Great preparations are beieg made by the friends of ‘the several candidates for House Printer. In the Union imterest there are ne less than four candidates, vit.:— ‘Mesers. Nicholson, Waterson, Towers, and Forney. Mr. Nisholson is the present principal editor of the Union. Mr. Waterson is an assistant editor of the same paper. ‘Mr. Towers is a practice! printer, was Superintentent of Public Printing, and is a whig; he is, however, under ‘stood to be now connected with the Union establishment. Joha Forney, it is understood, is willing to give up the Cierkship of the House if he ge‘a the printing—going halves with the Union people, Harris and company. Bev- ‘erly Tuoker, of the Sentinel, bass great many p‘rsonal riends, but the course of his paper has beem so vacillating and it bas been conducted with so little power, as to in jure hir chances of success. Menara, Pratt, of Conn., Kittredge, of New Hampshire, sad some other Eastern members, talk of voting fer an anti-Nebrsska man, and making that the test. The friends of the Nebraska bill im the House are rather desponding as to the success of that measure against the underhand rancuvring of the President's friends. Tt is said the Union will shortly come out with an offi cial article, declaring that the administration do not de- sire to be understeed as making the Nebraska bill an ad- ministration measure, and its support a test of the friend- ship of members.

Rapid Growth and Increasing Prosperity of Chi- cago—Its Population, Business, Railroads, Value of Real Estate—Is Chicago a Healthy City? $c., $c. {Gl have now been here some months, and have de- voted a considerable portion of my time to the study of the advantages, disadvantages, position, both local, social, and mercantile, of this much vaunted city—I say much vaunted advisedly, for meet a man who hails from the City of the Prairies in any part of the Union, and the rapid growth, present prosperity, and future greatness of Chicago, is his never tiring theme of conversation; he throws it in,‘ usque ad mauseam,”’ before breakfast, again before dinner, even whilst digesting the same over a quiet segar, until you almost wish his blessed city was submerged in its own lake. But come here, Mr. Editor, and the trath of what you have listened to so unwillingly forces itself upon you; a rapid change “ comes over the spirit of your dream,”’ and you look back upon your loquacious enthusiast as an intelligent, far- sighted individual. You recollect what Chicago was twelve years ago, and you see it now. The lustre of Aladdin’s wonderful lamp almost pales before the wonders that you find have been enacted here- Situated at the head of lake Michigan, Broad street, radiating far into the Prairie, is lined with really magnificent blocks of brick and polished stone buildings which have sprung up as if by magic; a wide and navigable river runs nearly through its centre, the banks of which are studded with convenient docks and im- mense warehouses. The increase of business that has taken place within the last year has been unprecedented almost in the history of the world. notwithstanding the hindrance that occurred by the scarcity of mechanics and laborers, 2,000 dwelling houses were in that time erected in the city, a num- ber totally inadequate to the demand. The lumber used amounted to 60,000,000 of feet, and 25,000,000 of brick were made and imported here. The amount of taxable property, as shown by the assessment rolls for the last year, amounted to $16,841,000, and it is conceded would have reached over $20,000,000 had the assessment been made at no more than two- thirds of the market value of the article assessed; as it is, it now shows an inerease over the previous year of $3,200,000. Twelve years ago Chicago had wy 5,000 inhabitants; the census returns for 1853 af® 60,650. Six years ago Chicago had not one foot of railway finished; at the present moment there are thirteen crunk rail completed and under con- struction, leading of the city, 1,203 miles of whioh are completed, and more than double that number will be ready within one year. These trunk railways are as follows:—Michigan Central, Northern Indiava and Michigan Southern, Chicago and Gale. na, Chicago and Galena Air Line, St. Charles Air Line to Galena, Chicago and Rock Island, Chicago and Aurora, Chicago and Mississippi to Alton, IIli- nois Central, (Chicago to Cairo,) Lake Shore, (to Milwaukie,) Chicago and Fort Wayne, Cincinnati, Peru and Chicago, Illinois aud Wisconsin to Fond du Lac. Together with the advantage of the im- mense amount of cheap motive power thus affurded by this centralization of railways, the nataral position oft Chicago makes it almost unequalled for commer- cial purposes. Situated, in the first place, at the head of a lake navigation which extends to the Atlantic, it is too far removed from the seaboard to be affected materially by tariffs; and, again, built upon the edge of an immense and fertile prairie, the magnificent country west of it is daily filling up with crowds of immigrants who settle and cultivate its rich lands, sending their Lop to this ve for —— — ir purchases in this are T have jmay & Chi was an an- healthy place, but upon strict investigation I find such is Tar from being the case, at least if we are to judge by comy ; the deaths average one in fifty, whilst Tondersand the average for New York is one .

