The asylum buildings are situated on the block between Sixty-eighth and Sixty-ninth streets and Third and Lexington avenues. Great care has been taken to distribute in their embodiment and arrangements all the latest improvements recom- mended by the most reliable authorities on archi- tecture and ventilation. The administrative build- Ing, five stories nigh, is placed on the centre of the ~ Jot, facing Sixty-eighth street. In the basement of this building are the kitchen, dining room and oMfices—the ‘‘créches” for the reception of infants being under the archway of the stoop leading to the main story, easily ac- cessible from the street. On the first floor are to be found the principal offices, parlors and reception room for visitors, the community room and apartments of the resident phygician. In story the Sisters’ apartments are to be found, as also sewing and linen rooms, The third, fourth and fifth floors are divided up into dormitories and an infirmary for the little wails ‘who may be fortunate enough to come under the motherly care of the good Sisters. Connected with this building, and to the north of it, is the chapel, in the basement of which will ‘be the playroom. On the firat story is a large room dedicated to school and exhibition purposes, and above this the chapel, Parallel with these buildings and on both sides of them will be the ward houses, with roomy pavil- fons at the ends, making @ total length of 160 feet, One of the ward buildings is now completed, and is placed at a convenient distance trom its fellow, so as to allow an ample cit culation of a current of air and the sun’s Tays to have unimpeded access around it. The ward rooms are to be 30x90 ieet in dimensions. The south pavilion contains, on either story, a room for the Sister in charge of the adjoining ward, a linen room, two private apartments, a closet and bath. The north pavilion has, on each story, the children’s lavatory, a small kitchen, a steam drying laundry and a closet and bath for nursery purposes. In the basement, under the ward buildings, the physicians’ offices, dispensa- Ties, Nebel | pariors, nurses, sewlug and store rooms small Kitchens and closets are located. In the middle of the lot at Sixty-ninin street is placed a two-storied building, 31 feet deep by 90 Jeet front, to be connected by corridors with-the ‘ward building. In the first story wili be put the principal laundry, a large steam drying room and 4 great kitchen for the general uses of the esiab- ‘lishment. In the basement are the cellar, ice vault, storerooms, engineers’ rooms and coal bins. The west side of this wing will contain sleeping apartments for the hired help, and all the eastern part o/ it will be dedicated to purposes of quaran- tine, completely isolating this section from the children’s wards. The mortuary receiving vault ‘will be in a wing of tne cellar under the north end of the chapel building. The entire establishment is to. be heated by steam, generated in tubular boilers, to be located in @ vault under the pavement or Sixty-ninth street, where there will also be the engine and con to supply the reservoir tank, placed at the ighest part of the main building, irom whence the ~water will be distributed to the upper stories ‘above the Croton level. Closets, baths, lavatories, &c,, are conveniently placed in ail of the buildings.

A CENTENNIAL HOTEL, ‘Proposition to Build a Huge Caravan- sary for the pial \Wisitors. Cent Exposition PHILADELPHIA, Oct, 18, 1873. A very important, though informal, conversa- ‘tion took place in the Centennial Commissioners’ rooms this evening which to the public will, no doubt, be of exceeding interest. It bears directly upon the erection of a hotel for the accommoda- tion of visitors during the season of the great Ex- position, and, though nothing definite has as yet been arranged, there can be no doubt that the colloquy to-day will essentially be attended with practical results. Mr. Goshorn, Director Generai of the American undertaking; John Wanva- maker, an enterprising and wealthy merchant ot pitts city and other prominent parties were pres- ent, and the meeting, wt. impromptu and brief, was highly annimated and spirited throughout. Mr. Gosnorn, who has just returned froma long visit at Vienna, is heh oo’ imbued with-the im- mense importance of immediate action in this di- wection; while from his official observations in Aus- tria and bis constant supervision over all the fea- tures instituted there for public comfort and con. venience he is well fitted to prescribe the require.

TELEGRAM TO THE KEW YORK HERALD, PARI, Oct. 18, 1873. Upon the resumption of the Bazaine trial, at Trianon, to-day, the interrogation of the Marshal was continued. In answer to an inquiry why he did not destroy the forts and the war material before surrendering to the Germans, he replied that he feared the enemy would take revenge ifhe did so. Besides, the labor was too great. Duke d’Aumale, President of the Court, asked him what greater rigor could the enemy have shown than was imposed? Bazaine replied in an evasive manner that “such @ destruction was unexampled; besides, he thought that Metz would revert to France.” In reply to other questions in relation to the flags the Marshal maintained that he publicly and distinctly ordered them to be destroyed. His orders were to have them all brought to the arsenal for immediate destruction. This concluded the examination of the Marshai by the President. Bazaine afterwards made a statement complain- ing of his book on Metz being treated as a justi- ficatory memoir, when the truth was it was written from memory only, without consulting any documents. The Governmental Commissary interrogated him as to his knowledge of his wife’s whereabouts, and asked him how he kuew her address in September was at Tours. Bazaine, in answer, said he ascertained it from a German newspaper, and subsequently from a Ger- man officer. SPAIN. Cabinet Reclamation to France—Compliment to the American Minister.

