Special Dispatch to the New-York Time a. Wasoi rgton, Monday, May 10. The completion of the Pacific Railroad baa monopolised public attention here tb-day to the exclusion of everything else. The feeling is one of hearty rejoicing at the completion of this great work. There were no publio observances, but the arrangements made by the telegraph oompuny to announce the completion of the road simultaneously with the drivlns- of the last spike were perfect.

At too this afternoon, WashingtciTtime, all the (el-graph offices in the country were notified by the Omaha telegraph office to be ready to receive the signals corresponding to the blows of tbe hammer that drove the last spike in the last rail that united Mew-York and Ban Francisco with a band of iron. Accordingly Mr. Tinker, Manager of the Western Union Telegraph Office In this city, placed a magnetic bell-sounder In the public office of thta Company, corner Four-teentlTstreet and the avenue, connected the same 'with the main lines, and notified tbe various offices that he was ready. New-Orleans Instantly respouded, the answer being read from the bell-tap. New-York did the same.

At fttTT o'clock offices over the country began to make all sorts of Inquiries of Omaha, to which that office replied To Everybody Keep 'quiet. When tbe last Splke'ls driven at Promontory, Point they will say Done. Don't break the circuit, but watch for the signals of the blows of the hammer." At 2:27 P. Promontory Point, 2,400 miles west of Washington, said to the people congregated in the various telegraph offices Almost ready. Hate off; prayer Is being offered." A silence for the prayer ensued.

At 2:40 the bell tapped again, and the office at tbe Point said "We hare got done praying. The spike is about to te presented." Chicugn replied "Weunderstand; all are ready In the East." Promonotory Point: "All ready now; the pike will be driven. Tbe signal will be three tola for the commencement of tbe blows." For a moment the Instrument was silent then the hammer of the magnet tapped the bell, One, two, three," the tlgnal another pause of a few seconds, and the lightning came flashing eastward, vibrating over 2.400 miles between the junction of tbe two roads and Washington, and the blows of tbe hammer upon tbe spike were measured Instantly ta telegraphic accents on tbe bell here. At 2:47 f. Promontory Point gave the signal, "Done," and the Continent was spanned with Iron.

Tbe same ceremony was observed at tbe military telegraph office in tbe War Department, where were present Secretary Rawlins, Generals Bberman, Townsend, and others. The President was unavoidably kept away by an engagement. The bell-taps here, too, repeated tbe blows of the hammer, and the completion of the great enter-' pnse was known here before the echoes of the at stroke had died out of the ears of those present at tbe ceremonies on Promontory Point. atsjatelaa; la This Citr-Tbe Baeenlas; atf Caaaaa sussl Calasiaar as Belle Hae aim mat Thaaktgiviaf Service at wld Trinity Addrees ay Ker.

SBRVICES AT TRIN'tTT CTTCTtCH. Long before 12 the hour at which the special religious services in honor of the great event were to begin, Old Trinity was crowded with a congregation representing all conditions of our municipal society, anxiously awaiting tbe commencement of the exercises. At noon, after a voluntary on the organ had been performed, a long line of white-roled choristers and attendant clergymen emerged from the vetry and entered tbe chancel, all singing the following processional hymn come, lond anthems let us sing. Loud thanks to our Almighty King, For we our voices high should ruinc When our salvation's rock we praife.

This intimate connection between these instruments is grandly typical of the great event we are here assembled to commemorate the harmony of music and concord of one tune are practically illustrative of the Joining of two oceans by ruilroad connection. In order to give im-pteartveness to the completion of a work so fraught with blessings to us as a people, the Chamber of Commerce of New-York have sent, by their Committee, a congratulatory dispatch to the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco.

(The reverend gentleman here read the dispatch, which may be found above. This communication has probably reached its destination long since, even earlier than it is dated, owing to the difference in time between the two points and about the time when we shall have closed these exercises, our strains of praise and thankssivins: will be taken up and reiterated on lhe shores of the mighty Pacific. Tkis is indeed great event of the world it is one of the victories of peace a victory grander than those of war, which leave in their track deeolation, devastation, misery and woe. Itia a triumph of commerce a triumph indicating free trade as a future law of tbe nation. It is practically, in view of the results that will flow to the cause of Christianity in consequence of It, a fulttltment of the prophecy recorded in Holy Writ And tbe Lord shall be king over all the earth in that day there shall be one Lord, aud bis name one."

