Arrival Of warren and Costello.

For weeks past the friends Of Irish liberty
in this city have been on the qu vigs for the
arrival of Warren and Costello. two natural
lied Americans Of Irish birth, who were re-
leased from British prison some two
months ago. The common council, several
weeks since, passed an almost unanimous
resolution in favor Of giving them a public
reception on their return; and so confidently
were they expected that meeting at Cooper
Institute, over which Gov. Hoffman was an
nounced to preside, was advertised to be
held on Thursday evening, April 30. This
reception, however, was necessarily post.
poned, as Warren and Costello did not sail
from Queenstown until the 2sth ultimo.
They reached this port yesterday morning In
the British ship Nevada.
One Of the crew being sick with fever the
ship was detained at quarantine, but the
cabin passengers were brought up to the city
In the steam tug John Z. Birkbeck. As the
letters announcing the departure of the ex-
prisoners had miscarrled, their arrival was
quite unlocked for, and thsTe was no one at
the wharf TO meet them. Subsequently they
took a carriage aud droVtlo Sweeny's hotel
on Chatham street-a notable rendezvous
for Irish gentlemen-entered their names,
"John Warren, New York." and "Augustlne
E. Costello, ireland" and then proceeded to
the residence Of Fenlan General VIM, Maggie,
at No. 80 Madison street, with whom they
spent the afternoon, returning TO the hotel
carly In the evening.
A delegation Of ten or twelve gentlemen
called to make arrangements for the public
reception, but nothing could be positively
decided at sucl short notice. 1t Is most
probable that the meeting will be held at
Cooper Institute, on either Wednesday or
Thursday evening, and that Governor HoI-
man, Mayor Hall, and the city authorities
generally, will take active part therein.
Colonel Warren is q man In the prime of
life, but Costello Is still young, apparently
under twenty-five. Both are mustached,
well-built, and good-looking, and in the best
of health and spirits.
The enterprise which resulted In their ar
rest was the attempt, made more than year
since, to convey a cargo Of arms from this
city to Ireland, In little vessel named the
Jackmel. The undertaking failed, and War.
rem, Costello and Maggie, the commander of
the expedition, were all captured. Maggie,
being an American citizen by birth, was set
free, but the other two, being only natural
ised, the English Government claimed juris-
dlctlon over them. This they denied, re-
fused to be "pardoned" as dlsloyal British
subjects, and demanded to be "released" as
independent American citizens, and to this
demand their jailors finally Rcceded.-N Y.

waters, has been directed by the Secretary
of the Navy to keep vigilant watch here

protect not only American citizens but Amer

to prevent American war vessels from search

protect American trade, and not TO modest

that armed Spanish vessels are In the habit
Of searching American merchantmen, moi

insurgcut Cubans. The Department has is
sued the above instructions to prevent such

PACIFIC RAILROAD CoMpItrED
THE LAST SPIKE DRIVEN
EVENT ANNOUNCED 10 THE COUNTRY
One Man H..rs an over On. un,on
Ceremonies ~ Prsrnontory Peant

Yesterday at two o'clock and forty-eight
minutes p. IN, the last spike necessary to
complete the Pacific railroad was driven,
and the Atlantic nnl Pacific were connected
by band OF iron that, IN coming tine, will
work revolution IN the commerce Of our
country. This event, which will mark an
err In our nations history, took place ut
Promontory Point, some one hundred and
eighty miles west Of Salt Lake, and was per-
formed with betting ceremonies.
Preparations had been made TO announce
the precise time at which the event occurred
all over the country simultaneously. The
stations upon the vast network Of wires OF
the Western Union Telegraph Company was
placed by mechanical reporters 10 direct
communication with the operator at Promon-
tory Point, and with the hammer which was
to strike the blow 10 drive tho last spike
home.
Two o'clock, New York time, was the
hour set for the last blow, but owing to some
delay the time was postponed TO 2i85. A
large number Of people wero assembled at
the telegraph office In this city, and we pre-
sumo ct every other office, to witness the an.
nounccment Of this important event.
A little after o'clock the wires wcfc all
in readiness, and after some conversation
between Chicago, Omaha, New York and
Promontory Point, and other stations
Omaha, at 2:25, Washington time, gave tn
order "keep quiet. When the spike I
driven Promontory Point will say done;
don't break but watch"
At 2:30 Promontory Point sent the follow
ing! "Almost ready; prayer is being offered.
The time occupied by prayer seemed to b.
used by the eastern operators for converse
ton upon the subject, and little confusion
was the consequence. Omaha quietcd thi
very soon, and
At $40, "Now they have got done pray
ing and are presenting the spike" cam
from Promontory Point.
At 2:i2, he telcgraphed "The signal give
a minute before the striking Of the first blo'
will be three dots"
Five minutes later, and one, two, thrc

spectators counted the seconds upon the

THE GENERAL LAND OFFIcE.-Commis-
sionGr Wilson, Of the General Land Office,
hast just received returns from the local of
fee at Montgomery, Alabama, showing that
during the month of April last, one hundred
and forty-one farms, embracing 1851 acres,
were added to the productive area of that
State under the provisions of the homestead
laws, which require actual residence upon

