      ( Continued from our last . ) ¦ He could not "bear the idea of going into trade , and -was greatly embarrassed in the choice of a congenial profession , haiing been thus thwarted id the favourite object of his genius and ambition . He ¦ was at last articled to Mr . Chakees ¦ Watson , an eminent arohitecythen of Wakefield , and afterwards of York . This profession Mr . Oxsileb , was obliged soon after to xeHnqmsh , in consequence of a weakness in his sight . This occasioned him fresh disappointment and regret .

      Twice baffled in the plans ie had formed for his future life , he abandoned all RJTmlftT expectations , and ' at once made up his mind to go into business . He "began as a Coihmission Agent , and , by the steady application of his naturally active and "rigorous mind , rose gradually into deservedly high . credit and respectability as | a tradesman . Itwasnotlong "before be ranked amongst the principal merchants in Xeeds ^ -rrespected for Ms sterling integrity and honour , and considered as one whose superior talents for business would shortly raise their possessor to affluence and distinction . . But the expect sdons ~ of- bis friends were to be frustrated in this

      particular , as Ms own bad been m former designs . Soon after the general peace , Mr . Oastleb examined minutely the state of his affairs ; and , not finding it to correspond with his calculation of "what ought to nare been its comparative prosperity , and also foreseeing a change in the mode of carrying on the business of the country , be determined , contrary to the entreaties and remonstrances of his numerous friends , immediately to abandon , and never again to resume , Ms mercantile pursuits . It was in 1820 that Mr . Oastleb . was made a bankrupt , in spite of all the efforts made by bis friends to induce "him to continue Ms business . He refused all their

      offers of credit and asastance . He was in ne want of either money or credit at the time , but did not think be could , and , therefore , would not , as an bonest man , run tbe slightest risk , wben that risk "was at the expense of others . Our limits forbid any detail of this memorable event in Mr . Oastler ' s life . Though eighteen years ago , it is stQl fresh in the memory of many in Leeds , and will never be forgotten , we are persuaded , by those who ^ at that time ? became acquainted with the facts of the

      case . Mr . Oastlek has much to be proud of in bis singularly eventful history ; but were * asked to point to any one circumstance of his whole life , as illustrative of the mental and moral grandeur of the man , we should single cut his bankruptcy in 1820 . Never in this world did any man display more transparency of character—honest , honourable , , and magnanimous voluntary humiliation , than did Mr . Oastleb on the occasion

      beforeHRIn October , 1816 , Mr . Oastler married Mabt Tatham , of ^ Nottingham , of a well-known and much respected family in that town . They have had two children , Robert and Sarah mentioned above , who both died in their infancy . In July ,. 1820 , the year of Mr . Oastler ' s bankruptcy , ; his , father , who had been for many years steward to Mr . Thobxhill , was taken ill and died . Unsolicited and -unexpected by " -Mr .- Oastler , 'Mr . Thobshilxrwrote to him to say , that of course he would succeed his father as resident steward on the Yorkshire estate . This offer Mr . Oastleb accepted ; left Leeds , and in January , 1821 , removed to Fixby , where he has continued ever since .

      Mr . Oastxer has always acknowledged the over ruling hand of Providence in thus dispoang of his intended schemes as to a final settlement in life . Better opportunities and more constant facilities for a practical acquaintance with human nature , in all 4 he varieties of station and condition , in which it can be placed , were never afforded to any more than to Mr . Oastleb . No man has ever availed Tnmgplf of thein ^ when afforded , to better advantage , and for a better purpose , than he has done , as wfll . be hereaflei manifest . Both before and subsequently to the

      year 1820 , Mr . Oastler had the most flattering attentions paid to him by some of the first men in -the mercantile world , and many munificent offers of assistance and co-operation ; but all were respectfully declined . He believed himself called to other work—what that was he could hardly tell—but the presenfenent that he was to be of far greater service to his fellow creatures than a diligent application to business wfll allow , always appears to have followed Mm through life , and to have been practically acted upon , as far as circumstances , from time to time , -would admit . .

