THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MO

you think he accounted for it ? 'Why,' says
smiling in my face, as if he was the happiest man in
the county, your Honour; I've had three months—
I've just come out of gaol.'"
"Now," continued the gentleman, "that is just
a specimen of the u-hole of those villagers; some may
be more discreet in their conduct ; some may live
better than others; but Lam sorry to say I can see no
difference. What are we to think of their condition,
when the dietary of the gaol improves them ? What
of their moral character, when they speak of the gaol
with an air of satisfaction ?"
That paragraph we borrow from " Notes from
the Farming Districts," published by the Morn-
ing Chronicle. After reading it, we must beg
pardon of the country- gentlemen for our stric-
tures. Such it appears is the condition of their
"bold peasantry—the country's pride "—that to
send them to prison is to improve both their
moral and physical condition. The Magistates,
therefore, commit so many of her Majesty's sub-
jects summarily to prison every year out of
mercy and kindness. At the same time it must
for them be a sad thing to be surrounded by mei
in so deplorable a condition that solitary impr'

sonnient and the tread-mill, with a fair share o
food, is a beneficial change.

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
France, 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
gain by the long and afflicting war which
followed 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
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 the Spanish nation.
It is altogether a hopeless and a dangerous
project ; and we trust the Conservative
party, or rather the Court party, will not he 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-tbld, 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 corn-
fort and joy to many a hapless individual
—that man is Dr. TURNBULL. In another
part of the paper we have inserted, front
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
for 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 he
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
spoke from our honest conviction, and we have
the high gratification to find that our anticipations
have been realised, by the success of his perse-
vering genius—and the according testimony
of his applauding rivals. This is in-
deed the very triumph of true desert; for the
man who has the honesty to applaud in an-
other that merit to which he aspires himself,
is only second to the object of his admiration.
Dr. TURNBULL deserves well of his fellow-men
—and we heartily wish him success,

The accounts from Madrid are to the 14th inst.
The Gazette contains a dispatch, stating that
wouldgenerallybelieved b e re-opened on his return, when the
state of the country, and
interestingth elate in sus rurbejce Lei
tosn
oa
ft
Barcelona, would form
discussion. The Opposition papers, but espe-
cially those in the pay ofCHRISTINA, 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 interest of the ex-QUEEN REGENT:—

" When we heac 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 nam 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 ill 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

my
that history presents to us in the three 1 es,
there is none that does not represent a r 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 of the impious adulations of those who so
sacrilegiously profane them !"
The Three per Cents. were done at 21 15-16 i, 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. GulzoT 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 us 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. GulzoT
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,if to add to this wrong act,
M. GUIZOT raised
that M. GuizoT brought forward his ill-ad-
vised censure. As
a ridiculous question on a mere
which he maintained with gra-
vpiotiyn,tt ofse
ctirqeuaetti
nt eg,.
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, and 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 no prejudices against
Spain. W hat the present Cabinet i 3 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. GulzoT has found the art of placing
himself on the worst footing by reducing himself
to a mere nullity."
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-five 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 Ivas distinctly stated, that only
thirteen persons Pad been shot.
The Phare des Pyrenees contains the following
extract of a letter from the frontiers of Spain
" BrigadiewMoreno de Las Penes, Colonel of the
Guadalajara Regiment, and who is now at Perpignan,
has
been condemned to death, apparently for having
figured on the list of members of the Consulting
Junta. Brigadier Castro, who returned to Spain a
few days back, has been arrested at Girona, and is
about to be tried. Orders have been given to shoot
Colonel Prim as soon as he shall be found. Our
countryman, M. Lefebvre, the victim of Zurbano's
brutalitg, has gone back to Barcelona on commercial
business. The Spanish Consul at Perpignan has re-
ceived orders not to deliver to any person, even to
women, passports for returning to Spain."
We copy the following extracts from the Com.
nzeree:—
The Constitutionnel said yesterday morning that
there would not be a Royal sitting at the re-opening
of the session. We believe that it is mistaken

