MIR. KEAN.-This gentleman, the ablest trage-
dian Of the age, and who has never been surpassed
aimee the days of Garrck and Cooke, recently took
leave of an American audience at the Park Thea
tre and has departed for England in the packet ship
Sas Richards. At the close of his beneft-the
play was Richard tho Third-he addressed the au-
dience and bid them farewell. In his address he
made some remarks relative to his treatment in
Boston, and INDUCED in some severe reflections
against the mobocrats ofthat place. which has great
ly offended some of the presses, Of the old bay
city,"
In making these remarks, MIR. KEAN, was per-
sectly justifable, for who could expect him to
bear with complacency, the indignities offered him
whilst unprotected sojourner in the Literary En-
porum, by dastardly mob' He did as he ought to
have done, and if he had tamely submitted to the
insults offered him, he would have been unworthy
The character ofa man. We wish him much hup-
pness whilst in England, and that success to which
bis rare talents entite him.

We are exceedingly rejoiced to find that our
right worthy friend and cotemporary Of the Micro,
has volunteered his services to take the pasto-
raj care Of the Boston Presses, and that he has
out the determined advocate Of the Rev. ALDEN
BRADFORD, OF the Boston Commercial Gaze ttc.-
II is altogether gratuitous in the Editor of the Mi
crocosn, TO say that we have accused Mr.. BRAD
FORD "ofsome objectionable sin," and we distinctly
declare that we have done such thing, nor have
we uttered one word dsrespectful, of the standing
of that gentleman. In our last, it formed part OF
our duty to notice the political somerset Of the Ga
zette, over which this gentleman presides, and in
doing this, we deemed it proper and just to give a
slight ske,ch of the history of the individual
by whom it effected. We said that he was
formerly Clergyman, had been Secretary of the
State Of Massachusetts,, and an advocate of WM
II. CRAWFORD, at the last Presidential Election
These facts, we're set forth without the least de-
sign OF ofending-they have not been denied-and
yet Mr.. BRADFORD has juml ed mo a rage, and
pronounced us vile calumnators. As to what we
have said relative to this gentleman, must add,
that it was warranted by the nature of the case,
that he was spoken ofas public man, and that MIR.
BRADFORD, if he places himself before the public
as an editor, must expectto have his public con-
duct canvassed. Such is the fate Of editorial life.
We have disposition TO wound the feelings OF Mr..
BRADFORD or any other man-but it he comes
before the public, he must expect to partake of pu-
bic fair. We consider the interference Of the
Microcosm in this affair altogether gratuitous.

CAPT. CRErGHToN w have no disposition to
say much more this subject, but in order TO cor
rect Misrepresentation, we will add, that whatever
we have published relative to a dinner given to
Capt. John Orde Creighton, was done with a view
to correct report which had gone abroad, that the
citizens OF this town had given feast to this officer,
as an evidence Of their high estimation Of his gal
lantry Such not the fact, and for the credit of
the town, we considered ourselves bound to correct
il. The fact is, the dinner was got up by few
friends, who through mistaken zeal, attempted to
pass 1t ofas public affair and to give to it an i'm
portance which IT did not merit. And for the in
formation ofthe citizens Of other communities, we
add. that when il was ascertaned that the dinner
was palmed of as public ope, the most decided
and vehement disapprobation was unequivocally
expressed by nineteen twenteths Of the citizens oi

MENTAL ARIrHMETIC.--We have had on cur
desk work entitled the Mental Arithmetic,
and from attentive perusal of its contents pre-
pared to speak highly fits merits. The author is
Mr.. ROSWELL c. SMITH, who for the last two years
has been an eminent teacher Of the classics and ma
shematc' in fourishing Academy Of this town
and throughout the work he has discovered much in
genuiiy and research. The Mental Arithmetic,
unlike Dabolls and Walshs, is rendered exceed
ingy simple and comprehensive, and brought
down to the level ofjuvenile capacities. The pro-
blems of such nature, as to introduce a happy
association Of ideas, aud to familiarze the arhme-
tic with the little business transactions of youthful
Efe. The work is highly recommended by several
gentlemen fameliarly acquainted with mathematical
&C. euce, and to minds possesses many advantages
over any work of the kind recently issued from the
press. We should think that a beneficial result
would be felt # it were generally introduced into
our schools.

THE cIRcys-This public place ofamusemsnt
under the Management Of Mr. HUNTER, the celebra.

full and fashionable audience, who departed highly
yratfed with the performances Of the evening
The feats of Mr. Hunter are truly astonishing; and

Hunter performed during the ancient Salem eynas-

who were executed :" for having had TO do with

There is nothing, however, in these performan-
ces, which are in the least repusve to our natures
or which can offend female modesty, or the most
scrupulous. The building, though temporary
one, is far from being unpeasant-it is neatly fitted
up for the accommodation Of visitors, and comfortably
warmed with stoves
We understand, it is the intention Of Mr.. Hun
TER, to make additions to his establishment and in
roduce stud # eight horses soon ms practicable.
Until this is done, visitors will find themselves de-

All other feats, which almost put human credulity

raj dearth Of amusement prevails, we think Cir
Gus cannot fail TO meet with the most unqualified
