The subject of this brief memoir was born in St . Peters Square , Leeds , on the 20 th of December , 1789 . He was the son ( the youngest of eight children ) of Robert Oastuer , -whose father lived on the paternal estate at Moorhouse , Kifkby Wiske , in the Iforth Hiding of Yorkshire . His forefathers and the forefathers of the present Eabl of Harewood were mbstaniial yeomen , occnpjing neighbonring farms , JaBowing the same pursuits , and connected together * bj boaness aad friendship for many generations .
Robert Oastler , when a yonng man , was led on canons reflection , to embrace the doctrine of selfdenying and devoted piety , as preached by the _ apostolic ^ eslet . -Erery species of entreaty and . persuasion being found ineffectual in affecting any change in Ma religious resolutions , he wag banished -from his- fetter ' s house . But another home was soon pro-rided for frvrn- His uncle Joh > - Oastleb , of Thirst , adopted hrm as his own child ; and under ias parental care he continued many years at Thirst ,- where he became personally acquainted 'with Mr . Wesiet . This acquaintance ripened into
a more than common friendship , - Mr . Robert jQastleb ' s house being Wesley ' s home , whenever he ¦ sisiied "Thirst and its neighbourhood , ; in the course -of his itineracy as the great missionary of England . The cause of Methodism in Thirst and the adjacent country , owes much to the piety , henevolenGe , and -aid of Me . Robert Oxstveu . It may be mentioned that , on the last visit he ever paid to that part of JSngland , and very shortly before his death , Mr . Wesley tDot little Richard up in his arms and Iblessed him—ra ceremony often performed by that -tenerable man upon the children of his pious followers . *
WithRoBEBT Oastleb , we believe , first originated the practice of interring the dead in Methodist £ Eound , no burial places being at that period attached to their chapels or preaching houses . On . tie melanchol y death of his son Robert , who was IBled at Makshall ' s factory , Leeds , it was the fai&er ' s wish that he should be interred in the ground attached to the Old Chapel in that "town . None of &e Methodist preachers , however , would perform fiie usual service , all of them refusing to sanction
scch an innovation upon their established forms . 2 Sx . Oastler perasted in his determination , and prevailed upon a Baptist-minister to inter the corpse . Thus began the practice , now general , of performing the rites of burial as well as the other rites of rue ehnrchin the Methodist Society , In that grave "Be ihe Oastlebs of dree generations , Robebt and Sabah , Mr . Oastler's father and mother ; Robebt and Sabah , his sister and brother ; and Robert and Sabah , his own infant son and daughter .
At the time T > f Killham ' s division , Mr . Robert Oastleb , considering the conduct of the conference arbitrary and tyrannical , left the old body , and supparted the Secession . He was one of the comparasi « ely few men of substance wljo had the conrage to avow their principles , and to maintain the religious liberty of the people as asserted by Mr . Killham . He continued one of the ' printipal members of the Methodist Isew Connection till within a few years of his death : but at last yielded to the solicitations
cz several ofhisoldfnends , andretnrned to the original society , In the bosom of which he died , respected at his death , as he had been beloved in his lifetime , hj all who had the opportunity of knowing and appreciating the sterling excellencies of his tcaly manly character . He was chiefly distinguished by a benevolence as unwearied as it was extensive , and by those intellectual qualities that would have made Inm celebrated , had he been favoured with the advaatage of a corresponding education in early
In politics he was at first a Tory , but afterwards Isecame a Reformer , or , as it was then termed , a "" Tom Painer . " On coming to reside in Leeds , he ¦ was very active in establishing debating societies , In one of which he became acquainted with Edward -Baixes . Conceiving him possessed of good natural abilities , he took him by the hand , and xjatronized iiznto the utmost of his power . It was by the assist aace of Mr . Oastier , and one or two other friends , that Mr . Batses "was enabled to purchase the copyi ^ jht of the Leeds Mercury , the source of Mr . Buses' wealth , and the great engine of Whig de-3 as 3 » n in the "West Riding of . Yorkshire . Mr
Robert Oastleb died the strenuous advocate " of fte principles of liberty , as defined and understood by ihe leading patriots of his day . He was a cloth ByrrJrant by trade , but gave up business " when the newly invented gig-mills came into use , looking mpon . such an application of machinery as a-means « f oppression on the part of the richyand of corresponding degradstion and misery to the poor . He ^ ras the father of the agitation on behalf of the 21-xsed and neglected climbing boys , in which he spent much time as well as money . He was engaged ia -tnanj other charitable and philanthropic undertakings during the course of his very active and truly l > enesoient life . But let thi * short sketch suffice .
