These volumes; It is believed, will be found to present the first connected outline of the history of Royal women prior to the Norman Conquest. A narrative of the leading features of such a period can not fall, it Is hoped, to prove a useful study ; for the,e personal records' of the wives and daughters of our early monarchs, form naturally the connecting link between many public events .which would otherwise remain detached and uninteligible. From the laof tWe he 'sli bards, from Gildas, and Jeffrey of Monmouth, down to the latest publications, which have thrown light on the history of the early British reigns, nothing has been neglected in the work n ox presented to the pu ilia which might conduct to truth, and offer a clear and interesting series of records of those female sove reigns whose lives are so much less familiar to the English reader than others of a later period, who have found able recent biographers, —Extract from thc. , Intro‘luction.

GEORGE'S GAL LERY. elyde pork-conter, Picoadilly, an ORIENTAL MU,EUM. or a Grand Exhibition of Turk sh Curiosities; consisting of the richest and most varied costnuies, both ancient and modern, displayed on wax figures, life-size, executed in the finest style, and illustrative of not only the abolished institution of the far-famed Janissaries, the renowned militia of the Turkish empire, with their ancient uniform and armour, but also of the various modes ot the present day of the Osmanlis. The figures are highly characteristic, and the materials of the costumes selected from the richest Oriental fabrics, with the strictest adaptation to the habits and castes of the people which they are designed to represent. No expense or labour has been spared to tender this Exhibition worthy of the attention and patronage of the British public, and we have been assured by persons of the greatest distinction,thst a more accurate and satisfactory impression of the true oriental taste aid style, lo , th of former times, as well as of the present day, may be obtained by an hour passed in this Museum, than is usually gained by many miles of travel. The most implicit truthfulness has been maintained in all the arragements ; and many items which would be curious even to the native inhabitants of Stamboul, are here given to the world in all their primitive originality. Tne gorgeous cos tumes of bygone days, the days of the turbaned and robed Osmanli, remembered only in the past, are now revived and displayed in all their natural and exquisite beauty. Apart from all intrinsic merit, it is hoped that the great sympathy now felt by the British public for the Tutkish nation will insure the success of this most interesting and truly unique Turkish Exhibition. The undersigned being the sole managers ot this Oriental Museum, all matters relating to the Exhibition will be transacted by them, and all communications must be addressed to them conjointly.

I immediately went on to the quarter-deck and asked Colonel Moore if he had any orders to give. His reply was, that he had not got any orders to give, except to keep the men quiet and prevent them from getting into the boats. Dr. M‘Griggor and myself endeavoured to do so, but the boats, I believe, were lowered by some of the crew. This might have been about 20 minutes after I had heard the alarm of fire. I never saw the gig go away, but when the colonel de sired me to prevent the men from taking the boats I disco vered she was gone. I consider that my men were obedient to orders until they saw the boats lowered and pulling away from the ship, when they endeavoured to get into them. I left the ship, having been pushed into the boat with Lieut. Black, Dr. M‘Griggor, Cornet Timson, and the second mate, several soldiers and crew, with a woman, amounting in num ber to 27. I heard that oue of the crew cut the boat adrift to prevent her, from swamping. After drifting about for about an hour we were taken in tow by the Admiralty agent's gig, in which were the first and third mate, the clerk, and two of the ship's crew. We got on board the Kennet Kings ford schooner about midnight. I heard Mr. Black urge the captain of the schooner to ruu down to the wreck; but he said he was afraid of the fire and of her_ blowing up. I also asked the man to go down to her, and at the same time inquired what had become of the boats. The first mate replied that they had gone adrift. I do not know how that happened, and was astonished to hear it, and expressed my astonish ment, as they might have been used in saving the people on the wreck. We remained in the schooner until taken pn hoard her Majesty's ship Tribune. I know nothing of the origin of the fire, but heard Private Nugent say that one of the seamen's berths was on fire the previous day, and I re ported the circumstance WEIR, Cat. Carnegie. A.

