CRITICAL OPINIONS.

" The editor, 'Jr. Harrison Ainsworth, Is evidently determined to
restore this periodical to its pristine celebrity. In order to do so be
has Kiri-minded himself with numerous able writers, as will be seen
by ' r_lodiva,' by Leigh Hunt ; 'Musings in my Study,' by Horace
Smith, Esq. ; The Adventures or a Slovi, Young Man,' by Dud-
ley Costello; Scope), Sponge's Sporting Tour,' by decidedly the
cleverest Sketcher of sporting men and things of the present day;
A Ball at Madame Octave's,' by Charles Hervey, Esq. ; and ' The
Lake gill Mountain District of South-Eastern Africa,' by W. Francis
Ainsworth. Esq."—Bell's Life.
" The New Monthly loses none of the spirit which It has latterly
diqnlayed. Indeed, we rather think it has improved. Somo of the
best writers of the day are among the contributors to this popular
periodical."—OLterver.

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

TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so per-
fectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the
originals by the closest observer ; THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE
COLOUR or DECAY, and will Le found very superior to any Teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of
roots or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth
that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and masti-
cation ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within re 'ch
of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale
possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.
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 amount
fur the property thus invested was 2031. 15s. 4d., the
total funded property at this time being 5,512/. 17s.

Young,

Mary Deney, William Dunn, Davi William Walker,
d 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 from last year was 661. 15s. 4d. ; annual sub-
scriptions and life donations, 449/. Bs. ; subscriptions
for anniversaries, 1241. 4s. 6d. ; receipts for amuse-
menu, 161. 155.; interest, '203/. 15'. 4d., making a
total f rebeipts of 9101. 185. 24. Amongst the items
of expenditure were, pensioners, 5561. 165. ; anniver-
sary dinner, 741. 4Q. 21; invested with the commis-
sioners for the reduction of the national debt, 2031.
15s. 4d., making a total expenditure of 8701. 6s. ;
leaving a balance in hand of 401. 123. 2d.
The report was received and ordered to be printei
and circulated.
Richard Taylor, Esq., was re-elected treasurer for
the ensuing year.
On the question being put as to a secretary for the
ensuing year, Mr. CATCHPOLE proposed Mr. James
Darkin, in opposition to their late secretary, Mr.

STR AND 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 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.
