ONE SHILLING. • Just published, the Cupplement to the " Post Office London Directory for 1849," which, in addition to the mere supplemental matter, contains the " Postal " and " Parliamentary Directories exactly as in the complete work. As the Supplement extends to upwards of an hundred closely-priated Imperial Octavo pages, it is sold at nearly the same proportionate price as the " Post Office London Directory" itself, which, as stated in an able Review of the book for the current year, published in the " Times" on the 30th of November last, " is necessarily a bulky volume ' • but its bulk, contrary to the general rule, is an advantage, and it may be said to contain no superfluous pages whatever." The " Post Office Lon don Directory " is, beyond all comparison, the cheapest work which is , ues from the p - ass, taking mere size into consideration, and without reference to the various classifications, and other matters too numerous to be detailed here. This Directory was characterized by the " Examiner," of the lath. of December last, a " perfect marvel of arrangement, accuracy, and fulness of information. " And the " Morning Herald" of the 30th of the previous month, likewise re viewing the " Post Office London Direoiory for 1249," described it as " an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great Britain, laughing rivalry to scorn." The " Supplement" now published at -the price of one shilling, contains the " Postal Directory," furnish ing all the regu'ations of the Post Office as affecting the receipt and dispatch of letters to the five thousand principal places throughout the world, copious Money Order information, &c., &c., &c., and the " Parliamentary Directory," likewise contained in this "Supple meat," furuiahos the usual Information with roforenao to Peo , o and 31ellaben of the House of Commons.

THE QUEEN'S THEATRE, DUBLIN.—The deserved popularity which this elegant little theatre enjoys, affords a most satisfactory proof of the appreciation with which the enterprise and energy of Mr. Harris is re garded. He has succeeded in catching the public taste, and catering for it well. In the performances selected for representation there is that liveliness, variety, and attraction, which is just' the antidote to ennui, arid' the most agreeable evening's relaxation which we know of'. In the operatic entertainments the manager has evidently borne in mind the now settled axiori that " Progress is the order of the day." Accordingly there have been produced a series of well-selected pieces, the principal characters of which are admirably sustained, and which have been put on the stage with a good eye to dramatic effect, and with excellent musical and scenic accessories. The engagement of Miss. Re becca Isaacs has proved highly successful. With a most agreeable and well-cultivated voice, she combines no ordinary degree of ability as an actress. Her songs are nightly encored, and her admirable execution of those gems of our national poets, "The Minstrel Boy" and "Kate Kearney," is sure to evoke repetition by the most enthusiastic applause. Of what is generally spoken of as the stock company, we must speak in terms of high praise. It is one of the " features" of this theatre that every actor is, to use the stage phrase, " well up" in his part.—Freeman's Jour na l. • TilE NEW SOCIETY OP PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS.—His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, at tended by his equerry, Colonel Seymour, honoured the New Society of Painters in Water Colours with a visit yesterday afternoon, previous to the exhibition being opened to patrons and the pres., this day, and to the public on Monday.

