Wednesday next, the 7th instant, is definitively
fixed for the trial of General CUBIERES and his pre-
sumed accomplices. As the acte cr accusation was
transmitted to the four individuals accused on the
Thursday by the Court of Peers, and as the custo-
mary time permitted them by the law before they are
compelled to plead is the interval of five days, the
trial must positively be delayed until Wednesday.

The second ballot for the three candidates for the
fourth arrondissement of Paris has been as unproduc-
tive of a termination to the contest as the preceding
one. According to the pre-announced arrangement
that second ballotting took place on Wednesday, the
number of votes being 843—fifteen less than on the
foregoing afternoon. M. FLANDIN having retired
as we announced yesterday, the ballotting was as
follows : 369 for M. MALGAIGNE fifty-two
more than on Tuesday-258 for M. BERTRAND—
t wenty-nine more than on Tuesday; and 214 for
M. HORACE SAY —being only seventeen more than
on Tuesday. M. SAY had consequently retired. A
third ballot between the two remaining candidates
had taken place on Thursday, but the result was not
declared before the departure of our dispatches.

The debate in the Chamber of Peers was continued
on Wednesday, on the Medical Reform Bill, and
would possibly be brought to a conclusion on Friday.
It is stated that the following are among the most
remarkable and conspicuous provisions of the Paris
and Chartres Railway Bill, as corrected by the Com-
mittee :—lt authorises the Minister of Public Works
to regulate in the following manner the repayment of
the loan of five millions made by the State to the
Versailles (Left Bank) Railway Company. To that
amount of capital will he added the interest on that
sum at 4 per cent. from the day when the money was
paid until the promulgation of the present Bill ;
likewise the interest at 3 per cent. on the new
capital, from the promulgation of the present Bill
to the opening of the Chartres line, and three years
afterwards. The total thus formed shall be paid
back to the State with 3 per cent. interest, in
60 equal annual payments, from the period just stated.
This regulation, however, cannot be consented to
until after the union of the two Versailles companies
on the basis already determined on. The companies,
when united, are to lay down the iron way on
the Versailles to Chartres line, and to purchase the
working stock. Until Feb. 1, 1848, the Minister of
Public Works is authorised to concede direct to the
two Versailles companies united the Versailles to
Rennes Railway, with branch lines from Le Mans
to Caen, and from Chartres to Alencon, in c,:n-
forrnity with the provisions of the Bill of June 21,
1846, with, however, the following modifications:—
'That tha concessions shall not exceed 75 years
for both the main lines and the branches ; and
that in case the part of the Paris to Caen be-
tween Caen and Mezidon shall not be completed
when the earthworks of the branch line between
Le Mans and Mezidon shall have been finished, the
company may execute it of itself, under the surveil-
lance of the Government engineers, ani shall reap all
the benefit of the working until it shall have been
paid back by the Caen Company the money so laid
out. The length of concession of the Versailles line
is to be reduced to the term fixed for the Versailles
to Rennes line, without, however, going under
seventy-five years from the period of the line between
Versailles and Chartres being fully at work.
" At the departure of the mail from Oran," says
the Moniteur Algirean of the 25th ult., " news had
been received of a check given by ABD-EL-KADER
to the farce sent against him by the Emperor of
Morocco. The next mail will no doubt bring us
the details of this sad event, and of the degree of its
Importance. There are as usual many contradictory
reports on the subject; one version even states that
the Morocco troops had the victory. Be the fact
what it may, every precaution has been taken to pre-
vent such events from being felt in the province of
Oran." Otherwise the intelligence from Algeria is of
trifling importance.
