CELEBRATION OP THE EVENT IN NEW YORK. ii mere was no jam in en crowu upon oroaawuy yesterday it was not because of any indifference on the part of our metropolitan population at the completion of so gigantic a work as the I'aclDc Railroad. Everybody felt happy over the event and expressed their pleasure in that quiet, thoughtful and dignified manner peculiar to the citizens of the greatest city in the New World.

Nevertheless, yesterday flags were flying from all the public and mauy private buildings in New York. Uy order of Mayor liall 100 guns were fired on the City Hall Park. The booming of the cannon and clouds of smoke that rose upwards with each discharge attracted a goodly number of persons to the spot; but this was the only it could be called in the city yesterday. On Wail street some excitement wus manifested. The bulls, ulded by the news of the road being completed, managed to ti.ss the stocks of several roads tolerably high.

The metropolie of America exults to-day because, by the completion of the I'aclUc Railway, two extremities and coasts of an Immense continent are commercially welded together. Apart from the relations of (Ids grand event with Christianity, political economy, civilization and patriotism, it Justifies the metropolis In the pardonably selfish expectation to sood become the commercial exchange of the world.

While the gTeat railroad triumph of the century was undergoing the last stroke towards Its completion a very numerous and highly faahlutialiie congregation assembled at Trinity church to take part In the celebration ordained hy the Corporation. At twelve o'clock the interior of this splendid edifice was the scene of one of those audiences that seldom gather In New York.

At about. half-past eleven o'clock Mr. AyiiiTe sounded the sonorous cldmes of "Old Hundred," "Hed, White and Blue," "Hall t'olumbla," sevorai other patriotic as wed as religious airs, which rang upon the clear atmosphere with a very pleasing effect.

The accompanying music of the chancel organ, echoed back by the massive main organ on the Broadway front, together with the exactly measured intervals observed by the singers, made this masterpiece of sacred music highly impressive and imposing to the ear of the listener. Next in order came the lesson from Deutoronomy verse 7, In which the children of men are exhorted to obedience. Psalm Ixxix.

immediately preceded the anteconimunion service, which was performed by the Kev. Morgan Dlx. Proceeding with the Nlcene creed and the chanting of an anthem, entitled "The Lord is Great," the formal services were then intermitted by an address Irom the itev. Dr. Vinton, who, upon ascending the pulpit, read a lengthy congratulatory telegram from the New York to the San Francisco Chamber o( Commerce.

This, said the reverend gentleman, Is an evidence that the great Pacific Kallrnad, begun but five years ago, Is complete. This work, embracing as it does a length of 3,285 miles, and all Included in an area bounded by four parallels of latitude and liity degrees of longitude, is the marvel of this industrial century. It Is one or the subllmest victories of peace, which are always greater than the victories or war. The splendid country which It traverses will be the most important held for the future labors of the Church. Not less for religion than for trade and commerce will it be the great highway lor exalted labor.

Formed geographically as Hie Western territory of our country is. into naturul basins for manv peoples and diverse interests, the Pac.ltlc Railroad will unite them, and thujf our l'nion yet siijer and mjfie stable in its growing pffljjortloiw. Heretofore nature has built up on tne West the tfrcat barrier of the Rocky Mountains, and on tiie Fast the AHeglianics and Sierra Nevadas have threatened the division or the l'nion. Now all lines of geographical demarcation must pass away: all hindrances to a common concent ration of industry and trade must disappear, and everything that until this movement seemed to conspire against the huuiogenity of the American people Is of the past. With the commercial grandeur of ihe work we join to-day the prophecy ol the religious lrulfs which it will that will seen In one language, one religion, one God.

We draw in our camels of the desert nsi our ahtna of the ocean luive been called. the tedious voyage around the dangerous Cape of Good Hope is at an end. Hereafter the railroad belt which spans the Continent will be the receptacle of the commercial energies so lately bestowed upon the outlying seas of the Atlantic and Pacific slope, civilization and proirress will develop lu in the West, the Church of God will grow in its Intluence and territorial extent and the rich resources which lie buried in the distant West will become for the further enlightenment of the rice. Dr. Vinton concluded by asking ol the congregation a collection for missionary purposes upon the line of the road.

It was taken up and realized a handsome sum. A benediction was then pronounced, when the congregation dispersed. CELEBRATION THKOIGHOIT THE COIN TRY. (treat Demonstration at Omaha. Omaha, May 10, 1869.

