On the 1 st of Oirtaber , the Governor-G ~ -nfral issued the proclamation from Simla , announcing the victories over the ASghans , and the intended evacuation of the couuiry . Tr . e style , stetements , and tbe principles of this ivnporia , i proclamation , have b £ fn variously canvassed in India . Tbe phraseolojry is stited to be suited rather to the , 4 . ? iat . ic ttan E rropean tiste ; it cannot , however .-fail * o prove an impressive lesson to all the native Prin ^ g .
Tiie Governor-General has pnWLsh&d ^ sveral oiher procl 3 . iiiu . tions , and among them are those ' hich coi fer honours and Hifrdals , tc , on the regiments employed at Candaha .-, Ghczaee .

But this
ruse -s said to avail him little , and it was thought that he , like his three brothers , and niiay adherents of his family -srnuld have ta retreat with the armiea , in order tolea-1 s T > esceab ; e life as pensioners on the bounty of the Hon . Company . It was not known how the - Aff ^ hMis . who have had Experience of the resolution of the British Government to avenee all acts of treachery , would condnct themselves finring the retreat of the troops from Cabul to Peshawnr . The are described as hizhly incensed ¦ with the Sikh sokiiers who acted as auxiliaries to tht British , and who during their progress into the AiFgban conntry had io ^ olsed their propensity for pltmder . to toe Tstznost It WM Bt ^ d thai the Sikhs intended to retain possession of theKayber Pass , and to waictain it again it the

It appeared , therefore , that the Sikhs anticipated a continuai , cfe <¦{ the war with the Affi * hans after the retirement of tke British troops . TdU anticipation is supposed te have contributed to tbe immediate formation of the camp of reserve in Sirhind . Tt 9 native festival
called the Dassorah , which toot place in October , had passed over in quiet a ^ Lahore . < jre » t preparations wsre 3 n 3 k- rg there for the visit which the Governor- General of India wsa about to mate to Maharaja Shere Singh .

Bet little difficulty appeared to be expected in th march of the British from Peshawnr to India , for th jnoctbs of Jfovember , December , aBd January , ajp ie presented as heilthfal for marcbine through the Pun jaub .

JiBAmiKGTOK . —The Chartists of this locality assembled to receive Mr . George White on his first visit hire , which txcited considerable interest , all being anxious to judge / or themselves of the character and abilities of a man who has been so much calumniated and persecuted . Mr . Donaldson being called to tho chiir , brk fly addressed the meeting . Mr . White was loudly cheered , and received the gratulations of bis frit-Eds with a degree of manly calmness which , throughout bisaddietig , told well on the inquiring minds by wh ch he was surrounded . He entered closely into the first principles of civilised society , and philosophically defined tbe nature of the social compact . He snowed the rise and progress of our present aritoct&tic institutions , and the equivocal means by which the
laws of God , of Nature , and of man , were basely perverted to the aggrandisement and false glory of a small section of the community , and by which tbe great niass ef munkind were reduced to ruin , degraded starvation , nakedness , and misery . He glanced at the prepi'&tercua anomaly of the picture of this country . Beheld on tbe one band a nation teeming with wealth , our 6 oil proverbial for its richness , our mines proverbial for wealth , and our agricultural , manufacturing , and commercial resources unbounded ; in a word , behold tbe richest country under tbe Ban , ami behold oa tbe other band , ( be mott industrious , skilful , and patient population of any nation in the world , starving in millions , and destitute of the common necessaries of life . Now , he would ask , could any man of common sense , embaed with one spark of humanity , behold , this awful state cf the nation and not shudder with horror at the attrocioua system of class legislation which bad
produced this Etate of things , and at the moral turpitude Of ail UlOSa Who BOU ^ ht to perpetuate the evil by hunting down and persecuting him and every honest man in tbe country who dared to instruct the people , and show them the cause of their tnigt-ry , aud the only effectual means to care it ? Mr . W . explained tbe principle * of tbe Chnrter as the only in tana , in a fpuod , argumentative strain of peculiar , unaffected , native eloquence that completely carried the feelings of his auditory , which at tbe conclusion , was manifested by a unanimous vote of thanks being passed from the chair . A new Council and officers were elected , and several fcu&iness-matters were transacted . Tho new Defence Fund lottery scheme was fully arrai : g « d . There are Bix pr Z 33 , and the tickets are QA . tucb . Every particular may be explained by uppplication to Mr . Stanley , Ltuimington , or Mr . Donaldson , Chapel-street , Warwick .
G 1 ASGOW . —At a numerous meeting of the Directors of the Glasgow Charter Assrciation , held on Fridiy fivening , Mr . J . Turner in tbe ch . tir , on tho motion of Mr . Grahame , seconded by Mr . Adams , it was unanimously agreed to invite T . 8 . Duucombe , Efq ., and F . O'Connor Esq ., to a dinner , to cuma off , if possible , before the sitting of the Birmingham Conference , and to t ke place in the City Hall . The subject has been epoken of amonest a number of triends for some time past ; Mr . O'Connor ' s Btate of health and engagements were the only obstacles in the way ; we trust these are now Buch as to enable him , along with his worthy friend , once more to ^ isit the mother of Chartism . Of the sacrifice incurred in accepting this invitation we are fully sensible , yet notwithstanding all tbafc is said by
Certain would-be philosophers about dictation , tyranny , worse than Tory despotism , tools , paid spies , 4 c , we have no hesitation in spying that such a visit would go far to crush for ever that faction , fostered by middleolass patronage , but now happily laid prostrate . Tuesday evening has sealed its fate ; it has failed to Whig-Radical-woulil-be all things , under tbe cloak of democracy ; hence patronage will cease ; many of those holding their 5 s . tickets , have alteady 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 party purposes . Since Tuesday night , they are quite frantic , and to mako their fall as soft aa possible , they have the daring effrontery to assert , that the public meeting at which tbe delegates were appointed was packed , and that they are resolved to protest against tbe election . What mockery to talk of packing a hall where near 4 , 000 were present ! So 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-fourths of tbese , we are sorry to say , were there for no other purpose than to oppose the Chartists , be they right or wrong , viz . Irish Repealers . Bat what makes their talk about packing the meeting a still greater farce , is the fact that
those very Repealers , composing , as we hkve already said , three-fourths of their paltry minority , held meetings on the Sabbath evening preceding tbe meeting , in Anderson , G-rbals , &c ., when it was resolved they should bring their whole influence to bear on the meeting . Yt s , and that they shonld surround the hustings , too . Will any of tbe party dare deny this ? Let them do so , and we promise they shall have proof to their beaits' 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 meeting , 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 , and 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 blood 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 cloae of the Directors' meeting , when it was unanimously resolved that the Directors should be added to the Committee . A large number of subscription books were issued to Mr . Thomas Ancott , treasurer .

