Visit to Atlantic City.— The visit to Atlantic Gi .7 yesterday by a party of geutlemeu from Philadelphia, and members connected with the Lighthouse Board, came oIT as aunouneed, with the important exception that not a single mem ber of Congress was preeent. Tho object of the visit was for the purpose of allowing the high functionaries of the government to examine lor themselves the rapidly Increasing danger which threatens the lighthouse by the washing away of the beach neur it. Proi. Bacho became strongly Impressed with the importance of having some protection, and agreed to moke a survey of that part of the beach, for the purpose of ascertaining how milch of the shore hud washed away* Mr Smith, surveyor of the district, took his old ex ploded theory that the shore was making Instead of disappearing, and that there was no danger to the lighthouse. The surveys, however, show that within the past few years over five hundred feet of the beach have been carried into the sea and every high tide sweeps uway more. Every due connected with the exenrsion was fully satis’ tied that something should be done. The mutter will be mged upon Congress with renewed ear nestness. The former Mayor of Atlantic City tool; the initiative in this movement, and during tin winter of 1867-8 over six thousand signers to a petition asking" Congress for a liberal appropriation for building such defence. He also secured the action of Governor Ward in the mat ter,who personally recommended such a measure while the Legislature of New Jersov wassuccess lully importuned to sign the petition. Everv bUßinets Imercßt of the State, of the general gov ernmeiit asd of ihe commerce of Philadelphia was set forth in that petition and used as arguments of ‘he appropriation. That document gained all the reasons whv a wcrTmet n«°u d be , made: but theßo oUort9 neserttonStmi “,? y w 11 be met nnff . >vith toe Hons were 16 dau K«''-" The peti (WrosffrnmF on ' Wm ' Mooru ' member of aud g wero f ™fcrrert Cou «r( ssionai District, knows no wakiDg." it was.

It Mr Bache will listen to the voice of the people of that city, and act inf accordance with the self-evident facts whlch must have met hU own personal observation,-there will be a protec tion guaranteed at no greatly distant day. . The business Interest nf Philadelphia, as well jts the safety of property belonging to tho United States and the citizens of Atlantic City, demand it. That city is destined to become an Important point in the future,and the eooner the washing away of the inlet front is arrested, the greater will be tho impetus given to improvement tho re. BOOTH’S HEW THBmfi 15 HEW TUBE. The Opening Lait Night The N. Y. Times speaks as follows of the open ing of Edwin Booth’s now theatre: Mr. Edwin Booth’s Theatre, on tho south-east corner of West Twenty-third Btroet and Sixth avenue, was opened to the public last ovonlog, aDd was very extensively occupied bv tho many beaded monster. The establishment was one of the most important ever dedicated to the art. Its exterior grandeur is only equaled by the beauty and brightness of its interior decorations. It lacks, however,tho spacious freedom Of the Grand Opera House, is particularly deficient in lobby. room. Ladies’s dresses were root and disordered last evening in a way that will bring a powerful- interest to bear against the theatre. It is only under certain conditions that the sex permits itself tb be crowded. As a rale it is best not to step on a woman’s dress, unless, like poor Jfercutio, you wiek to be “scratched to death.” What would have become of the attendance Inst night had an alarm of fire taken place, it is dreadful to think of. The alarm of water—and were plenteous in their gifts—congested the little lob by, and made egress almost impossible. Mr. Booth can remedy this by having additional wickets, and will, no doubt, do so. Where so jnnch has been done, it Is hardly vain to look for more. At nil events His natural to do so:. ! The ploy selected for the opening, as our read ers are well aware, Was “Romeo and Juliet.” Ere the tragedy had commenced Mr. Booth made his appearance before the audience, and in a few wcll-seiecied remarks referred to tho calamity which ntarly two years ago deprived the com munity of his services, and of his subsequent re solve to build n theatre worthy of the Metropolis "and the drama. Ho then retired, changed his dress and tho piece proceeded. Of this everything remains to be said. The waits which are inevitable on first