MR. COOPER.
It is with sensations <>f no ordinary kind
that we announce the appearance, at the
Federal Street Theatre this evenine of
our old favorite tragedian COOP ER.—
We have no room to say even a small por
tion of what we wish to utter on the oc
casion. Annexed is an Address which
Mr. C. prepared to pronounce to the au
dience, but which he did not dare t<»
trust himself to deliver, knowing, should
lie attempt it, that he would be no actor
then.
To Mr. J. T. Buckingham.
Dear Sir,—It was my intention to
have addressed the audience this evening
—but in puting my thoughts to paper, I
.soon found that, in refering to them, and
giving them utterance on the stage I
should do much to incapaciate myself for
my evening’s undertaking, and increase
the necessity of the indulgence which it
n was my object to obtain. Under these
circumstances, 1 have to request you to
publish the enclosed, and oblige vour’s
sincerely. THOS. A. COOPER
TO THE PUBLIC.
In leaving America a few months ago, I
was desirous of taking my personal leave
of my friends and patrons in Boston, but
circumstances, unnecessary to detail, con
spired to prevent it. I had the honor of
addressing a few words on that occassion
from tin; stage in New York, which were
with a very trifling exception, not parti
culafly applicable to die inhabitants of
that city, but referred generally to all my
friends in America. In adverting now to
what I then said, I shall assume that my
language was addressed to you. I told
you I was about to leave the country of
my adoption, to visit the land of my na
tivily ; whether for weal or for wo wa
to be deiermined : and I appealed to mv
long public service, commenced thirty
years ago and continued with unvarying
success, as §onje proof of desei t, and ven
tured to hope, that on m v return at some
future period, die recollection of past
time would cause you to sympathise with
my feelings, and participate in some de
gree in the pleasure and joy which would-
most certainly agitate me. Events have
first air I breathed, as a man, was on A-
nerican ground. From the time, now
thirty years since, that I swore allegiance
to the American government and eonsti-
mtion, I have always considered and
called myself.an American, whenever a
proper occasion called upon me to do so.
Both here and in Europe, when on differ
ent occasions I have been abroad, I have
never travelled without an American pass
port in my pocket. Ontfl grounds, this
night, I request your indulgence. In Lon
don sentence of death haSpbeen passed up
on my execution. My body is exempt
ed from that sentence, and a kind of Irish
commutation has taken place. I am ban
ished home. I request your present, in
dulgence with a hope that in the course
of my short engagement, I may be able to
satisfy you that the soil is not utterly blast
ed—but still capable of producing fruit
not unworthy of your acceptance.
T. A. COOPER.
From the Merchants’ Te egraph,
since taken place, which, though they do
not in fho least diminish (hat hope and ex
pectation, render more imperiously neces
sary unequivocal marks of their fulfilment
Since my landing in Boston, and at the
present moment, those signs are too appa
rent to be mistaken, and, to the joy that
I feel at once more meeting you, I have
a snperadded sentiment of the warmest
gratitude for your kindness. When I
make bold to tell you explicitly, that I
did not deserve the indignity, with which
1 was treated on the occasion of my ap
pearing in the Drury Lane Theatre last
December, I am confident of your belief
for two reasons ; my character is general
ly well known to you all, that you will not
suspect me of falsehood ; and secondly,
my word must find corroboration in your
understandings, for v®u would insult them
and the good sense of your fathers to be
lieve, that, for more than twenty years,
you have been heaping favors upon a rank,
impudent, and incapable imposter. The
treatment I met with, could only be mer
ited by such a one. Pity for my incapa
city would have attended an ill-judged at
tempt to gain the critical favor of a Lon
don audience ; a contemptuous dismissal
from their bar of taste might be merited
by an impudent and foiward person in
sisting upon a right to their favor ; none
but a felonious impostor del ected and un
masked in attempts to steal away their un
derstandings, could deserve the his
sings and hootings that pursued me almost
throughout, and, at the conclusion, the
joyful shouts and exultations that rung
over me as over a prostrated etmmy, Ol
course I made tie second attempt. The
doing so, if not absolutely admitting the
justice of the sentence as far as it went,
would have been virtually acknowledging
the legitimacy of the tribunal; and most
assurely that cannot be a legitimate criti
cal tribunal, which could permit extrane
ous causes to influence its awards—or
treat an incapable or even a contemptible
effort as the act of a wicked £nd atrocious
foe. I have spoken of your favors long
past, of the kindness that has attended my
return but “beggar that I am,” I have to
crave something more irom you, your in
dulgence. Yes, your patient indulgence;
for vetaran as I am in the profession, and
familiar in the character I am about to as
sume, my situation is a very new one.
