The subject of this brief memoinras born in St . ¦ Peter ' s Sqnare , Leeds , on . tie 20 th of December , J 1789 . He . was the son ( the youngest of * eight chil . &en ) of Robert Oastxeb , -whose father lived on the -paternal estate at Moorbxrase , Kirkby Wiske , in the INorfii Riding of YorksMre . . His forefathers and the -firefetfceraef fiie present Eakl of Hjjikh-ood were jsoietaatial yeomen , occupying neighbouring farms ,
fcflowingr the same pursuits , and connected together bj business and friendship for many generations . Robeht Oastler , when a young man .,-was led on . serious reflection , to embrace the doctrine of self-• graying and devoted piety , as preached by the apos"toBcWxsLET . Every species of entreaty and per--saaaon being found ineffectual in affecting > any .-change in his religious resolutions , he was banished irem . Iris father ' s house . But another home was ^*> an protided for Mm . His uncle John Oastleii , - * j £ XMrsk , adopted him as his own child ; and under Ms parental care he continued many years at Tkarsk , -where he became personally acquainted
irii Mr . TTeslet . This acquaintance npened into --a ^ mote than common friendship , Mr , Robert Ofsnjsa's house being Wesley ' s home , -whenever he visited Thirsk and its neighbourhood , in the coarse - of Hs itineracy as the great missionary of England . The cause of Methodism in Tbiisk and the adjacent -country , owes much to the piety , benevolence , and « id ofvMr .-RoBERT Oastleb , It may be mentioned that , on the last visit he ever paid to that part of England , and very shortly before his death , Mr . Wesxey toot little Richabd up in his anas and Ijfessed him—a ceremony often performed by that venerable man upon the children of his pious fol-¦
lowers . ~ - -.--WithRoBEBTOASTiEa , we believe , first originated ~ the practice of Interring the dead in Methodist ground , no burial places being at that period attached- to thai chapels or preaching houses . On 3 le melancholy death of his son Robert , -who was idBed at Marshalvs factory , Leeds , it was the father's wish that he should be interred in the-ground attached to the Old Chapel in that town . -. None " of Arr Mrftindint preachers , however , would perform
the visual service , all of them refusing to sanction rsuch an innovation upon their established forms . 3 £ r . Ojlstler persisted in his determination , and prevailed upon a Baptist minister to inter the corpse . " 31 ms began the practice , now general , of perform-: Sag the rites of burial as well as the other rites of -&e fihureh in the Methodist Society- In that grave lie the Oastusbs of three generations , Robebt and Sarah , Mr . Oastleb's father and mother ; Robebt aad Sa&ah , his sister and brother ; and Robebt and Sauah , Ms o-rti infant son and daughter .
At the tune of Kiiaham's division , Mr . Robert OastLeb , considering the conduct of the conference . arbitrary and tyrannical , left the old body , and supported the Secession . He -was one of "the comparatively few men of substance who had the courage to « row their principles , and to maintain the religions liberty of the people as asserted by Mr . Killham . He continued one of the principal members of the Methodist NeW Connection nil within a few Tears
-of his death ; hut at last yielded to the solicitations -of several ofhis oldfriends , andretumed to the original society , in the bosom of which he died , respected ¦ a t l&s death , as he had been beloved- in Ms lifetime , by all who had the opportunity of knowing and appreciating the sterling excellencies ofhis -truly manly character . He was chiefly distinguished hj a benevolence as unwearied as it was extensive , and by ihose intellectual qualitieB that would have made lim celebrated , had he been favoured with the
ad--rantage of a corresponding education in early £ fe-In politics he was at first a Tory , but afterwards became a -Reformer , or , as it was then termed , a ~* Tom Painer . " On coming to reside in Leeds , he ¦ xras very active in establishing debating societies an one of which he became acquainted with Edwabd -Baixes . Conceiving him possessed of good natural ^ abilities , he took him by the hand , and patronized iimto the utmost of Ms power . It was by the assistance vtf Mr . Oastixb , and one or two other friends , that Mr . Baises was enabled to purchase the copy--right of the Leeds Mercury , the source of Mr , Saises' wealth , and the great engine of Whig
deji || k > n in the West Riding of Yorkshire . Mr . pgBJiKirT Oastler died the strenuous advocate of f S ^ ffrijaciples of liberty , as denned and understood " ~ i > jr the leading patriots of Ms day . He was a cloth merchant by trade , but gave up business when the ajewly invented gig-mills came into use , looking -sipon such an application of macbiDery as a means -of oppression on the part of the rich , and of corresponding degradation and misery to the poor . He ¦ wa s the father of the agitation on behalf of the 31-used and neglected climbing boys , in which he spent much time as well as money . He wak engaged in many other charitable and philanthropic nnder-. takings during the course of his very active aiid truly benevolent life . But let this short sketch suffice .
