VIENINIA, DEC. 4.---We have read here with
much surprise several very false statements' re-
specting the circular notes which our Court and
that of Russia have addressed to their Ministers
at Foreign Courts, and which they have commu-
nicated to the Governments to which they are
accredited. The contents of these notes, one of
which is signed by Prince Metternich, and the
other by Count Nesselrode, are entirely the
same. We know from good•authority that they
state in substance that the interview of the two
Emperors at Czernowitz took place in conse-
quence of arrangements made between. the two
Sovereigns while they were at Inspruck, in the
Tyrol, after the close of the Coogress ot Verona,
and on their return from •Veoice ,that the sole
object of this interview at Czernowitz .was to
-oolvferson the affairs of Turkey, as had been set-
-1%15.1)111a. ; that, hovever, on this occa.
sion, the Emperors declare that they are wholly
satisfied with the result of the political system
.which they have adopted, and by which they
have maintained and consolidated the repose of.
Europe, endeavouring to destroy the spirit of
Aestlessness and rebellion ; lastly, that the two
Emperors mill always remain faithful to those
principles which they have openly manifested.
Prince .Metternich continues his diplomatie.
• conferences with the Foreign Ministers, and.
-daily receives at his house souse of the Members
•of the Diplomatic Body, who are at Vienna.---
The health of this distingnishetl and
highly-
respected Statesman is entirely re-established,
but his Physicians insist on his ant quitting his
apartments, as taking cold at this season might
have dangerous consequences.
We can state positively., that M. de Tiqual-
- meat, our Ambassador at Naples, is appointed to
go in the same quality to • Madrid, and will be
succeeded at Naples by Baron Wessenberg, for-
, merly-our Ambassador at Munich. !,Count
Val-
it:n(lot and Prince Philip of ease.llombrurg
have returned to Naples. The former will take
the chief command in Sicily, and the latter will
command the army of occupation during tire oh-
eence of Baron Frimont, who is expectedliere.

a young woman, in her 'holiday suit, called on a gentleman 'who
had taken the management of a subscription for a latnlable
purpose, and stated that her mistress (whom she named)
had sent her for the Suburiptlon paper that stile 'might:
put down her name for five guineas. Three or four days
passed over, and no rc.delivery of the paper took place ;
the gentleman, therefore, endeavoured to discover the Lady,
but no such person was to be found.

ORIGIN OF PLUCKING IN TIM UNIN
t is still t 1)( practice, as it has been for ages
past, for the Proctors to walk before the Masters
of Arts, or others who are assembled in Convoca-

When a -person was presented for his Degree,
and any one had an objection to his passing, he
plucked the sleeve of the Proctor as he passed,
'upon which his Degree was suspended, and which
is the Case even now..
