Cooke. The best creature in the world, sir-I know him well, and love him much, sir-and can't bear to see him trampled on by those damn'd rascals at Drury-lane.

Cooke. Sir, I knew you, and I knew that you would feel indignant at such treatment; and in my confidence-my certainty of your generosity, I pledged myself-I am in honour bound to play for him.
Harris. Well-well-then you must.
Cooke. My dear-my best of friends-thank you-I must drink your health-thank you-thank you, my dearest friend-you have granted the three things I had most at heart-you have lifted a burthen-three burthens from me-Money ! Manchester ! Cooper !- I shall return to London light as Gossamer !- I will first finish my wine-(pouring the balance of the bottle into a tumbler) and then-(displaying the wine, and raising his voice from the low level tone in which he had been speaking, to its high sharp key) my voice will be as clear as your liquor !- Ahem !- I shall play in my best style to- night, I promise you !
Haris. What! What's that ? You play to night !
Cooke. I shall give it them in my best style! Aha ! Ahem ! Aha ! Aha ! Aha !- Haw !
Harris. Play tonight !- And here at this time ! and in this situation !- John-Thomas! (ringing the hell violently) Where's the carriage that brought Mr. Cooke ?
Servant. On the common, sir.
Cooke Aha !- Common ! That's right, I'm to join Cooper on the common ! But there's no hurry-let's have another bottle ! Another bottle, my good friend !
Harris. No, no, no, no !- No more-go-go away-quick .- Here John !- lead Mr. Cooke.
Cooke. Stand away, fellow !- What do you mean, sir-Is this treatment for a gentleman, and the son of a gentleman, to be treated thus by the son of a soap-boiler !- Pah! Fat !- Is this the way you treat the man who has made your fortune ?- Fat !
Harris. Well-my dear Cooke-go-consider-the audience-the time o'day-your friends-
Cooke suffered himself to be soothed, and led away by the valet, leaving the astonished manager to anticipate the hisses and rioting of a disappointed public, and perhaps the discordant crashes of his lamps and chandeliers.

Letters and newspapers are delivered out of the office every day (except Sunday) at all hours from the rising to the setting of the sun ; and on Sunday from 9 to 10, and from 1 to 2.
Newspapers, to be forwarded by the mail, should be inclosed in a cover and left open at one end, and the number of free papers, and of those for subscribers respectively, endorsed on each packet ; and all newspapers for each post office, should be inclosed in one package, provided they do not exceed twenty in number. If a let- ter or memorandum in writing, is contained in any newspaper, the person who deposits the same forfeits five dollars, and the package becomes liable to letter postage.
C 2
LONGWORTH'S
Letters to be sent by mail, should be addressed to the places of their destination in the clearest manner-they should always be di- rected to the nearest post office, if the person to whom addressed does not reside where there is an office ; and the name of the state ought not to be omitted ; letters are often mis-sent from their am- biguous direction ; a punctual attention to this rule may prevent de- lays and miscarriages.
Letters to be forwarded by mail, ought to be delivered at the of- fice at or before the time of closing, to ensure their going by the mail of the day ; as before the departure of a mail, all letters com- posing it are to be rated and marked, accounts of them entered, and those accounts made out to be transmitted to the respective. post offices-and newspapers should be delivered at the office an hour at least previous to the hour of closing the mail.
If an abatement of letter postage be claimed, the letter must be opened in presence of the post-master, or one of his assistants ; and if such letter should, instead of being overcharged, happen to be undercharged, the deficiency must be made up by the applicant.
All letters which are lodged to go by the British packets, should be distinguished by writing per packet -- for there are places of the same name in the United States, similar to those in Europe.
* Letters going out of the United States, must be paid for when lodged in the post office.