CHILE. Fire in Valparaiso—Losses sf Life and Property. PANAMa, Oct, 6, 1873. The latest news from Chile reports :—There has been a great fire in Valparaiso, between Maypu and Victoria streets. It originated in the house of Sefior Vega, 35 Calle de Jaime. The building de- stroyed was insured in the Compania Nacional for $22,000. A store, belonging wo M. Lacassie & Co., Was also insured jor $55,000, About nine or ten persons lost their lives by the failing walls, The Great Tenor in Opera and Concert. Signor Tamberlik sang in opera and concert yes- terday at the matinée of “Il Poliuto,” at the Grand Opera House, and at the concert given at the Church of the Disciples in the evening. On no other occasions since his first appearance in this country did his great talents become so apparent. His rendering of Donizetti’s music was marked with that artistic finish that seems to be a quality exceedingly scarce on the operatic stage of to-day. Tamberlik is the last of a noble band of singers, who, unbappily, have no other representatives at the present time. In him nature and art seem to have ‘ormed a partnership and to have moulded out of the choicest materials of their vast workshop aconsummate singer, and experience has tem- pered these materials until perfection has been attained. -A timid debutant at the time when there lived a race of operatic Titans, of whom after- wards he might say, with Aineas, “Quorum magna pars fui,” he won his way to the highest pinnacle of fame ina single season. Time has not laid its hand so heavily on him as td prevent, at the present day, his hearers from learning what true art means and what nature in proper subjection can do in the lyric world. The principal charm of Tamberlik’s talents is the utter abnegation of sell. He represents a rdle so thoroughly that his individuality is for the moment lost in it. Whether he appears in the white robes of the Christian martyr, the doublet of the son of Melchtal, the gorgeous raiment of the Prophet, the princely attire of the Troubadour, the barbaric splendor of the Moor or the sable garments of the Master of Ra- venswood, he does not for an instant intrude his individuality upon the audience. His noble voice responds to each expression of emotion or passion a8 readily to-day as it did twenty yearsago. It may be shorn of its pristine electric power, but there is stilla leaven of magnetism in its tones. As for his school, it is one to which the young tenors of the day might come and receive valuable lessons. It must be a source of sincere regret to every lover of music that the shortness of the sea- son at the Grand Opera House prevented Signor Tamberlik irom appearing in those rdles with which his name will always be tdentifled—Arnoldo, Manrico, Othello, Masanielio and the Prophet. He has been, through circumstances, deprived of the opportunity of showing the public of the metropo+ lis of America the grandeur of his art. Wnat he has done it is now our province to discuss. The opening aria ior the tenor in “Poliuto,” a very effective melody by stigelli, which was writ- ten expressly for Tamberlik, and which mainly de- pends upon passionate expression and broad phras- Ing for success, was delivered yesterday in a style that was simply periect, The bold de- fiance of the wrath of Rome and the over- turning of the altar of Jupiter were delinea- ted with startling power, and the last interview with Paulina was a dramatic as.wellas musical success. The beautiful aria “Siolgoro divino raggio,’”’ has never been invested here before with the tenderness and devotional spirit that Tamber- lik gave it yesterday. Although this aria and the grand duo in the last act constitute generally salient points for the tenor, yet the completeness of Tambérlik’s art made them’ only component parts of a faultless impersonation. The smallest recita- tive received as much attention at his bands. In this opera he had the valuable assistance of Mme. Lucca, of whose Paulina we have already spoken. In cencert Signor Tamberlik is no less im- pressive than im opera. Last evening, at the Church of the Disciples, with Mme. Lucca, Jamet, Wieniawski and Berge, he appeared beiore a large audience. He sang the well-known “Cujus Ani- mam,” irom Rossini’s “Stabat Mater,’ with a smoothness, as well as nobility of delivery and style, @ due regard to. the nwances of expression and an intelligibility of phrasing that gave this well worn concert aria a new significance. But in the delightful “Ave Maria” of Gounod he won an unmistakable triumph. lt was admirably suited to his broad, expressive style, and his voice seemed to be aflame with its old power, as, buoyed up by the obligato of Wieniawski’s violin, it rang out in trumpet tones. The vaiue of Signor Tam- berlik’s art cannot be overestimated. It uniocks hidden treasures in an opera of whose existence many experienced habitués have no idea, tones down certain rough elements in a réle, gilds and freshens the most striking airs and situations, and