THE YOTOJG MAJPS CATECHISM . "We liave had by U 3 for some time a pamphlet , entitled ** Tue First Step in the Ladder to Political Knowledge ; or , The Yoxtsg Mas * s Catechish , " by Robert Burrell , of Greenock , to which we should have directed earlier attention , had it not beenfor the Conference claim upon onr eolnmns . However , it is a work written in s > nmple and convincing a style , that it i 3 sure to overcome all obstacles , —even a late notice . The author , from being a working man , * nu a tbonghtfnl man , brings experience and rt £ eciion in-aid of iu 3 sntject , and ias handled it in a style at ones ample and captivating . The principal object of the author is to prove that the many
hardships endured by the working classes , though not of their own creation , may be destroyed by a proper combination of their own powers . He dwells at considerable length npon the necessity of establishing a 2 Jarion % l Bank , the deposits in which he desires to see applied to the purchase of land , machinery , minerals , & <^ , and snch raw materials as would constitute -& field for the expenditure of free labour . As we may hereafter , when lime permiis , refer more at large to ibis little work , we shall content ourselves for the present with the following extract , -showing how the ambor opens his subject , and proceeds to impress it npon the minds of young Xosn : —
Qr WhatismsR ? A , Man is a sentient being , capable of thought , reason , and ' actien . Q What is sentient ? A , Perception , having power to discover , to know , lo » bserve . Q , What is thought ? A- Imagination , rtfiectiDD , idea . Q . What is reason ? A . That power by which man deduces consequences from premises , motives , principles , or the tffects from bums . Q . Are She mental and physical powers of all men equal ? A . JTo ; some men are endowed with powers better adapted tor the performance of certain duties than others , and are very deficient in powers necessary for the performance of other dnties .
Q ~ Do the circumstances which surround men , or the position in wliich they are placed , in any degree tend to tteats such distinctions as at present exist in s&cibty ? A . Yes . but a proper edncaiion wonld tend to lessen these disticctions , as many of tbe lower ranks of society have as great natural qualificztions as any moving in tbe higher . Q . Does the possession of superior mental or physical powers confer superior rights ? A . Xa Q . What reason can be assigned why superior powers do not confer superior rights ? A . Because all men come into existence in the same ms ' -rer , are composed of the same substances , possessed of the same orcaus , require the same materials to preserve life , and consequently ought to have the same lights . Q . What rishis appertain to man ?
A . The rights of man are manifold , but may be comprehended in the four following—viz ., his right to life , his rizht to self-government , his right to acquire ana to hold property , and his xighs to the free exercise of hiB mental &cd physical powers , so that the rights of others are not iutrmged thereby . Q . What ii it to have property ? A . Ii is to have in possession that which is valuable to roan , or MCtssary to preserve life . Q , How many kind * of property are there ? A . Three—pubV-Ci private , and joint ssock . Q , What is public property ? A- Teat which belongs to tne community collectively , and -which no section of the community has a superior chum to . Q , Can public property become private property ? A . AH property Jnay become private property with the exeeptiop of the land . Q . What is joint stock property ?
A- That which i nuBber of persons may put , or acquire , together , agreeably to contract entered into by the p-JtiBS ; the possessors are called a Joint-stock co * psny . Q . What is private property ? A- It i » tbe exclnsive j > oEseMion cf snzh materials as are-requisite ior ttie -preservaiaoB ol life—V 3-, food , clothing , bouses , furniture , luxuries , and the means of producing or acquiring them . Q . Ton say land cannot become private property ? A . The land is public property , and cannot become the exclusive jiroperty of any distinct party or class . < i What is tbe reason why the land cannot be-* rcre the exclusive property of any distinct party or tba )
-a- jBecanse it is the foundation cf all labour , and fi » aw material from which all wealth is produced ; and all men having the same right to life , and the same right to preserve it , it must therefore be evident , that the exclusive possession of it by any distinct party or class Wonld prevent othen from exercising fte same » gh& and privileges as those who would be in tbe PwesUmofit . . Q If a man enrich a piece of land by his own labour , tftbei by briDjting It into a totter state of cultivation , w * j building honaes upon it , has be a right to the exeluate privilege of producing , and enjoying the whole proGuee * f tt » t piece of land during his lifetime , pro-¦ ndfcd he eonanncB to labour it ?
