THE . YOUNG MAN'S CATECHISM . "We have lad by O 3 for some time & pamphlet , entitled •* The First Step in the Ladder to Political knowledge ; or , The "Yotjsg Ma > s Catechism , " by -Robert Bnxreil , of Greenoek , to which we ghonld have directed earlier attention , had it not been for ihe Conference claim upon onr colnmns . However , it is a work written in so simple and convincing a style , that it 13 snre to overcome all obstacles , —even a late noiice . The author , from being a working man , and a thoughtful man , brings experience and reflection in aid of his snbject , and has handled it in a style at once simple and eaptivatin * . Tbe principal object of the author is to prove that the many
hardships endnred by the working classes , though not of their own creation , may be destroyed by a proper combination of ifcdr own powers . He dwells at considerable length upon ihe necessity of establishing a"National Back , the deposits in which he desires to Bee applied to the purchase of land , machinery , minerals , &c , and such raw materials as would constitute a field / or the expenditure of free labour . As we may hereafter , when time permits , refer more at large w ihia little work , we shall content ourselves for the present with the following extract , showing how the author opens his subject , and proceeds $ o impress it npon the mindB of young men ;—
Q . What is mas ? A . Man is a sentient being , capable of thought , reason , and tctisn . Q What is sentient ? A . Perception , having power to discover , to know , toebsetrve . Q What is thought ? A . Imagination , itflsciion , idea . Q , What is reason ? A . That power by which man deduces consequences from premises , motives , principles , or the tffecta from cassss . Q . Are the mental and physical powers of all men egnal ? A . No ; * ome men are endowed with powers better adapted for the performance of certain duties than others , said are very deficient in powers Dtcessary for the performance of other duties .
Q . Do the circumstances which ^ surround men , or the position in which they are placed , in any degree tend to create such distinctions as at present exist in a&ciety ? A . Yes . but a proper edncation wonld lead to lessen these distinctions , as many of the lower ranks of society have a * great natural qualifications as aoy moving is the higher . Q . Does tbe possession of superior mental or physical powers confer superior rights ? A . No . Q . What reason can be assigned why superior powers flo uot confer superior rights ? A . Because all men come into existence in tha same xoacser , are composed of the same substances , possessed of the same organs , require the same materials to preserve life , and consequently onght to have the same rights . Q . What rights appertain to man ?
A . The r ights of man are manifold , but may be comprehended in the four following—viz ., bisright to life , his right to self-government , his right to acquire and to hold property , and his right to Hie free cxereiee of his mental and physical powers , * o that the rights of others are not irfriBgedJthereby . Q . What ia it to cave property ? A . It is to have in possession that which Ib valuable to man , or necessary to preserve life . Q . How many lauds of property are there ? A . Three—publtc , private , and joint stock . Q . What is public property ? A- Tnat which belongs to tie comnmnity collectively , and which no section of tbe community has a euperior claim to . Q Cm priblic property become private property 1 A . AH property may become private property with the exception of the land . Q . What is joint stock property ?
A . That whieh a number ol pewsns may pat , or acquire , together , agreeably to contract entered into by She parties ; the possessors are called a joint-stock cosipany . Q . What is private property ? A . It ii the exclusive possession of such materials as are Teqoisite for the preservation of life—vl * , food , tlcUaug , houses , furniture , luxuries , and the meass . of yroSncTDi ? or acquiring them . Q . Ton say land cannot become private 'property ? A . The land is pnblie property , and cannot bes ° n > 8 the exclusive property of any distinct party or slas . Q What is the reason why the land cannot become the exclusive property of any distinct party or ( Has ?
o- Because it is the foundation of all labour , and « ew » material from which all wealth is produced ; "aa HI men having the same right to life , and tbe * "&e right to preserve it , it must therefore be evident , that the exrittsire poBsestion of it by any distinct party SaT Vcnld prevent others from exercising the same » gBSaar . d prirflates as those . ¦ who would be in the Possession of it Q If a nan * &&& . a piece of land by bi » own labour , ««» _» by bringing it into s > better state of eultrrataon , * f * 7 building bouBes upon it , has he a right to the ex-^ Jve privDtge of prbdudBg , and eDJoyirg the whole Prance cf that piece of land during hia lifetime , pro-Tioed be continues to labour it ?