Of Hr . Oasxler ' s mother we shall say bnt little , os it would be in vain to attempt a description of a character like hers , in the space assigned to this faief memoir . She was a Christian , but never emerged out of the retired and private" sphere , -within which she thought the nnobtrnsive qualities * f ihe female character should naturally be confined . < &e was amiable towards all she knew—affectionate towards those she loved—the Mother and the" Wife 3 Bt horne ^—and that home was Mrs . Oastler's world . "She was kindness and gentleness itself , and yet full of activity ; of the most sprightly , playful , and joyous disposition—always doing good to the
poorimt noiseless and unostentatious in all she did to alleviate their distress . She spoke evil of no one—aior did any ever speak evil of her . ' -Her atofive strength of character enabled her to"bear the trials of life with astonishing composure . She -was patient in snffering ; and reisigjBed under every bereavement , lived without sepsoach , without an enemy ; and was in death lionoured , lamented , and revered by all who knew her . She was the daughter of Mr . Joseph Scurr , of ¦ Leeds , of an ancient and honourable family . Her ^ gcandmother was so universall y beloTed for her acts m £ charity , fhairshe was called the Dorcas of Leeds . She is "buried in tie North Porch of the Parish
Church , Leeds . , fiywawn Gastleb , when eight yeara old , was sent to Fulneck , Ha celebrated Moravian , settlement , to receive the benefits of ihe admirable system of education , for which that institution has so long-been famous . He remained here eight years ; and we % * ce often heard him speak in the-most glowing * sd feeling . manner of his recollections of that
period , and more particularly of the aflectionjxte and truly paternal character of that extra-^ qrdinary and exemplary juan , the late Hesbt SjsraHAUEa , his learned tutor , kind monitor , acd fSffiful friend . Mr . Oastleb always attributes -wistment may be thought due to the exertions of Ja « Ja / fcerJifeto thebaboure of that great and good Stan , who tanght all his pupils to fear God , to awBtwnce ( be truth—to lore one another , and to act ,

at afl times and Tinder all circumstances , from fixed and unalterable principles of . integrity and virtue . Over the tomb of Steishaueb , Mr . Oabtler is re presented as leaning in the accompanying portrait . A tiew of Folneck appears in the distance . The associations of childhood appear , to have exerted no small influence in the formation of Mr . Oa 8 tleb' 8 character . Mother , father , home ,-school , his brethren , and his God—these and such like , were the first , and have ever since been the deepest , and the holiest impressions on his mind , and go far to furnish us with a key to the composition of his moral character , which is made up of the simplest and yet the most sublime—the sweetest , and at the same time the most powerful and energetic attrimtes of human nature .
In his boyhood he had a strong wish to be brought up to the bar . This desire his father , from conscientious motives , refused to gratify . The disappointment arising from this refusal affected him deeply , and gave biTn an aversion to reading and study . He felt as though every hope of after Hfe was crushed at once ; and saw no use in pursuing the path of learning , from the end of which the goal of his ambition had been withdrawn . We consider this well-meaning but mistaken interference on the part of Mr . Oastleb ' s father , as the cause of most serious injury to the development and cultivation of a mind naturally endowed with powers of the most extraordinary kind . ( To be continued in our next . )

^ LEEDS NEW WATER WORKS . On Monday last , a meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was convened according to advertisement , for the three-fold purpose of / attempting the appointment of Mr . Charles Fowler as engineer , or assistant-engineer to the said undertaking ; of discontinuing of the services Messrs . George Leather & Sox ; and of dedding on the propriety should any vacancies occur in the Board of Directors , of filling up such vacancies . This announce ment called forth a full column of Mercurial observations , feare and advices . Accordingly at the appointed time a full meeting of the Shareholders , Directors , and others was assembled at the Court-House to transact this important business .