Tbe choir then pealed forth the Gloria In Mo-cart's Immortal Twelfth Mass, the rendering throughout being superbly grand. Dr. Dix then offered np the prayer for the whole state of Christ's Church militant here on earth, and pronounced tbe benediction, after which tbe clergymen and choristers returned to the vestry, singing the recessional hymn, commencing: Bless'd be thou, the God of Israel, Thou our Father and our Lord Bless'd thy Majesty forever, Ever be thy uame adored.

Thine, Lord, are power and greatness, Glory, victory, are thine own; All is thine in earth and heaven, Over all thy boundless throne." Tbe musical exercises throughout were of a superior order, and chained the attention of the immense congregation. THE CHIMES. When the religious services were ended, Mr. Atliffk struck up the chimes, beginning by ringing the changes on eight bells, and following with national and operatic airs. The ringing of the chimes attracted a large crowd to Broadway at the head of Wall-street, and it was not until the booming of cannon In the City nail Park told of the receipt of an official dispatch by His Honor Mayor IIaxl.

announcing the driving of the last spike in the last rail, that this crowd separated In Wall-street, and at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, the great event of the day was the subject of conversation and congratulation, and many announcements were made by tbe merchants of a determination to visit San Francisco, via the new route, during the coming Summer.

Apart from the relations of this grand event to cnrisiianuy, poiiiicai economy, civilization and patriotism, it Justifies the metropolis in the pardonably selfish expectation to soon become the commercial exchange of the world, Her newspapers, which have so aterf contributed to this day's result, mut soon accustom our citizens to phrases like this one: The Asiatic freight train has arrived on time.

The celebration of the completion of the great interoceanic railway connection to-day was the most successful affair of the kind that ever took place in Chicago, and probably the West.

It was entirely impromptu, and therefore almost every man and woman and child in the city did their part toward making it a success.

Washington, Monday, May 10. Mr. Moti.f.t. the new Minister to England, is, it appears, to receive some written instructions of a general character in reference to the resumption of negotiations for the settlement of the pending questions between this country and Great Britain. It is stated that they will be very brief, and cover not so much what the present Administration Would be willing to consider a satisfactory solution of the Alabama difficulty, as what it would be sure to reject- Mr.

MoT LET, whose return to Washington before be leaves is not looked for, will sail from New-York on the 19th inst. TnK ALABAMA CLAIMS. A gentleman who arrived here to-day direct from London, and who is well acquainted with the leading statesmen there, says that Sir Hesrt Lttton Bclwer had given notice that he would, on the evening of May 11, call up the Alabama Claims Treaty in the Houe of Commons. It was Sir Henry's intention to speak at same length, criticising the action of the British Ministry, and also taking exceptions to the course of Mr. Seward in precipitating action on this subject after tbe American people bad condemned the Johnson Administration at the ballot-box.

This speech from a man so strong in this nation as Mr. Bclwer, ill be looked for with much Interest, and it Is hoped here that the reception of Mr. Slmseb'S speech In England will not defer its delivery. THE BELGIAN MISSION. A large number of consular commissions were signed at the State Department during Saturday and to-day, and will be transmitted during tbe present week.

The President virited the Department to-day, and rumor has it that it was in reference to tbe Belgian mission, and tbe making of some provision for J. Russell Jones. It can be stated authoritatively, however, that there will be no immediate change in the representation of the United States at that Court. THE MARY LOWELL. The facts in tbe case of tbe Mary Lowtll, that she was an American ship, seized while In British waters, under charge of a British officer, and condemned as a prize by the Spanish authorities, were officially communicated to the Foreign Office of Great Britain by tbe State Department some time ago.

Tbe claim has been presented by the English Government for settlement at Madrid, and here it Is that another complication arise. It appears that the Spanish authorities Insist that the vessel was not In British waters at the time, being more than three leagues from shore, which in the very nature of things will take some time to decide. The Spanish Government professes its ability to produce witnesses who will testify to this fact of locality at the time of seizure. Z. t1" the tax QrEsnor.

Two representative of the New-York brokers' Interest were here to-day, endeavoring to induce the reopening of the recent decision in the tax question, for the purpose of reviewing some of its points. In the absence of the Commissioner, Mr. Douglass. Acting Commissioner, and Mr. Smith, Solicitor, decided not to reopen the question.

