LATEST FROM INDIA . The subjoined telegram to the East India House was published last night : — » To Sir James Mellvill , East India House . " The garrison of Futtehpote , pressed by insurgents , has abandoned part of their entrenchments , and has taken up another and more secure position . « nof - _ n * « A column from Delhi , undet Colonel Seaton , attacked * body of insurgents at Gemgre [ Genowree ?] on aeieaieu
the Neetnuddy \? 1 Kiver , ana w «» , - " " one hundred and fifty , and taking three guns out of four . Three officers were killed and one wounded on our side . Brigadier Whitelock ' s column had arrived at Secunderabad on December 14 th , en route * ° * Saugor-The insurgents in the neighbourhood of Jubbulpore , were attacked on the 25 th of November by a detachment of the 47 th Native Infantry , without any decsive result . Reinforcements were advancing to Jubbulpore . " The Rajah of Amjheera and his Minister have been tried and sentenced to death . The minister has been h « T ™ d . The sentence on the Rajah awaits the
con-, Ormation of the Government of India . Other executions have also tattert p lace . Punjab , Scinde , and Bombay , all quiet . No further Bheol depredations are reported , and quiet prevails generally . " H . L . Anderson , Secretary to Government . " Bombay , Dec . 24 , 1857 . " Remarking on this , a contemporary calls the reader s attention to the fact that the telegraphic communication between Bombay nnd Bengal has been interrupted , ana observes that this may explain the absence of intelligence from Oade and Cawnpore . It is understood that Sir Colin Campbell has removed tne
General Windham from his command , and tnat woncral ' s offered resignation was peremptorily anticipated .

THE NEW GOVERNMENT FOB INDIA . As ottf- governing system is at present ; confatutedfthe danger is , that the East India Company may be abolished in favour of some admimstrative establishment at once lees efficient , more exclusive , and not so free from the practice of political jobbery . Two merits , at Last , the Company may claim . _ It has genethe .
rally promoted the best men to mguesL offices , and it is exempt , «» a body , iron * charges of corruption . The worst appointments ever made in India have been made by the Crown . The Directors have , of course , favoured their personal friends , and have bestowed their patronage , to some degree , upon ^ ^ rrf . nl fi of favourit is m , but it has never
, been their habitual policy to sacrifice to nepotism the interests of the empire . The Indian civil staff has been at all times one ot the most remarkable bodies of men in the world . Therefore , although prepared for change , we do not desire that public opinion should precipitately desire to transfer the government of India from the bands of the feomnany to that of the Crown . With the cneciHi
double machinery , we have certain ana guarantees ; and let us take care that xn framing a new system , influence is not substituted for responsibility , An immense Euror pean army is to be placed under a new jurisdiction ; and the country will make a bad bargain if it drives a scapegoat into the deslrt , and , at the same time , opens the door to the seven devils of the Peonage A , 1 YT n .,, n . ^ > , n-n A "Wli Tfc « rl fl . ll .

Now , really to place India under the control ot larliamenfc might be an excellent reform ; but it ia not improbable that , with Whiggery working in secret until the reopening of the session , the Legislature may aj discover
by storm , ana , ™ n « u •»«« J that , in sweeping away an eneumbrnnce , they have created a monopoly . Fot , it must be remembered , the Bast India Company , ia _ jao ~ longer _ ro .
