      BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF RICHARD OASTLER . ( Conttnuedfronioitrlast . ) It was in fiie jear 1 ^ 9 , th « Mr . OiCTtEE ' R att ^ n"lion > a * Jret dnwaed to toe guffisrings , to which thousands of the children of the poor were doomed , under the relentless tyranny of the infernal system of Factory despotism , as then exercised b y the ava -ridoo « and hard-hearted mOIowners of the United * Kingdom . Mr . Jobs Wood , of Bradford , an exiemave and influential manufacturer , lumself deeply Affected by a practical acquaintance with the bane' .-fill effects of Factory ^ labour upon live health and morals of the operatives engaged in it , more especi -aBy those of tender age , most earnestly pressed upon hi « friend Mr . Oastler , the serious ' and attentive / . ..

      study of the subject , jiath the new of enlisting the sympathies of so devoted and zealous a philanthro pist in the caose of oppiessed and ttnprotected infeacy . Mr . Wood ' s humane and benevolent heart -iedhim toppla& 4 ^ cottpucated operations of a « pstem , wHch , perhaps , more than any other has in& ^ iiKrsAuningled misery upon the human race , ^ wherever It has reared its iron head . At once—and withoat any regard to consequences—Mr . Oastleb laid before the public the facts thus disclosed to him ty Mr . lfpoD ^ Sirgle-handed , he rushed- into the nght , and abodft the brant of the battle of xiglite outness and Christiamty , against covetousness and cruelty , under the mask of liberal principle ? and evangelical religion . We need not say how fiercely

      the battle raged . Bm Pastor was not the man to 'ite daunted by difficulty—or overcome by opposition . A * ihe * e thickened and multiplied his heroism rose , ¦ asd more than overtopped them all . Having thus -stepped forward , toe independent and fearless idvocste of these innocent -victims of selfishness jssnd oppression , . his disinterested exertions attracted v ^ be nopce of afew intelligent and patriotic working-• mm who hai associated themselves together in Huddersfield , for a snmlar purpose , A deputation 'from their committee waited upon Mr . Oastu « , -and requested him "to unite and co-operate with ¦ &OB for the accomplishment of their common ¦ hjjwt . This circumstance , -we believe , was the - « BUBencement of Mr . Oakhe&'s connection with

      -oMperative classes ot tins country . He gave them -an oknne of h&rrievs and opinions in religion and politics—made them clearly understand his princip les and position on all the great questions of national interest and importance—and then told them , that if they were wil&ig on this mutual acquaintance with each other ' s sentiments , and without any compromise of tho . se principles on either side , to accept his services , they were heartily welcome to them . A moral treaty wasforthwith concluded , and from that period to the present , Mr . Oastler , a Church and " King ultra-Tory , of the old English school , has been the respected , the beloved , we might sav , the re--vexed friend of the working classes . of England—nor has there ever been the slightest misunderstanding

      -or jealonsy between them onaccount of respective differences of opinion on any question of-religion or . politics . Many attempts nave "been iuade to sow the seeds of division and discord on these groundsbut always without success . Mr . Oastler . never intrud s upon the Radical councils of hi * operative friends—never opposes or thwarts their designs—- ¦ never employs the influence his high pr incipled anil consistent conduct has given him to advance his own interests or increase the powerof his party . There is the best and the most perfect understanding ietween him and the people . They have no secre&s —and consequently no lntrigues- ^ -no dissentient . Tht-yare agreed on one great point—the right of the labourer to the blessings of life and liberty , in

      common with every other class of the community , and are determined never to rest until that right " is acknowledged , and the advantages " resulting from dt firmly secured , solemnly guaranteed , and peacefully -enjoyed .-We cannot follow the steps of Mr . Dastler ^ abng the rough and thorny road he has had to tread during eight or nine vears of unwearied and nn-¦ ceasing agitation in the cause , first of the Babes ¦ systematically slaughtered in those real temples of Moloch—the " Factories ¦ of this Christian c "untrrand afterwards in the general question—growing -out of this particular one—of the rights of labouras invaded by . the false and destructive principles of of our modern theories of political economy- Air .

