Mr. Edward Ellice.
The France of Wednesday says, that though the report of
the Duke of Angouleme's death is not true, yet, that by ac-
counts of the 6th, received from Goritz, there was no doubt
that he could not hold out for many days.
"A letter from Madrid, of the 6th iustant," says the
Commerce, "has been communicated to us, according to
which Bonet had left Alicante in an English frigate, which
anchored off Alicante at dusk, on the 29th of February•, and
set sail about eleven at night, carrying away, it is said, large
sums of money.
The last letters from Italy are full of accounts of the
armed bands which have of late re-appeared in the Appe-
nines and in the low country on the coast of the Adriatic;

at Bologna are not sufficient to prevent the nightly depreda-
tions to which that city is exposed.

LAW AND POLICE.
-At the Oxford Assizes, Edward Butler was tried for the
murder of his wife, by kicking and beating her in a most
brutal manner. The jury to the surprise of the Court, re-
turned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter only. The pri-
soner was transported for life.
At the same assizes Keeling Richardson, aged 24, John
Richardson, 34, and Joseph Starkie, 18, three of a desperate
gang who have infested this county for some. time past, were
indicted for entering in the night time certain enclosed lands
at Clifton Campville, and for having feloniously 'wounded
Thomas Harrison, with intent to murder him. The jury
found all the prisoners guilty, and they were transported for
20 years.
assizes on the 'Western Circuit were opened yesterday
at Dorchester by Judges Wightman and Cresswell.
John Hall, Richard Terry, sen., Richard Terry, jun.,
Joseph Terry, William Adams, and Thomas Spratley, were
indicted, at Aylesbury, for having committed a brutal assault
on the person of Ann Pepper. The evidence proved the inost
shocking depravity on the part of the prisoners, who were
found guilty, and transported for twenty years.
The trial of the persons charged at Tullamore with the
murder of Lord Norbury, has been postponed till the next
assizes.

.Two boys, named W. Matthie and Joseph Hood, both
under 14 years of age, were committed for trial from Mary-
lebone, on charge of robbing Mrs. Cobden, the lady of the
Honourable Member for Stockport, of her purse, containing
11/. 15s. 6d., while passing through Oxford-street.
William Carnell, a tall well-dressed man, was brought
before Mr. Cottingham, at Union-hall, for re-examination,
charged with being concerned with another man, not in cus-
tody, in the robbery of James Forder of 110/. in Bank of
England notes and sovereigns. The robbery was effected by
the old trick of entering into conversation with him, advising
to be very careful of his money from the number of
Sharpers about, and then "ringing the changes!' by putting
a bag of coppers into his pocket instead of his sovereigns.
The prosecutor left town by the train for Brenchley, in Kent,
'immediately after the robbery, and did not discover his loss
!till.the next morning. The prisoner was committed for trial.