To do justice to himself, an actor’s mind
must be free from any personal feelings
so that his whole force may be concentra
ted jn one single point. All co-operating
circumstances that at this moment sur
round one, prevent that desirable state of
raiud ; I therefore, absolutely, and with-
uut affectatiun, request your indulgence
for my deficiency. I request it in recol
lection of times gone by ; I request it as
a countryman ; I hope to be permitted to
call myself so, and not in flattery. The
Execution at Buenos Ayres.—The
criminal who was now about to suffer
had murdered his friend, while sleeping
it his friend’s rancho, and had threatened
iiis wife with the same fate, unless she re
igned herself to his will; but she escap
ed to Buenos Ayres, and informed a-
gainst the villain, who was shortly ..after
wards arrested, found guilty, and, being
known to have committed several mur
ders previously, he was immediately sen
tenced to death. With this knowledge
of his brutality, I proceded to the Plaza
de Toros, a square of about two hundred
yards on each side, in which the bull
fights were formerly exhibited. An up
right post, with a small flat piece of board
projecting from it for a seat, was fixed in
to flie ground,one yard from the wall; round
this the militia formed a semi-circle, at
the distance of twenty yards; three mili
tary bands were also present, playing so
lemn music. In a short time a movement
among the soldiers announced the com
mencement of the fatal ceremony, and
we proceded towards the gates of the
guard-house on the uorth side of the pia-
za where the criminal was confined.—
Immediately that the gates were opened,
we heard the most horrid yells proceding
from the prison; and in a few minutes we
saw the culprit, carried by six soldiers
with his eyes bandaged and his bands
tied behind him, screaming and endea
vouring to extricate himself from their
hold by the most frantic struggles ; I could
not help feeling some pity for his agonies,
but that feeling was convened into disgust,
when I reflerted on his crimes, and ihe
bodily suffering which he had not hesita
ted to inflict upon others who were, his
UIIO fiend iug victim*. He continued these
veils and struggles until tiie soldiers had
carried him to the stake. Here they
seated him on the flat piece of wood, and
fastened hmi to the unriglit post with strips
of hide; a priest then approached, and,
ifler praying to him for a fetv minutes,
reiired;, when nine soldiers advanced to
it Din two yards of the criminal. At the
word of command they cocked their pie
ces ; up to this moment he appeared to
have lost all sense; he had sat unmoved,
and did not utter a groan; but when the
deadly sound of cocking the guns s:ruck
bis ear, a convulsive movement visibly
shook his frame, and he uttered a final
shriek. On tiie further signal from the
officer the soldiers discharged their mus
kets into his head and breas*; and in an
instant his body hung lifeless from the
post to which it was tied. The soldiers
immediately afterwards returned to their
quarters, preceded by the band, playing a
lively tune as they left the ground; the
lookers on who assembled to witness the
scene retired with them, and ihe body
was laid on the ground by the public gaol-
who stripped it of its clothes. The
balls had passed through the head and
heart, and had entered the wall behind.—
The sufferer was a dark mulatto, about
six feet high, and of a very muscular
frame; his features were regular,, and ra
ther pleasing; the wounds were only visi
ble on close inspection, and he lay as if
in a pleasant sleep, forming « striking
contrast with his previous looks of hor
ror. A hearse, drawn by two mules, dri
ven bv a postilhou, who was decorated
with a high cocked hat and a pair of long
ack boots, presently came up at full gal
lop. Into this hearse (an open car) the
Promise.—The fulness of professioa,
and the hollowness of performance, the
highness of expectation created, and the
ineagreuess of results obtained, character
ized the age of Timon of Athens as “ the
Very age of promise.”
