BERLIN LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent

BERLIN, Sept. I'd, 1879
Nine years ago exactly tonight the heights
around the fortified city of Sedan, in France,
near the Belgian frontier, we're REDEEMED with
the glowing watchfires Of over 100000 victo.
rious German troops and as King William of
Prussia, with his staff, rode through the lines
of his invnclble legions encompasslng the foe
IN the town below, he was greeted with loud
and enthusiastic shouts, which sounded the
death.knell Of one Empire and heralded the
birth or regeneration of another. On the I'd
OF September 1870 the German speaking ma.
tons of Europe entered on distinctly new
and hopeful phase of existence, with the House
Of lIohenzollern at their head and that day,
therefore, throughout all Germany, but espe.
cially in Prussia, has come to be regarded as
the most solemn and significant festival in the
whole national calendar. Here IN Berlin Itself
the day has been celebrated with no abatement
Of the usual observanCes. The eager money
changers torsook the Bourse, the schools were
closed, a solemn liturgy was reclted IN the ca
thedral, the citizens ran up many -cOlorcd flags
above their dwellings, and were treated to pa
trlotc music from a choral band stationed
high upon the town-housc tower; the streets
were thronged with holiday makers, monster
military concerts have been inaugurated and
even as write the night air is deafcnngly
alive with the clang of brass and the noise OF
exploding rockets, bearing no faint rescm-
bance TO the roar of those multitudinoas
guns which nine years ago today engirdled
the city of Sedan, bringing inevitable doom
TO the Man of Destiny and nearly 100000
brave troops commanded by a Marshal of
France. But the leading feature in today's
festive programme was undoubtedly the great
parade, when the Emperor passed in review
the united garrisons of Berlin, Potsdam and
Spandau, forming the Army Corps of :he
Guards. Ever since the fateful ID of Scptcm.
Der 1870 a military demonstration Of this kind
has slgnalized each anniversary of that day.
AT early morn the streets here began to echo
with the tramp and clang Of troops marching
to the parade.ground south of the city. The
Emperor's Palace, Inter den Linden, was ear.
ly besieged by an enthusiastic crowd which
had gathered to witness the ccremOnious re.
iception of the various colors and standards by
detachments Of the various regiments. These
honored symbols, when not in use, are deposi.
ted In His Majesty's apartments, where they
are displayed as the most precious and sug-
gestive ornaments that can strike the eye Of d
visitor. Much enthusiasm was created by the
arrival of Prince William, eldest son Of the
Crown Prince (who but lately finished his stu.
dies at Bonn, at the head Of company of the
Foot Guards, TO fetch away the ridiled ind
ragged colOrs of various regiments, and the
old Emperor's features beamed with visible
satisfaction as he beheld his martial grandson
proudly step off by the side Of the helmeted
men chosen to guard the boarded treasures.

That WATERBURY BRIDGE.-The Central
Vermont railroad won an important suit in
Boston, on Thursday. In 1874, the iron
railroad bridge over the Wincoski river near
Waterbury, iell through while undergoing
test, after its completion, but previous to
its acceptance by the railroad company
from the contractors, and the railroad COM
pany had to reconstruct the bridge at con-
siderable expense. putting in new iron and
making it thoroughly safe. The contractors
is Bc,tOn refused to make good the damage,
ard suit was entered in the Suffolk county
superior court. The witnesses were scatter
ed and the testimony hard to collect, and
after several years and many legal delays,
the railroad company succeeded in securing
evidence showing bad faith and breach Of
contract on the part Of the builders. The
court at Boston. on Thursday last. gave
judgment in favor of the railroad for
S25 900 and costs, which virtually ends the
case and records a great victory tor the
railroad. while the decision will be Of i'm
portance as a precedent in similar cases
which may arise when contractors fail to
fulfil the terms of agreement.
