IMPORTANT FROM INDIA.

[From the Sydney Herald of the 9th December.] Singapore papers to the 15th September, containing news from Calcutta, to the middle of August, arrived last night.' After remaining quietly at Jellalabad for several months, General Pollock had at length been ordered to march on Cabul (positive instructions to that effect having been received by Lord Ellenborough in the mail which left England in July), where lie was to be met on the Ist of September by a large body of troops under General Nott, who was marching to the same place from the Candahar side. Several ! offers had been made by Akbar Khan to release bis prisoners, upon condition that his father, Dost Mahomed, was given up, and the British troops quitted Afghanistan, which, of course, could not be listened to. Letters from Lady Sale and the other prisoners described them as being well I treated, being allowed the use of a large garden attached to the fort in which they were detained. A war tax of five per cent, on all salaries above one hundred rupees per month, it war understood, would be leried. The next mail from India (and a vessel from Calcutta may be expected to arrive very shortly) will, doubtless, bring information of the junction of the whole of the Afghanistan army at CsJraL
