NEWS FROM INDIA.  By the last mail we have received Bombay papers to the 23rd ult. The Thnes of India says: A Bengal native paper says that next year will probably see changes in high places throughout India. The additional year given to Sir Henry Davies, LieutenantGovernor of the Punjab, will, we believe, expire in March next, and probably he will be succeeded by Sir Lewis Polly or Mi. Atchison. The time of Sir Philip Wodehouse, we believe, will also be up. Sir William Muir goes in November next, but we have not heard who will succeed him. Sir John Strachey goes home immediately, as he is suffering from an affection of the eyes. Colonel Macaulay, the commandant of the sth Native Infantry Grenadiers, says a Madras contemporary, put an end to his life at eight p.m. on the 14th inst. at Bangalore, by throwing himself across the line of railway as the train was passing the 215th , mile. It seems that while absent on privilege leave matters in the regiment went somewhat wrong, and on his return to duty in a feeble state of health he was, wo believe, given to understand that it was desired he should take furlough, as it was not thought prudent he should resume the command for the present. This preyed very much on his mind. Recently the B. I. S. N. ship Java put in at Aden, having on board ten "military insanes." We are well ! assured that the only guard for these poor fellows was , a single private, who had himself been insane only six months before. This arrangement gives scope to very lively proceedings during the voyage from Bombay, and did not conduce to the comfort of the other passengers on board. The Resident at Aden took the sensible step of putting two sound headed soldiers on board to escort the melancholy party to England. There has lately occurred in Allababad a case which brought the Vedic superstitions and the Penal Code into amusing contact. A Brahman of the Brahmans desired something of his adversary—a debt, a concession, or what not. His importunities being of no avail, he at last avowed his intention of sitting in Marna at the door of the other, until his demand should be complied with, or Heaven should release him from his sufferings and cast the blood of the holy upon the head of the obdurate. The operation becoming tedious after a time and the unreasonable one being still hardened in his unreason, the thrice-born leapt into the village well. Seized, doubtless, with terror and remorse, his opponent rushed forth to the mouth of the well. With hands clasped and contrite tones, he besought his injured victim to avail himself of the ready rope thrown down to save him. At last the holy man consented, his whilom enemy caught him gladly when he landed, and made him over to the police on a charge of attempting to commit suicide. We hear on good authority that Mr. Ney Elias, the traveller, is about to return to England. The information which he acquired during his famous tour through the most unfrequented parts of China would doubtless be most valuable to Government should any warlike complications arise out of the present mission. His journey through Siberia alone, and by an entirely new track, is among the most wonderful feats of modern travel.  A telegram from Secunderabad, dated June 22, says Major Godwin, of the 2nd battalion 16th Regiment, shot himself last night. lie had just returned from the Hills suffering from fever. No reason is assigned for this rash act. Captain Boyden, while out shooting on the 18th near Simla, was no severely mauled by a tiger that he died the day after. Mr. A. Raitt died at Khundwalt last week from a similar cause. An entente occurred among the prisoners in the Lucknow Central Gaol on the 16th. The rising was quelled without loss of life.