The Legislature and the Railroads—The State Legislatare meets so often that its sessions are not worth chronicling to anybody beyond the limits of “Providence Plantations.” It met three several times last year to my knowledge. Having taken an early start now, and meeting again next May, it has & good start for the year, A bill of some importance has been several weeks before the Honse—having passed the Senate, where it originated, by two to one—for the better control of railroad companies. It seems that all of these eom- panies in the State have got into an unending snarl. The people prove that they show favoritism in taking and delivering freight; that when goods are da- maged by them they oppress the owner by making him first pay freight, as ifno damage had been done, and then get his money in the best way that he can by a law suit. They prove that the rate of freight and passage is not uniform, and that the free tickets granted will enable them to control any election in the State. It is said that at one time there were above three thousand gratuitous tickets on the Stonington Railroad alone. Moreover, when this road was chartered one provision expressly re- quired that citizens of Rhode Island should always be carried at the same rates as through passengers. This Jaw is wholly disregarded, and the departure has become oppressive they say. Tickets from this city to New York were once one dollar only; but from Kingston, between Providence and Stonington, they were two and three fourths dollars. If a Kingsto nian sent to Providence and purchased a cheap ticket, getting on the cars at his home, he was not permitted to use it. On the Worcester road it costs one dollar per ton to send coal to Woonsocket, four- teen miles; while it is but one dollar and fourteen cepts to Worcester, forty-two miles. The bill before the Legisiature provided that ten cents ton should be allowed for loading and unloading coal, and that the cars should take it at a specified uni- form rate per mile. So, also, with fares. It is said to cost more to come from Worcester to Woonsoeket than to Providence. The bill was today as good as indefinitely post- poned. It was referred to the Railroad Com- missioners of the State, who are to report a bill for the removal of those grievances at the next session, it they deem it necessary. Most of the five commissioners are op} to tae bill; hence thus ends a month's legi: ion, like ‘‘ Ungas, the last of the Mohegans.”’ T had almost forgot that the Legislature had been amusing itself with an old proposition to pay a hum- bug claim called “ the State debt.” It seems that in 1796 the’State passed the Force act, which required that all revolutionary claims should be presented im- mene or forfeited. Many persons, supp this the last cupereanity £0 get a cent, settled wit! the State by getting about six cents on the dollar. Yet some forty thousand dollars were not presented. Very soon the United States Commissioners came forward and settled these remaining $40,000. Those who had compromised with the State, finding them- selves cut oft trom a par settlement with the general government, now applied to the State and procured 8 re-issue of the certificates which had been mrad be atso cheap a rate by the State, on the condition the certificates thus re-issued should never resented to the State, but solely to the United tates. It seems, however, that the national fands about that time became exhausted, and that the certificates were never redeemed. T! now, with accumulated interest, amount to al $130,000, and are again urged on the State for pay- ment, minus only the sum formerly paid. The State has expended far more than the claim in dis- cussing the subject, and will yet be forced to pay, Just to abate the nuisance.