      Dastleb ' s history , since the year 1829 , became so connected with the history oi" the state and condition of the British labonrer , that it would be in vain to attempt even a sketch of it in the space to -jrHch we are necessarily confined . It will be more -interest ing and more instructive to advert to one or -two incidents in his Hfe , in order to shew how admirably he was schooled , and how completely be was furnished for the arduous undertaking , to which he was appointed . Without a thorough knowledge of human nature in general , and an intimate acquaintance with the modes ef thinking—habits of life , and other distinguishing traits in the character of the humbler classes in particular , it would have been utterly imoossible for any man to have

      accomplished one tithe of what Mr . OiSTLEB has achieved . All this important material for public usefulness he was already possessed of before he came upon the stage of factory * agitation . From very early Bfe , jVlr . Oastixr had accustomed himself to associate with all classes of general society , from a strong desire he felt to understand their respective modes of life , that he might be able to solve the mysterious problem of human natnre , as found existing in a community composed of so many ranks and degrees of men . The most interesting of those variousciasses he found ¦«> be the poorer , and more despised , and neglected ¦ clas-i . His immediate and more familiar , practical acquaintance with the poor began in the" enquiries which he personally made into their circnm ^ tances

      during one or two distinct periods of contagious disease and general distress . When quite a boy , he became known t ) Michael Tho 3 ias Sadler , " who was as much , distinguished for the activity of bis private benevolence , as he afterwards became for his . irablic patriotism , in the advocacy of the Ten Hours' Factory Bifl . Along with Sadler , he visited the * Tetched poor of Leeds , during an awfully conla&ous typhus fever , then raging with fearful violence . "That great and good man went into the tilthiest and most loathsome hovels of the poor for-• saten outcasts , whom their own neighbours andrela-• tious were afraid to approach , and . vrth young

      Oastlxb . performed every oSice of attendant and nurse , until he had inspired others with confidence and humanity to take his place . In ] 816 a year of general scarcity and destitution , Mr . Oastler and a few other benevolent individuals undertook tie" task of vLdting and relieving all who were in distress and want . Several hundred pounds were enrrastrd by the humane and benevolent of Leeds to their management ior this purpose . They pfirformod the arduous duty—the blessing of those who were ready to perish came upon them—and their fellow townsmen publicly thanked them £ > r the manner in ifhich they had discharged so laborious and self-< Jenving a duty .

      This kind of friendship with the poor has continued throughout Mr . Oastlxr ' s whole life . He knows them thoroughly , and they know him . Muvoal respect and confidence has been " the result . That confidence and respect has been gradually increased by liis uniform adherence . to principle—his unwavering resolution—undaunted courage—and unalterable fidelity to the cause he has espoused , and the object he has in view . We neve * yet" found Oastler tampering with the people . He has never ceased them—never flattered them—never tried to inould them to any private or political purpose . Nor has lie ever feared them . He has always stood before them—the same roan be ever was- ^ has openly and faithfully told them wherein he may have thought them wrong—and what he thought it would ba r ight for them to do . He has always loved them —and shewn his lore , by striving to do " them all the . good he has had it in his power to do them .

      It max be mentioned , as an amusing , if not a rejanrk atle , coincidence , that during the Luddite reign of terror , Mr . Oastleb was doing duty three nights a week < ra the Leedt watch and ward establishment , ii the T § ry tfine when Swats of Huddersfield , was macbine-breakinjj and rioting . Oastleb is now called an incendiary—and Swaix is . patronised by her . Majesty ' s ministers ! This same incendiary Oastler ins twice risked his life in cases of dangerous fire—one of these cases a factory , which but for his exertions would most likely have been -destroyed !

