      The sobject of ibis brief memoir \ ras "bom in St . Peter ' s Square , Leeds , on tie 20 th of December , 1789 . He was the son ( the youngest of eight children ) of Robert Oastler , -whose father lived on the paternal estate at Moorhouse , Kirkby Wiske , in the If orth Hiding of Yorkshire . His forefathers and die forefathers of the present Eam . of Hakewood were substantial yeomen , occupying neighbouring farms , foBo"wing the same pursuits , and connected together * bj boaness and friendship for many generations .

      Robert Oaktier , when a young man , was led on ¦ serious reflection , to embrace the doctrine of selfdenying and devoted piety , as preached by ^ .. apostolic"Wesley . Every species of entreaty and persuasion being found ineffectual in affecdng any change in bis religious resolutions , be was banished ¦ fesm Ms- father ' s house . But another borne was soon prodded for him . His uncle Johx Oastler , of Thiisk , adopted him as bis own child ; and under ias parental care be continued many years at Thirsk ,- where be becaine personally acquainted ^» iQi Mr . Weslet . This acquaintance ripened into

      a more than common friendship , - Mr . Robert Oastler ' s bouse being Wesley ' s home , whenever be ¦ slated Thirsk and its neighbourhood , in the course <« f Ms itineracy as the great missionary of England . The cause of Methodism in Thirsk and the adjacent eocntry , owes much to the piety , benevolenee , and -aid of Mr . Robert Oast . £ er . It may be mentioned that , on the last visit he ever paid to . that part of England , and very shortly before bis death , Mr . Wesley took little Richard up in his arms and tfJessed Mm—ra ceremony often performed by that -senerable man upon the children of his pious followers .

      WitbRoBEBT Oastleb , -we believe , first originated tie practice of interring the dead in Methodist £ Eonnd , no burial places being at that period attached to their chapels or preaching houses . On ^ tie melancholy death of his son Robert , who was iSled at Makshau / s 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 &e Methodist preachers , however , would perform ¦ flie usual service , all of them refusing to sanction

      such an innovation upon their established forms . 3 tfr . Oastleb persisted , 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 tae church in the Methodist Society , In mat grave ~ Ee iheOASTLEBs of three generations , Robert and Sabab , Mr . Oastler ' s father and mother ; Robert and Sabah , bis sister and brother ; and Robert and Sakah , his own infant son and daughter .

      At the tone T > f Kjllham ' s division , Mr . Robert © ASTiER , considering the conduct of the conference arbitrary and tyrannical , left the old body , and supported the Secession . He was one of the compara-. tiv-ely few men of substance wljo had tie courage to avow their principles , and to maintain the religious liberty of the people as asserted by Mr . Ktllham fie continued one of the" principal members of the Methodist 2 s ew Connection till within a few years

      of bis death ; but at last yielded to the solicitations cff several ofhisoldfriends , andreturned to tie original society , in the bosom of which he died , respected at his death , as he had been beloved in bis lifetime , by aH who bad the opportunity of knowing and appreciating the sterling excellencies of his tculy manly character . He was chiefly distinguished by a benevolence a 3 unwearied as it was intensive , and by those intellectual qualities that would , have made tarn celebrated , had he been favoured with the

      ad-^ satage a corresponding education in early Efe . - In politics he was at first a Tory , bnt afterwards l > ecame 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 bim possessed of good natural abilities , he took bim by the hand , and -patronized iimto the utmost of bis power . It was by the assistance of Mr . Oastler , and one or two other Mends , tiiat Mr . Baeses -was enabled to purchase the copyist of the Leeds Mercury , the source of Mr . Baixes' wealth , and the great engine of Whig de-3 aa » n in the West Riding of . Yorkshire . Mr

      Robert Oastleb . died the strenuous advocate of As principles of liberty , as defined and understood fcy file leading patriots of bis day . He was a cloth merchant by trade , but gave up business irhen' the » ewly invented gig-mills came into use , looking mpon . such an application of machinery as a-means « f oppression on the part of the ricb ^ and of corresponding degradation and misery to the poor . He TEas the father of the agitation on behalf of the Hissed and neglected climbing boys , in which he s ^ ent much time as well as money . He was engaged iamany other charitable and philanthropic undertakings during the course of Ms very active and truly "benevolent life . But let this short sketch suffice .

      Of Mr . Oastler ' s mother we shall say but little , as it would be in vain to attempt a description of a character Hkeners , in the space assigned to this iaief memoir . She was a Christian , but never emerged out of the retired and private" sphere , widdn .-which she thought the unobtrusive qualities of . lie female character should naturally be confined . Sie was amiable towards all she knew—affectionate towards those she loved—the Mother and the'Wife

      at borne—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 poor—. imt noiseless and unostentatious in all she did _ to alleviate tbeir distress . She spoke evil of no one—jior did any ever speak evil of her . - * "Her cmfive strength of character enabled her to "hear rt »» + ti » To nt T ? fc » x »? rt » <> cfnnisi . ; T . n ,. „_ to bear the trials of life with astonishing

      comjxenre . She -was patient in suffering ; and re' ^ ned under every bereavement , lived without sjgaoach , without an enemy ; and was in death Ijonoured , lamented , and revered by all who knew her . She was tie daughter of Mr . Joseph Scurr , of Leeds , of an ancient and honourable femily . Her _ gcandmother was . so universall y beloved for her acts « f charity , that she was called the Dorcas of Leeds . SKe is buried in &e Korm Porch of the Parish Charch , Leeds . .