      Mt / Oastler ' sprivate character stands not merely unimpeached , but unimpeachable . It is no- exaggeration , but bare truth , when we say , that there is no man lfring of whom less evQ and more goojl maybe said , than of Mr . Oastler . He is every where the fame imm- We never knew any one whose outward aspect underwent so little alteration , from , change of time , place , and circumstance Integr ity , justice , honesty , and truth , are finely blended with unsuspecting frankness , generous , warm-hearted , good old EngSsh feeling , that

      altogether make a man , whom all must both reverence and love . Mr . Oast £ eb has an inexhaustible fund of native humour . There is a dash of fun and frolic even in TiTp more serious pieces , that wins way in spite of all opposition , and disarms , for the time at least , the deadliest and the fiercest of Ms foes . But it is at home that we love Oastler most . He has always been the . beau ideal of the old English character in our imagination . Stern in virtue , inflexibte in purpose , with an instinctive sense of honour , and an apparently blunt ,

      but yet a delicate attention to the wants of all arotind Mm ; indignant at wrong , especially when the wrong is done to another rather than MmselfV-detesting the hypocrite and double dealer , but in every thing « lse , kind , easy , playful , and uniformly the samehe makes Fixb y & happy home to tenantry and servants . At Fixby , too , his social qualities endear Mm more , closely to the many friends who are favoured with Ms more intimate acquaintance . Long may he live , —the man—the husband—and the friend—the love of his country—of all that God has ade .

      In politics , Mr . Oastleb has been a Tory from a child . This is the more remarkable , as all Ms relatives were , and most of them , we believe , still are , Whigs or Liberals . It is not unlikel y that some early association , of which a mind Eke Ms would be peculiarly susceptible , might have given the first Mas and direction to his thoughts , as he began to reflect on political subjects . Such was the fact , whatevermighthave been the cause . So early as 1807 , -when at Wakefield , he was actively engaged

      with Mr . Heist Petebsow on behalf of JWilbertorce and Lasceules . At feat time , "Wilbebforce , the Christian defender of tie injured Negro » was traduced , vilified , and denounced by the Baines party , much in ike same way as Mr . Oastler , the Guisfiaa dianmion . of Ms oppressed countrymen , is misrepresented ^ alandered , and hunted down by that wry ^ ats * HBie party , whbnowhold up Wilberfobck alw ^« w « fl % Mmas anidoI Mr .

      defend the man who advocated the rights of humanity against the hypocritical professions of liberality and ' religion . y : From that period , Mr . Oastler became a Very stirring man in Yorkshire politics , though' never as a mere party man . He has never defended Ms party in any measure which he considered oppressive in principle , and injurious to the general welfare . He indignantly opposed the Tory prosecution of Queen Carouse—on the ground that the King , her accuser , did not come into court with clean hands . The Gagging Bills , and other similar acts of Tory Administrations , Mr . Oastleb always

      condemned and resisted as unconstitutional , arbitrary , and tyrannical . We have never yet seen him shrink from the unwelcome duty of exposing the political inconsistencies of the party to which he belonged , however firmly convinced of Ihe soundness of the principles on which the system , adopted by that party , is supposed to rest , or however warmly attached to the * individuals who , in Ms judgment , have pursued a mistaken and dangerous course . We can give no stronger proof of this than the manner in wMch Mr . Oastler always speaks of the Duke of Wellixgtos , Sir Robert Peel , and other leading Tories , in reference to the New Poor Law . ( To be concluded in our next . )

      PONTEFRACT , Mosd > t , April 2 . These sessions commenced on Monday last , at the Court Honse , Pontefract , before Lord Whabkcliffe andannmerousbod yoftheRidingMagistrates . The business is less this year than for many preceding ones , owing to the establishment of the Sheffield Intermediate Sessions , nevertheless there are 71 prisoners for felony and misdemeanours entered on the calendar for trial . After the Court . was formed , several gentlemen qualified as Magistrates . The following is a list of the GRAND JURY .

      Mr . John Jones , of Wakefield . Foreman Mr . Charles Clapham , Wakefield . Mr . Henry Craven , Ditto . Mr . George Cooke , of PolHngton . Mr . Benjamin Crossland , South Milford . Mr . John Cape , Selby . Mr . George Eccles , Ditto . Mr . W . Hallilay , Snaith . Mr . Thomas Fisher , Selbv .

