LEAMINGTON . —The Chartists of this locality assembled to receive Mr . George White on his first visit here , which excited considerable interest , all being anxious to judge for themselves of the character and abilities of a man who has been so much calumniated and persecuted . Mr . Donaldson being called to the chair , briefly addressed the meeting . Mr . White was loudly cheered , and received the gratulations of his friends with a degree of . manly calmness which , throughout his address , told well on the inquiring minds by which he was surrounded . He entered closely into the first principles of civilised society , anil philosophically defined the nature of the social compact . He showed the rise and progress of our present aritocra 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 the great mass ef mankind were reduced to ruin , degraded starvation , nakedness , and misery . He glanced at the preposterov * anomaly of the picture of thi 3 country . Beheld on ihe one hand a nation teeming with wealth , our soil proverbial for its richness , our mines proverbial for wealth , aud 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 auy 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 , embued with one spark of humanity , behold this awful state of the nation and not shudder with horror
at the aUroc . ou 5 svstem of ciass legislation which , had produced this state of things , and at tho moral turpitude of all those who Bought to perpetuate the evil by hunting down and persecuting him and every hont&t man in the country who 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 Charter as the only means , in ^» sound , argumentative strain of peculiar , unaffected , native eloquence that completely carried the feelings of his auditory , which at the conclusion , was 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 . Thfcre are six prizes , and the tickets are Cd . each . Svery particular may be explained by appplication to Mr . Stanley ^ Leamington , or Mr . Donaldson , Chapel-street , Warwick .
GLASGOW . —At a numerous meeting of the Directors of the Glasgow Charter Association , heid on Friday evening , Mr . J . Turner in the chair , on the motion of Mr . Grahiune , seeouded by Mr .

Conference , and to t- > kt ) place in the City Hall . The subject has been spoken of amoneat a number of iriends for sometime 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 , ouce more to visit the mother of Chartism . Of the sacrifice incurred in accepting this invitation we are fully sensible , yet notwithstanding all that is said by certain would-be philosophers about dictation , tyranny ,
worse than Tory despotism , tools , paid spies , &c , we have no hesitation in saying that such a visit would go far to crush for ever that faction , fostered by middleolaas patronage , but now happily laid prostrate . Tuesday evening has sealed its fate ; 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 a . 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 party purposes ^ Since Tuesday night , they are quite frantic , 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 that they are resolved to protest against the 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 Snffragists were immediately in front of the hustings , and three-fourths of these , we are sorry to say , ¦ were there for no other purpose than to oppose thfe Chartists , be they right or wrong , viz . Irish Rtpsalers . But what makts 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 Sibbath evening preceding the meeting , in Anderson , G ^ rbals , &c , when it was resolved they should briDg their whole influence to bear on the meeting . Tts , and that they should suf round the hustings , too . Will any of the party dare deny this ? Let them do so , and we promise they shall have proof to their hearts' content , as to our position : we know all their tricks ; but why waste breath oh 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 baniBhed from their ranks , and the bitter selfish partisan substituted in his place . We have no wish to go into details , otherwise we might
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 of the Directors' meeting , when it was unanimously resolved that the Directors shou ' . dbe added to the Committee . A large number of subscription booka were issued to Mr . Thomas Ancott , treasurer . stockton-on-tebs , —Mr . Ryley lectured here on Monday night . WILTS . —On Sunday a Wiltshire district delegate meeting was held at Crokerton , near Warminster . Mr . Tudgey , of Monckton , Deverel , was called to the chair , and the Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting , which were confirmed . Alter some business of minor importance , a resolution was agreed to , pledging the ociety to oppose com Law repeal in favour of the Charter .

Doyle will deliver a lectura in the above place next Monday tvneing , at eight o ' clock .