A communication was also presented from C. 8. Sloane, Chairman of the Executive Committee of tbe Stock Exchange, requesting that the time for making monthly returns for April should be extended, and that meanwhile a reconsideration of the original question should be bad. Mr. Doco-LA88.

for the Commissioner, assured tbe parties that tbe Department would not exercise any arbitrary power, but would exercise all the discretionary authority that seemed necessary to facilitate parties iu accommodating themselves to tbe requirement of tbe recent decision. THE NEW-YORK CtJSTOM-nOCSR. Considerable important information was, today, laid before the President with reference to irregular and fraudulent practices hitherto prevalent In tbe New-York Custom-house. Tbe matters were referred to Special Agent Howe for bis investigation, and he will probably bring them to the attention of Collector risk ell. personal.

Albany, Monday, May 10, 1869. The row about the Tammany tax levies still continues, with no better prospect of an adjustment than existed when the two House adjourned on Sunday morning. Tammany labored hard all day yesterday to buy over another Republican Senator, but without success. Tbe new bribery bill (which, by tbe way, the Governor has not signed yetl looms np as a dark shadow in tbe future, and begins to strike terror to the hearts of men who have been trading their votes during this and previous sessions. It is important for tbe future moral effect of tbe law that an example should be made under it immediately, and the public will be glad to know that evidence Is being collected for that purpose.

In order that the Imputation of partisanship may not attach to the movement, the law should be enforced against a Democrat and a Republican at tbe same time, and an example should also be made of one or more of the promi nent lobbyists wbo have got rich by hanging around the Legislature during this and past years, disbursing the bribery funds. The influence of these scoundrels on the legislation of tbe State la even more than that of the members who sell their votes, for each one of them has corrupted scores of members, who, but for them, would never have thought of selling themselves. At the opening of the Senate this morning Mr. Foloer moved to take from tbe table several vetoes of the Governor, which was carried, and all were sustained. The Senate then resumed the consideration of tbe tax leviee where they left off Sunday morning.

Mr. Tweed moved that the Senate concur in the levies passed by the As sembly, whereupon Mr. Foloer raised the point of order that both Houses having refused to agree through their respective Conference Committees in the levies a passed by the Assembly, tbe same were dead, and could receive no further action from tbe Senate. Tbe President de cided the point of order not well taken, and Mr. Folger annealed.

After considerable disc Us ui on, in which Mr. Crowley sustained Mr. Fol ger, and Mr. Murphy the President, a vote was taken on the appeal, which resulted yeas 16, nays 16 ATTOON voting, as usual, with the Demo crat. The President gave the easting vote in the affirmative to sustain his own decision.

whereupon Mr. Folger raised another point of order, that on an appeal from the decision of tbe President that functionary had no right to give the casting vote. Lieutenant-Governor Beach Tbe chair de cides otherwise. Mr. Folger Otherwise," (with emphasis;) that Is nothing but a reiteration of the chair's decision.

A discussion then ensued as to the rights of the President in the case, Mr. Murphy elalmingthat he bad the right to give the easting vote, and citing a similar case on tbe part of tbe Speaker of the Assembly several years ago. Mr miin said that was not a parallel case. The Speaker or the IseemblyVas amembe'r-elect of that body, whereas tbe President of the Senate was not a member of the Senate, but merely the constitutional presiding officer. a question of delicacy on tbe part of the Presi dent, he declined to say anything.

Mr. attoon here raised the point that no niuwtlon was pending, and the discussion dropped. Mr. Tweed's motion to concur in the tax levies passed by the Assembly being again in order, Mr. Morgan moved to strike out tbe clause In the City levy making an appropriation of twenty per cent, of tbe Excise fund (equal to about $300,000) for the support of private schools tn New-York.

He said these private schools were simply parochial school, and as such were sectarian. The larger share of them were Catholic, but he was opposed to appropriating money for the support of any sectarian school of any denomination. It was a stepping-stone to tbe destruction of tbe entire publie school system of the State. Instead of encouraging these schools by giving them a share of the pub lic-money, the State ought to discourage them. and com Del the children educated therein to come out and attend the public schools.

Mr. Van Patten opposed tbe appropriation and every other scheme for perpetuating religious prejudice, by encouraging school founded in opposition to the publio schools ox tne state. If there were not accommodations sufficient for all the children in New-York, let them be increased; but if any religious denomination in sisted upon educating It children In sectarian schools, let it support such schools by private aid. and not with tbe publie fund. Mr.

