THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST. .18, 1870. 5 rr a w-ir oanxaHB. m Our Own Correspondent, ' ' , Niw York, Ang. 17, 1370. Crime nad Correspondence. Newspaper coirespondents are sometimes blamed because the majority of their correspond ence is based upon crime, sin, and error. The Name is not pronounced in wisdom and is un just. The hypercritical reader forgets that the vast majority of the history of the world con eists of accounts of the same nature, only upon a larger scale. To say that one is human is almost the same thing as to say he sins and suffers, and the correspondent who deals with the bright side only of life but partially does his duty. To relate, in a straightforward manner, facts of which sin and suffering have a large share, is a tbiog very different from what it is lo place perpetually before the public scenes of imaginary crime and woe, for the miserable sake merely of "boing read" and creating a sensation. A story of deserved or of undeserved suffering always carries Its own moral with It, unless the crime or error which induced it is of such a nature as had better not be generally known. There are certain crimes which bring upon innocent victims an incalculable amount of 6hame and anguish, but which, from the very hideousness of their nature, ought not to be mentioned either in public or private, more than is necessary to keep them in odium. It is upon the details surrounding an immorality of this nature that the tingling scnsation-scoker pounces. Like lightning that, without strik ing, fitfully illuminates a picturesque but ghastly ruin, so he plays round the morbid piquancy and brings its sensual secrecies to light without once venturing to actually touch them. He gloats upon the subject over which he moralizes, and squeezes out a sermon which b worse than the sin that wrung it forth. Under the present constitution of things, suffering and eln always must form a very large basis for newspaper writing, and it is perfectly unobjec tionable that they should do so. It is agalHSt the kind of ein which correspondents too often take for their texts, and against the tone in which such sin is spoken of, that wholesale ob jections can justly be urged. If I were asked what kind of people the gossipy correspondent is most fond of chatting about, I should reply that, for the most part, they belong to those who break the seventh commandment and do not keep the eighth. Parracut and the Flans. The impartiality with which great men are honored in this life is not often illustrated more 6trikingly than it was on Monday and Tuesday in this city. Admiral Farragut died on Sanday. Until late on Tuesday afternoon no half-mast flag was raised over the City Hall, or over any other building that comes within the control of the corporation of New York. Think of that ! When the half-mast flags were at last raised the procrastinated tribute was wrung forth by popular clamor. Contrast this shameful indif ference to the virtues of a good and great United States citizen, who had used his goodness and greatness in the service of his country, with the ostentatious honors that, a few weeks ago, were paid to the memory of Florence Scannel, who, as the Tribune Bays, died "from the effects of wounds received in a fight in a rum-hole, whither he and his friends had gone for the avowed purpose of 'mashing' some op ponents." At that decease, every flag appeared nt half-mast, and the stars and stripes were ob scured by crape. Remember, too, the apotheo sis of John Real, and the vast multitudes that fringed the route of his luneral procession. Circumstances like these remind one that we are living in strange times, when an unspeakably corrupt system of politics erects ruflians into heroes, and treats the honorable dead, the chief servants and saviors of the nation, with shame ful and hideous disrespect. inr. Bnrrett at Nl bio's. After eight years' absence from this city, Mr. Lawrence Barrett appeared at Nlblo's Garden on Monday night in that absurd play Tlie Duke's Motto. Ills capacity is that of a good leading stock performer. His audacity in venturing to appear in a character that Mr. Fechter, the greatest living representative of the romantic drama, had made peculiarly his own, has not been justified by the result. The performance is neat and spirited that is all. The scenery of the play is elaborate and appropriate. Miss Moore, who gives the impression that she is always on the point of beautifully blubbering, is the "Blanche deNevers," and Madame Po nisi is the ' -Duchess" the old lady with the remarkable memory, who swears that a certain young lady is not her daughter, because she (the "Duchess") can't recognize her, and it has been only twenty years since they met. But what matters a trifling incongruity like this, when the necessary "effect" and "situation" are produced? Plenty f Gllead bnt Buliu. The census proves that we have plenty of city (though not perhaps so much as some of us try to make out that we have) and plenty of the miseries that usually beset a large city, but that we have not near so much compensation for them as we ought to enjoy. In other words, there is plenty ot Gllead, but very little balm. Look at the Bay nuisances, and the imbecility of the Board of Health. The bay is filling with offal of every description, and, to all appear ances, the Board of Health is powerless to pre vent the evil, and even questions whether every other department of the city is not equally pow erless. Contractors are. by law, required to move all oftal beyond the city. For a time they evaded the law "by manufacturing the offal, at one of the docks, into certain prontaoie bud- frtanees. After a long struggle the lioara of Health succeeded in abolishing that nui sance, and the disgusted contractors expressed their sentiments by chucking tne ortai into tne Lower Bay. Literally they observe their con tract, though certainly they violate its spirit. The Board of Health has followed them up, and done all it could to remedy the evil, but has dis covered that Us efforts are laughed at. the nuisance is continued, and the Lower Bay may be described as a sort of infernal manufactory. where