Henry Richardson , Barnsley . Mr . John Ray , Ditto . Mr . Henry Eadon , Snaith . The Chairmax was happy to inform the gentlemen of the jury that the number of cases for trial less

      were than usual , and they were all of such a nature as to need no special direction from Mm . lhey consisted mostly of cases of petty felony and larceny . He should not therefore occupy their time with any iurther remarks , except giving the usual instructions , which his LordsMp proceeded to do . C . H- Elslet , Esq - the Clerk of the Peace , then called over the fist of Bailiffe . The Noble Chairman directed that those who did not answer to their names should be fined in the usual manner . Five were absent , but two out of nve had a sufficient excuse .

      ^ The Court then proceeded to hear cases of bastardy , which occupied the whole of the day .

      • SUBSIDIARY COURT . _ boon after twelve o ' clock , a subsidiary court was formed , at wMch Mr . Alderson presided . The following cases of felony were disposed of : Thomas Brenyard , aged 42 , was charged with stealing a quantity of hay , at Selby , the property of Samuel Gutteridge . John Weldrick , and another witness , deposed , to seeing the prisoner come out of the prosecutor ' s fold , and that they went and spoke to the prisoner : ne refused to answer , but threw down the hay and went away . Guilty . Two months imprisonment and hard labour . ^ Robert Byitt , 23 , was charged with stealing , at Kippax , a handkercMef , the property of James U Harra . It appeared that on the 29 th of January lastthe went

      ,, prosecutor with Ms master to Kippax Park , on a visit to Mr . Craike . He put Ms handkerchief in the sen-ant ' s hall to dry ; and when he went for it again , it was gone . He questioned the prisoner as to whether he knew any thing of it , and he denied that he did . The stolen article was afterwards found in a gig box , of which the prisoner had the key . Thoa . Davison Bland , Esq . deposed , to asking the prisoner if he knew any thing of the handkercMef , and whether he had the iey of a gig b *\ The prisoner said , he had taken the handkerchief , but he intended to restore it . The handkerchief was a blue and spotted one . It was produced by the constable . The prisoner in defence said , that he took the handkerchief in a lark . Guilty . Four months to hard labour .

      There was another indictrofint , for stealing a handkercMef against the prisoner , but it was not proceeded with . •/ oAn . BarHs , for stealine a pillow-case , and a cap , at Campsall , the property of John Hague . Guilty . To be imprisoned one month with hard labour . John Hirst , 53 , was charged with stealing a quantity of wool , the property of Mr . John Flatman , of M akeheld . —Mr . J . Maude appeared for the prosecution , and stated the particulars , which we published last week . Mr . Maude said , that although the evidence did not go to « how that the wool was taken

      away from the premises , yet it was sufficient to constitute larceny , if it was removed , under suspicious circnmstanees , from one part of the room to the other . The Chairman , in summing up the charge against the prisoner , stated , if the jury believed the prisoner did not enter the warehouse with a felonious intent , they must give Mm the benefit of it : if , on the other hand , they did believe that he entered with a felonious intent , his not taking the wool away should have no influence with them , for if the wool was only removed three inches , it would constitute a felony . Guilty . To be imprisoned four months , with hard labour .

      E f fc jn Mountain pleaded guilty to stealing , at Wakefield , a quantity of knives , forks , and other articles , the property of Wpt . Fortune , of the Saw Inn , Wakefield ; also a cloth shawl , the property of Air . M . Rhode * , of Horbury . —Mr . IxoHAM appeared on behalf of the prisoner . He stated , that in consequence of the prisoner being subject to epileptic fits , his intellect had been impaired , and that it was under the influence of insanity he committed the robberies . Mr . Dtoi-das , for the prosecutors , said he was more subject to collecting fits ; and - if the counsel for the prisoner attempted to prove the innocence of thepnsoner , he must enter into evidence . The Chairmax , after consultine the o'her -mam * .

      trates on the Bench , said that the robberies which 4 e prisoner had effected were too important to let him escape without punishment . After looking with all the leniency they-could on the case , they were of opinion that the prisoner should be committed to the House of Correction . He should recommend the friends of the prisoner to see after his discharge , that he did not go abont the country robbing people ; for if he was ever brought up again he would undoubtedly be transported . ¦ Thomas Inman , 36 , was charged with stealing a boat coyer , at Rothwell , the property of Wm . Singleton and Singleton and Harrison , timber merchants , at Leeds . After the case for the prosecution was £ ?! £ ! £¥ & it was ^ iscovered that the prisoner

      was defended by Sir G . Lewix , who was engaged in a bastardy case in the other Court . The further hearing was therefore postponed .

      in thei sentence .. as he was not wishful the poor girl should be punished too much , though he appeared for the prosecution . The Chairman replied that the sentence did not include hard labour for females . William .

