      Numerous comp parts of the eocntryare made , as to the delay in the publication of this journal . We fear the business arragements connected with it are not what they ought to be , "We learn from Mr . Hey wood , that on Friday , Oct . 22 J No . 1 , had not reached Manchester : and the subj oined letter from Mr . Cleave , the London agent , woves that a lue delay , or worse , occurred wivh Jio . 2 . Mr . Qeave writes : — « DKab Sib , —May I request tint yon will be bo « ood m to allow me to itate to the Chartists generally , 22 to all who may be concerned , that Na S of the above journal did not reach Load on till Friday , mid-Sea Itft melt . Indeed so late did the panel arrive ,

      0 gt it / # *> h * 3 u 7 ebaaoe whatever of being sent into the country , as the balk of the parcels had been Wgit eff ; this will , to every reasonable person , seffid-^ gy explain the -why and wherefore ' vines * had so -jrc rtt apparent cams for Tenting its spleen . Numberigai totters baTe been received on the tnbjeet , nearly all iritten ta the wont spirit , condemning both town and country agents , when in truth set the slightest blame 02 be attached to any of as . For myself , after many yeert dealing with the country agent * , I can bear my testimony to their willingness to Tend that cheerfully for wfcifb there is a public demand . " Yonrs , faithfully , " JOHS CLBATE . "

      This state of things is nnfortunate . As Mr . Cleave States , juiick has fnll play ; and we have reason for saying thai it has not been idle . It is unfair that » uy individual should suffer from these bad arrange-Berts : at all events seme explanation should have been afforded to the country , to bare stopped the charges that hare been raised against Mr . Hey wood sod Mr . Cleave , and other '" treacherous agents , " as they are called—being of no less a character than jh * t they hare conspired to burke" the publication ! We hear , too , that insinuations of a mean character haTe been directed against ub , for not noticing god helping on the Journal . This is too bad . The blinds that give birth to such insinuations . are little and narrow . Where is the paper in the

      world that has so readily and so cordially hailed joto the SeTd every coadjutor , as the Star has ? ghnne on t&ose who would either give utterance to , er cotEtaiKJCB , any statement to the contrary ; or Tfkp woSd . attribute to us any other disposition flaa i&a-. of Helping on the good cause by any and erery aeans . In reference to the Executive JbcsJtiii we have not been able to notice it before tote because it had not been forwarded to us ; nor J » re we , ~ froni the defective business arrangements above s 2 tT » r& ) been able to procure a copy till withift one hour of going to press with the present paper- We have just Been the two first Numbers , jjjJgitH hare something of importance to say to tie Executive respecting them next week .

      THE EXCHEQUER BILL FRAUD . Our readers may remember , that at the time of the Newport-Monteaglo job we exposed the braggings of the Globe about the wondrous doings of the Whiga in Exchequer Reform ; showing that the change was inevitable , and proving that the financial saving by their management was really little or nothing . Our dissent , it seems , might have proceeded farther . According to tho account of their organs this week , they left the Tory abuses where they found them , and that in a point of daily occurrence . The constitutional importance of tbe Exchequerthe preventing of money from being used by the Ewentive that has not Been voted by Parliamentw ' e do not deny ; but , practically speaking , the

      genuineness of Exchequer Bills bears more directly and constantly upon the will-being of the public , than the larger function of Lord Monteagle to carry out the determination of Parliament to stop the supplies . The last is not very likely to happen : when it became probable / attention would be turned towards the Ministry , and the affair conld not be concealed . If even the Executive could make their demand secretly , it must be known to the Exchequer clerks , it most be known to the clerks at the Bank of England . Bat the Whigs , undertaking to reform an evil which the Tories were considering when they were turned out , actually leave the evil where they find it , and an evil that may affect the properties of many people .

