Salisbury
Monday, December 6, 1813.

We are much pleased to find that Mrs.Salmon, whose talents excited such universal admiration at our last musical festival, is under an engagement to sing at Mahon's Concert, on Thursday. His scheme is an excellent one, and there is every reason to expect that he will have a crowded room.



A ball in commemoration of the late splendid victories, was given at the Town-hall, Warminster, on Friday se'nnight : the room was brilliantly illuminated, and the amusements went off with great spirit.

On Wednesday an extraordinary fat Ox was roasted at Trowbridge, which was distributed in proportionate pieces, accompanied by bread and strong beer, among the numerous working people belonging to the cloth manufactories, and others, of that town, who brought dishes and jars in order to take it to their houses to enjoy the comforts of the jovial feast with their families. In the evening the town was brilliantly illuminated, and numerous transparent devices were displayed, particularly the expressive of the late glorious events in Germany. A fine heifer was likewise roasted on Thursday; and we are happy to learn the festivities of each day passed off in a most satisfactory manner; chiefly to be attributed to the excellent arrangement of the Gentlemen under whose direction the subscriptions were raised.



The Newmarket Coursing Club commenced their first meeting on Monday last, at Cheveley, when twenty-four matches were run in a high style. Lord Rivers produced the most dogs, and, as usual, took the lead.

On Friday week, a most daring robbery was committed on the old Bath and Salisbury Road, by two ill-looking fellows, who stopped a young woman, between Market Lavington and Imber, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and threatened to murder her if she did not instantly deliver her money. They took from her 5s which she said, was her all. The poor woman then took to her heels and escaped any further ill treatment. The rascals did not attempt to pursue her, from which it is supposed they were deterred by their having discovered some shepherds, or other persons, not far distant from the scene of their iniquity.