Of Mr . Oastleb ' s mother we shall say but little , as it would be in vain to attempt a description of a character like hers , in the space assigned to this brief memoir . She was a Christian , but never « msged out of * the retired and private sphere , within which she thought the unobtrusive qualifies ¦ of the -female character should naturally be confined . She was amiable towards all she knew—affectionate towards those she loved—the Mother and the Wife at home- ^ and thai 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
poorbut noiseless and unostentatious in all she did ¦ to alleviate their -distress . She spoke evD of bo o 3 qs—nor did -any ever speak evil of her . Her nafive s&engih of character enabled her to bear the trials of life with astonishiHg composure . She was patient in suffering ; and . re-. fflgned under every bereavement , lived without reproach , without an enemy ; and was in death honoured , lamented , and revered by all who knew her . - She was the daughter of Mr . Joseph Scurry of Leeds , of an ancient and honourable family . Her grandmother was so universally beloved for her acts -of charity , that she was called the Dorcas of Leeds . -She is buried in the North Porch of the Parish ¦
-Church , Leeds . " Richabd Oasixeb , when eight years . old , was sent to Folneck , the celebrated Moravian settlement , to ¦ receive the benefits of the admirable system of education , for which that institution has so long been famous . He remained here eight years ; and we iave often heard Wm speak in the most glowing aad feeling ; manner of his recollections of that
period , and more particularly of the affection-^ Jte and truly paternal character of that extraordinary sad exemplary man , the late Hesbt Stezsbaveb , his learned tutor , kind monitor , and ^ faithful friend . Mr . Qastleb always attributes what merit may be thought due to the exertions of las after life to the labours of that great and good man , yrho taught all his pupils to fear God , to xwereace the truth—to lore one another , and to act ,

atall times and under all circumstance * , 'from , fixed and unalterable principles of integrity and virtue . Overthe tomb of STErsHAtnBR , Mr . Oastler is re- < presented as leaning in the accompanying portrait A view of Fulneck appears in the distance . The associations of childhood appear to have exerted no small influence in the formation- of Mr . Oastler's character . Mother , father , home , school , his brethren , and his God—these and such like , were the first , and hare ever since "been the deepest , and the holiest impressions onlni 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 attributes 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 arismg from this refusal affected him deeply , and gave him an aversion to leading and study . He felt as though every hope of after life 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 deciding on the propriety , should any vacancies occur in the Board of Directors , of filling up such vacancies . This announcement called forth a full column of Mercurial obsei ^ rations , fears and advices . Accordingly at the appointed time a full meeting of the Shareholders , Directors , and otheTs was assembled at the Court-Honse to transact this important business . -
Dr . 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 bv 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 be taken 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 wouIq suffer an impartial discussion of the questions which ¦ were about to be brought before mem . Another
point on which he felt a greater degree of difficulty , and which he thought was more 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 T 1 V orks , and who had the 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 abo 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 snll hoped th " e sp irit 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 parry , 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 much harmon y , and there were very 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 all recollect how serious , indeed , would be the responsibility which that individual would incur , who ' might , by any language , or in any other way , seriously endanger vie 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 his duty 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 been properly remunerated for his . services ; and secondly , whether hid 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 oSer of £ 500 , which they thought would more thau rep ay any
