Tho frescoing of the new Opera House Is rapidly advancing, aud the scaffolding in the interior will soon be removed. The Lonoshoremen'.h Stkikk.?There were no j new developments worthy ot note in the strike yesterday. In the forenoon a deputation of ship ping merchants, consist mg of Messrs. Mure,Olbbs, Bosch, Ravcnel, T. Street and W. R. Smith, wailed upon Mayor PUlsbnry at his office, and repre sented tbat there was an abundance of willing labor for all the work that was to be done, but that parties, who were anxious for employ ment, had been deterred from accepting It by reason or threats that had been uttered against Kbcir personal safety, in the event of their doing so. They, therefore, requested that the Mayor should Issue a suitable proclamation and take suoh other measures as would Insure protection to whosoever might choose to go to work on the wharves. Tho Major In his reply, seemed to intimate that there was no sufficient ground for the apprehen sion expressed. He, however, assented to the re quest that a police force should be Immediately dispatched to the neighborhood or the wharves, and promised that in the event or any serious trouble, ho would issue, a procla mation with a view of securing the good order of the city. He reminded the deputation that he as well as themselves was interested In the commercial prosperity or the city, for if there were no city revenues all opportunity for his official usefulness would be gone. He idrrncdiatcry Rent for lieutenant Chapman, Of the police force, and gave him tho necessary orders to carry out the suggestions that had been made. The deputation then thanked the Mayor and Withdrew. Lieutenant Chapman then mustered a small sqnad of policemen, visited ihe wharves, and found everything quiet. Wo may remark, In this connection, that the merchants emphatically deny that their opposi Bition to Stevedore Stoddnrd is founded on politi cal reasons; for these same reasons would apply,, almost without exception, to Stoddard'semploy ees. They (the merchants) state that Stoddurd Is personally obnoxious to them from other causes. Hotel Arrlvul e-OrtulKT 28. (.'Il A KI.K.-TON hotel. K.

I have denounced the action or a few men hero to-night, In regard, to this claim, as an outrage, and my remarks brought on this difficulty; I came here to tight this claim and have done so. I have not, however, any apology to make, and will neither make nor accept one. An to all this talk aboat the Alder man who considered himself Insulted, and shot at me and then said he would not have Injured his kinsman for auything, It is all bosh; I would rather sec every kinsman or mine dead and in their graves, than sec them put their hands in the city tiva.suiy to pay tholr private debts. Alderman Holloway. I say amen to that. Alderman K. P. Wall. I say hurrah ror you. AHcr this several Aldermen asked tho Mayor what wan the status or the Corbln claim, but he refused to give any answer beyond saying that as there was not a quorum present, ho could not do so. .