nights, although never prolonged to the point of exciting inquietude or displeasure, led the performance into tho most advanced still nesses of the night. They who could remain were doubtless rewarded for their pains. Most cer tainly the early acts were the most marvelous specimens of stage production ever witnessed here. The scenery is absolutely perfect, and the proportions of the stage enable .it to be worked also to perfection. There were “sets” last night which could Dot even be attempted at any othor establishment, Bucb, for instance, as tho banquet ing hall in "Capulet’e" house and the celebrated Balcony scene. But to these and cognate topics we must hereafter refer, onr habit being not to write a column before breakfast bn the day of performance, and to Insert a comma by way of comment after sapper. The opening was a snccess worthy of tbo gravest attention, and trivial generalities and shimmering verbiage are •hardly appropriate lor the occasion. We may say hurriedly that Mr. Edwin Adams seemed to divide the favor of the audience with Mr. Booth. He was called out (would that it were always possible-) after his death and appeared to be breathing quite freely. Tne fight ing be it observed was furious on all sides. Miss McVicker’s “Juliet” wos perhaps marred by ti midity. Under ony circumstances it is a proper subject for further comment, if not study. Much credit is due to Mr. Mark Smith, not only for hiß excellent performance of “Friar Lawrence,” bat lor the general completeness ol the stage arrange ments. The new ropes aud pulleys, and ma chinery and mechanics led to occasional delay, but never to disaster. The play was perfectly well studied, and followed the text of Shake speare more closely Ihnn usnal. CITY NOTIOES.

To Our AgnUs and (he Public It is ro well understood that the Girard Fire Insurance Company bekngjt to no ccnn Id nation of underwriter, that a repetition of the fact i> hardly necessary. But our experience in tome localities, during tho year 18>J8, justi fies us in briefly alluding to the subject Again, our At/ece&* eeems to demand an explanation. It will bo re inembered that in 1867 we lost a smaller per cent of our premium than any other company doing a Fire Imur&nce Business, thiough aeecciea, in the United States. This happy result wo bcJiove, has Again been achieved, in our experience, for the jear 1&68, notwithstanding the multi tude of fire*. If so, the statistics of the worthy Insurance Commis sioners of New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut will doubtless certify, when published. By reference to the reports of the Commissioners of Massachusetts and New York for the year ending December 31st, 1867, it will be found that our losses were twenty-seven per cent, and & fraction upon the amount of premium* received. In 18© they will not exceed thirtv-tbree per cent This is the test by which the general character of our business should be measured. Compared with the experieneo of other companies in this country, it cither proves that our agent* and patrons arc honest and fair teward tho “Girard Fire Insurance Company," elae that we are re markably fortunate. A million of premiums might have been received in* stead of some two hundred thousand. But our profit* might have betn less, and the indemnity offered the in sured no better than now. It is tbe latter wo desire to afford our friends. Ja2a to th tf We are sorry to notice, however, that In some instances “Special Hazards" have been offered our agont* at less than tho ‘ National Board” rates. This is no favor nor compliment to us, and a poor reward for our tfidepen dence. Neither is it tho kind of patronage we ecok. It costa us oa much to pay losses as other institutions, and we mast have fair rates, fair risks, honest agents and honest insurers. T hen our welfare will be Identical. A few agents have been reinoved and othors appointed, but not without a sufficient cause, for we believe that of aR tbiDge done through tho agency of others, the Insurance business of this country should be confided to the most honorable, responsible and intelligent men to bo found in it. Otherwise the profession of the underwriter will be likely to suffer. Wo invite no conflict with other com* pooler. We seek no business by unfair or covert means. Honest losses will bo promptly met, as heretofore Agent a should be cautious as to whom they insure , as wett as to what they insure, and abide by our rules, now *• well and successfully established.