      Such is the excuse of their own organs ; but it is a question whether the unbusmeas-like habits of the Whigs did not actually remove a cheek established in tbe Old Exchequer , costly and cumbrous as was the office . Under the old system , the M Office for the Issuing of the Exchequer Bills" was a braaca of the Auditor ' s office , under the superintendence of the ehief clerk ( the auditorehip being a sinecure . ) Orders ^ fot the manufacture of the peculiar paper on which Exchequer Bills are printed were given by the Senior Cletk of the Office for the Issue of Exchequer Bills with the " cognizance" of the Chief Cleik of the Auditor : the paper itself was . ' made " under the very strict inspection of a , Eapervisor deputed by the Auditor to attend the paper-mill during the process ; who , among other precautions

      which he is charged to exeroise , is to take care that no iingle sheet of the paper shall exist beyond the quantity transmitted to the Auditor ; " and a similar process was undergone for preparing the copperplates , and printing the impressions , except that the printing took place at the Exchequer , under a Bimilar superintendence . " Under suoh a system , it seems impossible that fraudulent issues could have takes place witfe ' out speedy detection , unless by colluBion between the Auditor ' s representative and the Head Clerk of the Office for Issuing ExclieaueJ " Bills , or between this last-named functionary and the host of papermakers , engravers , and so iorth . Two most important questions , therefore , arise . Were these precautionary checks of the Old Exchequer transferred to the New 1 If they were not , the faoility offered to fraudulent issues is as obvious

      Untitled Article

      as the scandalous xeglect towards the public . If the same processes > against fraud were understood to be adopted , then it becomes important to trace the chronology of the fraudulent issues . If they have ocourred since the remodelling of the office , there is a fair presumption that greater negligence ( if not collusion ) must exist somewhere than was found in the Old Exchequer . At all events , the public have a right to be informed , at the dose of the investigation , whether the old or any other checks exist in the office j and if so . by what agency they could have been defeated . Had the advice we urged ten years ago been followed , that Mr . Ellis , the old Pells Officer , and thesuggeeter of the most important changes , should have been appointed to the post of

      Comptroller at his salary of £ 1000 a year , instead of being pensioned off to make room for a Whig at £ 2000 , this fraui would most likely not have taken place . For EHis knew the workings of the old system , and what was necessary , what not . A question strongly agitated , as may be imagined , by Exchequer holdera , is whether Government is bound to make up the loss to the parties ! The name of the head officer of the Exchequer is the thiug which gave validity to the bill ; and if that name is forged the responsibility legally rests with the party taking an invalid document . In some cases this may lead to hardship , but not to so much as would appear at first sight . The questionable nature Of the original transactions , from the high rate of interest ,

      the repeated deposits by the same parties , when they would naturally take advantage , some time or other , of the turn of the market to sell , and the reported anxiety respecting the fdentical bills being returned , should all have excited suspicion ; and it is difficult to avoid the conclusion , that the original lenders , if not a sort of receivers , must have resolved to take their chance . BonX , fide holders are , no doubt , in a different position ; but transactions in Exchequer Bills , of such high amounts as Mr . Smith appears to have confined Tiimself to , are surely not untraceable like the transfer of sovereigns . Though they bear no endorsement , the books of the stockbrokers

      must show the particulars of each transfer , until they are traced back to the first issuer to tho public . If he indeed be insolvent , then , probably , a claim lies against the Government ; for , in the abeence of proof to the contrary , we cannot divest ourselves of the suspicion that the whole of this monetary confusion is at the door of the late Ministry or its agents at the New Exchequer , and that had all the checks of the Old Exchequer been properly applied , the forgeries could not have been committed . If this Buepicion should not be realized , then we think Government axe bound to bear bona fide holders harmless .

      As usaal when dealing with Exchequer mysteries , the Globe has exhibited a pompous inflation , and a ludicrous air of self-satisfaction at its sources of secret knowledge . In an article attributed by some of our contemporaries to an official band , the Exchequer organ thus alludes to Mr . Smith , as if conciliating a witness to be feared , since there was no necessity for referring to him at all" The salary of Mr . Smith was , we believe , £ 600 a year , which he bad anticipated woald have been advanced to £ 700 , but his hopes being defeated by the economy that has been carried of late into all the public offices , he had recourse to forgery as a temporary expedient ; and from a sum of £ 500 has been led , by those of whom it is believed ho has

      been the dupe . to the enormous araonn- , of his forgeries which we have above stated . Surely remuneration should be regulated not simply by the few hours of time required , which has too frequently been the Treasury standard of value , but by the amount of trust reposed , and the extent of integrity required . " A more profligate impudent defence was never set up . What Mr . Smith might have anticipated we do not know : in 1830 his salary was £ 500 a year , since raised to £ 600—a not unhandsome remuneration for a brief daily attendance at an office where hie labours were not heavy or his task difficult . As for " the amount of trust reposed , " it was , under the old system , simply the custody of certain papers , the number of which was strictly limited , and for every

