REMARKS.
Barometers are still much lower in the north than in the son&
of the British Islas, and in Scotland after having risen two ee
three tenths of an iodi they have again fallen. In the north
temperature has do•reatied considerably. Last n*tit it blew
heavily Iron, the w:atward on the Seottials waste, and this MOM'
ing the winds are suit cbledy westerly, moderate to strong

A meeting of the Liberal Association was. held
yesterday in Liverpool, and resolutions adopted to hold •
great reform meeting iii the Amphitheatre, and to invite
Mr. John Bright, M.P., Mr. J. Stuart Mill, M.P., and Mr.
Henry Y.Thoiripson (late liberal candidate for the county).
RIVAL CLASS INTERESTS.—The" Battle of Haat-
ings" was the subject of the popular lecture last night by
the Rev. Newman Hall, to an assembly of upwards of
two thousand working people, at Surrey Chapel. The
lecturer said, in closing, that whereas once there were two
conflicting races in this country, now we were all both
Saxon and Norman, and should never speak or act as if the
interest of one class could be opposed to or distinct fro=
that of any other. The rich man's father might have begs
poor and his son might become so, while the poor mea
might himself join the rich class whom he had formerly
denounced. All should unite to promote the dignity and
prosperity of their common country ; all should combine to
resist the common foe—ignorance and vice—confident, by
God's help, of winning the victo7.
ANOTHER EXTRADITION CARE. IN CANADA.—A.
despatch from Montreal, dated Oct. 21, to the New York
Herald, says : -- Anotherextradition vase will probeblygive
rise to some discussion between the Canadian and United
States governments. I have said nothing of it until I
could see how it w.is to end. John Paxton, a cooper here,
was charged with uttering forged promissory notes to the
amount of 70,000 dollars in the early part of the summer
of Islis. lie tied to Chicago. It being discovered where
he was, a demand was made for his extradition, and be was
&livered up. IVlien he was called to plead, his counsel ob-
jected that he was extradited for forgery, and could not be
tried for uttering forged documents, the charge for which
he was to be tried. The arguments, affidavits, and legal
machine/ have been working for ten days past. The
Governor-General's warrant recited that he had ' ut-
tered,' ec., and it gees on to say that • whereas he has
been guilty of forgery, for which crime he is demanded`
' The crown prosecutor contended this was a clerical error,
and that besides, the warrant is merely an order to the high
constable to receive the prisoner from the United States
authorities. Conna.el for the defence, on the other hand,
held that thin was the demand on the United States, and
that on that demand for forgery he was delivered up. and
that therefore he could only he tried for that apeeibe
crime. A jury was empanelled to try the fact of what
crime he had been extradited for, and it was decided for
the defence. A new trial was moved for by the crown, and
to-day three judges heard the case argued, and by a
majority decided that there could be no new trial, but
that he was to be :irratigned on the charge of uttering,
like any other citizen taken here, ignoring the extradition
altogether. The prisoner protested against the whole pro-
ceedings, and pleaded not guilty under protest, and the
trial is proceeding, steel will be finished on Monday. If
found guilty, an appeal will, I have no doubt, be made to
Washington to claim protection under the treaty of extra-
dition." Ramsay. the crown prosecutor, moved to quash
the rule against him for contempt of wont in the Lami-
rande case, ote,ectin,g to the jurisdiction of the court,
which he maintains could not mane a rule on a case not
before it. The decision is reserved.
GoOD Sui:IETY IN VlENNA.—Before the battle
of S.alowa, good society in Vienna contained two emperors,
three empresses, eighteen archdukes, the foreign diplo-
matic body, and those members of the resident aristocracy
whose blood was blue enough. New nobles. inemb -rs of
useful or learned professions, authors, artists, financiers,
h..nkers, merchants. can never under any circumstances
that may be conceived, penetrate into the presence of the
elect, who thuo live in permanent and inviolable quaran-
tine. Society is bleed on the code of admission to the
impei:al court, modified by customary rules which make
p ati.cian circles ,ii sonic eases harder, in others of easier
access than the palace. Prince Windischgrats used to s:ty
L'humanib: rummenre per le fermi. But mere
baronial
humanity is too abject for the cont.. of Vienna. No one
can claim to approach his sovereign (except for official
purposes or ambencetal because his na Ile use schwarzenberfl.
Clam, Dietrichatein, and so forth. The aspirant to such a
privilege must have a shield chequered with sixteen quer-
tei 'nip, or, in other words, must prove eight successive
generations of noble birth both on the father's and on the
mother's side—a total which, since it guarantees an -
tocratic parentage ascending to the epoch of the Thirtarisy.
Years' Wer, is considered sufficient warrant of social
decency. As Austrian nobles never did, and never will,
stoop to commit imUnlfia awes, the parchments of high
families can always satisfy the scrutiny of Rouge
or Po..cullis. All members of such families (and nlOroatC
persona) are potentially courtiers, though something in
wanted be:ore they become so in ease. Now the court of
Austria is twofold. There is the general circle, which
refers to grand gala balls given in the Ritter-Saal of the
Burg, public spectacles, dinners, and the like. Then
there is the inuer circle, including the smaller (so-called
" chamber ") balls, and parties given by the Emperor and
Empress and the various members of the imperial house.
Persons inscribed on the list of the first category are Rol-
fiibig ; persons in the second category are Kaminer-fiihig,
and enjoy besides the privileges accorded to the former
sort. To the chamber-capable' belong chamberlains (K.
K. Kammerer), gran d dignitaries attached to the person of
the Emperor and Emp-eas, as Lord Chamberlain, Master
of the Buckhounds, &c., but not cabinet ministers, or
high militate and civil charges, unless these happen to be
chamberlains, or to fill an office of the class just named.
Austrians with the said sixteen guarterings are appointed
when young to the post of lam. This act et
impel ial grace metail orphoees the nobleman into a
coin tier: the grub becomes a butterfly, which is hence-
forth permitted to figure in an appropriate uniform at all
court entertainments. The same favour is ales occasionally
conferred on public servants not Austrian burn, for their
descent is not subjected to the tests proper for natives.
Into the pedigree of foreign ladies married to Austrian
nobles no inquiry is made, but alliances of this sort are
practically unknown. All these cycles and epicycles work
smoothly enough, except when some low-born married man
ar:ives at high civil or military rank. As such a person
cannot impart to others his personal privilege of coming
to court, his wife and daughters, if he have any, must be
shut out from entertainments to which be himself is
asked. This happened to the family of the late Austrian
socl4
oren)i,e% M. de Schmerling, and his Minister of Marine,
Baron Burger. The ladies in mention were ignored at the
palace, as well as in the of Vienna, where they
were apparently unknown by t. On the formation et
the present cabinet it seemedlikely that one of its most
distinguished members would be required to stoma& a
like indignity ; but this time the Empress was advised to
grant the lady conoernod the rank of Palast-dame, tll3l=
clothing her with an official *von to hide her
pedigree,—Corntill Magazine for November.
