POSTAL DIRECTORY. 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 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
isQues from the press, 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 1849," 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 regulations 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 " SupVe-
meat," furnishes the usual information with reference to Teets and
Members of the House of Commons.

Likewise, price 155.. the " Post-office London Directory for 1849,"

THE NICOLL.—REGENT• STREET and
CORNHILL.

BESIDES the above Patented Article, there
is another Novelty introduced for this Season which is
however, Registered, and consists in a BODY GARMENT some-
what in the form of a Dress-coat, that is to say, a Gentleman
can wear it in the evening without distinctly infringing the laws
of costume recognised in Society ; but as it is more especially in-
tended for morning wear, when Riding or Walking, it necessarily
avoids the stiff formality to Ds observed in the cut and form of_the
Dress-coat. The price is

TWO GUINEAS.
the same as charged at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and
22, CORNIIILL, for

THE REGISTERED PALETOT,
wkich is likewise new ready- for the Spring months, with all
the new and patented improvements included in the above moderate
price; thus it deservedly bears the name of being not only the most
fashionable but also the cheapest and most durable garment ever
offered to the Public, the intrinsic value of the material known as
NICOLLIAN or LLAMA CLO 211, being, within the last few months,
much enhanced, the same durability being retained, with an increased
fineness and beauty in appearance. It can be seen ready for imme-
diate wear, in every size, at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET,
and 22, CORNIIILL, bat

IT is impossible to detail in an ordinary Adver-
tisement the many advantages appertaining to the above gar-
ments. In the first place, Messrs. NICOLL purchase the wool
direct from the foreign grower, and it does not leave their possession
until it is produced in a complete form and ready for the inspection
of their Patrons. Messrs. NICOLL are honoured with the patronage
of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cam-
bridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wel•
lington, and all others distinguished in Rank and Fashion, the Court,
the Pulpit, and the Bar.
At 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL,
there is to be seen

THE NICOLL.—A patented garment and pos•
sessing this peculiarity, that whilst in its exterior it preserves
every characteristic of the Registered Paletot, it can, by simply
detaching an inner lining, be conver ed from a warm to a light
0. ercoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of the wearer. This same
inner lining, when detached, of itself forms a most comfortable
reading or dressing jacket. There are many other advantages con-
allied in THE NICOLL, rendering it as a garment a most valuable
adjunct in a variable climate, also for travelling, &c., but it should
be seen and worn to be fairly appreciated, but it can be had in Lon-
don only at 114, 116, 120, REGEITT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL,
an 1

TT is perkaps unnecessary here to state that Messrs.
NICOLL will endeavour to deserve and retain the eminent
position they have attained through the employment and liberal
payment of the best skill and talent tkat can be met with in order
to introduce articles of gentlemanly costume in the most perfect
taste. Messrs. N. are well aware that their great popularity induced
by the high character exhibited in every point of the Registered
Paletot, Etc., &c., has caused many to assume a somewhat similar
title for their goods, but the copy has consisted only in a close re-
semblance of tke name but not of the article ; a careful observance
of the annexed address is therefore respectfully solicited, where the
above garments can only be obtained in London.

THE STANFIELD-HALL
MURDERS.

