ELEGANT SILVER WARE.-The elegant
and substantial plated, white metal aud
nickel silver goods man ufActured BY Simp-
Eon, Hall & Co., 10 John street, New York,
are acknowledged to be unsurpassed by any
in the market. They have stood the test
for years and are steadily gaining in pOpu-
lArity. The wsll-knOwn jswelry house Of
Bromley 4 Co., in this city, have dealt sx-
cluSivsly in these goods for the past five
years, and during the tine have never had a
piece returned, or heard any fault whatever
found with them, although all their sales
have been made with the distinct under
standing that the purchaser should return
the goods if they did not prove to be as re-
commended and az good as any in the mar
kst. Bromley & Co. have large stock of
them on hand, and in a few days will re-
esive large acceSsions. They announce
that they will sell at the very forrest figures,
and will warrant every article of the white
metal and nickel silver goods to give salts
faction. The public are cordially invited to
call and examine their goods and Judge for
themselves OF their merit.

DEATH OF CAPT. THRoCKMORroS.-Cspt
ain Joseph Throekmorton of the steamer
Montana, died at II o'clock and % min
utes this morning Nov. 23d, aged ~
years. he was 9 prominent and respected
citizen Of New York before be came west.
He built his first steamboat at Pittsburgh,
Pa, in A. ID. 1927 and ran her in 1928 and
onward between St. Louis and GaenA,
making occasional trips to Prairie Du Chen
and Fort SnelIiDg. Capt. I. was not only
one of the oldest stssmboA, masters on the
western rivers, bat he has been in command
Of steamboats, a longer time, than any other
captain on the western waters. Throughout
his eventual career he has sustained the
character Of an excellent commander. a
gentleman, and true christian. The re-
mains will be taken to St. Louis to night,
where the funeral will be held. The public
sincerity sympstbizs with his excellent fam
lily and their friends.

A SuGGEsrIoN.-THE Argus suggests TO
the Directors Of the Free Library and
Reading Room to provide q table, with CON.
Portable seats, and set it apart for the eIclO-
siVs use of ladies, so thAtAny lady can go to
the Library or Reading Room and feel that
abe has exclusive rights there. There are
many days in which ladies have q spare
hour or two, and they would, il
such an arrangement was made,
pass some Of their leisure 10 The
Library or Reading Rooms. For any lady
to feel tina. she has a right 10 such q seat,
and that an attendant 10 provided to bring
her book, magazine or periodical, would
be gratifying. The Directors should see to
this. And also provide . table where any
one who wishes to write, can do 90. By all
proper me ans, let Us encourage the attendance
of ladies, who, by their presence exert q
restraining and refining influence on the
rOugAsr sex.

BRIDGE MATTERS.

At 1870 P. NJ. to-day 1.-THE 2Sd) we called
on Col. MAoomb TO inquire the state of Af-
fairs regarding the opening Of the bridge.
He handed uS the following telegram which
was marked as having been received here at
ASS P. NJ. (Thursday) the day of its date
NEW YoRK, Nov 81.
Col. J. H. Macomb.-You can throw open
Rock Island Bridge to the public durirg the ice
embargo. VIZ. W. BELksAP'
Secretary of War.
Col. MAoomb remarked that, OF course,
this had reference only to the bridge under
his charRI-ths main railroad aud carriage
bridge over the Mississippi, and not to any
portion of the roadway or the Sylvan Water
Bridge. He also said that it would be per
csived that under the wording of this tele-
gram there was no restrictions as to what
might pass. But he bad made some re-
strictions and posted them on the Iowa end
of the bridge, as to combustibles
Ii would not answer to allow
hay, straw, gunpowder, or eombustibles, foI
the reason that spark Of FIRE from loco
motive above might thus be the means Of
destroying the bridge. Neither would cattle
be allowed, or bulky lOads, such as barrels, o.
anything which would occupy more thar
oue-half the passAgewsy over the bridge.
| As soon as We received the copy of Gen
Belknsp's telegram from Col. MGcomb, W,
sent a messenger to Col. Flaglsr, at the Ar
seual, to inquire for news there. At 3 P. NJ
our messenger returned, saying that Co
Flagler received him very politely but Assur
ed him that he had received no Telegram
from the Secretary of War in regard to open
iLg the route across the Island to the pub

especially when the man happens to be as
pleasant gentleman as Ben Harper,
Esq and Ben Harper makes his grand