paints a harmonious picture, not an incongru- ous mass, The autumn of his voice is more de- lightiul than the midsummer of his successors. His art prevents him irom aiming at individual effects, and yet be isatenor distinguished toreffect. KI- fect with him, however, is the natural sequence of | conscientious art, and forms a necessary Ornament in @ harmonious lyric structure, MUSICAL AND THEATRIOAL NOTES, The “Black Crook,” in its present guise, will run only for another week. It is then to be recon- structed in every particular. Sefior Delgado, a celebrated Mexican violinist, of the Vieuxtemps and Wieniawski order, will make his début in New York next week. Mr. Lawrence Barrett has recovered from his re- cent sickness and will appear at the new Park Theatre, Brooklyn, to-morrow evening in ‘Julius Cesar.” A very funny act, called “The Conspirators; or, Mme. Angot’s Kids,’ is being performed by Bry- ant’s minstrels, It is making something of a “Shoo Fly” sensation. Mr. Sothern played Lord Dundreary, in “Our American Cousin,” at Wallack’s last night for the first time this season. It will hold the stage during the week. Next week Mr. Lester Wallack ap- pears, On Monday evening Offenbach’s “Mons. Chon- feuri” will be produced in English by the Oates Company at the Olympic Theatre. The week fol- lowing Robert McWade appears at this theatre as Rip Van Winkle. At the matinée of “Poliuto” yesterday, at the Grand Opera House, Mme. Lucca made a genuine success by her singing an ariafrom “Don Sebas- tian,” by Denizetti, in the first act. It was sub- stituted for the regular aria in the score of the former opera, AQUATIC. + Grand Four-Oared Shell Race. ‘The annual contest between the Argonauts and Neptunes yesterday, for the championship of the Kill von Kall, was won by the former, amid in- tense excitement, in 15 min, 49% sec. It was 2 close struggle throughout, and won by eight lengths, PROM UTAH. An Immense Quantity of Bullion Locked Up. SALT LAKE Crry, Oct, 18, 1873.

A Custom House Agent Knocking Down— Swindling Employers for the Sake of a Woman—How and Why Brokers Semetimes Furnish Houses—A Clever Detection. The latest phase in swindling 1s an amusing one on account of the amount of savoir faire which must be possessed by the chévaiier win dustrieé who embarks upon the peculiar sea of speculation, It is usual for business firms. that import goods largely to employ the ser- vi of a ‘Custom House broker,” who acts as an ayent in their behalf, and attends to the clearing of goods through the Custom House. Frederick S. Beck is one of these brokers, and he has been for some time employed to effect clear- ances by Messrs. Koch, Son & Co., who are im- porting stationers at 156 William street. A little while ago Mr. Koch became imbued with the idea that they were being cheated by thelr agent, and he thereupon determined to engage the services of Detectives Mooney and Boland. These astute mouchards WENT TO WORK QUIETLY, and soon discovered Mr. Beck’s private residence, and ascertained from the Messrs. Koch’s Custom House Memoranda that he had been systematically swindling the firm. The manner in which Beck played “1 little game’ was this, He raised his employers’ ante as iollows :— On September 18 he cleared at the Custom House fourteen cases of albums, upon which he paid duty in gold to the amount of $1,031, and for which he charged Messrs. Koch $1,304 85. On October 3, two eases albums, legitimate duty $26 15, charged $59 85. October 8, eleven cases albums, duty $725 76, charged $1,225 76. October 11, four cases dibums, duty $463 05, charged $663 05. ‘Mooney and Boland discovered the discrepancy while overhaul- ing the accounts of Messrs. Koch at the Custom House, and they “geacowien mr. Beck, until they deemed the right time ar- rived lor the strong right arm of the law to inter- cept him in the pursuance of his nefarious amuse~ ment. Beck was highly indignant at the mere idea of “a man o1 his character and respectability” being arrested, but ne wilted like autumn leaves when Mooney exhibited positive proois of his guilt. Then he wanted “mercy,” and volunteered to do everything in his power to reimburse the firm he had detrauded. He confessed to having ‘‘chiselled the Kochs” out of about $300 in August last, acknowledged the whole ear of corn and begged forgiveness. He gave @ bill of sale on the furni- ture i a fine brown stone mansion up town, which he has lately furuished as a temporary paradise for A FAIR LADYE, whom he essayed » “protect.” Beck isa young man about twenty.six years of age, and wears luxuriant whiskers. He did business in the Cus- tom House Rotunda, and, as he was agent for sev- eral other fifms, itis probable that other charges can be made and sustained against him. Detective Mooney took his prisoner beiore Justice Bixby, who caused bis incarceration in the Nineteenth precinct station house, in Fifty-ninth street, The prisoner will be brought up tor examination on Monday. the Camp Floyd Mill.

