'On Wednesday last, an English family or dig
tinction passed through Exeter from Lisbon, on-
their way to London ; it was their original in-
tention to have returned ' through Spain and
France, but they were inforned' that it was
int-
possible to take that route, without incurring
the most imminent danger of being assassi-
natd on the road; as the part of Spain they most:

does, disaffected to the new Government ; who
not only robbed, but murdered every stranger the

A person of the name of WILKINSON, belonging
to the Custom-house, undertook, on Saturday
morning, for a considerable wager, to run 8i—
miles within the hour. The ground he chose was
on Blackheath. He started about eight o'clock,
andootwithstanding the unfavourable weather,he
performed the distance in fifty-six minutes and
forty seconds.

following anecdote is quoted as a proof of
the gaiety and harmony, which prevails among the
Sovereigns at Vienna :—No sooner had the Em-
peror of RUSSIA, Kings of RaussiA and BAVARIA,
obtained Austrian regiments, than they transmit
, ted to the Emperor a petition for the prolongation
of their leave of absence. The King of DENMARK
presented the request. The Emperor of AUSTRIA,
smiling at this pleasantry, wrote at the bottom of
the paper—Placeat.
A Member of the' Common Council of Dublin
having asserted that some of the brewers used
poisonous and deleterious drugs in their beer, all
the brewers of that city have come forward -with
affidavits before the Lord Mayor, in Which they
swear that they Lse nothing but malt and hops,
without any poisonous or deletereous ingredients
whatever. Similar insinuations have been often
thrown out against the London brewers, but they
have never repelled the accusation in this way.
JURY TRIALS.—At a meeting of the Faculty of
Procurators of Glasgow, called to consider the
subject of a Julry trial in civil causes, it was re-
solved, that to dispense to Scotland, extensively
and conveniently, the full benefit of a Jury in
civil causes, it seemed. indispensably necessary
that the-Court should, at proper intervals, sit in
the principal towns of those districts where the
parties and witnesses .reside, and where alone Ju-
ries could be found sufficiently conversant, in those
cases, respecting Shipping Insurance, commerce,
and Manufactitres, which form the fittest objects
of Jury trial : that the 'same conveniency to the
Public requires the restoration to the Sheriff of
the ancient and constitutional practice of trying
civil causes by the aid of a Jury.
