RELIEF FOR TUB AVONVALE SUF FERERS. TflE mOYPmcnt commenced in this city iy the appointment of George II. Btuart as agent, and the meeting at the Commercial Exchange, for the collection of funds for the relief of the families bereaved by the Avondale tra gody, will, we hope, meet with a liberal re sponse from every generous Thilndelphian. The destitution of the dependent widows and orphans is heightened by the long strike which brought them to the verge of starva tion, and doubly stricken now, by want and the sudden loss in the most dreadful manner of the strong arms that would have gladly provided for their necessities, no feeling heart can resist their touching claims to compassion ' and relief. If anything could increase the moral justice of tendering to them prompt and liberal aid, it would be the consciousness that the State, notwithstanding the vast ex tent of its mining operations, has neglected to provide the safeguards against these terri ble disasters which the experience of other countries has shown to be highly useful. If we had no building inspectors in Philadel phia, lives would constantly be jeopardized here by imperfect and dangerous structures; but, in the mining regions, where the dan gers are intensified a hundred-fold, no legis lation interposes to protect the under ground toilers from the thousand perils interwoven with their dangerous avocation, and it is left to the cold consciences of capi talists and corporations whether they will or will not make the expenditures necessary to grant important guarantees to human life. We devoutly hope that this long deferred duty will not be neglected by the next Legis lature, but meanwhile the latest victims of nu imperfect and perilous mining system should not be left starving in the midst of their sorrows. Every consolation that pecuniary aid can give should be bestowed with a liberal hand, and the rugged pathway of the stricken wives and little ones should be smoothed by all the help that money can bestow. FAIL URE OF TIIE ROYAL A L MSIT LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. John Boll has recently been terribly swin dled by the collapse of one of the leading life assurance companies of England, the Royal Albert. It was started more than thirty years ago, on a nominal capital of s$tl,r,00,(M)o, and it has absorbed since that time twenty or thirty other companies, extending its opera tions to the East Indies, China, Japan, and the leading towns of the continent of Europe, and outwardly wearing such an aspect of pros perity that the directors gave to the share holders a dividend of seven per cent, per annum. It is now found to be hopelessly bankrupt, and sixteen thousand policy holders who have been swelling its revenues in the confident belief that they were thereby providing forty millions of dollars for de pendent families, find that they have been the victims of a gross delusion. The British journals, in discussing this failure, attribute it in part to the reckless or dishonest course of the Directors in declaring dividends when the assets were insufficient to meet impending liabilities, but they think that it is due, mainly, to the policy of the oompany in absorbing many other insurance concerns, to the rapid increase in the number of deaths among its policy-holders, and to the want of proper governmental supervision. The British journals say that while a Ufa insurance company is in its infancy there is little danger that it will become insolvent, unless it is grossly mismanaged, but that after it has been in operation fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five years, the demands upon it be come so frequent that financial rottenness is speedily exposed. They also recommend the passage of Parliamentary regulations, re quiring the publication of detailed stiile ments of the condition of each oompauy, or the adoption of a system similar to that pre vailing in New York or Massachusetts. Although the people of this country are not directly affected by the failsre of the Royal Al bert, it will serve a useful purpose here if it prompts all our Legislatures to devise effective Baf egnards for the protection of policy-holders, and at the same time induces those who seek insurance to inquire carefully into the reliabi lity of the respective insurance companies. In 1B08, sixty millions of dollars were paid for life insurance in the United States, and the expenditure for this purpose is rapidly increas ing. Already the companies are liable for policies amounting in the aggregate to a sum but little less than the national debt, and while it is a matter of vital moment to tens of thou sands of dependent families, that when their policies mature there should be no Itoyal Alhnrt fail .u ... vnu wuuwj, ib in CM ' dent that only a few Commonwealths have , created effective safeguards against this dan ger, and that the legislation of Pennsylvania, in view of the magnitude of the interests in volved, is lamentably defective. Persons who insure lives or property are also often wofully negligent in investigating the standing of the companies to which they pay premiums, as well as the stipulations and " restrictions of the policies which are issued. Even where the companies are perfectly sol. vent, there are so many clauses that a policy is sometimes worthless to the halder in conso " quence of restrictions which had escaped his notice. Scarcely one man out of teu reads or understands all the stipulations of his life or ' ; fire policies. Some of the parties who owned goods in the Patterson warehouses, for in- stance, had policies of insurance containing a htipulntkm that they were null and void if a THE DAILY EVENING TELEG RAPII PHIL A DELPHIA , FRIDAY, heating apparatus was used in the building to increase the value of the material insured; and if this clause is strictly enforced, the policies are, on their face, entirely worthless, and the insurers paid their money for abso lutely nothing. Similar instances are con stantly occurring, and they should prompt every insurer to scrutinize every line of his policy, as well as the standing of the company which issues it. CAPE MA Y. Some of our New York contemporaries have alluded to the late fire at Cape May in a man ner that seemed to indicate that it would give them pleasure if this watering place were to be wiped out of existence altogether. The great defect with Cape May is, in the eyes of a genuine New Yorker, that it is about one hundred further from New York than it is from Philadelphia; that it has been built up by Philadelphia enterprise, in a great measure supported by Philadelphia patronage, and especially that it is, without any thanks to New York, undisputably the finest watering place on the whole American coast. Every person who has visited Cape May and Long Branch know very well that the latter is a mere make-shift beside the former, although New York money and New York puffing have done their best to make it ihe leading sea-side resort. There is a certain air of refinement, elegance, and culture observable in the sum mer society at Cape May that the New York watering places may envy, but which they can not rival. The "loudness" which, to a very great extent, characterizes Long Branch, Saratoga, and