Mattoon advocated tbe appropriation, because it would jreacb a das of children who would not otherwise be educated. Mr. Cbkameb also advocated It, and said that he had talked with leading men in other denominations besides tbe Catholic, and they were equally earnest with tbe Catholics in desiring aa appropriation of this kind. He did not state who tbe leading men were, or to what denomination they belonged. Mr.

Humphrey pretested against any further discussion of the School question at this time, aa It would not make a particle of difference or change a single vote on this or any other Item of the tax levies now under consideration. Mr. Morgan then withdrew his motion to strike out this clause, and Mr. Tweed withdrew hat motion to concur; whereupon Mr. Creamer moved that another Co nf ere ace Committee be appointed, which was carried.

Mr. CDonnxix moved to instruct th Committee ta adhere to the tax le vie that our 1 the Booste lost by tbe aame party vote, Mr. Mattoo voting with tha Democrats. During the diacassion on this no-tion Mr. MoaoAjf Informed tbe Democrat side of tha Senate thaj; tha Republicans weald not mare a hair's breadth from tha position they bad taken, and that they could never pass tb tax levies that were put through the Assembly by the Tammany Ring.

-Mr. Mattoon took the occasion to deny tha insinuation that had been thrown out about hi deserting hi party aad going ever tojth Demo exata. There was not a drop of Desnocratie blood la his vein and never would be. But denied that this was, or aught to be regarded a a party measure. It was entirely a local muasais that ought to be left to New-York.

Ho bad always been opposed to special Ttoglslation for the Ctty of Nw-York, aad was ready at any time to for tbe repeal of an tha cossmlaslnas that been created for that Oty except the Police Com- miasion, which ha said ha believed factory tebett parties.

Tbe Committee went Into session at noon, and tbe Senate adjourned to I P. M. in the assembly the proceedings to-day were of little publie interest. A few Senate Mils of a Taeal character were concurred la, and an attempt was made to concur in Swain's Two-tier Railroad bill, as it passed th Senate, bat failed. Another mock session was held while waiting for the senate's Conference Committee, and after that was agreed upon the House adjourned to 4 P.

The new Conference Committees on the tax levies, after being in session all day, came In at 9 o'clock this evening with a report tnat tney bad agreed unanimously on now tne uty ana County levies.

Senator Williams, who at first withdrew from tbe Committee, again changed his mind, and went back and took part tn tbe deliberations, and signed his name to the report. The levies, as agreed upon, are in the ffirnMi to joojOOO larmsr than those that origtn- ally passed tbe Senate the Increase on the City levy being tl ,600,000, and on tne oounty levy but the items of the ring lev ies that passed the Assembly nave eeen eut down in the aggregate about ooo, Tbe Item appropriating SO per cent th KtcIka Income to private schools is retained, but the money is to be distributed under the direction of the Board or Edncauon. rt whni. the RAimbliean members of the Assembly Committee think they have got a pretty moderate levy. It was ratified by the Assembly nearly unani mously, but in tbe Senate It met with a tmnir onnoaitlon.

It had been agreea among tbe Republican members of the Senate, with tbe exception of Mattoon, wbo bad gone over to the enemy, that they would adhere to tne leviee which passed their body; and when they saw Williams' nam signed to tbe report of the Conference Committee they were satisfied that another of nunhm had moa ever to the enemy, ana the result proved that there were two more trai tors in the camp for, when the vote on concurring with the report of the Committee was taken. It was found that Van Patten bad also become a sudden convert to tbe Tammany levies. Tttii nf theae Senators tried to excuse themselves for the vote they gave, but It was dnn tn ancb a stammerUut way and with such evidence of guilt ss to become not only a morti- Mn tint a alo.kenlnc spectacle. MATTOON, WBO does his business boldly, was disgusted with his associates in treason, and did not hesitate to say tu. we aahamed of them.

The vote stood 18 in favor of concurring with the Commit tee and 13 against. Mr. STAFFORD was aosent hnt waa nrenared to vote with his party if hi vote had been necessary. Had the report of the Committee been substantially in ravor oi we ring levies aa they passed tbe AssemDiy, It was the design of the Republicans to tk RMimta. bo that three-fifths would not remain to do business, and.

thus prevent a confirmation of the levies in case it could not AnneL. After finishing- the two levies. both Houses passed concurrent resolutions to (m die at ia o'clock midnight, which they did, and many of the members left in the eariy morning wan THE STATE UXHBImAXUBB. SENATE. Monday, May 10.