SHEFFIELD . —THE POLISU REVOLUTION—On Sunday evening last , Mr , Harney delivered an aldress In the Fig Tree-lane Room , in commemoration of the above glorious though unfortunate struggle in defence of the rights of man . Air . Evinsoa occupied-the chair . Mr . Harney comnienced by describing the ancient greatness and power of the Polish nation , when its soldiers , under the famous John Sobeiski , saved Europe from th 8 blighting sway of the ruthless hordes ' of the Ottoman Empire-j / .- 'he next ehowed the rise of the Prussian monarchy and the infamous plots formad and executed by the Court of Berlin in conjunction with the Courts of Vienna and St . Petersburgh for the dismemberment Of the Peli 8 h empire ; the establishment of th < : constitution of l "/ 9 t ; the- Russian invasion that followed , and the gloriouB deeds of Kosciusko and his gallant compatriots .. Mr . H . traced the career of the Polish
hero f roni the period of his joining Washington , down to hia decease in an obscure village in France . Mr . H . then give a brief account of the insurrection of 1820 , the dispvraion of the survivors of that noble struggle ., and the diabolical atrocities committed by the barbarian slaves of the Muscovite tyrant . llr . Harnty then showed that the causes of the destruction of Poland were- the corruption of the . aristocracy and . the Blavery of the people ; that the like causes were in operation here , and would , unless there were virtue in the working classes to prevent so dread a catastrophe , produce n ' milar results in this country . Mr . H . concluded by referring so the insurier . tion at Barcelona for proof that what the middle class ever had been , they were still , the enemit 8 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 .
Peter Foden . — -This victim of Whiggery was liberated from Watfcfleld House of Correction . on Monday last , where he has suffered one year and nine months' imprisonment over and above more than three montBB * imprisonment in Y 01 K Castle before his trial . Our WakeSeid friends treated Mr . Foden with , every kindness , and to them he desires to publicly return his thanks . - , It having been announced on Sunday evening that Mr . Foden was expected ; to ; speak in the Fig-tree Lane Room the-next night , the result was a meeting crowded almost to suBFocation . At eight o ' clock , Mr . Evinson was called to the chair , and " We'll rally around him" was sung in glorious style . The 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 " sileut system" ia . nd « r which he has suffered so much . As Mr . Foden intends to give a more lengthy history : of bis prison experiences , we reserve till then tU « tlet » ilB into which ho only partially entered on Monday night , enough for the present that we state , that having been sentenced to hard labour i and having determined 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 refused to taste of the wretehed 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 , bat allowed the fuil
amount . of prison 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 months in solii abi coNFrNEMENTI Mr . Fodea concluded his address . amid loud cheers . Mr . Harney mov « d the adoption of the following resolution : —^ That we sympathise with our persecuted brother ,. 'Peter Foden , and conftatul&ting him on his restoration to hU family , after two years' incarceration in the dungeons of York and Wakefleld , express our fervent hopes that he may speedily see , in the establishment of the People ' s Charter , the reward of his exertions and sufferings in an oppressed people ' s cause . " Mr . Parkes seconded the resolution , which was agreed to unanimousJy . Mr . Foden returned thanks , and retired .

Thk Polish revolution . —At an . overflowing meeting of the membera aud friends of tha National Cbarter Association , held in the room , Figtree-laue , ' Sheffield , on Monday evening , DiC 5 th , Mr . George Evinson in the chair . The following address , moved by Mr . George Julian Harney , and ably seconded and supported by Mr . Edwin Gill and Mr . Samuel Patkea waaadopted unanimously : — . The Chartists of Sheffield to the Polish Democrats in ... '' - ' ¦ ' ¦' .- ; . ' ' ¦ EngUthd . Brothers is the cause of w . mtersal hbertt . —The return of the anniversary of jpur glorious insurrection in defence of the independence and freedom of PoiWnt ! , ami in assertion of the Uniwrsal rights of mankind , reminds us of one duty to the sacre . 1 cause vs-e have espoused , to renew our pledges of fraternity to you . our unfortunate , but heroic brethren , and . to agaiu assure you of the heartfelt sympathy with . which , we reg .-trd you in your exile from your father-land . ¦
We perceive , by tho , pixbllo journals , , that ' -the ... everinemprable 29 th of November has been duly celebrated by assenibHes of . patriots iu the Metropolis of this country , as well as by a maguificent fesSiv . il , worthy of the cause , held in that centre of democratic opinion , the fair city of Paris . ¦ ¦ We have , at the same time , to express our regret at the non-appearance , this year , of any exposition of the views of the democratic section of the Polish Emigration , who last year so boldly proolaimeil their nation ' a . wrougs , auil their own resolute eteruiination to wage unceasing war with tyrants aud their tyranny . We have a pleasing duty to perform , and that is to eongratulateyou on the publication of your address of the 17 th of April , in which , with a dignity that did you 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 Moskwa . The cant
of this oligarchical coterie , in pretending to desire-the cbtaihinenb of the Prussian amnesty , in order to relieve the English ' people of the burden of supporting the Polish ' -Refugees , ; is absolutely disgusting , when it is notorious to the world that the class to which these frisinds (?) of Poland belong has , by its system of legislativis and social brigandlsm , reduced the people of this country to their ! present state of misery and slavery . Well , the Working classes of England are aware that it is not : vfew thousand pounds devoted to the support of their Palish brethren that at al ! impoverishes' them . Well know they : that the cause of their wretched homes and comfortless hearths is that horrible system of legislation , by which . ' a tyrant few have usurped to themselves the exclusive possession of the soil , and threefourths of the products of the labour of the toiling ltnllions . No , brothers , ne—believing that the " men of a | l countries are brothers , " we consider we but perforni our duty in rendering brotherly aid to all : ' who like you are suffering in the cause of equality and justice .
Brother Demoorats . the events that mirk each succeeding step of the march of time proclaim . trumpet-tongued , that would the long-trampled upon serfs of Europe maricipate themselves from the horrible slavery under which they have groaned for centuries , they must , look only to themselves ! f « r their own salvation •—by luius -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 sectioh of the working classes of this country , already formidable in point of numbers , and daily augmenting its strength and resources , has made anibveHient in the right direction ; with energy and union on thoir part they must ultimately succeed . And how magnificent their triumph . '—when the slave-class df England shall burst the fetters of ages , and trampling upon the mummeries , of kingcraft and the odious distinctions of a false civiiizjtion shall extend the amis of fraternity to all the oppressed families of mankind . " For our freedom and yours , " is still our niottorifc shall be while we can raise our voioei 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 , '¦'¦¦¦ The Democrats of Sheffield .

