ONE SHILLING. Just published, the supplement 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-printed Imperial Octayo 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 'ess, 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 16th of December last, as 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 Directory for 1949," 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 live thousand principal places throughout the world, copious Money Order information, &c., &c., Sm, and the " Parliamentary Directory," likewise contained in this " Supple ment," furnishes the usual information with reference to Peers and Members 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, and the most agreeable evening's relaxation which we know of. In the operatic entertainments the manager has evidently borne in mind the now settled axiom 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 must 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, n t , ..) , u j s o e n t r h n e al s . tage phrase, " well up" in his PAINTERS IN WATER Royal Highness the Prince Albert, at- COLOURS. — His eq uerry , Colonel Seymour, honoured the SOCIETY OF Painters in Water Colours with a visit New Society of yrisTeheEnivirsia His Royal Highness was received public on Monday.

So far from hi the promoters of the rac e wor k ed with redoubledene t 121, 1 .1"2 and with such unlooked-f or success, that not onlyr w gy, a the 500/. forthcomieg at th e p roper time, but a consider able balance was left over for next year's handicap Con sidering the difficulties they had t o contend against, this resolt is highly creditable to the " Licensed Vic tellers of the Metropolis," and, mortifying as ' the disappointment :yesterday must have proved, we have no doubt it will stimulate them to per petuate a race which they may fairly call - their 'own. That the contribution of so rich a purse, exceedi ng b y 2001. the highest amount given to any other !take, w as appreciated, was proved by the acceptance, whioll was large in proportion to the nominations, and' included most of the crack horses of the day, amongst them Surplice, winner of both Derby and Leger; Cossack, a Derby winner; Cancan, Flatcatcher, and many others of high repute. Speculation has been carried on to a greater extent than on any previous handicap at Epsom, Cane-sou, Flatcatcher, Ferubill, and several others being backed to win great stakes. So far, then, as money, capital entries, and heavy betting, seconded by liberal and experienced management, were calculated to insure suc cess, nothing was wanting; at Epsom, however, as at Bath, the elements were most unpropitious; the snow fell heavily on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and on the last-mentioned day it lay so deep on the course, that it became very doubtful if the race could be run without imminent peril to the horses and their riders. This was represented to Sir Gilbert Heathcote, . at whose request Mr. Dorling proceeded to town to con sult the other stewards as to the propriety of postpon ing them until Saturday. It was determined, however, to take the chance of a change in the weather, and 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 rail or by road only :to discover, on their reaching the Downs, that racing was out of the question. So obvious was this, that only Gilbert Heathcote and Sir Joseph Hawley, the stewards present, after a short consultation, decided on a postponement until Saturday (this day), to commence at half-past one o'clock. An official no tice to this effect was posted shortly after one o'clock, 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 place 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 tho great race, the only transactions were at 5 to 1 against Flatcatcher , 12 to I against Cla rissa. and 100 to 6 against Mogador. Speculation ran chiefly on the question, "to run or not to run." Ilaving iu 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, u they appear in Mr. Dorling's card:— [PRICE SD• METROLITAN HANDICAP.