      , fijoHABB Oastleb , whoi eight years old , was sent to FUneck , - tire celebrated Moravian settlement , to leceire the benefits of the admirable system of education , for' which that institution has so long-been famous . He remained bere eight years ; and we % ace often beard bim speak in theinost glowing * ad feeling manner of Ms recollections o ? that period , and more particularly of the

      at all times and under all circumstances , from fixed and unalterable principles of integrity and virtue . Orerthe tomb of Steixhauer , Mr . Oastler is represented as leaning in the accompanying * portrait . A view of Fnlneck 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 , borne , - school , his brethren , and bis God—these and such like , were the first , and have ever since been the deepest , and the holiest impressions on bis mind , and gb far to furnish us with a key to the composition of bis 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 bis boyhood be bad 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 bim deeply , and gave bini an aversion to reading 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 bad been withdrawn . We consider this

      well-meaning but mistaken interference on the part of Mr . Oastler ' 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 WATEB , WORKS . On Monday last , a meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was convened according to advertisement j 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 < fe Sox ; aud 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 observat ions , fears 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 .

      Dr . Williamson being Chairman of the Board of Directors , -was called upon to preside on that occasion . He stated that there baa existed some doubt as to the legality of the meeting , inasmuch as it bad not been convened by the Board of Directors , or b y 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 , be 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 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 mom 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 tie ~\\ orks , 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 ^¦ ould 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 bad the power of appointing one half of tbe directors , and tbat as a corporate body they bad 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 tbe servants of the company , he still hoped tb ' e 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 tbe most important points . The present directors represented so fully tbe 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 bad been much banneny , and there were very few occasions on which they had been materially opposed to each

      other . _ At length . ^ however , a material question bad 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 tbat question of dispute , he did hope tbat tbe discussion would be conducted in a spirit of fairness and candour , and that they would all recollect bow serions , indeed , would be the responsibility which that 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 "hus duty as chairman on that occasion , be concluded by calling upon JLr . Barr to read the report of the Board of Director ? .

      Mr . Barr , clerk to the company , then read the report , which after adverting to tbe notice calling the meeting stated that there were two principal questions on which the Board of Directors were at issue . First , wbetheT ilr . Fowler bad heen properly remunerated for bis services ; and secondly , wbetberbis services were likely to be useful to the company . Mr . Fowler bad already received £ 300 for services render ed , and the board had made a further offer of £ 500 , which they thought would more than repay any claim wbicbbe ' migbt have upon tbe board . This offer bad been refused by Mr . Fowler , who was desirous of being appointed assistant engineer with Mr . Leather . This was objected to by . tlie Directors on two grounds—because bis services were not likely

      to be useful , —and because to employ him would be an additional and unnecessary charge to the company . ( Hear , bear . ) 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 him in a situation for which they believed neither his talents nor his experience qualified bim . John Atkixson , Esq ., solicitor , then appeared on behalf of the directors ; be said be objected to the meeting as being illegal : but not to press that objection it was manifest from tbe act of Parliament that they bad no power to elect any servant or officer other than tbe Clerk and tbe 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 bis argument ; aad therefore bemaintained it to bft impossible for that meeting to remove ^ tbe present , or appoint another engineer . This disposed of the first two propositions in tbe requisition . The third was to supply any vacancy that might occur in the . Board of Directors . This , howevpr , tbe shareholders could not do , because that power also was vested in the Board of Directors themselves , by whom , tbe Act of Parliament directed , any vacancies were to be filled up that might occur . Mr . Barr full y concurred in the statement of tbe law , as given by Mr . Atkinson . ^

      Mr . ± 5 lackburt ; also added bis tesbomony to the accuracy of Mft ^ Atkinson ' s statements . Many other remarksweremade by other gentlemen , which , however , did not affect the question at issue ; and as tie 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 of 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 .

      lir . Williamson then suggested , that Before tbe meeting dissolved , it perhaps would only be doing justice to Mr . Leather , to request him to furnish tbe meeting with any statement , with which he thought they might be interested rgarding tbe progress of the works . . Mr . Leather then appeared and entered into a variety of statements , which were principally intended to furnish a contrast between nis own and Mr . Fowler ' s estimate of the work . He went . through a Tarifi ^ y of detals , which , a * 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 bis opinion that the pipes ( about which there bad been some debate ) must either be two feet in diameter if the water was to be supplied from Oidman ' s reservoir , or a second reservoir would be required a&ffbodhoute Moor . He also adverted to a superior arrangement in laving the pipes througheut the town , by which there would always be a constant supply of waterin case of any fire . _ His statements being ended , a vote of thanks was given to Dr . Williamson , for bis services , as Chairman , after which the meeting separated .

