CORN TRADE.

All is up in this market. Navigation on the canals
having closed and shut in upwards of one hundred
thousand barrels of flour, holders in this city and
elsewhere have run the price up to $5 00, and pro-
bably a fraction more to-day.
STATE OF TRADE.

The foreign freights appear to be improving both
here and at the south. In this city the rates rule at
id. for cotton, to Liverpool in square bales, and id. in
round ; Turpentine and flour Is. 6d. to ls. 9d. per brl.
To London : Cotton 3s. Sd. ; Flour and naval stores,
2s. 6d. per barrel.
COTTON TRADE.
The market is heavy, and prices continue a down-
ward tendency in nearly all the leading ports. The
receipts continue very large, and the excess over the
receipts of the last year continues to increase.

The accounts from Madrid are to the 14th inst.
The Gazette contains a dispatch, stating that
the REGENT still remained at Sarria. It was
generally believed in the capital, that the Cortes
would be re-opened on his return, when the
state of the country, and the late insurrection at
Barcelona, would form interesting subjects of
discussion. The Opposition papers, but espe-
cially those in the pay of CHRISTINA, continue their
rabid attacks upon ESPARTERO.. The Paris papers
are bad enough, but fall far short of the violence
and abuse of one or two Madrid journals. We
give the following as a specimen, taken from a
paper in the interestof the CX-QUEEN REGENT :
° When we hear the panegyrics with which the
Ministerial journals celebrate the victory which Ge-
neral Espartero has obtained over Barcelona, we re-
tire in affright from the contemplation of a spectacle
the most horrible to our mental vision—the spectacle
of a Spanish General throwing 800 bombshells into
the second city in Spain ! Robespierre—the ferocious
Robespierre—the tribune Robespierre—the revolu-
tionary Robespierre, when he sent Hebert and Chau-
mette to the guillotine as disturbers,' also invoked
the name of • public order,' and he also found flat-
terers to maintain that the cause of public order had
no warmer defender nor more virtuous upholder than
himself.

" Notwithstanding, the figure of Robespierre is a
noble one when viewed in comparison with the bloody
spectre of the bombarder of Barcelona. Robespierre
represented the public order of the revolution,
because he represented a revolutionary State. Robes-
pierre represented a great party, because he re-
presented all the interests then compromised in the
struggle which France sustained against the whole
of Europe. The victims of Robespierre were not
personal sacrifices to his ambition ; they were immo-
lated in support of the existing state of things. The
spectre of Montjuich represents nothing but his un-
bounded egotism. All the victims, all the disasters,
are holocausts to himself and his savage ambition. Of
all the tyrants, of all the dictators, of all the monsters
that history presents to us in the three last centuries,
there is none that does not represent a course or a
principle, an order of ideas or a union of interests.
The General of the 3d of December alone presents
himself to us on the heights of Montjuich as a pirate
in his vessel, exercising his dominion in the solitude
of the ocean, without other rule or law than his
proper thirst of pillage. It would be a sacrilegious
outrage against the principle of public order to sup-
pose it could influence the actions of a monster, in
whose heart it never found a place. Let the words be
blotted out otthe impious adulations of those who so
sacrilegiously profane them I"
The Three per Cents. were done at 21 15-16 at
60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 261 5-16 I, at
60 days.

