  ( Continuedfrom our last . ) He conld not bear the idea of going into trade , sad was greafly embarrassed in the choice of a conjwud profession , haTiug been thns thwarted in the isoorite object of his genius and ambition . He ¦« s * t last articled to ^ Ir . Charus . Watson , an aarinent arclitec ^ then of TTakefield , and afterwards rf York . This profession Mr . Oastleb was obliged sm * aSter to rennqxush , in cocsequence of a weaka « s in his sight This occasioned him fresh disjaggesntnient and regret . Twice baffled in the plans he had formed for bis &tase Efe , he abandoned all similar expectations , sad st once made up his mind to go into "business . HeVbegan as a Commission Agent , arid , by the steady application of his natnrally active and vigor-• asmnd , rose gradnaHy into deservedly high credit aaijespectabDity as a tradesman . It was not long fcgfbxehe ranked amongst the principal merchants m Le ^ s—respected for his sterling integrity and i * soer , and conadered as one whose superior jbkats ior business -would shortly raise their poswtsun to affluence and distinction . But the expectaS » B 3 ~ of his friends were to be frnstrated in this jacr&Hlar , as his own had been in former designs . Socm after the generalpeace , Mr . Oastleb examined jD&rately tbe state of his affairs ; and , not finding £ ts > etffrespond with his calculation of what ought ^ iare heen its comparative prosperity , and also Isaweeing a change in die mode of carrying on the > naness of / the country , he determined , contrary to < & £ eatreaties and remonstrances of bis numerous jKends , immediately to abandon , and never again * resume , his mercantile pnrsnits . It was in 3 S 2 O mat 3 > Ir . Oastler was made a bankrupt , in spSe-of all the efforts made by Ms friends to induce Inn tcrcontinue his business . He refused all their « Stss ef credit and asastance . He -was in no want * f either money or credit at the time , but did not -Sail he conld , and , therefore , would not , as an j&ficest man , run the sEgh . test risk , when that risk vss at the expense of others . Our limits forbid any 2 et = 3 of this memorable event in Mr . Oastleivs ^ fe-. Though eighteen years ago , it is still fresh in ^ ememory of mnny in Leeds , and Trill never be Sr « ott « n , we are persuaded , by those who , at that fere , "became acqnainted -with the facts of the « sv . Mr . Oastler has much to be- proud tf in Ms angularly eventful history ; but were we stsfctd to point to any one circumstance of his ¦ sLfle life , " as iBnsrrative of the mental and moral { raadenr of the man , we should single cntiis bankssptey in 2 S 2 O . Never in this world did any man gj ^ lay more transparency of character—hdnest , Jfamonxable , and magnanimons , volnntary humi-5 aU £ m , than did Mr . Oastleb on the occasion be-~ ht October , 1816 , Mr . Oastleb married Mabt Taisam , of Nottingham , of a well-known and mnch jeg > ected family in that town . They have had two eh 3 dxen , Robert and SiRAB mentioned above , who fceth . died in their iniancy . . In July , ISO , the year of Mr . Oastleb ' s bankisptcv , his father , wlio had been for many years ^» s rd to Mr . THOKXHiLi-.-was taken ill and died . Unsolicited and unexpected by 2 > 1 t . Oastleb , Mr . " Tsokshill -wrote to him to say , that of course he - * ot 1 & succeed his father as resident steward on the T « kshire estate . This offer Mr . Oastler accepted ; S * Leeds , and in January , ] S 2 J , removed to FLsby , ¦ ar Sere he has continued ever since . - Mr . Oastlzb has always acknowledged the overjaSng hand of Providence in thns disposing of his siesded schemes as to a final settlement in life . Setter opportunities and more constant facilities for ae practical acquaintance with human nature , in all Aevarieties of station and condition , in which it can >* -nlaced , were never afforded to any more than to Mr . GUTTLER . No TPflTi has ever avaijed himself of them , - * Lea afforded , to better advantage , and for a T > etter -gmpose , than he has done , as wDl be hereafter ^ sanMest . Both "before and snbseojiently to the -rear 1820 , Mr . Oastleb had the most flattering atiatt&ons -paid to him by some of the "first men in tJie Biercantile world , and many munificent offers of assistance and co-operation ; but all were respect-SE 5 declined . He believed himself called to other -m / Ek—what that was he could hardly tell—but the yesentiment that he was to be of far greater service ¦ 3 d las fellow creatures than a diligent application to ftonBess will allow , always appears to have followed 3 £ m through life , and to have been practically acted ~ spcm , as far as circumstances , from time to ^ time , ^ sredd admit . Mr . Oasteeb's private character stands not merely -SEBKpeached , but nnimpeachable . It is no exaggeration , hut hare troth , when we say , that there it bo -man living of whom jgss evil and more good sssybe said , fha-n of "Mr . Oastleb . He is every - » ies& the same man . We never Ttnew any " -3 &ose flutward aspect underwent so little alteration , $ om change of time , place , and circumstance , integrity , justice , honesty , and troth , ' are . finely iHstfled with -unsuspecting frankness , generous , TBrm-hear ted , good old English feeEng , that ^ ogemer make a man , whom all must both seTerence and love . Mt . Oastleb has an inflshanstible fund of native humour . There is a &sb of fun and frolic even in his more serious jrec es , that vrins way in spite of all opposition , and eisaaoaos , for 1 iie time at least , the deadliest and the Sacestof Ms foes . But it is at home that -we love Hustler most . He has always been the . beau ideal cf the old English character in our imagination . Stem in virtue , inflexible in purpose , with an insenctive sense of honour , and an apparently blunt , last yet a delicate attention to the wants of all around !« sn ^ mdignant at wrong , especially when the wrong fe foce to another rather than himself—detesting tiie hvgpcrite and double dealer , hut in every thing * fe ? , kind , easy , playful , and uniformly the sarne—W makes-Tixby a happy home to tenantry and « nsDts . At Pixby , too , his social qualities endear Jam aiore closely to the many Mends who are axoored with his more intimate acquaintance Xsog may he live , —the man—the husband—and the Sound—the love of his country—of all that God has

