TBSTIWAL IN HONOUR OF MR , OASTLER , AT BRADFORD . For t'tew dayi put the Committee appointed to get ¦ ap a festival , at Bradford , ia honour of th » " King of the Factory Children , - or the " Good Old King , " < a » Mr . OuUer is humorously but affectionately styled by those vbo appreciate M « Iranians aad untiring eiertaons , ) bar © been Tery active aad Bealooi in their ena » - toot to make the afiair noceed ao aa to demonstrate the extent of their esteem and respect On Tuesday afternoon last , the day announced for the festival , the Tempennee Hall was crowded by groups of young and old , varying from the yonthfnl admirer to the greybeaded old man , Interspersed amongst whom were not a few of the " tweet blooming young ones ; " and all were very respectably attired , especially the females , ¦ who "were con spicuous for the neatness and elegance of
their dress . An air of cheerfulness and hilarity beamed in tie features of all , who ' evidently participated i n the pleasures of the festival with great delight The heart of the •* Old King" could not baTe been lighted cp with more pleasing homage had be been a " real King , " and they his own subjects , than i t would bare been had be been present to witness the loyalty of bis -voluntary lteges on the present occasion . The band of the Rsyal Foresters wu in attendance , « sd added to the eSeet of the festival , by playing Yarious enlivening pieces before and during tea time . The Temperance Hall is a rather plain and spacions , though aomewhat elegant building , and was well suited for the
purposes of the party . The whole of the arrangements , which , we were informed , were made by working men , reflected great eredit on the parties . An ample profusion of " the good things" was provided , as far as we oonld see , tor alL Mi . Oastlert portrait was exhibited in variow places , and many wore medals , bearing his profile on one side , and a sketch of his residence on the reverse . Before tea commenced , Mr . Auty gave out a Tersa «/ a hymn , which was Tery well sung by tbe eompsny standing . So numerous was the party , thai after ou » portion bad taken tea , they were obliged to give way , for another . There -were between «• and 710 persons present . When all had been attended to , and the " crockery ware" was xeinoTed ,
Mr . A err came forward to say that , u it was zreceswry lot some one to preside on tbe present occasion , he had great pleasure in moving that a Btaneh old friend of the good " Old King ' s , " Mr . Thorns Brooke , should take the chair . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Sf £ 5 C £ B seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Brooke then took the chair amidst loud plaudits . He expressed his pleasure at meeting them on the present occuiox , * nd be was glad to perceiTe that Ms Mend Mr . Oastler was such a friend with the ladies , as they showed him to be by their presence that evening . ( Loud cheers . ) He only wished he could hare been present to hare seen it for himself . They were met to promote the cause of benevolence , and in honour of one who often practised it . ( Applause , ) He was cure he need not mention the name of Mr . O&Btler as the person to whom be alluded . He had fought the
battle of a certain class for years , and though he had fought the battle zealously , and perhaps Tehemently , If he ( tbe Chairman ) admitted thus much , which bis enemies ^ brought against him , it was only saying Mr . Oastler was not a perfect man . He thought the name of Oastler was as much connected with the Poor Law and the Factory questien , as that of the " hero of a hundred fights" was with the battles of Salamanca and Waterloo . ( Loud applause . ) The Poor Law had met In Mm a determined opponent . That law -was & cruel law , an -un-EnjliaJi law , and an unconstitutional law . There bad been manifested in . the recent debates on the faestion a desire to modify that law . To whom were they to attribute that ? To Bichard Oastler . ( Hear , hear . ) He had no doubt that if it passed , it would pass is a different form to what it had hrQisrio appeared in . He thought tier would fio away with the Commissioners . TTtth these fsw remarks , the cbiirxum concluded .
Tbe ChaikjiaX tken announced that a hymn would be sung / which had been composed fur the occasion by Mr . Ackroyd . Mr . ACKBOTD said , if Mr . Oastler had been present . and eeen the assembly before him , no doubt it would have gladdened his hetrt . No one esteemed him more than be ( the speaker ) did , for his exertions on behalf of tbe working Masses , mora especially on behalf of tbe factory Children ot this land—( applause }—acd for bis 4 etermifted zeal in opposing that accursed and tyrannical Bin , tbe 2 few Poor lair . What he ( the speaker ) had to do was to make a poetical speech , and then they were to sing it . Hire the hymn was sung with much enthusiasm by the audience standing , accompanied by the band .