claim -which he might have upon the board . This offer had been refused by Mr . Fowler , _ who was desirous of being appointed assistant engineer with Mr . Leather . This was objected to by the Directors on two gronnds—because his services were not likely to be useful , —aud 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 mighthave rendered ^ but they would not place Tnm in a situation for which they believed neither his talents nor his experience qualified him . Johx Atkixsox , Esq ., solicitor , then appeared on
behalf of the director *; 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 hadJio power to elect any servant or officer other than the Clerk and the Treasurer . All other servants 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 , however , 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 might occur . -Mr . Barb fuHy ^ concurredin the sta tement of the law , as'givenby Mr . Afkmsoji . Mr . Blackbcrs also addedhis tesnoznony "k > the accuracy of Mr . Atkinson ' s statements . Many otherTemarks 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 .. Derham , who appeared to be the leading man ia favour of Mr . Fowler , begged to withdraw the three resolutions mentioned in the requisition . Dr . Williamsos then suggested , that before the meeting dissolved , it perhaps would only be doing justice to Mr . Leather , to request him to famish the meeting with any statement , with which he thought they might be interested jgarding the progress of the works . Mr . Leather then appeared and entered into a yariery 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 whieh ~ certain parts of the wtfrk would be executed , will scarcely bedeemed of general public interest . He -showed one or two of his plans , and ' slpedbis opinion that th ^ e pipes ( about which there had been some debate ) must either be two feet in diameter if the water , was to be supplied fron % Oldman's resercoo * , or a second reservoir would be required on ff ' ood / wuse Moo * . He also adverted to a superior , arrangement / in laying the pipes througheut tifcie 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 jpven to Dr . Williamson , far his services as Chairman , after-which the meeting separated . "

IBJSH MOTICIPAL RILL . 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 the ' y should omit the clauses erecting new corporations in sub s titution for the old . ,: . . . Sir R . PEEL said , that in order to enable him to answer that interrogatory , he must request from the Noble Lord an . answer to another question , —what course it was the intention of Government to take upon the subject of Irish Tithe , which had been recommended to the care of the House by tie speech from the Throne , in conjunction with Municipal Corporations and Poor Relief . . : Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Tithe question was in a peculi » T _ poisition . For four years it had been before Parliammi * withnnt a cnnclnsion . the Hanse of Lords liavinff » lwnra
_ rejected the bilk . He thought it unwise , considering ¦ the respect due to both branches of the Legislature , to bring on perpetual confiicU between the two Houses ; and this year , therefore , he should propose anew basis , of which Members would come to the consideration xinpledged . The measiu-e ought to be a comprehensive one ^ couibining security to the Chnrch 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 Itake a vote siffirming ene simple principle , but to submit several resolutions .- If the parties interested had really a wish for a settlement of the question , those resolutions might leud to thai ; settlement : if such a wish were not really felt , the question would not easily be settled by any plan that could be suggested to Parliament . He then read his proposed resolutions , which he said should be printed . ' .. ¦ :
Sir R . PEEL sa \ d he felt , as th * Duke « f W ELLINGTON did , how desirable would be a settlement of the ijnestioris that relate to Ireland . The poor-relief was in a favourable train , and he wished a similar agreement could be accomplished on the subject of tithe ; butsecurilufor thecliureh teat an indt ' spensffle preliminary . He hoped the committee on the Irish Municipal Bill was to be deferred till the Bense of . the House had been taken on these tithe resolutions ; if not , he : should move such a postponement , instead of the former instruction . Ujon the resolutions themselven he would now offer no opinion ; and on the . Municipal Bill he would give-no pledge beyond a wish for a Bettlemeat , if settlement were possible , tecurity being provided'for the church . ¦ ' . '_ ' . ' ¦ .. : . Mr .