  dejfendiheinaa who advocatedthe rights of humanity against the uypocritkal professions of liberality and religion . From that period , Mr . Oastler became a very stirring man in Yorkshire politics , though neTer as a mere party man . He has never defended his party in any measnre 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 . Oastleb always
  
  condemned and resisted as unconstitutional , " arbitrary and tyrannical . We have never yet seen him shrink from the unwelcome duly 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 . Oastler always speaks of the Duke of Wellisotox , Sir Robert Peel , and other leading Tories , in reference to the New Poor Law . ( To be concluded in our next . )
  
  West Biding Sessions
  
  WEST BIDING SESSIONS
  
  PO > TEFRACT , Monday , April 2 . These sessions commencedon Monday last , at the Court House , Pontefract , before Lord Wharmcliffe and anumerous body of the Riding M agistrates . 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 fi-lony 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 . Mi . John Jones , of Wakefield . Foreman . Mr . Charles Clapham , Wakefield . Mr . H ^ nry Craven , Ditto . Mr . George Cooke , of Pollin ^ ton . Mr . Benjamin Grassland , South Milford . Mr . John Cajje , Selby . Mr . George Lcdes , Ditto . Mr . W . Hallilay , Snaith . Mr . Thomas Fisher , Selby . Mr . Joseph Jennings , Wakefield . Mr . Richard Long , Ambletou . Mr . William Lister , Halifax . Mr . Richard Luinb , Ditto . Mr . Charles Milne , Ditto . Mr . Thomas Nicholl , Ditto . -Mr . Henry Richardson , Barnsley . Mr . John" Raj , Ditto . Mr . Henry Eaoon , Snaith . The Chairman 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 . Elslev , Esq ., the Clerk of the Peace , then called over the list of Bailiffs . The Noble Chajhjiax directed that those who did not answer to tlieir names should be fined in the usual manner . Five were absent , but two out of five had a sufficient excuse . The Court then- proceeded to hear cases of bastardy , which occupied the whole of the day . SUBSIDIARY COURT . Soon after ivrelre o'clock , a subsidiary court was formed , at -which Mr . A iderson 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 Gvneridge . John Weldrick , and another witness , deposed , to seeing the prisoner come ont of the prosecutor ' s fold , and that they went and spoke to the prisoner : he refixaed 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'Marra . 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 eig box , of which the pr isoner had the key . Thos . Davison Bland , Esq . deposed , to asking the prisoner if lie 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 hft look the handkerchief in a lark . Gniltv . Four months to hard labour . There was another indictment , for stealing a handkerchief against the pr isoner , but it was not proceeded with . " John Bums . forstealiDg 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 , lhe 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 suspicious circumstances , 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 thewool away should have no influence with them , for if the wool W 2 s only removed three inches , it would constitute a felony . Guilty . To be imprisoned four months , with hard labour . Edwin Mountain pleaded guilt )* 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 , of Horbury . —Mt . I-xgham 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 . Dusdas , 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 his discharge , that he did not go about the country robbing people ; for if he was ever brought op a ^ ain he would undoubtedly be transported . T / iomas Inman , 36 , 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 defended by Sir G-. 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 Q uantity of knives and forks , the property of Mr . ohn 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 Seen a dutiful daughter . Guilty , but " recommended to to mercy . To be confined for one month . Mr . Dfkdas 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 Broirn pleaded 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 ' sentencesup to Wednesday nighty which we give , in consequence of being unable to furnish a longer report , an unexpected press of advertisements and other important matter having arrived shortly before going to press .

