Tile Lonosuoremen's Strike.?There were no new developments worthy of note in the strike ' Yesterday. In the forenoon a deputation of shlp i ping merchants, consisting of Messrs. Murc,Oibbs, ! Roach, Ravcnei, T. Streotand W. B. Smith, waited upon Mayor PUtsbury at his office, and repre ' sented that there was an abundanco of willing labor for all the work that was to be done, but that parties, who were anxious for employ ment, bad been deterred from accepting It by reason of threats that had been uttered against belrpersonal safety, in tho event of their doing so. They, therefore, requested that the Mayor should issu" a suitable proclamation and take such other measures as would insure protection to whosoever might choose to go to work on the wharves. The Mayor in his reply, seemed to intimate that there was no sufficient ground for the ' apprehen sion expressed. He, however, assented to the re qnest that a police force should be immediately dispatched to the neighborhood of tho wharves, and promised that in the event of any serions trouble, ho would tssuo a procla mation with a view of securing the good order of the city. He reminded tho deputation that he as well as themselves was Interested In the commercial prosperity of the city, for If there were no city revenues all opportunity for his official nsef ulncss wonld be gone. He lnxtnedlately sent for Lieutenant Chapman, of the police force, and gave him tue necessary orders to carry out the suggestions that bad been made. The deputation then thanked the Mayor and withdrew. Lieutenant Chapman then mastered a small squad of policemen, visited the wharves, and found everything qulot. * We may remark, In this connection, that the merebania emphatically deny that their opposl sUion to Stevedore Stoddard Is founded on politi cal reasons; for these same reasons wonld apply,, almost without except ion, to StoddartPs employ ees. They (the merobanta) state that Stoddard Is personally obnoxious to them from other causes. Ilotel Arrivals?October 28. OfTARLERTON HOTEL. H. A.