At half-past two o'clock precisely (Philadelphia time), the news was received of the driving of the last spike of the Pacific Railroad. Word was sent to the Mayor and in a few minutes the bells Independence Hull and various lire stations were runtr, drawing a crowd into the streets, thinking a general alarm of fire was being rung.

A large number of steam lire engines were ranged In front of Independence llali with screaming whistles, hose carriages, liells ringing, Ac.

All accounts I ran gather Agree that the company hare treated heir workmen In the moat shameful manner. Greater numbers than were needed were lndnced to go out to the end of the track for work. When arrived thev hail a choice either to work for the company for Inadequate compensation or starve.

They got on again and the conductor permitted them to ride to a point on the open prairie, half-way between two stations, when culling the brakemen to his assistance he seized his victims and thrust thein from the train while going at fall twenty or twenty-Uve miles per hour, what became of the poor creatnres I never learned.

SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. Arrival sf the President at Si.

Work te be Paehed to Settle Along the Road. St. Louis. May 10, Judge Levi Parsons, of New York, President of the Southern Branch of the Union'Pacific Railroad, running from Fort Riley, Kansas, down the Neosno valley to Fort Smith, arrived here last night, accompanied by the following New York Francis Sklddy. Robert S.

Stevens, (leorge Dcnntson, Theodore Johnson and A. H. Johnson. The party leave this afternoon for Junction City for the purpose of making an inspection ol the road. The road is a feeder to the Kansas Pacific Railroad.

The survey was commenced In December last. Slxtv miles will be built by next September, and the whole rood is under contract. The company have a grant of 1,350,000 acres of land, and jsio.ooo in county bonds have been subscribed towards the road by the counties through which it passes. Five thousand emigrants from Copenhagen have paid their uassage, and Swedes are expected during the seasou to settle on the lands belonging to the rood. AMUSEMENTS.

Fifth avenue Theatre?" The Wermjt's Bei.l."?Tills was the French opera at the Fifth Avenue last night. They call it an opera comlque, though it is quite as much a sentimental opera, with a leavening of wholesome piety. It does not belong to the oirenbachian school of the bouffe. The story Is consistent and connected and the development of the plot is something that we can almost believe in. The action takes place in a village, about the year 1701, at the end of the war of the Cevennes, on the French Hide of the Alps, on the boundary at that time between France and Savoy.

A squad of French dragoons are on a hunt for a gang of heretics. They halt and enjoy themselves at the house of a rich farmer, who has a farm hand devoted to the proscribed heretics and who is on good terms with a wild peasant girl who has a reputation in the village only for mischief. The farmer, too, has a pretty wife, somewhat inclined to weakness which seems to bo pretty general among the ladies of the locality. But the shrine and the bell of an old hermit (the (rood old man dead three hundred years) protect the lords of the hermit's bell siipcrnaturally riugmg out tiic alarm witli any peccadillo on the part ot the fair sex. The commander or the squad of dragoons gets into a decided flirtation with the farmer's wife, but at a meeting near the dreadful liell it rings out the alarm- The bold dragoon, however, contrives to quiet the lady's apprehensions and to humbug the jealous farmer, while the peasant girl manages the general business, with the farm hand, of getting the proscribed old pastor and his flock over the'mountains safely into Savoy.out of the clutches of the dragoons.

And the story ends the hapnv union of the peasant girl and the farm hand, with a happy clearing up of a charge of treachery to the refugees she had undertaken in a by-path to lead over. Irma as Hose I'rlqtiet, the peasant girl: Aujac as Hvtvain (the farm hand), Mons. Tholer as Belainy (the bold dragoon). Lagntroul as Thibanlt (the stnpid, old. Jealous farmer).

Mile. Iiuclos as Georgette, the farmer's pretly and coquettish wile: Mr. Hamilton as the pastor, are the prominent characters of the play. The music is delightful, and while Irma and Aujac never appeared to better advantage than last night, Mons. Tholer, with his rich, strong voice and tine acting, came in as a very welcome acquisition.

The Alpine sceties throughout are very fine, and the costumes of the dragoons and peasantry are historically satisfactory. The choruses, male and female, are good: the music, solos, duets and choruses are, we repeat, delightful and refreshing. The whole make-up and execution of the piece are exceedingly graceful and picturesque. The dialogue might be somewhat shortened to advantage, buc still, as given last BUM. the opera is a very pleasing entertainment.