A . Unaoubtedly ; yet as society could not exist , or ™ rieht be maintained , without laws for regulating »• xfiairs of the coHummlty , nor these laws be pat " «• txecuSon without an execntive , or persons vp-5 ° ™ ted for the purpose , and a > there 'win always be ***»* who csnnot produee the necessaries of life , it if ^^ sary and jnst that he contribute an equal proporbod , tloBg with the other member * of the community , towafis a fend for tie rappon of those persons—no o-ter party baring any just claim to any other part 0- Have his children the same exclnsive right ? f - "CcdouUe aly ; their labour has been extended on « in coijseiion with their father , and they could r « i BJjoy the Irniu of tieir laboar without the latd .

Q If one man has this exclusive right to the produce of a certain piece of land , how can others eDJoy the same privilege 1 A- As he has only the right to as much as he is able to labour , and seeing lhat all are not inclined to be cultivators of the land , the time wi ll never arrive when those inclined to do so will want a field for their exertion . Q What is meant by the free exercise of mental powers ? A . The free exercise of thought . Q What is meant by the free exercise of physical powers ? A . The free exercise cf action with the hands , feet , oi tonsme , directed by tha mind .
Q . Do not those individuals who possess the land of Great Britain and Ireland , hold it in virtue of a superior right to do bo ? A . No . Q , How then did they acquire it ? A . The great portion of those bold it on account of their predecessors having driven the original inhabitants from it by brute force , at the time of the Norman Conquest and at the Reformation ; while others hold it in virtue of a grant from th # Sovereign ; and some by purchase . Q Do not those individuals who procured Ik by conquest bold ii justly ? A Noj superior power eannot confer seperior righto . Q Da not those who obtained it in virtue cf a grant from the Sovereign hold it justly ?
A . No ; Sovereigns 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 tbtt land by purchase not hold it justly ? A . No ; they are upon a level with pnrcbasers of Btolen goofls , 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 .

Carlisle . —ExnuosrixABY incest-and In-V £ 5 tigauchi . —On Monday and Thursday week , an inquest was held at the house of Elizabeth Bsrnep , Lowiber Arms , Beaumont , near Carlisle , before William Carrick , Esq ., solicitor , of Brampton , county coroner , upon the body of James Clarke , who died the Friday previously . Considerable excitement prevail * -d 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 as to the absurdity of roli ' mg a coroner ' s inquest on the occasion . It was necessary that the grave of the deceased should be opened , in order that the body might be viewed by tbe coroner snd
the jury . The friends and relatives of the deceased evinced the utmost reluctance to this procedure , and were with difficulty reconciled to the necessity . Even then , no one could be found for some time williug to open the . grave ; bnt it was at last done , greatly to tbe indignation of at least We female part of the inhabitants . The lid of the coffin was ihen raised , and the jury 6 worn by the grave . There was no post mortem examination . It appeared from the evidence which was very lengthy , that the deceased James Clarke , had been , about six months ago , an in en axe of the Cumberland Infirmary ; where he had been treated by Dot . Barnts , physician to the establishment for the disease called morbus eoxarius , or disease of the hip joint . The treatment , according to Dr . Barnes ' s evidence , was as Jollows : The first prescription applied is a blister . At the same time , there is a mixture of
spirits of turpentine , 802 . I did not see him again until the 2 nd of November . That was all that took place at the first interview . He was then an out patient . When he came on the 2 ud 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 16 ; h 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 tbigh . I am reading these directions from the book . On the 7 ih of September he was ordered to be bled 12 oz . from the arm ; 10 grains of Dover ' s powder to be taken at night—that ia a sweating powder—and next morning a dose of electuary and some salt 3 . He was labouring under chroBic rheumatism when I first saw 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 s > fS : cted in much the same way as he was at first ; but he was not in fo much paia as when 1 first saw him . The next entry was ia the Physician ' s Register . The ticket was kept at the head of the bed , on which I eatered my prescriptions , but it cannot be found . Is is not usual to keep them . I produce the Physician ' s Begister kept by Mr . Burch , copied from my ticket . Jt is an abstract of my ticket , and not a copy . " 1 & 42 , Ko . 8 , James C 3 arie , aged 50 , married j residence , Beaumont ; occupation , labourer ; date of admission ; discharged Dec . 14 , 1842 ; disease , rheumatism , &c . ; relieved . The treatment , twice cuppiDg ; subscriber ' s name , Mr . Thurman . "
