The whole illustrated by numerous cases, which will be found to embrace every possible form of Stricture and its consequences, together with appropriate means of cure. By F. B. COURTENAY, Those who are labouring under long-protracted stricture, with all its accompanying miseries, will find detailed in this work modes of treatment adapted to such cases, the efficacy and superiority of which have been tested by repeated practice; whilst these who are suffering.under the less severe forms of the disease may find the means of prompt relief, and at the same time such information as will protect them from becoming the victims of unskilful and violent treatment—the mainspring of severe and complicated ob structions of the urinary canal. " The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, and de mands all the prudence, science, and skill of a master.

EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of GRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR. la you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 1 bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn front aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is h,ghly appreciated for its manifold ♦irtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herbary, Iligheate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatie Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The 11 s. size contains four of the 45. A few of its many viitues, as thousands can prove, are published In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. ' Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Iteadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of care being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But ander this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

It had for several years been the practice t o i nvest t h e i nteres t of the fund e d p roper t y; but they w ere a pp re hensive they should, in the forthc om i ng year require the same t o meet the c urren t expen ses; but it was t o b e borne in mind that formerly nothing was funded but the interest of the life subscriptions. The amount for the property thus invested was 2031. 15s. 44., the total funded property at this time being 5,512/. 17s. 3d. During the year eight pensioners had died, viz., John Towns; Augusta Young, William Walker, Mary Deney, William Dunn, David Charles Stewart, and Hannah Knight, the relief received from the society averaging from one to twenty-one years, the number of pensioners being reduced to 47, which with this day's election would be again raised to 54. 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 in hand s from last year was 661. 15s. 4d.; annual sub scriptions and life donations, 4491. Bs. ; subscriptions with the for anniversaries, 1241. 4s. 6d.; receipts f or amuse ment., 161. 15s. ; interest, '203/. 151. ;maankniinvgera. total of receipts of 9101. 18s. 2 d.

On the question being put as to a secretary for the ensuing year, Mr. CATcaFOLE proposed Mr. James Darkin, in opposition to their late secretary, Mr. Hodson. Upon the question being put to the meeting, the CHAIRMAN declared the election to have fallen upon Mr. DArkin, upon whioh Mr. Nod demanded A poll, which will be taken at such time and place as may be appointed by the committee. The appoint ment of a collector will also then be determined. The other officers were then appointed. The result of the poll for pensioners was then an nounced, when the elected were:—Robert Johnson, George Westray, George Green, Esther Roberts, Sophia Whittsker, Grace Cranwell, and Frances Nicholls. Sirah Ellis was elected to the Whitting ham Pension. The meeting then dissolved. MAJOR EDWARDES IN SHROPSHIRE: The announcement cf 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 last 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. On 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-ball, and, preceded by a hand, 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 this your native land, after a career so honourable to yourself, so deeply gratifying to your friends, so beneficial to the interest 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 occapy your attention; for, sir, we do not forget that to the influence and exertion of one of your ancestors, who became a burgess just three centuries ago, Shrewsbury is indebted for that royal grant from the pious Edward which established our excellent foundation, the Free Grammar School; others of your predecessors have filled the highest honours of this town and county, and also represented 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 appree'ated in this country, it has been viewed with peculiar gratifica tion 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 blessing., of peace, and the extension and due apprecia tion of the benefits of British rule in her eastern posies sions. Early selected as an &de de-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 was, however, on the plains of Moulton, nearly 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 Ssctooz - tm, opportunities were afforded of developing your eminent talents as a soldier, and whtre, 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 undaed courage and resolution, and thereby evincing a conlideace most flat terite, 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 him 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 Hardinge, '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 emclude 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 t 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 EDWABDES 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 lends—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 Indio, 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 hheerceonc say, concluding I a e honours which I have received , the dearest to me have been the cheers which have g r eeted me this day in my native county. — (Loud cheers.) I have re turned a little worn and tired from service, but I doubt 3 l s n i e w o n o o u t f o l d t Pharaoh's l u lean t kine, your good old Shropshire ale will soon restore nortetahtaat,p kind npulauless d e s I am .a)ldnreas sentence lGe of your 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 he had got a " ladye love."—(Cheers and laughter.) I be lieve that in the fair eyes of woman no soldier can see, reasons for 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 by the Mayor's sword-bearer, and having pledged the. Mayo— r EDWARDES said—The Clip I hold in my hand---unfortunately in my left band, for I have lost the use of my right—is, as I have just been told by my cousin (Mr. Smitheman Edwardes), a present to your corporation from the great Lord Clive.— (Cheers.) I was ashamed to reply to the allusions made by Mr. Peele in his address referring to myself; but I am proud I am from the same county as Lord Clive—(Cheers) —and that the few laurels which I have won have been gained in the same field in which he fought and conquered.—(Cheers) In conclusion, Shropshire ladies and Shropshire men, I drink good health and happiness to each and all of you.— (Cheers.) After cheers for the Queen, the Mayor, Ste., were given, the proceedings terminated, and Major Ed wardes drove off in a carriage with his relatives.