A . Undoubtedly ; yet as society could not exist , or » us T- ^ ht be maintained , without laws fox regulating ttie iffifri cf the community , nor these laws be put « & > a .. t £ ntio 8 without an executive , or persons ap-Pcftcted for the purpoae , and as then will always be peaces W ] 30 omuot produce tbe necessaries of life , it is secttsuy and just that he contribute an equal proporoon , alvng -with the other member * of the communi ^ r , wwsia » fned-for tie aippon of those persons—no ° * hci i « rty having any just elaim to any other pait ta iL

Q If one man has this exclusive right to tbe prodnce of a certain piece of laud , how can others enjoy the same privilege ? A . As be has only the right to as much as he is able to labour , and seeing that all are not inclined to be cultivators of the land , the time will never arrive when those inclined to do bo will want a field for their exertion . Q- What is meant by the free exercise of mental powers ? A . The free exercise ef thought . Q What is meant by the free exercise of physical powers ? A . Tbe free exercise cf action with the hands , feet , or toneue , directed by the mind .
Q . Do not those individuals who possess the land of Great Britain and Ireland , hold it In virtue of a superior ryrht to do so ? A . No . Q , How then did they acquire it ? A . The great portion of those hold it on account of their predecessors having driven the original inhabitants from it by brute force , at the time of the N orman Conquest and at the Reformation ; while others hold it in virtue of a grant from tbt Sovereign j and some by purchase . Q Do not those individuals who procured it by conquest bold it justly ? A No ; superior power cannot confer seperior rights . Q Do not those who obtained it in virtue of a grant from the Sovereign hold it justly ?
A . No ; Soveieigns have no exclusive rights but what are conferred upon them by the people , and no people can confer rights which they themselves do not possess Q Do those who acquired the land by purchase not bold it justly ? A . No ; they are upon a level with purchasers of stolen goods , who cannot hold what they hava purchased from the thief ; those "who sell the land , have no more right to it than the purchasers previous to purchasing .

CABTiISIi'E . —ExTBjS . OBDJN . aBY JKQTJIST iHD INvestiqatioh . —On Monday and Thursday week , an inquest was held at the house of Elizabeth Barnes , Lotvtber Arms , Beaumont , near Carlisle , before William Carrick , Esq ., solicitor , of Brampton , connty ooroaer , upon tbe body of James Clarke , who died the Friday previously . Considerable excitement prevailrd in the township on the occasion , as the deceased had been ill for a long period , during which his case had been treated by various medical mep , and ihe feelings of the neighbourhood were strongly expressed » 3 to the absurdity of holding acoromr ' s inquest on tbe occasion . It was necessary that the grave of tbe deceased should be opened , in order that the body might be viewed by the coroner and
the jury . Tfee friends and relatives of the deceased eYinced the utmost reluctance to this procedure , and were with difficulty reconciled to the necessity . Even then , no one could be found for some time willing to open the grave ; bnt it was at last done , greatly to the indignation of at least tie female part of the inhabitants . The lid of the cofiia was > . hen raised , and tbe jury sworn by the grave . There was no post mortem examination . It appeared from the evidence wbjcb was very lengthy , that the deceased James Clarke ,, had b--en , about six months ago , an inmate of the Cumberland Infirmary ; where he bad been treated by Dr . Barnes , physician to the establishment for the disease called tnorbus coxsrius , or disease of the hip joint . The treatment ,
according to Dr . Barne / s evidence , was as follows : The first prescription applied is a blister . At the same time , there is a mixture of spirits of turpentine , 8 oz . 1 did not see him again until the 2 nd of November . That was all that took place at the first interview . He waB then an out patient . When he came on tbe 2 nd of November the prescription stands thn 3 . *• Let him be cupped on the left thigh to lOoz ., repeat the mixture . " It is not mentioned when I ordered the blister to be applied on the first occasion . The next time he came was on the lS ^ b of November . I saw him then , and the mixture was again repeated . On the 23 rd a blister is directed to be applied to the painful part of the thigh . I am reading these directions