Ix't those wlio would lie satisfied go and see and hear it. It has evidently been produced with great care and regardless of expense in every department. WAVERI.EY HIE ATM COIIipiCU! Ol company ana of the bill attracted a very respectable audience to the uncomfortably narrow seats of this otherwise commodious little theatre last night. The performance comprised the domestic drama entitled "Miriam's Crime," the farce of "Middy Ashore," and a second farce, "Icl on parle Francais," with the "Love Letter Polka" and the "Kiss Waltz," by those pretty girls and line dancers, Misses Hetty aud Emily Rlgl. "Miriam's crime" Is a touching domestic story, founded on the generous burning of a will by Miriam (Miss Lizzie HUlmorei for the purpose of permitting the fortune to go to the man she loves, but her mistaken scheme of love is thwarted by the saving of a previous will bv Biles (Mr.

Felix Kogers), a drunken lawyer's clerk. The result the usual one, of course, and the plot Is well worked out, presenting some very touching scenes. The quiet and chaste elaboration of Miss wiilmore's representation of Mirlatn is verv refreshing after the overdrawn passion on the one hand and the burlesque exaggeration on the other, of which we have had so much. Mr. Rogers' Btloa was an excellent and not over-acted sketch of the drunken lawyer's clerk, and If he would drunk his a little more lilies would become a favorite stuge toper.

In the "Middy Ashore." Miss Jenny Wtilmore as Hurry Halcyon and Mr. Kogers as Tom Cringle, brought down the house. The pieces were well put on and the support by the rest of the company was very fair. were glad to see that ail were well up in their parts and (lid not attune the patleneo of the audience by delay and undue preparation. The tilll through the week, and a visit to the Will mores will be found pleasant.

Howkuy hills announced that "Who's to Win" was acted In London "two entire seasons, with the most enthusiastic applause." Such a positive declaration invited personal scrutiny, and alter bestowing it upon this drama, at Its tlrst representation last evening, we are only uble to say that the very numerous audience, which filled the house to Its utmost capacity, was so well pleased that their comments will ail every seat for this season not only, but for some others to come. It Is exactly what the habitues of our so-called popular theatres want. There is an adventurer and the keeper of a workhouse, a nobleman and a scoundrel, a beuuttful woman and betrayed wife, a "second sight" and a rescued daughter, and there are scenic effects, sueh as the appearance of the whole scene of the murder ol his wife at the moment of the death of young Edward. And the denouement is actually Irritating. Ami all this Is alterwurds to lie followed by the "Chief of the Ghant Mountains," where agnln Injured Innocence triumphs, and where the victory ol the true lover Is finally achieved by the aid of an American middy and a "joll.v tar" from an American man-of-war, the middy's constant companion and occasional protector.

The world has seen worse dramatizations upon the stage; but it does one's heart good to hear the Joyful expressions of sympathy with the mlsforluues of an American sailor In foreign lands, and the shouts of Joy when he at last succeeds In vanquishing nls enemy. Patriotism may tie taught in better ways, but the losson will never have a more lasting effect. Bryants' MtNsTHF.i.s.?These dusky favorites, aftct a short alisencc from the metropolis, reopened last evening at their popular hall In Tammany fot the summer season, with new attractions and a re(luctlon in the prices of admission. The troupe were welcomed back to the city by a crowded house, not even standing room being attainable, and well did the members of the rompanv, Individ ually and collectively, endeavor to please their im mouse audience, that, the bouse was kept in con tlnuous roar of sldo-spUttlng laughter from the coin mencemcnt to the termination or the performance.

I'akr Thkatrk, Ore act drama entitled "Snare, or What can't Money Do" was pro I dueed for the first time last evening at this theatre, and witnessed by as many admirers of the dramt I as the honae could well hold. It is scarcely necessa ry to add that the play was highly appreciated, when Itlsetated that Mrs. D.

P. Bowers and Mr. 1 C. McCollom siutainsd the leading parts, those of Clara and Harry Meivlllei a loving wire and affectionate husband, who are eventually separated by an artful woman, who gains her purpose by the i liberal nse of money. This artful woman was Mrs.

We have nothing but praise to give to the company, nor nave we any doubt "The Emerald Ring" will command even a larger house in Brooklyn on Wednesday night. We ought not to forget the orchestra, which gave entire satisfaction to the audience. FREE TRADE. Meeting at the Cooper by W. C.

Hrynul, E. Atkinson, Juines Brooks nnd Others. Last evening a meeting wus held at the Cooper Institute under the auspices of the Free Trade League. There wus a fair attendance, and the proceedings appeared to be regarded with some interest. On the motion of Mr.