Mr . Atttt then read the address to Mr . Oastler , "Which expressed deep sympathy with biin in his present imprisonment , and a high euloginm upon his put endeavours , and " noble and energetic exertions in opposing the Poor Law , both in days gone by , and at the present time in the Taluable Fleet Papert . " - It concludes with a pledge that the addressers will use every exertion in their power to promote bis interest , and a heartfelt with that God might enable him to persevere in Uie laudable and beneTolent work , and overcome all Us enemies . "The address was cheered throughout , at tbe end of various sentences . The Band then played "Rule Britannia . "
Mr . Acty next addressed the assembly for some time , and stated that he had seen sneh straightforwardness of conduct , such henesty of purpose , such a deter--miTtatioa to resist oppression in Mr . Oastler , that he dxured him now more than erer be had done . ( Hear , bear . ) He admired his Exertions in the black slavery question , but \ rhst was black slavery compared with the white slavery of which such horrible psrticulars were giTen in the Fleet Papert ereiy wetk ? There was aa account of the treatment of the children in Marshall ' s mill , which would nuke any man ' s heart bleed . There was a tale of a poor factory child , who ilied saying " Its time—its time , " alluding to the factory , and then gave zp the ghost . ( Shame , shame These papers shewed that the treatment of white slaves was worse than that of tha Mack slaves in any
part of the world . After a few more remarks , Mr . Auty read a letter from the Rev . G . S . Bull , of Binuingicm , in reply to an invitation forwarded to him to attend the festival , which spoke in high terms of Mr . Oaatitr ' a eondnct , and concluded thua : — ** O&stiert lessons -will outlive him . When in the course of nature bis mother earth shall long hive ewered what is mortal of him , his recorded anticipations will be realised by survivors , and the senators of Britain will stand amazed at their own folly in rtjecting his sound practical and Scriptural counsel . Until legislator ! trill obey the " Word of God , and begin at tbe right end by protecting tbe wages of tbe labourer , and guarding them from the graspof tbe speculating or the
avaricious capitalist , nothing can go on well—no claes caa . prosper—and no nation can continue great , wealthy , or happy , where the profits of industry are aaaempulously and tniblusliingly filched from the pocket of the producer to fill the Jews bex . " ( Loud and long-« ootimied cheering followed this passage . ) Mr . Auty » ext proceeded to animadvert upon the New Poor Law , ¦ and upoa tbe pablie feeling with regard to that measure in Bradford , in which totrn and neighbourhood they had xciormed Guardians opposed to tbe law . He was determined to oppose that law as long as it was on the atatafce book . If tae " O ' d King - had never taken up ara « against that law , he would never have bean in the rieet prison . He would , read a letter he bad received iroai him . that morning . Mr . Auty read as follows :
The Fleet , April llth , 1841 . Dzas . SlK , —Accept my siaeere thanks for your kind favenr , which I received this morning . 1 do assure yon that the many tokens of friendship -which I aa constantly receiving from all ranks , parties , and aectx , and from so many different places , contribute to make this cell a Bethel to its prisoner occupant . It « si intended to destroy my inflnence and crush xny principles , but G * d has overruled tbe malice of my proad aad ignorant foes , and has made my incarceration the stepping to usefulness which I never could have aecofflpiishsd had I been left at large .
I pray to'Sod that aa my writings , which now are lead by iise most influential men in England , may be in accordance trith tea bo ] y Word , and that they may be tbe taeaas - « f delivering tia poor , oppressed factory children , aad -tafeir parents , from that ttate of misery and degradation into which the ignorance and the avarice of thsktSBpIoyers have plunged-them . I hope atoa to be ssdsi in releasing toe two orders , which ha » e bean made the immediate instruments of my perleeution , tl ^ e * lergy * and aristoeraej ¦}• from the mists * nd bonds by which , they are enveloped , and in -which they are bound . 2 Caj , my friend , this confined cell seems daily to « alargemy , h *» rt , and I hope I shall not be released hence , until J have convinced the icy , benighted , sordid factory masia » , that their interest is interwoTen with the well , bfeing of all who are engaged in their works . Xes , yes , my heart warms -when 1 think of you all , and I begin to think that the day is 4 jawning when tbe labourer shall take his scriptural place at Xatore ' s board , and be the first partaker of * be fruits . God eamX ii . Amen .