Of five years.
The Commissioner has also received from
the United States Surveyor Generals office
at San Francisco the returns fthe survey Of
twelve additional townships in Pima county,
Arizona, embracing an aggregate area OF
27G, 4SO acres. The surface Is rolling and
level, with the exception OF small fractions
In the south and the northeast, where the
land Is high, rocky and mountainous, and
unfit for hnbltation. The soil Of the balance
of the lands Is first, second and third rate,
and mostly suitable for agricultural and
grazing purposes; sage brush, grease wood
and pdlo-Usrtis, with some scattering cactus,
on the Southern part Of the tract. Pure
water may be obtained on this tract In most
places at depth Of 20 feet below the surface

REVENUE From DISTILLED SPTRITs.-
Under the present rate of fifty cents per gal
Ion, it appears from table recently prepared
In the Internal Revenue Department that the
receipts from the tax on distilled spirits are
double that realized under the old tax of Sc.
is shown that the receipts for the FIRST
month under the new law were about the
same as under the old, but the returns for
each succeeding month, to the present time,
show that the revenue thus derived is double
that of the corresponding month under the
81 law. From the reports of assessors which
have thus far been received at the depart
ment, 1t appears that the supervisor law has
proved Of great value to the revenue Of the
country, not only In unearthlng frauds OF
various kinds In commercial transactions,
but in compelling persons to make income
returns.

THAT GOLDEN SPIKE and that silver.tipped
tie, which are to mark the junction OF the
two Pacific railroads, 1t seems TO be supposed
by many will be In danger Of abstraction by
thieylsh hands. Strange as II may appear,
we Incline TO think that they will be safer
out In the wilderness than they would be In
the midst of the older civilizations. Murder,
robbery, all manner of vice and ruiiianism
supcrabound on the frontiers. Life aud
property have to be looked after by lynch
laws and yet there Is a rude, rough sense Of
honor among the most deprayed that will
very likely respect and protect the costly
symbols Of the completion Of the great enter
prise. At any rate we should not care TO be

ADVICE FROM CUBA.-Trustwortby Cuban
adyices received here indicate q determined
effort on the part Of the Spanish forces TO
hold possession Of Puerto Principe and Nue.
yitas, and the railroad between. Quesada
has been pressing them hard, and tho
spaniards found 1t necessary to main
tain connection with the coast,o be hemmed
In at Puerto-Principe. Count Lesca's re-
cent expeditions TO Santa Clara have cost
too much. 1t is believed that the Patriot
General will impede the reopenlng Of the
railroad, to effect which Is the chief object
of the Spanish commander. The Captain
General has found II necessary to disarm
two battallous Of volunteers. The Cubans
declare Gen. Dulce TO be greatly alarmed at
the almost uncomfortable fcrocity OF the
volunteers, fearing that It may compel
American Interference. He has recently re-
newed his attempts to bride leading patriots
into leaving the Island. Gen. Cespedes has
been offered free pass for his family, and
500, 200, If he would abandon Cuba. Gen.
the original force last October, and who has
since proved himself a very useful soldier,
was offered $4,000. These propositions
were made through citizens empowered by
the Captain-General, and were spurned a
once. 1t is declared that some who sought
to accept the profiered amnesty, Issued about
| six weeks since, were recently muir dered by
outposts Of volunteers. Several citizens sus.
pected Of patriot sympathles have been
taken from the Santiago de Cuba Jail al night
and murdered by order Of Dulce's Chief o.
STAFF. The universal sympathy with the
revolution was recently acknowledged by
the Spanish Gen. Miguel Lopez, operating In
the Remedies District. He Issued an address
to the people, inviting them to return ia
their homes, which he owns were abandoned
entirely at the approach Of his column. He
states that the laborers as we'll as the land.
owner alike abandoned their property ia
"wandcr in the woods" the truth being that
all are in the patriot lines. The tone Of al
Cuban adyiccs Is very hopeful, and all rcfei
to pending movements, which promise early
