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

      condemned and resisted as unconstitutional , arbitrary , and tyrannical . We have never yet seen him shrink from the unwelcome duty of exposing the political inconsistencies of the party to which he belonged , however firmly convinced of 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 dangerons course . We can gi * e no stronger proof of this than the manner in which Mr . Oastleb always speaks of the Duke of Wellington , Sir Robert Peel , and other leading Tories , in reference to the New Poor Law . ( To be concluded in ournexf . )

      PONTEFRACT , Moxday , April 2 . These sessions commenced on Monday last , at the Court House , Pontefract , before Lord Whabkcliffe andanumerous bodyoftheRidingMagistrates . The business is less this year than for many preceding ones , owing to the establishment of the Sheffield Intermediate Sessions , nevertheless there are " 1 prisoners for felony and misdemeanours entered on the calendar for trial . After the Court was formed , several gentlemen qnalified as Magistrates . The following is a"Est of "the

      GRAND JURY . Mr . John Jones , of Wakefield , Foreman Mr . Charles Clapham , Wakefield . Mr . Henry Craven , Ditto . Mr . George Codke , of Pollington . Mr . Benjamin Crossland , South Milford . Mr . John Cape , Selby . Mr . George Eccles , Ditto . Mr . W . Haliaay , Snaith . Mr . Thomas Fisher , Selby . Mr . Joseph Jennings , Wakefield . Mr . RichaTd Long , AnAleton . Mr . William Lister , Halifax . Mr . Richard Lumb , Ditto . Mr . Charles Milne , Ditto . Mr . Thomas Nicboll , Ditto . Mr . Henry Richardson , Barnsley . Mr . John Ray , Ditto . Mr . Henry Eadon , 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 us * ual instructions , which his Lordship proceeded to do . C . H . Elslet , Esq ^ , the Clerk of the Peace , then called over the list of Bailifia . The Noble Chairman directed that those who did not answer to their names should be fined in the usual manner . Five were absent , but two out of five had a sufficient excuse . The Court then proceeded to hear cases of bastardy , which occupied the whole of the day .

      SUBSIDIARY COVRT . Soon after twelve o'clock , a subsidiary court was formed , at which Mr . Aldersox presided . The following cases of felonv were disposed of : Thomas Brenyard , aged 42 , was charged with stealing a quantity of hay , at Selby , the property of Samuel Gutteridge . ¦ " John "Weldrick , and another witness , deposed , to seeing the prisoner come out of the prosecutor ' s fold , and that they went and spoke to the prisoner : he refused to answer , but threw down the hay and went away . Guilty . Two months imprisonment and hard labour .

      Rolert Byitt , 23 , was charged with stealing , at Ki ppax , a handkerchief , the property of Jamt » s 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 fonndiin a gig box , of which the prisoner had the key . Thos . Daviaoa 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 . Theprisoner 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 . " JohnBarns . forstealing a pillow-case , andacap , at Campsall , the property of John Hague . Guilty . To be imprisoned one month with hard labour . John Hirsf ^ 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 last week . Mr . Maude said , that although the evidence did not go to * show 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 die jury believed the prisoner did not enter die warehouse with a feloniods intent , they must give him the benefit of it ; if , onihe 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 . Guil ty . 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 Wm . Fortune , of the Saw Inn , Wakefield ; also a cloth shawl , the property of Mr . W . Rhodes , of Horbury . —Mt . " 1 xgba- \ i 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 . Dcxdas , 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 up again he would undoubtedly be transported . Thomas 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 mat the vrisoner

      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 quantity of knives and forks , the property of Mr . John Magg , manufacturer , Broomhall-streeL 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 been a dutiful daughter . Guilty , but recommended to to mercy . To be confined for one month . Mr . Dvkdas enquired whether hard labonr was included

      in the sentence , as he was not wishful the poor girl should be punished too much , though Tie appeared for the prosecution . The Chairman replied that the sentence did not include hard labour for females . JFSliam Brown pleaded Guflty 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 sentenceaup to Wednesday night , which-we give in consequence of being unable to furnish a longer report , ah unexpected pres 3 of advertisement * and other important

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . THURSDAY , March 29 . Mr . FECTOR took the oaths and his seat for Maidstone . The Midland Counties Railway Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed-An immense number of petitions for the total abolition of Shivery were presented- _ A vast numbeT of petitions ( tax hundred and sixty-seven in the whole ) for the Abolition of Negro Apprenticenbi p were presented—by Mr . O'Connell , 40 ; Lord Morpeth , 30 ; Sir George 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 theirpTayer . Lord Stanley presented petitions from West inSiaproprietors . Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND then tobb to move , " That this House is of opinion that the Apprenticeship in the British Colonies , established b / the 3 rd and 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 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 . Se ^ cretiry Stanley , that the " condition of the apprentices should be precisely that of workmen in England . Now , had that promise been * kept ? Were the apprentices precisely in the condition of English workmen ? Sir George qnoted ntuu erous statements , chiefly-from a nanrative of James Williams , formerly a slave , hut now in England , and from a publication by Mr . Sturge , to prove that the apprentices are subject to the most cruel treatment ; and that , in contravention of an express provision of the Emancipation Act , women are barbarously flogged at the tread null . Sir George dwelt on the impolicy of freeing one portion of the apprentices and keeping the greater number in bondage ; and argned , 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 Une of argument aB Sir George Strickland . He stated a variety of ( acts 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 were forced to work till thev could labour no longer ; the consequences of which were miscarriages , and , especiall y in Jamaica , a fearful gap in the population . "Womeahad given birth to children in the fields , having been refused permission to go home . In Demerara , the hospital * ' were places of punishment . Mr . Pease became so overpowered , by tat feelings that he was unable to proceed , whDstlond cheersxesoundedfrom all sides . Sir GEORGE GREY begged * to remind the House , that 4-1 * a r > Ai / inina > i 4 j 1 r » frtCruai » A ^ 1 tTl ({ f * T t \\ f * AnniVnftrVZnin aoafum