You ask me if I bare &ny suggestion ? None , save tttk : —Let nothing be done or cud which may grieve or annoy a / persecatars . The war is theirs , not mi » e . leU all mr friend * tfcat they are very dear to me . Remind the children , . especially the factory children , that their king lores them .

Oastter and the R « v . Mr . Boll far the factory children , and also upon the effects of machinery and several Other topics , in tbe course of wbieb . be waa leveral times cheered bj the assembly . Tbe band here struck up a tune ; after which Mr . Cbjlbtrbb , from London , next addressed the company . He had known Mr . Oastler from the commencement , of the agitation xappecttog tbe factory system . He baa been in London lately , and had seen Mr . Oastler ob Thursday last , when he said he wished to be remembered to his Bradford friends—subjects be might call them—and he ( Mr . O . ) said , if he should die in London , he sincerely trusted his bones might be brought down to Yorkshire to be buried . ( Loudcheers . ) He ( Mr . Crabtree ) had witnessed tbe effects ol tbe factory system in America , and he had seen the tears of the
fathers and mothers who wished they had men like Oastler , Bull , and Wood , " of Bradford , such as were in England , to advocate the cause of the factory children there . ( Loud applause . ) Mr . Oastler had never stated . In private what he would not do In public , and he would never state that which he did not think was the truth . A gentleman had said to him that day ,. that he could not countenance a man who told a lie , meaning that Mr . Oastler bad uttered one ; bathe ( Mr . Crabtree ) had told him that Mr . Oastler would not tell a lie- In regard to the factory question , they all knew what Mr . Oastler had done , bat they did not know what he had done in the Poor Law question . What did the Poor Law Commissioners do . » They sent a number of the agricultural labourers from tbe rural districts , and thus swamped the manufacturing districts with a
number of unempl oyed bands , which made- the condition of the working classes still worse than it was before . He knew of families in the neighbourhood of Ripponden that were living In barns , and had not blankets to cover them with at night , and were lying on nothing bat straw . ( Shame , shame . ) Oastler had told the tyrants of ^ Somerset House and tbe country of this . Let them look at the consequences of these people working at lower wages , and competing with Other bands . Whilst Oastler opposed that system , they could not get hold of him—he told the truth about them—so they Bent word to Thornhill to dismiss him from bis service and imprissn him , for had it not been for that , the Poor Law would have been repealed . He ( Mr . Crabtree ) said It did not now stand in a good position . ( Sear , hear , hear . ) They were
t « ld it would work in the manufacturing districts . If they ( the meeting ) saw how it operated in these districts , they would be almost ready to tesr cut ef their houses those who were in favour of it . He had been sent down by Mr . Fielding—a gentleman who had opposed that bill from its eoinmen < .-ement , and who would continue to do so if well supported by the people with numerous petitions . They h * d beard of tbe effects the Poor Law would have on men of good characterbe would tell them what it was . A man of good character , they said , ntver would go into the work-jousehe would always manage to keep out . Now be bad been determined to try the tffett of this . He bad gone
to a place in Bedfordshire , adjoining the estate of Lord Joha Russell , and bad there found a man who had worked -rita one master for sixteen years , which th « y knew was a character of itself . He hod a certificate of his good character . This man , when the old Poor Law was in force , used to have somu little assistance in tbe shape Of out-door relief . In consequence of this being withheld , he was ebliged to break up his small establishment , and dispose of his little property . He commenced eating his furniture , as be might call it , bit by bit . He then went to the workhouse , and , after having been there three mouths , came out again with Vis wife and family , who were
"Cast abandoned on the world ' s wide stage , And doomed in scanty poverty to roara . " However , a kind farmer took compassion upon him , and allowed him to go into his born . He and hla family remained in the stack garth ( 33 it was called in Yorkshire ) f « r two nights , and thfcir only covering was an old coverlet He -went again into the workhouse , and remained there for two more months , and after being there leaves once-more , and takes an old cottage , without doors or -windows , and any furniture , and begs a little straw to make beds for himself and family to lie upon . Tbty lie down on thesa more like dogs or beasts of any kind , than human being ? . His constitution is now broken up , and he goes to a farmer to get work . He gets something to do , and the first or second night he applies for his ls . 6 d . for his day ' s work ( for he was obliged to get it daily to supply the wants of bis family ) when the farmer tells him he
