      In November will appear the " Tomahawk Almanack , for 1868 . " This will prove no joke but a " stern " reality .

      The Following " Affair" Has Shaken Londo...

      The following " affair" has shaken London to its very foundations this week . It is whispered that the " Censor " of the Evening Star is a certain Mr . Friswell . It is said that Mr . Punch has called the "Censor" of tia & Evening Star , a " silly and vulgar person , " and it is known that Tomahawk has corroborated the words of his friend , Mr . Punch , in every particular !

      The Authorities And Officers Of Voluntee...

      The authorities and officers of Volunteer Rifle Corps seem equally puzzled what to do with the rifles of the Volunteers . Why do they not follow the glorious example set by a certain Corps at Sheffield , during some riots there two or three years ago , who marched out to a lonely spot near the town , in the dead of night , and buried their rifles in a pit ( having previously unscrewed the nipples ) , in order that they might not fall into the hands of the rioters ? This showed ingenuity , combined with true courage .

      The Turf Is Evidently Recognized Now As ...

      The Turf is evidently recognized now as a regular profession , the duties of which must take precedence of any other public dvities . The House of Commons , as we know , always adjourns over the Derby day y but we did not know that attendance at Newmarket was to be held a

      sufficient reason for the non-attendance of a prosecutor in a case of felony , even wken all the witnesses on both sides were ready to appear . But it seems it is so , for last week the trial of the man accused of stealing the Marquis of Hastings's jewels was postponed , because the noble Lci 141 arcmuiie ousiness

      xv .. u : > anu . j . vj .. s . s were aecamea uy important ; nommg more or less than the Crcsarewitch . Supposing the prisoner should ultimately be acquitted , we wonder whether an action will lie against the prosecutor for frivolous imprisonment . Such an action would hardly lie since it would be too near the truth .

      It is an III Wind , & c . —We hear that some of the clerks in the War Office , who happen to bear Irish names , have received warning anonymous them letters that , calling they will on surel them y be to called resign to their account appointments if they persist , and 1 G in overnment serving an clerks English , without Queen . overburdening How to reduce the the pension existing -list , number is a pro of - 1 blem which , as yet , no Chancellor of the Exchequer has been able to s solve .

      Of course ! You naturally imagine we are going to have a chat about the Circe Abomination and its exposure .

We have all read the description in some journal or another , of its comfort , its elegance , and its improvements . If you have a decided theatrical taste , giving you a thirst for those dress rehearsals known as first nights , you have already applied for a stall , and will be able to judge for yourself of the house and the performances . Exactly so : by-the-way , what are the performances ? Mr . Alfred Wigan has been very careful in keeping secret for some time the pieces he proposes to produce ; but he has been good enough to throw a sop to public impatience for the last week or so , by the announcement of " a new romantic drama .

      hallucination that their own beam is one of light , will be -whispering j among themselves the names of Dugue , Sejour , or Dumas , at the mention of a romantic drama . But this is uncharitable and invidious now ; for have we not a Boucicault , a Tom Taylor , or a Charles Reade , who can give us an original drama at a moment ' s notice ? Have not these gentlemen added their names—nay , headed the list of British dramatic authors , who , sick at heart at the wholesale plundering committed by small play-wrights on the pockets and brains of French and German dramatists , have at last protested against the illicit fattening of the whole vulture tribe ? But by this time , you know , also , that the romantic drama is called White Lies , or the Dozible Marriage , and is from the original and talented pen of Mr . Charles Reade—Mr .

But this time malignant envy will be foiled , for Mr . Reade ' s play is taken from Mr . Reade's novel , which was published under the title White Lies , in a penny weekly publication years back .
