      ( Continued from our last . ) ^ e -could not bear the idea of going into trade , ssaZixaSjgreafly embarrassed in the choice of a con-3 jsm * I profession , having been thus thwarted in the : 2 k 3 « mte object of his genius and . ambition . He ^¦ w -at last articled to Mt . Chables Watsox , an amnent architect ] then of IFakefield , and afterwards erf ltafc This profession Mr . Oastleb . was obliged = smbl after to relinquish , in consequence of a weakaness in his sight This occasioned him fresh disiaamsxtmeot ^ ski regret .

      Tsace bafflod in the plans he had formed for his S&xoe life , he abandoned all mniTlar expectations , sEaJai once made up his mind to go into business . fie iegan as a Commission Agent , and , by the « Ste * dy application of his naturally active and vigor-«« E « Hid , rose gradually into deservedly high credit satSsegpectabXlity as a tradesman . It was not long define he ranked amongst the principal merchants ia Leeds—respected for his sterling integrity and IbwT i and considered as one whose" superior ^ gVnts , for-business would shortly raise their pos

      jeaag to-affluence and distinction . But the expectgfwB « « of his friends were to be frustrated in this gasficalar , as his own had been ia . fonner designs 3 eea after the general peace , Mr . Oastler examined » kretely the state of his affairs ; and , not finding st&a correspond with his calculation of what ought ^ s kase been its comparative prosperity , and also SanERseeing a change in the mode of carrying on the ? fecOTesf ; of the country , he determined , contrary to die entreaties and remonstrances x > f his numerous ftifads , immediately to abandon , and never again

      3 > resume , his mercantile pursuits . It was in JBE 20 - £ ha * _ Mr . Oastixr was made a bankrupt , in ^ sie . ofcaafthe efforts made by his friends to indnce 55 m to continue his business . He refused all their * £ Xas of credit and assistance . He was in no want - ^ teifliter money or credit at the time , but did not "S&ikhe could , and , therefore , would not , as an S » aestmaii , run the slightest risk , -when that risk -ss ^ -at-the expense of others . Our limits forbid any i-Sslasiof this memorable event in Mr . Oabtler ' s 12 & . Though eighteen years ago , it is still fresh in £ 3 « -memory of many in Leeds , and will never be

      ¦ Mgartgn , we are persuaded , by those who , at that tome , became acquainted witli the facts of the « tw . Mr . Oastleb has . much to-be " proud < & sn his singularly eventful history ; but were we = »? i : ed to point to any one circumstance- " of his ¦ a fhdle life , as illustrative of the mental and moral r ^ ssndeur of the man , we should single out hisibank ssptcy In 1820 . Never in this world did any man ^ SEgJay more transparency of character—honest SscTiDitrable , and magnanimous voluntary humi-Saoon than did Mr . Oastleb on the occasion beiScZRBS .

      2 a October , 1816 , Mr . Oastleb married Ma by TZssmxis , of Nottingham , of a well-known and much negweted femfly in that town . They iave _ had two « 3 fldren , Robebt and Sarah mentioned above , who ^ a& died in their infancy . 2 a July , 1820 , the year of Mr . Oastier ' s bank-OT |» tcy , his father , who had been for many years dsCteffard to Mr . THO&XHn . L , was taken ill and died . SJcsslicited and unexpected by Mr . Oastleb , Mr . " Sjlbkshxll wrote ^ to him to say , that of course he srweld succeed his iaiher as resident steward on the Xeeishire estate . This offer Mr . Oastleb accepted ; l ^ fcLeeds , and in January , 1821 , removed to Fixby - % !*«« he has continued ever since . ¦ " -.

