Once you've added a calendar, its events should appear along with other events already on your calendar.

Choosing Colors and Calendar Name:
By default, Google Calendar will choose a random color to use for events in the newly-added calendar, and the calendar will be listed by its URL under "Other Calendars" at the left of the page. You can change the color by hovering over the entry in the "Other Calendars" list, then clicking the triangle which will appear. You can change the name of the new calendar by clicking the same triangle and selecting "Calendar Settings" from the menu. Once you've entered a new name, remember to click the "save" button near the top of the form.