      -As soon as Mr . Oastleb began to advocate the cause of the suffering factory children , he became the batt against which were aimed the poisoned shafts of every species of malevolence and hatred . It was more than the Tannting professor of extreme ^ aactity in reEgion aad exclusive liberality in politics . could Bear , toie convicted of a worse than Russian despotism at his own door—a worse" than Heathen idolaJry in his own sanctuary—a worse thin brutish cruelty towards the children of his owrirfelfo-sr christians"T They could not brook : such a thm art Vie iash" kind of application of the principles of truth aad righteousness , which had « i long been their ftmjliw boast . Hence the mali gnity—toe deadly a dignity with which Mr . Oastler has been pursued by the ( Xrorftas worshippers of mammon and ot moloch . But thtdr wrath , instead of hurtine him .

      against whom it was levelled , has rebounded upon i-iemselves . Most of onr readers have heard Mr , Oastler styled the , ^ King , ' ' . without perhaps being - asrare of the origin of sj- august a title . _ It was first ^¦ -ypaedto bim in derision -and contempt b y Mr . -Bacczs , veto thought to laugh Ae Ten ^ Hours Bill and its advocates to scorn , ' - ¦ .

      Baixes' dension has become the " Ki . \ u" of the people's love and spontaneous homage . "We ought not to oriiit-in these minor details of eveuts growing out of Mr . Oastler ' s uucompn > mising defence of the working class whose cause he had espoused , the frequent necessity he was under , of exposing die iypocricy of tiie * sanctimonious profes « or of religion , who under the cloak of piety , was , in reality , a monster of imparityoppression and deceit . This , as an almost-natural consequence , produced him many bitter personal enemies , one gentleman , Mr . Wiluam Moore , of Huddersfield , stung by the effect of some disclosures .. .

      made by Mr . Oastler , was ill advised enough to bring an action against bin and thus give him an opportunity of justifying bis attack and proving the truth of his charges . This cause excited much interest , and Mr . Oastler conducted his own defence in a . manner which would reflect no discredit on the first counsel at the Bar . He so well satisfied a Special Jury of the truth of his charges that f thougb the law of libel obliged them to find for the plaintifF , even granting the allegations to be trne ^ they assesi » ed the damage of Mr . Moore's reputation , which he valued at £ 1000 , at the very moderate sum of one farthing .

      In asserting the right of the Factory Children to Parliamentary protection , Mr . Oastler ' s ingenuous and upright mind could not stoop to avail itself of the assistance which the temporising policy of modem morals , under the equivocal designation of expediency , prudence , and moderation , has not only sanctioned , but almost rendered indispensable in the attainment of any great political object . Sir . Oastler turned with icdignation and contempt from the man , who would attempt to argue the question ot the comparative healthiness of Factory and field labour—the ^ superior strength , and vigour of the Factory operative , whose occupation , under strict confinement , severe discipline , and the most noxious influences of every kind , especially if

      Drotracted to the thirteenth or fourteenth hour of every day , was so conducive to the | development of his physical and the expansion of his mental powersso productive of social enjoyment , domestic comfort , and every other blessing of freedom and independence—and so fertile a sonrce of wealth as to furnish the most abundant provision for the wants of a truly venerable old age . With such men Mr . Oastler disdained to reason . He simply asked whether it was right before God , that lrrae children of seven , eight , or nine years of ag _ eshould be worked , amidst the heat , stench , and dm of a Factory , and under the lash of its savage task-master for twelve , and sometimes eighteen hours a day ? He asked the ministers of Christ to tell him whether it was right ? He called upon those high in authority to sav whether it -wasright ? Hejjut to the father s heart -Mo the mother ' s bosom . He left it with naturewith justice , and with religion , to returjfcthe answer

      —and upon these simple , but irresistiRe facts he grounded his claim to legislative shelter and protection for the . innocent and defenceless Factory Child . It may seem startling to such of our readers , as never heard a Factory bell—never saw a Factory population , and never felt the torped stench of Factory influence , that any considerable portion of t =: eir fellow countrymen are to be found enduring all the horrors of actual slavery , in the midst of so much anxiety and sensitiveness about slavery abroad ; and stiU more incredible , that when the mournful truth is addressed to th < 3 piety and phikmthropy of a Christian people , so far from exciting their sympathy or arousing indignation , the only effect it produces is that of revenge and implacable resentment towards tke benevolent individuals , who have had the courage totakeup the cause of the widow , to plead for the fatberlHss . and to defend the oppressed poor . 1 ot so it . hus been , and so it still is .

