AUDACIOUS ROBBERY AND MURDER AT ROME.--•
A letter from Rome gives an amount of an audacious
crimp committed in one of the most frequented thorough..
fares of the city. M. Baldini, a money changer, who has a
shop on the Corso, tut resides at a distance, has long been ix
the habit of removing hie specie to his dwelling-house after
business hours in a hackney coach. Oa the evening of tho
crime, when two clerks were convoying the money, the
carriage was suddenly stopped in the Via Lucina by three
men, one of whom held the horse while the two others
poniarded the clerks, seized the money, amounting to
10,000 scudi (63,000 fr.), and got clear off. Ono of the
clerks was killed on the spot, and the other died the next
morning. The coaohman, whose complicity appears probable,
has been arrested, but the robbers have not yet been dis-
covered,Assoon as General do Montebello was informed

—" Strictly speaking,a year of a person's age is completed,

this rule. For " last" ho would read "first;" referring,
as his authority, to Anon. Salkeld, 44 :—" It has been ad-
judged that if one he born the Ist of February, at eleven at
night, and the last day of January in the 21st year of his
