THE WAFER WITCH, BY MR. COOPER.-
The public, the novel-loving portion of it at least, will be
delighted to bear that the great transatlantic novelist has
in preparation a New Tale of the Sea under the above
remarkable title. Nothing has yet transpired as to the
OA of the story, but as the scene is the ocean, a first-rate
work may be expected, since our author's home may be
said to be on the Wate►s.

THE ENRAGED AUTHOR.—At One Of the
Parisian theatres, a writer of little or no real pretensions
to talent, had, by means of flattery and intrigue, obtained
the acceptance of a piece, where others of sterling worth
had been rejected.' On the night of performance the piece
was assailed with hisses from all parts of the house, whereat
the enraged author slashed on to the stage, and throwing
his hat into the pit, dared the' most valiant to bring it to
him. A young gentleman took it up, and was about 10
present it, when he was interrupted by a wag, who coolly
observed, "Stop, Sir, what would be the use of returning
the man his hat, when ho has evidently lost his head ?"

Advicos haie been received that the Liverpno
and Ma►nchearer Rail-road Company are forthwith to com-
mence the Rail-road between Waterford and Limerick.—
Dublin Paper.

In the course of the present month, « Port-
man Market," Edgware-road, will be opened for the sale
of hay and straw, on Moulay, Wednesday, Friday, and
Saturday, in every week, under the Act of Parliament.
In order to obviate the inconveniences from exposure of
the hay to the rain and atm, substantial sheds have been
erected, and other accommodations provided for the farmer
and salesman. The proposed fruit, vegetable, and general
market, adjoining, and a market for pigs, are in prepara.
tion, and will be opened as soon after the hay•rnarket as
the necessary arrangements will allow.

PA ItLIAM EN TA HY BON MOT.-Sir HENRY
CAVENDISH, a Member of the Irish House of Cossimons,
w♦s so expert at short-hand, that he was correct even to
a word, and frequently, during important debates, sent
the most remarkable speeches to the Castle, to gratify the
solicitude of the Impatient Viceroy. His Excellency,
after a warm debate (during which Sir florrur seceded
from the Devonshire party), asked Sir HERCULES LAN*
Ramis if Sir flexor had taken notes that night? The
Baronet, affecting not to understand the tenor of his Ex-
cellency's question, pleasantly replied that be believed Sir
flexor had taken either notes or ready money, but be
could not exactly inform his Excellency which. Sir
flexor went into office immediately after.

Various arrangements have been whispered
about during the week relative to certain alterations and
reductions which are about to take place in the pay of
naval and military officers. Some say that each indivi-
dual is to give up the amount of one day's pay in the
year; others, that this reduction is to be quarterly. With
regard to any such alteration in the navy and army, we
know nothing; but we believe that a reduction to a much
more serious extent will be made in the salaries of all offi-
cers in every civil department under Government. This
reduction, we have reason to think, will amount to one
day's pay weekly, being about 14i per cent., or 1-7th
part of their whole salary. We are not aware that there
is to be any distinction as to the rate of deduction, de-
raiding on the amount of salary received by the senior or
Junior members of these departments, as we believe it is
the present intention, whether the salary be 1,000!. or
50!., that the deduction shall in either case be at the rate
of RI per rent. We trust, however, that we are niis-
taken in tbli reripeet, and that some further modification
will yet take place, before the plan shall be definitely
settled ; and we hope.to lee the junior officers, whose sa-
laries arc barely sufficient to enable them to subsist, will
not be subject to a deduction which would be to them of
very serious consequence, and that no salary under 1601.
will be touched. With regard to the senior officer's, if the
system be universal we scarcely think we have any right
to complain, when we consider that the arrangement it in
accordance with the voice of the country, whose general
cry is for economy and retrencliment.—Portimouth Her.

Dovica, OCT. 10.—A quantity of smuggled
goads was seised last night by the Coast Blockade. While
in the act of being hauled up the Cliff the rope broke, and
let the articles—tobacco and silk—down into the jaws of
