Some of our readers will perhaps be startled by the as
sertion we are about to make—that Mr. Carl'y le's style is
identical in its leading peculiarities with that of Bishop
Andrewes. Perhaps there were never two men who
were more different in the habitual direction of their
thoughts, or in their early training, or in tr e raw mate
rials of which their writings are made up. And we feel
certain that the author of Sartor Resartus ' never read
a page of the bishop's writings, otherwise he must have
referred to them in his Cromwell.' We must conclude,
then, that these two peculiar writers of the seventeeth
and nineteenth centuries wrote as they did from some
internal necessity of a similar nature—namely, that as
Andrewes wished to speak plainly from the pulpit on
subktts which were involved in the wrappings of theo-
logical learning, his pedantry, quaintness, and slang,
were the results of his struggle with the fetters imposed
upon him ; and that the same defects in the style of the
modern author were produced by a similar wish to shake
Off the trammels which he felt to be imposed upon him
by the sometimes unmeaning decencies of the fashion-
able mode of writing."
Several curious examples are given of this strange
resemblance between the s•yles of Carlyle and
Andrewes, as for instance in the derivation or real
meaning of proper names ; in the manufacturing of
Words; in the use of the vulgarest colloquialisms;
to a pedantic play upon words ; in an etymological
prt of punning; in abrupt exclamatory sentences;
In. quaint inversions ; and in emphatic and demon-
strative epexegesis. Perhaps the most remarkable of
these resemblances is the last—namely, the epexegesis.
"From Oxford to Rome" is a dissertation Protestant
to the back-bone. It is conceived in a spirit of true
earnestness. Those who love the witcheries of
voyaging in the Arctic Antarctic regions will
read with intense interest the review of the
Works written respecting the memorable expedi•
tion of Captain Sir James Clark Ross, R.N.,
one of the ablest navigators that ever lived. The in-
terest_ of the article is enhanced by the mystery sur-
rounding the fate of the expedition to the North Pole
Under Franklin and Crozier—for the safety of which
expeditions all true hearts pray. Of the " Financial
Pressure" we have spoken so repeatedly, and there is
a certainty of so many better opportunities than the

representative for the borough
sat down amidst great
and enthusiastic cheering.

-421 commissioners—poor-law commissioners, health of

(Great laughter, and applause.) It was for this
reason that he opposed the Health of Towns Bill.
Some such Bill was necessary ; some Bill was re-
aaired to prevent people from being poisoned by the
filth of their towns, but it could be done by other
Means. It could be done without centralisation—
Without commissioners. It could be done as well—
better—more constitutional— by local boards, and he
Was determined to give all the opposition in his
Power to any proposal for taking such matters out of
the hands of the local board, and placing them in the
hands of central boards. The rate payers who paid
the money ought to have the spending of it.—
(Cheers.) He was also of opinion that the window-
tax was a most unjust and impolitic enactment, and
ought, nay must, be repealed.—(Hear, hear.) He
thought the suffrage ought to be extended not only
to all housekeepers but to many others, as there
Were many lodgers who were men of sufficient intel-
ligence and stake in the country to entitle and
qualify them to vote.—(Great applause.) It had
been said that he was not a true reformer. He thought
if any proof was wanting of his sincerity in respect to
reform, he had given one quite sufficient to convince
the electors of Marylebone, within the last week or
ten days, by suggesting the ballot between himself
and his two rivals, Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Daniel
Whittle Harvey.—(Hear, hear.) His Lordship then
entered at some length into an explanation of the ar-
rangements on that subject. He was in favour of the
ballot.—(Cheers.) He would rather people could
vote openly. It was repulsive to his feelings to see
men discharging a duty in secret.—(Hear.) But was
it not better men should discharge a duty in private
than betray it in public ?—(Aye, aye ! and cheers.)
It was impossible to seoure purity of election without
it, and the objection must be abandoned.
inThere was
no doubt that many men acted honestly spite of
those who, having them in their power, tyrannically
endeavoured to influence their votes. I here were
many such in Marylebone; but we had no right to
call upon a man to make such a sacrifice.—(Great
cheering ) He ought to be protected.—(Hear.)
Ills Lordship proceeded then to go over a number of
.charges of inconsistency which had been made against
him by his opponents or their friends, to all of which
he gave clear and satisfactory answers. After dwell-
ing at some length on the Polish question, the Noble
Lord sat down amidst the most enthusiastic cheers.
Several questions having been put to his Lordship,
and answered by him, a resolution, pledging the meet-
ing to support his Lordship at the ballot on Monday,
Was unanimously passed.
After giving three cheers for Lord D. Stuart, and
Moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting
Separated.

DUNDEE TRADE REPORT. Our markets have
undergone no change during the last eight days. Flax
Possessed of colour and quality is inquired after, and is
saleable in small quantities at about former rates. In
hemp and hemp cedilla there is little or nothing doing
lfor want of supples. East India jute continues rather
,s,c„lrue. and meets ready buyers, at prices varying from
lOs. to 241. 10s. per ton, according to the colour and
rpiality of the parcels. The arrivals from foreign ports
during the past week consist of one vessel from Riga,
itone from Revel, and one from Altona, loaded with flax,
?.. The last accounts from the different Baltic ports
auylse no important change in the position of any of the
1115trkets. Prices of flax and codilla were maintained,
hthout much activity in business. The weather
raroughout the continent is still reported as uncoil-.
