The British land and Sra forces still remained 8 i Xznkis . The proceeding of the British armies in the neighbourhood of Cabal have been eminently sneortsfaJ .

On tie arrival of General Jfott'a division at Cabnl , the resolution adopted by the British G-vercment to destroy all the Affignan strongholds was carried into execution . An expeditionary c-. rps of about 4 000 men - was sent to demolish the strong forts of I ^ taiif and Char ; ekar . On the 29 th of Srptem > -er , General 3 I * Caskel and Brizadi » r 3 Tu ' .

This io-am consisted of masses of houses briilt on ice slope of the mountain , in the rear of ¦ which "were lofty ennnsEces shutting in a defile leading to Turkistsn . 1 hb nun-bsr of i's inhabitants exceeds 15 . 000 , who , from their defences and the difficulties of approach , considered their position uraEEailafcle . The great part of the piunder seized last Jjcuary from the Br itish wa 3 placed there , and the Chiefs kept their ¦ wives and fami . ie 3 in it , and many also of those who bad esaptd from Cabnl , Bought icfues there .

One of the duties performed by the British "was the interment of tie skeletons of those -who had fallen during the fatal retreat of January last . The numbtr did act exceed 400 or 506 . Several of these meJan-Choly remains WiJe recognisable- It is further stated , that very many of ti > e native soldiers and of the Hindoos who had accompsiiied the troops during the fatal retreat , havr- cjme into the British cantonments . On the 1 st of October , the Governor- General issued the proclamation from Simla , announcing the victories over the Aiyhans , and the intended evacuation of the country . Tise style , statements , and the principles of this irjporsnit proclamation , have beei : Tariousiy canvassed in India . The phraseology is stited to be suited rather to the Asiatic than European taste ; it cannot , however , fail to prove an impressive lesson te ali the native "Prihcps .
The Gaveraor-General has published several olher pKidiinations , aad among them are those which confer honours andmt irils , is ., on toe regiments emplcysd at Canaahar , Gta-. re . Cabnl . it One of these announces the termiaaUyn of it ? 'srer -Brith . China , and which direct the diitribntioa of medals and other his ^ ors to the Indian soliiers and sailors employed in that campaign . T&e retara cf the British armies from CabcJ to Peshawar was exptcte ? to begin about the loth of October . The destruction of Cabnl . and of the Bila Hissa , and £ lso of the fort of Jeiliiabad , had been ordered . An fcttempt w = s made by Fntteh Jung , the son of Schah £ > jojah . to place Lina-H on the throne of Cifcul at the time of tLe firing of the salute by the British troops on their colours beins helsted in the Bate Hiss ^ . B ^ t this ruse is said to avsii him little , and it was thought that be , i' . kfi his three b'oiiiers , and many adSerents of his family wonld have l ? Tctreat with the armiss , in order to lead a ps ^ c *^ ible life 23 pensiozaers on the t > ountr of the Hon . Comnanv .
It was not known bow the Affihans , whn have had experience of the r 6 s . ^ n ^ ion of the British G- ^ emmes i to avenge all acts of treachery , would conduct themselves curing the retrest of the troops from Card to Peshawur . The are described as highly incessed -with the Sikh soiaiers who 3 Cted as scx'lianes to tte British , and who during their prcj-ess into the Aff ^ oan conntry had indulged their propsasity for plunder to the utmost . It was stated that the Sikhs intended to retain pofisesaon of the Kfayber Pass , aad to maintain it agahut the irruption of the Afivhans . Of the Fr = rch Generals in the Sikh service , there are but two now in active employ . Tenmra was expected to arrive in India from France , while Avitabile and C ' . urt sencht to obtain leave of absence from " the Sikh Sloi-arch . Avitabile , who had governed Peshawur daring some years , was in the beginning of October refused any furlough except for one month , which was to Itasptnt at Lahore , and Court would not be allowed any leave of absence nnless he lrft his s ? n as ahostare for his rttnrn .
