THE NEW YORK HERALD. WEOLE NO. 7859. MORNING EDITION—WEDNESDAY , MARCH 10, 1858. ‘The Turkish Visiters on a Sleigh Ride. A DRIVE THROUGH BROADWAY AND THK FI¥TH AVI NUK—WHAT THE GUESTS THINK OF THEIR RECEP TION AND THE COUNTRY—INVITATIONS, BTC., BTC. ‘Rear Admiral Mohammed Pacha and his suite expressed the greatest satisfaction with their reception on Monday, ab the hands of tho Mayor, Commons Council and the citi- ‘zene; but as his visit ie more for the purpose of busiiiess than for pleasure, the Pacha desired to remain unmolested yesterday, in order to have time to despatch to his go- vVernment an account of the manner in which he had been veeelved. The comparatively copious fall of snow, how- ever, was 100 great a temptation to be overlooked, and 80 1 was determined by the Committee of the Common Coun- ei] and a few citizens to tender to the Pacha and his suite the offer of a short sleigh ride through the city, for the fweble purpose of carrying out the design of giving the wects an hospitable reception and an opportunity to enjoy the novelty of a aleigh ride, together with a view of the more desirable portions of the city. Messrs, Acker & Colyer kindly tendered to the committee the use of their finest sleigh, with mx spirited horses for fhe occasion, and after much persuasion the Turkish guests were prevailed upon to sccept the invitation to take ashort ride. Accordingty, about three o'clock, tho magnificent turn out drove up to the St. Nicholas, atiract- Img no little attention from the iarge crowd which coon eollected in front of the hotel. The news spread rapiily thet the Turke were going to be treated toaaloigh ride, and by the time that the euite prepared to enter the sleigh an assemblage of several hundred persons had @ollected. The Pacha and his suite were not long in making their appearance, and as thoy / or their seats they were greeted with enthusiastic ch “nich com- piiment was duly acknowledged by tue Pacha ina series ‘ef bows and smiles, combining Oriental courtesy with American appreciation, There were among the imvited guests Rear Admiral Mohammed Pache, Hiaasen Bey , the Turkish Conse, Mr. Oscanyan, the in’er- preter, Alderman Boole, Counc!]man Van Tine, C. T. Mo. @lenachan, T. 8. Nims and others, the romsining”two of the Torkish guests being too much \adispoved !0 attend. As the party drove off they were saluted with enthusiastic beers, which wore duly acknowledged by the Pacha and his suite. Along the route down Brosdway tho party at- tracted the utmost curiosity, and whenever thoy were recognized they were received with a cheering welcome, which must have impressed the Pachawwith a favorable idea of American hospitality. Now a full stage sleigh ead would pass, and as the national fez of the Turk was recognized a genuine democratic “hurra’”’ greeted the guests, while the little boys on the sidewalks threw up their capr, the ladies stared and vowed, and forgot to hold up their skirts, and everybody seemed to wish the party a merry sleigh ride. Now a burlyjbutcher, a jolly cartman, @ramerry stage driver would crack hia whip and cry, “Burrs for the Turks,’’ while the ladies that were driven by im their dashing tarn-outs would bow and smile to the no smail delight of the Pacha, who, in tarn, bowed and smiled, and expressed his delight in unmeasured terms. ‘This was the first sleigh ride of the Pacha, and he maui- novelty of the sport, as m at own Broadway, dexterously meandering through the crowd of ‘vebisles of evory description, the course was taken to the wonderment of ‘the curious spectators who gathered on corner, attracted by the national fez of the Turks, ay turn. out in which they were driven. showe1 ‘@ quantity of chesnuts into the sleigh, whict } Bemtaninnd was received by the mach good humor, aad viewed of course as but an exemplitica- tion of the vational characteristics.

They leave nothing un done which is caleuiated to advance the interests of the object for which the entertainment was designed, All the appliauces brought to bear upon the furtherance and ulti- mate success of the féle are in accordance with the mag- nitude of the undertaking. A large store on Broadway bas been taken as an office for the Executive Committee and for the sale of tickets, while a room in the same building has been fitted up for the accommodation of the numerous gentiemen who ae comprised in the General Committee. The floor of the palace is to be appropriated to the dancers and promenaders; and the five thousand jete of gas—leas only by two hundred in number than the Manhattan Gas Compagy furnish to light their portion of the city—are to be put in good order.

