I The following article is liut an abstract of that in the New Monthly, which is accompanied by a hand some engraved portrait oi cooper. j ' - Among the frequenters of circulating libraries, and indeed in literary coteries,of all kiiids, Mr. Cooper is generally designated "The greatiAmerican Novel ist." When Hhe name of a writer becomes identi fied in this manner with that of his country, he may leel sufficiently assured ol the permanency of his repu tation. L He may vith perfect safety, leave his fame to take care of itself. His is no fleeting or narrow renown; it isassociated with his "land's language." J. .; We are not hazarding much in-saying, that , no ; writer ever possessed the advantages enjoyed by the author of the " The Spy," on his. first outset in lite t rarv life. The rvery pucoliarity of his situation ren- 1 defed it next to impossible for him to fail in charming ' that large portion of the Eiiglish people denominated the novel-readers J An Esouimaux poet, brought over by Capt. Party, could hardly have excited more wonder than the great American Novelist," when he- made his first appearance in Europe. The world fell into a fit ofbdmiration at tie first sign of a, genius on tlie barren waste of America, and started at it, as the bewildered Crusoedid at Friday's -footmark on the sand. But in addition to these lesser advantages. the Novelist enjoyed the grand and all-sufficing one thaf arises from an entire originality of subject. The field that lay open jbefore him was not merely of im measurable exienti but he had the felicity of having jt all to himself. Like the Ancienylanner, Into tha He suddenly "He was the first thai ever burst silent sea." found himself recognised as the Sir Walter of thq New World, one who was to do for I his country what Scott had done for his; to delineate the character of its people; to paint its scenery; tb exult in its acq uirements and prospects; but, above all, to assert its glory and independence, i . . If some portk n of the success of our trans-atlantic Novelist was referable to circumstances. and to the ll ; pecuhar attractiveness of his subjects; a still greater : . x -i Aui. x i.!- iv i - portion was aunuuuiuie loimuseu, aim toxne energy and enthusiasm which he brought to his labors. We never met withj novels (and we have read all that I Vwere ever written since the creation of the world, ) ) of a more absorbing character, or more fatal to the : T female propensity of skipping the digressi ve' portions. Every word of jMrJ Cooper's narratives is effective, or appears eo . while you read : and yet he does not ,ecrupe to describe an object, in the most elaborate and uncompromising terms, three or four times over m the same work, if it be necessary that ; the reader should have an accurate outUnc of it before his eyes.

You see, in the images which he conjures up, every accessary of the scene, liowever insmm; yoi h ithe terms in which he dec ibes them, the roaring of the surge, the voices of t le ehmen, and the lapping of the sails.

I met him on the mountain one day and he bid me hold his horse and be d d to me. Judge. Go down : you are not fit to be sworn. It is only proper to add, that the boy appeared to be more knave than fool, and that his ignorance was well paid for by the defendant.
