THE QUEENS BEFORE THE CONQUEST.
By Mrs. MAT 'limy HALL.
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,

ORIENTAL AND TURKISH MUSEUM,
HYDE-PARK Coarsza.-
r PHE Public are respectfully informed that, early
JL in July next, there will be Opened. at ST. 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.

THE LOSS OF THE EUROPA

The following official copies of the depositions, taken
at Gibraltar, by the survivors from the Europa, have
been sent to us for publication
City, Garrison, and Territory of Gibraltar.
Lieutenant and Adjutant Archibald Weir saith, —That ha is
a lieutenant adjutant of the 6th Dragoons. About 10 p.m. on
the night of the 3i st May the steward of the Europa came to
the cabin which I occupied, and informed me that the ship
was on fire. 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.

LORD ELGIN'S MISSION TO AMERICA.
lI.IPO lITANT TREATY.
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, coming from the
United States, which 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 producing country, • the
operation rf that 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 municipality
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 advices 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.