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
that the Committee appointed to
draw up the address will not make the result of its
operations too long waited for.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
Money, which was plentiful in the morning, at
about 1 per cent., became rather more in demand this
afternoon, and as much as 3 per cent was paid in the
Stock Exchange for temporary accommodation. It
was said the Bear party were inclined to change their
accounts. The broker acting for the Government took
Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities to about the usual
amount at 948. Consols were 93f 93/1 for the open-
ing ; Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 101 to
108 ; and the Old Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1008
to 101. Bank Stock was steady at 172. The premium
on Exchequer Bills remained at 495. to 51s.
There were some symptoms of buoyancy in a few
of the Foreign Securities, but the transactions were
limited. The Five per Cent. Spanish Bonds were
marked 188 to 184-; and the Three per Cents. 231 to
238. Portuguese Converted Stock improved to 328
328. Mexican . dull at 31k. Brazil Bonds rose to
691 and 70. Dutch Five per Cents. were at 1008 to
1004.
The Shares were scarcely so well supported, and the
only bargains this afternoon were in the following
lines :—Edinburgh and Glasgow were 21 ; Brighton,'
14 ; Northern and Eastern, 9 ; North Midlamil,
Thirds, 1 ; and South Eastern and Dover Scrip, Jib
discount. London and Birmingham were 991 ; and
Paris and Rouen, 41 premium. London Joint Stock
Bank Shares were 3; ; London and Westminster, 18
to 2 ; and Provincial of Ireland, 184 premium. Co-
lonial Bank Shares were 51 discount.
Bills of Exchange on the principal Continental ci-
ties were in many instances quote at a slight ad-
vance this afternoon, being taken a ese rates :—On
Paris. at 25c. 921 c. to 954 c. ; Hamburgh at
13 111 4 ; on Frankfort at 1528 on Amsterdam,
at 12 6 ; on Antwerp at 12 54 ; and on Trieste at 10 1
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool was brisk yester-
day, and wore an improved aspect. Sales, 8,000
bales ; 1,000 bales American at 51d. to 51d. per
lb., being taken on speculation ; 1,200 bales
Surat, realising 31d. to 41d.; 200 Maranham at
sd. to 6d.; 300 Peruvian, 68d. to 61d.; 20 Egyptian,
61d., and the rest American for actual consumption at
4(1. to 7d. per lb. Prices were steady, and the better
qualities were scarce, and a shade dearer. The Rail-
way Shares were dull. Bristol and Exeter were 48;
Eastern. Counties, 8i; Grand Junction, Half, 934;
Great Western, Half; 631 ; Birmingham, 188. ; and
Paris and Rouen, 24.
Accounts from the Mauritius of the 17th of Sept.
report rather favourably of trade. The sugars of the
new crop had arrived but slowly, however, in con-
sequence of the mills not having commenced work.
The sales amounted to 1,646 bags at 7 dollars 25
cents to 8 dollars 5 cents per 1001bs. Gold and
silver coins are reported to be very scarce, and
daily growing more so, while there was a difficulty in
procuring bills on India, and which had caused recent
remittances of specie to Pondicherry. The organs
representing the interests of the planters complain of
the taxation to which they are subject as being very
burdensome.
The packet-ship Europe, which will bring rather
later advices from America, is announced as having ar-
rived off Liverpool, but we have no papers in town yet.
It appears that the British American Association
has been endeavouring to set its house in order since
the late Lord Mayor's exertions to expose the
mal-administration of its affairs : and we may
notice, as a satisfactory feature in the busi-
ness, that Sir John Pirie himself had been

prevailed upon by Dr. Rolph, the Government
emigration agent not long since arrived from Canada,
to form one of a Committee of inquiry into the whole
proceedings of the Association with a view to ascer-
tain whether the objects were good or bad, what the
defect has been in carrying out those objects,
and who are the parties to blame. If our
information be correct, the concern will be
remodelled, supposing the Committee's report to prove
favourable, and some of the more scheming members
who have hurried on its plans, in the absence of the
leading Patrons and Directors, will he requested to
withdraw, while the Duke of Argyle will re-
sume his connexion with the concern, in
addition to several other influential Noblemen not
before associated in it. A public meeting is now in
progress at the London Tavern to receive the Com-
mittee's report, and as it is open to all, there will be a
better chance of arriving at the truth than was the
case under the closed-door system, pursuel in the ab-
sence of Dr. Rolph, and when, even the press was
excluded.