CONVICTION OF RUSH.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
NORWICH, WEDNESDAY.
The Court was not so crowded this morning.
Rush, we understand, was busily engaged during part
of the night in writing, and preparing for the continua-
tion of his defence to-day. He ate a hasty breakfast at
eight o'clock.
Mr. Baron ROLFE took his seat at a quarter to nine.
The jury then entered the box. After the lapse of a
few minutes Rush was placed at the bar; he looked well.
Rush continued his defence.—Having reminded the
jury of what he was saying when he broke off last
night (the prisoner spoke sometimes in so low axed
guttural a tone that we could only gather the purport
of his remarks with great difficulty),
he complained that
all the witnesses had been tampered with, and asserted
that in many most important points they bad clearly
and grossly contradicted themselves. Had Howe been a
respectable man his evidence would have been most im-
portant for the ends of the prosecution. He had received
a letter yesterday, signed by several respectable per-
sons, stating that he had offered to come to Norwich
to give evidence on either side for twenty pounds.
He regretted he could not put it in evidence.
Of course, only having been informed at the last
moment that Howe would be called, he could not be ex-
pected to obtain all the evidence that he could wish to
show the character of 00 fitness. lie should, how-
ever, produce respectable Individuals who would inform
them who and what Howe was. Then, the boy Smith,
who littered the straw, gave different evidence in this
court to that he had given before the Coroner.
The COURT intimated that the depositions taken before
the Coroner were not in evidence. He had simply to
answer the evidence that had been adduced in this court.
Rush said, then, he would not allude further to that
discrepancy in the testimony of the witness. He clearly
showed that the " slack " had been littered some time
before the day of the murder. The straw had been
there more than a fortnight.
The COURT intimated that the witness said he could
not swear that it bad been there more than a fortnight.
He could not speak to the exact time, whether it was a
fortnight or a day or two before the murder.
Rush contended that the witness meant to say that the
straw had been there a fortnight. The assertion that
he had said " young Jermy was his enemy," was got
up for the purpose of colouring the case against him, and
was altogether opposed to truth. He complained that the
papers in his carpet-bag had been thrown about for the
purpose of rendering them as valueless to him as pos-
sible. Ho then referred to the evidence of
Pont and Mortar, the constables. Great mystery
was endeavoured to be attached to the wigs. Why,
they were kept in an open box, to which access could be
easily obtained, which would not have been the case if
they had been kept for the purpose of disguise. The pri-
soner then proceeded to deal to painful tediousness with
the most trivial matters which cannot affect the posi-
tion in which he stands to any extent. Speaking
of the evidence of Hubbersty with respect to Emily
Sandford signing her deposition, he said he knew
by the man's eye that he was telling a
lie. He complained much of Mr. Cann's interference
with his private papers, and of the secret examinations
of Emily Sandford by him. The fictitious signatures of
Mr. Jermy were so unlike the real, that no person of the
slightestsense could mistake the two. Let them look at
them and say, as men of business, if they would not
at once be detected. It was said that he intended
to murder Mr. Jermy, and to make use of the
forged deeds in order to get possession of the
property, which was as horrible and as gross and un-
founded a charge as could be brought against any man
in a court of justice. His signature was a most
uncommon one ; it was well known, and the
forgery could, therefore, be detected at once.
He implored the jury to examine the two, and to judge
for themselves. So much evidence had been adduced,
and that of so contradictory a nature, that
he trusted the :jury would bear with him. He saw
they were patient, and he was obliged to them. Ho was
utterly at a loss to understand why Savory, who spoke to
meeting him at five o'clock on the night of the murder.
was produced, except it was to prolong time. He put it
to them, as men of common sense, if it was likely
that he would make the inquiries he had as to whether
or not Mr. Jermy was at home on the night
of the murder, if he intended that same
night to commit the horrible crime of murder.
It was not feasible, and he could not ,make it out. He
defied any one in England to say, after looking
at tho way the prosecution had been conducted,