      one of which h « had to account . But , supposing that as much trust was originally reposed as seems to have been reposed , most improperly , of late years , what a notion of morality must that mind possess which can plead the " low and niggardly salary" of £ 600 a year as a set-off to any dishonesty ! But if " integrity is hardly to be expected when tbo pay [ £ 600 a year ] of a party employed is not commensurate with the importance of his services , " [ filling jn and entering printed forms , &o . ] what a state will this country bo in whenever she goes to war 1 An officer on active service has all his time " occupied with his duties" ; liable to be called to exposure , privation ,, danger , and death , at any hour of the dav or niefat \ ana to expoad part of his " low and

      niggardly salary" on professional outfits ; " trusted " often with a large amount of property , constantly with lives , and with knowledge on which lives and victory itself depend . According to the new philosophy of the New Exchequer , our officers , though not" morali st justified ? ' ( wonderful admission I ) in decamping with such part of the military-chest as ih » y twHJnger , or Belling secrets to tbeenemy whenever their pay is inadequate to their anticipations , can hardly be expected" to resist the "temptation " of doing so !¦' " We said , " quoth the moralist , " and we Bay again , that integrity is hardly to be expected where the pay of a party employed is not commensurate with tbe importance of his services . Human nature is weak enough , without temptation heedlessly brought Into action against its natural infirmities . " 11 —Spectator .

      AMERICA . Acquittai , of M'Leop . —The mail-steamer Aeadia , which left Halifax on the 18 sh instant , brings papers from New York to the 10 th , and the tertoination of the proceedings in Mr . M'Lood s trial . His counsel made the best use of the nature or the evidence brought against him ; Urst , however , con- ? tending that had he participated in the attack on the Caroline , he could not be held accountable . No such offence as murder , said Mr . Spencer , could ariso out of the attack ; it was for the first time that an individual was made responsible for the acts which he committed under the authority of his Government . , It was shown that the Caroline was encaged in the service of the rebels of Navy Island :

      Schlosser was the rendevoas for their abetterson the American side : and he insisted thatthe boat was as mach hostile ! y engaged in the open war of rebellion at Schlosser as at Navy Island itself ; nobody pretended that the destruction of the boat at Navy Island would have been an offence . Bat tbat he was answerable for the life of his client , Mr . Spencer remarked , he would have ventured to take a verdict on the evidence for the prosecution alone . But he would prove that , in point of fact , Mr . M'Leod had nothing to do with the attack . Mr . Spencer adduced the evidence taken by commission in Canada , including the testimony of twelve persons who had been distributed into the attacking boats , and who all swore that M'Leod was not

      there . Colonel M'Nab deposed before the Commiseioners , that he was ordered by Sir Francis Bond Head to seek and destroy the Caroline ; that he was ordered to keep the object of his expedition a profound seoret , and that he did so , not declaring it until after the boats had left the shore ; that M'Leod was not of the party ; that after their return a list of the whole number engaged in the attack was sent to Sir Francis Head , to procure them some mark of approbation , and that in that list appeared neither the name of Alexander M'Leod , the prisoner , nor of Angus , his brother . Witnesses were then called-to prove that M'Leod was at Davis ' s tavern , in Ghippewa the day before the attack ; that he went to bed early , having been fatigued with Riding in Navy Island ; that he rose at sun down , and proceeded with a friend to the house of Captain ; Morrison , a retired British officer , five miles from Chippewa , spent the . night there , and breakfasted with the

      family in the morning ; returning to Chippewa after breakfast to hear the news , rumours of which had i-caohed Captain Morrison ' s house before breakfast . Among the witnesses was Lieutenant Shepherd M'Cormick , R . N ., who said , " I believe on © of the persona on board the Caroline was killed ; his death was caused by a blow from me immediately aftsr he had wounded me . I fired neither gun nor pistol ; I do not , believe there was a living creature on board the Caroline when she was oast loose and sent over theFalls . " The counsel for the prosecution tendered additional evidence ; but Judge Gridley deoided that it could not be admitted . The Judge then summed up in a way which excited admiration on all sides : and the Jury returned a verdict of . *• Not Guilty . "

      The Montreal Herald ^ statss that" Colonel" Grogan had been released by order of Sir Richard Jackson , administrator of the Government , on the application of the United States authorities . He was handed over , to an Inspector of Police , on the 4 th instant , with the directions to be safely escorted to the province line .

