yy FESTIVAL IN HONOUR OF MR . OASTLEB , AT BRADFORD . Tar ft ferr days past the Committee appointed to get iro a festital , at Bradford , i » bocour of ths King of the Factory Children , " or tbe " Gsod Old King , " (« Mr . Oastler is humorously but affectionately styled by those who appreciate bis humans and untiring exertion * , ) h » ve been very active and zealous in their endea-Tour to make the affiur sueeeed bo u to demonstrate tlis extent of their esteem and respect On Tae » day afternoon last , tha daj announced for t&e festiTal , the Temperance Hall was crowded by gronpa of young and old , taryiDg from the youthful admirer to the greyheaded old man , interspersed amoncat whom were not a few of the " sweet blooming young ones ; " and all ¦ were Terr respectably aitired , espedalij the females ,
¦ who were conspicuous for the neatness and elegance of their dress . An air of cheerfulness and hilarity beamed in the leatnrei of all , who evidently participated in tbe pleasures of the festival with great delight The heart of tbe " Old King" could not hare been lighted up with more pleasing homage had be teen a " reaJ King , " and they Ma oyrn subjects , than it would hare been had h » been present to witness tbe loyalty of bis voluntary lieges on the present occasion . The land of the R-yal Foresters wa » In attendance , and added to the effect of the festival , by playing various enlivening pieces before and daring tea time . The Temperance Hail is a rather plain and spacious , though somewhat elegant buildlnr , and was well suited for the
purposes of the r » rty . The whole of the arrangements , ¦ which , we were informed , were made by working men , reflected great crtdit on the- parties . An ample profusion of " tbe good things" was provided , as far as we cou'id see , for alL Mr . Oastlers portrait was exhibited in various places , sad many wore medals , bearing his profile on one aide , and a sketch of hia residence on the reverse . Before tea commenced , Mr . Auty gave out a versa of a hymn ., which was very well sung by the company standing . So numerous was the party , that after one pottian had taken tea , they were obliged to give wsy for another . There were between tot aad 7 » o persons present . When ail bad been-attended to , and the " crockery -Brare" was removed ,
Mr . Auty cams forward to say that , as it was necexmrj for some one to preside on the present occasion , he had great p l easure in moving Vhat a stanch old friend cf tbe good " Old King ' s , " Mr-Thorns Brooie , Should tate the chair . ( Load cheers . ) Mr . SPESCES seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . Mt Bkooke then took the chair amidst lcud plaudits . Ha expressed hia pleasure at meeting them on tbe present occ j 5 ob , and he was glad to perceive that his friend Mr . Oastler was such a friend with the ladies , as they showed him to be br their presence that erreDing . ( "Lcnti cheers . ) He only "wished he could have been present to have seen it for himself . They were met to promote the cansa of benevolence , and ia hononr of one who often practised it , ( Applause . ) He was sore be need not mention the name of Mr . Oastle ? as tha person to whora be alluded . He tail foasjht the
cattle of & certain disj for yexrs , and Vbocgh be had fought the battle ZSilocsly . and perfcspj rebeaentiy , If he Vtbe Chairman > Admitted thus much , which hia enemies brought ajpur . st Liia , it was only saying Mr . Oastler was cot a perfect man . He thought the ssme of O-istler wa ? as niceh connected with the Poor Law and the Factory question , as ths t of tbe "hero of a hundred fights" -was -with tie battles cf Silimanca ar . d Waterloo , ( Loud applause . ) Tiie Pocr Law bad met In Mm a determined opponent . Tlut law was a cruel law , an ur .-Eai . lish liw , and an unconstitutional law . There had been jxantfsste'l in the recent debates on the question a desire to modify thit law . To ¦ whom were they to attribute that ? To Richard Oastlet . ( Hear , hear . ) He had no dou \» t tiiflt if it passed , it would pass in a different , form to what it had hitherto apr-esrel in . Us tbongbt they would do away with tbs Corniais-icnera . With these fcir remarks , the cialrjeaa concluded .

