The New York herald., 1845-10-13

We perceive that there will be great competition
amongst the newspapers Washington during the
ensuing session of Congress, IN the matter of pub
fishing the reports of Congress, what they call the
debates In Congress. Rtchie and Heiss have pub
hshed their prospectus, and announce in style
quite characteristic of green hands the business
their intention of issuing what tn call the " Con-
grsssonal Union" Gales and Seaton, of the Inteih-
gencer, likewise announce their design OF publishing
the reports, and Blair and Rives have also issued
circular in which they give notice of entering on the
same field.
This competition and enterprise in reporting the
debates in Congress, originated, we believe, at the
extra session, after the accession of Mr.. Tyler, and
produced by the new system first introduced by
this establishment, the Herald of New York. One
thing particularly strikes us in these enterprises
When Blair and Rives gave up the Globe to Ritchle
and Heiss, at the order o. the President, it was
generally understood that they had abandoned the
field altogether, and entirely relinquished the bus-
ness Of reporting the debates in Congress and every
thing connected with public affairs. But II seems
they have not They appear to be still in the field,
and with greater force than ever, determined to
give the best reports Of the debates in Congress,
uninfuenced by "pary basls'' as they call it, This
Washington, for they are all so completely under
the influence of cques and factions, that it is i'm
possible for them to be independent That high
course can be taken only by New York journal
such as the Herald. And we mean to adopt it and
beat them ALL throughout the whole session OF Con-
gress.
| Blair and Rivesln IN undertaking the continuance OF
their Congressional reports, to be preparing
nest for themselves, order to be able to operate
eectually against the administration, provided it do
not accede to their wishes The movement also in
dlcates, that there may be seme contest about the
printership of Congress, and some confusion in the
ranks Of the democratic party as to who ought to be
| printer. The President has appointed Mr. Richie
his organ, but 1t does not follow that he is to get the
printing of Congress, unless Congress choos, to be
under the dictaton Of the President On the
whole, there will be, we cannot doubt, a grand
scramble for the spoils in Washington amongst the
| printers, and some curious developments NAV be
anticipated.
THEATRIcALs.-The theatres have been in the full
tide Of prosperity during the past week. AT the
Park the houses night after night have been crowded
10 suffocation, and the second engagement of the
Keans has been brilliantly successful than
the former. Tonight Romeo and Juliet" Is to be
repeated, with the improved readings In the princi-
pal parts, and full and versions of the whole
play, which secured Tor its former representation
such unbounded and enthusiastic appreciation Mr.
kean intends to play in all his best roles and give in
each the original readings which attracted SO much
attention on the part of the critical admirers OF the
Shakspearean drama the other side of theAtantic
30 highly successful was Mr.. Kean in his represen-
ations OF the principal Shakspearean char acters in
Lonoon' that one OF the plays had splendid and
uninterrupted run Of twenty-three nights.
