FRANCE. Tna indisposition under which the Prince-President suffers is described to be acute rheumatism in the legs. Regarding the election of General Cavaignac,, the Siecle, which is supposed to be the organ of thisil lustrious person, complains of the following insulting paragraph, which appears in the Public : "It is atfi:mcd that General Cavaignac will only pre sent himself to refuse taking the oath, and to protes against the constitution. Let him try it, then. Let him, if he will, descend from the rank of deputy, to take the part of an insurgent, and chastisement will not long be delayed. A Government sprung from . universal suf frage dees not submit to rebellion, but it puts it down. It cannot suffer rebels, but strikes them. " Signed AMEDEE DE CESENA." To menace a man with chastisement who saved his country, observes the Siecle, goes beyond imagination. It is quite enough to quote such language to leave the public to deal with it. The Paine also throws out a menace of a more general character : "The only candidatures opposed to those of the Go vernment, and which have obtained a certain number of votes chiefly in Paris., are such as m a y b e regar d e d as personifying the revolutionary assent. This is a grave sympton, and shovis how much firmn ess an d v i gi l ance m u st still be e.T.:ercised by the G overnmen t o f L ou is Napoleon;,in order to complete his work of social pre servation. Boeher, ex -representative, and MM. Malzy and Dub;,ef, clerks of M. Bidault, appeared on Thurs day berore the Tribunal of Correctional Police, to take their trial f i r di s t r ib u ti ng p r i n t e d papers connected with the Orleans family, which did nor, as re quired by law, bear the name of the printer. M. "Hello, substit u t e o f t h e P rocureur o f the Republic, conducted the prosecution, and M. Odilon Barrot appeared for the defence. The tribunal, after deli beration which lasted two hours and a half, gave judgment, condemning the three defendants to a fine of 500 f. The court was much crowded. The Presse says It is said that a trial will shortly come on connected with the succession of the Duke;de Bourbon. The Duke had by his will appropriated the Chateau of Ecouen, with a dotation of 100,000 f. of Bente, to the education of the descendants of the Royalit soldiers of Vendde and Cone 6. In 1831, King ;Louis Philippe, with the advice of the Council of State, issued a decree annulling the legacy of the prince, on the ground that it was destined to remunerate services rendered to an anti-national cause. The parties having a right to the benefit of the special destination attributed to the chateau of Econen by the last will of the Duke de Bourbon, sons and grandsons of the Royalist soldiers of 1793, have now brought an action against the Duke d'Aumale before the Council of State, and the cause will be pleaded by M. Boaviel, advocate at the Court of Cessation, where he succeeded M. Ledru Rollin." The Pattie publishes the following as a telegraphic dispatch :—" The Bertholet has just left Brest with 400 seamen for Cherbourg." ITALY. The Etreatment wrii;h,l 3 oerio and his companions received on their journey from Ischia to Montefosco is worthy of Naples rule and Naples humanity. They were chained together during the whole of the journey, and not allowed to get out of their vehicles even for the most urgent reasons. On arriving at Avellino, a distance of twenty-seven miles from Naples, they prayed to be allowed to descend, but were told by their guards that they would willingly grant such a natural request, but their orders were very positive. On arriving, half-dead, at Montefosco, they found no beds or any necessary preparations, and were obliged to lie d own on th e b are s t one fl oor . M y information is derived from a gentleman who has just left the prison of Montefosco. Poerio is represented as suffering very much, and not likely to live long. Captain Nisco is rapidly sinking, and spits blood. The mother of Poerie is now perfectly out of her mind. CALCUTTA MARKETS. (From the Overland Star , Jan. 24). By the Bombay express and regular mail we were, on the 17th and 18th inst., put in possession of London dates up to the Bth December. The commercial intelli gence is again far from being of a cheering character, low prices for all East India produce continuing to charac terise the home markets, added to which the aspect of political affairs in France was very lowering. We have little change to report in the position of mer cantile affairs here; the comparatively low rates at which many of our staples have been procurable have tempted purchasers, and the quantity going forward is pretty well up to an average. in indigo large operations have taken place; still, however, principally for France and Gulphs, prices here being looked upon by English buyers as still too high, many parties here are of opinion that as soon as the continental demand is satisfied that prices will decline. In this opinion we do not now agree, as considerable shipments have been made, and more are in progress on planters' and agents' account; by this means the quantity available is considerably decreased, and it is reported that an English speculator has secured some 3,000 chests. Taking all this into account, we think that present prices will be main tained, and would not be surprised to see an advance towards the end of the season. Should this supposition prove correct very few of the Eaglish orders will be exe cuted, as the limits are considerably below our present market value. Sugar has been attracting more attention, and the quantity going forward is well up to an average, being 17,17,015 mds. against, in 1850, 14 26,483 nada Saltpetre shipments have latterly fallen off, and we do not think are likely to increase, as the prices ruling here, at present, cannot allow of its being laid down at home rates. Rico continues to attract the attention of shippers, but the total shipments of the past year show a marked falling (If, being 4,47,885 mds. against, in 1850, 7,40,077 mds. Corahs show a very great falling off, the quantity gone forward during the past year being only 3.46,689 pieces, against, in 1850, 5,42,259 pieces, and in 1849, 6,15,342 pieces. Exports of raw silk have fallen off considerably during the year, the total quantity being 13,570 mds. against 6,988 in 1850, and 16,664 mds. in 1849. Ia the position of other goods we Lave little change to notice, but any other which has taken place will be found under their respective heads. Our import market has at length begun to show some few symptoms of improvement, a better demand having been experiencel for most of our Manchester staples, and prices generally show a slight improvement. We are in hopes that now that matters in the bazaar are be coming settled, the lowest point has been past, and that the coming year will show a much more favourable re sult than the previous. All, however, now depends on shippers; if we are kept moderately supplied, prices will advance, but if we are glutted, as we were last year, no improvement can he looked for. Little change has taken place in our money market, the r a t es of interest and discount at the different banks continuing unchanged. In the bazaar matters have as sumed a more cheering aspect, and the general impres sion seems to be that the worst has passed.