[A juryman here asked for a glass of water, and the
prisoner, who had a glass beside him, immediately
raised it, and, bowing, drank with him.l
The prisoner returned to the different points of his
defence again and again, going over the same ground,
and interlarding his observations on the evidence of each
witness with appeals to the Almighty in proof of his
innocence. He repeated that ho never used stronger lan-
guage to any one with respect to Mr. Jermy than he had
to that gentleman himself. Howe had been kept back until
the last moment, and at a time when the counsel for the
prosecution knew that he would have but little
tine to bring forward evidence to show the
value of his testimony. He had now gone through
the remarks which he had to make upon the
pricipal evidence adduced against him. Instead of its
being to his interest that Mr. Jermy should die
it was to his interest that he should live,
entered
ou nt
with him with respect to the property. The
of the agreements into which
prisoner uttered this with much vehemence, striking his
ohne a°
hand as ho said it emphatically on the dock before him.
The facts he had already stated showed that an at-
tempt to take possession of the hall Witi not unlikely.
The parties who had tried it before bad bad nothing done
to them, and there was an idea that had they held pos-
session they would have succeeded. He hoped the jury
would consider the whole bearing of the subject, and
think of nothing that had appeared in newspaper re-
ports, for they must see the difference between those re-
ports and the evidence. And first, as to time, they
would bear in mind the conflicting evidence which had
been given in that respect. A great fuss had been made
about his not cross-examining Miss Sandford the second
time she was brought forward as a witness. He asked
the jury to consider the situation she was in. She
went to the hall for twelve hours, and there she was
made to believe all these things, and to turn round
against him, Still, on the first deposition made by
her he was willing to stand or fall. If it was the last
word he had to speak, he would show that he went no
further than he h already stated; that it was
clamrpoosi
sible for him tort gone further than the b
+
five minutes
therehe wfeern to bed al-
only. Emily Sandford stated thaiisi
e, and that would
his farm; and tint he stopped
ways at nine o'clock or half-pas_t
double that time
fire But, supposing he was -line,
fithveejmuly beard what time Pont took to walk the distance
betweenr the hall and Potash in the open day. But Pot-
ashshow that he was not out mere than twenty or twenty-
laud was not like common walking land, and the
time was night. He hoped the jury would consider whe-
ther Emily Sandford's evidence given before them ought
to weigh against his life. Had he contemplated such an
act, did the jury think that he would have had her there
at all? She said that ho trembled; but he was frightened
by what he had told them about. However, when that
was over and he had got into bed and begun to warm
he became as calm and collected as he was at the pre-
sent moment.—(Sensation.) He knew that his con-
science was clear ; and did they think that he would
have had God Almighty's protection in standing there
as he had done it he was guilty ? He could not have
looked them in the face ; he should have been mad be-
forethat
the now.—(Renewed sensation.) His Lordship said
(the prisoner) put to Emily Sand-
ford were not important ; but he said they were. They
showed she was the last person he would have thought
of using for such a purpose as the forgery of these
questions hhe
papers. As to those papers they must bear in mind the
different evidence which she had given with regard to
them. He hoped that after that evidence the jury would
not (indeed they could not) think that such was the case.
He had always been in the habit of going to the White
Hart at Norwich, and could always get a bottle of
wino there to dinner when he wanted it ; and as to
the brandy, considering that she was in the
family-way, it was necessary that she should have
some when she was ill, and be told her so.—(Sensation.)
The effect, however, sought to be produced by the
counsel for the Crown was, that he gave Emily Sand-
ford brandy in order to make her sign the papers.
The JUDGE —I don't think there was anything in that
evidence. You may address the jury on the point, but
it has produced no impression on my mind.
The prisoner—No one could read that evidence with-
out thinking that what he had stated was the effect of it.
That brandy evidence was introduced into the trial to
make the forged papers of more consequeLce. He only
wished to cheer her up, poor thing, when she did not
feel well.—(Sensation.)
The JUDGE—It seems to me most absurd that any
inference such as you have stated should be drawn from
this. But lam glad you mentioned it, because it strikes
me that you would be more likely to cheer her up with
wine than brandy .—(Sensation.)
The prisoner thought it would be material to show the
dress which he really did wear upon the night of the
murder. Some of the parties who had been produced as
witnesses before them had seen it. It was held up be-
fore them in the yard at Potash, where, knowing the
eircumstances that were likely to fix suspicion on him,
he had ,put it before the police arrived. Whether it was
that, after the evidence which had been given as to the
appearance of the man seen at the Hall, they thought it