      IRISH MUNICIPAL 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 they should omit the clauses erecting new corporations in substitution 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 the speech from the Throne , in conjunction with Municipal Corporations and Poor Relief . :

      Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Tithe question was in a peculiar ^ position . For four years it had been before Parliament , without a conclusion , the House of Lords haying always rejected the bills . He thought it unwise , 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 proDose anew basis , of which Members would come to the consideration unpledged . The iiiftasure ought to be a 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 affirming one simple p rinciple , but to submit several resolutions . If the parties interested had really a wish for a settlemeut of the question , those resolutions might lead to that settlement : ifsuch a wish were not reallyfplt , 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 said he felt , as the Duke of WELLINGTON did , how desirable would be a settlement of the questions 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 ; but tecurityfor til * church was an uidijipeiaible preliminary . He hoped the conunittee on' the Irish Municipal Bill was to be deferred till the sense of the House had been taken on these tithe resolutions ; if iiot , he should move such a postponement , instead of the former instruction . Ujjon the resolutions themselves he . would now offer no opinion ; and on the Municipal Bill he would , give no pledge beyond a wish for a settlement , if settlement were possible ¦

      The proclamation against vice and immorality haying been read , the \ ^ earn ^ d-. ' J . u , d « e- proceeded to deliver his charge , to the following ellect : — . He felt tl \ e seriousness aud importance of the business in which he was about to be engaged ^ for he wa 4 sorry to any tUei calendar presentpd a fearful aspect of crime . H ^ re wag no less than nineteen cases of death by violence . Six of them were for murder , and there were one or two others though denominated manslaughter , werei , in reality j cases of rnurder . It was important that it should be known , that those persons committed for mansl « augtertoght afterwards be iudicteidfpr murder . iHis duty in these cases was exceedingly painful , ¦ .. 'but inasmuch as it was his duty he must : perform it .

      Some of those cases were the result of that brutal mode of lighting so often reported to in Lancashire , and it would be his duty to punish with the greatest severity , any parties who might be proVed to have been the instrument of death in this manner . His Lordshipprpcee'ded to define the diflerencebetween murder and manslaughter . It was necessary to con--stitute manslaughter , that there should be some actual provocation .. Wordsi alone were not sufficient , for there was a case of a mau named Davies who had knocked down his wife and kicked her , in consequence of which she died . That he considered a case of murder .. His Lordship proceeded to commenton a variety of similar cases according to their number in the calendar , on each of ; which he gave

      some opinion . He smd there was another case , which was not in the calendar , the party , who was a surgeon , being put oh bail . Itwas th ' e case of a surgeon who had attended a female in childrbearing . He had attended her before , and it was her iiinth child . She had before had very easy times . He desired her husdand to go to to his house and bnng a powder which seeuied to be ppiniri ^ or something which had the effect of delaying : the labour . The medical men who had bestn examined said the treatment oueht to have been directly the contrary . It appeared that the surgeon had to go somewhere else at a distance , arid that he leftward that another medical man was to be called in if needful . 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 3 he had to be delivered bV instrnments . She wa ^ 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 * , if not , it would be iv fearful thing to put a medical man on his trial in consequence of a . ! death , when the nature of his avocations « b frequently called him to attend c&ses of extreme danger . The surgepn here was attendin g a person at a distance , and the case was involved in some doubt . He ^ ' nfext ^ -rtferred .:- to ' tKe ' c'iise of John Ryan , which he considered one of' murder . There was also a case of a woniaii who had

      smothered d child between two * mattrnsses , which was either murder or nothing . The case of . CharleB v \ orthiiigton was' certainly one of manslaughter , though he was charged with murder . There were also several plain cases of murder ^ Such as the prisoner , who was chargecj with the murder of J onathan Fieiden , keeper of the' workhouse at Trestwich ; the case of William Hill , ^ br the threefold crime of rape , robbery , and murder , on the person of Betsy Minslmll , near Warrington ; and other cases of a similar nature . There' were other cases very serious : that of Ivlary Sheridail , who was charged with the attompt to poison another young woman , by sending her a pudding strongly impre'gnated with arsenic . In that case the party Was certainly liable to transportation . ThftV « vrp ' rft nlsn

      several serious cases pt robbery : one for poaching ^ m which a gamekeeper was shot ; arid there were some for uttering base coin . There were four or five cases of bigamy . In some of them , both parties Sipeared to have been aware of the drcumstarices ; ne of the prisoners said , he . thought his wife was dead , but that was no excuse at all , because the act protected oiily by not having heard from the party tor 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 would 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 . : ¦ ¦