Arremrrep Scuicipe at Tum Tomas.—Yesterday afternoon @ young map named Kingsbury Doris attempted to commit suicide at the Tombs by swallowing a quantity of opium. Doris, it appears, had just been sentenced to five years confinement in the Stats prison, on conviction of burglary, and preferring rather to die in the city prison than to suf- fer five years in ‘‘durance vile,” attempted to put an end to his existence by swallowing a number of opium pills. Two hours after he had taken the poison hiv situation was diseovered by Dr. Covil, who promptly apptied the usual antidotes, and resuscitated the unfortunate youth. Pre- vious to taking the poison, Doris wrote two letters—onean affectionate epistie to his ‘mother, and the other to the warden of the prison—in which he declared his innocence of the crime of which he was convicted. Tae Late Storm yp rms Errecrs.—The snow storm which visited this city on Monday seems to have been rather an extensive affair. It commenced about a hundred miles south of Washington, and we hear of it north of Bos- ton and west as far as Ohio. It was probably 900 miles long, and 300 to 400 broad. Quite a respectable snow storm for the Sth of March. In this city it fell to the depth of some six inches, but was considerably cut up by the vehicles yes- terday. All the city railroad tracks were partially cleared, ‘but double teams were necessary to propel the cars. The railroads running to this city report considerable impe- diments from the snow, but the cars ran pi woll on time. The Now Havenenffered most. The sloi near this city is excellent, and the roads and avenues are jubi- lant with the jingle of bells and the shouts of merry par- ties. The weather remains cold enough to make sleigh- riding enjoyable. Deatn or Doctor WiitiaM ToRveR.—Dr. William Turner, of this city, the well known advocate of the chrono-ther. mal system of medicine, died at his residence on Monday Jast, after a brief illness of three days. Dr. Turner was an active member of the old whig when it was in its glory, and at one time was the Officer for this port. publisbed in his time several works on chrono- thermalism, which, however, did not have any great suc- cess. Acerpest on Tae Honoxey Ferry.—As the Chancellor Livingston was nearing the New York side, yesterday after- noon, & floe of ice struck her radder and knocked Captain Bunce, who was at the wheel, through the sash of the pilot house, inflicting an ugly gash on his upper lip, and medical attendance was Bunce’s wounds were dressed, veyed to his residence.

FSTIMATES FOR THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. ‘The committee on the estimates for the Board of Fdu- cation for 1858—$1,126,013—reported that they returned the estimate to the Board of Education, with the objections that ‘‘the general estimate for the year 1858 of school money; inasmuch as it exceeds the sum authorized by the school law, to the amount of $109,962 81," and that “tho item of $125,000 for arrearages of 1854” exceeds the amount authorized to be levied in the year 1868. The Board of Education have, however, ered to their former action by « two third vote, slightly modifying the appropriation of $125,000 by reducing it to $100,000. The committee therefore recommend that the estimate for the Board of Education for 1858 be confirmed, with the modification of the item of arrearages from $125,000 to $100,000. Adopted. COUNTY JAIL.

The particulars concerning 8 heavy defaloation in the Union Bank, Wall street, involving the sum of $100,000, ‘were made public yesterday afternoon. The ‘rst book- keeper of that institution it appears absconded from the bank on Monday, taking with hima large sum of money. An examination of the books showed that a series of om- Dezzlementa had been gcing on for the last six or eight weeks, and that the bookkeeper was a defaulter to tho tane of $100,000, It appears, as far ax wo nave been able to ascertain, that the attention of the Prosident and cashier of the bank was first called to the dishonesty of the defwulter by detective policeman Josaph Keefe. This officer, it appears, discovered the | okkeeper im the gam- bhng saloon No. 1 Ann street ona certain qcasion. He was then betting freely, and lost a large sum at faro. Tho officer surpected that all was not as it should be, and acy cordingly ne watch d the movements of the individual closely, and found that he freqnently visited the gaming table, losing tens of thousands of dcllars in the course of a few weeke. After carefully weighing tho matter, Keefe devided to inform the President and directors of the bank of the disoovery he had made concerning the ways aud habita of thoir Dookkeeper. Tho officers of the bank wero loth to be- Keve their employé was dishonest, and consequently they delayed an investigation of the case until it was too late. Instead of arresting the defaulter on the spot, they allowed the matter to remain for a few days, when the book. keeper became a'armed at the suspicious glances that were cast upon him, aml took to his heels, leaving the bank in the lurch, On Monday forenoon, about lunch time, the bookkeeper slipped out of the bank, and has not since been