from the book . On tbe 7 vh of September be was ordered to be bled 12 oz . from the arm ; 10 grains of Dover ' s powder to be taken at night—that is a sweating powder—and next morning a dose of elec-Inary and some salts . Me was labouring under ehrorac rheumatism wben I first Baw him . I am now going to speak of him as an in-patient . I received him on the 14 th of December , 1842 . He was zffiicted in much the same way as he was at first ; but he was not in so much paie as when 1 first saw him . Tte next entry was in the Physician ' B Register . The lic&et was kept at the head of the bed , on which I eBtered my prescriptions , but it cannot be found . It is not usual to keep them . I prodnce the Physician ' s Register kept by Mr , Burch , copied
from my ticket . It is an abstract of my ticket , and not a copy . " 1842 , No . 8 , James Clarke , aged 50 , married ; residence , Beaumont j occupation , labourer ; date of admission ; discharged Dec . 14 . 1842 ; disease , rhenmaiism , &c . ; relieved .. The treatment twice cupping ; subscriber ' s name , Mr . TLurman . " That is ail the entry I can find on the books . I can give no evideBce touching tbe death of James Clarke , as he left the Infirmary ali ^ e , and I hate not feen him for above half a jear . When he left the Infirmary , my impression was that he might live some years . He had no complaint on him then likely to prove mortal . I remember the circumstances of bis leaving ; he wa- then in less pain than when he entered the house , and less lame , though he wa 3
lame . His general health was improved . 1 considered his lameness incurable , and did not therefore wish to keep him in the house . I saw him frequently while an in-patient , and he was nnder my charge . Jane ClaTke , examined—I am the widow of the deceased . I remember him going to the Infirmary , as an out-patient , about harvest-time last year , either in September or October . At that time he ihought he had rheumatism . He was affected at the time in his knee and thigh , and all on his left ride . He was lame from it , and went on two sticks . This was while he nsed to go in a cart to the Infirmary , He was afterwards in the Infirmary . When be came out he did not find himself any better . He said he told Dr . Barnes he would go borne , as
he did not feel any b . Her , and he gave him leave , and said he might do as he liked . His leg and thigh were no better . The officers of the Infirmary did not attend him afterwardB ; after he left tbe Infirmary , several medical mea attended him . They were Mr . Hodgson , Dr . Jackson , and Mr . Elliott . They cameseveral times . Tbey came backwards and forwards np to the time of his death . He was confined to his bed for seventeen weeks , ever since he wa 9 lifted on a table . Doctors Jackson and Elliot lanced his thigh on their first visit , a Thnrsday night , I think , and he went to bed on the Saturday night , and never got out of it again , except when he was lifted . He took physic on Friday . There was matter and blood
gathered about the joint when these Doctors first saw him . T / iey gave him no medicine . They ordered none that 1 recollect . They put an issue < seaton ) in , and directed mj husband to lay in bed , and keep quiet . A piece of wood , or splint , was put on his ifligh , but he « ould not bear it , and tbey took it off again . His diet was ordered to be Hjiht pudding , aud so forth , bat nothing beating . Several medical gentlemen were then examined , as to the nature of the disease , and the mode of treatment to be followed in men cases . Tbey all agreed that the deceased had been treated in a very improper manner © v Dr . Barnes ; and quoted several medical
au'horities to bear cut their testimony . It may he proper to state , that the parlies anxious to make out a case of mal-treatment against Dr . Barnes , consist of medical men , who have felt much dissatisfied ever since the appointment of Dr . Barnes , as physician , and Mr . Page as snrgeon to the Infirmary ; and we frar ibeir present conduct has originated in a factions spirit towards those gentlemen , and not from honest and humane motives . The Coroner , then , summed np the evidence , and the Jury returned the following verdict : — " That the deceased , James Clarke , came to his death by the visitation of God , from natural causes . "

The Winter of Life . —Old age is often spoken of under this simile , and with considerable propriety . For what the winter is in the revolution of the seasons , old a « e is in the term of human existence . We shed , in this season , those green leaves which surrounded us in the preceding years of our life—and , in many instances , the flowers of comfort and enjoyment wither and droop . But , inasmuch as we may deprivo the winter of many of its inclemencies by properly preparing to meet it , so we may contribute many pleasures of old age , and retain many who would otherwise decay , by a proper and timely attention—as'in the case of Old Parr—to the health of the bodily faculties .