SHFPPIELD . —The Polish Revolution . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . Harney delivered an address in the Fig Tree-lana Room , in commemoration of the above glorious though unfortunate struggle in defence of the rights of man . > lr . Evinson ocoup'ed the chair . Mr . Harney commenced by describing the ancient greatness and power of the Polish nation , when its soldiors , under the famous John Subeiski , saved Europe from the blighting away of the ru ' . bless hordes of the Ottoman Empire ; he nest showed the rise of the Prussian monarchy and tho infamous plots for : ned and executed by tbe Court of Berlin in conjunction with the Courts of Vienna and St . Petersburg !! for the dismamberment of the Polish empire ; the establishment of tho constitution of T / 91 ; the Russian invasion that followed , and the glorious deeds of Kosciusko and his gallant compatriots . Mr . H . traced the career of the . Poliah
hero from the . period of his joining Washington , down to bis decease in an obscure village in France . ' Mk H . then gave a brief account of the insurrection- of 1820 , the dispersion of the hurvivora of Uiat neble suuggle , and the diabolical atrocities committed by the barbarian slaves of tha Muscovite tyrant . Mr . Harney then showed that the causes of the destruction of Poland were the corruption of the aristocracy and the slavery of the people ; that the like causos were in operation here , and would , unless there were virtue in the ¦ working classes to prevent bo dread a catastrophe , produce similar results in this country . Mr . H . concluded by referring so the insur ; ection at Barcelona for proof that what the middle class ever had been , they were still , the enemies and betrayers 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 salvation .
PETEtt FoDBN . ^ Tbia victim Whiggery . was liberated from Wakefield House of Correction on Monday last , where he has suffered one year and nine months' imprisonment over and above more than three montfcs' imprisonment in York Castle before his trial . Our W&kefield fritnos treated Mr . Foden with every kindness ,: and to them lie desires to publicly return his thanks . It having been aonoanced on Sunday evening that Mr . Foden was expected . to speak in the Fig-tree Lane Room the mxi 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 sung in glorious style . Tbe Chairman then introduced Mr . Foden , who was received with repeated and enthusiastic cheers . Mr . Foden
addressed the meeting at considerable length , describing the cruelties of the abominable " silent system" undar which he has suffered so much . As Mr . Foden intends to give a more lengtbj history of his prison experiences , we reserve till then the detailB into which he only partially entered on Monday night ; enough for tbe present that we state , that having been sentenced to hard labour , and having determined to resist the sentence , be was , on his first refusal to go on the treadmill , sent to the solitary cell , there resolved to defy bis persecutors , be retuaed to taste of the wretahed food —( half a pound of bread , and cold water per diem)—allowed , and . resolutely submitted to the panga of hunger for whole days together rather than yield ; tbe result was , that , finding he would not go to the treadmill , he was placed
permanently in solitary confinement , but allowed tbe full amount . of prison food , and finally his gaolers gave way before a spirit they ceuld neither crush nor subdue , and allowed » farther mitigation ; of his trestaiuit , be hiving first served upwards of six months in solilABTt confinement J Mr . Foden concluded Ida address amid loud cheers . Mr . Harney moved the adoption of the following resolution : — " That we sympathise with our persecuted brother , Peter Foden , and congratulating him on his restoration to tils family , after two years' Incarceration in the dungeons of York and Wakefield , express our feivent hopes that be may speedily see , in tbe establishment of the People ' s Charter , the reward of bis exertions and sufferings in an oppressed people's cause . " Mr . Farkes seconded the resolution , which was agreed to unanimously , Mr . Foden returned thanks , and retired .

