The Advertise;, in an article on " Puseyism" (the
baneful tendency of which we have often exposed), gives
two opinions of Sir Robert Peel, furnished by his
' friends :—" The circumstance of Mr. Gladstone being
appointed to the Vice. Presidency of the Board of Trade,
has indeed led, in some quarters, to the surmise that the
Tory Premier is himself a Puseyite. On that point it is
not for us to express an opinion in the absence of proof.
Though to be sure very little religion—we mean the re-
ligion of the New Testament—be required to constitute
the Puseyite character, we doubt whether Sir Robert
Peel is theologian enough fully and clearly to compre-
hend the details of that system. At all events, if Sir
Robert is a Puseyite now, his conversion must have been
of very recent date ; for within the last twelve months
this very Mr. Gladstone, in a work already named, de-
nounced the Right Hon. Baronet as a man devoid of all re-
ligion,' jgnd a person who was consequently, though pos-
sessed of considerable abilities' as a politician, alto-
gether unfit to be entrusted with the destinies of the
State. Nor is this the most recent or the most terrible
denunciation with which Sir Robert has been visited by
the Puseyites. Little more than two months have elapsed
since he was gibbeted in the Brittsh Critic—the recog-
nised quarterly organ of the party—as a cold, heart-
less, selfish man,' without a particle of religion in his
composition ;' as an inveterate egotist ;' as a man of
' mean, sordid, earthly mind;' as a hypocrite in
heart, anti a traitor to his professed principles in ac-
tion ;' as a man whom it was impossible to respect in
his public capacity, though possessing some amiable
qualities in private life;' and • as a person in whom no
one ought to repose the slightest confidence.' "
In reference to the Penny Post, the Inverness Courier
observes :—" There is a report that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer intends raising the rate of postage from one
penny to fourpence. We trust this will prove to be
erroneous. The number of letters is rapidly' ncreasing,
so that, in a few years, the revenue from this source will
be equal to its former amount. In our Highland dis-
tricts the change would be a serious evil ; as, from the
poverty of the people, the clergy and others had often to
advance sums to enable their poor parishioners to pay
letters from their distant relatives and children."

The Plymouth Journal commenting on Sir Robert
Peel's first Ministerial speech, says :—" The mountain
has at length been safely delivered, and Sir Robert Peel's
anxiously anticipated manifesto has come out—a very
ridiculous little mouse. The cry had gone forth for some
decided measure to restore the revenue, to relieve the
distress of the country, and quell the rising discontent—
and 10, and behold, a most magnanimous appeal from the
Grand Vizier on—the Ventilation of the House of Com-
mons."

The Derby Reporter thus describes the Tory Cabinet:—
"It is like Nebuchadnezzar's image, its feet are com-
posed partly of iron and partly of clay; it is strong
in the support of Parliament, strong in the
support of the aristocracy, but weak on the foundation
on which all Governments must stand—the affections of
the people. The millions are against them ; the middle
classes are rallying to the rescue of the country from
destruction, awakened to the danger that awaits them
from the intention of Sir Robert Peel to put off the con-
sideration of the corn duties till next year."

MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE.
Sixty vessels, laden with wheat, have been entered at
the Plymouth Custom-house, from the Ist to the 20th
Sept. inst., averaging 60 tons ; the great majority are
from France, a few from Jersey. The duty now is only
is. a quarter; a month since it was 235. Bd.
The glove-trade of Yeovil has been improving the
last few weeks, and the distressed glovers somewhat re-
lieved thereby.
The whole line of railroad between Strasburg and
Bale was opened on Sunday last.
The _Salmon Fishery has now closed north of the
Tweed, and has been comparatively productive.

COMMERCIAL REFORM.
Anti-Corn- law meetings, since our last notice, have
taken place at Marylebone, St. George, Southwark, and
Old Brentford, and petitions adopted tor signature to the
Queen.

On reference to The Sun's report of yesterday's pro-
ceedings at the Court of Common Council, it will be
seen that the City are resolved on petitioning her Ma-
jesty to urge the question of the Corn-laws in Parlia-
Out before prorogation.