EXECUTION OF SARAH HARRIET kintieway l3 rs n ir : te a tairot Thomasc t b b P k a , this 2 un de rw entoer u . T . p — o ri H r T ai h n : l e tgeh. A re w , .Ser extreme t ot c r. hse scaffold o criminal ld sentence of Sarah t erected h e Over the great gates , of the gaol. The scene throughout was a most painful one.. Last night four female turn and between 12 and 1 o'clock Ais morning she partook of a mutton chop. She afterWaVds lay - down for about an hour only, but the turnkeys are . of opinion that she did not sleep. For breakfast she only had some tea, and refuied to take any thing to eat. The chaplain arrived at, 7 o'clock, and she seemed more attentive than before to her religious duties. Half an hour previous to the execution the governor Of the gaol, Mr. Gardiner, announced to her the pain-. ful duty which he had to perform, and said he hoped she would ac com p any hi m to the place of execution. quietly. She stamped with her fOot several times, and said she would not go. She seemed almost frantic, and at 'the time appoi n t e d 14. Gardiner was compelled to 'procure the assistance of six or seven men, who led her into the press-yard. She resisted all the time. In the press-room, at the suggestion of Di. Sweet, the chap-' lain, she asked the governor to give her lov e t o h er father. After havin g b een pinioned she walked without assistance as far as the drop, bUt afterwards she was obliged to be led up the ladder by two of the turnkeys. She struggled 'violently and shrieked in a dreadful Man- , ter. When Caleraft, thnexecutioner, put the 'rope round her heck . she exclaimed, " The Lord have mercy upon hope my mother.and none of my fainily are pre.. sent!' Immediately, afterwards thefiolt was withdrawn and she was launched 110 eternity. The following is h er c on f ess i on o f the clicanistances ,thanitirder, sighed by her own hand:— . TWo days before the . murder was committed Miss Jefferies called me up to her bedroom and attempted to' strike' me: • She also locked mein the kitchen during the .whOle of the night: At . five O'clock in the morning she unbolted the door and told me to make a fire in her room.- I thought 'then to have Struck her, but did not 'do so. On the following night rslept in her rOom,. but did not coutehiplate murdering - ;tier till between five and six o'clock iii the morning, when I got up, went down ,Stairs, and returned wit a stone, with which, whilst Miss Jefferies was ealeep,. I struck her on the head three times. Between the second and third blow she' made .some sort Of a noise, and the last words I hoard her say 'were !cheat God!' I then dressed myself, robbed the house, flung the dog dciwn the privy, locked up the house, and went home... I committed the murder and robbed the house with my own bands, and no one else had anything whatever to do with it ; neither did Mention having done so to any person. I regret exceedingly having committed so horrid a ,crime, • and .1 pray to the Almighty God for forgive ness. I never should have committed so dreadful a crime had Miss Jefferies' conduct been less provoking. • After Miss Jefferies had died I remained in the room I for more than an hour. I then went home, and did not I return till about nine o'clock in the evening, when I went for two boxes, but did not go into mistress's room. On leaving. the house I saw a strange man standing hri o f w o p e r po n w t s h h i t i o e c m , h e w l . g o a c v e a r e i md my b n in epoexnecs as a f a r a e . I t hen s the i n took a fl i r t fly ary, and Hud it not been for the arrangements made by the authorities it is probable that fearful accidents would have happened amongst the crowd of spectators. Strong barriers were placed in front of the gaol, and at each side, so as to prevent the people from being driven towards the river. The services of a strong body of police were also called into requisition. The conduct of the crowd was similar to what generally takes place at public; executions; some of the parties present were smoking, whilst others were laughing and jeering, until the clock struck the fatal hour, a so lemn silence then prevailed, and every eye was anxiously directed towards the spot whence the unfortunate crea-. lure was to emerge; so strenuous had been the exertions made by the inhabitants of the city to get the life of the convict spared that many persons imagined that a re prieve would be received. One petition was signed by 3,500 women of Bristol, and sent to Sir G. Grey with 4he accompanying letteri— " Bristol, April 15. " Hon. Sir,—We pray you to look favourahly, upon, and to present to her. Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, the memorial of the wome n o f B r i s t o l this day forwarded to you. The• near •approach of an event so fearful in itself, and so dire in its influence, has spread a gloom over the minds of all the inhabitants of our city; particularly over the minds of women-3,500 of, whose signatures are affixed to the memorial, including, many of .the most influential and enlightened ladies in the neighbourhood. We earnestly hope that her Majesty will graciously receive the petition of her loving sub jeots, and extend her Royal mercy to Sarah Harriet Thomas. We shall anticipate, Hon. Sir, with great anxiety your reply, and in the sincere hope that it will be a favourable one, "I am, Right Hon. Sir, "(On behalf of the Committee,) "Emil S. MATTHEWS. To the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart." The following reply was on Wednesday morning re ceived:— " Whitehall, April 17. • • " Madam,—Sir George Grey having carefully con sidered the memorial .which you transmitted from the .' , Women of Bristoli' in behalf of Sarah Harriet Thomas, convictin the gaol at Bristol, under sentence of death for murder, I am directed to express to you his regret that after a correspondence with the Learned Judge who tried the case, the result of a very anxious inquiry end deliberations, that Sir George Grey has come to the con elusion that he cannot, without a violation of his duty, interfere with the due course of law. " I am, Madam, your obedient servant, " H. WADDINGTON. " Miss Emma S. Matthews." A reply couched in similar language has been re ceived by the Earl Fitzhardinge, to whom was entrusted a petition from the Society of Friends, praying for a commutation of the convict's sentence. Similar replies have also been received in answer to several other peti tions got up by the various dissenting and other religious congregations in Bristol. called his attention to the cheque and the pocket-tiobk, observing, - Mv object is to find the cheque, in ord,r that it may be restored to your family, there being no doubt that it is their property.' The prisoner said, He knew nothing about it; he clid'Uot reccillect having seen it; he was quite sure he could give no information abotit' it.' Mr. Pinson said, Well, we must look over your papers in the morning, and see if it can be found, be= cause I want it for your family. I assure you, Mr. - Scott, of Aylsham (solicitor to the family), is the person applying.' No information could be obtained from Rush that night. On the following nvrn ing Mr. Pinson again inquired, of him 'about the cheque, fearing that it might hive been lost in cOurt. He still said that he knew nothing-about it, but from the manner of his answer the governor suspected that he did know something about' it; but sifter several days I had passed over and no information - was, elicited, he supposed that the prisoner had destroyed it. On Thursday, - the 12th inst., Mr.' Durrant, the solititor, visited Hush in - regard to some family business, and Mr:- Pinson--was present in the room with him.. After some conveipation about the cheque, the prisoner' turned round to Mr. Pin son and said, '1 cannot deceive you aey longer; ibut I must tell you what my suspicions were, I suspected when you were making inquiries abotit the cheque, you said one word for my family, and two for Mr. John Cann; as I thought if you could find the' cheque you would giys . it to him.' • Mr:Pinson expressed his surprise, saing, `l.don't kn ow - w h y 'you suspected - me of that; as 1 told you then that my object was, if I could find the cheque, to, restore it to your family. It is "very true I have seen Mr. Cann since y our Co n viction, - and he assured me he was only anxious it shoold be found Weider to be tgiveii into proper hands, as it belonged to year faMily, and to nobodyelae.' The prisoner then' said, I Will you 'suffer me to give it to Mr. thitratitp I will tell 'you the . truth . , and produce it.' Mt. PitssOn assented, and the prisoner then took up his hat, and ho dte* out the 'cheque! from underneath the inside lining'of the 'side of the hat. He had contrived to abatraet it front the pocket- book,'when at hist request it was handed to him for examination on, the first day of the ttiaL and tAPsonceal it in his hat un observed! - On being informed thailhe universal opinion thrbugh out the country - was that he was' guilty, he appeared angry. He wrote a letter, asserting his innoCence, which ho wished to be signed by his daughter, and sent to the editor of the Times ; but Mr. Pinson declined for warding it. In two years, he asserts, the real muiderer will be known. He is watched by ten turnkeys, who relieve each i other every two hours, and every precaution is taken td pre , ; , vent anything taking place to rob justice of its victim. HULL. We have been somewhat curious to read the account of the doings of the Hull Corporation on the visit °flits Royal Highness Prince Albert to the neighbourhood of that important borough, and- the more so as we , have understood that the remarks published by us some days ago had, i❑ some measure, given an impetus to the otherwise lethargic temperament of those intelligent rulers over the destinies of Kingston-upon-Hull. The press of the town, much to their