David D. Field the chair was taken by Mr. Howard Potter. Mr. William crr.i.en Bryant was tlie first speaker, lie said he was glad to see that concourse.

It was a worthy occasion which called tliern cause of the great mass or our population, the cause of human liberty, the cause of national prosperity, the cause of the useful arts, the cause of peace and good will between nation and nation. All those were Implied In the lreedom of exchanges. We talk of free labor; but what is free labor If we are not permitted a free exchange of the fruits ol our labor? One man comes to another and says to lilm, "You shall work only when and where I direct you, and you shall work as long as I direct you." That is naked slavery; It Is justly detested, and we get rUl of it as soon as we can; but under our present commercial system a set ol men come to us and say, "Well, you bave got the products of your labor In a shape proper for sending them to market; I now you shall only sell tliern where we direct, and for prices which we dictate, and if you want goods for tliern you shall take the goods of us and at our prices." Thai Is the sum aud substance of the protective system, the plalu English, the long and short, the proper interpretation of the laws which the protectionists have caused to be enacted for us to live under. How much better is that system than the one which denies us leave to work where and when we please? The same principle of despotism is the ro ot of both; tliey are both shoots from the same baleful stock. But they who were guilty of that usurpation of our rights tell us WIICD we complain lliui are mreu xmuiuiu.

that wc arc paid in British gold. Now, lie asked those present, were they paid to come to the meeting Had they British gold In their pockets He 110 railing accusation against those who made the charge. He might retort by saying that those who have imposed upon the country a system which has destroyed our snipping interest and made Ainerlcun products too dear to be exported, a condition of things greatly to i lie ad vantage of the British far more likely to lie corrupted by British gold than any other class ol men in tins country, out he did not say that. The speaker then alluded to several who had supported the cause of freedom of trade, including Henry Ward Beeeher, Win. Lloyd (Jurrisou, nry Clay, 111 They all remembered how proud they were of lleccher when, during our civil war, he went to England in order to enlighten tlie people of that country In regard to the nature of the great straggle whlclJ we were making to preserve the Cnion.

He honored Mr. Clay for his magnanimity In proposing that tree trade measure more than for any other act of his public life, lie had to make a pulnlul sacrnice Of the pride of opinion, to renounce old prejudices, to disappoint attached' fricuus, to admit practically that the protective system was not the proper policy for our country, lie made ull these sacrifices, these renunciations, these admissions cheerfully and like an honest man. Was Henry Clay paid by British gold? Will the detractors to whom lie had referred say as much and oiler such an insult to Ids memory' Was there any man audacious enough to bespattci his monument with the dirt thrown so freely at us! (Applause.) The tunc had come to follow his exam pie. The protective system will be cause ol bittei dissension In this country as long as it is allowed L.

exist. Its csseuttal element Is injustice, purtiuliir, monopoly, unequal legislation, and it canuot last. It makes dear provisions, dear garments, deal household utensils and farming implements, dear iimiuou ami hiirh rents. It lies heavily upon uh after we get into our gruves, for tlic very wood of which our coffins are made is burdened with the lumber duty. (Applause.) Mr.

kuw aim Atkinson, of boston, next addressed the audience at some length, referring chiefly to what he considered the lattice of the preseut turiif. He contended that in the present posture ol a mors there woe an antagonism between the capitalist and the laborer. An the law now stood there was no protection whatever. There could be no result but iuquaiity and Injustice. There being an inequality In the law there must be an Inequality in the tax, and the profit of one man must come Irom the unjust taxutlon of his heavier burdened neighbor.

He strongly advocated free trade, for It spread universal benefit. The speaker cited several proofs in ns favor; among others that or thirteen hundred thousand operatives nearly one million ol tlieiu were injured liy the protective system. The people, he thought, had endured long, with nrnorani patience, from that system, while it greatly impeded the industry of the country. This present movement was simply freedom. Free speech, free soil, free men, free were the four corner stones upon which they would stand erect upon the broad platform of Justice and equal rights for every man in the community, and then, and only then, could they rightfully claim to be the leaven among (he nations of the earth.

(Applause.) A vote of thanks was proposed to Mr. Bryant, the last speaker, and unanimously passed. Mr. Jawf.s Bkook- siud that a Congressional orn mlttee would shortly consider ttie subject of the present tariff, and unv information relative to it would be gladly received, as the committee would repori to Congress at the opening in December. Then was every hope that a good and acceptable tarltl would reported.

