The Richings' English Opera Company will begin an engagement at the Academy of Music ' this evening with Adams's comic opera, The _Postilion of Lonjumeau. To-morrow night, upon the occasion of the benefit of Mr. S. Beh rens, the popular musical director;-The Hugue nots will be performed in splendid style, with the whole company in the cast, a full chorus and a large orchestra. Mr. Behrens ought to have a crowded house. On Wednesday night Mr. A. S. Pennoyer, the business manager of the troupe, will have a farewell benefit. .11 Trovatore will be fresented with an excellent cast. Miss Howson, who is said to be a soprano of very unusual attainments, will ap pear in this performance. Mr. Pennoyer has been connected with the Etchings company ever since its forroation, and to his efforts in support of those of Mrs. Bernard are we in debted in a large measure for the successful establishment of English Opera in this coun try. Mr. Pennoyer will retire at the close of the present season for the purpose of going into business in NOV York. We hope he may re ceive at this last benefit a proper testimonial of popular appreciation of his vailuable services. The opera nearly always attracts a large au dience, but upon this occasion it ought to -- crowd the house. CITY StILLETIN. State of Thermomenter This Day at the BulletiOffice. 77 dog. 12 M.

Should dry weather now set in, the case this year will be different Thus far its development is retarded, but not frustrated, by. Wet weather. It is noteworthy that this fruit is annually growing scarcer. As . a market fruit, it is less profitable than any other. Taking into' consideration-the results of the regular June raid by the birds, the toll taken by the boy-pickers. as they - climb, and the impossibility of reaching -the outlying branches of trees that grow fifty feet into the air, the man who gets into market three bushels out of five yielded by a given tree may consider himself lucky. In this markets we never get them in perfection.

In chronicling the shoo*, ing of a burglar _in her house last week by Mrs. Doctor Getchell, we had a presentiment that the lineage of the lady conferred upon - her hereditary determination and self-posses sion.- Our presentiment was correct. Mrs. Getchell is a niece of Major Levi TWiggs, for many years commandant of the. Philadelphia Navy Yard, who fell while leading his troops, in 1647, in the assault upon the city of MeXico. The now lady was then an infant. Her only brother, Doctor Decatur Twiggs, lost his life one month previous to the death of his father, at the fight on National Bridge.

PFINI:ST M 01 4 :TA G.—To-day is Whitmonday; .1t is celebrated as a festival both by Jews and Christians . . TIM former attaeb sanctity to it, as commemorative of the revelation of the law - given by Moses upon-- Sinai. - By_ _Ldiris tians it is a festival perpetuative of the Pentecostal gift of the Holy Ghost and the power of polyglot communication to the _early converts at Jerusalem. The various synagogues in this city Zvi ere opened this afternoon. All have been more of less beautifully decorated with flowers. The reason for the specific name given to the festival is that the early Christians espe cially favored the notion of receiving the rite of baptism on that particular day. To sym _bolizc the imparted by the ordinance when properly received. the postiflauts were uniformly attired in white. The day is celebrated in Germany with especial gusto. It is observed with corres ponding spirit wherever a score or two of Germans are epntiguously located. To them Pfi4 , 4/4 .3/044taff brings up memories of the Vaterland more vividly, perhaps, than any other day of the calendar. There are sec. dons of this State whose people at this moment are as primitive as they are in any part of midland Germany. These people hear no rattle of locomotives. Their farms are bisected by no canal. Their only visitors are au occasional pedlar or colporteur. From plum and pear trees glowing fruit hangs inviolate over the roadway. Au oath is never heard, nor can an adult person be found among a thousand inhabitants unable to write his name. To see a perfect duplicate of the observance of 1)111(Fit Jib ,Itt( , (1 in the land of Luther, it is necessary to go no farther than Sugar, Nippe nose or other valleys in Clinton or Centre county. To work - on that day is looked upon by these worthy pioneers—pioneers who make the most of every hour of their time—as ail act , of servile greed. The whale 7al2ister and pupils alike take a holidayl while th'e domiuie, ni the absence of lager, indulges, for that occa sion only, in a potation of schnapps.