cant do his work . On the third night he goes , and the farmer says " I don't w » . nt you any mora : I won't be bothered with yea . " Aft « r this he goes to the workhouse and dies . ( Cries of " Shame , shame , " and expressions of deep indignation . ) What he / Mr . Crabtree ) -would a ^ k was tha t short « f murder ? His wife came out afterwards : poor creature . ' the could not bear to stay where her hunland had di « l . HLs two daughters leave also ; ' they aro separated from the mother , and she does not knuw what has become of them or where they are . Such was the effect upon the man of good character : jet Lord John Russell had said theTe was no distinction bet * etn the deserving and the undeserving under tho old law , whilat this had happened undei the new . He | Mr . C . ) sincerely hoped they would sever permit the law to be introduced into Bradford . ( The speaker then eat down amidst loud cheers , and cries of "AVo won ' t' ')
The CllAlRMAX then put the address , and it was unanimonsiy adopted , with the most hearty and unequivocal tokens of approbation . Mr . Aceroyd give out another hymn which was sung as aefore , by the company standing , and partly accompanied by the band . Three cheers were given at the conclusion . Three hearty and enthusiastic cheers were also given for tbe " good old ting . " 3 Ir . Hosler proposed and Mr . Buckler seconded a vote of thanks to the Chairman , which be acknowledged in a brief , but appropriate ipeech . Three cheers were given for tho thirteen majority against the Rural Police ; three more far the Rev . G . S . Bull , of Birmingham ; and three , in conclusion , for the ladies who had honoured Mr . Oastler by attending tbe festival . The assembly then dispersed , a little after ten o ' clock , all apparently highly gratified by the evening ' s proceedings .

The Clebk of the Peace having read the usual proclamation against vico and immorality , The Recobdsb addressed the Grand Jury . He said there was very little in the calendar that called for observation , and he was the less disposed to detain them by any lengthened remarks , because the demands on their time would be unusually great , in consequence of the large number of prisoners for trial at the present SegBioni . He was willing , however , to hope that this was rather to b « i attributable to increasing activity of the offisera of police , than to any increase of crime among the inhabitants of this great city . The demand upan their time would be very severe , but it would bo still more bo upon the petty jury and witnesses . He was sure they
would give their time cheerfully to the discharge © 1 the public business ; but in connection with the subject , he might mention that , in order to obviate the inconvenience which might arise from a protracted sessions , a Bill was brought ) into Parliament three or four years ago , by Mr . Stuart Wortley , then Member for . Halifax , for empowering the Town CounoUs of Boroughs to represent to the Recorder if any sessions was likely to occupy more than throe days , which would authorise the Recorder to appoint an Assistant Recorder to Bit for two days . One object of this Bill , which subsequently became law , was to savo expense to the borough , but the saving , perhaps , would not be very considerable after Davine the allowances to the additional officers
required . But the main object of the Bill was to save the time of those who were obliged to attend the sessions as Jurymen and witnesses . This division of the labour of the Court could only be effected with the sanction of the Town Council , for unless they represented to the Recorder that the business was likely to occupy more than throe days , there was no power to appoint an Assi s tant Recorder . He mentioned this matter because it had been supposed that the Bill provided for a permanent officer , whereas it could only bt applied for one sessions at a time , and then only with the consent of the Town Council . Referring again to the cases in the calendar , the Reoorder said that it would be found that several of the offences were committed whilst the parties were in a state of intoxication ; and with regard to suth cases , tho law was , that if
intoxication proceeded so far that a mau became ignorant of what he was about , and that ho did not know his own property or his own pocket from the property or the pocket of his neighbour , if au appropriation of property took place when intoxication proceeded so far , then it ceriaiRly was no crime , for there could be no crime without malice , and there could be no malice if a man did not know what se was doing , nor where he was . But if a man was on ' y so far intoxicated as to excite his spirits , and to make him careless whether he committed a crime or not , that did not « xc « ise or mitigate tho otfeuce , but it was an outrage againBt the law . The Learned Recerder , after somo few further remarks , dismissed the Grand Jury to their room , with a request that they would return a bill us soon as they had found one .