In conclusion, he observed thai tt was a great day for America when the great way was opened to Francisco, a distance of ovei three thousand miles, under one form of govern ment and one series of laws, lie thought It not In opportune to move the following the opening of the great I'arific Bailroad to-day connecting New York and San Francisco, be recog nlrod as a pledge not only for one country, one con Filiation, one destiny, with a duo regard to ttn revenue, but for the freest sort of a trade with ai countries and all continents." (Applause.) Mr. I.irrrk followed, in some remarks upon th present protective system, which he condemned a unjust ami unsatisfactory. 1 lie meeting then adjourned. lRb.tr FIRE Of BROtOHtf. aim lo 970,000.

At ten o'clock both houses agreed to the report of the conference commltees on the city and county tax bills. The reduction in the city tax levy, as It comes from the hands of the committee, Is and in the county levy The report on the city levy passed the House by a vote of to 11, the report ou the county levy by a vote of 88 to 15.

The Senate also concurred in the report, and the tax levies as amended are therefore a flxed fact, which the taxpayers must carry as they can. The scene In the Senate during the discussion this morning on the tax levies was exciting aud earnest. Senator Folgcr proposed that as the committees appointed by both houses hail reported that they could not possibly agree, the question was at an end anil there could be no further action taken on the tax levies. This absurd position was soon abandoned, utiaer pressure of the arguments ol Messrs. Creamer, Tweed.

He shook his linger under tne nose 01 the little senator and declared that every republican In the State would denounce ami revile him that he might as well place himself on the top of a polo to be pelted by the whole people of the State as to accept a position on the committee. Mr. Williams, Uowcver, stood llrm, the Influence brought to bear upon him for the paHt two days being probably strong enough to sustain him against the wrath to come.

A for (500 came off at Irving Hall lust night between John McDevitt, of New York (who held at one tunc the cnnmplon's cue), and Cjrille Dion, of Montreal. They played the French three ball game, soo points, each carront counting one.

There was a pretty fair audicnco present, but seemed small In comparison with the crowds wno flllej the hall afternoon and evemug during the late tournament. The game was opened by Dton, who foiled to count, and failed also on his next two innings. McDevitt made three points on his first inning, and for his next twenty played much better than his competitor, which Is saying very Tittle. Dion in his twenty-nine Innings had failed to count seventeen times, and Mi Devitt eleven. The game up to this point was utterly devoid of interest, many of tllie spectators leaving In apparent disgust.

There was hardly a man present who ever had a cue in his hand but thought he could do as well himself. After.the thirtieth inning ouch player began to do a little better, but McDevitt still kept far In advance of Dion. At the forty-fourth inning the game was called, the score standing McDevitt 101, Dion S3. Alter this Dion began to gain a little, so that at the next call the score stood McDevitt 137. Dion inn.

on his eighty-seventh inning Dion made a run of is, which won him the first applause he had yet received, and closed up the gap considerably: out in Ills next seven Innings he either failed to count or made not more than four points. McDevitt, however, had a run of 2W. much the highest made thus tur. and which again lengthened the distance between the Slaters. Soon alter this the game was cnlled and cDevitt had 20a and Dion 143.

After this McDevitt fell off considerably and, the next call showed him tmt twenty-four points in advance of Dion, and this was reduced to sixteen points on the 130th Inning, at which time the game for the Urst time began to Imk doubtful. Soon afier this McDevitt get In a run of 27, which once mere widened the gap and reassured the friends of McDevitt. But this assurance was of not long duration; for Dion got a good run and begnn to close up again with nearly every inning. McDevitt began to get nervous and piaved Inau uL-ill than Hft liarl luirnrn ulinu llfltr. ever not a run of four, which lefl bun one to get to win the game, and he seemed certain of trotting that in the same run.

as the shot was an easy one. He tried it and loot. Dion followed and brought score up to 298. At this point the excitement was Intense. The balls were so placed that the shot was not difficult one.

Uion, however, was afTected somewhat as McDevttt was. He considered the shot ell before he ventured upon It. but to no purpose. It wa? lost. McOevttt had another chance, and as he advanced to the table the house was deathly still.

It was east to see that he could not make a winning shot. He tried tt, and. as all feared and almost all expected, didn't succeed. Dion had one more chance, and coolness enough to proflr by It. He made I Ills two points, and the game wa? his.

The play was finished at iwentt minutes of one. Such tin the confidence in Mr lyritt at one time that ets on htin ol fifty do.lars to fifteen were without takers. The Towrnnmenl.