The steamship Ame rice, which arrived at Liverptra yesterday, has placed u e in possession of important in formation relating to L ird Elgin's mission to the - United States. The following particulit.rs may be relied upon : Lord Elgin, on the departure- of the America fwd' Liverpool, wd's Ali - out to leave Washiag.en, after having' completed a ver7 importa att treaty with the Government of the United States. The chief features of thi.s treaty are, that the , citizens of the United States are tap enjoy the same privileges in regard to fishing as are po esessed by the colonists ian all the coasts of the British _Worth American provineoe— that is, they will obtain the • right of fishing Within th. Tee miles of all bays, inlets, coy. ri', &c. They will be allowed 1 to erect and carry on fishii n establishments on British North American territory. The naval force hitherto kept up by Great Britain to protect the provincial fishermen will be removed. in exchange for these great privileges there is to be complete reciprocity and free trade between the U tilted States and the pro vinces in all articles the produce of each, with the exception of sugar and tobacco, comi n g f r om the United States, w hich are to ' pay the same duties as are levied upon these articles 'when arriving from British colonies or other parts of the world. Maneifitetured articles, although manufactured from products ,of either country, are not to be admitted under the terms of the treaty. As Canada —especially Western Canacla—is daily becoming a more wheat pro ducin g countr y , • the operation rf t hat treaty cannot fail to be at once of g. at importaiice to the province, and its already imme. vse 1 lumbering trade will also receive a fresh impetus fro In the treaty. An efYort was made by Lord Elgin to obtait American registers for vessels built at Quebec, St. John's, and the other ship building ports of the province ; but the American Gov( Tament declined to entertain that proposal. Lord Elg in would, after visiting New York, leave that city on the 7th inst., to accept an invitation which he had received from the Mayor and municipali t y of Portland, after which he proceeds on the following day over the Grand function Railway to Montreal, where (also at Quebec) great preparations are making to receive his excellency on his return after a seven months' absence. The steam-ship America, by which the preceding in telligence was received, brings advices frot,n New York to the 6th, Boston to the 7th, and Halifax to the Bth inst. She passed the Royal Mail steam-ship ;Viagra off Boston at 8.15 p.m. on the 7th. The America' brought 130 passengers and 590,000 dollars in specie, a Portion of which is for French merchants. The steam-ship Daniel Webster Arrived at Noel ' Or. leans on the sth inst , , with ad vices from California tt i the 15th u!l;.—two weeks' later news than previonslf re ceived. She reports 1,500,000 dollars being ea r" lc for New _York, per the Star of the West steamer. steamer El Dorado, arrived at New Orleans same day from Aspinwall, reports the George Law, with the mails and passenge,-s from California, with 1,000,000 dollars in specie, as having left Aspinwall on the 31st ult. ft'lr New York. The health of the Isthmus was reportem. excellent. The ...evolution in Nicaragua is reported to ' have resulted in the complete success of the insurgents. The excitement with reference to the recent Greytewn troubles had completely died away. A great riot took place at Brooklyn on the 4th inst., between a number of American Protestants and Irish Roman Catholics, in the course of which several shots were exchanged and a number of personi were wounded, but none had proved fatal at the last accounts. Farther disturbances are apprehended, and the military have been ordered to hold them, elves in readiness. At Cutchogne, Long Island, an awful tragedy hew' taken place. Three persona were murdered—Jamog Wickham, Esq , and his wife and servant negro boy by a discharged domestic named Dane. The details are most horrible, the butchery of the unfortunate vic tims having been effected with a hatchet. The mur derer, after a day's search, was captured in a wood : ho had, previous to his arrest, attempted to commit suicide, but failed. Money in the market was more stringent, owing to heavy payments falling due and a few failures. Sterling exchange was firm at 109 to 1094. Stocks rather agi tated and drooping. In the cotton market there was a slight alteration ; prices had given way a little—k cent. within a week. Trade was dull. The flour market quite firm. Prices ranged from 81 / to 12 dollars. Wheat has advanced from five to eight cents. ..... .:-.. ....AI:- ~,‘. , • , I s k;:' 4 ":4, 4 :- z. - ,4 . ''''o - f. r ..

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, triegularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, an who ar cnscious of haying hazarded the health happiness, and pr d ivileges e to o which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal maniieement which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, arid how the evil and its con•equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any del - 1W of physical iniirtnlty or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cn.nnot apply a cure.