in terceded alike for the royalist and the regicide; he was the correspondent of Cowley, the patron of Jeremy Taylor, the associate and fellow-student cf Boyle; and over all the interval between Vandyck and Kneller, be tween the youth of Milton and the old age of DI yden, poetry and the arts found him an intelligent adviser, and a cordial friend. There are on the whole very few men of whom England has more reivon to be proud.

Novelty is still the order of the day at the Surrey Theatre, though the merit of the last production is not of that high order which characterised some of the former dramas which Mr. Creswick has presented to his patrons. True, these latter novelties were preceded by Mr. Justice Talfourd's classical tragedy of lon, rendered with the utmost elaboration and care that the resources of the house could command, and if the management can find no better subject for translation than the lachrymose affair called Hearts at Fault; or, Six Years More, it would better please the public, and more enhance its own reputation, if it eschewed the French school altogether, and con fined its exertions to the masterly works of some cf our modern dramatists. The company possesses all the elements necessary for realising the fanciful pic tures or tragical scenes which so largely abound in our national drama, and we are therefore less sur prised than delighted with the admirable style in which lon is produced and performed. The Adras tus of Mr. T. Mead is a fine piece of acting, worthy of a more aristocratic house ; nor is the youtaul lon of Mr. Creswick deficient in beauty, while the gentle Clemanthe finds an impassioned representative in Madame Ponisi. The scenery, too, is on a 'par with the acting, being highly finished and classically correct. Tte tragedy was followed last night by an original domestic drama, taken from the French, and bearing the title we have already mentioned. The incidents, founded upon the everlasting theme of love, are of a dull and flimsy description, and the dialogue pointless, weak, and insipid. The only one redeeming feature in it, which owed nothing to the translator, was the happy mode of " making up" which one or two of the actors displayed, but no artistic exertion in the world could have saved it ; and, though the intonations of Mr. Shepherd's voice, who sustained the role of the chief character, are not exactly adapted either to the serious or the sentimental, it is not to the acting, but to the inherent defects of the drama itself that its failure will have to be attributed. An audience after one disappointment is seldom in a humour to receive a second original effort with due impartiality ; but the farce of Adam Buff, also played for the first time, made up for the thficiency of the translation, and its humorous and ludicrous ecenes soon restored the equilibrium of the house. The success of the farce was hailed, probably, with more satisfaction than usual, because it again introduced to the world a dramatic author who has been too long ab sfaernetesfroamre i t r l r i e e sis s t t i a b g ly e, t.l la esd neh t.o ar t d h ' e s tickle the fancies of the audience droMll,ra.ndE;ellLentßi l to some of big Adam Buff, though not quite equal appellation of "screaming," . since they n th o e s y ma in il v d ar e i g a re bl e y . other labours, iffis a philosopher in his way, who one fine is nevertheless a clever piece of conceit of t he farce turns upo n th e mo p r u n r i s n e g , a w n a d k t e h s e up in t t o er fi e n st dlum him self minus a shirt a n d adventures of Adam while doomed to thread the streets and byeways of a metropolitan suburb shirt less, with his coat buttoned up to the chin.

Wid dicomb played the part of Adam with much spirit and animation, while little Rogers as a doctor's boy • was comic beyond measure, iutreducing in one of the scenes an amusing caricature of the " blood and thunder" school of cheap literature. The dialogue is smartly written, and at the close of the farce the curtain fell amidst considerable laughter and applause.
