The importance of having a good landing the Delaware front or on the Christiana, very ita mouth, is too plain to need explanation. Its value has been admitted for a long time, and the advantage whioh the oity would reap by hav ing a whaif, at whioh the various river lines could land, is apparent to all. A movement is now wharf at the foot of Q street, just below the month of the Christiana. 3d Street bridge, this landing will be 1% miles distant, and the avenue leading to it made, at a moderate cost, the wharf itself will coet 910,000., the fllllng-in, Ac . $5,000.,and the erection of a suitable store house and dwelling. $5,000. more, making the whole expense, $20,000. it ie propoeed to organize a company, undor a charter obtained Legislature and secure of stock.

But to ascribe the quality of gran • leur to it, is to be in error. Let give it ita proper name — the "Masonic Opera House."