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. From an interesting report of the Local Board ol Health for the parochial district of Regent Square Church, St. Pancras, we learn that the population of the district is about 9,900, giving an average of nine persor to each house, there being 1,100 houses included in the district, disp.sed in the following- manner : 415 of the higher classes ; 685 of the lower classes (113 dwellings in mews bein , included in the latter number)—togetlier snaking 1,1007 which is 1-17th part of the houses in the parish of St. Pancras, or 1-280th part of the whole num ber of inhabited houses of London, according to the re turns of the last census. During the past six months the inspector has made 1,453 personal inspections in va rious parts of the district, 130 notices and letters have been served up on 63 different landlords—requirig the removal and abatement of nuisances ,existing on their premises ; 172 separate dwelling houses have been in cluded in the above notices, in connectio less n less " than hich 1,101 vis its have been made. No 639 separate sources of infe c ti o n have been, or are a b ou t being abolish ed, by the removal of cessps, the renew/of drains, the re newal of sinks, and the re- eel of mov al of refuse. Ta kin g the avera g e su p erficial area each cesspool t o be about eight square feet, they have s ucceeded in closing , or are now causing to be closed, 1,344 square feet of excrementitious matter (of an ave rage depth of 2 feet 6 inches), the exhalations from which form the most injurious description of infectious effluvia. Taking the average length of the drains of y eac h house to be 30 feet only, they have caused or are n ow causing the renewal orC leansing of 5,1 00 line al feet of foul house drains. More than half of the works required to be done in the district are now complet ed in a systematic manner, and the total expenses incurred by the board, including printing and inspe c tor's salary' has been less than fifty pounds. This is w h a t has been effected in a fe,v months in this district, which contains but the 280th part of the total number of the inhabited houses of London. Is it, therefore, unreasonable to assert (adds the report) that 280 times the good might have been achieved in the same time, had l means been resorted to, by every district in the w metr op on li is os ? Granting the fairness o f this assertion, inter, the conv less than icti forced upon us that , durin g the pqst no m S a 177,920 separate sou rces of} infection ight have been abolished, or in c o u rse of anihilation ; cres of eva porating surface of cceca l matter w ith an average depth of 2 feet 6 in.) might have been obliterated; 270 miles of foul house drains_ might have bee c h rency . fed,cleansed, or in co - urso 0f Veing so treated. TA.TTERSALL T S—YesTenDAY. There was a full attendance throughout the afternoon, and, considering all the untoward circumstances which have for some time past " troubled" the course of specu lation, the settling on the Ascot events was comparatively smooth and harmless. At intervals the Northumberland Plate and the Derby received some attention. For the former Aribbas main tained his position as first favourite, and 7 and 6 to I were taken about The Early Bird, notwithstanding some City shots at 100 to 7 against him in the course of the forenoon. Grapehot and Kingston were on a par with him, and a good deal of confidence appeared to be place in Baalbec. The Derby betting is already marked by short pricee' —lO to 1 agst Grreculus Esuriens, 15 to 1 agst Oulstou; 20 to 1 agst the Flatterer, and 25 to 1 each agst Bonnie Morn and Dirk Hatterick were taken to various sums. 30 to 1 was laid once or twice in ponies agst Bonnie Morn, but 25 to 1 was the current price at the close.

SALE OF YEARLINGS FROM THE ROYAL PADDOCKS. The undermentioned yearlings from the royal paddoeins at Hampton Court were sold yesterday at Tattersatree and realised prices which showed that the selection of mares had been most judicious; and there is no doub'4 that if the stud was upon the same scale that was ob served in the reign of William IV., it would again be come not only profitable, but would tend to preserve to our own country the best blood of our thoroughbred horses. A few days before the sale a brother to Voltigeur and a sister to Grapeshot, two of the finest yearlings in the stock, unfortunately broke their legs, and were de stroyed.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT 0 N THE RIVER AT RICHMOND, —EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF LIFE.— Sunday evening at sunset a pain fill sensation was created amongst the holiday seekers and aristocratic sojourners of Richmond who were brea thing the fresh air on the banks of the Thames by an a ccident on the river, which it was feared would be attended with fatal consequences, but which fortunately, through some singular and, in deed, extraordinary circums , Lances, did not terminate so distressingly. It appears that as a pleasure boat, in which were a lady and gent Leman was makibg up the river towards Richmond -bridge, it came in collision with another light barque, which had the effect of completely overturning its opponent, an, f capsizing its occupants into the water. For some time tl is excited spectators on the banks gave both parties up f Dr lost, and their horror was more keenly depicted when they saw the lady gradually sinking, until in a second or so she disappeared under the water. The gentleman, whip at first appeared confused, and continued to buffet with e tide, which, running s t ro ng at the time, rapidly bore th hflow no soon er perceived the perilous situation of his fair companion, than he boldly and determirtedly dashed forward, the threatened fate of his compan ion lending impulse to his arm. Upon coming to the spot where she had disap peared, he immediately flit ed down after