I > r . Williamson being Chairman of the Board of Directors , was called upon to preside on that occasion . He stated that there had existed some doubt as to the legality of the meeting , inasmuch as it had not been convened by the Board of Directors , or by the Shareholders , as the Act of Parliament required , but by the Clerk of the Company , at the request of a few of the Shareholders . Although there was a departure from the strict technical mode in which the meeting ought to have been called , he begged to state that if any objection should betaken by any party on that ground , it was the wish of the Board of Directors that the design of the meeting might not be frustrated , but that the meeting would suffer an impartial discussion of the questions which were about to be brought before them . Another
point on which he felt a greater degree of difficulty , and which he thought was mon likely to result in a sine die adjournment of the meeting , was the fact that the Act of Parliament provided that the Directors alone were the persons who had -the entire responsibility of the W orts , and who had ihe power of engaging or dismissing all officers under the Company , except the Clerk and the Treasurer . For that reason it was probable an objection would be made as to the competency of this meeting to elect Mr . Fowler . It appeared also from the act that they were not merely a company of shareholders , but that the Town Council had the power of appointing one half of the directors , and that as a corporate body they had an interest in the
company equally with the shareholders themselves . If , however , any objection should be taken on the ground of the incompetency of the meeting to appoint any of the servants of the company , he still noped the spirit of harmony would not be interrupted , and that their discussion would be peaceable . He regretted that they should now be in a state of division upon some of the most important points . The present directors represented so fully the feelings and wishes of every party , class , and interest of our . great community , that there seemed no longer the slightest probability of the proceedings of this body being seriously interrupted , or any question arising upon which much difference - of opinion could be entertained . -In the general meetings of the directors there had been nauch hanneny , and there were reir few occasions on
which they had been materially opposed to each other . At length , however , a material question had arisen , producing a great division in the body of the shareholders ; and whether or not they came on that occasion to any conclusion materially relating to that question of dispute , he did hope that the discussion would be conducted in a spirit of fairness and candour , and that they would ali recollect how serions , indeed , wonld be the responsibility which tbat individual would incur , who might , by any language , or in any other way , ser iously endanger the carrying into effect that work which was of so much importance tc the town . ( Hear , hear . ) After a few other observations respecting the importance of the undertaking , and Ins dnty as
chairman on that occasion , he concluded by calling upon Mr . Barr to read the report of the Board of Directors-Mr . Barr , clerk to the company , then read the report , which after adverting to the notice calling the meeting stated that there were two principal ^ questions on which the Board of Directors were at issue . First , whether Mr . Fowler had heen properly remunerated for his services ; and secondly , whether his services were likely to be useful to the company . Mr . Fowler had already received £ 300 for services rendered , and the board had made a further offer of £ 500 , which they thought would more than repay any claim whichhe ' might have upon the board . This offer had been reftised by Mr . Fowler , who was desirous of being appointed assistant engineer with
Mr . Leather . This was objected to by the Directors on two grounds ^—because his services were not likely to be useful , —and because to employ him would be an additional and unnecessary charge to the company . ( Hear , hear . ) The directors , considering these things , would be no party to the appointment of Mr . Fowler . They had offered him what they considered a more than adequate compensation for any services he might have rendered ; but they would not place frim in a situation for which they believed neither his talents nor his experience qualified him . John Ateissox , Esq ., solicitor , then appeared on behalf of the directors ; he said he objected to the meeting as being illegal : but not to press that objection it was manifest from the act of Parliament that
they had no power to elect any servant or omcer other than the Clerk and the Treasurer . All other servant * of the company were , by act of Parliament , to be appointed by the Board of Directors , in whom all the powers of the shareholders were invested . Such was the substance of his argument ; and therefore he maintained it to be impossible for that meeting to remove the present , or appoint another engineer . This disposed of the first two propositions in the requisition . The third was to supply any vacancy that might occur in the . Board of Directors . ' This , howevpr , the shareholders could not do , because that power also was vested in the Board of Directors themselves , by whom , the Act of Parliament directed , any vacancies were to be filled up that mi ? ht occur .
