      . BICHABD . OASTLER . ( Continued from our last . ) - He coald not "bear the idea of going into trade , and -was gresfly embarrassed in the choice of a congenial profession , haiing been thus flrwaried in the favourite object of his genius and ambition . He was at last articled to Mr . Charms Watson , an eminent arehitec ^ then of Wakefield , and afterwards of York . This profession Mr . OiCTLEa was obliged soon after to reHnquish , in consequence of a--weakness in his sight This occasioned him fresh disappointment and regret .

      Twice baffled in the plans he had formed for bis future Efe , he abandoned all similar expectations , and'al once made up bis mind to go into business . He | began as a Corinnission Agent , and , by the steady appEcation of ; bis naturally active and-rigorous mind , rose gradnaDy into deservedly nigh . credit and respectability as ) a tradesman . Itwasnotlong before be ranked amongst the principal merchants in Leeds ^ -rrespected for his sterling integrity and honour , and considered as one "whose superior talents for business would shortly raise their pos sessor to affluence and distinction . But the expectations ~ of- his friends were to be frustrated in this

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

      offers of credit and asastauce . He was in ne want of either money or credit at the time , but did not think he could , and , therefore , would not , as an honest man , run the slightest risk , when that risk Tras 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 still 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 . Oastles has much to be proud of in his singularly eventful history ; but were we asked to point to any one circumstance of his whole life , as iDnstratire of the mental and moral grandeur of the man , we should single cut his bankruptcy in 1820 . Never in tins world did any man display more transparency of character—honest , honourable , > and magnanimous voluntary humiliation , than did Mr . Oastler on the occasion beforexiB . ' - .

      In October , 1816 , Mr . Oastler married Mary Tathasi , 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 . Tsorxhtll , was taken ill and died . Unsolicited and "Unexpected tj Mr .- 0 AsnER , * Mr . Thorshillr wrote to him to say , that of course he would succeed his father as resident steward on the Yorkshire estate . This offer Mr . Oastler accepted ; left Leeds , and in January , 3821 , removed to Fishy where he has continued ever since .

      MrJ Oastler has always acknowledged the over rnlinghand of Providence in thus disposing of his intended schemes as to a final settlement in life . Better opportunities and more constant facilities for -& practical acquaintance with hum an nature , in all 4 he varieties of station and condition , in which it can beplaced , weTenever afforded to any more than to Mr Oastler . No man has ever availed himself of them , when afforded , to better advantage , and ior a better purpose , than he has done , as wfll . be hereafter 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 beneved himself called to other -work—what that was he could hardly tell—but the presentment that he was to be of far greater service to his fellow creatures than a diligent application to buaness will allow , always appears to have followed him through life , and to have been practically acted upon , as far as circumstances , from rime to time , ¦ would admit . -

      Mr . Oastler ' s private character stands not merely unimpeached , but unimpeachable . It is no- exaggeration , but bare truth , when we say , that there is no Tnnn living of whom less evil and more goojd maybe said , than of Mr . Oastler . He is every where the same man . We never knew any one whose outward aspect underwent so litfle alteration , from change of time , place , and circumstance . Integrity , justice , honesty , and truth , are finely blended with unsuspecting frankness , generous , warm-hearted , good old English 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 his more serious pieces , that wins way in spite of all opposition , and disarms , for the time at least , the deadliest and the fiercest of his foes . Bntitis at home that we love Oastler most , He has always been the . beau ideal of the old English character in pur imagination . Stern in virtue , inflexible in purpose , with an instinctive sense of hononij and an apparently blunt

      but yet a delicate attention to the wants of all around him ; indignant at wrong , especially when the wrong is done to another rather than himself-r-detesting the hypocrite and double dealer , but in every thing else , kind , easy , playful , and uniformly the samebe make ? Fixby a happy home to tenantry and servants . At Fishy , too , his social qualities endear him more , closely to the many friends who are favoured "wi&r 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

      In politics , Mr . Oastleb has been a Tory from a chfld . This is the more remarkable , as all his relatives were , and most of them , we believe , st in are , Whigs or Liberals . It is not unnkely that » ome early association , of which a mind Eke his would be peculiarly susceptible , might have giTen the first lias and direction to his thoughts , as he began to reflect on political subjects . Such was the fact , whatevermighthave been the cause . So earl y as 1807 , -when at Wakefield , he was actively engaged with . Mr . Hetrt Peterson on behalf of

      Wilber-Tobce and Lascelles . At thai time , Wilbebfobce , the Christian defender of the injured Negro , was traduced , -vilified , and denounced by the Baiices party , mnch in the same way as Mr . Oastleb , the Christian champion of his oppressed countrymen , is misrepresented ^ slandered , and hunted down by that rerj self-same paity , who nowholdTip Wilberforck a h * ro , at worship Urn as an idol Mr .