Italian Organ Boys . —Suspicious Death . —On Friday last , a poor Isalian boy , in the employ of Guisepppo Bruxadelli , of No . 3 , Saffron-court , Saffron-hill , to go about begging with an or «; an , left home , after complaining of a pain in tha side . On the same afternoon , about four o'clock he was found by a gentleman sining on his organ , evidently in a dying state , in a street at Islington , when he was taRen to Islington workhouse , and there expired . The master , on receiving information of the boy ' B death , made preparations to bury him in two days afterwards , and various reports having been circulated , one was that the boy had been starved and treated with cruelty * and another that be had been ill-treated by « otne low fellows at a public-house ,
who had before blackened his face , forced drink upon him , and turned him into the street , Mr . Lucioni , an Italian boot and shoemaker , of FUy-street , Clerkenwell , interested himself and made inquiries , the result of whioh was not at all satisfactory , and he applied to Mr . Wakley , the Coroner , for the purpose of causing an inquest to be held upon the body prior to the interment taking place . It appears from Lucioni ' s statement , that the most inhuman traffic is carried on in the metropolis by a set of Italian follows who bring boys from Italy for the purpose of begging and going about with organs , and other instruments , & !\ , and who treat them in a most cruel manner . They ( the masters ) compel their boys to bring them home 33 per day , and in one instance an Italian
residing ; on feaffron-hill has no less than twenty-seven boys who are sent out with organs , imitation pianos , & . C ., and are to be seen in every part of the town diily . This fellow , through the vagrancy of the boys , receives from them £ 24 6 t per week . He pays 3 = iper week for a room in the neighbourhood of Saffronhill , where they are huddled together like a pack of swine , andit costs him 53 or S 3 per week for their support , chit fly consisting of soup madi of any offal , so that after all expenses he clears £ 22 Is per week ; and unless the boys bring home the required 3 d per day they are most severely chastised . Another Italian , a relation to the above , was heard to declare last week , that he had made his fortune in consequence of this sort of traffic , and that within three
months he . had realised £ 120 out of the sixteen Italian boys , whom he had brought from Parma aud Genoa ; and he left fcngland the other day with his coffers well lined , leaving the whole of his unfortunate victims behind to starve , far distant from their own country . Shocking instances of cruelty could be enumerated that aro daily practised by the ruffians , who inveigle the boy * from their native land by false promises thai they will be brought up to a trade , and , after a period of time , mentioned to tbeir parents , they will be sent back again ; but the moment they arrive on the English shore the unfortunate boys aro sent to play upon organs , &c . The Magistrates of the metropolis have usad every effort
to get at the masters , but hitherto they have failed . The boys , in consequence of the extreme cruelty they receive , and the threats held out to them , are afraid to expose them , and in no instance have they ever given the names of their masters when brought before the bench .:. We understand that the subject has excited the attention of some humane gentlemen , whe have formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of devising some plan for the protection of Buoh boys , and to do away with the disgraceful nuisance ; and should an investigation be made into the cause of the death of the above boy , there is no doubt it will be searching , as the circumstance has caused a deep interest to ba manifested .
Providential Escape . —The inhabitants of Northstreet , Lambeth , and the immediate neighbourhood , were much alarmed on Sunday evening about halfpast six o'clock by % loud noise , which was ultimately found to proceed from a small house , the residence of a poor nan , situate No . 4 , James Place , Northstreet , the ceiling of which , with part of tho roof , had fallen into the bed-room . In bed was tho youngest child , which was miraculously saved . Had it been two hours later , other branches of tho family would have been in bod , aud nothing could have saved them from instant death . As it is , the damage of the house , and the entire destruction of the poor man ' s stock-in-trade , is the extent of the loss , his family , eight ia number , having been kindly assisted by his equally poor neighbours .