It appeared , therefore , that the Sikhs anticipated a . continuance of the war with the Affghans after the retirement of the British troops . This anticipation ia supposed to have contributed to the immediate formation of the camp of -reserve in Sirhind . Tha native festival called the Dassorah , -which took piace in October , had J > assfe « I over in Qaiet at Lahore . Gr 33 tpTepEraticn 5 were making there for the visit which the Governor- General of India wes about to make to Maharaja Shere Singh . In a special proclamation the Governor- Gsaeral had ordered that Mr . Cl ^ -rk , who had done sienal service as Political Ageat at Umballa , Ebould besppointed Envoy at the Conrt of Lahore , with the title of Excellency . " The Sikh leader , Z jrawar S . ngh , who had been defeated in his invasion of the Chinese territory tt Thibet , bad contrived to involve his Government by his njsxce ^ vres , and it would require some management to Settle the matters in dispute beiwetn the old British allies the SikhF . and the one lately formed in the Empire of China .
Bnt little difficulty appeared to be expected in the march of the British from Peshawur to India , for the months of Xovt-mber , December , and JairBary , are represented as healthful fi > r inarching through the Panjanb . Among the trophies which General Nott brings back to lEflia are the celebrated sandal-weod £ 3 te = -which a Hahometan conqueror had taken 8 Way from sa Irefli .-n temple , and which bad , durics : ueaTly e . ^ tt centuries , formed tfca chief omzmeni of his t- 'mb at GhT ^^ ee . VTha t will be their next destination remains unknown . The news of the rctiScation by the Chinese Emi > eror of the treaty of peace had reached India , and contributed to the general satisfaction- Trade wss'beginnine to experience the resnlts cf the general activity .
In the interior cf India tranquillity prevailed . The disturbances which threatened to create confusion in Bundeiktmd were , it was expected , about to cease , for all the inhabitants cf ev : Ty part of that continent , including « - « eii the dijsatis&ea ajjj bigotted iloslems , appeared impressed more thin ever with a conviction of British supr-ricriiy , &nA also of their total inabiuty to make any tff-ctual resista ^ ca . The Bombay troops Lai dismantled and abandoned Quetta , and retired to the banks of thelndus . The mountaineers had attacked some of the strollers in the Bewail pass , and killed Assistant-Snreeon Briciwell . ¦ tfh o , froza indjj = posiric > n , tras traTeiliag in a litter , and did not keep up -with the main body . A Conrt-martial -will , it is said , be holdsn on G = neral Sbelton and Colonel Palmer , abd four other cfScers , imnibdiately on their return to India .
The Governor-General and the Commander-in-chief ¦ were expected to leave Simla towards the end of October , in order to mee : the army of reserve and the other troops in the vicinity of the Satledge . The burning cf merchant shi p * rontiDued . The Jessy was consumed at Calcutta , and ihe Balvidera at Singapore . The Madras monsoon has been fsvonrs&le . Its effects ¦ were felt in heavy showers even at Bcmbty . The Company ' s sK > op Coote was struck iy lightning at foar o ' clock in the morning of the Slat oi October . Tbs damage -was not great .

LSAiaiNGTON . ^ The Chartists of this locality asB'jnibled to receive Mr . George White on his first visit here , which excited considerable interest , all being cnxious to judge for themselves of the character and abilities of a man who has been so much calumniated
and persecuted . Mr . DonaldEon being called to the chair , britfly addressed the meeting . Mr . White waa loudly cheered , and received the gratulatioiis of bis friends with a degree of manly calmness which , throughout his address , told well on the inquiring minds by which be was surrounded . Hs entered closeJy into the first principles of civilised society , and philosophically defined the nature of the social compact . He showed the rise and progress of our present aritocratic institutions , and the equivocal means by vshich the laws of God . of Nature , and of man , were basely parverted to the aggrandisement and false glory of a small section of the community , and by which the great muss ot mankind were redneed to ruin , degraded starvation , nakedness , and mieeiy . He glanced at the preprsterors anomaly of the picture of thia country .