Mr . Babr fully concurred in the statement of the law , as given by Mr . Atkinson . ^ Mr . Blackbcbx-also added his testiomony to the accuracy of M * Atkinson ' s statements . Many other remarks were made by other gentlemen , which , however , did not affect the question at issue ; and as the opposition was not at all strong , Mr . Atkinson proposed to the meeting three resolulutions to the effect , " That the Shareholders had the fullest confidence in the Board of Directors ;—that ' , it was incompetent for that meeting to take any step in the removal or appointment or any engineer or other officer;—and that it do now dissolve . " To avoid the necessity of passing these resolutions , . Mr . TXebham , who appeared to be the leading
man ia favour of Mr . Fowler , begged to withdraw the three resolutions mentioned in the requisition . Dr . Williamson then suggested , that before the meeting dissolved , it perhaps would only be doing justice to Mr . Leather , to request him to furnish the meeting with any statement , with which he thought they might be interested rgarding the progress of the works . . . ...-.. . - Mr . Leatheb then appeared and entered into a variety of statements , which were principally intended to furnish a contrast between his own and Mr . Fowler ' s estimate of the work . He went . through a variety of detals , which , as they principally related to the manner in which certain parts of the work
would be executed , will scarcely be deemed of general public interest . He showed one or two of his plans , and stated his opinion that the pipes ( about which there had been some debate ) must either be two feet in diameter if the water was to * be supplied from Oldman ' s reservoir , or a Becond reservoir would be required on JFoodhouse Moor . He also adverted to a superior arrangement in laying the pipes througheut the town , by which ^ there would always be a constant supply of water in case of any fire . _ His statements being ended , a vote of thanks was given to Dr . Williamson , for his services as Chairman , after which the meeting separated .

1 KJSH MCXIC 1 HAL KILL . Lord JOHN RUSSELL took occasion to inquire of Sir R . PEEL whether he intended to move the same instruction as in former years to the Committee on the Irish Municipal Billthat they should omit the clauses erecting new-corporatious'in substitution for the old . Sir R . PEEL said , that in order toenable him to answer that interrogatory , he must request from the JJoble Lord an answer to another question , — -what course it ' was ' the intention oi Government to take upon the subject of Irish Tithe , which had been recommended to tlxe care of the House by the speech from the Throne , in conjunction with Municipal CorporatioDs and Poor Relief . ¦
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Tithe question was in a peculiar position . For four yeaTs it had been before Parliament , without a conclusion , the House of Lord * having always rejected tlie bills . He thought it unvrise , considering the respect due to both branches of the Legislature , to bring on perpetual conflicts between the two Houses ; and this year , therefore , he should propose a new basis , of which Members would come to the consideration unpledged . The _ measure ought to be v . comprehensive one , combining security to the Church with satisfaction to the Irish people . He would introduce such a measure to the House on the 30 th of April , : on which day , however , he should not propose to take a vote afSrminc one simple principle , but to submit several resolutions . If the parties interested had really a wish for a settlement of the question , those resolutions might lead to that settlemeiit : iTsuch a wish werenot really wit , the question would not easily be settled by any plan that could be suggested
to Parliament . HethenTeau ms proposedresolutions , ' -which * he said should be printed . . . Sir R . PEEL said he felt , as the Duke of WELLJNGTON did , how desirable would be a settlement of the questions that re 2 ate to Ireland . . The poor-relief was in a favourable train , and he wished a similar agreement could be accomplished on the subject of tithe ; but iecurityfor £ /« s church vas an vidjgyeiisilie preliminary . He hoped the committee on' the Irish Municipal Bill was to be defenvi till the sense of the House had been taken on these tithe resolutions ; if not , he should move such a postponement , instead of the former instruction . Upon the resolutions them *> lven he ; would aow offer no opinion ; and on the Municipal Bill he would give no pledge beyond a wish for a settlement , if settlement were possible , security being prozidedfor the church . Mr . WARD withdrew his motion relative . toi the petition of Sr C . Eardley Smith , which complained of tn « practice of pjiy-Ing head-money a ^ P ^ ntefract . ' , V -In answer to a question from Sir ROBERT PEEL ,
Mr . BA 1 NES stated that it was the intention of Sir G . STftiCKiJiND to bring forward nis motion respecting negro apprenticesHp on Thmsday . : . ¦ . Sir R . PEEL said that , " as under these circumstances there was every reason to anticipate four nights discussion , he should like to be inf 9 nned what arrangement was proposed with respect to the Controverted Elections Bill , The Spanish qnestion would probably occupy to-night and to-morrow , and ihe motionhe had before referred , to would doubtless occupy Thursday and Friday /' Lord John RUSSELL said , having that ¦ unhappy prospect before them , he should propose that the Controverted Elections Bill be taken ou Monday . .. r Lord ELIOT men rose , pursuant to notice , to call the Attention of the House to the order in council , permitting her Majesty's subjects to enter the service of her Catholic Majesty - .

