      INDIA , AFFGRASISTAK , ASD CHINA . . EXPBESS FROil MARSEILLES . Tbe ordinary monthly express from Marseilles in anticipationoltheOverland MaS reaebedEngland on Sunday . - It brings intelligence from Bombay to the 1 st of November , and entirely confirms the news brought by the late intermediate man . The Indian Mail had arrived at Marseilles , and an-BOOBees that the Emperor of China fcss accepted the treaty of peace of the 29 i cf August , and has engaged testify it as aoaa a * notiee of tho ratification oi it by Iier Britannic Msjssty shall Save been received . Bis Imperial Majesty proposes Bending an Ambassador to "London . Half of the first instalment of the indemnity

      has been paid , and confided to the Blonde frigate for conveyance to Esgland . A steamer had come directly fromNsnkip v Sutz to bring this news ; it had on board Mr . r . a . < . » lTi , Secretary « f the KrtgliFh Legation thereof . Tne English fl *« t -will -winter at Cbusac ; ¦ where vast works are undertakes to make the ullnd healthy . The British land and sea forces still remained « Nankin . The proceedings of the British armies in the neighbourhood of Cabnl have been eminently sccce « £ fui . Tne trbole cf t&e British prisoners have been liberated from the hands of the Afi ^ bans . T&eir somber was thirty-one officers , sine ladies , and twelve children , with fifty-one European soldiers , two tierks , and fonr women , making in all 109 persons , who ' , had suffered the horrota of captivity from the 10 th ef January to the 21 st and 27 th of September .

      On tbe arrival of General Nott ' s division at Cabal , the resolution adopted by the British Government to destroy all the Affgnan strongholds was carried into execution . An expeditionary corps of about 4 . 000 men was seat to demolish the Strong forts of Ist&Iif and Cbareekar . On the 29 th of September , . General SI'C&skel and Brigadiers Tu ; loch and Stacy , who commanded this force were met by a strong body of Aff jhwTia , led on by Areeen Cola and sixteen of their most determined Chiefs , wfco sought to defend IstaliiF . Tcis town consisted of masses of houses built on the Blopa of the mountain , in the rear of which , were lofty eminences shutting in a defila leading to ~ Tuikistan > The Dumber of its inhabitants exceeds 15 , 000 , who ,

      torn their defences and the difficulties of approach , considered their po&ilion unassailable . The great part of the plunder seised last January from the "Rriripfr was placed there , and the Chiefs kept their wires and families in it , and many also of tho&e who had esaped from Cabal , sought refuge there . The British troopa socn tnnAa themselves Boasters of the town , drivir ? tbe enemy before them with considerable slanghter . Two brass field-pieces were taken . The loss to the victors consisted in one c&eer ( Lieutenant Evans , of Eer Majesty ' s 4 lst Regiment ) killed , and four wtmnfied . The demolition of the forts was immediately begun . Tbs expedition , after the destruction oi Cfiareekar , was expecied to return immediately to Cabal .

      tUlwr Khan ? 33 a triaderer in Kohistan . On learning Swt all the prisoners , save Captain Bygrave , whem he had in immediate astendaEcs upon himself , had been surerdered to the British authorities , he came to the resolution of rending in that officer also . Capt . BjgravB was allowed to join General Pollock ' s camp on taking a letter from Athhp . r THinn to the British GfcceraL Tiie letter is stated merely to contain an inquiry as to what the British intended to do with hi * father and his family . ... It is farther asserted that Akhbar Khan had lost all his influence -with ths Afighana , particularly since he had refused to place himself at their head curing the cattle of Ttsten , although called upon to do so . Tcz ^ en was the battle fought oa the 13 th of September , and which deeided the fate of CsbuL

      One of the duties performed by the British was the interment of the skeletons of those who bad fallen daring the fatal retreat of January last . The number did not exceed 400 or 500 . StTeral of these melancholy remains were recognisable . It is further ^ tattd , that very many of the native soldiers and of . the Hindoos who had accompanied the troops during the fatal retreat , hare come into the British cantonments . . On tha 1 st of October , t * " » Governor-General issued the proclamation from Simla , announcing the victories over the Affffwma , and the intended evacuation of the country . The style , statements , and the principles of this important proclamation , have b ? en variously canvassed in India . The phraseology is stated to be suited rather to the Asiatic thsn European fcatej it cannot , however , fail to prove an impressive lesson to all the native Princes .

