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 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 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 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- ,
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 Immediately, afterwards thefiolt was withdrawn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 her confession of 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

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 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 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 Ihad
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 know- why '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 your Conviction, -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 eachiother
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.