her, and through the shallowne:;s and f,;ransparency lifeless corp ed lying at the bottom. As qtiick as thought, he snatch her from her perilous position, and upon gaining the sur face of the water a boat vas in readiness, in which, without delay, she was con s-eyed to the shore, and car ried into a neighbouring ho tel, where a warm bath was instantly procured and inedl.cal assistance called iu. All supposed that the vital spar' fc had fled, and that all as sistance would be unavailin: when, to their great sur prise, Within a brief period it was announced that the lady had so far recovered as t o be enabled to proded home in the course of a few hours.. The gentleman who mated go Uroaillt 'My THE WAR NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE• By a letter from Singapore, dated the 29th of April, we learn that intelligence had been received by Rear- Admiral Sir James Stirling, of the Russian squadron on the China station having sailed to the north of Japan. The Spartan, 26, Captain Sir Win. Hoste, and the Bar racouta, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Parker, were ex petting orders to start immediately for China. The Sybille, 40, Captain the Hon. C. G. J. B. Elliot, was to remain at Singapore, where also were lying at the date of our letter the Lily, 12, Commander Sanderson ; Rat tler, 8, Commander Mellersh ; and Rapid, 8, Com mander Blane. The Admiral had shifted his flag from the latter vessel into the Barracouta. The Sidon, 22, paddle-frigate, Captain Goldsmith, ar rived at Constantinople on the 3d, with two prizes in tow, and nearly 200 Russian prisoners of war. The Banshee, 4, despatch-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Reynolds, sailed on the 3d from Constantinople, with the mail for the fleet. The Caradoc, steam despatch-vessel, Lieutenant-Com . mander Derriman, sailed on the 3d, with Rear-Admiral Boxer, superintendent of the transport service in the East, and a distinguished mineralogist on board to in spect the coal mines in the Black Sea. They proceeded to Heraclia, Kasloo, and Zungeldak, and at the two latter places found a considerable quantity seadylor shipment. The coal, particularly that at Zungeldak, is of a very superior quality, and could be delivered on board ship for considerably less than 1/. per ton. A vast saving to our Government would result from the British fleet being supplied from this source, but to accomplish it the work ing of the mines must pass from Turkish into English hands. The Terrible, paddle frigate, Captain M'Cleverty, ar rived at Kosloo on the 3d to coal: She would sail thence on the sth. She reports that while cruising off Sebas topol on the 30th of May two two-deckers, two frigates, and five steamers stood out to attack her. They chased for an hour and a half, when she went on full speed and reported the circumstance to Admiral Dundas. The Inflexible, 6, paddle sloop, Commander Popple : well, arrived at Kosloo on the 3d to coal. The Banshee and Caradoo arrived at Constantinople on the sth. Mr. Wilberforce, mate of the Britannia, is appointed Acting-Lieutenant of the Trafalgar, vice Hope Johnston, to the Flag-Lieutenant to his father, Rear-Admiral Johnston, the newly-appointed Commander-in-Chief on the south-east coast of America station. Lieutenant Douglass R.M.A., of the Furious, had two of his fingers severely injured by the accidental dis charge of his fowling-piece while loading it. Lieutenant Royse, of the Firebrand, has been in valided. The Vesuvius, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Powell, left Constantinople for Baltschick on the 6th to join the fleets. The Simoom and Megmra, iron troop-ships, the Cy clops steam transport, ad the Sidon, Caradoc, and Banshee were lying at Constinople on the 3th inst. Our letters from Malta, dated June 12, says : "The Manilla, Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, arrived here yesterday from Constantinople, and proceeded on her passage to Southampton. " The Orinoco left port yesterday on her passage to Eng land. She had on board nearly all the wives of the soldiers servin g in the East. Several of these women are in the greatest distress, and on reaching England have no home to which to proceed. " The Emeu, from Constantinople, arrived this morn ing, and is to proceed to England during the day. "The Stromboli steamer arrived on Saturday night, and having filled up her coal proceeded to the eastward, after a short detention. " Another prize was brought in on Friday last from Con stantinople, under charge of Mr. H. J. Challis, mate of the Firebrand steamer. She is an lonian brig of 150 tons, and loaded with oil. We have now three prizes in port, but, as there is no judge of the Admiralty Court as yet appointed, it may be some time yet erg the necessary for malities for their condemnation can be carried out. 7r" On Friday a melancholy accident took place here. Four sergeants of the 68th Light Infantry went out in a small English pleasure boat, a present to the sergeants' mess by Lieutenant-Colonel Smyth. The weather was fine, but the breeze was strong, and in tacking to put back she capsized. The four men—David 'Thompson, William Johnson, Henry M'Callagh, and John Talbot—threw off their clothe, as soon as possible and hung on to the keel of the boat, but in a short time M'Callagh fell off exhausted, and sunk, and in a few minutes after Talbot shared the same fate. The two others were more fortunate, and suc ceeded in maintaining their hold for a period of three hours, when the French transport schooner Amphitrite, which was passing, took them off and brought