INDIA.  We have received our letters and papers by the  steamer Benares.  (From the limes of India of June 28.) We hear that the Government of Bombay has received a telegram of a battle between Dost Alahomed and the Heratees. Nothing definite is known, but it is believed the Ameer has lost several chiefs of note.  News has been received from the Dost Mehomed's camp up to the 2d June, on which day the Ameer moved forward from Candahar to the banks of the Urghundab, a distance of about six or seven miles. The ruler of Herat is said to have recalled his son and brother from Subzwar to Herat, intending if  Furrah falls to hold only Herat in strength. Sirdars Mahomed Ameen Khan and Mahomed Shereef Khan expected to be before Furrah by the 7th or Bth of June,  On the sth June the Ameer's camp had reached Bagh Muzeer, four marches from Candahar. Sirdar Shere Allee Khan, tile heir apparent, had gone on to the river Helmund to push across the troops. The Heratees had evacuated the fort of Kush. The people of the Furrah had refused supplies to the garrison, and had sent messages to the Ameer's troops to hasten on to their relief. The rumours recently circulated by the North'West papers, as to the probability of a rising in Oude, are without foundation. The report that Feroze Shah is in Ahmed Jan's camp near Herat, is generally credited by the people. Defalcations to a considerable amount have been discovered in the office of the Collector of Income Tax at Bombay ; they have been traced to a native subordinate.  ~YSir Bartle Frere, it is said, intends to make Sattara again a military station, as before Sir George Clerk's time.  About £5,000, of which amount native merchants have given nearly £2,000, has been collected in Bombay for the operatives of Lancashire. The sup posed Nana, who was arrested some months ago at Kurrachee, has been released by order of the Government of India. The man has been proved to be a professional beggar. The Government of India has obtained trustworthy information that the movement of Sultan Ahmed Jan upon Candahar has not been made with the support of Persia, and has resolved not to interfere with Affghan politics. Ills Excellency Sir Hugh Rose is said to be preparing a report upon his recent tour on the Punjab and Scinde frontier.  An Englishman named Rudd has been sentenced to be hanged at Calcutta for shooting a native in the Punjab. Except an Irish soldier who was hanged in 1855 fur shooting a comrade, this will be the first instance of a European being executed in Calcutta since it became a British possession. A petition has been presented for the man's reprieve. The China mail, arrived here on the 19th June,  is said to have brought an urgent demand for troops to be sent from India, our small force at Shanghai being considered in a somewhat critical position. The Taipings have repulsed the allies with less, and killed the French Admiral (Protet). The public sale of the Banda and Kirwee Prize jewels commenced at Calcutta on the 3d June. The sale will occupy 15 days, and is estimated to yield little short of a million sterling. The Bhore Ghaut Railway Incline (G. I. P. Railway) will be opened for public traffic either in January or February next.  The ship Blue Jacket has been totally -wrecked on the Saugor bank at the mouth of the Hooghly. The Rao Saheb is to be tried at Delhi on charges of treason and the murder of British subjects,