BRISTOL, APRIL 20.—The wretched criminal Sarah Harriet Thomas underwent the extreme sentence of the law at 10 o'clock this morning. The scaffold was erected over the great gates of the gaol. The scene throughout was a most painful one. Last night four female turn• keys sat up with the prisoner, and between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning she partook of a mutton chop. She afterwards 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 refused 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 accompany him 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 appointed Mr. Gardiner was somp( . .lll . 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 Dr. Sweet, the chap lain, she asked the governor to give her love to her father. After having been 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 ner. When Calcraft, the executioner, put the rope round ber neck she exclaimed, " The Lord have mercy upon me! I hope my mother and none of my family are pre-. sent." Immediately afterwards the_bolt was withdrawn and she was launched into eternity. The following is her confession of the circumstances of the murder, signed 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 me in 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 I slept in her room, but did not contemplate murdering her till between five and six o'clock in ,the morning, when I got up, went down stairs, and returned with a stone, with which, whilst Miss Jefferies was asleep, 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 heard her say were Christ God!' I then dressed myself, robbed the house, flung the dog down the privy, locked up the house, and went home. I committed the murder and robbed the house with my own hands, and no one else had anything whatever to do with it ; neither did I mention having done so to any person. I regret exceedingly having committed so horrid a crime, and I 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 for more than an hour. I then went home, and did not 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 opposite, who carried my boxes as far as the infirmary, for which I gave him ninepence. I than took a fly and went home." Had 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 strack the fatal hour, a so lemn silence then prevailed, and every eye was anxiously directed towards the spot whence the unfortunate crea ture was to emerge; so strenuous bad been the exertions made by the inhabitants of the city to get the life of the convict spared that many persons imagined that a ro• prieve would be received. One petition was signed by 3,500 women of Bristol, and sent to Sir G. Grey with the accompanying letter:— " Bristol, April 15. " Hon. Sir,—We pray you to look favourably upon, and to present to her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, the memorial of the women of Bristol 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 wotnen-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 jests, 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, " (Ou behalf of the Committee,) " EMMA S. MATTREWS. " To the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bat t." 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 Bristol,' in behalf of Sarah Harriet Dar - mils, a convict in the gaol at Bristol, under sentence of death for murder, I am directed to express to you his regret that alter 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 clusion 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-book, observing, My object is to find the cle que, in order 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 did not recollect having seen it; he was quite sure he could give no information about 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 pet's in applying.' No information could be obtained from Rush that night. On the following morn • ing Mr. Pinson again inquired of him about the cheque, fe aring that it might have 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 after several days had passed over and no information was elicited, he supposed that the prisoner had destroyed it. On Thursduy, the 12th inst., Mr. Durrant, the solicitor, visited Rush in regard to some family b us i ness , an d M r . Pinson was present in the room with him. After some conversation about the cheque, the prisoner turned round to Mr. Pin son and said, ' I cannot deceive you any longer; but I must tell you what my suspicions were. I suspected when you were making in qu i r i es a b out t h e c h eque, you said one word for my family, and two for Mr. John Cann; as I thought if you could find the cheque you would give it to him.' Mr. Pinson expressed his surprise, saying, 'I don't know why you suspected me of that; as I 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 your conviction, and he assured me he was only anxious it should be found in order to be given into proper hands, as it belonged to your family, and to nobody else.' The prisoner then said, ' Will you suffer me to give it to Mr. Durrant? I will tell you the truth and produce it.' Mr. Pinson assented, and the prisoner then took up his hat, and he drew out the cheque from underneath the inside lining of the side of the hat. lie had contrived to abstract it from the pocket book, when at his request it was handed to him for examination on the first day of the trial, and to conceal it in his hat un observed." On being informed that the universal opinion through out the country was that he was guilty, he appeared angry. He wrote a letter, asserting his innocence, which he 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 murderer will be known. _ _ Ho is watched by ten turnkeys, who rcl!eve each other every two hours, and every precaution is taken to pre vent anything taking place to rob justice of its victim. HULL. Wo have been somewhat curious to read the account of the doings of the Hull Corporation on the visit of his 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, in 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•tour members of the corporation. The Ma} Or then called the couneil together, which met in the room of the property committee last Monday, when the follow ing members •f the council were present:—The Mayor, Messrs. Bannister, Hendry, Huntley, Holmes, Cobb, Spratt, Jacobs, Thompson, Melaw, Savage, Horner, Mitchell, Newton, Goodwill, Abbey, Richardson, Jack son, Bean, Larard, Boulter, Atkinson, Smithson, Foster, Fountain, Tall, Armstrong, Forrester, 'Tubb, Casson, Wilkinson, and Priest. _ _ _ Darin.. ' 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 which we have heard repeatedly urged against any expression of loyalty by the town of Hull, that Prince Albert's visit 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 Quet n of England as much Queen of Lincolnshire as Yorkshire, and surely the Prince could entertain no feeling of rivalry between Grina,3by and Hull." A loyal address was moved by Dr. Horner, and seconded by Mr. Jackson, who was exceed ingly sorry the council had 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 iu attesting its loyalty. Mr. Jackson said . . that there was no doubt there had been both indifference and neglect. 1)r. Ape apprehended they were suffi ciently early, and hved the reporters would b. , requested not to report a contrary feeling to this measure. Mr. Alderman Jones thought they were certainly late, but they were bitter th - in never. The Mayor said there was so little time that ho suggested the employment of the telegraph. Mr. Richardson stated that there was a gene: n 1 complaint out of doers against the corporation, an I for his part lie really did think the Mayor should have moved in the matter before. Mr. Jona Foster, Bel...;irn consul, gave his peculiar cifferings in oppPsiiion to the rest of the gentlemen. Mr. Alder man (lean, however, reminded him of a statement he (Mr. F.) hsd made, " he would cross the Humber if the Duke of Wellington was coming," which was very strange, as Mr. Poster is a member of the Peace Society. On the eao'ion being put, there was only one dissentient —was it not Mr. Foster, to whom Dr. Horner applied the lino of Swift— " Som e for renown are singular and odd." On Tuesday the Mayor announced a telegraph communication from bis Royal Highness Prince Albert, to the effect that his Royal Highness would receive the address at Brockelsby in the morning. The address was then read over and agreed to, and measures adopted fur conveying the mayor, twenty-one of the corporation. the town-clerk, and the two beadles. Omnibuses, drawn 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 Brockl:sby at ton o'clock, when, after waiting an hour and a halt; the deputation had permission to present the address, and we learn was well received. 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 ♦iewing. 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 couffbd, and for them, if they thought fit, to have had a public meeting of tbo inhabi• ta.nts to take the visit of the Prince into consideration. As the affair has been conducted, it smacks much of the old close corporate system. BEIZKS.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and soc!al content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