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 leceived 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 Reef.—The captain of the Mari voles writes from Ampanan, on the 29th September ult., that on passing Boulton the ship touched on a reef that is not noticed in the English or Spanish charts, and is situated in latitude 5 deg. 39 mm., and longitude 129 deg. 38 min. E. of Cadiz. This reef (off which the ship was got without any remarkable occuirence) 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 ten to thirty fathoms, which increase to 115 fathoms at the distance cf a ship's length. The extent referred to is of the west side, and the reef was visible as the distance of a cable and a half. THE EVELYN: DIARY AND I CORRESPONDENCE NEW EDITION.—We rejoice, says the Examiner, t welcome this beautiful and compact edition of "Evelyn. " It is intended as a comp an ion to the recent edition of " Pepys," and presents many similar clai ms to in terest and notice. Evelyn was greatly above the vast ma jority of his contemporaries, and the diary which records the incidents in his long lifo, extending over the grt ater part of a century, is deservedly esteemed one c.f the most interesting books in the language. He took part in the breaking out of the civil war against Charles 1., and he lived to see William of Orange aseend the throne. Through the days of Strafford and Laud, to those of Sancroft and Ken, he was the steady friend of moderation and peace in the English Church. He in terceded alike for the royalist and the regicide; he was tho correspondent of Cowley, the patron of Jeremy Taylor, the associate and fellow-student of Boyle; and over all the interval between Vandyck and Kneller, be tween the youth of Milton and the old age of Dryden, poetry and the arts found bim an intelligent adviser, and a cord ia l friend. There are on the whole very few men of whom England has more reason to be proud. He stands among the first in the list of " Gentlemen," THE TEA TRADF, MARCH 4.—The deliveries of tea in London last week were 503,1891 b., being nearly as large al in the prteedieg week. 'she market is quiet. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The management of this theatre has issued a list of the artists who are engaged to appear during th e forthcoming season. Sontag is to take the lead, in onjunction with Parodi, the former appearing is several of the Grisi parts, besides others which have not been heard in this country. Madame Giuliani returns, and an engagement has been entered into with Miss Catherine Hayes. Debutantes of the names of Luciola, Malvini, Aldoni, and Bertrand, are promised, and " answers are hourly exped i ted to offers made" to others. The tenors are Gardoni and Cslzolari, enforced by Mr. Sims Reeves. A new artist of the name of Michell is also men tioned. The basses are Lablache, Belletti, Coletti, F. Lablache, and a Signor Lorenzo, whose "power" is spoken of with eulogy. The orchestra has been "re-modelled," and Mr. Balfe resumes the office of conductor. The chorn4 singers are placed under the governance of Signor F. Ronconi. Of the operas to be performed we have already given a list gleaned from the official document. The old reputation of the ballet department will be maintained. Carlotta Grisi and Marie Taglioni will open the sensor, Lellowed by Rosati and a Madlle. Amelia Ferrari. The Lamle dancers are Paul Taglioni, S. Leon, and Charles. The first performance will take place on Saturday next, when Parodi will appear in the character of Medea. A new ballet, entitled Les Metamorphoses, is announced to be brought out on the same evening. STRAND THEATRE. A new three act drama, founded on and entitled the Vicar of Wakefield, was produced here last even ing. 