That is all the entry I can find on the books . I can give no evideBGe touching the death of James Clarke , as he jeft the Infirmary alive , and I have not seen him for above half a year . When he left the Icfirmary , my impression was that he might live some years . He bad no complaint on him then likely to prove morial . I remember the circumstances of bis leaving ; he was then in less pain than when he entered the house , and less lame , though he was lame . His gentral health was improved . I considered his lameness incurable , and did not therefore wish to keep him in the house . I saw him , fre--quently while an in-patient , and he was under my charge . Jane Clarke , examined—I am the widow of the deceased . I remember aim going to tbe Infirmary , as an out-patient , about harvest-time last year , ehber in September or October . At that time
he iboughi be had rheumatism . He was affected at the time in his knee and tbigh , and all on hi 3 left side . He was lame from it , and went on two sticks . This was wbfle he nsed to go in a cart to the Infirmary . He was afterwards in the Infirmary . When be came ont he did not find himself any better . He said he told Dr . Barnes lie would go home , as he did not feel any b tter , 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 afterwards ; after he left the Infirmary , several medical mea attended him . They were Mr . Hodgson , Dr . Jackson , and Mr . Elliott . They-came several times . They came backwards and forwards up to the time of his death . He was confined to his bed for seventeen weeks , ever since he was lifted on a table . Doctors
Jackfon and Elliot lanced his thigh on their first visit , a Thursday night , 1 think , and he went 10 bed on the Saturday night , and never got ont 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 . They gave him no medicine . They ordered none that 1 recollect . They put an issue ( se&'on ) in , and directed my hnsband to lay in bed , and keep quiet A piece of wood , or splint , was put on his thigh , but he could not bear it , and they took it off again . His diet was ordered to be lixht pudding , and so forth , but nothing heating . Several medical gentlemen were then examined , as to the nature of the disease , and the mode of treatment to be
followed in such cases . They all agreed that the deceased had beeu treated in a very improper manner by Dr . Barnes ; and quoted several medical anhorities to bear out their testimony . It may be proper to state , that the parties anxious to make out a . case of mal-treatment against Dr . Barne ? , consist of medical men , who have felt mu ^ h dissatisfied ' ever since the appointment of Dr . Ban > esv as physician , and Mr . Page as surgeon to the Infirmary ; and we fear their present conduct has originated in a factious spirit towards thoBd gentlemen , and not from honest and humane motives . The Coroner , then , summed up the evidence , and the Jury returned the following verdict : — " That the deceased , James Clarke , came ie his death by the visitation of God . from natural causes "

On the same afternoon , about four o ' clock ha was found by a gentleman sitting on his organ , evidently in a dying state , in a street at Islington , when he was tafeen to Islington workhouse , and there expired . The master , on receiving information of the boy ' s death , made preparations to bury him in two days afterwarda , and various reports having been circulated , one-was that the boy had been starved and treated with cruelty , and another that he had been ill-treated by some low fellows at a publio-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 Ray-street , Clerkenwell , interested himself and made inquiries , the result of which was not at all satisfactory , and he applied to Mr , Wakley , tho Coroner , for the purpose of causingan inquest to be hold upon the body prior to the interment taking place . It appears from Lucioai ' s statement , that the most inhuman traffic is carried on in the metropolis by a set of Italian fellows who bring boys from Italy for the purpose of begging and going about with organs , and other instrumentt-, < Sc <\ , and who treat them in a most cruel manner . They ( the masters ) compel their boys to bring them home 3 s per day , and in one instance an Italian residing on baffron-hill has no less than twenty-seren boys who are sent out with organs , imitation pianos ,
&o ., and are to be Been in every part of the town duly . This fellow , through the vagrancy of the boys , receives from them £ 24 i \ per week . He pays 3 * per week for a room in tho neighbourhood of Saffronhill , where they are huddled together like a pack of swine , and it costs him 5 a or € 3 per week for their support , chitfly consisting of soup road * of any offal , so that after all expenses he clears £ 22 Is per week ; and unless the boys bring home the required 3- } 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 and Genoa ; and he left England tho 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 are daily practised by the ruffians , who inveigle the boys from their native land by false promises thai they will be brought up to a trade , and , after a period of time , mentioned to their parents , they will be sent back again ; but the moment they arrive on the English shore the unfortunate boy . s aro sent to play upoa organs , &o . The Magistrates of the metropolis have used every effort to get at the masters , but hitherto they have failed . The boys , in consequence of tho 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 Bucn 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 be manifested .
