THE QUEENS BEFORE THE CONQUEST.--BY MRS.
MATTHEW HALL.—This long-expected work has at length
a,peared, and will doubtless meet with a ready welcome
from the numeroui lovers of that interesting class of
literature, historical biography, particularly as developed
in the lives of eminent and remarkable female sovereigns.
Mrs. Hall not only wields the pen of a graceful and ready
writer, 'out displays a great amount of hi-,torical know-
ledge and antiquarian research. Her object has been to
present a clear and interesting, series of records of our
British Queens preceding the Conquest, whose lives are
so much less familiar to the English reader than others
of a later period who have found able biographers ; and
this object she has accomplished in an attractive manner.
No one, indeed, need fear to be repelled from her work
by any dryness of detail. her biographies of Boadicea
the warlike— of the renowned St. Helena—of Rowena,
Queen of Vortigern—of Bertha, the introducer of Chris-
tianity into Saxon Britain—of the wicked Eifrie p
ida—o f
Ethelgiva, Queen of Edwy the Fair—of Emma the earl
of Normandy, Queen of Ethelred and Canute—of Edit"
the Good, Queen of Edward the Confessor—are full of
romantic interest.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT TO
MURDER AT SALFORD.

Yesterday morning information was received at the
Salford police-office of an extraordinary attempt made
to murder a poor woman living in Evan-street, Spring.
field-lane, in that borough. The statement was, that
at two o'clock in the morning her house had been
entered and her throat cut with some not very sharp
instrument, whilst she was in bed, and that the robbers
had stolen 31. 10s. from her pocket. The police went
to institute the proper inquiries, and found that Mr
Holland, surgeon, and Mr. Storey, druggist, of Green
gate, had attended to the wound, which it is believed
will not prove mortal, the incision having missed the prin-
cipal arteries and the jugular vein. The unfortunate
woman, whose name is, Sarah Freel, was found to be a
large opium eater, and it was thought at first that her
story might be an invention, and that she had probably
made an attempt at self-destruction whilst labouring
under the effects of the mental excitement to which such
persons are subject ; but an inquiry into the circum-
stances has removed these suspicions to a great extent.
She has been in the habit of taking opium freely on ac.
count of nervous suffering to which she was subject at
times, and a druggist who has sold her the drug says
that he has known her consume half an ounce whilst in
his shop, and to purchase an ounce per day.
The woman's story is that she was awoke very early
in the morning by a hand being placed upon her
mouth. She was sleeping upon a bed on the floor,
in the only bed-room the cottage contains, and the
room was totaily destitute of other furniture. Her
three children, two boys and a girl, the oldest of
whom is 14 years old, were sleeping in the house below
—the girl on a box, and the two boys on the floor. On
being awoke, she says, and looking up. she saw a man
disguised in female attire, and a boy holding a lantern.
She asked them what' they wanted there, and the man
replied " money." She pointed to her miserable room,
and asked what money they expected a poor old woman
the man said, " Oh,
that wretched condition could be likely to have, but
ut

with 31. 10s. stitched up in one corner of the pocket.
This was the balance left of the 201. she had obtained
from Mr. Jackson, banker, at Douglas. On examining
her pocket it was found, yesterday morning, that this
money was gone. The threads had apparently been cut
with a knife.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From, the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCEIESTER, Sept. s.—The transactions of the day
have not been large, either in yarns or goods, and the
market has therefore exhibited a somewhat inanimate
aspect. This is mainly attributable to the recent exten-
sive operations, which left less business to be done, and
imparted rather an upward bias to prices ; while the
prospect as to the supply of cotton tends to restrain any
upward movement in that article. In both departments,
however, an entire firmness of price prevails, and some
articles are inclining to be slightly dearer than they
were. This is the case with low counts of water-
twist,
which the Greeks are still buying for weeks
forward, and also with 24s and 28s warps, as well
as with pincops suitable for domestics, and mule
twist for India. No. 20s water-twist has become
quite firm at the rates quoted prior to the appear-
ance of wavering which lately showed itself. The
India merchants find that they are no longer able to lay
their hands upon skirtings and other clothes on such
terms as were submitted to by the makers in the last
and preceding weeks ; there is practically a difference to
their disadvantage of lid. to 3d. per piece, but still the
prices continue to be ruinous to the manufacturers.
Domestics are slowly hardening under a quietly increas-
ing demand from the home houses. Most other cloths
remain as they were last week. As in yarns, so in
goods, the Greeks are still active buyers.
ROCHDALE, Sept. 4.—The demand for flannels con-
tinues brisk, and the manufacturers are asking better
prices for their good's to meet the late rise in the raw
material. The wool market is rather quiet, and the
manufacturers buy sparingly for immediate use only.
HALIFAX, Sept. 2.—Although the fine weather for
harvest operations raises the hopes of the manufacturers,
no actual improvement iu the inquiry for worsted goods
has yet been experienced, and the sales in our Piece-hall
to-day have been very limited. The yarn and wool
markets have undergone no alteration.
HUDDERSFIELD, September s.—There has been a
slight improvement in the number of sales effected in the
cloth market, compared with last week, although the
market may be generally repotted fiat. The fancy
woollen trade in quieter than for some time past ; and
the wool merchants complain that they are doing very
' little. The abundant harvest and the falling price of
corn give hopes of a better trade during. winter.
BRIMINGEAM, Sept. 3.--In the iron trade symptoms
of flatness have again supervened, though from no
failing-off either of the consumption -or demand, the
different hardware manufacturers continuing in a state of
decided activity. Makers of anvils, anchors, chains,
riads, edge-tools, locks, sa idlers' ironmongery, and in-
deed of every description of hardware, are so busy that
orders are placed with great difficulty, while the exports
are in exca,s of last year up to the present month.