London Smithfield j Cattle Markbi , Monday . Sept 4—There was a great change in the general state of trade to-day , for ; which it is difficult to assign a feasible reason . Except for Beef tbe butchers purchased very sparingly of all kinds of meat , the which even a reduction of , in some cases , 4 d per stone failed to counteract . As the former description met with a ready sale , the heat of the weather there is every reason to suppose had nothing to do with this depression , neither can the supply be brought forward as the chief cause . ! When the fact of London being clear of meat is borne in mind , this reaction is the more singular . There were several lota of Foreign Beasts at market on Friday from Holland on sale by Mr . Collins , which were , taken as a whole ,
superior to former arrivals with one or two exceptions , and further arrivals aro expected on Friday next to the 6 ame consignment . The supply of Homebred Beasts this morning , amounting to about 3 , 000 head , waa equal in quality to thosi of last Monday , or those of tae preceding . Monday ' s market , and all sold by an early hour at rates fully as high as those of this day se ' nnight . Small Soots and other prime Beasts may be quoted as selling at 4 a to is 2 d per stone , middling quality i 3 s lOd , and exceileat serviceablo Beef a ; 3 d 8 d . As usual the return of Sheep last night was some thousands above the actual supply of ihis morning , but the latter number , although about similar on an average to the supplies for the last month or six weeks , may , the state of trade
considered , be reckoned as constituting a very large supply . Taking the general run , the quality was equal to last week . From the opening of the market until the close the Mutton trade wa 3 dull—exceedingly so—and many head ( were turned out unsold at three o ' clock . Downs of the best quality made but 4 s per stone on an average , although some few very oheice nine-stone Sheep were saleable at 4 s 2 d . Middling quality may be quoted from 3 ? 8 d to 33 10 J , inferior 3 s 64 , and coarse kinds from 3 d . The Lamb trade was equally as dull , but the improvement in price of Friday last was nevertheless maintained today , the n ' no choice Downs making 5 s per stone , and inferior quality from 4-i . jVeal and Pork were both a heavy sale , likewise at about 2 d per stone decline .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Sept . 4 . — The supplies during last week were tolerably good of English Wheat and Flour , the former beiug 5 , 219 qrs , and the latter 4 . 0-16 isacka . Of Irish Oats the supply was nearlj 13 , 000 c ^ rs . Of Foreign Grain we have to notice a large arrival—Wheat amounting to 60 , 132 qfs ; Barley , 7 , 326 (; and Oats 2 , 370 . To this morning ' s market tbe supply of New Ea ^ lish Wheat was tolerably large from Essex and Kent , but short from other parts , nor have we much new grain of any other description . Tho iduty on Foreign Wneat
having receded last Thursday to 14 * per qr , someconsiderable quantity since then has paid duty , and been entered for home consumption- The Wheat trade has been dull this morning , at a decline of 2 s to 3 s from this day week . Barley is without alteration . Irish Oats Is to 2 j dearer ! for light inferior samples . Beans , Pea 3 , and other { Grain unaltered . Flour nominally the same . New winter Tares are in good demand . Tho supply of j New White and Brown Mustard Seed has been most abundant , and prices have declined Is per bushel . Carraway Seed is scarce , and 2 s per cwt . higher .
Hops . —The exceedingly ; hot weather that has been for several days past has had the effect of advancing the duty to £ 150 , 000 , consequently the market is heavy , with a reduction of 4 s to 6 s from last week ' s prices . A single pocket of new is ail that is as yet arrived , and which fetched £ 8 . Colonial . ~ Sugar — The market for British Plantation had been vory firm , a good business having been done at fully previous prices , and in some instances a shade dearer . ; About 800 hhds have been sold . Tne pubic sales have consisted of 2 , 265 bass of Bengal , 65 chests , 83 brls . Pernambuco , and 218 boxes Havannah . The Bengal sold briskly , and chiefly at higher prices , but being all in small lots , and mostly damped and washed , it affords very little criterion of the market generally . All the Pernambuco was taken in above the value , viz ., at 22 s 6 d to 24 s for very low soft to mid white ; the Havannah sold at 17 s to 20 a for low &oft to flue yellow , being
the extreme value . Although there appears to be bo general demand for foreign , yet , notwithstanding , raher a large business continues to bo done weekly , chiefly in cargoes afloat for export , and for which former prices are obtained . ] Three cargoes have been sold , one from the Havannah , with about 900 boxes brown at 19 j 3 d , deliverable at Antwerp ; one of Bahia , with about 403 chests brown at 17 s , deliverable at a near port on the [ Continent , and the other from Porto Rico with 650 hhds , rather above 18 s , deliverable over the ship's side in London , for reshipment to the Continent ; and on the spot about 1 , 200 hhds Cuba Muscovado and Porto Rico at 17 s 6 d , likewise supposed to be for exportation . The quantity of British Plantation landed la ^ t week at the Eist and West India Docks was 1 , 038 hhda 110 fiercps , 6 * 2 6 rls . The quantity consumed this year ia 53 . 497 hhds , 6 , 406 tierces , against 47 , 190 hhds , 5 , 454 tierres at this time last year . The stock is 21 , 269 hhds , 3 09 S tierces , being greater than last year .