      THE SHORT TIME COMMITTEES * DEPUTATIONS . ( From OaeUer * s Fleet Papers . ) " London , Nov . 2 , 1841 . " Mr Dear Sir , —As one of the deputation from the Short Time Committees of the West-Riding , which has recently waited upon the leading members of the Government respecting the introduction , in the ensuing session , of a simple and efficient Ten Hours' Bill , I think it my duty to report prowess to one whose longcontinued , earnest and disinterested exerertions in behalf of the young labourers of Britain , have jnstly earned fot him the title of ' King of the Factory Children . '

      "The deputation have resolved upon publishing a detailed account of the conversations they have had with the different Ministers they have bad the honour of meeting in the discharge of their duties ; and 1 feel certain that , taking into consideration the present state of the country , the causes « f which have been very fully discussed by them in the various interviews they have had , and the sentiments expressed by most of the influential members of the Cabinet , that the doenment will prove of universal interest to all classes , and of national importance at the present crisis of affairs .

      " In the meantime , I have much pleasure in informing you , that we have waited upon Sir B . Peel , SlrJ . Graham , Lord Wharncliffe , the Right Hon . W . E . Gladstone , the Duke of Buckingham , the Lord Chancellor , and Xoid Stanley , in the order here set down . The deputation were in every case most flatteringly received , their statements most attentively listened to , and tbe nature , extent , and bearing of the measures they recommended wen fully and freely canvassed . The impression left upon tbe minds of myself and the rest of the deputation is , that the present Government are fully aware of the real cause of the present widespread national distress , and most desirous of discover * ing a safe and efficient remedy . The workings of machinery have never yet been fairly investigated with a view to its application to produce general benefit , and we have reason to believe that the derangement its unregulated and misdirected use blthorto has occasioned , has now produced in the highest quartern a deep conviction of the necessity- # or « uch an inquiry .

      "In the course of our interviews we have availed onrselveB ef the opportunity of speaking out , boldly and truthfully , on other matters connected with the general well-being of the labouring classes . We have avowed ourselves sick of party nicknames and party contests , and prepared to accord our confidence and esteem to any party or men who will honestly examine into the real condition of the producing classes , and apply a timely remedy j and have , farther , pressed upon the attention of the Government the adoption of a series of measures , which , in our estimation , would securo for it the suppeit of the moderate and well-meaning of all parties , and ensure the proBpsctiva permanent welfare of the country .

      " A fall report of these most interesting and important conversations will speedily be issued , for the satisfaction of our numerous constituents ; in the interim , this hasty communication will apprise them and you , respected Sir , of the nature of our proceedings , and the degree d * wccess which has attended our exertions to lay before the Government the real state of the manufacturing operatives of Britain . " One thing we are especially entitled to rejoice in , whieh Is , that no third party , nowll-jaid commissioner , has interfered between us and those in whose hands the governing power of this country is at present placed . There lias been no glossing or concealment of facts ; no getting up of special casea , or evasion of the question . For , perhaps , the first time in the history of tab country , the Working « lass «« have been permitted to state their own case to the Government , and it has given a kindly , attentive , and respectful bearing to that statement .

      « Whatever may be the ultimate result of the labours of this deputation , I may , at all events , be permitted to congratulate you and your numerous * subjects' on the growing fajflaence of the views you have so long and faithfully advocated . How long we have yet to wait era we see them carried into practice , I know not ; but of this I feel assured , tbat the period cannot now be far distant , when a sense ot self-interest will induee oven those who have heretofore most strenuously opposed to join ow rani * * « With every trish for your health , and release from tie prieon which now prevents you from joining your friends in their exertions for the well-being of the people of our native land ,

      " aa , my dear Sir , most respectfully yours , "Geo . A . Fleming . " " Mr . R . Oaetler , Fleet Prison . "
