UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Sarah Rich was charged before Mr. Cottingham with as-
saulting Mary Welch, under the following aggravated cir-
cumstances parties had been in the company of a
gentleman; who exhibited a good deal of expensive jewel-
lery on his person, and they were all drinking together at a
public-house in the London-road. When they came out the
defendant proposed to her companion to rob the gentleman
of some of his jewellery, •a proposition which was rejected,
upon which she was attacked by her assailant, who struck
her in the face with great violence.—She was held to bail.
A young woman named Mills was charged with inflicting a
serious wound on the head of a young man named Twig, with
a quart pewter pot.
The complainant stated that, while taking some beer in
front of the bar of a public-house, the defendant, who was
there with others, took up a pewter pot, and struck him a
blow on the head which cut it open.
The defendant's account was that, while standing at the
bar, the complainant pulled her petticoats over her head.
Mr. Corriscaux said he could not punish the offender,
who had received such strong provocation, and therefore dis-
charged her.

The Royal establishments at Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace are undergoing a total revision and ar-
rangement, to come into operation on and after the 30th
instant. The rota of "the waits" of the lords and ladies of
the bedchamber, maids of honour, grooms, equerries, &c.,
is to be more strictly observed than has hitherto been
the case. Both the state pages are placed on the retired list ;
four or five of the other pages have been. discharged; and
the duty of the remainder rendered permanent, instead of
having alternate months of close waiting. The number of
the gentlemen porters has been reduced, and many of the-
male and female domestics of the Royal Household dii-
charged.
