KA,Arou-Hoese..—A young man was charged with having
committed a highway robbery. Last winter, a washerworne4
named Jane Cos, was knocked down near Angel-alley, and
robbed of a large bundle of clothes, the property of Mr. Jed;
kin, of Bishorgate-street, and other Gentlemen. The treas.
went slo received was dreadful. One of the villaiqs who at.
tacked her, dashed her against the pavement, a,.d kicked her in
different parts of the body ; another dragged het along while
she held the clothes, and at length, both having kicked and
trailed her about till she lost all power, made off v ith the bun-
dle. A female, who seemed to be one of the .atrec:r.us ge.ng,
looked on during the whole of the transaction, which took place
at an early hour in the evening. The cries of the poor women
brought some persons to her assistance, but the assailants had sd
escaped dawn Angel-alley. The unfortunate washerwore an, wika
has not recovered from the treatment she met with, had a
powerful recollection or the faces and persons of the met_
One of the men (be who dragged Mrs. Cox along the ground)
was apprehended upon her description of him, and tried at the
Old Bailey for the robbery. lie was convicted, and s. ntenced
to die, but that sentence was commuted to transportation for
life. The Police having received a description en the s cood
robber from the prosecatrix, and also some information frier a
poor woman named Langley, who lived in the neighbourhood,
made a search after the prisoner, but could not find him. At
last it was ascertained that be had arriv,d in town, and the
officers caught him. Upon his being placed at the bar, the pre-
secutrix immediately declared, in the most solemn mariner, that
he v:as the man who knocked her down. The prisoner pre-
tested his innocence, but was fully committed.

The Church of the Holy Trinity, at Hull, was
broken into last week. The robbers picked several
locks, broke open the poo,-'s box, and carried off the
contents, with several articles from the Vestry, with
which they escaped undiscovered.
The carpenters' -work in Westminster Hall is no::•
completed. Everything is ready for the upholste:er
and other decorators. The galleries are finished, as
are the floorings, particularly the elevated station f.
the Royal table, which also appears. On each site
of the Hall, but not quite under the lower
there. is a table; and thus the middle portion Lf
the' Hall, to a great width, is . left emir ely open
and unoccupied. Along this space the Champion,
with the Earl Marshal on one side, and the Lord
High Constable on the other, preceded by He-
ralds, 'Squires, &c. will ride ; all three will be on
horseback abreast, proceeding from the Hall-gate to
the ascent to the Royal table. The floor of the regal
board is on a level with the former entrance into the
late Courts of Chancery and King's Bench ; and the
ascent to it is by steps and landings reaching quite
across the Halt, The table thus has a most com-
manding and imposing station. The arches of the
twelve windows in the wall on each side of the
Hall, as they appear above the galleries, have
been completely restored .by the masons skill.—
The arms Of Richard H. and the ornaments of the
Hart; &c. introduced by that Monarch, re-appear,
fresh and perfect; and those parts which were left in-
.complete, owing to the deposition i.f. Richard before
'the works in the Hall projected by him were finished,
have also been perfected. The figures of old Kings,
which latterly appeared over the Judge's seats,
are replaced -in their original niches on each side
of the southern and newly-opened grand u indoar
behind the Royal table. The masons have finished
;the north window, fronting New Palace Yard, as %ell
as the tower or turret starting from the summit of
:the roof; and as the scaffolding is entirely removed,
-great numbers of perions daily proceed to admire
the beauty, peculiarity, and minute finish of the ma-
sonry'. The masons are now engaged in repairing
each side of the great gate; and these are the on!y
workmen now employed about the Hall. The car-
penters completed their works here on Saturday
night ; they have also terminated their portion of tl:e
works-in Westminster Abbey.