them in on Satur day morning. The survivors, considerably exhausted, were removed to the hospital, and are doing well. " The allied fleets were by the last advices partly at Baltschik and partly at Varna, assisting at the disembark ing of the troops destined for thel relief of Silistria. " After the landing of the troops the ships were to renew the blockade of Sebastopol. The flying squadron was to proceed to attack the forts of Anapa. Such, at least, is the tenor of letters received by the Emeu to-day, although it is admitted that the greatest secresy is observed as to the contemplated movements. " The Maltese barqueVenus, on the Ist inst., was run in to at sea, in let. 36 10 N, long. 3.28 E, near Cape Sacralif, while on her voyage to England, in ballast. The vessel that ran into her is thought to be an English barque, and did her much damage, carrying away her bowsprit, her cut water, foretopmast, maintopgallatit masts, yards, booms, &c., on account of which she was obliged to bear up for this port, which she reached on the 10th inst. "The only addition to the arrival of troops since my last is that of the Arabia transport (No. 83) from Liverpool, on the 21st of May, which arrived here yesterday." A mail for the Baltic fleet will be made up this even ing at the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, and forwarded through Denmark to Dantzic to the care of the British Consul. One of the steamers will be sent to Dantzic to receive this mail and carry it on to the fleet. The 20 days' notice required by the Court of Admiralty having expired, the undermentioned Russian vessels will forthwith be condemned as lawful prizes to their captors, namely, the Catharine Charlotte, Daniel Cannel, master, taken by her Majesty's steamer Conflict ; the Industrie, Neilson Fuhl, master; the Carl Magnus, Ressemus, mas ter, also prizes to the Conflict ; the Fabian, Berghen stein, master, taken by her Majesty's steamer Euryalus ; and the Johann., Alexander Uldshom, master, taken by her Majesty's steamer Bull-dog. Rear-Admiral Martin, Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, struck his flag last evening on board the St. Vincent, 101, Captain Eliott, in Portsmouth harbour, and went on short leave. The Colossus, 80, screw ship, was commissioned yes terday morning at Portsmouth, by Lieutenant Dawson, for Captain Robinson, and several of her officers have joined. She is under the shears in the steam factory basin, completing the shipment of her machinery. The Myrmidon, 4, iron steamvessel, Lieutenant-Com mander W. K. Julliffe, lately from the coast of Africa station, is ordered to be paid off at Portsmouth, and is returning stores and dismantling with that object. The Locust, 3, steamvessel, Lieutenant -Commander Day, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead yesterday afternoon. Her crew have been paid wages, and she will embark mails for the fleet in the Baltic to morrow, when she will sail. Yesterday the Lords of the Admiralty gave notice at Lloyd's that transports were required to convey several hundred tons of oats to Varna, on the Black Sea, for the cavalry horses, also to convey 140 tons of provisions from the River Thames, 500 tons from Gosport, and 250 tons from Plymouth to Malta, and 300 tons of naval stores from the Thames to the Mediterranean. Yesterday the transport Arthur the Great, No. 28, arrived off Folkestone from the river, en route for the East. The Rhadamanthus steam-transport, Master Com , mander Belam, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morn , ing from Woolwich, with machinery for the f new screw corvette Harrier, ordered to be equipped or commis sion with the utmost despatch. 200 non-commissioned officers and men of the Hon. East India Company's service will march from \\Tuley barrack; on Tuesday, th e 20th inst., for Gravesend, and embark there for a passage to India. The first division of the 80th Regiment of Foot, con sisting of 151. non-commissioned officers and men, ar rived at Gravesend, from Calcutta, on Friday last, and on disembarking there proceeded by the North Kent Railway to Strood, where they were met by the band of the Provisional Battalion from Chatham, and played to St. Mary's barracks in that garrison. The men appear to be much worn, and many o f them will no doubt have to be invalided, although' not many are now invalided who are by appearance fit for depot service. They left India without knapsacks, as they were destroyed in Burmali, and they came ashore with haversacks only. They embarked at Calcutta on the 14th of February, and have been four months and two days on their pas- sage. The detachment of the Woolwich division of Royal y Marines for servicein the Colossus, 80, screw steam-ship, and the men who have volunteered from the Woolwich division for service in the Royal Marine Artillery left the dockyard station of the North Kent Railway at half past eight a.m. yesterday, en rOUte for Portsmouth.