Oastler and the Rev . Mr . Bull for tbe factory children , and also upon the effects of machinery and several other topics , in the coarse of which be was several times cheered by the assembly . The band here struck ap a tune ; after which Mr . Cbabtreb , from London , next addressed the company . He had known Mr . Cutler from the commencement of the agitation respecting the factory system . He had been in London lately , and had seen Mr Oastler on Thursday last , -when be said be wished to be remembered te his Bradford friends—subjects he might cill them—and be ( Mr . 0 . ) said , if he should die in London , he sincerely trusted his bones might be brought down to Yorkshire to bo butied . ( Loudcheers . He ( Mr . Crabtree ) had witnessed the effects of the
factory sysVem . in America , and he had seen the tears of the fathers and ' mothers who wished they bad men like Oastler , Bull , and Wood , of Bradford , such as were in Eagiand , to advocate the cause of the factory children there . ( Lond applaiue . ) Mr . Oastler had never stated in private ¦ wha . t ( bo ¦ wsu \ d not do in public , and he would never state that "which he did not think was the truth . A gentleman bad said to bim that day , that lie could not countenance a man who told a He , meaning tbat Mr . Oastler had littered one ; bathe ( Mr . Crabtree ) had told bim -that Mr . Oastler would not tell a lie . In regard to tbe factory qnestion , they all knew what Mr . Oastler had done , but tht-y did not know what he had done in the Poor Law question . What did tbe Poor Iaw Commissioners do ? Tbey sent a number of
the agricultural labourers from : h « rural districts , and thus swamped the manufacturing districts with a number of unemployed hands , which made the condition of the working clssjes still ¦ worse than it was before . He knew of families in the neighbourhood of Kipponden that were living in barn 3 , acd bad cot blankets to cuver them with at night , and were lying en nothing but Etraw . ' ( Sfcame , ehame . ) Oastler had told the tyrants of iSomereet House and tbe conntry of this . Let them look at the consequences of these people working at lower wages , aud competing with other Lands . Whilst Oastler opposed that system , they couid cot get bold of Mui— he told the truth about them—so they sent word tu ThoruLill to dismiss Lim from his service and imprison him , fur bad it not been
for that , the Poor Law -would have been repealed . He ( Mr . Crabtree ) said it did not now stand is a good position . ( Hear , htar , hear . ) Tbey were told it wou'd work in ths macuf-during districts . It they ( the meeting ) saw how it operated in thesa districts , tney wouid be almost ready to tear cut ef their liousts those who wero in favour of it . He had been sei . t down by Mr . Fielding—a geatltmau who had opposed that bill from its commencement , and ¦ Hho would co'itiune to do » o if well supported by the people with numerous petitions . They li . d beard of the effects the Poor Law would have on men of good characterhe would teil them -what it * vas . A man of good cbaracter , they said , ntver would go into the work
jousehe would always manage t >> kerp out . hovr he had been determined to try the tfieit of this . He hid gone to a placa in Bedfordshire , ai'joh . iug tbo estate of Lord John Russell , and bad there found a man . who had ¦ worked - * ita one misier for sixteen years , ¦ which they tnerr -eras a character of itself . Ho had a certificate of bis good character . This mat-., "when the old Poor Law w . ' . s in force , used to have som-j liitle assistance in the tli ^ pa ol ouVdw . T relief . In cout-vqutnee of this bting ¦ w ithheld , he vras obliged to break up his small establishment , and disp-. se of Ms little property . He commenced citing his furniture , as ho might ci ' . l it , bit by frit . He tfcen went to tha workhouse , and , after having been there three montlis , cams out agv . u v . itfi ils wife aad family , -who were
" Cist abandoned on the world ' s wide stage , Asd doomed iu scanty poverty to roam . " Ho * -rsver , a kind former took compassion upon him , end also-wed him to go into bis bein . Ho and . his uraily remained in the stack ^ arth ( as it was called in Yorkshire ) for tvro nights , aud thsir only covering was aa old cover ' et . He went again iuto tha workhouse , and rcnnine-d there for two more mouths , aud after being there leaves orxe more , -in-J . takss an old cottage , without doors or windows , and a-iy furniture , nud ings a little Btrv * to make beds for himself and f . unily to lie upon . They lie down on these more like dors or beasts of any kind , tban huiuuu beings . His constitution is now broken up . and he g < xs to a farmer to get -work . Us g ? tj sonjetiiiug to do , and the first or second night he applies f * .-r his Is . cd . for his day's work ( for h 5 was obtiijifd to £ c « t it daily to supply the wants of Ms family ) when tbo farmer tciis Lim he

KSZCIBUBV . Easter Monday . —Monday being * kind of holiday , in eonseqaance ; of Eaater , this town presented its usual display of club processions , tea parties , &c . Amongst ifae fonner , the society of Odd Fellows , decked oat in their symbolical dresses of leather aptons and white gloves , preceded by a band of musicians in soldiers ' jaokets took the most prominent part , and caused a sensation among the woman arid children , by raising a belief that a party of military had come to raise w-« raits for the Chinese war . ¦ . ¦ . Another display of » somewhat ditfercat nature was presented to the view of tho public in the pleasure grounas of the Ractor of the parish , where the children and teachers belonging to the National School were
Buffered to divert themselves in different games and pastimes , after partaking of tea . This annual exhibition , which was established by Mr . Dury , 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 sickly-looking children of the poor , rejoicing in their momentary respite from tkeir unnatural lubcur 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 meaas to do bo . Another party consistad of the teachera of these poor factory slaves , principally poor men , who were cn ^ a / jed in playing at bail and other similar amusements . Auoshor 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 BprunR from tha racks of the labouring classj repreaontcd the aristocracy of tho town , and condescended to gratify the tl-hcr inferior mortals by indulging themselves in a game at ball on the samo ground . This kind of diversion was contiaued . till evening ; , aud appeared to afford great pleasure to & ]\ parties concerned . —The Chartists opened the Working Man ' s Hail , about six p ' clock in the areniBg , for the recreation of their aiembors and ywinffpersoDBj ia dancing , singing , and reciting . They were admitted by paying a penny each , for tho support of the Hall , and were supplied with all the usual ko-tu ' . al beverages of a coffoe-houso at a reasonable rate . The evening wa 3 enjoyed in a manner becoming rational and intelligent being . " , till about eleven o'clock .