To THE POLICY HOLDERS OF THE SIIITYAL LIFE INSURANCE 'COMPANY, OF NEW VORE..— It is doubtless known to many of our assured that for some time past rumors prejudicial to the management of this Crompany'have been in circuTsition. George W. Miller, Esq.,-Superintendent of the Insurance department of the State of New York, has just completed his investigation of the charges preferred against this Company (none of which have been sustained), and of the general condition of tts affairs. His re-. port, from which the subjoined. extracts are taken, will be distributed among the policy holders • so soon as it - can be printed, and should be carefully read by all. F. EATOHFORDNSTARR, General Agent. PHILADELPHIA, June 4th, 1870. • EXTRACTS FROM REPORT. •______livery effort has been made to make the investigation thorotighland•coMplete It - has been continued through a. penod, of about mouths. Over six hundred foolicap pages of testimony have been taken, and the books of every description, as well as the as sets of the Company, have been carefully ex amined. " Having undertaken the examination of the affairs of this great company (besides the Special - charges already- considered,) I- have continued it until, by a personal inspection of the assets, and a general investigation of the methods of business, as. well as a review of the history .of the company, I feel_prepared to declare as my opinion that the condition and Standing of..the_Mutied _Life Insurance Com panY,'of NeW "York, is such'as entitlesit to the confidence of the public and the high po sition it has so long occupied; that it has ac quired this leading anti magnificent position, is most unquestionably in a great measure due to the efficiency, ability, and fidelity of those entritsted with its management. It was or. ganized by special act in 1842, and was the first Mutual Life Insuraptce Company of this State. The present chief executive officer, Mr. Frederick S. Winston, became its President in 1853, at which time the assets of the Com pany amounted to $2,018,776. The number of policies then in force---was-6;77-3inSuring--the amount of 817,556,133. On the Ist of January, 1870, the assets of the Company had increased to the enormous sum of .$37,579,169. The num ber of policies then in force was 68,072, insur ing 82313,f 43,902. The income_ of the Company for the year 1869 was about $15,000,000- " Of the assets, over $27,000,000 is invested in bonds and mortgages upon real estate, all, except about $2,000.04:10 in New Jersey, being upon real estate situate in this' State.' The of the company were found to corres pond with its annual statement thereof mad' , to the Insurance Department. They are of the highest order of securities and have been safely kept. It is a fact worthyofremark that. the strictest scrutiny into the management of this Cornpanyr during the_ past _sixteen _or seventeen years, during which such- a vas' amount of business has been. done, and such immense sums of money have been received and invested, not one dollar is discovered t' have been lost by the embezzlement, defalca tion or breach of trust of any officer or trustee. It is, perhaps, not strange that such success should - excite not only generous rivalry in this great field of business enterprise, but also some jealousy as well as personal animosities and criticisms. It is to be regretted that in any case the officers or agents of one_Company should resort to a vilification of another ' _Company or its officers, with a view __to advancing the interests of their own Company or themselves. if there are charges affecting the standing of a Company or the legality of its management seriously made upon /wino/ feefu, Leabuthable—grOilild.;, to the•."--Sateris dent, he will, as in this cam, deem it his duty as soon as practicable to investigate them. In making these remarks no reference is had to any Company or person in particular. They are merely aimed generally at what I have conceived to be a pernicious practice. " In concluding the report, I- would say that enf.ef Ertl upon tni..3 cx-ainination-,-ceetsinly not predisrosed to extend any special favor to the Company,but fully determined to probe to the bottom all complaints, and, so far as I was able, to mete out equal and exact justice. This, to the best of my ability, I have done. Personal examinations of the affairs of Com panies will be morefrequent under the present than they were under the late administration of the Insurance Department. It will be grati fying if those examinations disclose no greater irregularities; nor cause more serious appre hensions for the future of the Companies ex amined, than this has done. If any of our Life Insurance Companies are safe and reli able, the Mutual Life must be one of them. " In language which I have before used, I will only add : My examination has satisfied me that the Company has been managed with peculiar ability - and integrity,and tnat its con dition is eminently sound.