  THURSDAY , March 29 . 3 fr . FECTOB took the oaths and his seat / or Maidstonc . The JMidhuid Counties Railway Bill was read a second tiipft and ordered to be committed . _ , ., • ¦ * ' '''' . " An immense number of petitions for . the ; total abolition of Slavery were presented . . A vast number of petitioas ( six hundred and sixty-seven in the whola ) for the Abolition of Negro Apprenticeshi p were presented—by Mr . O'Connell , 40 ; Lord Morpeth , 30 ; Sir Ueorge Strickland , 25 ; Mr . Hindley , 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 Jndiaproprietors . - Sir GEORGE 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 Wb . IV . chapter 73 , shall terminate on the 1 st of August , 183 S . " In a long
  
  speech , Sir George laboured to wove that the understanding of the friends of the Negro at the time of the passing of the Emancipation Act was , that Slavery waa to be abolished in deed and in truth . They had the distinct promise of Mt ; Secretiry Stanley , that the " condition of the apprentices should be precisely that or workmen in England . Now , had that promise been kept ? Were the apprentices precisely iji 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 , toprove 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 flogged at the tread null . Sir G « orge dwelt on the impolicy of freeing one portion of the apprentices and keeping 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 of the two classes of Negroes . '
  
  Mr . PEASE ia 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 snpjly of food ; while : the labour required from them was excessive ; and the punishments , chiefly ^ b y flogging , frequent , and dreadfully severe . Pregnant women were forced to work till they could labour no longer ; the consequences of which were miscarriage * , and , especially in Jamaica , a fearful gap in the population . Women had given birth to children in the fields , navingbeen refused permission to go home ' . In Uemerara , the hospitals were places of punishment . Mr . Pease became so overpowered byTiis feelings that he was unable to proceed , whSstloud cheers resounded from all sides . . . ' .: Sir GEORGE GREY beggea to remind the House , thai the Colonies had prospered under the apprenticeship system .
  
  that the 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 subiect , and to deal with the qujetion calmly and dispassionately . He was perfectly aware of the strong feeUng ¦ which existed in tliis country in fiivour of the change proposed in Sir _ George Strickland e resolution ; but he felt itnisduty to resist this feeling ; and he would move as an amendment , " That tlie order ol the day for the second reading of the slarery 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 . James ; and the House rose at a quarter nast twelve .

" . Captain JONES seconded the motion . It was negatived without a division * Mr . GltiLON , in rising to bring forward a motion for the total abolition of : the . soap tux j contended that the consamption of the article had greatly decreased in coneiequVnce of the
  
  opprfssiye nature- ' of the duty . Re moreover : maintained that the facilities aflbrdi-d to smuggling proved most injurious to the fair trader . The smuggler was now enabled to give the public us good an article as the fair . trader , without subjecting himself to any liabilities to the Excise . In "the liiiiuufacture of « pup tlie laboiir Was cheiiper than in that : of most other articles , and the materials that were used were expensive . No improvement had taken place , in the manufacturr . 'of tho article since the reign of Qneen Anne , and the persons engaged in the trade were subject to many vexatious annoyances . By the absurd regulations framed in the reign of Queen Anne , the British manufacturer was driven out of the South Americanimarketa by the North Americans anil , the French . One great reason why the tax ought to be abolished * viw the . inequality of its preHsnre upon the different classes of . ¦ ' society .- The poorest iumi paid as much as the richest ^ for

BEAMISH obtained leave to bring in a bill toregulate the sale of bread in Ireland . In answer "to a question from Mr .