RUSSIAN PRIZES.—In consequence of a communica•
tion from the Lords' Cemmissioners of the Admiralty,
the Commissioners of Customs have caused to be trans-
mitted to the colleetors and comptrollers, and other
principal officers at the several ports throughout the
kingdom, for their information, a description of a Rus-
sian schooner-yacht, the Rleutela, winch is stated to
have been sold under very suspicious circumseenete, and
is now called the Coll bri.
PARKHURST PRISON.—The report of the directors of
the convict prisons on the state and condition of this
establishment during the year 1853 has been published.
The report states that all the buildings expressly con.
strutted fur prison purposes are in good repair, but those
which existed before Parkhurst was used as a prison are
not in so satisfactory a state,. though still serviceable.
The daily average• number of prisoners during the year
was 594. The number remaining on the 31st of Dec.,
1853, was 616. The total cost of the prison, exclusive
of buildings, amounted to 15,7821. 12s. lid. After de-
ducting the earnings of the prisoners, 1,8801. 3s. 10d.,
and house rent paid by the officers, 2271. 6s. 10:1., the
net cost of the prison was 13675/. ls. sid. Making
and repairing prisoners' clothing, boots and shoes,
cooking, baking, and washing, have occupied prisoners
within doors; and the out-door labour has comprehended
the trades of carpenters, bricklayers, masons, Pawyers,
painters, &c. Bricks and tiles have been manufactured
in large quantities, and the farm operations on the land,
in the piggery, and in the dairy, have been conducted
as heretofore. The preparation of the flax grown oa
the land has been added to the other industrial occupa-
tions, and so far with great success. _

RUSSIAN' FUGITIVES.—The following is from Memel,
dated the 23d ult. : " At the request of a Jewess re-
cently married, and whose husband wished to desert
her, search was made on board the British schooner

English Maid, where a Jew, but not the one sought
for, was found and arrested. The schooner, then OK
her way out, was allowed to depart. Further search
was then wade on board the English Hull steamer
Black Eagle, and there 18 Jews, with some women and

children, were discovered. These were all fugitives
from Russia, and sqme were subject to military servi-
tude. The runaway husband was likewise uiscovered.
All the Jews, with the exception of one who escaped,
were arrested, and will probably be delivered over
to the Russian authorities. None of them had pass-
ports. Tile Black Eagle, prevented from quitting the
port at the regular time, sailed this day, alter Mr.
tlertslet, the Eaglish vice-consul, had given in a de-
claration that lie would not hold himself responsible for
any consequences that might result from this irregular
proceeding." It will be seen from thi4 that Prussia per-
forms her duties as well as her obligations to Russia with
all possible vigilance. The cruiser left Memel on the
23,1, steering northwards.
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY, ,AT NORWICH.—The first
stone of a free public library will be laid in Norwich oa
the 13th inst. The plans which have been prepared by
Mr. Benest, the city surveyor, provide on the ground
floor a reading•rouni, 44 feet by 33 feet • a museum, 64