ANOTHER' OPPORTFNITY.—Pictures of Cali fornia scenery by the San Francisco artist, W L. _Mamie, have never until now been seen in a Philadelphia auction-room. Mr. Marple now thus oilers some exquisite ones,,,never previously shown, together with a fine collec tion made by him during kis late absence in Europe. The whole will be unreservedly dis posed of, through Messrs. Martin Brothers, on Tuesday-morning. and nyening, at. eleven and eight o'clock, -There-are iiiiifuniVerllif Pietgrei- - in this collection over which no ono can dwell without admiration bordering upon ar infrac tion of the Tenth Commandment.

The offerings are but forty-five in BUM her. The connoisseur, and especially the re turned Californian,will appreciate the work o Marple. As we have already said, they ar• the kind of pictures which are generally sok at the moment they leave the easel. STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.—The young peo . pl of the North 'Broad Street Presbyterial Church, corner of Broad and Green street- , are making extensive preparations for a straw berry festival, to be held at the church, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week There will be a groat display of flowers, fruit music and other attractions, and from the en thusiasn with which the young folks have win( into the affair, we have no doubt, that their laudable efforts will be crowned with large success. if they do not realize it, it will not be because they do not deserve it.

Tice - pre - -hriiiienee -- enjoyed by Philadelphia in so many 'brandies Of her industry She esneei- . ally enjoys iu the pianos of the Schomacker Pianolklanufacturing Company, whose ware rooms are at No. 1103 Chestnut street. We can distinguish the.Scbcanacker• instrument from all others by hearing without seeing it. We know thesuperiority of the touch of its key-board oven when,blindfolded: When other instruments are voiceless and worn out, the'stainich.old Schomacker instrument,like Joshua among a lot - of vanquished Edomitish .generals,. is a+ staunch as ever. We are glad to see the discrimination mani fested in this direction, especially, by our-pub lic school teachers. A concert was given some time ago, at the Academy of Music, by the pupils of Jefferson Girls' Grammar School..lts principal, Miss Marks, would reflect credit not only in capacity but in enterprise upon the most pretentious seminary among us. Through her exertions this concert was a suc cess. NV hat we wonder at is that it hasn't been ri peated. The proceeds have been invested in what we unhesitatingly believe to be the finest grand piano we ever heard. Its value is fifteen hundred dollars. It is one of a pair built expreitalrfertke - comint r- Natlonal ,Exhi-- bition at Washington. When we say that we know a Schomacker grand • that, in constant use for twenty-three years, is as good as ever, the excellence of this instrument, with all those years of _experience acquired by the makers, can be pretty well understood. From the same Company the Board of Trusts have justselected another square grand action piano-forte for Girard College. For _all such purposes the Schomacker has attained a posi tion which the. Company are as certain to maintain as they have been to render it im pregnable. While proud, as Philadelphians, of the po sition held by the Schomacker instrument, we are at fhb same. time unwilling" to award xinde • served praise. Thisinstrument for the Jeffer son School is rounding, not angular, at its ex treme end, and instead of being near to the edge, the lower strings are squarely over the soundipg-board. The ear must* a dull one that does not quicken to a perception -of the beautiful at the touch of these instruments. While the upper notes - are sweet and soft as those of a - mrtsic-box, the-crash of- the -base possesses a volume that in other -instruments is desired, but not attained. The - Jefferson School was the first to select. such an instru- Anent as this..- 1n the laudable rivalry now cer tain to ensue, we hope,for the propre ant our of the youngdticlies in general, it .will not be the. last. Such a concern as the Schomacker Manufac tuting Company, we repeat, is a credit to Philadelphia. It gives lucrative employment to a large number of skilled operatives, and to the purchaser presents the advantage of pro curing an 'instrument from the hands of its original maker Without the intervention of a second party.
