and the almost unbroken lines of spectators , the great length of the cortege , both military and civilian , all tended to show how general were the expressions of sorrow , and the varied character of the procession testified how worthily and voluntarily the late baronet had been associated with others in public

institutions and organisations which have a prominent place in the history of this part of Yorkshire . The distance from Pye Nest to All Saints ' Chnrch is about two miles , and the procession occupied three-quarters of an hour in passing any given point . On reaching the Church each portion of the procession opened ont and lined the sides of the

road , the Yeomanry , hearse , and relatives passing forwards to the sacred edifice , followed by the othor moarners . The Rev . Canon Pigoa , vicar of Halifax ; the Rev . J . H . Warneford , vicar of All Saints '; and the Rev . E . Suepp , vicar of St . Paul's , King Cross ( where for many years the deceased baronet and his family had

worshipped ) met the coffin at the gates , and the Rev . J . H . Warneford repeated the opening sentences of the inpressive burial service of the Chnrch of Engl . nd . The coffin was carried on the shoulders of > eight men to the chancel , were it was placed iu the centre , and the sweet perfnme arising from the beautiful flowers in which it was

enshrouded , particularly of tho heliotrope , filled the sacred edifice . While the procession filed into the church , the organist , played the " Dead March" from Saul . A limited number of ladies and gentlemen had been admitted to the church before the arrival of the cortege ; clergy occupied seats reserved for them in the chancel .

The handsome little church was crowded to its utmost capacity , but , of course , a very large proportion of those who took p . jrt in the procession had to remain outside , including the military . The Rev . Canon Pigou read the 90 th Psalm , the clergy giving the responses ; and the lesson from 1 st Cor . xv . was read by the Rev . J . H .

Warneford . The Rev . E . Snepp , as vicar of the parish in which Sir Henry died , performed the nctual ceremony of interment , the concluding portion of the burial service being undertaken by the Rev . Canon Pigon , Tbe newly-made vault , which is situate at tha South-westerly portion of the churchyard , was a pretty scene , having

been tastefully decorated by Mr . Dorricott , gardener at Pye Nest . At the bottom was a large cross of primroses and white arabis , whilst the sides were lined with leaves of the laurel , holly , and fir , relieved with bunches of double daffodils . The top and edges of the tomb were also lined with moss , npon which were placed bunches of

primrose .. , wild daffodil .- * , * iud blooms of the ih -do lendroti . In the centre of ihe western sides of .. ht- * cavity was also si large cos ., composed of double d . ( Tbdil . * . The body wns enclosed in a shell of stained pitch pine , will , stron _ rout . fr case of polished English oak , ami the bras * , mountings were of au elaborate description . Tho plate bore the following inscription :

taining within a circle and double triangle of violet cinerarias having the simple gardeni _ in tho centre . Another , a wreath of acacia , was from the brethren of the Lodge of Probity , No . 61 , " iu token of heartfelt sympathy with Lady Edwards and family . " The eight Leeds Lodges also sent a wreath . The VV . M ., Officers , Past Musters , and brethren of the Aire aid Calder Lodge ( Goole ) of Free

and Accepted Masous sent a wreath of white flowers , having the initial " E . " in blno hyacinths , "in token of sorrowing sympathy with Lady Edwards and family . " Affectionate references were made to tho decease of our esteemed brother at the West Riding Court on Saturday , and at the parish churches in various parts of the Weat Riding on Sunday , similar expressions beiug made at the Easter

vestry meetings aud the Halifax Chamber of Commerce . We understand that Bro . Wm . Day Keyworth jun ., of London and Hull ( the sculptor of the recumbent statue of the late Archdeacon Musgrave iu the Halifax Parish Church ) , has taken a very successful cast of the features of the late Sir Henry Edwards , Bart . This was done shortly after death .

The Theatres, &C.

THE THEATRES , & c .

—«» . 0 _ —¦—Princess ' s . —Accustomed as Mr . Wilson Barrett must be to the intoxicating excitement of a triumphant "first night , " even his well-trained nerves must have been strangely thrilled by tho enthusiastic reception given to " Clito , " the new tragedy of which ha and Mr . Sydney Grundy are the happy parents . Those who had

been present on the first nights of " The Lights o London , " The Silver King , " and "Claudian" might have supposed that the delight of the audience could rise to no higher crescendo , but all former welcomes were certainly outdone on Saturday last , when each descending act was followed by ever-increasingrecalls . At the close of the exciting scene at the end of Act IV ., the audience

seemed determined to bring on Mr . Grundy , bat he as resolutely refused to appear , preferring not to tako his ovation until the whole of his elaborate work had been set forth . Then , as a blushing young nineteenth centurian , he was led forward , as it were , by a graceful embodiment of the Fourth B . C ., in the person of Mr . Wilson Barrett . The story of " Clito " is extremely simple and

human ; a story that might thrill the hearts of men and women , irrespective of its mise-en-scSne or local colour . A young man of high ambition and generous heart is tricked into loving a worthless woman , and by thia fatal infatuation finds hope , and life , and hononr all hopelessly wrecked . Mr . Barrett gives a most sympathetic and manly portrait of the hero—graceful , and with that charm of

personal beauty befitting a young Athenian . In his scenes of passion he rises to piercing eloquence—electrifying the house . Miss Eastlake , as Helle , the wicked enchantress , proved a startling revelation , even to those who have most believed in her powers . In her cynical triumph in evil , iu the mockery of her laughter , there was a demoniac ring , though always the fascination of her

loveliness gave a more poignant intention to her pitiless intent . Miss EeiS-lake paints the courtezan , not with the false sentiment of the Damo Aux Camelias , bat with the unrelenting touch of the moralist who would show ua the hateful thing hidden beneath the glamour of false beauty ; she seizes the anticipations of the authors , and , fearlessly trusting herself to the guidance of tragic passion , she

dares to give such a portrait of a lost soul glorying in evil as tha stage has rarely seen . Then , when she has brought death and ruin on her dupes , ancl she must fly for her life , Miss Eastlake shows us how this mocking Messalina bocomes as abject as she has been arrogant , and cringes at the feet of Clito for " lifo ; ouly a little life . " All the parts in the piece are adequately filled , but

especially characteristic is the acting of Mr . Willard , as the reckless voluptuary , with silken draperies and jewelled hair . Only just now and again his delivery of the blank verse showed a tendency to colloqui . 1 carelessness , but he made of a small pacta most important feature in the picture . Bliss Garcie Coote was charming iu the small part of Clito'a foster-sister . Wo may expect much from this young

lady's sincerity and grace of method . Toe scenery is very tine , but not laboured to make liaes in the advertisements . Each act has one scene , much to the advantage of the action , which thus smoothly passes without breaking the attention of tho spectators by revolving scenery and tho passes which go to destroy stage illusion . The

pictures ot Athenian interiors are exquisite in then * artistic completeness . The burning incense , the falling fountain .,, the roses , and soft music of lutes , in Hello ' s chamber—this picture would alone ••••pay a visit to tho theatre . The acting , the m .. uutni _ r , the plot , the Oiilogne are all so admirable thnt we can only s ly it will doubtless be long bet - ire so good a play can be given us by a modern author .