other places patronized by Oothamites, has an attraction for a certain class of persons who feel uneasy when they by chance get into good society, and when an ave rage New Yorker finds himself at Cape May, the first-class hotel accommodations, the bathing, and all the other attractions of the place do not compensate for the uneasy feeling that op presses him at being thrown among a class of persons whom he instinctively feels to be his superiors. "We do not wish to be unneces sarily invidious, but it is well known that the tone of society is something very different in Philadelphia from what it is in New York, and this difference is very decidedly shown at the watering places patronized by the leaders of fashion of the two cities. In the heteroge neous state of society in New York, we sup pose that a certain want of culture is unavoid able; and while we do not admire the "style" that rules there, we do not blame the press for endeavoring to put as good a face as pos sible upon its deficiencies. As for Cape Muy, the recent fire there was undoubtedly a great misfortune: but there still remain magnificent hotels, unequalled in their accommodations by any in the coun try, which will be open to guests for the few remaining weeks of the season. Before an other season the disaster, which New York imagines has wiped Cape May out of exist ence, will be repaired. New and more ele gant buildings will be put up in the place of those that were destroyed, and the place will present a more attractive appearance than it had done heretofore, and its unequalled bath ing will attract the same class of visitors as have given it a reputation in years past. We are reasonably sorry for New York, but there is not such another place on the coast as Cape May, and that Fifth avenue cannot buy the surf for Long Branch is, perhaps, a misfor tune, but it is one for which there is no remedy. S7 LOUIS AWAKE. St. Lous has been going it rather strong lately, and it has come out particularly em phatic on the sub ject of removing the national capital. This project has been received with immense favor in St. Louis, and nowhere else. The Mississippi Valley Convention which met at Keokuk yesterday was com posed chiefly, if not entirely, of delegates from St. Louis, and consequently its perform ances must be looked at as an expression of the desires and opinion of St. Louis. It seems that St. Louis wishes to have a World's Fair held there in 1871, and it asks that Con gress shall pay the expenses, which it will undoubtedly do for fear that St. Louis might be offended, and sink' disgusted into the mud of the Mississippi, and be heard of no more. The convention also demand a full share of the diplomatic appointments for the Mississippi valley, reciprocal trade with all nations, and a few other little favors that will probably be attended to in course of time, since St. Louis asks them. We are rather glad to see these signs of waking up on the part of St. Louis, for it has apparently been half asleep for a number of years back, and some of us had pretty nearly forgotten its existence. But St. Louis has determined that Chicago shall no longer carry off all the honors, and that even if it cannot have the national capital removed, it will make a noise in the world, and let people know that there is such a place. i It is evident, from the text of the pro posed new form of government in France, which we published yesterday, that the Em peror surrenders, after all, but a small por tion of his power. He giants to the Corps Legislatif the right to devise new measures, and they have also the right to adopt resolu tions of inquiry into the causes or character of governmental movements, similar to those which are frequently offered in Congress. But meanwhile the Senate, which is composed of men appointed by and devoted to the Emperor, is endowed with co-ordinate powers of legislation similar to those exercised by the Senate of the Uuited States; and no bill can become a law without its approval. It can not only amend the bills framed by the Corps Legis- latif, but if it is decidedly hostile to them, their second consideration at any one ses sion, by the Corps Legislatif, is forbidden. Ministers are dependent only on the Emperor (not on the Parliament, as in England), and they can be impeached anly by the Senate. The underlying idea of the system is that the popular branch of the Legislature is to be allowed comparative freedom to agitate, but that it can decide and control nothing with out the consent of the Emperor and the Senate. Vkhy Windt. And now comes Boston with a new sensation, a tremendous and terrific gale of wind, which has knocked the roof off the Coliseum, upset any number of churches and private dwellings, and twisted some of the venerable plants on the Common out of all Bhape and symmetry. All along the New England coast the King of the Winds has been playing his pranks, and a number of lives have been sacrificed by his revels. Bos ton may now console herself with the melan choly reflection that, if the Jubilee has been outdone, it has been outdone only by a Bos ton hurricane. vilU.LMA.

The Augusta ((la. ) CottslUulioimlisI up braids the umnbcrK ot Southern people who, ut the clo.-c of the war, were converted into an army of mendicants and invaded the North with matchless intrepidity and much success. Their crusade was, iu its opinion, bad enoujrh, but their adventurous imitators in it complains, are mortifying and humiliating their own people and compelling the North to believe that the South has become n seminary of chronic charity seekers. It demands that "a prompt stop shall be put to this organized system, and that these swarms of itinerants shah" stay at homo and fio to work. The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says that lor two excellent reasons it disbelieves the story that the Great Western Kailwny has been purchased in the interest of Mr. Vanderbilt lirst, lie is better off without it, and knowing it, does not, therefore, probably wish to buy the property; and second, the British proprietors are satisfied with their investment, and do not, there fore, probably wish to sell out.

I had then i. use what I supposed was a Flre-Proof Safe, but upon opening It I found everything destroyed, and are burning therein. You will recollect, gentlemen, there was several of your Safes in that lire, also several In the Are at Sixth and Commerce streets, the next May fly a weeks afterwards, all of which upon being opened proved they were tire-proof Indeed, for I witnessed the opening of the most of them, and In every case the contents were preserved, while Safes of other makers were partially or entirely destroyed. I at once concluded to have something that I could do pend upon, and purchased one of your Safes. The safe I purchased of you at thit time was sui jected to a white heat (which was witnessed by sev eral gentlemen that reside In the neighborhood) at the destruction of my Marble Paper factory a Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening of the 24th lust. After digging the safe from the ruins and opening it this morning, I was much pleased to' llnd everything, consisting of books, papers, money and silverware, all rhrht.