George Nugent, private 6th Dragoons, saith —That I am a private in the 6th Dragoons. I assisted in putting a fire out in one of the seamen's berths at 11 o'clock a.m. of the morning of the 31st of May. I am not certain whether it was on the morning or the day before the fire. The fire consisted of the burning of a pair of woollen stockings which were ignited by a pipe, but extinguished immediately with two tins of water. GEORGE NUGENT. Taken and sworn before us— S. PAGET, J.P. G. GREY, J.P. AN EXPLANATION BY THE CHIEF MATE OF THE STATE MENTS MADE BY LIEUTENANT BLACK, MR. GARDNER (MASTER), AND LIEUTENANT AND ADJUTANT WEIR, WHICH WERE READ TO HIM. Joseph Ginder (chief mate) s'ates,When I came aft on the poop for priming for a gun, I found that the powder canisters had been removed from where I left them. The quarter boats hal been lowered, and there was great confu sion among the troops and seamen, several of whom were en deavouring to lower the stern boat. There were about four or five men in the boat at this time lowering the starboard side, and I looked over the stern and saw that the gripe was not cast off; the starboard tackle was then let go, and the stern of the boat fell in tbe water. By the sudden jerk of the boat falling I was pitched into her, but endeavoured to reach the deck of the ship by climbing up the tacky, but could not do it, as when I was about to catch hold of the bumpkin my hand slipped, and I fell in the water a second time. The bow tackle was then cut or let go ; we were then adrift, and the boat half-full of water. The ship was going about four knots through the water. We had nothing but a pair of slippers with which to bale the water out of the boat. I picked up a boat with Lieutenant Black and 26 men, and towed them to the Kennet Kingsford schooner. The reason for my not re turning to the burning vessel was that the boats were cast adrift by some person ou board the schooner. JOSEPH GINDER. City, Garrison, and Territory of Gibraltar. Li e utenant John Riedy Black, saith,—That as near as I can recollect, about 10 o'clock of the evening of the 31st, I had just gone to bed, when I heard the alarm of fire. I immedio ately got up, ran ham to the main deck, where I found the second mate busy with the hose, and the soldiers passing water along in the buckets. Both the master and chief mate were busy in the fore peak, where the fire had originated, trying to extinguish the fire, but so rapid was the progress of the fire that they were obliged to come on deck. The master then came to me and told me there was no chance of saving the ship. I then thought that the best thing I could do was to see about the boats, when both soldiers and sailors leaped into the quarter-boats, and they were under no control what ever. I heard the master distinctly say that these men would uo doubt be all drowned. I then looked over the stern, and found my gig gone. About 10 min utes, and about 20 from the first alarm, there was a boat on the skids, abaft the main mast, weighing about two tons, and which was too heavy to be got overboard ; there was also another boat on the star board side of the quarter-deck, which we turned up, and, with a great deal of difficulty, we lifted it up on the poop rail, when I got into it, and was launched overboard with the intention of preventing confusion and hanging on astern. The second mate was also in this boat, and hailed the master to send him some oars, as there were none in the boat ; but this the master refused to do, and said, " But if we send you oars you will leave us." Both quarter boats had left the ship full of men, and were out of sight, the night being xlark, with wind and rain. In the boat in which I was we picked up 26 persons, but had no opportu nity of picking up others. In this boat the officers were the adjutant, the surgeon, the cornet, and the second mate.'“ We were then let g o from the ship, and is this state,. without oars, we were left to the mercy of the waves. In consequence of seeing a light to windward, we all shouted aloud, when the agent's gig came alongside and took us in tow. I found in my gig the chief officer, the third officer, and the clerk ; Mr. Ginder, the first officer ; Mr. Stokes, the third officer; and Mr. Noble, the clerk—there being but five per sons iu all in this boat. She was a 24-foot boat. I should have had no difficulty in taking 14 men more in her. We were a mile from the ship when m y gig came up with us. saw Colonel Moore several times on the poop and quarter deck during the fire. He appeared very cool and collected. The flames were so violent that all discipline was at an end. Had my gig remained alongside the ship many more men, in my oinion, might have been saved. We were picked up b the scphooner Kennet Kingsford, with two other boats, making in all 49 persons. I requested the captain of the schooner to go down to the wreck and try to save some more men, but this he refused, stating that ho was afraid of the sparks from the fire ; I being still under the impression that there were several hands on the hen-coops and floating spJ. ars. R. BLACK. Taken and sworn before us— G. GREY, J. P. S. PAGET, J. P. City, Garrison, and Territory of Gibraltar. William Gardiner saith,—That I was master of the transport Europa. At 10 p.m., on the night of the 31st ult., the colonel and myself were sitting by the cabin table, when the alarm of fire was given ; and I immediately ran below, and found fire blazing in the store-room in the front peak. I wont inside the store-room myself, and, with the chief mate, I threw water on the fire, which was passed tons by the soldiers. The fire had com plete hold of the ship, and our efforts were in vain. Finding' could not put out the fire, I went on deck, and told Lieut. Black, the Admiralty agent, that it was impossible to save the ship ; but in order to save lives we bore up for a bark and a brig. I then went on the poop, and gave the necessary orders, which were obeyed, and directed the seamen to clear away, but not to lower the boats. At this time the chief mate was clearing out the magazine, and the second mate superintend ing the force pump below. The soldiers at that time appeared to be alarmed, and some of them attempted to get into the