Providential Eao * . rE . —The inhabitants of Northstreet , Lambeth , and the immediate neighbourhood , were much alarmed on Sunday evening about halfpast six o ' clock by a loud noise , which was ultimately found to proceed from a small house , the residence of a poor man , situate No . 4 , James Place , Northstreet , the ceiling of which , with part of the roof , had fallen into the bed-room . In bed was the youngest child , which was miraculously saved . Had it been two hours later , other branches of the family would have been in bed , and nothing could have saved them from instant death . As it is , the damage of the house , aad the entire destruction of the poor man ' s stock-in-trade , is the extant of the loss , his family , eight in number , having been kindly assisted by his equally poor neighbours .

London Smithfield j Cattle MARKBr , Monday . Sept 4 —There was a great change in the general state of trade to-day , forj which it is difficult to assign a feasible reason . Except for Beef the butchers purchased very sparingly of all kinds of meat , the which even a reduction of , in some cases , 4 d per atone failed to counteract . Aa tho former description met with a ready sale , the heat of the weather there ia every reason to suppose had nothing to do with this depression , neither can the supply be brought forward a& the chief cause . ! When the fact of London being clear of meat id borne in mind , this reaction is the more singular . Th ' ere 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 are expected on Friday next to the same consignment . The supply of Homebred BeastB this morning , amounting to about 3 , 000 head , was equal in quality to thoso of last Monday , or those of the preceding Monday ' s market , aad all sold by an early hour at rates fully as high as those of this day se ' uuight . Small Sooib and other crime Beasts may be quoted asj selling at 4 a to 4 s 2 d per stone , midiling quality 3 i lOd , and excellent serviceable Beef at 3 s 81 . As usual the return of Sheep last night was some thousands above the actual supply of this morning , but the latter number , although about similar on an average to the supplies for the last month or six weeks , may , the si ate of trade
considered , be reckoned asj constituting a very large supply . Taking the general tuq , the quality was equal to last week . From the opening of the market until the close the Mutton ! trade was dull—exceedingly so—and many head were turned out unsold at three o ' clock . Downs of the best quality made but is per stone on an average , althougti some few very cheico nine-stone Sheep were saleable at 4 s 2 d . Middling quality may be qnoted from 3- > 8 d to 3 s 10 J , inferior 3 s 6 i , and coarse kinds from 3 s . The Lamb trade was equally as dull , but the improvement in price of Friday last was nevertheless maintained today , the fine choice Downs making 5 * per stone , and inferior quality from 4 . 4 . Voal and JPork were both a heavy sale , likewise at about 2 d per stone decline .
London CoRti Exchange , Mondav , Sept . 4 . — - The suppiies during last week were tolerably good of English Wheat and Flour , the former being 5 , 219 qrs , aad the latter 4 . 046 sacks . Of Irish Oats the supply was nearly 13 , 000 qrs . Of Foreign Grain we have to notice a large arrival—Wheat amounting to 60 , 132 qrs ; Barley . 7 , 326 ; and Oats 2 , 370 . To this morning ' s market tho supply of New English Wheat was tolerably large from Essex and Kent , but short from other parts , nor hayelwemuoh newgrain of any other description . Tho duty on Foreign Wnest having receded last Thursday to 14 * per qr . some considerable quantity since then has paid duty , and been entered for home consumption . Tbe Wheat trade
has been dull this morning , at a decline of 2 a to 3 a from this diy 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 tho same . New winter Tares aro in good demand . The supply of 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 beeu for several dayt * past has bad 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 all that is as yet arrived , and « vhioh fetched £ 8 .