Behoid on the one hand a nation teeming with wealth , our soil proverbial for its richness , our mines proverbial for wenlth , nnd our agricultural , manufacturing , and commercial resources unbounded ; in a word , behold the richest country under the sun , and behold on the other hand , the most industrious , skilful , and patient population of any nation in the ¦ world , sturvicg In millions , and destitute of the common necessaries of life . Now , he woald ask , could any man of common sense , embued with one spark of humanity , behold this awful Btate of the nation and not shudder withhorror at the Ettrocious system of class legislation vrhich . had produced this state of things , and at the moral turpitude of all those who sought to perpetuate the evil by hunting down and persecuting him and every
honest man in the country wh-9 dared to instruct the people , and show them the cause of their misery , and the only effectual means to cure it ? Mr . W .- explained the principles of the Chatter as the only means , in a sound , argumentative strain of peculiar , unaffected , native eloquence that completely carried the feelings of his auditory , which at the conclusion , waa manifested by a unanimous vote of thanks being passed from' the chair . A new Council and officers were elected , and several business-matters were transacted . The new Defence Fund lottery scheme was fully arranged . There are sis prz-ss , and the tickets are 6 d . each . Every particular may be explained by appplication to Mr . Stanley , L ^ . smington , or Mr . Donaldson , Chapel-street , Warwick .
GLASGOW . —At a numerous meeting of the Directors of the GJasgo b- Charter Asssciation , held on Friday evening , Mr . J . Turner in the chair , on the motion of Mr . Grahame , seeonded by Mr . Adams , it was unanimously agreed to invite T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., and F . O'Connor . Esq ., to a dinner , to come off , if possible , before the sitting of the Birmingham Conference , and to t ke place in the City Hall . The subject has been spoken of amongst a number of friends for . some time past ; Mr . O'Connor ' s state of health and engagements were the only obstacles in the way ; we trust these are now . such as to enable him , along with his worthy friend , once more to visit the mother of Chartism .- Of the sacrifice incurred in accepting this invitation we are fullj sensible , yet notwithstanding all tha « is said by certain would-be philosoDbers about dictation , tyranny .
worse than Tory despotism , tools , paid spies , 4 c , we have no hesitation in saying that such a visit would go far to crush for ever that faction , fostered by middleolas 3 patronage , but now happily laid prostrate . Tuesday evening has Healed its fate j it has failed to Whig-Radical-would-be all things , under the cloak of democracy ; hence patronage will cease ; many of those holding their 5 s . tickets , have already declared they shall have no more of their money , and here they are right . When the middle classes wish a junction with the working classes , their course is to mix with the people themselves , and not employ as intermediates , men who have already rendered themselves obnoxious by insidious attempts to make the people mere instruments to suit p ; irty purposes . Since Tuesday nisht , they are quite { ramie , and to
make their fall as soft as possible , they have the daring effrontery . to assert , that the public meeting at which the delegates were appointed was packed , and tbat they are resolved to protest against the election . What mockery to talk of packing a hall -where near 4 , 000 were present ! Sg far from any attempt to pack the meeting , by the Chartists , the whole strength of the Complete Suffragists were immediately in front of the hustings , and three-fourtlis of these , we are soTry to say , were there for no other purpose than to expose the Chartists , be they right or wrong , viz . Irish Rspeolers . But what makes their talk about packing the meeting a still greater farce , is the fact that those very Repealers , composing , as we have already said , three-fourths of their paltry minority , held meetings on the Sabbath evening preceding the mteting , in Anderson , GoTbals , & . c , - when it was resolved they should bring their whole irfljence to bear on the meeting . Tes , anil that they should surround tha hustings ,
too . Will any of the party dare deny this ? Let them dD so , and vre promise they shall have proof to their heiuts' content , as to our position : we know all their tricks ; but why Waste breath on them ? They are finished , and they know it . When they saw their downfall in their own njeetiDg , they had not the magnanimity to submit like men capable of leading a great movement : no , they became desperate , the philosopher was unceremoniously banished from their ranks , ond the bitter selfish partisan substituted in his place . We have no wish to go into details , otherwise we might lay bare what should bring the biood to the cheek of some of these mock advocates of union . The committee appointed to carry out the resolutions of the public meeting held on Tuesday evening last , met at the close cf the Directors' meeting , when it was unanimously resolved that tbe Directors should be added to the Committee . A large number of subscription books were issued to Mr . Thomas Ancott , treasurer .