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. Tho accounts that have appeared from time to time as to his depression of spirits are entirely without foundation. lie exhibits no sign of repentance, nor any desire to purge his breast of the tremendous crime which must be pre .. !ing 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 he 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 mingham, have all been most assiduous in their efforts to bring the unhappy criminal to a duo sense of the awful position in 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, Rush has exhibited sincerity in 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 idiosyncracy of cha racter 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 Norfolk 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 bad 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 Felmingham on Monday morning; and the two parties met 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 fur 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 relations, 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 bands as if he was much affected. Being taken into the visitors' room, anit 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 OCCISiOD, though the wretched men protested that he was innocent, he was not guilty of the religious hypocrisy described. lie 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. Thoy re paired to the Bell, where Miss Rush remained; the other daughters, after partaking of refres went, re h are residing with turning to Felmingham, where their governess in a housewhich Rush y built there about four years ago. Mr. James Rush and his younger brother returned to Potash; but the former returned to and, accompanied by Miss Rush, Norwich on Tuesday , 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 In the pocket-book of the prisoner, exhibited in court, there was a cheque for 401. On the night after the conviction information was given to Mr Pinson, the governor of the Castle, that this cheque was misting ; and be questioned the prisoner, in order to ascertain, on the part of the family, whether he had got it. Mr. Pinson was about to take away all his papers, gild he COURT CIRCULAR.

There is scarcely a bargain made of late in London in the " Spanish deferred," which, on Ist May next, will be totally extinct, by a last conversion into Active Stock, and, consequently, aro of the same value as the latter Stock at prescnt,less the overdue coupons attcched to the old Bonds.

Auber's Fra Mayolo was prod uce d h ere last night, with a completeness highly creditable to the establish ment, considering the modesty of its pretensions. Full effect was given to all the charming music of the opera, so strewed with gay and beautiful airs, and tinctured with picturesque and national colouring. A new tenor (described as first tenor of the Grand Opera, Paris), a M. Octave, made his first appearatce here in the cha racter of the Brigand Chief. Ile 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. lie 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 so characteristics of the French stage, but he has a good figure , and im pressive countenance. Mdlle. Charton imparted a charming sprightliness to the character of Zarlina. At each nPw hearing this artist develops some new grate us a vocalist, and as an actres she avoids that affectation of mannerism which some of her countrywomen beim to be necessary attractions for an English audience. 11cr singing of the " Diavolo, Diavolo," in the first act, was an evidence of admirable taste; and in the " Quel bon heurl je respire," all the ricbness and soft mellowness of her voice came out delightfully. She was also very happy in the air " Oui, c'eat demain," with the accompanying action.