The alternate sycophancy and gibes of
the tongue, as riches, and office and
splendor, accordjaany or desert us, are no
less proverbial in our age; and there are
few who cannot designate a period in
their history, when the smiles and praises
of men waited on them, either for their
fortune or their talents, while riches add
ed to their influence, or talents to their
fame ; few, who, when their riches were
dissipated by the fraud of others, or the
caprices of fortune, and their talents were
obscured by retirement, or rendered use
less by inactivity,_who are not so many
witnesses, that lie who is rising into noticb
is worshipped by all; when at the zenith
of prosperity feared by all; and when sup
posed to be descending from the eminence
which he had attained, is neglected, if not
censured and contemned by all; and this
too, not from any demerit of his own,
greater than accompanied his ascent to
distinction, but it would seem, from an in
nate propensity to bring down to our lev
el all who are exalted above us, although
we may have assisted in t bat exaltation,
and may have sung paeans to the risen fa
vorite. History is full of parallel cases, in
every walk of hfe. Ambition will pull
down all who obstructs its passage up to
power, and trample on all that are strug
gling to rise ; jealousy will attack our ri
vals, and envy will slander them. Ava
rice will rob, and detraction poison them.
Malevolence will misconstrue their mo
tives, and rage convert their virtues into
vices; and all this after promises of
friendship and service, as solemn at their
utterance, as they are false in their iutent,
and faithless in their performance.
Such is the condition of man. But
credulity is the concomitant of honesty,
and as the majority are deceived, the ma
jority are honest; and society (though in
dicative of much personal suffering and
great wrongs) exhibits more virtue than is
generall y believed. If such is the state
of society, we are called upon for the ex
ercise of fortitude and patience, commen
surate with our sufferings and disappoint
ments, and a perseverance co-extensive
as our obstructions, unwavering as our
strongest faith, buoyant ns our newest
hope. We may lament what we cannot
remedy, but should endeavour to prevent
the recurrence of that to others, which we
ourselves have deprecated, remembering
the sureness of promise is the basis of en
joyment, while its faithlessness and in
fraction saps the tree of terrestrial happi
ness at its very root. Thase remarks may
be applied to the common business of
life with equal force, for great misfor
tunes and disappointment, like great
crimes, not unfrequent'.y originate in small
ones; ihe broken promise of one may
produce that in others, and the practice
once commenced may grow into a habit,
destructive alike to him who makes and
him who breaks.

Triumph of Art.— Great improvement
in Printing, li is stated in the limes that
that paper is now printed with an approv
ed machine, the invention of Mr Charles
Applegeih, which strikes off the astonish
ing number of four thousand copies au
hour, or seventy copies a minute. This
speed is twenty times greater than could
be attained with the kind of press in use a
dozen years ago ; for with that press, a
paper the size of the Times could not
have been worked on one side only, at the
rate of more than four hundred impress
ions in an hour, that is two hundred an
hour on both sides.
It would be curious to make a computa
tion. If the increased power given to
man by the press for the circulation of
knowledge, and though this cannot be
done without accuracy, we may form
some idea of it from the calculating the
saving of human labor produced by' print
ing the Times instead of writing out the
copies by au amanuensis. To write out
the contents of one ol’its numbers with a
pen, would occupy au amanuensis six days;

IHE STORE TO LET, till the 1st October

A New way of taking News-papers.—
A few mornings since, a queer looking
fellow from some part of Vermont, the
expression of whose face resembled the
frosty side of a canal boat, came into our
office and inquired it the “Troy Budget
was printed here.” On being answered
in the affirmative, he said he “had been
taking the Sentinel some time, but had
got kinder broke down, and believed be
would’nt take it no longer ; he thought he
should rather take the Budget.” He was
assured that his name would be cheer
fully added to’ our list of subscribers, pro
vided he paid in advance—a rule which
we adhere towards ali strangers. The
fellow looked as if he had been frost bit
ten. After divers contortions of the face,
and two or three attempts to evade our
terms, he made us the following proposi
tion : “ You don't never let people take
your paper on conimision, do you ?”
[Troy Budget,
an i*rdinary hand, the contents of that
newspaper, would cost twelve times ns
much as the paper that is used for printing
i t; the great bulk of this paper would
make it very inconvenient to read, and
almost impossible to circulate the journal.
The importance of compression then is
obvious, aud if, for the sake of it, the am
anuensis should be obliged to compress
his writing into the same space as the
printing, supposing this possible, it would
take at least four times as long to perform
his task.
To write out in this way the Times
