SALISBURY ASSIZES.

Jtan Lodi, a foreigner, was put to the bar, charged
with having broken open the house of Harry Reeve,
of Draycot, and stealing therein sundry articled of
food, a basket of apples, a cotton handkerchief, and
a clasp knife, the property of the said Harry Reeve.
The prisoner has been in custody since last October,
and was remanded at the last Assizes for want of an
interpreter ; and although since that period several
persons possessing a knowledge of foreign languages
had been sent to him, no one had as yet been able to
understand what he said, or make out who he was;
at length application was made to the Transport
Board, and a Gentleman from the Office was sent
down, who soon ascertained that hr was by birth a
Russian, who having deserted to Poland, was sent
with the Polish Legions into Spain, and taken priso-
, ner. He had, it appears, made his escape from one
of the depots for Prisoners of war, and atter wander-
ing for a few days, was driven by hunger to take the
step for which he was tried ; he broke four iron bars
from the pantry window, and took from thence a
large quantity of food, which he devoured, and drank
an immense quantity of wine•lees. It being washing
day, the family rose at midnight, and Miss Reeve, a
rang lady of ill, going down stairs with her mother,
perceived by the draught of wind that something was
wrong ; after a short search, they found him asleep
under a tree in the orchard ; he was immediately sei.
zed by Miss R. till the rest of the family came to her
assistance,and he was finally secured ; when taken he
drew a clasp-knife from his packet, and attempted to
cut his throat, but was prevented. His real name is
Ivan Koslova ; he was capitally convicted, but recei-
ved a hope of pardon, being reprieved before Baron
GRAHAM left the town.

And enliven the weddinger's ear,
Whilst my friend with a sigh

Loss OF THE SPITFIRE SAILINQ-BOAT.—Yesterday
afternoon, about four o'clock, this little elegant vessel,
which has won many prizes given by the proprietors
of Vauxhall and the New Ranelagh Gardens, was
sunk within 200 yards of the Red-House, on the
Surrey side of the Thames. It being a spring tide,
with a strrng wind, she ran against some floating
timbers, by which she was bilged. There were five
men and a boy on board, who made their escape on
the timbers. The accident is said to have been occa-
's'ioned by the vessel carrying too much sail.
The following melancholy accident has happened
at Cambridge :—On Saturday last, C. 8. Mathews,
Esq. M.A. Fellow of Downing College, went to bathe
in the Cam, a little above that town, but venturing
in a deep part of the river, he got entangled in the
weeds, arid, though an excellent swimmer, was un-
fortunately drowned in the presence of three gentle-
men, who had it not. in their power to assist him,
owing to the danger of the place. A boat was pin-
eared, and the body wassgot tip in about 20 minute's,
but ton late for restoration to life, though every pos-
sible means was used by the faculty for that purpose.
Mr. Mathews was in the 27th year of his age, lately
of 'trinity College, and took a High Wrangler's de-
gree of B.A. in January, 1805.
Between Saturday se'nnight and Sunday morning,
a man belonging to one of the pinnaces which ply
between Leith and Kinghorn, was drowned at the
Black Rocks, to the east of Leith harbour. The pin-
ntce came over from Kingliorn at low water, and,
as she could not make the harbour,, the men all left
her at the Rocks, - except the unfortunate person in
question. When the other men returned to the pia.
race on Sunday morning, he was missing, and the
body has not yet been found.
Saturday se'nnight an elderly female, who resides
near GanawargAte, in the parish ol Budbrook, drank,
by mistake, a small bottle of oil of vitriol, instead of
a medicine which she had ordered to be procured for
)ter. Medical aid was immediately called in, but all
their efforts could not save her, as she languished in
great agony till Monday, when she died.
About three o'clock on Thursday morning, two
countrymen, who were keeping it up alter Busted
Fair, quarrelled at a public house, and went out to
fight, when one of .them, a fine youth of 18 years of
,age, received in the third round an unlucky blow, that
killed him on the spot.
A few days ago a child was tossed by a cow in
the market place, at Nottingham, and had its brain.
dashed out on the pavement by the fall. The env/
was the property ol Mr. J. Cox, and was being driven
with its calf through the town, when it came up with
the unfortunate child, who was playing at the door