He was " perfectly aware of the strong feeling which existed in this country in favoui of the change proposed in 8 ir George Strickland's 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 alarer ? 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 rose at a quarter xast twelve .

      FRIDAY , Mabch 30 . A new writ wag ordered for East Lothian , in the room of Lord Ramsay , now Eirl of Dalhousie .

This last statement respecting Lord Brougham waa confirmed by Lord HG \ 7 ICK : | who d ^ hiredthat Lord ^^ Brougham ' s opposition was fatal to hin own plan for the abolition of slavery wuhoutany intermediate stage . Lord Howick professed his adherence to his former ; opinion , which he had only arrived at after much deliberation and many oppoTt-unities of ascer . tainmg facts , ' that the' apprenticeship or transition state was

      an evil .

" . ¦ Captain JONES seconded the motion . It was negatived without n division ; . Air . GILLON , in rising to bring forward a motion for the total aboliti ' un of the soap tax , contended that the consumption of the article had . greatly decreased in consequence' of the oppressive nature of . the duty . He moreover maintained that the facilities afforded to smuggling proved most injnrious to the fair trader . The smustiiler was now enabled to

      give the public as good an article as the fair trader , without subjecting hinwelt to any liabilities to the Excise . In the manufacture of soap the labour was cheajver than in that of ttwst other articles , and the materials that were ; used wert * expensive . No ilnprovemsnt . had taken place in the manufacture of the article sirice . the reign of Queen Anne , and the persons engaged in the trade were subject to many : vexatious annoyances . By the absurd fegtilations framed in ; the feign of Queen A nnf , 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 abolished was the inequality of its pressure upon the different classes of society . 'The poorest man paid as much as the richest , for the duty on the highest and the lowest was ^ l ? per ton . The Hon . Member in thft cowseet' some further observations said , that in ( he Excise department , by the adoption of a better 'system than the present , a saying to the amount of - < 4 50 , 0 ( i 0 a year might be effected " . He concluded by moving for leave to bring ma bill for the ''" . repeal of the dnty on scfap . " ¦ Air . HUME seconded the motion .

      Lord SANDON afterwards moved as an amendment " that the , dutv on soap be reduced one-third . " Of course " the CHANCELLDR of the EXCHEQUER could neiiher spare the whole dnty nor a third of it—and aftersome chaflWiing both motions ware withdrawn . Mr . BBAMlriH obtained leave-to bring in abill to regulate the sale of bread in Ireland . In answer to a question from Mr . WaTbiirton , he said tli ' at . its object was to assimiate the law between the two countries . Mr . GILLON moved for an account of the piiblic income and expendituie of the United Kingdom in the y « avs ending 5-th of January , Ib 36 , 1837 , ' ' nn < l 1 ^ 38 ; distingrnshiria ; the actual payments for the expenses incurred in ' the collection and management of th ' o revenue , for the charges of the -public

      debt ( the ti'rmnwbie annvuttt's bemg also valned by estimate ) , for the expenses of the civil government , the allowance to the Royal Family , and to his . Royal Highness Prince Lcppuld : ' the establishment of the Lord Lieutemint of Iftjland , the expends of the two Houses of Parliament , and th ' u civil departiu « nts , the other penHions on the consolidated fundj or the gross revenue , and the civil list : —Also the-payments for the administration of justice , diplomatic expenses , ' and the payments on account of the anm votei-. l ' or the arnij , navy , and ordnance services .

      anticipated that the attendance of dealers , farmers &c , will be very numerous , in consequence of the principal graziers in the . neignbourhood having entered into an agreement with the London dealers &c , that they will send all their best horses to the Howden Spring Fair in preference to that of Lincoln , and the risk of crossing the liumber . We believe that the Howden Michaelmas Horse Show is now acknowledged as decidtdly the first in the United Kingdom , and we trust thaty ef e longj the Howden Spring Fair will be as celebrated . The Agricultural Show of Cattle , on Tuesday , the 17 th , is also expected to attract a great number of visitors .

      Newcastle Corn Market , March 31 . — ' — Farmers continue to bring short supplies of Wheat , but the deficiency has been well made up by arrivals from Norfolk and Suffolk .

Fine Rye met a fair sale : at the quotations . Barley and Malt sold slowly , and prices unaltered .

      Peas were not dearer , but good boilers continue in request . The supply of Oats was moderate , and rather higher prices were demanded . The weather having . been more favourable this week , clover seed was more inquired after , and ' , good samples of new red met a ready sale . With a continuance of fine weather , we may expect a much brisker demand soon ; Shipments to this quarter should , therefor * , be made without loss of time .