boats. They were immediately ordered back by the colonel and myself, which the men obeyed. To prevent the men froth' doing so again we called the adjutant, who was there, and de sired him not to allow any soldiers in the boats, as they would bo lost. I then, with the intention of going below again, went with Col. Moore to see whether the force pump was used with any effect. We had got on the quarter-deck from the poop, when I heard by the sound that both quarter boats were lowered: I immediately ran to the mizen rigging close to the boats' davits, and observed to Dr. MlGriggor, who was standing there, that those men were certainly all lost. Imme diately afterwards I looked aft, and saw that the wheel was deserted, and went there myself. I heard the lowering of the Admiralty agent's boat, she being let go by the run. At that time I had no idea what was in the boat. She appeared to get away from the ship instantly, and I had no opp ,rtunity of calling her back, as she disappeared so quickly. Col. Moore was standing by me at the time.' Judging by what the other boats carried, I think this one could 'have taken 14 men. I do not recollect seeing the third mate and clerk at all. I called for them at different times, but cannot say they heard me. The first mate, with the boatswain, exerted themselves in getting the powder out of the magazine. The last time I saw the chief mato he was on the poop, clearing away a gun by my orders, with the idea of making a signal. The magazine was in the after part of the ship, and the powder from which had been removed to the poop peek. After the gig was lowered and gone I called out to the chief mate and ship's company ; the second mate answered me with two men. I asked them where the chief mato was, and the second mate replied he did not know. Het hen with the greatest exertions got th e s p are quarterboat, owed oCommunica- n the skids of the quarterdeck , on to the poop.- tion with the gangway was then cut off. She was then launched off the poop into the water by the men, M Mr. Black and the cornet being t he onl y p eo p le in her. r. Bl ack, from his age, would otherwise have been unable to get into the boat. Sho was then dropped astern by a rope's end. The second mate:then' came to me, and told me it was th to e lasgo t oppor t un ity to get away from the ship, and asked me with him. I gave him permission, but refused to go myself, as I was still steering the ship. Colonel Moore was standing by me all the time. I pointed cut to him th a t this might be the last opportunity, but did not urge him myself to go, but heard somo of his own men do so. The colonel replied that he would do as I did, and asked what I intended to do. I replied, that we would save the men if possible, by setting down to the vessels to leeward, but while one remained by the wreck I would not desert her, there being between 20 and 30 souls still on board, and one woman among them. The last boat, with the Admiralty agent, left about half-past 11 o'clock, the colonel having replied to any last remark by " Do what you can for us, and I will stick by you to saying, All the officers are gone, the last." His men then said, and you, being an old man, ought to go also." He replied, " I don't care, although they are all gone I will not leave you." When the boat with the Admiralty agent dropped astern the second mato then got into her, and asked me to hand down . a couple of oar+. I refused, but told him to hang on astern, fearing that if as I I did so they wou ld then leave the ship, especially .ped this boat would be useful in removing the men to the ships for. which we were steering; this . reason I gave to the seedaud,raate. _-fit thisarlpme4.lllo.b94,lsakettst-adrift I,y some person in her. We were at this time going about ""' ~~: 411111 044 , -, • • , ."4"** - /e/ /ze „ z 1 , :-.".. ~.,,.:‘",,.. • four knots, the wind having billed. Immediately after this boat left Colonel Moore came to me again, and asked what I thought of doing ? I replied, that there was. no boat which it was possible could be moved; but, in order to encourage the men, I endeavoured to hoist out the horse-boat. There was then none of the ship's company on board, with the ex ception of the carpenter and one ordinary seaman. I then gave the wheel iu charge of a soldier, and went to assist the carpenter in getting the tackles on the bow-of the horse-boat. The proper tackles were unable to be got at, owing to the position of the fire. We found it quite impossible to move her, and were driven back by the flames coming up to the bow of the boat from the main batch. We then took refuge on the poop, in number about 30. At this time from the taffrail I could see a light; it was about a quarter to 12, and about a quarter of an hour after the last boat left the ship. I instantly imagined it to be a ship's light, and put the helm down iinmediat ly for the vessel to come up with us. We remained to the wind about 20 minutes, then lost sight of the light, which I have heard since was a light on board the schooner Kennet Kingsford. When I lost sight of the light I then thought it must have been a light shown by one of the boats. I then bore up again, but during the time the ship had been to the wind the flames had so increased that they had lapped around to the mizen chains, the colonel still standing by me. The lee rigging being burnt through, and the ship being again before the wind, the first roll she gave This made her m the mainmast fell over th e port gangway. in a he n agea b thele,f andor foremast she ma unmanageable, after w ere rapidly consuming the poop.