      There have been comparatively few who have had the courage to take up this qni'stiou of humanity and religion on its own intrinsic merits , and of those few , oue and another have bent beneath the combined influence which the sub til ty , the craft , or the rage of Mammon has successfully brought to bear upon them . It has been Mr . Oastlkr ' s lot to act in concert with every great and good man , who , since the year 1829 , has enlisted under the banner of mercy ag-unst the hosts of Mammon , and to witness in turn tbe faintheartedness , or the cowardice of most of his otherwise esteemed and respected coadjutors . He , uumoved and undaunted , has gone right onward , as heedless of the impediments thrown in his way by timidfty , or tersgi ^ rsarion of friends , as of the inveterate " and malignant oppressioa of determined foes .

      Since the death of Nathaniel Gould , without except ing the noble-minded Sadler , and without disparagemenr to the ablest and most devoted of the living friends of this holvcause , we consider Richard Oastler as emphatically the father of the Factory Child . To him—more than to all beside—th ' e deeply injured class of Juvenile Factory Operatives is indebted for the partial amelioration in their conoition that has already taken place—and for the prospect of complete emancipation-4 hat will yet be realized—and we confidently hope—at do very dlstantperiod .

      Absorbed as Mr . Oastler ' s mind must have been with the charge of a question of this magnitude and importance , it might have been supposed that he had no leisure to attend to other subjects of national interest . But this was far from being the case . There was one question brought before the notice of Parliament , which he at once perceived to involve not merely the independence ot the poor , but the securi ty of the property of all classes , and the very existence of the ancient and venerable institutions of the country . We refer to the inquiry instituted by the new Whig Administration , into the state of the laws for the relief of the poor , with a view to some entirely new and unprecedented system of Malthusian experimentin that department of

      Lerislatioa . To this momentous subject Mr . Oastler applied all the power of his strong and rigorous intellect . He saw that if the measure , projected by his Majest y ' s Ministers , should unfortunately become the law of the land , Revolution , Anarchy , and Bloodshed must inevitably follow : —and to prevent the dreadful consequences of a Bill , which established a most cruel and hateful despotism in the place of the old domestic management of parochial affairs , —a despotism undefined , and without any limits to the exercise of its unconstitutional anthor ity , —which avovredly declared its stern determination to compel the people of this country to live on a coarser kind ot food , —to submit to a gradual rednction of wages , until reduced to the

      destitution and squalid wretchedness of their Irish brethren . —and to bend their necks to a voke which their fathers had never worn , and which' they could not wear and live . To prevent the consequences of so fiendlike a measure , Mr . Oastler , having fruitlessly endeavoured to check its progress through the Gammons , took a journey to London , pnrposely to expostulate , remonstrate , and plead with the most influential members of the Upper House , in the hope that the chivalry and patriotism of the nobles of Britain would not be addressed in vaiu . Amongst others , he argued the question with his Grace the Ihike of Wellington , but without success . His Lordship was pledged—and Oastler then turned to the people—if haply—the country mi ^ ht yet Tie saved . e

      . In Oastler ' s love of Old England , the ancieut and hereditary aristocracy are not " forgotten . He regards the order of nobility with a respect bordering on venerat ion , associating with the idea all that is noble in birth—lofty in principle—heroic in spirit— -generous in sentiment , and dignified in the most exalted attributes of human character . To the Batons of England he has always looked for the chivalrous and high-spirited defence of the ancient institutions of the State—the sacred rights of the Church , and the equally sacred and still more ancient liberties of the people , especially the poor and the oppressed . We know ofno man who has expressed his opinions with more boldness on behalf of the privileges of the Church , the Aristocracy , and the Crown , than Mr . Oastler . No man has suffered more for his

      independent support of the Aristocracy ; but nothing he was ever called upon to suffer , afflicted him so deeply a * the callousness and indifference he fonnd in the breasts of Noble Lords , when this great question of th * rights of the poor was under discussion . The apathy and unconcern , to give it no harsher name , manifested by the Bishops and by the Barons of the Upper House , with but few most honourable exceptions , was to Mr . Oastler a source of poignant sorrow and regret . From that time he saw clearly that God alone could rescue the nation from impending nun , by inspiring the people—the poor , despised , afflicted people—with hope , courage , and unconquerable resolution . Then commenced that career of « agitation" for the repeal of the New i i wcicn