The rational and peaceful view of the relations
between France and Spain taken by the Paris
journals, in the interest both of M. GUIZOT and
M. TRIERS, holds out, strong hopes that peace
will not be disturbed. The Debats and the
Presse represent the feelings of the Court and
the late QUEEN REGENT; but the Court does not
govern the Chambers, and would possess very
little power indeed if opposed to the two chief
leading statesmen of France. We published
yesterday the sentiments of M. GUIZOT, as given
in the Paris Globe, and here subjoin those of his
rival on this important question :—" We trust,"
says the Constitutionnel, " that our amicable re-
lations with Spain will not be interrupted by the
late events at Barcelona, for a rupture between
France and Spain would be truly deplorable. A
war between the two countries would be impious,
and those only who hate our Government, and
reprobate the revolution by which it was estab-
lished, can possibly desire it. We do not
mean to speak of the dangers of such a
war, which would certainly bring England
into the lists. France is not accustomed to
entertain such considerations, and, should her
interests or her honour be in question, no
thought of danger would deter her from drawing
her sword. But Spain as now constituted, is the
daughter of our revolution—interests, principles,
traditions, all attach us to her—even the recol-
lection of the injuries we have done to her. The
inevitable result of a conflict would be an eternal
alienation, and would place her under the vas-
salage—both commercial and political of England.
The losses, which she and France would sustain,
must be converted into profit by England. This
is evident to all common understandings, and
will be the more easily comprehended in France,
as no animosities exist against Spain to per-
vert
the judgment of this country, and the peo-
ple of both have a sympathy towards each
other. We, therefore, ardently hope that the
serious differences which have arisen be-
tween the two Governments may be pacifically
settled to their mutual satisfaction. We lay
aside all that has been written by the journals.
Happily the two Governments are not called
upon to adopt their recriminations; but there
are, in certain official acts, insinuations against
France so full of malevolence, that the honour
of the Spanish Government cannot fail to induce
it to disavow them. The REGENT and his coun-
sellors are now fully acquainted with the facts;
and, now that the passions are beginning to calm
down, it will be easy for them to recognise that
the vituperations of M. GUTTIEREZ are as inju-
rious to Spain as they are serviceable to Eng-
land. If the marked disapprobation of the
Spanish Government should deprive these acts
of what might compromise the good under-
standing between the two countries, all would
not be settled ; but the question would
not be further complicated than by the
faults committed by our own Ministers. We
have repeatedly pointed out these faults,
and, until a different line of conduct be adopted,
we shall unweariedly call the solicitude of the
country to the dangers to which it is exposed by
the policy of the Ministry. Since the occur-
rence of October 29, everything has been done in
France to wound the feelings of Spain, and de-
stroy our influence at Madrid. M. GUIZOT
wished to induce the Chamber to cast upon the
Spanish Government the odium of anarchy, and,
although he did not succeed, although the Cham-
ber resisted the passionate appeal of the Minis-
ter, the impression made at Madrid by such
conduct has been no less deep, for it was in the
name of the Cabinet, it was as an influential Minis-
ter, that M. GUIZOT brought forward his ill-ad-
vised censure. As it' to add to this wrong act,
M. GUIZOT raised a ridiculous question on a mere
point of etiquette, which he maintained with gra-
vity, thus creating a senseless dispute, which could
have no other object than that of personally
insulting the man whom the Spanish nation had
placed at its head. All these faults have been
taken advantage of, and the natural conse-
quences have ensued. The sympathy of the
Spanish Government has been diverted from
France, arid turned towards England. Fortu-
nately this evil is not without remedy, and the
debates about to be entered upon in the Cham-
bers may avert its consequences. The existence
of the Ministry will be attacked even by men
who have hitherto given it their support. Let
this be well reflected upon by the Chamber,
which does not desire that France lose the allies
left to her, and which has rio prejudices against
Spain. W hat the present Cabinet is too impotent
to effect, a new Cabinet may accomplish with
ease. This is true not only with regard to Spain,
but as to England—as to all Europe—towards
whom M. GUIZOT has found the art of placing
himself on time worst footing by reducing himself
to a mere nullity."