To the best of my be lief it must have been at this ti me about 1 a.m. Observing three men on the wreck of the mainmast sitting on the rim of the top, in consequence of my recommending them to swim to it, I tried to persuade Colonel Moore to accompany me to this place of comparative safety ; but he said he could not go. Hearing from the men op the wreck of the mast that the flames were less violent forward, owing to the wind blowing the flames aft, I endeavoured to persuade Colonel Moore to accompany me to that part of the ship, without much hope of his being able to get there. I went as far as the main channels and came back again for him, but he could not at tempt it. I then told. the soldiers that if they Were able to do so to follow me. I then went forward, followed by the car penter and ono soldier, but the latter. was unable to get fur ther than the main channels, and was obliged to return. I never saw Colonel Moore again. I was taken off from the fore channels with the carpenter about 3 a.m. of the Ist inst., by the boat of the brig Clemanthe, which picked up 12 of us in all, including one soldier, who died in the boat. By some of these I was told that when the flames caught the mixer riggin and burnt it through, the colonel and several others, including the woman, fell overboard. The boat of the Clemanthe made two trips. I came back in her myself. The weather was moderate, with heavy rain. To the best of my belief, had the Admiralty agent's boat stopped by the ship she might have saved several eves. Having p u lled round the ship after t he last trip, I amconvinced that there were no survivors left on the wreck. GARDINER. Taken and sworn before us— S. PAGET, J.P. G. Gan', J.P. I knew nothing of the fire that took place in one of the seamen's berths, the day previous to the burning of the Europa, until I heard of it on board her Majesty's ship Tri bune, and from the position of the berth it is utterly impos sible th it it could have had any connexion with the burning of the ship. W. G. S. PAGET, J.P. G. GREY, J.P. THE KING OF POR TUGAL'S VISIT TO THE CITY. -- --- Yesterday, the King of Portugal and the Duke o, Oporto, attended by the Portuguese Ambassador and several distinguished persons, were received at the Mansion House by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common-Councilmen, at twelve o'clock, his Majesty having appointed that hour for receiving the address of the City. The members of the corporation appeared in state costume. Mr. JAMES ANDERTON, and Mr. Deputy Hour, the m over and seconder of t he address, handed the docu ment to Mr. Serjeant Merewether, the Town-Clerk, who read it in an impressive manner. It was as follows : "We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Commo n Council assembled, app your your Majesty to welcome your Majesty and your august brother, the Duke of Oporto, to this our ancient and loyal city, and to offer our congratulations on the auspicious visit of your Majesty and the Duke of Oporto to our beloved and gracious sovereign, Queen Victoria. " Impressed with feelings of deep interest in every cir curnstance calculated to affect the peace and happiness of mankind, we hail with sincere satisfaction the presence of your Majesty and that of your august brother in this country at this peculiar crisis in the affairs of Europe, as a certain indication of your Majesty's sentiment of friend ship and goodwill towards our beloved Sovereign and the people of these realms, and as a sure guarantee that your Majesty participates in our ardent wishes for the restora tion and establishment of universal peace. " We respectfully desire to express our earnest hope that your Majesty's visit may tend to perpetuate the friendly alliance which has for so many years happily existed between the Portuguese and British nations, and that your Majesty may long be spared to promote the best interests of the people over whom, by Divine Providence, your Majesty is destined to reign." The King of Portugal then read the following answer, which was, we were given to understand, written by his Majesty : "My lord mayor, I thank you and the aldermen and commons of the City of London, in my own name and in that of my brother, the Duke of Oporto, for the kind ex pressions with which you have welcomed us upon the occa sion of this our first visit to the city. The premature death of my dear and for ever lamented mother, the Queen Dona Maria 11., having obliged me to ascend a throne, which, however glorious, I would rather have ascended much later, I have u ndertaken this voyage, not for my amuse ment, but for my own instruction and for the purpose of better fitting myself hereafter to guide the destinies of the noble people over whom I am called to rule, and in doing so, I do but execute the late Queen's will. " Painful as are for me the circumstances which obliged me to quit my own country sooner than I would perhaps otherwise have done, it is a satisfaction for me that the first soil upon which I tread should be that of our most ancient and faithful ally, and that the first court I visit s hould be that of your gracious Sovereign, to whom, as well as to her Royal Consort, being already connected by ties of relationship, I am now attached by the deepest feel ings of friendship and gratitude for the cordial and affec tionate reception they have given me. " I cannot but acknowledge with the utmost satisfaction that the city of London, whose worthy representatives you arc, has been united by the most intimate relations with the city in which I was born, not only at a time in which European commerce was conducted by municipal corpora tions, by small republics who, in tho midst of monarchies, acted with almost sovereign independence, but also in modern times. These relations, I confidently hope, will be maintained for over. The friendship between England and Portugal has existed for centuries, and increased more and.more. " England has always fought for Portugal whenever her independence has been threatened. Our liberal institutions powerfully contribute to identify the feelings and interests of both countries. Throughout the course of my reign, my conduct and firm purpose will be, under the blessing of Divine Providence, both to maintain the institutions of my country, and to render more and moro close the re lation:i which have existed, and continue to unite t he two nations. ' (Loud cheers.) The royal party, a ttended by the Lord Mayor, alder men, and sheriffs, then proceeded to view the Bank, the Royal Exchange, the Stock Exchange, &c., &c., and returned at three o'clock to partake of a clejeunce a la fourclatte in the Egyptian Hall, served up in a style of regal magnificence by Messrs. Staples and Co. Mr. Harker officiated as toast-master. The King of Portugal and the Duke of Oporto were evidently delighted with the whole entertainment, and the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress were most e nthusiastically cheered. The company separated before six o'clock. WHAT CAN BE DONE BY LOCAL BOARDS OF HEALTH. .-a: r. . ~. cir. 15 N., Af3l 29 IV* W. , NAY 7, lat. !Batch Ist.
