In the eventog there wasa general iliumin.tion, preceded by atorchlight procession of the Fire Departmant. And thas wasclosed ‘the celebration. ‘We have seen royaland imperial /ites in Europe. They were, perbaps, more artictio in their details than our cable celebration of yesterday, but they lacked its spon- tanetty and cheery aspect. We walked from the Bowling Green to Fourteenth street yesterday, through at least a hundred and fifty thousand persons, »nd saw mot the slightest attempt at any thing lite rowdyiem or vulgarity. Everybody seemed heppy, contented and jolly. O!d ols were forgotten, and hand met hand after trapcoonds description. Every availiable and even un- available place was secured lorg before hand, and from the Battery to Union place one was obliged to ran a gauntlet of eyes more effective and more dangerous than ay artillery battery. This display of femaie beauty, conjoined to the great array of flags, banners sad mot- foes, made us think of s Roman carnival.

Next to them in point of popular favor, cane the military. The crack infyntry regimente—the Seventh and Seventy first—never leoked better, and recetved much applause, The crowd upon Broadway was so great that the militazy had much difficulty in getting through i, and so the proce sim ws somewh t retarded. ‘There was much pushirg, crowtling and some litle Swearing; but, for the saice of the cable, both the specta, tors and the soldiers were willing to stand a great desi’ So masters farned out well in the ond, and the Orystal Palace was reached in safety, a little behind time, 1t nigh’ one would suppose the crowd would lessen. Not 80. The illuminations, the fireworks, the many colored ian- terns and the general gas and spermaceti demenstrations gave to Broadwiy « carnavaleaque appearance whioh it is aimoet impossible to describe, Beginning with the clever derign of the New York Ciub down to the Park, there was # succession of fluminations and transparencies of every possible sort. The great bazaars vied with cach other in the number and variety of their mottoes and de- sigue, both for day and night; but passing by all of them, we were especially struck with the following distich on the sideof s car:~ With wild huzzas now let the welkia ring ; Columbia's got Brittania on a s:ring. ‘There were others more elabora‘e and expensive but mon? more expressive than the above. The firemen’s torchlight parade concluded the day’s feativities. It was exceedingly beautiful; and as the long Mine moved through Broadway, surrounded by an enthu siastic crowd on every side, and lighted by thousands of torches, candies and colored lanterns, one might easily Dave tmagined himself in a fairy land. It was long after midnight before the great assembiage dispersed, and even then the strests did not reeume their wonted aspect. Al- though the ferries, the Harlem and new Hariew railroads ani steam’oate made extra trips at Inte hours, and other means of exit from the city were provided, jet many people werefunable to get awsy or to fad lodg- ings im town. The fact is, that a) avalanche of people descended upoa us, and New York was crushe! for once; bat we do not lay Atisatic cables every day. We subjoin the detailed accounts of oar reporters, co ‘ver ing the events of the day. THE DETAILS OF THE DAY. ARRIVAL OF THE OFFICERS OF THE GOR- GON AND INDUS. The officers of the British Navy, of the Gorgon aud Jodus, to whom invitations bad been sent by the commit- tee, arrived yesterday morning by the Fall River boat, at pler No. 4 North river, There were not many perscns Present. In consequence of the official engagements of Alderman McSpedon requiring his presence at other parte of the clty, he deputed Warren Leland, xq , to receive the gentlemen and conduct them to the Metropolitan Hotel, where spartmeats had beon provided for their accom motation. Ehortly alter eight o'clock the steamer arrived, and Mr. Leland immediately boarded her ani welcomod the gon- Wemen to ihe city. Lord Napier accompanic! the rite officers, whose names are es follows from the GORGON, THE COMPANION OF THE NIAGARA. Leptain Daymab, R. N. Bart Gimletie, M.D. Lieatenante—-Count Viscomte, B. Mitchel’, A. T. Ny Roberts aud I, B, Butler, Captain William Rose Hall, R. N. ‘Lisuterante—Hugh Davis, L. A. Boil, JosboaC. Cole, A$ A, Trainor, P. C. Jounstoae end A. T. Kingston. Mr. Leland immediately led them to the carrisges is ‘waiting, and the party proceeded to the hotel, where Al- dermaa Mc3pedon rece!ved them, an! addressed them in appropriate terms. He welcome: them to the city of New York, snd on the part of the Corporation extended to them the entire horpitalities of the city, as a slight tokea of the appreciation of their great and distinguished ser- vices in the advancement of the great ssientitic enterprise they were about to celebrate that day. The offlcore ro sponded tn euttadle terms, when they retired to the Drenkfast room, and slorly aller proceoded to join in the procession. THE RECEPTION AT THE BATTERY, ARRIVAL OF MR. FIELD, TH® OFFICERS OF THE NIAGARA AND THE BRITISH OFFI CERS—WHAT WAS DONE WITH THEM. ‘The firet part of the programme drawn up by the Com- ncn Cyuneil Commites for the great celebration, was the 1 ‘eption of Mr. Cyrus W. Field, the officers of the Nia- gers the Gorgon and the Indus, at the Battery. Acvord- ug te the oficial appownoement this woe to take place at half pset one o'clock ; bat long before that hour crowd, nonebering at lenet ‘ifleon thoussad persons, of a'l ages ana conditions in life, were aeeembicd around Castle Gar. den and in the stroets adjacent to the Battery, The wea- ther was culogized by every one, and 't certainly deserved ‘all that was said in its favor, There were, it le true, somo few who enid t was too warm; but they belonged (9 that discontented class of mortals who are never eatiefied and who take a melancholy pleasure in finding fault with