The proclamation ; against vice and iminorahty having been read , the ; Learned Jud < ie proceeded to deliver his charge ,-to the following effect : —r lie felt the . seriousness auU importance of the business in whichhe was about to be engaged , for he was s-orry to say tlie calendar presented a feaiful siipect of crime . Here Avas no less than nineteen cases of deatli by violence . Six of them were for murder , and there were one or two other ? though denominated manslaughter , were , iii reality , ca ^ es of murder . It was important that it should be Icnown , that those persons committed for manslaugter might afterwards be iiwlicted for murder . His duty intheseciises was exceedingly painful , but inasmnch as it was hu duty lie must perform it .
Some of those cases were the result of that brutal mode of fighting so often resprteil to in Lancashire , and it would be his duty to punisli with thegreatest severityj any parties } who might be proved to have been the . instrument of death in this manner . His Lordship proceeded to define the difference between miirder andmahslaiighter . Itwas necessary to con ^ stitute manslaughter , that there should be some actual provocation . Words alpne were not sufficient , for there was a case of a man named Davies'who had knocked down his wife and kicked her ; hi consequence of which she died . That he considered a case of m ' tirde . r : His Lordship proceeded to ^ pom-Tnenton a variety of similnr cases according t 6 their number iii the calendar , on each of which he gave
some opinion ; He said there was another case ^ which was not in the calendar , the party , who was a sqrgepn . being out on bail . It was th ^ e : case of a surgeon who had attended a femnle iii child-bearing . He had attended her before , and it whs her ninth child ^ : She had befo re had very easy times . He desired her husdand tp goto to his house and bring a powder which seemed to be opium , or . something which had . the effect of delaying the labour . Th ^ medical men who had been examined said the treats ment ought to ; have been directly the contrary . It appeared that the surgeon had to go somewhere else at a distance , and that he left word that another medical man was . to be called in if -needful . The female ^ it app eared , would not ' at first consent to
this ; but , at length , as she became very ill , ; other medical men were called in . They found the child was dead , and she : had to be " .. delivered- by instru ^ ments . She was so much exhausted by the operation that she died . If they found that a siirgeon had been guilty of gross liegUgence , he was undoubtedly atoenable to tlie law ; if not , it would be a ; fearful thing to pnt a medical man on his trial in consequence of a death , when the nature of his avoca ' tions so freqtiehtlV called him to attend cases of extreme danger . The surgeon here . . ' was attending a person at a distance ^ and the case was involved in some doubt . He next referred to the case of John Ryan , which he considered one of miirder . There was also a ense of a woman who had
smothered a child between two mattrasses , which was either murder or hpthiiig . The case of Charles Wbrtlungtpn was certainly one of inanslanghter , though he was charged witi murder ; There Were also Several plaiii cases of mdrder . Such as the Prisoner , w'hp was charged with the piurder of JonatnairFielden , keeper of the workhouse at Prestwich ; the case of William Hill , for the threefold crime of rape , robbery , and murder ^ on the person of Betsy Minslmllj near Warringtpn ; and Other cases : of a similar nature . There were other cases very serious : that oiMary ¦ Sheridan , who w ; as charged with the attempt to poison another , young woman , by sending her a pudding strongly iinpregn ' ate'd with arsenic .-In that ease the partv was
certainly liable to transportatioh . There were also several serious cases ot robbery : one for poaching , in which a g « mekeepe ' r uas shot ; and there were some for uttering- base coin . There wore four or five cases of bigaWy . In soine of thehi , both parties appeared to have bperi aware of the circumstances . One of the prisoners said he thought his wife was dead , but that was no excuse at nil , because the act protected only by not having heard from the party for seven years . If seven years . elapsed without the parties seeing , or hearing from e ^ ach other , they might -marry , again ; not that the second marriage would in any case be valid , but the party / woTiid thereby escape punishment ; His loMship stated that he had no further observations to make , and the Grand Jury retired to the discharge of their duties . ¦ . ; ¦ ¦"