credit, con demned the apathy of the " Hull Corporation with re gard to the opportunity afforded them of manifesting their loyalty." Somewhat late in the day those gentle men, or rather a portion, have tried to atone for the past. A requisition was presented to the Mayor, signed by twenty-four members of the corporation. The Mayor then called the councill together, which met in the room of the property committee last Monday, when the follow ing members of the council were present:—The Mayor, Messrs. Bannister, Hendry, Huntley, Holmes, Cobb, Spratt, Jacobs, Thompson, Melam, Savage, Homer, Mitchell, Newton, Goodwill, Abbey, Richardson, Jack son, Bean, Larard, Boulter, Atkinson, Smithson, Foster, Fountain, Tall, Armstrong, Forrester, Jitbb, Casson, Wilkinson, and Priest. During the meeting, as we gather from the reports, it was said that a strong feeling pervaded the town that the corporation had not manifested the zeal which might have been expected from it in displaying the loyalty of the people of Hull. In relation to the objections *filch wo have heard repeatedly urged against any expression of loyalty by the town of Hull, that Prince Albert's ♦isit was to another county, and for the purpose of laying the foundation of a rival port, Mr. Alderman Bean very properly observed "Is not the Queen of England as much Queen of Lincolnshire as Yorkshire, and surely the Prince could entertain no feeling of rivalry between Grimsby and Hull." A loyal address was moved by Dr. Horner, and seconded by Mr. Jackson, who was exceed ingly sorry the eouncil bad not begun to move in the affair sooner. Dr. Ayre thought it a pity that any re flection should be cast upon the corporation for seeming backward in attesting its loyalty. Mr. Jackson said that there was no doubt there had been both indifference and neglect. Dr. Ayr° apprehended they were suffi ciently early, and hoped the reporters would be requested not to report a contrary feeling .to this measure. Mr. Alderman Jones thought they were certainly late, but they were better late than never. The Mayor said there was so little time that he suggested the employment of the telegraph. Mr. Richardson stated that there was a general complaint out of doors against the corporation, and fur his part he really did think the Mayor should have moved in the matter before. Mr. John Foster, Belgian consul, gave his peculiar differings in opposition to the rest of the gentlemen. Mr. Alder man Bean, however, reminded him of a statement he (Mr. F.) had made, " he would cross the Humber if the Duke of Wellington was coming," which was ♦ery strange, as Mr. Foster is a member of the Peace Society. On the motion being put, there was only ono dissentient —was it not Mr. Poster, to whom Dr. Horner applied the line of Swift— "Some for renown are singular and odd." • On Tuesday the Mayor , announced a telegraph communication from his Royal Highness Prince Albert, to the effect that his Royal Highness would receive the address at Brockelsby in the morning. , 'lle address was then read over and agreed to, and measures adopted for conveying the mayor, twenty-one of the corporation, the town-clerk, and the two beadles. Omnibuses,l4awn each by six horses, were in'readiness at the New Holland ferry on Wednesday morning, and arrived with the' re quisite portion of the Hull corporate body at Brocklesby at ten o'clock, when, after waiting an hour and a hag, the deputation had permission to present the address, and we learn was well recei►pd. How the expenses of the deputation will be defrayed we know not, but the ways and means appear to have been a very formid able consideration at the meeting of the corporation on Tuesday, and it is reported by the . Hull Packet, on the town clerk informing the meeting that each indivi dual would have to pay his own expenses, as it could not be paid out of the corporation funds, " several of the members present, who had previously intimated their in tention of going, renounced it by walking off, disap pointed, no doubt, at not being able to have a few days' pleasure at the expense of other people." Although this matter has been conducted with light ning speed, secrecy, and much unwillingness on the part of many of the Hull Corporation, we are glad that some thing has been done to show that some feeling of loyalty still exists in the bo rough of Kingston-upon-Hull. If due diligence had been exerted by the authorities, the Prince would, in all probability, have visited Hull, the docks, and shipping, all of which are, doubtless, worth viewing. It has always appeared to us, that the most proper course to have been adopted, would have been for the Mayor to have called together, and publicly consulted, the members of the council, and for them, if they thought fit, to have lat.d a public meeting of the inhabi tants to take the visit of the Prince into consideration. As the affair has been conducted, it smacks much of the old close corporate system. BZRXS.