evory thing. But it was just the day for the great masses; and when they were satised, who bas « right to com plain’ They had turned out to do honor to the occasion and to see tho men who laid the cable; and although when they did see them they might not have been able to tell exnotly who did lay it, still they exw all who were engaged in the work; and that was some thing. They aro, doubtless, content te leave that Matter to history, and to learn from it who are justly on- titled to the credit, We have said that all ages and condi tions were represented, but when we have sald that, wo bave notenid all. There wore ne'ivos of simomt every conmtry under the sun, and im this respect the crowd may be regarfed as emblematic of that uvioa of all races which is to be the grand result of the great enterprise. There, too, wore the military, with their bright arms glistening in the sun, and the crowd amused themeel vow looking at them till the arrival of the men of the expediticn. Tt was enid that thoy would come in the Niagara, which was to be towed up from the Navy Yard and avchor eff the Battery, but ae the ship is at present out of commission, and conseqnentiy without @ crew, it was vory properly decided thet she sho should remain where sho is, and that her eet those of the Gorgon and Indus shoult come in © steamboat. The crowd, however, knew nothing of suis ar- rangement, and were csgeriy looking out for the ap. pearance of the vessel. One o'clock came, but with it no Niagara. Sti!l thore waa time enoagh, and the people kept ‘8 bright look ont until t became evident thet this part of the programme would have to be passed over. At half. past one there waa a long tine of carriages up Gesonwioh street, a considerable number of which were intended for the expected gneste, The managing Oommittes of the Common Coanell, headed by the Mayor en’ scoompanied by Mr. Peter Cooper, Mr, Wilton G. Hant, 0" Deohe and several other centiemen, arrived just about that time, arf entering Castle Garden, awaited the arrival of the stewn- boat which was to convay the gentiomen alroady reforred to, Adout « qoartor tojtere, the Which J* at presoat tying out in Der ports and fired a satute of twenty-one guns, aud 2090 after the long expected steamer was seen coming down by pier No. 1, North rtver, towrrds Onetie Gardea. laa few ‘minutes she was close alopgside, and m afew minuice more Mr. Field, walking arm in arm with Captain Daymen and followed by Mr. W. E. Everett, tho offisera of the Niagara, the Gorgon and the Indus, stepped ashore. Mr. Fielp ‘then introduced Captain Dayman to Mayor Tiemann, after Which the officers wero algo introdused to the Mayor and the other gentiomen proven'. It was ® different scene from that presented in Trinity Bay on the eveutfal morn- ing of the Sth of Augim. There were no crowds there 69 receive the men who laid the cable, and the few electri cians who lived at the telegraph station bad given up all hope of ever roving the Niagara in those waters. The conntry in which tney landed wae a perfect wilderness, and the only spestatore were the electriciane and the off) cers and crews of the Niagara, the Gorgon and the Por- cupine. But there was no want of enthusiag=:; acd when the cable was landed s¢ efx o'clock that morving, the cheers that greeted the successful ascomplieh- ment of the work seemed to rend the very skies, aad awakened the echos that had been slumbering among those pine clad mountaine for ages. It was a scene euch as few men are permitted to behold—atcene such as the world never witnessed before, But we are baginniag to forget we are in Castle Garden now, and not !n Trinity Bay, although in the company of the men who laid or as- sisted in laying the cabi2, And before procsediag further with our report, let us sey a fow words about chose sais cable layers. There is Mr. Fleld—and if the public are Rot acquainted whh bie pi reoual appearance betore ihie, ié is certainly not the fault of the printaellers aad the largo arney of portrait venders, who have been piraiiog the tree's of our chy for days past. Every@edy woows or ovgbt to know who he is, and they do hia m‘hing more tban simple justice when they give bim ihe ‘rat position im the great enterprise. Next to Kr. Field io Mr. W. E Rverett, who designed and supervised tho construction of the maciixery that laid the cabie. ‘Waa’ Mr. Field did for the organiaetion of the enteapmize, Mr. Everett ¢id for the practic: | work of rubmorcing the line, by the removal of the many mechanioal diffioalties that stood in the wey. Ae Mr. Field is the man who orge- ised the enterprise, so is Yr. Everest tho mia who, by by bie phil! and engenuliy «son snginesr, carried t ‘om successful termination; and no one can deprive either of ‘the fame and the credit which justly belong to them. Captain Hudson was not among those who wore on the g@vamer, th ough some mistake of the common Council committee, but he was at the services in Trinity Church; and as the Captain is a religious man, we snppose he did Bot regret the mistake. It is almost needless to state a fact that is so well known already, that he was the com- meander of the Niagara, and, acting in tha! capacity, no did all in his power, so far as the msragement of the shia wae concerned, to assist Mr. Everets, who, tm connection wih Mr, Woodhouse, the English engincer, super. yvoed the mecbanieal operation of paying out, which was the material and most important part of the work.

Greou, Grinnell, Hey, and Licuienant Boyd, of the marine corpr, were absent. Bostdes Ceptain Deyman, of the Gorgon, there were Lieutenants Mitchell and Butler and Dr. Gim- Jette and Paymaster Roberts, all of whom belong to the came vesul, (These gen ‘ema, with the ofli- cers of the Niagara, formed in the procession that walked vita the catle up the hill that leads from too landing plaeo in the Bay of Bull's Arm to the telegraph etation.)