MANSION-HOUSE.-After the ordinary business
of the justice-room was transacted by Alderman Mug-
ridge, Sir Robert W. Carden appeared upon the
bebnch, and Captain Lean and several of the poor people
who had paid Newcome and Griffiths, .the emigration
brokers, for their passage on board the Jane Green,
from London to Australia, being present, made the fol-
lowing statement :-I think it necessary to mention that
I went yesterday, accompanied by Captain Lean, the
Government Emigration agent, to inspect the vessel
lying in the docks, and to ascertain in what condition
the ship and the unfortunate persons, who expected
.to
be a considerable way on their voyage to Australia,
were. We were upwards of two hours on board, and I
bad opportunities of observing a great deal during that
time, and certainly a more respectable or patient multi-
tude I have never seen. There are from 190 to 200 in-
dividuals on board the Jane Green, who have the most
unquestionable claims upon the public sympathy. This
amount they have paid upon the faith of the brokers
I find, about 3,3001., all of which money was the
d npro-
duce of their earnings by laborious exertions during
g
nd of all of which
periods varying from 10 to 20 years, a
they have been deprived by relying upoffnetihine
sintegrity
of the
of the brokers, who aggravated the sluwoulag
certainly-
victims by assurances that the vessel
sail within a stated time, ointed rectu-
and by notices to be punc
tually on board according to the TA)
lations. They were faithful in observing the stipula-
tions, but they were doomed to the most heartrending
disappointment, and the men end
theirthe wives
and and chmust
il-
dren were thrown destitute upon w
have been at this moment starving, it they had
not found friends amongst those who are always ready
in this metropolis to mitigate undeserved suffering.
From the time of the issue of the fiat of bankruptcy
against the brokers they had an allowance of half ra-
tions up to Saturdaylast, by order of the commissioners,
whose powers were no doubt limited to a certain amount,
and to a certain period, as to that allowance ; but after
Saturday they had not to the value of a farthing amongst
them, and their condition would have been extreme if
it were not for the humane liberality of a creditor of the
very men who were the cause of their adversity, and
who supplied them with bread, meat, tea, and coffee,
!sufficient to sustain nature. My inquiries have been
most strict and circumstantial ; and I find, from testi-
monials on which I have the most perfect reliance, that
the public sympathy cannot be more humanely directed
than to the object of enabling them to proceed to the
place where they expect a reward for their industry.
It is unnecessary to describe the despondency with which
I saw them overwhelmed upon going on board, and it
would be impossible to describe the comfort to which
they were restored upon being assured that their appeal
would not, in London, be unattended to. I appear here
upon this occasion as the advocate of these poor fami-
lies, because it fell to my lot, in the course of my ma-
gisterial duties, to become acquainted with several gross
emigration frauds, the perpetrators of some of which
nave met with condign punishment, which ought to
have more extensively operated in cautioning others,
and I am necessarily cognisant of the practices re-
sorted to. I trust the exposure of the awful case to
which I take the liberty to call the public attention will
be beneficial. lam informed that the Emigration Com-
missioners, so worthily represented by Captain Lean,
are authorised to send off a certain number of these poor
people upon the emigration fund ; but that number is,
by virtue of the regulations, very small in comparison
with the crowd for whom it will be necessary to provide.
I am rejoiced to state that the subscriptions already re-
ceived amount to upwards of 1001., the press having lent
its powerful aid to the cause of the injured families, and
have only to add, that the greatest care and economy
shall be exercised in disbursing the liberality of the cha-
ritable upon this most interesting occasion.
Captain Lean said-It is almost unnecessary for me
to make any observations upon the able and forcible
statement made by Sir Robert W. Carden of the condi-
tion of the passengers on board the Jane Green, and the
appeal which has been made to the public sympathy and
benevolence, which has already been so promptly and
liberally responded to by the subscriptions announced.
It is, however, requisite to be borne in mind, that al-
though I have great satisfaction in saying that the Colo-
nial Land and Emigration Commissioners have strained
their authority to the utmost limit in regarding as eli-
gible for passage in Government emigrant ships a number
of about' 20 adults, and are likely to do so to provide for
double that number more who may be able to substan-
tiate the required qualification, still those will have to be
provided with certain deposits for board and their own ex-
penses, on joining the ships. With respect to the large
number that still remain, they are absolutely penniless ;
they have no resources but a reliance on the public sympa-
thy for their peculiar and unprecedented distress, which-
it is hoped will he marked, as it has commenced, by
liberal contributions. I think it is right to state that
since the support given by the Bankruptcy Court for the
maintenance of the emigrants ceased, on Saturday last,
they have been indebted to a private individual, one of
the creditors to the estate, for a daily issue of several
articles of provisions" The gentleman to whom Sir R.
W. Carden alluded as having acted in so creditable a
manner is Mr. Langley. It is highly creditable to the
captain, also, that in administering the funds placed in
his hands for the assistance of the emigrants the greatest
economy has been observed, and also that the ship has
been kept in so cleanly a condition and in such good
order that sickness has not visited the passengers, but
all on board have continued in good health. No language
of mine can do justice to the warm interest and cordial
feeling with which all questions relating to the grievances
of emigrants meet with remedy or alleviation from the
magistracy of the city.
Alderman Muggeridge said the emigrants were deeply
indebted to Sir Robert Carden and Alderman Carter for
their exertions. lie would have the happiness of joining
them in the effort to carry out so humane and praise•
worthy an object, and he trusted that through their
united efforts to impress upon the public the strength of '
the claims of the unfortunate applicants the appeal of
that day would be eminently successful.
The following is.a list of the subscriptions already re-

