Frew the evidecce of the prosecutor (which wax in. .
turreted by M. Albeit) it appeared that the wife of the
prisoner, who wad then in the penitentiary at Milbank,
win ra he had been sent for robbing the consul at Jersey,
went to the prosecutor for work, which ho gave her, at
the cllo, tune doing all he euuld to get her husband out

h..usekeeper, and on Thursday last she, fearing he would
do her some harm, left, and he took a room for her at
17, Panton-stree,, Haymarket ; Pince which the prisoner
had tried all he cou'd, by currospondence, to get her to

get to France.
The prosecutor said he would readily pay his passage.
The prisoner said if he would do so he was willing to

The prosecutor said ho would givo the money at once,

chili.

were assembled at the engineer's office, where the
pings, drawings, dzc., were displayed for inspection.
A lit Co after five o'clock the whole party, headed
by Mr. Fre, commissioner, moved off in procession,
preceded by the railway flag, bearing the device of
a locomotive. On the ground, a party of her Ma-
jebty's 51st Regiment formed a street to a trium-
phal arch, which was gaily decorated with flags,
flowers, and leaves. After passing through the arch,
Mr. Frere alighted from his carriage, and, accom-
panied by the agent to the &dude Railway and the
chief resident engineer, preceded by the Rev. Mr.
C.trr and the Rev. Mr. Coates, and fullowed by the
w hole assembly, went to the spot whore the sod was
to be turned, when a short service was performed by
the chaplains, after which Mr. Warren, the agent,
addressed Mr. Frere, and requested him to commence
the Scinde Railway, to which Mr. Frere replied in
an appropriate speech. He then pulled off his coat,
to up the spade, and, working with a right good
will, tilled the barrow, wheeled it off to a short dis-
tance and emptied it, when the band struck up the
national anthem, and the whole crowd joined in a
loud and long continued cheer ; immediately the
guns boomed forth a royal saluteend the ceremony
was concluded. The scene at Scandal Point was

guished the soldier, thecivilian, the high-turbaned
Parsee, the Hindoo, the Affghan, the Belooch, the
Seindee—in fact, all castes and classes ; vchicles of
every description, and horses, from the high-bred
Arab to the humble tat. Everything passed off
very quietly, and all parties returned home highly
delighted at the interesting scene they had wit-
nessed for the first time in Scinde. At seveL o'clock
about sixty gentlemen sat down to a splendid ban-
quet, provided at the 14th mess-house. —Bctnd