Shortly before reaching Ashton they met Buckley ( along with his father and mother ) coming towards St . Helen ' s . Mr . Storey took Buckley , and on reacting St .

The most interesting witness was Mr . Storey , the police superintendent , who apprehended Buckley and to whom he made a full confession on Tuesday afternoon . Mr . Storey described the apprehension of Bnckiey , and produced his coat , trousers , shirt , and handkerohief , which were each besmeared with blood ; also a fcnife with two blades , the larger of which had a blood stain upon ii . This witness stated that yesterday the prisoner sent for him into his cell , arid when he waited upon him there , desired him to send for'Mr . Woods , painter ^ &c ., With whom he used to work , for he had something to reveal to him which weighed heavily upon hia mind . Mr . Storey consented , to his having an interview with Mr . Woods , but insisted that be should also : be present . Mr . Woods waa searched for , but was found to be absent from home . Mr .
Greenali , the magistrate , had occasion , in the discharge of his duties , to be in th « police-office , and Buckley being aware of bis presence , intimated his willingness to diyulgg his guilt to Mr . Qreenall . That gentleman visited him in bis cell , and understanding what it was be was about to state , cautioned him most earnestly that anything he might say that would implicate himself would be used as testimony against him , and oxpreaseJhia nn . wi lingness to have the prisoner ' s statement directed jimneiiLitely to him . Buckley declared to Mr . Storey that it was he who had done the deed , and stales that after leaving the Bird-ith ' -hand public-house , on the Liverpool-road , and near a mile from the town , they ;
were returning together , and during the walk from the public-house to the spot where he was influenced to perpetrate this sanguinary deed ho ( related to his wife , that when in Wigan lately , he met with an old sweetheart of his , and this , he states , aroused a feeling of jealousy in h 6 r breast , and she continued upbraiding him until hu passion usurped his nobler feelings , and he deliberately inveigled her from the highway into the field , and , taking bis knife out from bis pocket , made a fatal stroke at her throat ; and the gash he inflicted , it is supposed by the surgeon who examined her , would put a period to her existence in less than two minutes . The evidence being here closed ,
The Coroner cautieued the priaoner in the . umial manner , and then asked him whether he had anything to say ? The prisoner then made a confession similar to that already deposed to by Superintendent Storey , fcxpresaing a with that it might be taken down in writing . He stated that deceased bad goaded him to distraction about his former sweetheart in Wigan , and that : he pulled his knife but' of hi * pocket and stabbed her . The jury , without a moment ' s hesitation , retimed a verdict ' of "Wilful Murd ' tr" agaiiisVthe pritoner , who was immediately after r » move , l to -Ksrkdale jail , Liverpool , to abide his trial at tiao next osaizja . .