      -oor , aw , has parahzed the high and mighty conspirators against the liberty of taeir oppressed country , and made Commissioners and Government , m spite of their haughty and supercilious contempt lor the "ri ghte of the poor , to pause in their daring march of despotism and desolation . That Mr . Oastles , in common with every other active enemy of this accursed law , should naive ' " become the subject of every species of annoyance and j > ersecution , which impotent revenge and baffled msdice coald devise ,- is not to be wondered at . Thank God , he yet lives , a little worse in body , but unscathed by any of tile fierjr darts | 5 f the enemies of God and man , who . imperiously defy the will of heaven from the high places of the earth . Having

      tried every method , which the constitution sanctions , to obtain a hearing for the peaceful , patient , aud oppressed people , ne now waits to see , what new aspect win be given to this : awfully " momentous question , and stands prepared , ' with a smell but devoted band of coajutors , for whatever e * ent the-God of justice and mercy may have ordained iofbflow . ' . The leading object of Mr . Oastlbr ' s public life is to bring the rich and" the poor to" " understand , respect anc esteem one another—to remove the ignorance—dLslod gv- the prejudice—and allay the jealousy mutually existing between them : and to effect a union of the wise and good of all ranks and of all parties for the common advantage of society at large ; In this difficult enterprise he Tiad not been altogether unsuccessful . His integrity of

      character , and patient perseverance have suriiiouutetl a thousand obstacles . Every day brings in soiue fre ? Ii and encouraging proof of the sauudiWs !* of his views , und the benefit to all classes arising from the adoption of his principles , on thefirst and fundamental axiom in the Christian theory of national prosp erity , namely , the right of the labourer to a lair , full , and independent remuneration , in exchange for the services ne has rendered to the State . On this principle , as a rallyipg point for ; all parties . Mr . Oabtler has been twice called upon to offer himself .. ,

      a candidate for the repre » ntatiou of the Borough of Huddersfield . Thnt contest has commenced a new em in the history of elections of persons qualified to represent the people in the Commons ' : House of Parliament . We witnessed these two struggles ; and though Huddersfield has always been considered a Whig nomination borough , vre very confidently predict Mr . Oabtler ' * ret 0 " for that place , whenever another opportunity occurs for the nch and the poor to unite their moral and numerical strength in his behalf . , ' ¦ ¦ -

      ¦ Mr . Oastler is a voluminous writer ^ atld for subr je ' ct , style , language , and the pervading spirit of his compositions , deservedly one of the most popular and the most useful writers , of the day . In his- 'Letters to the Duke of Wellingtony" >' Fact « and Plain Words , " " Right of the Poor to Liberty and Life ^ ' as well as in many other political works Mr . Oastler has nt set forth his general view with a clearness , force , energy , and warmhearted earnestness ^ rarely equalled , and never surpassedV The amazing readiness and rapidity with whic his pen can record the stirring emotion of his ever active mind is truly astonishing , especially to those who are aware of the variety and extent of his epistolary correspondence regularly maintained with individuals , of all ranks in life , to whom Mr . Oastler . freely communicates his thoughts on pass ^ ing events ofinterestandimportance . Mr , Oastler ' s style is vehement , impassionedand full of the

      , native , fire of an ardent and generous mind . He comes at once to the point , and insists upon it ; drags \ his opponent to the pbiut , aud compels him to admit it , or to appear the most iinreasonable of men , as weif as the most inhuman and unchristian . His compositions want correctness—polish— -niid classic finish .. They are rough—sometimes rugged a . d harsh—but always true—always aiming at goodand therelore sure to be read—and leave good inir pressions behind them . This is allhe ainis ati H « makes no profession of scholarship—and never attempts to appear more than he r e ally-ii—klid . He' in every inch a man . He is ulsp a powerful and persuasive speaker—few men having an equal power of beariug along the feelings of an audience aud rivetting their attention to the precise point on whichihe desires to fix it . He ' is also exceedingly ready iit repartee .