. WUham Gerard Wabrisley , Esq . Westwood . The proclamatidh against vice and immorality hajing been read , the Learn « ci Ji / DrjE proceeded to deUver hia charge , to the following effect : — -. He felt tlve seriousness aud importance of the business in which he was about to be engaged , for he ^ wad sorry bo say thei calendar presented a fearful aspect of crime . Here was lib less than nineteen cases of death by violence . Six of theni were for murder , and there were one or two others though dehomiiiated niaiislaughter , were , in reality , cases of murder . It was important that it should be known , that those personii committed for manslaugter inigbt afterward ^ be ^ iudicted fpr murder . iHis duty in these cases was exceedingly painful , but
inasmuch aa it was his duty he must ; perform it . Some of those cases were the : result of . that brutal mode of fighting so often rscorted to in Laiicashire , aiid it wduid be his duty to punish with the greatest severity , any parties . / who iiiight be proyed to have been the instrument of death in this manner . His Lordshipprpcec'ded to define the difference between murder and manslaughter . It was necessary to cohr stitnte manslaughter , tliat there should be some actual provocation . Words alone were not sufficient , for there was a caVe of a man named DaVies who ha 4 knocked down his wife and kicked her , in consequence of which she died . That he considered
a case of murder . His LordshiiJ proceeded to comment on a variety of similar cases accorJiiig to their number in the calendar j on each of ; which he gave some opinion . ¦; He Bnid there was another case , which was not in the calendar , the party , who \ yas a surgeon , being Out oh baiL It was the case of a surgeori who hadattended a ^ female in child-beariag . He had attended her before , and it was , her iiiiith child . She had before had very easy times . He desired her husdand to go to to his house and bring a powder which seemed to be ppiniri ^ or something wuich had the effect of delayiiig : the labour . The medical men who hiid been examined said the
treatment ought to have been directly the contrary . It iippeared that the surgeon had to go somewhere else at a distance , arid that he left word that another medicnl ;* inan . wte '; tp ; b > : - 'called / in ' . ^ U ' . ne ^ Hiul ' . - ' The female , it appeared , ; would not-at first consent to this j but , at length , as she became . very ill , other medical men were culled in ; They found the child was dead ^ and she had to be : delivered by instrument ? . She w ^ s so much exhausted by the operation that she died . If they found that a surgeon had been guilty of gross negligence ; he was undoubtedly amenable to the law j if not ; it would be a fearful thing to put a medical man on liis trial in consequence of a ! death , when the nature of his avocations so frequently called him to attend c&ses of
extreme danger . The surgeon here was attending a person at a distance , and the case v ^^ involved in some doiibt . He next inferred to the case of John RyJinV which he considered one of murder . There was also a case of k womaii who had smothered a child between two" mattrasses , which was either murder or nothing . The case of . Charles Worthiiigtpn was certainly one of manslaughter , though he was charged withmurder . There were also several plain cases of murder . Such as the prisoner , who was bhafged With the murder of JonathaivFi ^ derivkee per of tlie workhouse at Prestwich ; the case of William Hill , : for the threefold crime of rape , robbery ,-and ^ murder , on the pergon of Betsy Minshujl , near Warrington ; aiid othercases of a / similar nature . There were other cases very serious : that of . Mary Sheridan , who was charged with the attempt to poison another young
woman , by sending her a pudding strongly mipregriated with arsenic . In that case the party Waa certainly liable to transportation . There were also several serious cases ot robbery : one for poaching < in which a ganiukeeper was shot ; arid tueie were some for uttering base coin . There were four of five cases of bigamy . In some of them , both partiej ? aiipeared to have been aware of the bircuinstariceSi One of the prisoners said , he . thought his wife was dead , but that was no excuse at ally-because the act ¦ protected only b y not having heard from the party for seven years . If seven years elapsed without the parties seeing , or hearing from each other , they might marry again ; not that the second marriage would in any case be valid ; but . the party wpuld thereby escape punishment . His lordship stated that he had no further observations to make , and the Grand Jury retired to the discharge of their duties . . ¦'¦ . ' - ¦ * • ¦ . ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦; ' ¦ .
