THE YOUJSG MAN'S CATECHISM . "We have had by us for some time a pamphlet , entitled « The First Step in the Ladder to- Political ^ Knowledge j or , The Yoit . vg Max ' s Catechism , " iy Hubert Bnxrell , of Greenoci , to which we jshould have directed earlier attention , had it not been for the Conference claim npon our columns . However , it is a work written in so simple and convincing a style , that it is sure to overcome all obstacles , —even a late notice . The author , from beings working man , and a thoughtful man , brings experience and reflection in aid of his subject , and has handled it in a style at once simple and captivating . The principal object of the author is to prove that the many
hardships endured by the -working classes , though not of iheir own creation , pay be destroyed by a proper combination of their own powers . He dwells at considerable length upon the necessity of establishing a Nation *! Back , the deposits in which he ide-Eires to see applied to the purchase of land , machinery , minerals , &c , and snch raw materials as wonld constitute a field for the expenditure of free laboor . Aa we may hereafter , when time permits , refer moreat large to this little work , we shall content ourselves for the present with the following extract , showing howthe smhor opens his subject , and proceeds to'impress i ; upon the minds of young men : —
Q . What is mas ? A . Han is a sentient being , capable of thought ,, reason , sod fcctisn . Q . What is sentient ? Jl ~ Perception , having power to oUscover , to know , fco sbserre . Q . What is thought ? A- Imagination , reflection , idea . Q . What is reason 2 Jl . That power by which man deduces consequences from premises , motives , principle * , or the tfiect 3 from .
CSBKS . Q . Are the mental and physical powers of all men © qnal ? A . No ; some men are endowed with powers better adapted for the performance of certain duties than elhers , and are terj deficient in powers necessary 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 society ? A- Yes . bnt a proper edncation would tend to lessen these distinctions , as many of the lower ranks of satiety have sr great natural qualification * as any moving in the higher , Q . Does the possession of superior mental or physical powers eonfer superior rights ? A . No Q . What reason can be assigned why superior powers do not confer superior rights ?
A . Because all men come into existence in the same manner , are composed of the same substances , possessed of the same organs , require the same materials to preserve life , and consequently ought to have the szme rights . Q . What rights appertain to man ? A .. The rights of man are manifold , but may be comprehended in the four following—viz ., bis right to life , bis right to self-government , his right to acquire and to hold property , and his right to the free exercise of his mental and physical poweis , so that the rights of others
are not infringed thereby . Q . What is it to have property ? J » . It is to have in possession that which is valuable to roan , or necessary to preserve life . Q . How many kinds of property are there ? A . Three—publ ' c , private , and joint stock . Q . What is public property ? A . Toat which belongs to tiie community collectively , and which no section of the community has a superior claim to . G , Can public property become private property ?
h . All property , may become private property with the exeeptlos of the land . Q . What is joint itock property ? A . That which a number of perains may put , or acquire , togetier , agreeably to contract entered into by the parties ; the possessors are called a joint-stock company . Q . What is private property ? A . It Is the exclusive possession of such materials as are requisite for the preservation of life—viz ., food , clothing , houses , 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 became the exclusive property of any distinct parsy or lass . < i What is the reason why the land cannot become the exclusive property of any distinct party or tW » *
A Becanse it is the foundation of all labour , and fifc n » material from which all wealth is produced ; * & * U men having the same right to life , and the J ^ **? & to preserve it , it must therefore be evident , «*** &e exclusive possession of it by any distinct party or cl&sg Would prevent other * from exercising the same ti ght * and privileges as those who would be in the J > Maession of it Q If a man enrich a piece of land by hi « own labour , *« her by bringing it into a better state of cultivation , <* by btdldirjg houses npoa it , has he a right to the ex-^ Esrve privflFge of producing , and enjoying ibB whole P ^ nes cf that piece of land during his lifetime , prosified he continues to labour it ?
A , Undoubtedly ; yet as society could not exist , or ™» lieht be maintained , without I * w > _ for regulating Hie affairs of the community , nor the * e laws be put too execution without as executive , or person * » p-Ptfefced for the purpose , aod as there wiil always be Penoos who « nnot produce the necessaries of life , it is ittefeisary and just that he contribute an equal propor-Eon , « long with the other members of the community , lowaids a fund for tie snppon of Ihose persons—^ no othsr party haviag any just claim to any other part of it < & Have his children the same exclusive right ? A . Undoubtedly ; their labour has been extended on it in coujuetion wiUi theii Jatber , ana they could rot enjoy the fmits of tkeir labour without the land .

Q If one man has this exclusive right to the produce of a certain piece of land , how can others eujay the same privilege ? A- As be haa only the right to as much as be 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 so will want a field for their exertion . Qr What is meant by the free exercise of mental powers ? A . The tree exercise « f thought . Q What is meant by the free exercise of physical powers ? A . Tie 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 rijjbt to do so ? A . No .
Q ,, How then did they acquire it ? A- The great portion of those hold it on account of their predecessor * having driven , the original inhabitants from it by brute force , at the time of the Korman Conquest and at the Reformation ; while others hold it in virtue of a grant from tht Sovereign ; and some by purchase . Q , Do not those individuals who procured ik by conqnest hold it jnBtly ? A . Ho ; superior power cannot confer seperior rights . Q Do not those who obtained it in vlrtuevof a grant from the Sovereign hold it justly ? A . No ; Sovereigns have no exclusive rights but what are conferred npon them by the people , and no people can coitfer rights which they themselves do not possess . Q Do those who acquired the land by purchase nol hold it jusUy ?
A- No ; they are upon a level with pnrch&Bers of stolen goods , who cannot hold what they hava purchased from the thief ; those vho sell the land , have no more right to it than the purchasers previous to purchasing .

CARU&Z . E . —ExnuOEDiSART Inqufst xxd Investigation . —On Monday and Thursday week , an inquest was held at the house of Elizabeth -Barnes , Lowther Arms , Beaumont , near Carlisle , before "William Carrick , Esq ., solicitor , of Brampton , coumy coroner , npon the body of James Clarke , who died the Friday previously . Considerable excitement prevailed in the township on the occasion , as the deceased had been ill for a long period , during which his case had been treated by vsrious medical mei > , and ihefeeli ' gs of the neighbourhood were strongly expressed as to the absordhy of holding a coroner ' s inquest on the occasion . It was necessary that the grave of the deceased shoald be opened , in order that the body might be viewed by the coroner and
the jury . Tke 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 foiled for some time willing to open the grave ; but it was at last done , greatly to the indignation of at least t » e female part of the inhabitants . The lid of the coffin was . hen raised , and the jury sworn 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 inmate of the Cumberland Infirmary ; where be had been treated by Dr . Barnes , physician to 1 he establishment for the disease called morbus coxarius , or disease of the hip joint . The treatment , according to Dr . Barnes's evidence , was aa iollows : The first prescription applied is a blister . At the same time , there 13 a mixture of
spirits of turpentine , 8 .-2 . I did not see him a&ain until the 2 nd of November . That was all that took place at the firat imerview . He was then an out patient . When he came on the 2 nd of November the prescripton stands thns . Let him be cupped on the left thigh to lOoz ., repeat the mixture . " It i 3 not mentioned when 1 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 thigh . I am reading these directions from the book . On the 7 ih of September he was ordered to be bled 12-jz . 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 electuary and some salts He was labouring under chroric rheumatism when I first saw him . I am
now going to speak of him as an in-patient . I recpived him on the 14 th of December , 18 i 2 . He was ifBicted in much the same way as he was at first ; but he was not in 50 much pais as when I first saw him . The next entry was in the Physician ' s Register . The ticket was kept at the head of the bed , on which I entered my prescriptions , but it cannot be found . It is not usual to keep them . I produce the Physician ' s Kegisier kept by JAx . Bcrch , copied from my ticket . It is an abstract of my ticket , and not a copy .

That is all the eniry I can find on the books . 1 can give no evideBce tonching the death of James Clarke , as he left the Infirmary alive , and I have not seen him for above half a year . When he left the Infirmary , my impression was that he might live some years . He had no complaint on him ihin likely to prove monal . 1 remember the circumstances of his leaving ; he wa- then in less pain than when he entered the house , and less lame , though be was lame . His general health waa itnpioved . I considered his Iamenes 3 incurable , and did not therefore wish to keep him in the house . I saw him frequently while an in-patient , and he was under my charge . Jane Clarke , examined—I am the widow of the deceased . 1 remember him going to the
Infirmary , as an out-patient , about harvest-time last year , ehher 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 side . He was lame from it , and went on two slicks . This was while be need to go in a cart to the Infirmary . He was afterwards in the Infirmary . When he came out hs did not find himself any better . He said he told Dr . Barnes he 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 sreTe . no better . The officers of the Infirmary did not attend him afterwards ; after he left the Jnfirmary . several medical men attended him . Tney were Mr . Hodgson , Dr . Jackson , and Mr . Elliott .
