LATEST FROM INDIA. [From the Melbourne Morning Herald.]
By way of the Mauritius,^ we hare Indian intelligence to the 25th June ; being one month later than previous advice*.
The following »re the only interesting particulars we find worth extracting :—: — The Governor- General and Lord Gough were «t Simla, whither Sir C. Napier was last hastening. Sir W. Gomm reached Calcutta on the 4th June. The Bombay Times says if the resignation of Sir W. Cotton is accepted Sir W. Gomm is expected to he appointed Commander-in-Chlef at Bombay. " Sir William Gomm," continues the same journal, " is the youngest Lieut,- General on the army list — so little is thought of seniority at the Horse Guards when a friend is to be served." The trial of the Moolraj began on the 31st May, and was not terminated on the 6th June. The charges against him were : Ist. For the murder of Agnew and Anderson. 2nd. For being accessory before the fact. 3rd, For being accessory after the fact. The impression was that the evidence on the trial was favourable to the Moolraj. Lahore is said to be parcelled out into five divisions, namely, Lahore, Mooltan, Leia, Jbelum, and another. The Lahore division is to be subdivided into five, the Mooltan into three, the Leia into four, the Jhelum into four, and the last into two districts, which are for the present to remain under the immediate superintendence of the Beard of Administration. Lahore was flooded with strangers from every part. Sir Charles Napier was to be at Meerut on the 10th, Umbala on the 14th, and Kalka on the 15th, and will make Lahore his headquarters.