We find that no novelty of mach ascount is brought forward during three weeks. ‘Two pieces form the staple attractions of our theatres, and they are all so full every night that seats are fre- quently secured two or three days in advance. Thus, during the past week, Burton’s and the Broadway have been filled with the admirers of ‘‘A Midsummer Night's Dream,” while at the Bowery and National the audience ow lachrymose over Little Eva, who ‘prattles theology and sings sentimental songs to her papa. At Wallack’s a Grama rendered from the French, and called “ Ez: mestine,” has been played several times, Eroes- tine (Mrs. Hoey,) is the illegitimate daughter of the Viscompte de Champenrville, (Dyott.) He is not aware of her existence, but she knows him, and engages in his ser- vice. The kindress of her attention to him excites the jealousy of the Viscompte’s wife, (Mrs. Oonway,) and by this means, and a dramatic accident, it is ascertained by the Viscompte that his attendaat is bis daughter. Ha recognizes her, aad virtue is rewarded as it ought to be. In the underplot there is a seapegrace nephew of the Viscompte, (Lester,) and a piquant couatry girl, (Mrs. Stephens.) These two parts were very well played, and relieved the serious part of the drama. Mrs. Hoey, Mrs. Conway and Mr. Dyott gave fair representations of the parts entrusted to them. Brougham’s drama, ‘‘Tempta- téom,”’ has also been played. The characters were done by L. Thompson, Brougham, H. 8. Phillips, Dyott, Mrs. Brougham, and Mrs, Conover. Mr. Phillips, as Ster- Ung, displayed considerable talent for the line of busi ness, and the Broughams mover acted better. Thompeon’s performance was « fine piece of artist-work, never ex- @elled even by him. At Wallack’s to-night, “ The Bacheler of Arts,” “Love and Marder,” and ‘A Pretty Piece of Business.” On Wednesday Mr. Lester has a benefit, when Congreve’s comedy, ‘Love for Love,” is to be brought out. This Play was produced one hundred and fifty nine years ago, in the reign of William Ill, having been first acted in 1696, when the author was only tweaty-one years of age. His previous dramas were, ‘The Old Bachelor” and the “Double Dealer.’”’ Ase comedy of the olden time, “Love for Love” is abundantly curiouse Its success when first acted was so immense and immediate that the mamagers of the theatre voluntarily presented Congreve with a third share in their patent, to secure his future services as a Playwright. The piece was played about seven years ago in Boston, at the National theatre. then managed by Mr. Pelby. At Wallack’s = great deal of care will be appa- sent in the mounting of the comedy, and the cast will be a8 follows :— Sie Sam, Tegend.......... sees Valentine Leesa, (800 to Sir’ Sam Ber ‘youngest son to Sir Sam Foresight, i literate old fellow, ). at ‘Thompson. } r» Dy Mrs. Otssar, Mrs. Frail, (visi ‘Mise rrioe, (deughter to former Wile,).....csceeeecee eee ‘Mrs. Stephens. At Barton’s, the “ Besu’s Stratagem,” by Farquhar, is in rehearsal. Mr. Edwin Forrest is soon to play an en- qegement at the Broadway, and *‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’’ will be withdrawn from the stage of that theatre after this week. It is to be played this evening, with the farce of “My Young Wife and Old Umbrella.” At Bar- ton’s theatre to-night, we areto have “'‘A Midsummer Night's Dream” amd “Oar Best Bosiety.”’ Both pieces seem to increase in favor with the public, with eaeh repre- sentation. ‘ At the Bowery, ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ still keeps the stage, and it is announeed for every evening this week. At the National, the same pieces—“ Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ ‘Hot Corn,” and “The Gambler’—will be given, afternoon and evening, in the same order as during the past four weeks. This afternoon, ‘The Gambler ;”’ in the evening, ‘ Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” ‘Mr. Comway has written a lecal drama, founded upon “The Old Brewery’’—a work lately published under the supervision of the ladies of the Five Points Mission. It is to be brought out at Barnum’s Museum this evening, In the cast we notice the names of 0. W. Clarke, J. @. Monroe, Hadaway, F. A. Monroe, Setchell, and Miss E, Mestayer.

Crying, he went into the honse of his father, John Mc Caun, who inquired of the man 4 he had knocked his boy down. The man replied that the boy fell by accident. Upon which McCann said that he was a liar and struck him a heavy blow in the eye. An unfortunate person named Macanally— as we understood the name—interfered to prevent further violence, and received a blow from McCann. The man whom McCann first attacked then endea- vored to make his escape, but was ht hold of by aman named Thomas Smith, and in the meantime Macanally, again interfering to prevent mischief, was stabbed in the side by McCann.
