SCINDE.

We regret to amiounce that a serious accident
befel Brigadier Blood at Kurrachee on the 28th of
February. He was thrown from his carriage, and
fractured one of his arms.
Brigadier has suffered much Since the accident the
pain, but is doing as
well as could be expected.
THE CHEIF
OF JUMKTIUNDEE.
This chief, who had long been confined for par-
ticipating in the insurrectionary movements of the
Southern Mahratta country, has been released, and
is now at Belgaum. Although the Government of
Lord Elphinstone have no doubt whatever of his
guilt, they have thought it better to bring the case
of the Rajah of Junikhundee under the clause of
the amnesty. The result has been, however, an
t of the chief's friends, who affect
outcry on the 1.3 P.
to be highly indignant that he should not have
been tried, and who are loud in their declaration
of his innocence. The statements which appeared
to that effect
in some of the journals of this presi-
dency induced Mr. Lockett, the Assistant to the
Political Agent in the Southern Mahratta Country
without consultiug the Government here, to make

a public statement of the causes which led to te
chief's incarceration. Mr. Lockett took the chief
to this meeting in his own carriage, and addressing
the multitude from his seat, read a long address in
English, which was afterwards translated to the
people in Mahratta. It is impossible that so vast
a concourse can have heard Mr. Lockett's declara-
tion, and there is reason to believe that the majority
of those present, seeing the chief by Mr. Lockett's
side, conceived that the day's proceedings were in
honour, not in condemnation of that person.
LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.

Sir John Lawrenec, who left Lahore on the 25th
of February, arrived here in the Feroze on the
evening of the 9th, and is now a guest of Lord
Elphinstone, at Malabar Point. The Governor of
Goa, Viscount Torres Novas, had been previously a
visitor to the- Governor at Parell. His Excellency,
who is Governor of Goa, arrived at Bombay on the
6th inst., and left on the Bth for Damaun, to visit
the small settlement of Diu, respecting which cer-
tain long pending claims, in debate for some years,
'have at last been settled, much to the advantage of
Portugal, by Colonel Pope, deputed by the Govern-
ment to settle- the diipute. We are glad to be able
'to state that the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's steamer Mazagan, which had been out for
seven months, has at last arrived at Bombay, having
been towed hither from the neighbourhood of Cochin
by the Peninsular and Oriental. China steamer
Pekin. The Mazagan suffered severely from want
of water and provisions before it reached Cochin.
Symptoms are already visible of the usual break up
of our winter season. The Commander-in-Chief
goes to Mahableshwur on the 18th inst. Where
Lord Elphinstone will go for the heats is not yet
stated. Orders for the return home of her ,Ma-
jesty's 80th Regiment have, been issued by Lord.

POSTSCRIPT.
•
We learn from Indore, under date the Bth inst.,
that her Majesty's 86th arrived on that day. The
rebels are scattered in five or six separate parties,
some wanting to surrender and all disheartened*
They are now making towards Seronj, and if they
can only be brought or driven to collect together,
they will speedily be dealt with. We have a letter
from camp Seronj of the 3d instant, saying that
Colonel Rich's column left Goonah on the Ist and
arrived at Seronj on the 2d. The rebels were
within 20 miles, and immediate efforts were about
to be made to surround them.