      M————¦^ 1^—¦—defend the man who advocated the rights of humanity against Uie hypocritical professions of liberality and religion ; « r : From that period , Mr . Oastler became a Very stirring man in Yorkshire politics , though never as a mere party man . He has never defended his party in any measure which he considered oppressive in principle , and injurious to the general welfare . He indignantly opposed the Tory prosecution of Queen Caroline—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 . Oastler 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 the soundness of the principles on which the system , adopted by that party , is supposed to rest , or however warmly attache *! to the " individuals who , in his judgment , have pursued a mistaken and dangerous course . We can give no stronger proof of this than the manner in which Mr . Oastler always speaks of the Duke of Wellingtox , Sir Robert Peel , and other leading Tories , in reference to the New Poor Law . ( To be concluded in our next . )

      PONTEFRACT , Mond / t , April 2 . These sessions commenced on Monday last , at the Court House , Pontefract , before Lord Wharjicliffe andanumerousbodyoftheRidingMagistrates . The business is less this year than tor many preceding ones , owing to the establishment of the Sheffield Intermediate Sessions , nevertheless there are 71 prisoners for frlony and misdemeanours entered oh 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 Pollington . Mr . Benjamin Crossland , South Mllford . Mr . John Cape , Selby . Mr . George Eccles , Ditto . Mr . W . Hallilay , Snaith . Mr . Thomas Fisher , Selbv .

      Mr . Joseph Jennings , Wakefield . Mr . Richard Long , Ambleton . Mr . W . iffiam . Lister , Halifax . Mr . Richard Lumb , Ditto . Mr . Charles Milne , Ditto . Mr . Thomas Nicholl , Ditto . Mr . Henry Richardson , Bamsley . Mr . John Ray , Ditto . Mr . Henry Eadon , Snaith . The Chairmax was happy to inform the gentlemen of the jnry that the number of cases for trial

      were less than usual , and they were all of such a nature as to need no special direction from him . They 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 Lordship proceeded to do . C . H . Elslev , Eso - the Clerk of the Peace , then called over the Hst of Bailiffs . The Noble Chairjiax directed that those who did not answer to their names should be fined in the usual manner . Five were absent , but two ont of five had a sufficient excuse .

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

      SUBSIDIARY COCRT . Soon after twelve o ' clock , a subsidiarv court was formed , at which Mr . Alderso * presided . The following cases of felony were disposed of : T / tomas Brenyara , 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 thatthey went and spoke to the prisoner : he 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 handkerchief , the property of James O'Harra . It appeared that on the 29 th of January last , the prosecutor went with his master to Kippax Park , on a visit to Mr . Craike . He put his handkerchief in the servant ' 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 pr isoner had the key . Thos . Davison Bland , Esq . deposed , to asking the prisoner if he knew any thing of the handkerchief , and whether he had the key of a gig box . The prisoner said , he had taken the handkerchief , bnt 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 . Gnilty . Fonr months to hard labour .

      There was another indictment , for stealing a handkerchief against the prisoner , but it was not proceeded with . JokhBarns , forstealing a pillow-case , and acap , at Campsall , the property of John Hague . Guilty . To be imprisoned one month with hard labour . John Hirst s , was charged vrith stealing a quantity of wool , the property of Mr . John Flatman , of Wakefield . —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 sn » -picious circnmstances , 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 him 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 labonr .

      Edwin Mountain pleaded guilty to , stealing , at Wakefield , a quantity of knives , forks , and other articles , the property of Wn > . Fortune , of the Saw Inn , Wakefield ; also a cleth shawl , the property of Mr . W . Rhode !? , of Horbnry . —MhIxgham appeared oh behalf of the prisoner . He stated , that in consequence of tlie 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 . Dcndas , for the prosecutors , said he was more subject to collecting fits ; and- if the counsel for the prisoner attempted to prove the innocence of theprisoner , he must enter into evidence . The Chairman , after consulting the other

      magistrates on the Bench , said that the robberies which the 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 Ms discharge , that hfe did not go abont the country robbing people ; for if he was ever brought op again he would undoubtedly be transported . ¦' . - " Thomas Inman , , was charged with stealing a boat cover , at Rothwell , the property of Wm . Singleton and Singleton and Harrison , timber merchants , at Leeds . After the case for the prosecution was partly gone into , it was discovered that the prisoner

      was delended by sir fcr . Lewix , who was engaged in a bastardy case in the other Court . The further hearing was therefore postponed . Jesse Holmes , 24 , was charged with stealing a quantity of knives and forks , the property of Mr John Magg , manufacturer , Broomhall-street , Sheffield , on the 29 th March last . To be imprisoned for three months , with hard labour . Ann Sykes was charged with stealing at Sheffield , several handkerchiefs , the-property of Mr . George Shepherd , pawnbroker . The prisoner ' s father spoke to her character , and stated that she had always l > een a dutiful daughter . Gnilty , but recommended to to mercy . To be confined for one month . Mr . Duxdas enquired whether hard labour was included

      in the 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 Brown pleaded Guilty to stealing a pair of trousers at Shefiield , the property of George Foster , tailor and draper . ' To _ be confined for one month with hard labour . This case finished the business for the day in the second Court The following are the principal of the sentencesup to Wednesday night , which we give in consequence of being unable to furnish a longer report , an unexpected press of advertisements and other important

