We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.

The trial of General CUBIERES and his co-accused
occupied the attention of the Court of Peers on Sa-
turday. The general opinion is that General
CUBIERES has been the dupe of others. M. TESTE,
against whom the evidence presses very hard, defends
himself with much energy; his defence, however,
turns rather upon technicalities than upon facts.

It was rumoured in Paris that M. PELLAPRA would
surrender to take his trial ; this report, however, did
not gain much credit. The Prince DE CIIIMAY, his
son-in-law, had, it was said, written to the Chan-
cellor that, in consequence of the turn which affairs
had taken, M. PELLAPRA would surrender, in order
to prove that, however amenable he might be to the
charge of corruption, there was no pretence for
charging him with swindling. At present General
CUMERES declares that M. PELLAPRA told him he
had given the 100,000 francs to M. TESTE, while
M. TESTE denies the receipt of the money.

The Moniker publishes a return of the grain
imported into France since the Ist of July,
1846. The total amount is 8,833,284 hectolitres, the
whole of which was imported in the course of the
first five months of the present year, with the excep-
tion of 2,542,229 hectolitres imported between the
Ist of July and the end of December, 1846.
The Echo Agricok mentions that the accounts of
the crops received from all the departments of
France continue to be satisfactory. Little was done
on the Paris market on Saturday. Flour sold from
92f. to 103 f. per sack, according to its quality. At
Rouen the price of wheat fell 7f. per hectolitre on
Friday. In several districts of the west the di-
minution amounted to 10f. At Rennes the hecto-
litre sold for 21f. and 22f, and at Lyons for 25f.
The workmen of Thann tumultuously assembled on
the principal square of the town in the evening of the
29th ult., and parties traversed the streets, threatening
to plunder the bakers' shops, which were instantly
closed. The next day, however, a considerable re-
duction having taken place in the price of bread,
order was completely restored.
Accounts have been received at Havre from Goree,
which state that several French missionaries have
been arrested by an African chief who calls himself
King of CAYOR.

There was a report on Sunday that M. SMILE DE
GIRARDIN had sold La Presse.

There was little or nothing doing in the Funds
in Paris on Sunday. The Three per Cents. were
quoted at 77f. 60c., having recovered from the panic
created after the close of business on the Bourse on
Saturday, by a rumour that the KING had had an
attack of apoplexy.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—Last evening, at a little
after seven o'clock, while the dray men of Messrs. Tru-
man, Hanbury, and Co., were delivering beer at the
Swan public-house, Kingsland-road, a fine boy, about
four and a half years old (son of a gardener in humble
circumstances, Derby-road), by some means or other
got crushed under one of the large butts, as it Was being
removed from the dray. He was at once removed to a
neighbouring surgeon's, but before he reached the house
he had breathed his last. The distress of his poor
parents, who, with the other members of the family,
were soon on the spot, was heartrending. The dray-
man was at once taken into custody to await the issue of
the coroner's inquest. Whatever may be the verdict of
the jury as to the guilt or innocence of the man, it is to
be hoped that they will append to it a recommenda-
tion that the present mode of sliding casks from off the
drays be done away with, and some other one adopted,
as it is often attended with no little difficulty to escape
an accident from the slovenly manner in which these
heavy butts are slung and slid from the drays.
ENGLISH SCENERY—THE GREEN BUSHES.—EIihu
Burritt, in one of his recent letters from England,
speaking of the peculiar beauty of the landscape scenery
in this country, says:—" But the most distinguished and
interesting feature of all is the evergreen hedges. The
soft and luxuriant verdure of the fields, reposing in the
valleys, or curving gracefully round the gentle sloping
hills, and ivy-netted cottages and churches of the olden
time, and the golden wheat fields, overrun with the
e
dancing waves of sunlight,dge.l