      The Govenkor-Ganeral has published several o ' . ber jnoelamMiocis , « ""* y «« ng item are those which coxiiti honours and sedals , dec ., on the regiments employed at Carcr » abar . G-tnee , Cabul , &s . O ^ e of these announces the termination , of tha war with China , and which directs the distribution of medals and other honours to the Indian soiiisrs and sailors employed in that

      campaign . The return of the British armies from Cabul to Pe * hawar was expected to begin abost the iota of October . The destruction cf Cabul . . and of the Bala Hissa , and alBO of the fort of Jellalabad , had been ordered . An attempt was made by Puttsh Jung , the son of Schab Soojah , to place himself on the throne of Cabul at the time cf the firing of the salute by the British troops on their colours being hoisted in the Bala Hissa . But Sus ruse is said to avail >»* " little , and it was thought that he , like his three brot&ers , and many adherents of his family would L&ve te retrcit -wish the airmen , in ordet to lead a pescs&ble life as pensioners on the bounty oi the Hon . Company . ' .

      It "was not known how the Afghans , who have bad experience of the resolution of the British Government to avenge all acts cf treachery , ' would conduct themselves during the retreat cf the troops from Cabal to Peshawur . The are described as highly incensed with the Sikh soldiers who acted as auxiliaries to the British and who during their progress into the Afghan country had indulged their propensity for plunder to the utmost-It was stated that the Sikhs intended to retain posses sion of the Kayber Pass , and to maintain it . againit the irruption of * fy > Aflghan * . Of the Prench Generals in tbe Sitb service , there are but two DOW ia active employ . Vestara was expected to arrive ia India from France , while Avitabiie and Court Bought to obtain leave of iA « Ani » n from ths Sikh Monarch .

      ATitabQe , who had ge-verned Peshawar daring some jean , was ia the beginning of October refused any furlough except lor one month , "which was to be spent at lahore , and Court "Would not be allowed' any leave of absence unless he left Mb son as a hostage tor his return . It appeared , therefore , that the Sikhs anticipated a continuance of ths war with ths Afghans after tha retirement of the British troops . This anticipation is supposed to have contributed to the immediate formation of the camp of reserve in Sirhind . Ths native festival called the 2 fe 3 sorah , which took place in October , had passed am in quiet st Lahore . Great preparations were

      making there for ths visit which the Governor-General of India ws * about to make to Maharaja Sfaera Singh . la a special proclamation the Governor-General had ordered that Mr . Clerk , who had done signal service as Political Agest at Umballa , shonld bs appointed Envoy St the Court of Lahore , with the title of " Ex&eUeucy . " The Sikh leader , Z jrawar Singh , who had been defeated in his invasion of the Chinese territory of Thibet , had contrived to involve his Government by hia msxcBavres , and it would require some management to Bottle the natters in dispute between the old British allies the Sikhr . and the one lately formed hi ths Empire of China .

      But little difficulty appeared to be expected in the march of the British from Peshawar to India , for tba months of November , December , and January , are represented as healthful for marching through tbe Punjanb . Among the trophies which General Nott brings back to India are the celebrated Bsndal-weod gates which a Mahometan conqueror had takes away from an T"fl' !» i temple , and which had , during nearly eight centuries , formed the chief ornament of his tomb at { rhnznee . What will be their next destination remains unknown . Tae news of the ratification by the Chinese Emperor r f the treaty of peace bad reached India , and contributed to the general satiaraetian . Trade was beginning to experience the results of the general activity .

      In the interior of India tranqnillity prevailed . The -disturbance * which threatened toyeate confusion in Bundelkund were , it was expected , about to cease , for all the inhabitants of every pan of that continent , ineluding even the dissatisfied and bigotted Moslems , appeared impressed mare than ever with a conviction of "ppfr'sh superiority , and also of their total inability to make any effectual resistance . 3 jhe Bombay troops had dismantled and abandoned Qsetta , and retired to the hanks of the Indus . The mountaineers had attacked some of the stragglers in theBoIan pass , and killed Assistant-Surgeon Brickwell , Who , from indisposition , was travelling in a litter , an'd did not keep up with the main body . : A Court-martial will , it is said , be holdea on General Sbelton and Colonel Palmer , and four other officers , immediately os their return to India .

      The Governor-General and the Commander-in-Colef we expected to leave Simla towards the end of October , in order to meet the army of reserve and the other troops in the vicinity of the 8 otledga The taming of ¦ merchant abipi continued . The Jeasy was coawmwi at Calcutta , and the Belridera at Singapore . JTh « i M >/ fT" summon has been favourable . Its effects were felt ia heavy showers even at Bombay . The Company ' s sloop Ooofce was struck by Eghtning at four o ' clock is the msaxaag of the Slit of October . The damage was not great

      BBISTOJ ^—At a public meeting th 3 Chartists of Bristol , held ia Bear-lane Chapel , on Tuesday evening , it was resolved , " That the Brislol Chartfets are desirous of expressing their thanks to the Rev .