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 dceuvre 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 Hay 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 au. Tom Taylor, the dramatist to the Strand, pro. duced the present adap talon without consulting Mr. Stirling Coyne on the subject. The drama, which consists of detached scenes from Goldsmith cone nected together by a slender thread of original dialogue, was strongly cast, 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 tea o'clock must ne cessar il y d rag. I n same portions if the scissors were freely used, more especially in the second act, so as to make the drama act within two 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 lina Wilbelmina Skeggs to the,Vicar's family, in which scene the " fudge " of Mr. Burchell, which is such 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 abduction of Olivia ; the agony of the Vicar's family.; her rescue by Burchell ; the scene of the Vicar in gaol, and the concluding scene 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, nei!her was there any attempt to place the eccentricities of the worthy Vicar in too broad a light. Mr. Farren had thoroughly imbued himself with the spirit of Goldsmith, and 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 cannot fail to win all heart.. 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 more especially were beau tifully pathetic. Mr. Leigh Murray made a most effective Burchell, and Mr. W. Farren, jun , a deli ciously awkwart, argumentative, and most green Moses, while the Ephraim Jenkinson of Mr. H. Farren is by far the best thing that he has yet done, and shows the versatility of his talent to great advan tage—his quack doctor, his country bumpkin (the seller of the spectacles to Moses), and his old philo sopher, the cosmogonist who does the Vicar, are all essentially different, 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. SURREY THEATRE. 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 Afore, 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 t f 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 Adra‘- tus of Mr. T. Mead is a fine piece of acting, worthy of a more aristocratic house ; nor is the ,youteful 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. Tse 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, wea k, and eak, 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 nit to the acting, but to the inherent defects of the drama itself that its failure will have to be attributed. A n au di ence a f ter one disappointment is seldom i n a h umour 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 deficiency of the translation, and its humorous and ludi crous ecenes soon restore d t h e 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 sent from the stage. Mr. E. L. B lanehard , s farces are irresistibly droll, and . well entitled to the invariably tickle ppe appellation a t t h io e n fan of cie ' s ' socfretshmein audience e nc i since c e n n e theysma ll all degree. Adam Buff, though not quite equal to some of his other labours, is nevertheless a clever piece of conceit Adam Buff is a philosopher in his way, who one fine morning wakes up to find himself minus a shirt and a purse, and the interest of' the farce turns upon the 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. Many are the excuses he has to make for the absence of a shirt collar, but good fortune at len g th overtakes him , and he is invited to dine at the h ouse o f a credulous' o ld gentleman, where a dark su s pi c i on o f his having fingered his host ' s silver spoon s l ea d s to the discovery of his nakedness and the recovery of a shirt. Wid dicomb played the part of Adam Kith much spirit and animation, while little Rogers as a doctor's boy was comic beyond measure, iutrod •of the scenes in one scenes u amusing car i cature of the " blood an d 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. THE BRAZILS.—LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.-- T r ia the United States we have intelligence from Rio de Janeiro the 7th, and from Pernambuco to the 22d of January. The Brazilian Legislature commenced its sitting on the Ist of January, the Emperor opening it in person.

A provisional tr ea t y had been formed between Paraguay and the Argentine Confederation. Pernambuco advises of the 22:d of January report—Sugar, white , 1,950 to 2,650; brown, 1,540 to 1,600 ; bides, 100. Wiping ab uutiao , change 9111411d9P A"'