The Polish Retoluiion . —At an oveiflowhij meeting of the ' mtmbera aud friends of tbe National Charter Assocfation , beid Fn tbe room , F / gtree-lane , Shtffi ' . ld , on Monday evening , Die . 5 th , Mr . Gaorgg Evinson in tbe chair . The following address , moved by Mr . George Julian Harney , and ably secondol and supported by Mr . Edwin Gill and Mr . Samuel Parkes was adopted unanimously : — . ' The Chartists of Sheffield to the Polish Democrats in England . Brothers in the cause of universal libertt , —The return of the anniversary of your glorious insur . rection in defence of the independence ahd freedom of Poland , and in assertion of the Univtrsal rights of mankind , reminds us of o&e duty to the sacted causa we bave espocsed , to renew eur pledges of fraternity to you , our unfortunate , but heroic brethren , and to again assure you of the heartfelt sympathy with which w « reg . ird you in your exile from your father-land .
We perceive , by the public journals , that the ive * memorable 29 th of November has been duly celebrated by assemblies of patriots in the Metropolis of thii country , as well as by a magnificent festival v worthy <* the cause , held in that centre of democratic opinion , the fair city of PariB . We have , at the same time , to express our regret at the non-appearauce , this year , of auy exposition of the views of the democratic section of tbe Polish Emigration , Who last year so boldly proclaimed tbeir natiou ' i wrongs , and their own resolute d etermination to wage unceauine war with tyrants and their tyranny . .
We huve a pleasing duty to perform , and that is t « eongratuiate you on the publication of your address of the 17 th of April , in which , with a dignity that did y « 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 despota of Prussia and Moskwa . The cant of this oligatcbical coterie , in pretending to desire the obtainnienfc of the Prussian amnesty , in order to relieve the English people of the burden of supporting th « Polish R-fugeeH , is absolutely disgusting , when it li notvrious to the world that the class to which these friends (?) of Poland belong has , by its system of leai *
lativB and social brfgandism , reduced the people of this country tor tbuir present state of misery and slavery . Well , the working classes of England are aware that it is not a few thousand ' pounds devoted lo the support of their Polish brethren that at al ! impoverishes them . Weil know they that the cause of their wretched homet and comfortless beartbs is that horrible system of legia-Jatton , hy-which a tyrant few have usurped to them . selves the exclusive possession of tne soil , and three , fourths of the products of the labour of the toilinf millions . No , brothers , no—believiDg that the " men of nil countries are brothers , " we consider wa but per . form our rju . ty . in rendering brotherly aid to all . wbb likt you nre suffering in the cause of equality and justice .
Brother Democrats . the events that mirk each succeeding step of the march vf time proclaim . trumpeVtongued , that would the long-trampled upon serfs of Europt nianc'pate themselves from the horrible slavery unda which they have groaned for centuries , they must loot only to tbemselyes far thoir own salvation : —by turn the tools of aristocrats and prout-moneers , they-have ii all their struggles during the last fifty years , been madt the victims of these usurping : castes . Shall it © ver b so ? No- ! A section of the working classes of thi country , already formidable in point of numbers , ani daily augmenting its strength and resources , has liiadt
a movement in the right direction ; with energy and tiuion on their part they must u / tiraately succeed . And how magnieceut their triumph!—when the alave-claa of England shall burst the fetters of ages , and tramp ling upon tbe mummeries of kingcraft and the odioa distinctions of a false civilization shall extend thearmi of fraternity to all the oppressed families of mankifid .- * ' For our freedom and yours , " is still our mottoit shall be while we can raise our voices in vindication of our rights and reprobation of your wrongs . Witi fervent prayers for the restoration of Poland ' s nationality and freedom , we are , noble and gallant -patriots , ii hatred to tyrants and love to you , Yours . fraternally , The Democrats of Sheffield .