So far from this, the promoters of the race worked with redoubt4energy, and with such unlocked-for success, that notably was the 500 Z forthcoming at the proper time, but a:ethisider able balance was loft over for next year's liandicaP. Con sidering the difficulties they had taeontend. against, this result is highly creditable t 0. 40 i ed Vic tailors 'of the' 3l et ropolis, . r s •the disappoint ment : y e sterda most ng ard we have no doubt it will , stissiulate them toove pe , r. petuate a race which they may fairly call their own. That the contribution of so rich a purse, exceeding by 2001. the highest amount given to any others tiske, was appreciated, was pt ove d by thi C acceptance, which was large in proportion to the nottiinations, .audiycluded most' of the crack horses of alb day, amongst them Surplice, winner of both Derby and Lege r; C ossac k , a Derby winner; Canezon, Flatoateher, and many others of high repute. Speculation has been carried , on to a groatdrextent than on any previous handicap at Epsom, _eotnezeu, Flatcatcher, Fernhill, and several others being backed to win great stakes. So far, then,, as . money, capital entries, and heavy betting, seconileif by liberal and experienced management, were calculated to.inenee suc cess, nothing was wanting; at Epsom, however i . as at Bath, the elements were Most Unpropitious; the snow fell heavily on Tuesday, Wednesday, and "T4nrsday, and on the last-mentioned day it lay-so deep- bn the course, that it became very doubtful if the race could be run without imminent peril -to the horses -art& their riders. This was represented to Sir Gilbert Heethcote, at whose request Mr. Dorling proceeded4o toisti to con sult the other stewards as to the' propriety ofAstistpon ing them until Saturday. It was determined, however, to take the chance of a change in the -weather,rd not to give any decision on the subject until the next day. The day broke favourably; indeed, so fine was it, that long odds were betted in town that the meeting , would come off, and thousands.proceeded by ra il or b y roa d only ,to discover, on their reaching the Down's, that racing was out of the question. So obvious was this, that Sir Gilbert Heathcote and Sir Joseph.Alswley, the only stewards present, after a short ci . .itieultation, decided on a postponement until Saturday., Ohio day), to commence at half-past one o'cloat. An 01E4d no tice to this effect was posted shortly after one ct'cicck, and the crowd collected in or about the stand reluc tantly wended their way back. Mr. Dorling, we understand, has employed 200 or 300 men to sweep the snow off the course ; there is every prospect, therefore, of the meeting taking pleat to-day. Should another fall of snow prevent it, the stakes and the bets on them will be void, the laws of racing limiting the power of stewards to postponement from day to day in the same week. With regard to the great race, the only transactions were at 5 to 1 against Flatcatcher, 12 to 1 against Cla rissa, and 100 to 6 against Mogador. Speculation ran chiefly on the question, "to run or not to run." Having in our paper of Thursday given the engage ments and order of running, it is only requisite now to give the names of the probable starters for the Metropo litan Handicap and their jockeys, as they appear in Mr. Dorling's card:— METROLITAN MANDICA P.

NORWICH, FRIDAY EVENING.—The guilty man who is to meet his fate to-morrow continues to eat and sleep well, and to enjoy - life -- to the last. The accounts that have appeared from time to time aS to his depression of spirits are entirely without foundation. He exhibits no sign of repentance, nor any desire to purge his breast of the tremendous crime which must be preying on it. Those who have the best opportunities of judging are strongly of opinion that he will die without confession. He perseveres in the most solemn declarations of his in• nocence, and upbraids Emily Sandford most bitterly, as serting that she forswore herself at the trial, and that had it not been for her evidence he should have been acquitted. Yesterday ho asked the turnkeys if they had begun to fix the machine,- but no answer was made. He then expressed a hope that it might' be a fine day. The Rev. Mr. Brown, chaplain to the gaol, the Rev. Mr. Andrews, and the Rev. Mr. Blake, of Fel raingham, have all been most assiduous in their efforts to bring the unhappy criminal to a due sense of the awful position is which he stands. But these efforts have been attended with very little apparent success, and, to use the strong.but no doubt accurate language of a gentle man to whom I applied for information on the subject, Hush has exhibited sincerity iu nothing except in the practice of deception. The expression appears to be a contradiction, but it is difficult to analyse the workings of a murderer's mind, and the same idiosyncrasy of cha• meter which led Rush