They came several times . They came backwards and forwards op to the time of bis dtath . He was confined to his bed for seventeen weeks , ever since he was lifted on a table . Doctors Jackson and Elliot lanced his thigh on their first vi-it , a Thursday night , 1 think , and he went to bed on the Saiurday night , and never got obi of it again , except when be was Lfted . He took physic on Friday . There was matter and blood gathered about ihe joini when these Doctors firel saw him . Tney gave him no medicine . They ordered none that I recollec :. They put an issue tseaton ) in , and directed my husband to lay in bed , and keep quiet . A piece of wood , or splint , was pnt on his ttrigh , but he could not bear it , and they took it off again . His diet was ordered to be lijjht pudding , and so forth , but nothing heating . Several medieal
gentlt-men vtere then examined , as to the nature of ihe disease , and the mode of treatment to be followed in tuch cases . They all agreed that the deceased had been treated in a very improper manner by Dr . Barnes ; and quoted several medical an horuiea to bear ont their testimony . It may be p / oper to state , that the parties 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 surgeon to the Infirmary ; and we ffar their present conduct has originated in a' factious spirit towards those gentlemen , and not from honest and bnmane motives . The Coroner , then , summed up the evidence , and the Jury returned the following verdic * : — " Thai the deceased , James Clarke , came te his death by the visitation of God , from natural causes .

On the sameafUrnoon , about four o ' olock he was found by a gentleman skiing on his organ , evidently in a dying state , in a street at Islington , when he was tafecn to Islington workhouse , and there expired . The master * on receiving information of the boy ' s death , made preparations to bury him in two days afterwards , and various reports having been circuiated , one was that the boy had been starved aud treated with cruelty , and another that he had been ill-treated by some 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 Rd-y-street , Clerken-¦ wel l , interested himself and made inquiries , the result of which was not at all satisfactory , and he applied tq Mr . Wakley , the Coroner , for the purpose of causing an inquest 10 be held upon the body prior to the interment taking place . It appears from Luoioni ' s statement , that the most inhuman traffic is carried on in the metropolis by a set of Italian fellows who bringiboys from Italy for the purpose of begging aud 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 3 s per day , and in one- iiistanco an Italian
residing on baffron-hill has no less than twenty-seven boys who are sent out with organs , imitation pianos , &c , mid are to be seen in every part of the town daily . This fellow , through the vagrancy of the boys , receives from them £ 24 Si per week . He pays 33 perweekfor a room in the neighbourhood of Saffronhill , where they are huddled together like a pack of swine , and it costs him 5 a or « s per week for their support , chiefly consisting of soup mado of any offal , so that after all expenses he clears £ 22 Is per week ; and unless the boys bring home the required 3 a per day they are most severely chastised . Another Italian , a j ; el * tion to the above , was heard to declare last week , that he had made his fortune in consequence of this sort of tralfio , 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 Kngland the other day with his coffers well lined , leaving the whole of his unfortHnato victims behind t «» starve , far distant from their own country . Shocking instances of cruelty could be enumerated that are daily practised by the ruffians , who inveigle tho boytt from iheir native land by false promises that they will be brought up to a trade , and , after a period of time , montioned to their parents , they will be sent back again ; but the moment they arrivo on the English shore the unfortunate boys aro sent to play upon organs , &c . Tne 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 evor given the names of their masters when brought before the bench .: We understand that the subject has excited the attention of some humane geutlemen , whe have formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of devising some plan for the protection of such boys , aud to do away with the disgraceful nuisance ; and should au investigation be made into the cause of the death of tho above boy , there is no doubt it will be searching , as the circumstance has caused a deep interest to be manifested .
Providential Escape . —The inhabitants of Northstreet , Lambtth , and the immediate neighbourhood , were much alarmed on Sunday evening about halfpast six o'cVook by a lond noise , whioh was ultimately found to proceed from a small house , the residence of a poor man , situate No .. 4 , James Place , Northstr « et , tho ceiling of which , with part of tho roof , had fallen into the bed-room . In bed was the youngest child , which was tmraoulously saved . Had it been two hours Jater , other branches of tho family would have been in bod , and nothing could have saved them from instant death . As it is , the damage of tho houso , and tho entire destruction of the poor man ' s stock-in-trade , is tbe extent of the loss , his family , eight in number , having been kindly assisted by his equally poor neighbours .