      Mr . Oastler is no metaphysician—no reasoner — seldom attempts an argument , but for a statement ot facts—an array of bold and impressive truthsan apueal to the warm and genuine feelings bt unsophisticated nature , and a thundering broadside opened upon the strong hold of selfishness , tyranny hypocrisy , and vice , he is beyond any living man we ever heard . Heuce his influence , his authority ^ aud his power with the poople for their good . When Mr . Oastler has once taken a positionwhich he never does without great deliberation , nor , when practicable , without consultation ' with practical men vf all kinds—he is not easily r .-inoved from it . His decisiveness and

      determination sometimes gives an appearance -of : harshness and stubbornness to' whas is only the result of a nrm belief iu the correctness of the views he lias thus been led to adopt . On-the : whole , the qualities of his mind and heart eminently fit hinv for the arduous task which Providence has assigned to him , and which he endeavours to fulfil as one who will hereuiter have to give an account . We are not blind to the defjjets or th « exuberance * of Ws native character ; but we loo * round in vain—taking him Jor all iu all—for one that would have accoirii plished what he has—at great loss and through much persecution , achieved on behalf of oppressed and suffering humanity . . ' ¦; That God may long spare his valuable life ,, and make that life still more serviceable to the people of this cinutry , is the prayer of the writer ot this imperfect sketch , who tia-s now known its suHjefct for more than two years , and loves him more than he loves any living man .

      CARMARTHEN WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION . Mr . H . Williams delivered his last lecture for tlie season ou the 28 th ult ., at the room , to a crowded assembly on the subject of primary , social , and conventional principles , whicu lie stated required only to >* e simplified aud rxplained , to be understood by every capacity capable of reflecting beyond its immediate necessities . I le proceeded tu define that social princtples meant indi % idunl iwtereste , dejiliiigsj and intercourse—distinct from the general or public interests of society- ^ -that conventional principles meant precedent inherent rig / its inseparable from the interests of society in the mass , independent iff delegated powers consequent upon itt constituting

      representation—that politics , m its accey , ted -and accustomed sense , meant general government , comprising the inlemnl and foreign affairs of a Whole community—or of the " people" en maste ; which should therefore conduce to and have for its only object the well beiug of social interests founded on equal basis —for that this must be so taken , if . we assumedand though it was in practice merest humbug , it was * o assumed , even badly constituted aud governed as this country was , —if we assumed to govern by the general voice or sense of the majority ; a rulequalir ned and covertly perverted in practice by the two leading parties hitherto wielding alternately the public atlairs and destinies of this countrj- —that politics , in such their ordinary sense , appertained to

      or comprised in the representative and executive government—that a conventional compact of the whole community , that is the voluntary tree assent , of the major part of the community , should form tie constitution ; authorizing and coiitrouliiig the action of government . . He commented hi ijlustratiou of his premises ou the iue ' fncient and iucompatible material of the present House of Commons , and of the infamous perversion of Whig professions in the swindling Reform Bill—that there was hardly a v-ozen solid Radicals iu that rotten prostituted recepcle—that five hundred at least of the number could be advantageonsly spared ; that it contained uu infinitely greater mass of general iguorauce than the same given number of mechanics taken even

      indiscriminately in this and as well many other of the countries of Europe . Then ; . > s to corruption , all comparison ceased ; it fairly distanced ail competitioii , all calculation on that score . He meant positive corruption , iu subjecting generally speaking all public questions which they could be made to entertain to party or individual interests;—or negative turpitude in giving tht go by , or den / ing all progressive popular changes , and they had got it iato their heads that a lolty bearing , numbers aud wealth , forma sort of fashiouable panopy to screen them from pubnc obloquy and contempt—society being detached and divided by means of an even succession of wicked governments , these men formed a world of their own—party spirit countenanced all species

      oi subservient Jrauds—while the tvro dominant factions waited in a contumelious disregard of the public mind—we at present possessed no check whatever on public conduct , or against wilful miscarriage or neglect , a p rinciple indispensable to the due discharge of all situations of trust . He took a passing glance at affairs across the Atlantic—at the Canadas—that the insurrection in that country had been one not of party , but of principle , the spirit of which would daily increase notwithstanding that an expensive aristocratic machinery in the shape of a quondum—sham Radical was about to be ushered over with a lavish retinue—the slave livery of his domestics , the fag end of his tail , costing seveuty pounds a piece , and an imposing body of some 12000 soldiery—of hired obedient instru