That on or about, August 25 a draf; belonging to the State, drawn by the Merchants’ National Bank of Poughkeepsie, for $15,000, om the National Bank of the Commonwealth, in: the city of New York, endorse@ payable te State Treasurer Raines, was by Pheips ‘fraudulently endorsed, payable to Charles Hudson, cashier, and by him wrongfully. | sine and applied to the use of Sherwin & Co.,. | wit LIKE CORRUPT KNOWLEDGE OF SAID SHERWIN. That on orabout the llth of September last. the State owned drait No. 79,423 for $20,000, drawn by the Merchants’ and Mechanics’ National Bank of Buffalo ef the Merchants’ National Bank of | New York to the order of the Comptroller, by the Comptroller endorsed payable to the order of de- Pama Raines, a8 State Treasurer, and by Deputy ‘reasurer Fulton Paul endorsed as payable to Charies Hudson, cashier. That Phelps appropriated this and transmitted it to Hudson, who collected | itand applied itfor the benefit of Sherwin & Co., said Sherwin intending and contriving thereby with said Phelps to wrongfully Sra the property of the said State of New York. DEPUTY TREASURER PAUL'S AFFIDAVIT states that he affixed his signature to the two Buffalo drafts, when presented to him with others by Pheips, who prepared the endorsements; that deponent supposed he was endorsing them in | favor of one of the Albany banks authorized to | hold the deposits of State moneys, and | was prevented from noticing that the endorsements were filled out in favor of Hudson by the number of drafts which were brought for his signature at one time by Phelps, who was cashier in the Treasurer's effice, and in charge of the State securities and bank accounts: that the dra{ts were passed to Hudson without the ‘knowl- edge or assent 01 deponent. ATTORNEY GENERAL BARLOW’S AFFIDAVIT states that on the 17th of October inst. he con- versed with Frank R, Sherwin in the city of New | York, who statea to him that on or about the 24*h of July last Phelps opened an account with Sher- win Co. in the name of Charles H. Pheips, cashier. He deposited that day $200, and there- alter such sums a5 $1,000, $2,500, $17,000, $18,000, $25,0CO and $42,C00; that this last amount, which was his last deposit, was on the 13th of September, and, as appeared by the deposit ticket, contained two items of $20,000 each, which were | drafts endorsed by the Deputy State Treasurer; that some of the drafts bore the signature | of C. H. Phelps, cashier. The affidavit charges that defendant Sherwin knew these transfers were braced some ten or twelve items of deposit, amounting to about $151,050; that the whole, or substantially the whole, oi said sum has been with- drawn from Sherwin & Co., by Phelps, by or before the 27th of September last. One item with- } drawn was -by a certificate of deposit in | the Bank of North Americ&. for $25,000. ‘ihere were among the checks, on the Ist of Sep- tember, $25,000; September 6, $50,000; September 20, $40,000, and September 27, $10,000, All these | checks were signed by Phelps as cashier. There were other small checks signed Charles H, Phelps without the addition of “cashier.” That Phelps stated to Sherwin that he made good to the State | the sums withdrawn by him for private account by | repayment from his own money. THE ARREST OF SHERWIN, Mr. Sherwin was taken at his banking office, | when he expressed no surprise. He asserted entire | confidence in bis ability to find the required bail,and | was at once taken by officer Erb to tue Sheriif’s | office in the New Court House, where Specia! Deputy D. G. Gale took charge of him under the orders of | Deputy SherifJarvis. During all the afternoon and evening Sherwin made fruitless efforts to find surities. He was taken at. dark to the house of Deputy Sheritf Jarvis, in East Thirty-fifth street, and thence conveyed at, eleven P. M., to the Lud- low Street Jail, where he remains, Sherwin has been before the public: to some extent as a daring financial operator tor some six years. At the time the. Maison Dorée, in Four- teenth street, was closed he took a lease of the building and undertook to. astenish New York by dry goods operations. In a very short time the Sheriff was in possession. ‘Subsequently | he was connected with what he styied | “the Vienna Syndicate.’ He has been in the bank- | ing business at Nos. 78 and 80 Broadway for some | two years. He took the demand made against him on behalf of the State as a matter of insignicant ac- count, professing to believe that he can fully vin- dicate himself when the matter comes to a trial. He has a family residing at Flushing. A RIVER STEAMER BURNED. The Mississippi Boat Mary E. Poe De- stroyed by Fire=Six Lives Lost and | Many Persons Injured—Heroism of the Pilot.