SHEFFIELD . —THE POLISH REVOLUTION . —On Sunday evening last , Mr Karney delivered an aidreas in tho Fig Tree-lane Boom , in commemoration of the above glorious though unfortunate struggle in defence of the rights of man . Mr . Evinaon occupied the chair . Mr . Haruty commenced by deacribing the ancient greatness anil power of the Polish nation , when its soldiers , under the famous John Sobeiski , saved Europe from the blighting svray of the ruthless hordes of the Ottoman Empire ; he next showed the rise of the Prussian monarchy and the infamous plots formed and executed by tbe Court of Berlin in conjunction with the Courts of Vienna and St . Petcrsbiirgh for the . dismemberment ofthe 'Polish empire ; the establishment of the constitution of T / 91 ; the Russian invasion that followed , and tbe glorious deeds of Kpsciu&ko and his g&llant compatriots . Mr . H . traced the cateer of the Polish
hero from the period of bisjpining Washington , down to his decease in an obscure village in France . Mr ., H . then gave a brief accouutof the insurrection of 1820 , tha dispersion of the survivors of tbat noblo struggle , and the diabolical ateocitioa cemmitted by the barbarian slaves of the Muscovite tyrant . llr . Harney then Bhowed that the causes of the destruction of Poland were the corruption of the aristocracy and the slavery of the people ; that the lite causes' were in operation here , and would , unless there were virtue in the working classes to prevent so dread a catastrophe , produce similar results in this country . Mr . H . concluded by referring so the insurrection at Barcelona for proof that what the middle class ever bad been , they wer ? still , the enerai « B and betiuyeTfl of the working classes , and that there was no hope for the millions save in their trusting to themselves , and themselves only , for their own salvatipn . :
Peter Poden . —This victim of Whiggery was liberated from Wakefield House of Correction on Monday , last , where he haa suflered one year and nine months' imprisonment over and above more than three months' imprisonment in Yovk Caatle btfore his trial Our Wakefield friends treated Mr . Foden with every kindness , and to them he desires to publicly return his thauks . It . having been announced on Sundaj evening that Mr . Foden was expected to speak in the .-Fig-tree Lane Boom the next night , the result was a meeting crowded almost to . suffocation . At eight o ' clock , Mr . Evinson was called to the chair , and " We'll rally around him" was-sunj » in glorious style .. The Chairman then introduced Mr . Foden , who was received with repeated and enthusiastic chem . Mr . Foden addressed the meetiDg at considerable length
describing tbo cruelties of the abominable ¦ " silent system " , undsr which he has Buffered eo much . As Mr . Foden intends to give a more lengthy history of his prison experiences , we reserve till then the details into which he only partially entered on Monday night , enough for the present that we state , that haying been sentenced to hard labour , and having deter , mined to resist the sentence , he was , on his first refusal to go on the treadmill , sent to ; the solitary cell , there resolved to defy hia persecutors , he refusad to taste of the wretched food—( half a pound of bread , and cold water per diem)—allowed , and resolutely submitted to the pangs of hunger for : whole days together rather than yield ; the result was , that , finding he would not go to the treadmill , he was placed permanently in solitary confinement , but allowed the full
amount . of prises food , and finally his gaolers gave way before a spirit they ceuld neither crush nor subdue , and allowed a further mitigation of his treatment , he having first served upwards of six kontus in solIIART ( CONFINEMENT ! Mr . Fodea concluded hisaddreas amid loud cheers . Mr . Harney moY « d ttie adoption of the following resolution : — " That we sym . pathise with our persecuted brother , Peter Foden , and congratulating him on his restdraUon ' to his family , after two years'incarceration in the dungeons of York and Wakefield , express our fervent hopes that he may speedily see , in the establishment of the People ' s Charter , the reward ot his exertions and sufferings in an oppressed people's cause . " Mr . Parkes seconded the resolution , which was agreed to unanimoutly . Mr . Foden returned thanks , and retired .