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . THURSDAY , i&ARCH 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 petitioHs ( six hundred and sixty-rfeven in the whole ) for the Abolition of Negro Apprenticeship were presented—by Mr . O'Connell , JO ; Lord JHorpeth , 30 ; Sir George Strickland , 25 ; Mr . Hindley , 26 ; Sir Robert Peel presented seven . ; anjyunong theih one from Stockpbr ( , 2 b yards long ; but 8 b Robot . stated that when intrusted with these petitions , he had distinctly explained that he could riot advocate their prayer . Lord Stanley presented petitions from West Indiaproprietors . . . Sii GEORGE STRICKLAND then rose to move , " That this House is of opinion that the Apprenticeship in the British Colonies , established by the 3 rd ana 4 th of Wm . IV . chapter

      73 , shall terminate on the 1 st of August , 1838 . " . In a long speech , Sir George laboured to prove that the understanding of the Mends of . the Negro at the time of the passing of the Emancipation Act was , that Slavery was to be abolished in deed and in truth . They had the distinct promise of Mr . Secretiry Stanley , that the " condition of the apprentice ! should be precisely that of workmen in England . ' * Now ,, had that promise been kept ? / Were the apprentices precisel y . in the condition of English . workmen ? Sir George quoted numerous statements , chiefly from a narrrative of James Williams , formerly 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 , womeu aTe barba * ronsly flogged at the tread null . Sir George dwelt on the impolicy of freeing one portion of the apprentices and keeping the crftater number in bondaee ; and arcued , that this state

      of society must be attended -with serious danger , the result of inevitable irritation at the difference in the condition of the 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 tae labour required from them was ex ^ cessrve ; 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 miscarriagea , 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 . In Demerara , the hospitals were places of punishment Mr . Pease became so overpowered by aia feelings that he was unable to proceed , whilstlond cheers Tesounded from all sides . Pf ^~^^ % ^^^ t ^ n ^^|«* j * 4 4 - « r « i .

He was perfectly aware of the strong feeling . which existed in this country in favour of the change proposed in Sir George StricklandJr xwolntion ; bnt he felt it nig duty to resist this feeling ; and he would move as an amendment , " That ihe _ order of the day for , the second reading of the slavery abolition act amendment bill be now read . ;' At the conclusion of Sir George Gray's speech , the debate was adjourned , on the motion of Mr .

Thislast statement respecting Lord Brougham was confirmed by Lord HO WICK ; who declared that Cord Brougnam » s oppomiion was fatal to hw own plan for the abolition of slavery without any Intermediate stage .- Lord Howick professed his . adherence to . his former opinion , which he had only arrived at after much deliberation and many opportunities of

It was negatived without a division . ¦'¦ .. ¦ -. ¦ . , . " ¦ Mr , GILLON , in rising to bring forward a motion for the total abolition of the soap tax , cohferided that the consumption of the . article had greatly decreased in consequence of the oppressWe nature of the duty . He thoTeover mainiained that the facilities afforded to smuggling proved most inju-. nous to the fair trader . The smuggler was now enabled to . give the public as good an article as the fair trader , without

      subjecting himaelt to any liabilities to the Excise . In the inanufactureof soap the labour was cheaper than in that of most other articles , and the materials that were used \ Vere expensive . No imprbvemftnt had | aken place in the . manufucture of the article since the reign of Queen Anrie , and the persons engaged in the trade were subject to inany vexatious annoyances . B y the absurd regulations framed in the reign of Qiieen Anne , the British manufacturer was driven out of the South American markets by the North Americans and the French . One great reason why the tax ought to be abqlished was the mequalit y of its pressure upoa . the different blaBses of edciety . The poorest niaii paid as much as the richest , for the duty on the highest and the lowest Was ^ 17 per ton ; The How . Member in the ; coiirsetj f some further observations said , that in the Excise department , by the adoption of a better syBtera than- the present , a saving to the amount of ^* 450 , 00 () a year mi g ht be effected .

BEAMISH obtaiued li'aye to bring in a bill to regulate the sale of bread in Ireland . In ; answer to a question from Mr . Waiburten , he : said that ib object was to assimilate the law between the two countries . - ,: ,-Mr . GILLOX moved for an account of the public income and expenditure of the United Kingdom in theyears ending 5 th of January , IKJ 6 , 1837 , ' and 1838 ; distinguishinit the actual payments for the expenses incurred in . the collection and management of the revenue , for the cliarffcs of the nublie