Pestilence broods over his work before he issues forth to afflict New York. If no disease is generated there, it will not be because it was not presented with an ingenious pretext lor making its appearance. Country Ceuln. The country cousin is in- town. He sitteth dumb and wondering in the Broadway stage, and forgetteth to band up bis fare. Surely the driver ringeth the bell in vain, for the country cousin is lost in the contemplation thereof and dreameth not that it is rung for him. At the end be seelh his error, ana straightway aketh his neighbor if the fare be five cunts or ten. Then he passeth up a ten dollar bill and the driver snatcnetn it. Ana tne country cousin qaanetn as be hearetb the sound of the driver's voice and knoweth that the driver sweareth. Yet a little while, and lo! the ten-dollar bill is returned though the opening with words which it is not lawful for a correspondent to ntter, and the conntrr coup in passeth it arosud, askinz change and finding noue, for no man will give unto bim, because It is counterfeit. Then the country t-ousln getteth out of the stage, even out of that which is called the Broadway, and wlsheth he were at home. And the rest of the acts of the country cousin, and all that he did away from home, are they not written under the head of "Crimes and Casualties" in tuo morniug's news paper? You bet! AAIUaba. ItOYAL INSURANCE COMPANY. Frrrm the Liverpool Mt.il, Aug. 6, 1870. The annual general meeting of the sharehold ers of the Royal Insurance Company was held yesterday morning, at the Head Office of the Company, North John street, Liverpool, for the transaction of the ordinary business of the Com pany, and for the purpose of declaring the mouBt of profits up to the expiration of the last quinquennial period, to be set apart out of the Life Assurance Fund. REPORT FOR THE TEAR 18C9. The Directors have the pleasing duty Of re porting that the results ol the year 1809 are highly satisfactory in both departments of the business. FinE DEPARTMENT. The premiums for the period amount to 485,180 5s. 9d. ($2,435,900), and the losses to 2'.X),685 10s. lid. ($1,453,435), being an increase of premium and a decrease of loss as compared with the corresponding totals of the preceding twelve months. The net profit of the Depart ment, including interest; amounts to 73,154 3s. 5d. ($390,770). With a single exception, this la the largest surplus that has been announced as the result of a year's operations 6lnce the estab lishment of the Company; and it is satisfactory to state that most of the Branches have con tributed to it in some measure, the American Department being the only Important one that shows a small adverse balance. Your Directors have repeatedly had to refer to the fluctuations to which Fire Insurance busi ness is exposed. The year now under review has been marked by the absence of fires of any serious extent, but it has been succeeded by a period equally distinguished for the number and severity of the losses which have occurred in various parts of the world. The Royal has shared in many of these, and 60 favorable a re port as the one now presented cannot therefore be anticipated for the year 1870. LIFE DEPARTMENT. It will be in the recollection of the share holders that the results of the Quinquennial Yaluntlon of the Liabilities of this Department now fail to be reported. Your Directors feel that more than the usual interest attaches to this investigation, in consequence of public atten tion having been prominently drawn during the past twelve months to the financial position of Life Offices by the failure of one large Company and the rumored difficulties of others. For the better security of the public, a bill, which has just received the approval of the Legislature, will compel all Life Companies to publish, periodically, Important information respecting their financial position and the means tbey possess of meeting their engagements. Your Directors approve of the salutary provi sions of the measure, which enforce the publica tion of accounts upon all Companies, and, in order to afford an adequate confirmation of the accuracy of the statements of this Company, your Directors have adopted a further check, which they are satisfied will commend itself to every Shareholder and Assurer. A valuation of the Life Liabilities has been made by the oflicers of the Company as heretofore, and a totally independent valuation has been obtained from Mr. Samuel Brown, one of the most experienced Actuaries of the day. It is satisfactory lo state that the two valuations were nearly identical in their results, although in the one case each Policy was valued sepa rately, and in the other they were grouped in classes according to ages. It 1b unnecessary to enter upon the details here, as they are given fully in the accompany ing Reports by the Manager and Consulting Actuary, and it only remains to make the an nouncement that the amount of Profit accruing to the Shareholders for the transactions of the last Five Years is 81,933 6s. 8d. (409,605). The results of the business for the last twelve months have been as follows: Total Income from Premiums, after deducting Reas surances 213,420 14s. 8d. ($1,007,100) Of which the 1248 New Proposals completed during the year have contributed, net. 19,003 7s. 8d. ($95,015) The Interest from Investments 46,102 14s. Od.

The National Guard was at its post to pre serve order, but no soldiers were seen at tha commencement of the session. Count de Pallako, the new Minister of War. spoke as follows: "The Chamber win understand that I cannot give precise details as to the number of troopa engaged, casualties,. etc. I cannot even state the result of engagements, but I may say that the enemy has made an Ineffectual attempt to capture Pfalzburg and lost fifteen hundred men. killed. This repulse has had a great effect both on the enemy and the people of that part of France. 'The moment the Government has information of great movements now taking place I will communicate it to the Chambers." The Minister then withdrew. Deputy Jules Favre then took the floor aui requested that the utmost severity be shown ta the rioters and assassins of Villette. M.