heard of. On finding that the suspected party was non est, the President and Cashier examined the books of the bank, when they were surpriged on finding that the defaulter had embezzled sums amounting ip the aggregate to $100,000. They immediately, proceeded to the Mayor's office, and laid the matter before the chie¢ magistrate of the city, but no rolief could be afforded them, A warrant was issued for the apprehension of the accused; but up to last evening the police were unable to find any clue to his whereabouts. There are other parties keep- ing accounts in the bank who are implicated with the do- faulting bookkeeper, but their names have not yet been made public. We withhold the name of the bookkeeper until the matter bas been more fally investigated. The accused is a young man of very respectable connections. Ho was a fast liver, and unfortunatsly for the sake of his welfare was strongly addicted to gambling. SUCCESSFUL BURGLARY IN CHAMBERS STRRRT—FI- TEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF SILKS STOLEN. The burglars arc having rare time. Night after night extensive robberies occur in the lower part of the city, yet tho police remain as incfficient and inactive ag ever. On Monday night a party of expert burglars managed to effect an entrance to the extensive dry goods and silk Jobbing house of Richard Lockham & Co., at 75 Chambers street, Silke and satins valued at $16,000 wero collected together by the burglars and carried off, no one knows whither. The burglars managed to effect an entrance to the premises by moans of false keys, and so adroitly did they perform their work that the matter remained profound secret until yesterday morning, when, upon opening the store, the proprietors found, to their dismay, that they had suffered at the hands of burglars to the tune of $15,000 or more. The police, on being informed of the occurrence, requested the firm to keep the m attera secret, as it would interfore with them, they said, in their efforts to arrest the guilty parties. How and in what manner the publication of the burglary would de- feat the ends of justice we have yet to learn. Certainly the burglars are aware that the police aro on the jook out for , and will not be at all alarmed by any para ek Os ae ee, into the reas a, Lompe consider it all important to keep these interesting items news to themselves, for no other reason than that of con- cealing their own inefliciency. ‘Up to last evening no clue whatever had been obtained as to the whoreabouts of the burglars or the stolen goods. On making an examination of the premises it was found that the burglars had effected an entrance to the first .: of the premires by means of false keys. After gettiug thus fe oreneetek omen ial to the second floor —the one ied by Mosars. & Co.—out their way through ‘ition and thus obiained an entrance. Brncen va. Teurie—Comrtarst Duwraxy.—The com- plaimt for perjury made by August Bergen against Patrick M. Temple, on the 15th of December last, before Justice Osborne, at the Lower Police Court, has beon dismissed, and the accused has been honorably discharged from further attendance in the matter. ws “ ‘Tim Orera.—The second performance of ‘Les Hugue- ‘note’’ is announced for this evening at the Academy, and tt will undoubtedly attract a great house. The great merits of the work, lyrically and dramatically, are mat- ‘ters of history. It is far more elaborate in « dramatic point, and far more scientific in ita musical treatment, than “Robert le Diabie,”” and its frst representation at the Academy on Monday has been pronounced, by the unani- mous voice of the press, to have been unprecedented in the ari history of this country. The several departments were admirably directed. Mr. Anschutz, the conductor of the orchestra, deserves tho particular credit of having given us, for once, a suMfcient force of instrumentalists to properly interpret the score of a grand opera. That force is sixty performers. The mise en scene, under the direc- tion of Mr. Dubreul, has been universally aimired. We have rarely seen 80 fine a coup de théatre as the dueling scene in the third act. The ballet, which is very short, was admirably expressed, and all the surroundings of the scone were gotten up with much taste and lavish expense. Some of the artists seemed oppressed on Monday by the great importance of their parte—for they are all, from the highest to the lowest, written for good artiste, and the representation to-night will undoubtedly be much better. But if there was nothing but Formes’ fine acting and spien- did singing in Marcel, that would redeem the performance. Personal Intelligence. Gronor W. Marsxi., ex Chief of Police, who haa just ro- turred from the West , where he resides, paid a visit to hin Honor Mayor Tiemann yesterday morning, the Mayor giving him a most hearty welcome. A large number of the old police force were present, among them several captains. He will remain in the city until the first of June. Captain Isaiah Rynders, United States Marshal of the Southern District of New York; Governor Willard, of In¢ diana; A. J. Harlan, late member of Congress from In diana; and ¢x-Governor J. ©.