George White on his fiist visit here , which excited considerable interest , all being anxious to judge lor themselves of the character and abilities of a man -who b&s bet n so much calumniated and persecuted . Mr . Donaldson being called to the chdir , briifly addressed the meeting . Mr . White was loudly cheered , and received the gratulations of bis friends with a degree of manly calmness which , throughout his address , told well ou the inquiring mindB by which he was surrounded . He entered closely into the first principles of civilist-d society , and philosophically defined the nature of the social compact . He showed the rise and progress cf our present aritocratic institutions , and the tquivocitl 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 , aud miBeiy . He glanced at the preposterota anomaly of the picture of tuia country . Beheld on the one hand a nation teeming With Wealth , our soil proverbial for its richness , our mines proverbial for wealth , and oar agricultural , manufacturing , and commercial resources unfunded ; in a word , behold the richest country under the sun , and behold on the other bond , the most lndustrions , 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 , embued with one spark of humanity , behold this awful state of the nation and not shudder with horror at the attrccioos system of c ' ass legislation which bad

      produced this state of things , and at the moral turpitude of all those who sought to perpetuate the evil by bunting down and persecuting him and every honest man in the country whs dared to instruct the people , and show them tbe cause of their misery , and tbe only effectual means to euro it * Mr . W . explained the principles of the Charter as the only means , in » sound , araumentativa strain of peculiar , uu . iffected , native eloquence that completely carried tho feelings of his auditory , which at the conclusion , was manifested by a unanimous vote of thauks 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 ore six przss , and the tickets are 6 d . 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 tKe Glasgow Charter Association , held on Friday evening , Mr . J . Turner in the chair , oh 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 corns off , if possible , before the sitting of the Birmingham Conference , and to t Jie place in tbe 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 tbe way ; we trust these are now sneh 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 fully sensible , yet notwithstanding all that is said by certain would-be philosophers about dictation , tyranny , worae than Tory despotism , tools , paid spies , && , we have no hesitation in saying that such a visit would go far to crush for ever that faction , fostered by middleclass 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 tbo « e holdiDg their 5 s . tickets , have already declared the > shall have no more of their money , and here they are right . When the middle classes wub a junction with the working classes , their course ia to mix with the people themselves , and not employ

      as intermediates , men who have already rendered themselves obnoxious by insidious attempts to make tha people mere instruments to suit party purposes . Since Tuesday night , they are quite frantic , aud to make their fall aa soft as possible , they hate 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 Chartis ' . s , the whole strength of the Complete Suffragists were immediately in front of the hustings , and three-fourths of these , we are Eorry to say , were there for no other purpose than to oppose the Chartists , be they right or wrocz , Tiz .

      Irish Repealers . But what makta their talk about packing the meeting a still greater farce , is the fact that tboBe very Repealers , composing , as we have already said , three-fourths of their paltry minority , held meetings on the Sabbath evening preceding the meeting , in Anderson , Gorbals , fcc ., when it wes resolved they should bring their whole influence to boar on the meeting . Ycb , and that they should surround the hustings , too . Will any of the party dare deny this i Let them do so , and we promise they shall have proof to their heatts' content , as to our position : w « 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 waa unceremoniously banished from their ranks , and the bitter Bslflsh pavtiBan substituted in hia place . We have no wish to go into details , otherwise we might lay bare what should bring the blood to tbe cheek of some of these mock advocates of union . The commit * tee appointed to carry oat the resolutions of the public meeting held on Tuesday evening last , met at tbe clo * e of the Directors * meeting , when it was unanimously resolved that the Directors should be added to the Committee . A latye number of subscription books were issued to Mr . Thomas Ancott , treasurer .

      SHEFFIELD . —THE POLISH 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 . ¦ Mr . Evin ^ on ocoupied the chair . Mr . Harney commenced by describing the ancient greatness ami power of the Polish nation , when its soldiers , under the famous John Sobeiski , saved Europe from the blighting sway of the ruthless hordes of the Ottoman Empire ; he next showed the rise of the Prussiiui monarchy and the infamous plots formed and executed by the Court of Berlin in conjunction with the Courta of Vienna and St . Petersburgh for the dismemberment of the Pelish empire ; the establishment of tho constitution of 1791 ; the Russian invasion that followed , and the glorious deeds of Koaciusko and his gallant compatriots . Mr . H . traced the career of the Polish

      hero , from the period of his joining Washington , down to Ws decease in an obecure village in France . Mr . H . then gave a brief account of the insurrection of 1820 , tb « dispersion of the survivors of that noble struggle , and the diabolical atrocities committed by the barbarian slaves of the Muscovite tyrant llr . 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 causes , were in operation here , and would , unless there were virtue in the working clcuueB 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 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 , foe their own salvation . : :

      PETER Foden .- —Thia victim of Whiggery was liberated from Wnkefield Home of Correction on Monday last , where he has suffered one year and nine months' imprisonment over and above more than three months' imprisonment in York Castle before bis trial . Oar Wakefleld friends treated Mr . Foden with every kindness , and to them he desires to publicly return his thanfcs . It having been announced on Sunday evening that Mr .