      -3 &x- Oastleb has always acknowledged , the overrating hand of Providence in thus disposing of his iaeended schemes as to a final settlement in life . ^ Setter-opportunities and more xsonstant facilities for ¦^ jgacdcal-acquaintance with human nature , in all afce-carieties of station and condition , in which it can Satjlaeedj ' wereiiever afforded to any more than to Mr . - * GtaSTHB . 2 s o Tnn-n has ever availed himself of them , ^ z 3 > ea . afforded , to better advantage , and for a better jnxa-pese , than he has done , ag will be hereafter TEtzsoSest . Both before and subsequently , to the

      • gear 1820 , Mr . Oastleb had the most flattering - -araenrions paid to him by some of the first men in : *? he ; meieaiitfle world , and many munificent offers of . -asastance and co-operation ; but all were respectfiSy decfined . He beneved himself called to other xsr « r 4 : —what that was he could hardly tell—but the jrre < mfjTnPTif that he was to be of far greater service iDoiis fellow creatures than a diligent application to sjjcseess will allow , always appears to hare followed 35 nrfhrongh life , and to have been practically acted f&jkhj , as far as circumstances , from time to time , rj esifid ^ dmit .

      3 &cOastleb s private character stands not merely caaaipeached , but unimpeachable . It is no ex-;» 2 aeration , but bare truth , when we say , thai-there 5 es » : msa living of whom less evil and more good j ^ ss jbe said , than of Mr . Oastleb . He is . every orisre the same man . We never , knew any one ¦ stacae outward aspect underwent so little alteration , fcfeia thange of time , place , and- circumstance . Eni ^ rity , justice , honesty , and truth , are finely SSsEded with unsuspecting frankness , generous , «« ne-&earted , good old . English feeling , that

      rrJtegeth&r make a man , whom all must both -cseerence and love . Mr . Oastleb has an in-• sfkaaaiible fund of native humour . There is a c&z&b . of fun and frolic even "in his more serious jpoeees , thai wins way in ^ pite of all opposition , and < disanns , for the time at least , the deadliest and the i&eroestof his foes . But it is at home that we love ^ Qtsz&EB most . He has always been the beau ideal = * E £ 5 se--old English character in our imagination . -Stem / in -sirtue , inflexible in purpose , with an in--asacijve-sftnse of honour , and an apparently blunt

      5 cr ± yet a delicate attention to the wants of all around ~ &iraj indignant atwrong , especially when the wrong i *< Lone to another rather than himself—detesting $ he hypocrite and double dealer , but in every thing - *^ ¥ s kind , easy , playful , and uniformly the same—Jie make * Fixby a happy nome to tenantry and -ascants . At Tixby , too , his social qualities endear 3 sa aore closely to the many friends who are Sfiawured with his more intimate acquaintance . £ « rg may he live , —the man—ihe husband-rand the ^ Sead—the love of his country—of all that God has xasafe . -

      'la ^ olitiegj ^ ir . Oastlee has been a Tory from a « aSd . aids as the more remarkable , as all his Tylarrgs weie , and most of them , -we believe , still iaae , Wiigs or laberals .

      defend the xonu who advocated the rights of humanity against the hypocritical professions of liberality and religion . Prom that period , Mr , Oabtleb became a very stirring inm in Yorkshire politics , though nerer 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 Caboline—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 . Oabtleb 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 attached 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 . Oastleb always speaks of the Duke of Welltsgtqs , Sir Robebt Peel , and other leading Tories , in reference to the New Poor Law .

      ^ r ^ PONTEFRACT , Monday , Apbil 2 . These sessions commenced on Monday last , at the Court House , Ponlefract , before Lord Whabsclifpe andannmerousbodyoft"heRidingMagistrate 8 . The business is less this year than lor 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 3 fr . Charles Clapham , Wakefield . Mr . Henry Craven , Ditto . Mr . George Cooke , of Pollingfon . Mr . Benjamin Crossland , South Milford , Mr . John Cape , Selby . Mr . George Eccles , Ditto . Mr . W . Hallilay , Snaith . Mr . Thomas Fisher , Selby . Mr . Joseph Jennings , Wakefield . Mr . Richard Long , Amtoleton . Mr . William Lister , Halifax . Mr . llichard Lumb , Ditto . Mr . Charles Milne , Ditto . Mr . Thomas Nicholl , Ditto .