HIOT AJH > ASSAULT AT HEADINQLKT . John Thtmpson , otherwise Lincoln Jack , a navigator , was charged with a misdemeanour . He was indicted at the last Leeds Borougu Sessions ( when a trua bill was found against him ) along with some others , for a riot , at Headingley , in which a very aggravated assault was committed upon a young man named Cooke . The particulars of the affray appeared in the Star at the time , and the question turned upon the identity of the prisoner , who absconded at the time , aad has only been recently apprehended . The jury , after hearing fully the evidence adduced , found a verdict of Guilty , and the Recorder sentenced him to bo imprisoned for five calendar months .
JUVENILE OFFENDER . A very diminutive girl , named Isabella IVise , aliaB Isabella Southern Wise , a ?; cd only ten years , was indicted for having stolen two glass bottlefl , the p ; operty of Mr . Thomas Toller Luccock . The girl pleaded at first guilty , but it appearing that a child under the age of ten years cannot be understood as being capable of knowing what they are about , the plea was withdrawn , ana tbe case was sent to a jury . It appeared that the robbery wa 3 committed at the
beginning of January , at which time the little girl went into the yard of tbe prosecutor , and found ^ er way to the bottle rack , from whence she stole two bottles . She was seen by » man servant , wHo caused ker to be taken into custody . She had been once before charged with felony , aud this led to her committal for this offence , ' ihe girl said she had been Bent by a boy , who offered to give her a penny for what bottles she could get . The jury found her Guilty , and the Recorder s ntenced her to be imprisontd six weeks in the borough gaol . '

THE "LEAGUE" MEN . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —I here send you a short account of the doings of the Com Law repealers in Lancaster . On Monday night , April 5 th , their grand demonstration took place—that is , a deputation from Manchester , consisting of Mr . Smith , President , Mr . Cobden , and olhers , met tbe electors of Lancaster . The meeting was called by pink ciiculars , which was a ticket of admission as well . Tho tickets were given mostly to the men employed by the WLig masters , and to those in the f&cUriee . I obtained a ticket , but was refused admittance for having opposed them on a previous occasion . Towards the close of the meeting , Mr . J . Earl rose to make a few remarks , but vra 3 interrupted by Cobden , and grossly insulted by Heworth , the Liverpool saint .
On the Tuesday Bight fallowing , a lecture was delivered at the Ship Inn , the head-quarters of the repealers , by the anti-Corn Law lecturer , Mr . Murray . I went , and challenged Mm or any other gentleman of the League , to discuss the question of the Corn Laws . The lecturer s&id be made it a rule to discuss With none but the advocates of the Corn Lawa . The landlord said it was his room , and there should not be a word said in it contrary to their side of the question , and two or three of the patty were going to fight for the truth of what he asid . In consequence of their refusing to discuss the subject , a meeting was called by the Chartists , which took place in the open air on Good Friday , at two O ' clock in the afternoon , when I fully exposed the falsehoods and meanness of the anti-Corn Law League , and proposed that the petition published in tbe Northern Star be adopted by the meeting . Mr . J . Harrison seconded it , and Mr . George Halston , from Preston , supported it . The petition was earned with only one dissentient voice .
I have only to add that with the doings of the League tbe honest men of their own party have become disgusted . Youra , &c , J . T . Lund . Lancaster , April 15 th , 1841 .