GUILDHALL. The following book and music
publishers were yesterday summoned before Alderman
Farebrother, at the instance of Mr. Antonio Panizzi,
the keeper of the printed books and manuscripts in the
British Museum, for not delivering copies of certain
works within one month after publication.
Mr. Harding, of the firm of Messrs. Bray, Warren,
and Harding, solicitors to the British Museum,
ap-
peared in support of the information.
Mr. Thomas Dean, of Threadneedle-street, was sum-
moned for not supplying "Gentility and Economy Com.
bined," price 2s. 6d. ; Messrs. Darton and Co., of Hol-
born-hill, were similar defaulters with regard to " Peter
Parley's Annual for 1854," price Sc. ; Mr. George Fred.
Crutchiey, of Fleet-street, for not delivering " Crutch-
ley's Seat of War, the Baltic," &c., price ls. 6d. ; Mr.
Harry May, of Holborn-bars, for similar neglect respect-
ing a piece of music called " Upon the Baltic Sea," price
is. 63. ; Mr. Richard Holmes Laurie, of Fleet-street,
for omitting to send a copy of " Laurie's Plan of Lon-
don, Westminster, and Southwark, as trigonometrically
surveyed, by John Outtrett, 1854," price 12s. ; Mr.
George Henry Davidson, of Peter's-hill, Doctor's-com-
mons, for not supplying "No. 707 of the Musical Trea-
sury," price 2d. The whole of these gentlemen settled
the matter without coming into court.
Mr. Henry Folkien, of King Wiliam-street, appeared
to answer the information charging him with neglecting
to furnish the British Museum with a copy of a piece of
music, called the j" Guardsman's Farewell, ' published at
2s. 6d.
Mr. Folkien said he thought the Museum authorities
were rather sharp upon him, because the piece of music
in question had only been published a few weeks, and it
was entirely an accidental omission that the required
copy was not sent before.
Mr. Harding said be hoped it would not go forth that
the authorities of the British Museum were sharp upon
any one, as they never took such proceedings except in
cases
of palpable neglect. In the present instance the
defendant had not delivered any work for years.
Mr. Folkien said he was not aware that he was re-
quired to do 80, as his catalogue was made up of non-
copyright works, consisting of foreign productions re-
printed in this co
being published country,
The
same compositions were every
other publisher in London,
and, therefore, the byMuseum would have about 100 copies
of one thing.
Alderman Farebrothe said if the defendant had im-
ported foreign publication
to supply copies to the A he would not be compelled
Museum but but if he reprinted
them in this country he brought
of Parliament, and its himself under the act
consequences in case of non-
corn plian ce.
Mr. Folkien said as soon as he received information
that the required copy had not been delivered, he sent
one to the Museum, but it was refused.
Mr. Harding said it was refused because the
had been issued. summon,
Alderman Farebrotber said if it had been an expensive
work there might have been some object in not euppiy.

penalty, but as it

Mr. Folkien said he hoped tine aldermanno

the copies of works in future.
Alderman Farebrother said if the work in questioa
was a good piece of musio it would soon pay the penalty,
"
~sr the defendant could raise the price of it.
Mr, Folkien asked if he was obliged to send a copy
now, after paying the value of it
Alderman Farebrother said certainly, as that was part
of the penalty.
The defendant then paid 10s, fine, 2.3. ed. value, and
4s. costs.

M A ItYLEBONE.—Up,
on the arrival of the Govern-
ment,_ van from the House of Detention, Clerken a
considerable crowd of persons assembled, in order that