to purloin so dexterously the 401. cheque from the note-book in a crowded court, with all eyes upon him, may account for his realising the old aphorism, that a man who begins by deceiving others often ends by deceiving himself. Last night, as pre viously, he slept very soundly. The account which has appeared as to his interview with his children is very incorrect,- as will be seen by the following extract from the Nor folk Chronicle:— . . " On Monday last Rush had an interview with his children at the Castle, the younger ones coming to take their last sad leave of him. Mr. Soames, their uncle, did not accompany the family, .as had been stated; nor did the Governor of the Castle introduce them into the cell; nor did the prisoner offer up any prayers, either during or after the visit. Other particulars given are sheer invention. The family came from Potash and Felminghanrom Monday morning; and the two parties meet at the Bell Inn, Orford-hill, whence they proceeded to the Castle. The interview did not take place in the cell, but in a room appropriated for the use of those vi sitors who may wish, and are permitted, to see any crimi- . nal; in Rush's case this permission has not been given ex cept to his nearest relational, and the members of his own fa mily. When the latter arrived on Monday, he was informed of their being in the Castle; ho buried his face in his hands as if he was much affected. Being taken into the visitors' room, and placed in such a position that the Governor could hear and see everything that passed, his children were immediately ushered into the apart . ment, and, as may be supposed, a natural outburst of feeling ensued; but on . this occasion, though the wretched man protested that he wa s i nnocen t, h e was not guilty -of the religious hypocrisy described. He did not offer up any prayers, nor recommend his children to the protecting care of' the Almighty, as stated. After an interview of half an hour parent and children parted, some of them not to meet again in this world. When the family left the Castle a crowd of people collected outside the gates to witness their departure. They re paired to the Bell, where Miss Rush remained; the other daughters, after partaking of refreshment, h re turning to Foliningham, where they are residing w ith their governess in a house which Rush built there a bout four years ago. Mr. James Rush and his younge rCo brother returned to Potash; but the former ret u rned Norwich on Tuesday, and, accompanied by Miss Rush, had another. interview with his father the same evening. This interview was repeated on Wednesday.' We also annex the true particulars as to the lost cheque, which have been misrepresented: — I n the pocket-book of the prisoner, exhibited imf t there was a clieque for 401. On the night a f ter eurthecOnviction inforiiiition was given to Mr. Pinson, th e , g overnor of the Castle , that this cheque was missin g ; and he questioned, the prisoner, in order to ascertain, on the part of the family, whether he hadpapgeorts,ita.ndMhro. finisein' was about-to - take . away- all hls COURT CIRCULAR.

Auber's Fra Diavolo was produced here- laai night, with a completeness highly creditable for the establish ment, considering the modesty of its pretensions. Full effect was given to all the charming musio•of the opera, so strewed with gay and beautiful airs#-und tinctured with picturesque and national colouring. A:nilw tenor (described as first tenor of the Grand Opera, Paris), a M. Octave, made his first appearance here in the cha racter of the Brigand Chief. He has a tenor, voice, not naturally of good quality, somewhat harsh ,when strained, but pleasing enough in level singing. It has, however, been well trained, and his style of singing is good. He sang the music of the part efficiently and pleasingly, and in the " Agnes, la jouvencelle," was• encored. As an actor M. Octave wants the ease and animation socharacteristis of the French stage, but he has a good figure; and im pressive countenance. Mdlle. Charton imparted • charming sprightliness to the character of Zerlina. At each new hearing this artist develops some new grace as a vocalist, and as an actress she avoids that affectation of mannerism which some of her countrywomen believe to be necessary attractions for an English audience. Her singing of the " Diavolo, Diavolo," in the first act, was an evidence of admirable taste; and in the 4, •Qttel bon heurl je respire," all the richness and soft mellowness of ,her voice came out delightfully. -She was also very happy in the air " Oui, c'est demain," with the accompanying action. The other characters were well sustained by Chateaufort (who gave a good French caricature of the English nobleman in Lord Kokbourg, the Lord Allcaah of the English version), Mdlle. Guichard i and M. Buguet. The orchestra, under Mr. Haussens,' rendered the spirit of the music admirably.
