ics on Fashion._--Can any one of the numerous readers of
"N. & Q." explain the meaning of the following passage of the note of p.
305. of Alison's _History of Europe_, 7th edition?--

"A very curious work might be written on the influence of political
events and ideas on the prevailing fashions both for men and women;
there is always a certain analogy between them. Witness the
shepherd-plaid trousers for gentlemen, and coarse shawls and muslins
worn by ladies in Great Britain during the Reform fervour of 1832-4."

_Rev. W. Rondall._--Can any of your correspondents give information
respecting the Rev. William Rondall, Vicar of Blackhampton, Devonshire
(1548), who translated into English a portion of the writings of the
learned Erasmus?

HISTORICUS.

_Henry, third Earl of Northumberland._--The above nobleman fell on the
battle field of Towton (Yorkshire), 29th March, 1461, and was interred in
the church of St. Denys, or Dionisius, in York, where his tomb, denuded of
its brass, is still pointed out. Pray does an account exist, in any of our
old historians, as to the removal of the body of the above nobleman from
that dread field of slaughter to his mansion in Walmgate in the above city,
and of his interment, which doubtless was a strictly private one? Again,
does any record exist of the latter event in any book of early registers
belonging to the above church? Doubtless many readers of "N. & Q." will be
able to answer these three Queries.

_"When we survey," &c._--Where are the following lines to be found?

"When we survey yon circling orbs on high,
Say, do they only grace the spangled sky?
Have they no influence, no function given
To execute the awful will of Heaven?
Is there no sympathy pervading all
Between the planets and this earthly ball?
No tactile intercourse from pole to pole,
Between the ambient and the human soul?
No link extended through the vast profound,
Combining all above, below, around?"

ALLEDIUS.

_Turnbull's Continuation of Robertson._--Some years ago, a continuation of
Robertson's work on _Scottish Peerages_ was announced by Mr. Turnbull,
Advocate of Edinburgh.--I shall be glad to be informed whether it as
published; and by whom or where.

Cheshire, who may