London Smithfield I Cattle Market , 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 the butchers purchased very sparingly of all kinds of moat , the which even a reduction of , in some cases , 4 d per stone failed to counteract . As tho 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 id 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 are expected on Friday next to the same consignment . The supply of Homobred Beasts 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 , and all sold by an early hour at rates fully as high as those of this day ee ' nnight . Small Scots and other prime Beasts may be quoted as selling at 4 s to 4 a 2 d per stone , middling quality l . Sa 10 d , and excellent servioeable Beef at 3 d 8 J . As usual the return of Sheep last night was some thousands above the actual supply of this morning , but the latter number , although abuuc similar on au average to the supplies for the Ia 9 t mouth or six weeks , may , the siate 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 tbe market until the close the Mutton trade was dull—exceedingly so—and many headjwere 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 cheice nine-stone Sheep were saleable at 4 s 2 d . Middling quaiity may be quoted from 3 ? 8 d to 3 i lOd , inferior 3 s 6 J , 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 i per stone , ani inferior quality from 4 * . 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 lass week were tolerably good of English Wheat and Flour , the former being 5 , 21 ° qrs , and the latter 4 . 046 ] sacks . Of Irish Oats the supply was nearly 13 , 000 jqrs . 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 the supply of New English Wheat was tolerably large from Essex and Kent , but short from other pans , nor have we much new grain of any other description . Tool duty on Foreign Wneat
having receded last Thursday to 14 ? per qr , some considerable quantity since then has paid duty , and been entered for home consumption . The Wheat trade has been dull this morning , at a docline of 2 s to 3 s from this day week . Barley is without alteration . Irish Oats la to 2 i dearer for light inferior samples . Beans , Peas , and other ] Grain unaltered . Flour nominally the same . New winter Tares are 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 23 per owt . 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 all that is as yet arrived , and which fetched £ 8 . Colonial . — Sugar —The market for British Plantation haa been very firm , a good business having been done at fully previous prices , and in some instances a shade dearer . About 800 hhda have been sold . The pubic sales have consisted of 2 , 265 bags of Bengal , 65 chests , J 83 brls . Pernambuco , and 218 boxes Havaunah . 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 jgenerally . All the Pernambuco was taken in above the value , viz ., at 22 a 6 d to 24 s for very low soft to mid white ; the Havannah sold at 17 s to 20 ^ for low | soft to fine yellow , being
the extreme value . Although there appears to be do general demand for foreign , yet , notwithstanding , rather % 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 the Havannah , with about 900 boxes brown at 19 s 3 d , delverable at Antwerp ; one of B&hia , 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 Bhip ' s side in London , for reshipment to the Continent ; and on the spot about 1 200 hhds Cuba Muscovado aud Porto Rico at 17 s 6 d , likewise supposed to be for exportation . The quantity of British Plantation landed la « t week at thf Eist and West India Dooks was 1 , 038 hhds 110 riercps . 62 brls . The quantity consumed this year is 53 497 hhds , 6 , 406 tierces , against 47 , 190 hhda , 5 454 tierces at tbie time last ytar . The stock is 21 , 269 hhds , 3 096 tierces , being greater than last year .
Coffee , —38 casks Jamaica , 581 bags Ceylon , and £ 00 Mocha , have been offered by auction . Toe Jamaica and Ceylon found buyers , the former chiefly at 97 d to 97 * 6 d for mid quality , and the latter at 45 s to 57 d 6 d tor low good ord mixed to fine ord coloury which are about previous prices . Nearly ail the Mocha was taken at 65- > 6 d to 73 s 6 d for mid to good clean garbled , and a few lots inferior at 60 s to 62 ^ , beiDg chi fly held above the value , but for the small portion which sold , the advance already noticed was fally established . The quan'ity of British Plantation landed this year is 3 ^ 70 hhd s , 1 , 805 brls , and ba £ S , being much the samei as last year . The home consumption , also , has been steady , viz . 3 , 893 hhds , 2 , 050 brls . and bags , The stock is 4 , 204 hhds , 2 , 020 brls . aud ba « a . ;;

Manchzster Cqrs Market , Saturday , Sept . 2 —A steady demand from the trade has enabled factors to tff ct sales of ail £ "od add superfine parcels of fresh English or Irish F < our on arrival ; and , as the stocks in consumers' hand 3 are very considerably reduced , an improvement in value has been realized . For inferior qualities of Flour there was no inquiry ; and" prices 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 , are large , the imports of all articles thence and coast ' wise are but to a . moderate extent . The arrivals of Flour from the interior continue small , and of suitable descriptions barely equal to the demand . The
duty on Wheat having declined to Hi . 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 tho current arrivals , will be entered for home consumption . A $ our market this morning there was but little passing in Wheat , and we repeat , nominally , the quotations of this day Re ' nnight . Prime qualities of sack Flour were free sale , and 44 s . per-280 lbs . was obtained foi' choice whites ; inferior descriptions wore in rather better request , but no advance in prices can be noted . A few 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 Markrt , Monday , Sept . 4 . — With the exception of € 686 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland , we have had light arrivals of Grain , &c , since this day se ' nnight . The duty on Wheat is now 143 . per quarter , and on Flour 83 . 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 the previous Friday was fully recovered . Some purchases were made on speculation . The weather has since been exceedingly fine , with the U 3 ual efftot of
deterring buyers ; holders , however , have shown no willingness to concede much , if any , in prica . Flour has met a moderate demand , without change in value . The Oat trade has continued to rule very dulL Oatmeal , too , has gone off slowly , and both articles have been easier purchased . A little Irish new white Wheat , of good quality , haa sold at 83 . per 70 lbs ., a few Oats at 2 j . 6 d . to 2 s . 8 d . per 45 lbf . and a lot or two of new Meal at 23 * . to 24 s . per load . Barley , Beans and Pease , all the turn cheaper , and little done in them .
