CANFD2LD, Ot Jaekao County. 1 Hock Island Bridge SnlC 'The wgoment of one of the preliminary quesuons in uie cnanoerj suit ior uie rtuiuvn rT fVai Rt4f a a niiloftnH) oom. rnenced at Burlington, on Thursday last, at a upectal term of the United States Court before odge'LoTe. 'f, wames naro, wno owns a urge amount pi stock in the Western line of steamers, early in May, filed bill, charging that the structure was a cause of great delay, loss and damage to Steamers and rafts navigating the Mississippi and ought to be abated and further, that the Bridge is in a very dilapidated condition and in danger of falling down, and asking that the Company be restrained from making repair. when the Defendants appeared and asked till 19 th of August to file their answer, which continuance was granted on condition that an might issue should the -Company proeeed with their repairs.

The answer, of course, denies (all the allegv 'tiohs of the bill, except that the Bridge needs immediate repairs, and is in danger of falling the piers be repaired. The facts of the cue are that this Bridge its built in a very narrow and rapid part of the BiTcr, where the distance is only 1,300 feet front shore to shore, and the piers are set at a considerable angle to the current The long pier is 386 feet long and 45 feet wide, and net diagonally like the rest of thq piers, and boat hare to pass on the upper side of this through -a drain only 113 feet wide. About sixty aiAamara Kara already been iniurod thori several of which have been sunk and their cargoes lost The largest single item of Ions has bcn 180,000. The Committee on Coinmerco of the House of Representatives at who examined this subject fully last winter, and made a report thereon, say in their report: "We consider that the amount of daniago to commerce of Uie River, occasipned by and loss of boaU. extra insurance on them and their cargoes, and uie Iocs of lumber, This is a very heavy tat to pay by dwintercxtcd persons for the want ef proper skill in the construction of the Bridge.

From thecvidehce presented before the Committee, they cannot doubt but that the Bridge, aavat present constructed, Is a material and dangerous obstruc-. tion to the navigation of the MisUippi River." The river-mon are wide awake upon this and are well provided with funds to Mmr tint ItfHla iKmuirh. hava consol idated their claims for damages, which now sjnount to about a million of dollars, the whole of which thev eknect to collect. How the suit will finally result is difficult to determine. The bridge is a grand and useful structure, and, yet it cannot be denied Chat as nHMont MnstniHiWi it la a arimia nluimin.

When his wife was informed of the sad event she declared. that she had dreamed the night previous all about the catastrophe, and so sensibly had the vision been impres-ed on her mind, that the news was not unexpected. It is said that the very first paragraph in lion. Ruf us Choate's oration at Boston, on the 5th contained two hundred and fifty-six words, uttered without pausing for breath. Another sentence contained over five hundred words, is twelve inches long in print, and is decorated with two hundred and fifty adjectives.

Mr: Choate's wind Is so extraordinary that we wonder bis friends do not think of putting him on the Presidential course. A Bunch or Kansas Qckstions. The Democrats told us that the original Kansas question was "settled' last winter. Perhaps it was but there is a whole bnnch of promising young questions grown up from tho old root wih some of the erudite D. (Doctors of Democracy) would answer these questions; we can't.

How do they explain tho phenomenon that the question is settled, (as they say it is,) while it la not, and never will be, in the Union, with the Lccompton Constitution? The Washihjjton Union, of last Fridy, says that tho i.nglish bill has. been rejected because the people of Kansas were unwilling to take upon themselves the burden of sustaining a State Government' Why; then, did the President and the Democratic party attempt, six month ago, to force the people of Kansas to "take upon themselves the burden of sustaining a State Government We might point out some other sprouts from the old stump of the Kansas imbroglio but these will do for the present, 6't, Lottit Great Car bct Littlk WoOu We will be bound such was the exclamation, or the thought, of ninety-nine out of every hundred upon reading the Queen's Message to the President.