It is always with much satisfaction that we
observe in any of the French papers friendly,
or even impartial, remarks in regard to the
affairs of England and the policy of her Govern-
ment. We have had occasion to animadvert in
strong terms on the violent articles which have
abounded lately in most of the Opposition
journals, from a firm conviction that their
object was a breach between England and
rrance, and that the war would only entail
great suffering, and cause great loss of life and
property, without in any degree benefiting
either country. What did France or England
gai❑ by the long and afflicting war which
tifflowed the French Revolution ? Only
glory. Both could boast of great victories
—the greatest of modern, and perhaps also
of ancient times; but these were purchased
by the sacrifice of millions of human beings, by
an enormous increase of debt, which still presses
heavily on every Frenchman and Englishman ;
and when peace came they found themselves,
like two mad combatants of equal strength,
in the very same position in which they
commenced the bloody contest. Is there any
rational ground for believing that different re-
sults would follow another war? France cannot
conquer the English fleet, and England can
make no impression upon the French army.
Both these facts, we believe, even the writers who
display such animosity to England admit ; and
what madness, then, to urge on a war which can
have no earthly object but the barbarous gratifi-
cation of national antipathies? M. GUIZOT and
11. THIERS, therefore, deserve the gratitude of
Europe for the just and moderate opinions they
display respecting the misunderstanding between
France and Spain. They know that a war
between the two countries, would, sooner or later,
involve the whole of Europe ; and, however
anxious they may be to pay court to their
Sovereign, and favour his well-known views re-
specting the marriage of the young Queen of
SPAIN, they have too much judgment and inde-
pendence, let us hope, to sacrifice the interests
of their country in such a bad cause. They
know, too, that a war made upon Spain, in her
present helpless state, would rouse the indigna-
tion of Europe; while, at the same time, it
could not effect the main object in view, and
to a certainty alienate from France, more
than ever, the feelings of die Spanish nation.
It is altogether a hopeless and a dangerous
project ; and we trust the Conservative
party, or rather the Court party, will not be de-
ceived by the support offered by certain
journals, in other respects at utter hos-
tility with the Government. The ob-
ject of these probably is two-fold, yet
intimately connected—a war with England,
and the downfal of the ORLEANS dynasty. Can
these journals join cordially with a Government
that would put down Liberal institutions in
Spain, while they denounce it for arbitrary and
despotic conduct towards their own country ?

It is said that a prophet has no honour in his
own country; but that saying, like all general
rules, has an exception, and a very remarkable
one has taken place in our own times—that
of a man who has conferred honour on
human nature, and been a source of com-
fort and joy to many a hapless individual
—that man is Dr. TURNBULL. In another
part of the paper we have inserted, from
the Lancet and Medical Gazette—sources which
ought to be competent to appreciate the value of
his discoveries—some additional proofs of Dr.
TURNBULL'S unwearied and successful labours in
the wide field ofmedical improvement ; and, like all
men of true genius, our friend has taken Nature
fbr his guide. Acting on the impulse of his own
creative, yet reflecting, mind, he has chalked
out a new line for himself, by daring to be ori-
ginal—that is, having the good sense, in his en-
deavours to cure or alleviate the infirmities inci-
dent to our species, to go to the fountain head.
Discarding the affected mystery of the profes-
sion, with many of whom mystery is their salva-
tion, he has culled the seeds of science from
the only infallible source—Nature. But be
goes further : he publishes the results of
his labours to the world, and modestly
asks if he be right in his conclusions!
This is spontaneous generosity, and worthy
of the mind that can so freely labour
for the good of others. For ourselves, we
do not pretend to be competent judges of the full
value of Dr. TURNBULL'S discoveries—but, as
seeing is believing, we humbly think that—
" When those who came to scoff remained to praise"—
and that too among his own profession—not al-
ways the most generous in according merit
where merit is due, we think we may take some
credit to ourselves for having done Dr. TURN-
BULL justice in The Sun last year. We then

Another instance of the bad faith on the part
of those interested in exciting bad feelings to-
wards Spain has just been discovered. On
Tuesday it was stated in the Moniteur that
eighty_fi‘ c individuals sentenced to death at
Barcelona had been shot. This paragraph was
copied into the other Paris papers, and as might
be supposed caused a great sensation. It is now
admitted that a gross error had been committed
in copying the account from a Barcelona journal,
in which it was distinctly stated, that only
thirteen persons had been shot.
The Pliare des Pyrenees contains the following

We copy the following extracts from the Corn-

merce :
The Constitutionnel said yesterday morning that
there would not be a Royal sitting at the re-openino
of' the session. We believe that it is mistaken 31.
Guizot says openly that he will enter on the contest
in the addresS, and resolve all questions before pro-
ceeding with the session. We are even assured that
orders have been given to the keepers of the wardrobe
to arrange the Chamber for a Royal sitting, and it is
not probable that the King will go to the Palais
Bourbon without delivering a speech. There will,
however, be no want of matter for discussion. Only
it, is to be hoped that the Committee appointed to
draw up the address will not make the result of its
operations too long waited for.