      Mr . Henry Richardson , Bamsley . Mr . John" Ray , Ditto . Mr . Henry I ^ adon , Snaith . The Chaibmax was happy to inform the gentlemen of the jury 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 further remarks , except giving the usual instructions , which his Lordship proceeded to do . C . H . Elslet , Esq ., the Clerk of the Peace , then called over the Hst of BailiSs . The Noble Chairman directed that those who did not answer to their names should be fined in the usual manner . Five were absent , bnt two out of five had a . sufficient excuse .

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

      SUBSID 1 ABY COUBT . Soon after twelve o ' clock , a subsidiary court was formed , at which M r . A ldebsox presided . The following cases of felony were disposed of : Thomas Brenyara , aged 42 , was charged with stealing a quantity df hay , at Selby , the property of Samuel Gurteridge . 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 : he refused , to answer , but threw down the hay and went away . Guilty . Two months imprisonment and hard labour . RoberUiyHt , 23 , wa 3 charged with stealing , at Kippax , a handkerchief , the property of Jam ^ a O'Harra . It appeared that on the 29 th of January

      ast , 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 wenrfor 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 . Thos . Davison Bland , Esq . deposed , to asking the prisoner if he knew any thing of the handkerchief , and whether he iad the key of a gig box . 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 indictment , for stealing a handkerchief against the prisoner , but it was not proceeded with . John Barns , for stealing 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 Wakefield . —Mr . J . Maude appeared for the prosecution , and stated the particulars , which we published lastweek . Mr . Maude said , that although the evidence did not go to < ihow that the wool was taken away from the premises , yet it was sufficient to constitute larceny , if it was removed , under suspicious cirenmstances , from one part of the room to the other . The Chairman , in summing up the charge against the prisoner , stated , if the jury believed tEe

      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 wss only removed three inches , it would constitute a felony . Guilty . To be imprisoned four months , with hard labour . Edwin Mountain pleaded guilty to stealing , at Wakefield , a quantity of knives , forks , and other articles , the property of Win . Fortune , of the Saw Inn , Wakefield ; also a cloth shawl , the property of Mr . W . Rhodes , ofHorbriry . —Mt . Ixgham 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 . DirxoAS , for the prosecutors , said he was more subject lo collecting fits ; and if the . counsel for the prisoner attempted to prove the innocence of theprisoner , he must enter into evidence . The Chaibmax , after consulting the other magistrates on the Bench , said that the robberies which the prisoner had effected were too important to let Mm 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 ihe House of Correction . He should recommend the friends of the prisoner to see , after his discharge , that he did not go about the * country robbing people ; forif he was ever brought op again he would undoubtedly be transported .

      Tix / mas Inihan , , was charged with stealing a boat cover , at Rothwfill , 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 defended by Sir G . Lewis , who was engaged in a bastardy case iu 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 alway * been a dutiful daughter . Guilty , but recommended to to mercy . To be confined for one month . Mr * . Dunbas 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 . Broirnpleaded Guilty to stealing a pair of trousers at Sheffield , 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 sentences up to Wednesdavnieht . which we eive in consequence

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . THURSDAY , March 29 . Mr . FECTOR toolc the oaths and his seat for Maidstone . _ The Midland CoTinties _ Railway Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed . An immense number of petitions for the total abolition « f Slavery were presented . . # . A vast number of petitions ( six hundred and sixty-seven in the whole ) lor the Abolition of Negro Apprenticeshi p were presented—by Mr ; O'Connell , -10 ; Lord Morpeth , 30 ; Sir George Strickland , 25 ; Mr . Hmdley , 26 ; Sir Robert Peel presented seven ; and among them one from Stockport , 25 yards long ; but Sir Robert stated that when intrusted with" these petitions , he had distinctly explained that he could not advocate theirprayer . Lord Stanley presented petitions from West Indiaproprietora . : : ; Sir GEOROE STRICKLAND then rose to move , " That this House is of opinion that the Apprenticeship in the British Colonies , established by the 3 rd and -4 th of Wm . IV . chapter 73 , shall terminate on the 1 st of Aueust , 1838 . " In a long

