LOCAL CHOWDEII.—In the prolongation of weather decidedly warm, retail trade is at a comparative stand-still.

Simmons 8, - ; Slocum, on the north side of Arch street, above Tenth, is now having the finishing touches put to it and will be open-on - Monday night next. The building : occupies a lot 50 feet front by 175 feet in depth. The front is brick, plastered in imitation of-white marble. It is two stories in height - and is surmounted with an ornamental cornice. In front of the second story there is a balcony. The entrance to the opera house is in the centre, and is-fifteen feet - wide, with tiled floor and frescoed walls and - ceiling. - On each side of the doorway there is a large and handsome lamp containing five burners. There are also two lamps on the balcony. ronting on Arc street there are two stores, one on each side of the main entrance. These stores are 22 t The interior of tin is been fitted up in elegant ng and ails are frescoed-in te man ner, the work havinf an Gib son. In the dome ti tilator, which acts in such a ie heat from the building. Beneath tne some there are a series of gas-burners arranged in circular form, which throw out such a brilliant light that the smallest type can be easily read by persons sitting in tire parquette. Around the walls there are numerous brackets of entirely new, very neat and handsome designs. The gas fixtures were furnished by Baker, Arnold & Co. (late Cornelius & Baker), from their new manufactory at Twelfth and Brown streets. The•stage is 30 feet in depth and `7 feet 6 inches between the prosceniums. The front is highly ornamented, and there is a full sup ply of scenery, &c., painted by Robert Frazier. The auditorium, it is expected, will comfort ably seat about 1,000 persons. The orchestra seats are of an entirely new kind, known as " the patent opera chair." The principal fea ture of these chairs is that the occupant can tilt his seat into a recess and make more room for any person who desires to pass him. These chairswere furnished by B. Koechling, of New York. in the rear of the orchestra is the par quette. with handsome plush seats. There are two galleries, so arranged that a good view of the stage canbe seen from any part of them. The front of these galleries has been painted and gilded in a tasteful manner by W Kelley. The upholstering was done by W. H. Carryl& Sons. The exit arrangements, which can be made available in case of fire, are excellent. There e four doors which can be opened on to Arch street, aad at the rear of the stage there is a Obor mill a fourteen feet paEsage-way to - a street. The New Opera House is an ornament to neighl.orhood in which it is located, and in its interior arrangements is one of the prettiest structures of the bind to he found in the coun try. Mr.- E. r Hurang .was:_the .architeCt,"anii Stavton t MOGarves, builders: WORTHS' OF m AT lON.—BetWeen Chris tian and Catherine streets,and extendingfrom Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth street, an im provement in the building line has just been completed eh promises tv attract attention here and elsewhere. A plot of ground has been laid out with a fifty-feet wide street run- Mug from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth street, called St. Alban's Place. On each side pressed-brick front houses have been erected. They are three stories high,the third being in the form of a mansard room, and al though the dwellings are of moderate size-16 feet I ront—they contain all the modern conve niences, and are finished iu the most complete manner. Walnut doors, plate-glass windows and inside shutters add to the attractive an tea i anch' of the fronts. But Ihe feature of the unpruvenit in is the street on which these houses front. St. Alban's is not to be a public thoroughfare for vehicles, although not dosed to pedestrians. The fifty feet from house to house is laid out with a fourteen feet sidewalk on each side, while the space from curb to curb is appropriated to a garden, ex tending the entire stillare, and enclosed with a neat iron ittilibg. Three fountains are placed within the garden, and to 'still further beautify the enclosure, terracotta vases for flowers and terracotta statues are scattered about with an -eye to effect. The result of - this arrangement if; that the ilfty-tWo,houses; designed - - for persolis of moderate faCe a garden width the irroudest and best of . our citizens would be glad .to possess as au adornthent of their premises. --'rbestreet 4. without exception - ono Of if - I'e finest in the city, and can only be compared to Spring Garden street between Thirteenth and Broad, it the sidewalks there were extended over the roadway to, the grass-plot, and the garden there Nt'as adorned with fountains, statuary and flowers. In order to compensate for a cartway in front of the dwellings, Mr. C. M. S. Lodie, the"owner;:has laid_out_and &Ai- , sated to public use,a t welve.feet wide street in - ' he rear of the houses. These two streets will give acceSs-to the bonses for fttrniture,, coal Witl all the nemsuries Of the household, while the front is reserved for promenade and gar den. The improvement is understood to be the commencement of a series upon the same gen ••ral plan in the neighborhood of St. Albales Place. . A BOLD ACT--ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AT . THE NAVY YARD—THE- PAYMASTER'S .SAFE _lt EMOTED FROM This Oriricn.—This morning about three o'clock the officer of the day at the Navy Yard noticed a man walking about the yard in the neighbothood of the officers' quarters. The sentinel upon duty was called upon for an -explanation. The-man --was butimmodiately ran to the wall, clam bered over and escaped. It was then noticed that two' stools bad been so arranged as to make this act .quite• easy. Things. began to look a little suspicious, and before a further examination could be made two men rushed out of a rear door of the building occupied as the officers' quarters, and attempted to fol low the man, - who was evidently a confederate. ho quick were their movements that one got away. The sentinel raised his musket and threatened to shoot the other, who, by this time was on top of the wall. The fellow hes itated a moment and then thought it best to give - up. He according got down from the wall and was placed under guard. The officers' quarters were then examined, and it became evident that these bold thieves who planned a robbery to be committed in a place surrounded by high walls and guarded by United States marines, had concealed them' selves yesterday afternoon,before the yard was closed, in a cellar which is only used when whitewashing is being done about the yard. -After the offices had been closed they passed to the first floor and first fastened the front door with gimblets. They then broke open the door leading to the Paymaster's office. 'The fire-proof safe was removed from the apartment into the entry and was finally braced against the wall. Operations were then commenced upon the door, and two holes had been bored when the robbers were disturbed. The fellow , first - seen on the.OutsideWa.S - Oti the - watch,.and he notified his companions of dan ger by means of a string which.nassed through window, and had a large white .ball_ _on. the end.- This string was •• found, as were also a dark lantern, a hugdjimmy, a powerful steel brace and several bits. The tools were all-6f the best workmanship. There was also found a piece of iron which, belonged to the cellar. The man who was captured refused to give any name. On his person was found a ticket from Utica to Philadelphia. Detectives Franklin and Lukens, who visited the yard, this morning, .do not know the fellow. but think that he is a New York thief. He had in his , pocket a lady's' 'watch, with black. enameled ;---set with --pearls-- -and--- diamonds, -and letter.. on- one side. The " watch is numbered 28,1.19; makers, Breitling - & Laederich, Cheaux de Fond,Suisse. Attached to it there is a twisted chain. These are supposed to bo the proceeds of another robbery. There were also found on his person three screws, which fitted in one of the tools found. The_ robbery was wellplanned, and came very near being successfully carried out. The thieves expected to get abolit 5200,000, which was supposed would be sent from Washington yesterday to pay off the_ employi2s, to-day be ing pay-day. - ,ItITENILE-THIEV-ES-CAPTURED.—The house of_Wilhatn-S.-Hanself, No. 1410--Arch-street,." was broken into about six o'clock this morn ing by three - boys. - They got into - the yard, and one climbed through the transom -into the-kitchen.