Coffee , —38 casks Jamaica , 581 bags Ceylon , and 500 Mocha , have been offered by auction . The Jamaica and Ceylon found buyers , the f ormer chiefly at 97 s to 97 s 6 d for mid quality , and the latter at 45 s to 57 s 6 d for low good ord mixed to fine ord coloury which are about previous { prices . Nearly all the Mooha was taken at 65 s 6 d jto T&i 6 d for mid to good clean garbled , and a few lots inferior at 60 s to 62 s , being chi fly held above the ( value , but for the small portion which sold , the advance already noticed was fslly established . The quantity of British Plantation landed this year is 3 , 670 hhds , 1 , 805 brls . and baas , being much the same as last year . The home consumption , also , has beeni steady , viz . 3 , 893 hhds , 2 , 050 brls . and bags , The stock is 4 , 204 hhds , 2 , 020 brls . and bags . ] Rum . —The quantity ' anded this year has been 13 9-6 puns 4 , 910 hhde , and the consumption 6 , 988 puns 2 , 288 hhds , being an increase .

Manchester Cobn m ! vkket » Saturday , Sept . 2 . -A steady demand from in . ** WKk-. has enabled factors to < ff ct sales of all good « r * superfine parcels of fresh English or Irish FJ&ar ou" arrival ; and . as the stocks in consumers' hands arc ve » 7 considerably reduced , an improvement in value has bflon realized . For inferior qualities of Flour thera was no inquiry ; and prices were barely supported . Oatmeaf was likewise in but limned request . With the exception of Oatmeal and Flour from Ireland , of which th « supplies , considering the period of the year , are large , the imports of all articles thence and coastwise are but to a moderate exteut . The arrivals of Flour from the interior continue small , aud of suitable descriptions barely equal to tha demand . Tha
duty on Wheat having declined to 14 * . per quarter , and no present prospect of any further reduction appearing , it is probable the whole of the stocks of that article and of Flour now in bond , as well as the current arrivals , will be entered for home consumption . At our market this morning there was but little passing iu Wheat , aud we repeat , nominally , the quotation * of this day Pe ' nnight . Prime qualities of sack Flour were tree sale , and 44 * . per 280 lbs . was obtained for choioe whites ; inferior descriptions were in rather better request , but no advance in prices can be noted . A few parcels of new Oatmeal were disposed of at 25 i . per load , but in the value of old there is no change . Oats Were neglected , and to effect sales lower rates must have been submitted to .
Liverpool Corn Markrt , Monday , Sept . 4 . — With the exception of 6636 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland , we have had light arrivals of Grain , &o ., since this day se ' nnight . The duty on Wheat is now 143 . per quarter , and on Flour 8 s . 5 d . per barrel . At Tuesday ' s market there was a more active demand for Wheat than had been experienced for some weeks before , and the depression noted in prices on tho previous Friday was fully recovered . Some purchases were made on speculation . The weather has since been exceedingly fine , with the usnal effect of
deterring buyers ; holders , however , have shown no willingness to concede much , if any , in price . Fiour has met a moderate demand , without change in value . The Oat trade has continued to rule very dull . Oatmeal , too , has goae off slowly , aud both , articles have been easier purchased . A little Irish new white Wheat , of good quality , has sold at 89 . per 70 lbs ., a few Oats at 2 s . 6 d . to 2 s . 8 d . per 45 lb » . and a lot or two of hew Meal at 23 s . to 24 s . per load . Barley , Beans and Pease , all the turn cheaper , and little done in them .