the '" Polish RETOLUTJO >* . —At an ovetflowing meeting of the members aud friends of the National Charter Association , held in the room , Figtree lane , Sheffield , ; on Monday evening , Dae Sih , Mr . Ghiorge Evinson in the chair . The following address , moved by Mr . George Julian Haruey , and ably seconded and supported by Mr . Edwin Gill and Mr . Samuel Paike 3 was adopted unanimously : ' — ¦ .. TheCkrxrtisti of Shield to the Polish Democrats in
. - . - ¦ ¦¦' ' England . . ¦ : ... .. ¦ : Brothers is the cause of ;» siversal libertt . ^ The return of the anniversary of your glorious insurrection in defence of the independence and freedom of Poland ; and in assertion of the Universal rights of mankind , reminds us pf one duty to the sacred cause we have espoused , to renew our pledges of fraternity to you , our unfortunate , but heroic brethren , and to again assure you of the hewtfelt sympathy with which wa regard you in your exile from your father-land . We perceive , by the public journals , that the evermemorable 29 th of November has bfeen duly celebrated by assemblies of patriots in the Metropolis of this country , sis well as by a magnificent festival , worthy of the cause , held in that centre of democratic opinion , the -fair city of Paris . . ¦ ' ¦'¦ ¦ '
We have , at the same time , to express ourregTet at the / non-appearauce , this year , of bdv exposition of the viaws of the 'democratic' section of the Polish ^ Emigration , who last year so boldly proclaimed their nation ' s wrongs , and their own resolute ?* eterminatibn to wage unceasing war with tyrants and their tyranny . ; ¦ Wa have a pleasing duty to perform , and that -is . ti » . eongratulate you on the publication : of your address of the 17 th of April , in which , with a dignity that did yon honour , you rejected the uncalled-for interference of that aristocratic faction styling itself the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland , who would have sold you to the despots of Prussia and Mbskwa . The cant of this oligarchical coterie ; -in' pretending to desire tha qbtainiuent of the Prussian amnesty , in order to relieve the English . people . of- the burden of supporting the
Polish Bsfugties , is absolutely disgusting , when it is notorious to tho world that the class to which these frisnds (?) of Poland belong has , by its system of legislative arid social brigandism , reduced the people of thia country to their present state of ruisery and slavery . Weil , the working classes of England are aware that it is ' not-a few thousand pounds devoted jo the support of their Polish brethren that at all impoverishes them . Wellknow they thnt the cause of their wretched bomes and comfortless heanha is that horrible system of legislation , by-which ' ., a tyrant few hare usurped to theaiaelves the exclusive possession of the soil , and threefourths of the products of the labour of the toiling ; millions . JVo , brothers , no—believing that the "men of all countries : axe brotheis , " we consider we but petform our duty in rendering brotherly aid to all who like
you are suffering in the cause of equality andjustice . Brother Democrats . the events that m'irk each succeedin ? ( tteupf the march of timeproolaim . trumpet-tongued , that would the long-trampled upon Berfs of Europe ninncipato ' themselves- from the horrible slavery under which they hare groaned far centuries , they must look only to themselves far their own salvation : —by turns the tools of aristocrats and profit-mongers , they have in all their struggles during the last fifty years , been made the victims of these usurping castes . Shall it ever be so ? No ! A section of the working classes of thia country , already formidable in point of numbers , and daily augmenting its strength and resources , has made
a movement in the right direction ; with energy and union on their part they must ultimately succeed . And how magnificent their triumph!— when the slave-class of England shall burst the fetters of ¦ '• ages , and traropling upon the mummeries ; of kingcraft and tho odious distinctions of a falsB civilization shall extend the arms of fraternity to all the oppressed families of mankind . " For our freedom and yours , " is still our mottoit shall be while vr « can raise our voicei in vindication of our rights and reprobation of your wrongs . With fervent prayers for the restoration of Poland's nationality and freedom , we ; are , noble and gallant patriots , in hatred to . tyrants and love to you , Yours fraternally , Tue Democrats of Sheffield .

Superintendent Storey , with feis rfficers , proceeded to the placa where the catastrophe occurred ; ami the body being removed and afterwards identified , pursuit was made after Buckiey , to Ashton , by Mr ; Storey and two other gentlemen . . '
. Shortly before reaching Ashton they met . Buckley ( along with his father and mother ) coming towards St . Helen ' s . Mr . Storey took Buckley , and on reaching St . Helen ' s he was examined , and his shirt-Bleeves were steeping in Wood almost up to the elbows . \ . . ' ¦ - ' ¦ It having become known that John Hayes , Esf ., the coronevfor this division , had directed the inquest to be held on Wednesday morning , at St . Helen ' s , at the Ecclestpne AVms , at nine o ' clock , a" vast multitude had congregated near the house , and the inquest room wa » fiiled . ¦; ¦ : ¦¦ - , ; .. '¦ :. ' ¦' ' - " ¦; ¦ . : . ; .