This case finished the business for the day in the second Court .

      HOUSE OF COMaiONS . THURSDAY , . - . March 29 . Mr . FECTOR took the oaths and his seat for Maidstone . . • ¦ The Midland Counties Railway Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed . An immense number of petitions for the total abolition of Slavery were presented . A vast number of petitions ( six hundred and sixty-HCven' in the whole ) for the Abolition of Negro Apprenticeship were preseuted—by Mr . O'Connell , 40 ; Lord Alorpeth , 30 ; Sir George Strickland , 25 ; Mr . Hindley , 26 ; Sir Robert Peel presented seven ; andjmong therh one from Stockpbrt , 25 yards long ; but 8 ir Robot . stated that when intrusted with these petitions , he had distinctly explained that he could not advocate their prayer . Lord Stanley presented petitions from West Indiaproprietors .

      ¦ o , shaU terminate on the 1 st of August , 1838 . " In a long speech , Sir GeoTge laboured to prove that the understanding ol the friends of . the Negro at the time of the passing of the Emancipation Act was , that Slavery was to be abolwhedin deed and in truth . They had the distinct promise of Mr . Secretiry Stanley , that the " condition of theaviprentice * should be precisely that of workmen in England . ' Now , had that promise been kept ? Were the apprentices precisely in the condition of English . workmen ? Sir George quoted numerous statements , chiefly from a narrrative or James Williams , Jormerlv a slave , but now in England , and from a publication by Mr . Sturge , to prove that the apprentices are subject to the most cruel treatment ; and that , in contravention of an express provision of the Emancipation Act , women are barbarously floggeaat the tread null . Sir George dwelt on the impoUcy of freeing one portion of the apprentices and keeDiriir

      the greater number in bondage ; and argued , that this state of society must be attended with serious danger , the result of inevitable irritation at the difference in the condition ofthe two classes of Negroes . ¦ .. - ; Mr . PEASE in seconding the motion , took the same line of argument as Sir George Strickland . He stated a variety of facts to show that the apprentices were allowed an insufficient supply of food ; while tie labour required from them waa excessive ; and the punishments , chiefly by flogging , frequent and dreadfully severe . Pregnant women were forced to work ' till the y could labour no longer ; the consequences of which were miscarriages , and ,, especially in Jamaica , a fearful gap in the population . "Women had given birth to children in the fields , having been refused permission to go home .

      ascertaining tacts , that the apprenticeship or transition state was an evil . Still having entered ihtoa solemn coveBaiitwith the planters , and the term of apprenticeship having approached nearlytpa close , he would not now be a party to its infraction . Lord Howick alsojclaiaed more . consideration than there seemeia disposition to allow foT the very difficult circumstances in which tile planters were placed . They were ordered by Parliament to Mtil duties , which it vras , almost impossible they could perform without reproach . : . Mr . WAI . GLADSTONE delivered a very able speech . He avowedly came forward to vindicate the West Indian proprietors frrom the vague charges soo long imputed to them and they could not have chosen a more able advocate . He relied chiefly on general statements : derived from despatches of goyeTnors and reports of niagiBtrates , which affirmed the prosperity of the Colonies , and the good conduct and contentment of the blacks . He warned members . against crediting all the stories got up against men as humane and honourable as themselves , !'• ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦' . ' . ' ¦' . - : The House divided : —' : ' ..- •'¦"'

In the manufacture of soap the labour was cheaper than in that of most other articles , sind the materialH that were used were expensive . No improvemftnt had | aken place in the lnanulucture or the article since the reign of Queen Anne , and the persons engaged in the trade were subject to many vexatious annoyances . B y the absurd regulations framed in the reign of yueen Anne , the British manufacturer was driven out ofthe = path Anierican markets b y the North Americans and the t rench .