THE NAVAL RESERVE. 'lO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—ln common with almost. every naval officer with whom I have conversed on the proposal of the late Go vernment respecting the " naval reserve," it has been almost a general feeling that although it is a step in the right direction, yet that it is not at all likely to supply that admitted want in time of actual emergency, when even a few hours might be of the moat vital importance, and I cannot believe any dependence could be placed in getting together any reasonable number of men (so circumstanced as those men would necessarily be, scattered in all directions, making voyages from port) so as to be available in a crisis, and even when scraped together from east, west, north, and south, it must take a considerable time for them to be brought into some sort of training, so as to act together and become ac quainted with their officers. I would, therefore, humbly suggest through the medium and influence of your pages—well knowing that the Herald has always taken a lively interest in all that concerns the well-being asd efficiency of our navy-.--that instead of the proposal of the late Board of Admiralty to have 5,000 seamen (on paper), that the present board, who are all practical men, and must see that no reliance could be placed on such a form of reserve, should at once secure and keep at our chief ports, 3,500 good seaman as they are paid off, and the remaining 1,500 men to be immediately recruited for the marines and marine artillery, and added to that most valauble corps, who are not only ready at a moment's notice, but who, being all trained to the great guns, and thoroughly disciplined in every re spect, are indeed a most important and valuable nucleus upon which to depend on the putting a ship in commis sion. Indeed, as a naval officer who has often found and witnessed their valauble services and gallant bearing, I feel, as I sm sure most of my blue-jacket brethren do, that we cannot have too many of them. It was, therefore, with regret that I lately saw pro mulgated an order to reduce the number of marines serving on board our ships. This, I suppose, was the suggestion of the miserable and unwise economy of the late Government to eke out the present number of men to the greatest length. for the satisfaction of their friends, Messrs. Cobden and Co.; but it is sincerely to be hop u l that, for the honour and welfare of our country and navy, that the present board, who know from experi ence their value, will keep in band our blue-jackets and marines (for ships we have more than enough), and then England need not fear the result. Regretting, Sir, that I should: have lengthened my few remarks to such an extent, and begging you will make such use of this as you think best, I am, your obedient servant, March 3, 1852.

BIRMINGHAM, MARCH 4.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets, on the 28th, there was a full supply of En g lish wheat, and the trade ruled dull; but the t urn i n p r i ce was in favour of the seller. Barley lid per quarter lower. Outs dull, and rather cheaper. Beans maintaine•l their value. Peas unaltered. During the present week there has again been a limited sale for wheat ; but as holders are firm, former prizes have been obtained on the few transactions reported. Barley fully as dear. The supply of beans i, barely equal to the demand. Oats taken in limited quantities, at our quota tions. At this day's market the trade ruled dull, and to make progress rather lower prices had to be submitted to ; but we make no alteration in our quotations. Barley Gd to is per quarter cheaper. Oats nominally unaltered. Beans is per quarter dearer. Peas realised the currency of this day se'nnight.

Many of the mills being upon short time, the steels are in moderate compass, but the manufacturers continue in n complain heavily o f profits, and are but little inclined to crease the production until prices are more rem unerative.