      speech , Six George laboured to prove that the understanding of the friends 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 . Secretary Stanley , that the " condition of the apprentices should be precisely that ol workmenin England . " * Now , had that promise been kept ? Were the apprentices precisely in the condition of English workmen ? SirGeorge quoted numerous statements , chiefly from a narrrative of James Williams , formerl y a slave , but now in England , and from a publication byMr . Sturge , to prove that the apprentices are subject to the most cruel treatment ; and that , in contravention of an express provision of the Emancipation Actj women are barba ) rousl y flogged at the tread mill . Sir George dwelt oh the impolicy of freeing one portion of the apprentices and keeping the greater nu ' mber in bondage ; and argued , that this state of society nrust be attended with , Berious danger , the result of inevitable irritation at the difference in the condition of the

      two classes of Negroes . Mr . PEASE in secondingthe 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 the labour required from them was excessive ; and the punishments , chiefly by flogging , frequent , and dreadfully ^ severe . Pregnant , women \ sete forced to -work till they could labour no longer ; the consequences of which were miscarriages , and > especiall y 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 hoapitab were places of pnnishment . Mr . . Pease became so overpowered by nis feelings that he was unable to proceed , whilstlond cheers resoundedirom all sides . Sir GEORGE GREY begged to temind the House , that

      the Colonies had prospered under the apprenticeship system , that tiie compensation money had been laid out on the estates of the planters , and bettered the condition of all connected with them - , that . the exports had been increased , and the economical condition of the country improved He called upon the House to dispel the illusion which prevailed on this subject , and todeal with the question calmly and dispassionately . He was perfectly aware of the strong feeling which existed in this country in faVour of the change proposed in Sir George Strickland ^ resolution ; but he felt it his duty to resist this feeling ; and he would move as an amendment , " That the order of the day for the second reading of the slavery abolition act amendment bill be now read . " At the conclusion of Sir George Grey ' s speech , the debate was adjourned , on the motion of ; Mr . James ; and . the House lose at a quarter past twelve .

Lord Howick professed his adherence to Ms former opinion , which he had only arrived at after much deliberation and many opportunities of

      ascertaining facts , that the apprenticeship or transition state was an evil . Still having entered into a solemn covemant with the planters , and the term of apprenticeshi p having ; approached nearly to a close , he would uot now be a party to its infraction .

" . .- ' ¦ .. - - ^ Captain JO > jES seconded the motion . It was negatived Without a divisipn . . : ¦ Mr . GlLliON , in risVngto bring forward a motion for the total abolition of the soap tax ; contended that ' . ' the . consumption of the article had greatly decreased in consequence of the oppressiye nature of the duty . He moreover maintained that the facilities afforded to sjnnggliug proved most injurious to the lair , trader ; The smuggler was now enabled to give the public as good an article as the fair trader , without

      subjecting hiinselt : to any liabilities to . thts Excise . In the manufacture oi' soap the labour was cheaper than in that of most other articles , and the material . "i that were used were expensive . No impr 6 vein « Bt had taken place in the manuracture of the artjefe since the r « gh of Queen Ann ^ , and the persons engaged in the trade were subject to many vexatious annoyances . By theabsurd regulations framed in the reign of Queen Anne , the British manufacturer was driven out , of the South American inarketa by the North Americans arid the French . One great reason yrtiy the . tax ought to be abolished was the inequality of ita prosaure upon the different classes of society . The pootestuian paid as much as the richest , for the duty on the highest and the lowest was jt' 17 per ton . The Hon .

      anticipated that the attendance of dealers , farmers , &c . will be very numerous , in consequence of fte principal graziers in the neighbourhood havbj entered into an agreement with the London dealen , &c , that they will send all their best horses to tie Howden Spring Faur in preference to that of Lij . coin , and the risk of crossing the Humber . We believe that the Howden Michaelmas Horse Shot is now acknowledged as decidedly the first in fe United Kingdom , and we trust that ^ ere loDg , the Howden Spring Fair will be as celebrated ; The A g ricultural Show of Cattle , on Tuesday , the 17 th , is also , expected to attract a great number of visitors .