Mr . Foden

      addressed the meeting at considerable length , describing the cruelties of the abominable " silent system" under which he has suffered so much . As Mr . Foden Intends to give » 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 having been sentenced to hard labour , and having determined to reaiet the sentence , he was , on his first refusal to go on the treadmill , sent to the solitary ceil , there resolved to defy his penecutors , he refused to taste of tbe wretened 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 , be was placed

      permanently in solitary confinement , bat allowed the fail amount . of prison food , and finally his gaolers gave way before a spirit they cenld neither crash nor subdue , and allowed a further mitigation of his treatment , he having first etved upwatda of six months IN SOLITAB 1 CONFINEMENT I Mr . Fodem eoncladed hi * addresB amid loud cheers . Mr . Harney moved the adoption of the following reaolution : — " That we sympathlse with our persecuted hrotber , Peter Foden , and congratulating him on ^ bis restoration to his family , after tiro years' incarceration in the dungeong of York and Wakefleld , express our fervent hopes that he may speedily see , in the establishment of the Peopl e ' s Chatter , tha reward of his exertions and sufFtrings in an oppressed people ' s cause . " Mr . Parkes seconded the resolution , which was agreed to unanimottsly . Mr . Foden returned thanks , and retired .

      Thb Polisb RETOLcnoif . —At an overflowing Electing of tha members and friends of the National Charter 1 Association , held in the room , Figtrealane , SlufBeld , on Monday evening , Djc . 5 th , Mr . George Evinson in the chair . The following address , moved by Mr . George Joilan Harney , and ably seconded and supported by Mr . Edwin GUI and Mr . Samuel Paifcea wa 8 adopted unanimously : — The Chartists of Sheffield to the Polish Democrats in England , Brothers in the cause of wniteesai . libeett . —The return of the anniversary of your glorious insur rection In defence of the independence and freedom of Poland , and in assertion of the Universal rights of mankind , reminds us of one duty to the isacied cause we have espoused , to renew our pledges of fraternity to yon , our unfortunate , but heroic brethren , and to again assure you of the heartfelt sympathy with which wo regard yoa in your exile from your father-land .

      We perceive , by the public journals , that the ever-Biemorable 29 th of November has been duly celebrated by assemblies of jpatriots in this ^ Metropolis of this country , as well aa bya magnificent festival , worthy of the cause , held in that centre of democratic opinion , tbo f ilr city of Paris . V - 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 buldly proclaimed their nation ' s wrongs , and their own resolute determination to wage unceasing war with tyrants and their tyranny .

      We have a pleasing duty to perform , and that is to congratulate you on the publication of your address of the 17 th of April , in which , with a dignity that did yoa 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 canfe of this oligarchical coterie , in pretending to desire the obtainmeat of tbe Prussian amnesty , in order to relieve the '' English / , people of the burden of supporUng the Polish Refugees , is absolutely disgusting , wheu it to notorious to the world that the class to which thesefr . iend 8 (?) of Poland belong has , by its system of legith

      lative and social bsfgandism ; 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 a few thoosand pounds devoted to the sapporc of their . Polish brothren that at all inipuvarishe * them . Well know they that the cause of their wretched , homes and comfortless hearthB is that horrible system of legislation , by which a tyrant few have usurped to themselves the exclusive possession of tbe soil , and threefourths of the products of the labour of the toiling miilions . No , brothers , ns—believing that the " mea of all countries are brothers , " we consider we but perform our duty in rendering brotherly aid . to all who llkd . you are suffering Ia the cause of equality and justice .

      Brother Democrats , the events that mirk each succeeding step of the march of timeproclaim , trumpet-tongued , that would the long-trampled upon sera of Europe mancipate themselves from the horrible slavery undet which they have groaned for centuries , they must look only to themselves for their own salvation : —by tarna the tools of aristocrats and profit-mongers , they have in ail- their struggles during the last fifty years , been made the victims of these usurping castes . Shall it ever be so ? No ! £ l eecuoB of tao woiking classes of this 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 trampling upon the mummeries of / kingcraft and the odiooa distinctions of a false civilization shall extend the arms ef fraternity to all tbe oppressed families of maniiad . *« For oar freedom and yours , " is still our mottoit shall be while we caa raise our voices in vindication of our rights and reprobation of your wronga 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 , ¦ : j Youra fraternally , ; / .