      , , passive- - ment to back his decrees '; which wo ^ d so far earry with them very forcible reasons . It was deplorable to think that this man would be also accompanied with unblushing arragance , by a train of so called " senators "—it was doubly deplorable , it was disgraceful , that the state of reprenentation should be such as that the public voice even contracted as it still continued , should be thus filched ; as was the case for instance when De Lacy Evans went over on a mercenary expedition for two whole years to Spain , to serve the cause of Whig legitimacy , iti the shape of a profligate woman and a depraved government , against an incorrigible bigot , but preferable to be endured as the less invidious of the two evils . — What but a sordid middle class constituency would suffer the public voice to be thus stifled , to nleasp nr

      serve the ambition or cupidity of a character who could be guilty of such delinquency ? Working men would treat it with cpntemp ^ would lau ^ it to scorn . Even ^ misfortune i . it excused the individual , should not be admitted to dispense with the due discharge , of public dutie * , but voluntary absence or remissneas under whatever plea—above all a bad one , should be pontively denounced . Mr . W . doubted-that-colonies except on a very Ihiiited scale ! and that as a prospective ultimate resource in case of warfare ( but war would cease with the domination of aristocracy ) could contribute to the wealth of nationit . —That our colonies had added iinmfimplv

Odd Fellowship . —On Good Friday last , the brethren of the Loyal Benevolent Lodge , No . 62 , of the Manchester Unity , held their eighteenth anniversary tit the Black Eagle , Hyde ; when upwards of 20 Q of its members partook of an excellent dinner , provided by the worthy ho t , Mr . Joshua Shawcross , in his usuul good style . On the ' . cloth , being drawn , many excellent songs and glees were given by Messrs . Hyde and Co ., and the greatest eon viviality prevaile'd ; a most excellent address was also delivered hy iF' ' Geor ? e Harrison , on the bright prospects of the Order , and the benevolent design of its memhtirs , in forming funds for the relief of the widows and orphans of the deceased members . The harmony and sentiment of the evening was kept up till a late hour , when the whole company separated , highly gratified with the evening ' s entertainment .

      Mn . Aci . and in Hyde . —During the past week , Mr . Acland , of Bristol , Hull , and Stockport celebrity , la : te editor of the North Cheshire Reformer , appeared for two evenings in Hyde as a public lecturer on the New Poor Law ; maintainingits transcendent merits as compared with any former system of Poor Laws . His poor attempts at sophistrv and witticism were sorely probed by Mr . Sidebottom , who exhibited the profundity of Mr . Acland ' wisdom and the extent of his information on the subject of his lectures , so palpably , that the poor lecturer was perfectly flabbagasted , and " looked unutterable things . " "We feel some little curiosity to know whether old Dorc& 3 Miller , of Bristol , may have found her way into one of those blessed asylums offered to the '' destitute" by Mr . Acland ' s pet " law ;

      or whether the victim of heartless treachery has found a better asylum in the grave . Then there is Hunt of Hull , top ; it is really provoking that the obstinate fellow seems bent on rejecting the comforts of the blessed New Poor Law , in spite of all the efforts of his ' < friends" to put him into a condition for , being glad of them . This is a pity , because it might have enabled Mr .-Acland , in his future lectures , to instance the mild efficacy of thetnew law , in the cases of those individuals with whoWwe have been given to understand he had once Wme little personal intimacy .

      Bradford Wool Market , April 20 . ^ - The demand for wool has been very limited during the last week , which has had a little influence in the prices- ^ -not sufficient , however , to produce any material change in our quotatibngi The stocks of wool are gtadually decreasing , and should the least improvement in the demand arise , p ' ricea ^ will ^ materially advance . The report of a large house in the trade says , "During the week we have had a few

      more inquiriesi forwool , butwe cannot yet see any change for the better- —the prices offered are generally lower than the same quality could be replaced for . . As the stocks in the stajpler ' 8 hands h ' aye lately increased , and Rome of them finding it incpliyenient tp hold have submitted to low prices ^ which will tend to injure the sale of wool in the hands of those who are not willing to take the present price , nevertheless we hope prices will be no lower .