The public securities have been very quiet to-day,
but are rather firmer. Money is reported to be as
easy as could be wished in the general discount market.
Red u cedTh ree- an d-a-Hal fper Cents. have been marked

101 to 1018, the Three per Cents. 944 to 948, and the
Old Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities, 100 i.
Bank Stock has been dull at 172. Exchequer BEls
are 495. to 51s. premium ; and the Canada Guaranteed
Debentures Ito 1 premium. _
The Foreign Stocks continue heavy. Spanish Ac-
tives have been marked 188 to 18k, and the Three
per Cents. 234. The Portuguese Converted Bonds
are firm at 324, and the Three per Cents. 23. For
Mexican Stock the rate is 3a, and for Brazilian 694,

-.•
both being dull. Dutch Five per Cents. have been
1004 to 1001.
For Railway Shares the quotations have been
nearly the same, but with very little doing. Edin-
burgh and Glasgow were 21, and South Western,
Scrip, 3i discount. Great Western were 241, the
New, 134, the Fifths, 41 ; the Birmingham, 99 to
99i-; and the Paris and Rouen, 44 premium.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, DEC. 22.—We
have had a little more business doing to-day, but at
rather declining prices :—South 'Western, 61/; Man-
che:4er and Birmingham, 191; Sheffield and Man-
chester, 31i ; Havre and Rouen, 2i ; Paris and
Rouen, 24i.

AMERICAN NEWS

By the packet-ship Europe,,CAptain Marshall,
Which. left New York on the Ist inst., We. have.
. received papers of that day, being one day later
than those received by the steamer Acadia, They
do not contain news of any interest to the
English reader. The President's Message was
to be delivered on the 6th inst... It was ex-
Pected to contain some strong views on the
,object of existing difficulties between Mexico
and Texas, and a recommendation of still stronger
measures,
.in case. our "ending claims: against
the former Goternmon' t should not be imme-
diately adjusted. Instructions, it is
,understood,
have been forwarded to the American Minister
at Mexico, to bring matters at once to
a crisis, and to make a last and. formal.
`lernand upon that Government for' the
settlement of the claims of the United States
,against it; and' it •is in expectation that this
uernand will prove unsuccessful, and give
rise to some hostile rnoverndnt on . the.
Part of Santa Anna, that. the United States Go-
vernment has ordered 'a naval' force to sail for
the Mexican sea-board, to protect commerce in
that quarter.

MONEY MARKET.

Transactions at the stock board were not large to-
fly, but at generally former rates; Ohio 6's declined
t• Mohawk rose 1 per cent.
Money ,continues quite plenty, and loans have
been had .at five per cent. There is yet no
movement in business which creates a de-
nland for capital to any great extent. .. The
Specie which. flows from this city to the south-
west, tbr operations in produce, has been pretty
well su-pplied,by receipts from other quarters, and has
!1(4 yet, reduced the capital seeking employment to an
1111portant extent. The exchanges have been a little
more firm, but notwithstanding that a large amount
of specie is on its way to, this country, they' show
sPuptams of a.downward tendency.
A large amount of specie has, already been re-
°ived from abroad, yet both here and at the south
rtes continue .to fall. The large sum, nearly
?3,000,000, sent, from New York .south has raised
cne:rates between here and the south, but they are
far from firm.

CORN TRADE. '
, All is up in this market, Navigation on the canals
Ntving closed, and shut in upwards of ore hundred
thousand barrels of flour, holders in this city and
'elsewhere have run the price up to V 00, and,pro-
/
',ably 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 Is. 9d. per brl.
,-!-0 London : Cotton 3s. Sd. ; Flour and naval stores,
2s. 6d. per barrel.
COTTON TRADE.

The market is heavy, and prices coniinue a down-
'ward tendency in nearly all the leading‘ pOrts. The
" 4'eceipts continue very large, and the excess over the
receipts of the last year continues to increase.

Since the death of Stieglitz, the King has no confi-

Public conduct are too deeply impressed in the hearts