SO , Harwood-atreet , Camden Town , 8 th April , 1841 . Pear Sir , —I have received the address you hare forwarded to me . f must , however , decline appending my name to the same , as I cannot subscribe to some of the principles contained therein . For instance , that contained in the flist paragraph , as it Beema by implication to deny their rights \ o those who may be supposed not sufficiently educated to make a go « d use of then , which will at once give a handle to the enemies of the cause , and encourage them to persist in their denial of the people ' s rights . I totally dissent from ttie idea that these rights are to b « basod upon any thing but their birth-right qualification as men . Indirectly this wonkl raise ma knowledge
qualification , or a moral qualification , neither of which are legitimate bases of sound constitutional liberties , as they are In many instances merely relative and referable to tbe arbitrary standards of other men ' s opinions . As well might we deny the right of national government to what are called savage tribes , under the plea that that they are too ignorant and self-willed to exercise such functions to their own advantage To look back to History . What is the origin of the Koman State ? A number of robbers , the outcasts > f other states , congregated together and ! aid « tue foundation of atl Elective Monarchy , -whl » h being based upon the people . at last won for tbe people their rights , while it developed tbe moral virtues of fortitude , patience , perseverance , and temperance , not as the cause , but the consequence .
With respect to anotker paragraph which casts blame upon the meetings of the people ; considering the circumstances , I am not disposed ; to visit them with any harsh censure . I never remember attending any inetitingB of the people which were not orderly conducted , which is more than can be said for tbe meetings of the other classes ; for example , that called in connection with the Sheriffs of London , where Messrs . Hume and Warburton , tea ., took so active a part—the first and only time— -1 happened to be present wheu the Riot Act was road . I do not understand what is meant by the allusion to the people " aping tho proceedings of a tinselled and corrupt aristocracy , " aa I do not recollect ' any display beyond what was fairly admissible ; for example , the triumphal procession on tbe entry of Mr . Collins into Birmingham .
Taking this view of tbe address as a whole , and observing the secondary position which the Charter occupies under the equivocal title of a " IVational Association of the United Kingdom , for promoting the Political and Social Improvement of the People , " I feel I would not be justified in becoming a member of the proposed Association . " I am , dear Sir , Yours , he ., William Villier * Sanxbt . To Mr Lovett , 183 , Tottenham Court Road .

ingtqHAisS ^) S' - - Ba 3 TBB Mowpat . —Monday being a kind of lflMRy * * ia eonseqaenoe of Easter , this town preseiMpiU usual display of club processions , tea pftM , &e . Amongst in © former , the society of Odd Eeliw , atoAed out in their ^ ymbolioal dresses of leather aprons and white gloves , preceded by a band of musicians in soldiers'jackets , took the most prominent part , and caused a sensation among the women and children , by raising a belief that a party of military had come to raise reartu ' tB for the Chinese war . Another display of a somewhat different nature was presented to the view of the public in the pleasure grounds of tbe Rector of the parish , where the children and teachers folonKinff to the National School were
Buffered to divert themselves in different games and pastimes , after , partaking of tea . This annual exhibition , which w , as established by Mr . Bury , the late Rector , was conducted upon principles . quite in accordance with the present classified state of society in this country . On one part of the ground were to be seen the siokly-looking ohildren of the poor , rejoicing in their momentary respite from tkeir unnatural lubour in the factories , and whose appearance both' in person and apparel bespoke the sad poverty of the parents , by an attempt to make them look clean and decent without having the means to do so . * Another party consisted of the teachers of these poor factory slaves , principally poor men , who were engaged in playing at ball and other similar amusements . Another ' group , elevated in a small degree above actual manual labour , formed a select party of their own , and
enjoyed themselves in a similar manner ; while above all , and totally distinct from the general throng , a number of small manufacturers , bankers' clerks , and others lately sprung from the ranks of the labouring class , represented tho aristocracy of tho town , and condescended to gratify the other inferior mortals by indulging themselves in a game at ball oh the same ground . This kind of diversion was continued till evening , and appeared to afford great pleasure to all parties concerned . — 'Hie Chartist ' s opened the Working Man ' s Hail , about sis o ' clock in the evening , for the recreation of their members and young persons , in . dancing , singing , and reciting . They were admitted l > y paying a penny each , for . the support of the Hall , and were supplied with all tho usual tee-total beverages of a coffee-house at a reasonable rate . The evening was enjoyed in a manner becoming rational and intelligent beings , till about eleven o ' clock .