Colonial . —Sugar —The market for BritishPlantation has beeu very firm , ja good business having been done at fully previous prices , and in some instances a shade dearer , j About 800 hhds have been sold . Tne pubic sales have consisted of 2 , 265 ba ^ s of Bangal , 65 cheats , 83 brls . Peruambuco , and 218 boxoa Havannah . The Bengal sold briskly , and chitfly 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 Harannah sold at 17 s to 20 a for low soft to fine yellow , being the extreme value . Although there , appears to be no general demand for foreign , yet , notwithstanding , ra ' . her a large business continues to be done weekly ,
chiefly in cargoes afloat for export , and for which former prices are obtained . Three cargoes have been sold , one from tbe 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 fahds , rather above I 83 , deliverable over the ship's side in London , for reshipment to the Continent ; and on the spot about 1 , 200 hhds Cuba Muscovado land Porto Rico at 17 s ( id , likewise supposed to be for exportation . The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at thu East and West India Docks was 1 , 038 hhds 110 t iercps , 62 brls . The quantity consumed this year is 53 , 497 hhds , 6 , 406 tierces , against 47 , 190 bhdg , S . 454 tierces at this time last year . The stock is 21 , 269 hhds , 3 . 096 tierces , being greater than last year .

Nearly all the Mocha was taken at 65 ,- 6 d to 73 s 6 & for mid to good clean garbled , and a few lots inferior at 60 s to 62- ) , being chi fly held above the value , but for the small portion whicb . sold , the advance already noticed was fally established .

Ma ^ h hstgb Coax Market , Saturday , Sept . 2 —A steady demand from the trade ha * enabled factors to rff ct sales of all ?< " > d and superfine parcels of fresh English or Irish Fiour on arrival ; and . as the stocks in consumers' bands are very considerably reduced , an improvement in value has beeu realized . For inferior qualities of Fiour there vuno inquiry ; and pnees were barely supported . Oatmeal was likewise in but limited request . With the exception of Oatmeal and Flour from Ireland , of which the supplies , considering the period of the year , aro large , the imports of all articles thence and coastwise are but to a moderate extent . The arrivals of Flour from the interior continue small , and of suit * able descriptions barey equal to the demand . The
duty on Wheat having declined to 14 i . 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 tbe current arrivals , will be entered for home consumption . At pur market this morning there was but hule passing in Wheat , and we repeat , nominally » the quotation * of this day Re ' nnight . Prime qualities of sack Flour wero tree sale , and 44 s per 280 lbs . was obtained foi choice whites ; inferior descriptions were in rather better request , but no advance in prices can be noted . A tew parcels of new Oatmeal were disposed , of at 25 s . 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 Markbt , Mokdat , Sept . 4 . — With the exception of 6636 loads of Oatmeal from Iceland , we have had light arrivals of Grain , &o ., since this day se'nni « ht . The duty on Wheat is now 1 . 43 . per quarter , and on Flour 8 s . 5 J . 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 OB the previous Friday was fully recovered . Some purchases were made on speculation . The weather has sinoe been exceedingly fine , with the usual effect of
deterring buyers ; holders , however , have shown no willingness to concede much , if any , in price . Flour has met a moderate demand , without change in . value . The Oat trade has continued to rule verj dull . Oatmeal ,., too , has gone off slowly , and both articles have been easier purchased . A little Irish new white Wheat ; of good quality , has sold at 83 . per 70 lbs . f& few Oats at 2 j . 6 d . to 2 s . 8 d . per 45 lb » . and a lot or two of new Meal at 23 j . to 24 s . per load . Barley , Beans and Pease , all the turn , cheaper , and little done in them .
