      The Executive Journal Numerous Complaint...

      THE EXECUTIVE JOURNAL Numerous _complainte from different parts of the _eonniryare made , as to the delay in the _publication © f this joarnaL We fear the business _arraeements ooanected with it are not what they ought to be . "We learn from Mx . Heywood , that on Friday , Oct . 22 d , No . 1 , had not reached Manchester : and the subjoined letter from Mr . Cleave , the London agent , proves that a Hie delay , or worse , occurred with No . 2 . Mr . _Qeare writes rr" DbaR Sib , —May I request that yon win be so good as to allow me to state to the Chartists generally , and to all who may be concerned , that No . 2 of the then _Josrnal did not reach London till Friday , midday , lost vetk . Indeed bo late did the panel arrive ,

      that but few had any chance whateTer of being' sent into the _country , as the balk of the parcels had been sent _« ff ; this will , to eTery reasonable person , _sufficiency « _rpl » in the why and wherefore ' malice' had eo much apparent cause for Tenting its spleen . Numberless letters have been rewired on the subject , nearly ail written in the worst spirit , condemning both town and _eosntzy agents , when in troth not the slightest blame can be attached to any of as . For myself , after many year ' s dealing with the ceuntry agents , I can bear my testimony to their willingness to rend that cheerfully for wbieh "there ii a public demand . "Yours , _faiiWnDy , " _Johs _Clsavs . "

      This state of things is unfortunate . As Mr . Cleave states , malice has full play ; and -we have reason for saying thai it has not been idle . It is unfair that any individual should suffer from these bad _arraBgemeiits : at all events seme _explanation should hare been afforded to the country , to have stopped the charges that have been raised against Mr . Heywood sad Mr . Cleave , and other " treacherous agents , " us they are called—being of so less a character than that they hare conspired to " burke" the publication ! We hear , too , that insinuations of a mean character have been directed _agamst us , for cot noticing and _helping on the Journal . This is too bad . The Kinds ih % t _gire birth _~ to such insinuations are little and narrow . Where is the paper in the

      world that has bo Teadily and so cordially hailed into the field every coadjutor , as the Star has 1 Shame on those who would either give utterance to , or countenance , any _statement to the contrary ; or who would attribute to us any other disposition tb & n that of helping on the good cause by any and every means . la reference to the _ExiCfmrs Jopbjul , we have not been able to notice it before now , because it had noi been forwarded to us ; nor hare we , from the defective business arrangements above Bet forth , been able to procure a copy till within one hour of going to press with the present p » per . We h » _re jast seen the two first Numbers , and _shall have something of Importance to say to the Executive respecting them next week .-

      _"Wb "womLD again impress upon our numerous correspondent * the absolute necessity that exists for tixe communications icith which we are favoured being written vn one side of the paper only . " Das week , several communications have had to be laid on one side from the impossibility , for want of tine , of recopying them . All MAIS _, intended for the press should be written on one side only , for the convenince of the compositor . The Naito . tal _PErmcs . — We announce udih pleasure that our publisher , Mr . Hobson , has printed the _National Petition for 1842 , on a neat sheet , for the purposes indicated in our short leader of last week . He is ready to supply them to the associations and to individuals at the following charges : —1 W copies for 2 s ; 1 , 000 for 15 s . Petition iheets , of good string paper , ruled in four columns , and holding two hundred names when Jilled , may also he had , price Id . each .

      Secretaries and persons tcho need them h & ve only _te send an order addressed to Mr . H ., enclosing a post-office order , or stamps , to the amount , and they may have sent to their address any number they require . The Petition and sheets may also be had from Mr . Cleave , London : and Mr . Heytcood , Manchester . But in all cases the money must be sent in advance—the price being so low as to preclude credit . _Geobgb Ehis , Sheffield . —Address to Wm . Paine , Sheep-street , Stratford-upon-Avon . A Subscriber recommends that every Chartist missionary should make it one part of his business to have with him , wherever he may go , Petition sheets for signatures , and th & t they should , whenever practicable , be carried from door to door . He says , thousands in Northumberland were prevented signing the last Petition by their distance from the sever el places where sheets were lying . _Natjosal _PsTmox . — 'E . S idas recommends : —

      First , that each town appoint a petition committee , whose number shall be unlimited ; second , that the town be divided into districts , and that each committee man be appointed for his district , who shall visit every house in his district ; third , that as the committee will be chiefly composed of working men , who eannot afford to lose their time , the best time for them to get signatures will be on an evening , when they have done work ; fourth—That as every town is surrounded by rural parishes , where the principles and object of the People's Charter are out little known , each committee man take one of the nearest to his localitv . and each Sunday visit them .

      Tee _Ieish _UsirrasAi Suffrage Assocutiok has received from Air . Charles Haig , ofHawick , 153 Northern Stars ; and from various other quarters , during the week , fifty-seven copies of the 23 rd ult _^ and also several copies of the Scottish Patriot of the tame date . _LeiCDos . —T .

      The Exchequer Bill Fraud. Our Readers Ma...

      THE EXCHEQUER BILL FRAUD . Our readers may remember , that at the time of the _Newport-Monteagle job we exposed the braggings of the Globe about the wondrous doings of the Whigs in Exchequer Reform ; showing that the change waB inevitable , and proving that the financial saving by their management was really little or nothing . Our dissent , it seems , might have proceeded further . According to the 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 the Exchequerthe preventing of money from being used by the Executive that has not been voted by Parliamentwe do not deny ; but , practically speaking , the

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

      _buch is tho excuse of their own organs ; but it is a question whether the _unbusinesslike habits of the Whigs did not actually remove a check established in the Old Exchequer , costly and cumbrous as was the office . Under the old system , the "Office for the Issuing of ihe Exchequer Bills" was a branch of the Auditor ' s office , under the superintendence of the chief clerk ( the _auditorship being a sinecure . ) Orders for the manufacture of the peculiar paper on which Exchequer Bills are printed were given by tho Senior Clerk of the Office for the Issue of Exchequer Bills with the " cognizance" of the Chief Clerk of the Auditor : the paper itself was made "under the very _striofc inspection of a supervisor deputed by tho Auditor to attend the paper-mill during the process t who . among other precautions

      which he is charged to exercise , is to take care that no single 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 , nnder " a similar _superintendence . " Under such » system , it seems impossible that fraudulent issues could have taken place without speedy detection , unless by collusion between the "Auditor" * representative and the Head Clerk of the Office for Issuing Exchequer Bills , or between this last-named functionary and the host of _papermakers , engravers , and bo ibrth . Two most important questions , therefore , arise . Were these precautionary checks of the Old Exchequer transferred to the New ! If they were not , tne facility offered to fraudulent issues is as obvious

      The Exchequer Bill Fraud. Our Readers Ma...

      as the scandalous neglect 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 hays occurred since the remodelling of the office , there is a fair presumption that greater negligence ( if not collusion ) must exist BOnwwhere than was found in the Old Exehequer . At all events , the _pabUonaye a right to be informed , at the close of the _inVestiga _^ _- tion , whether the old or any other cheeks exist in the office ; and if eo ; by what agency they could bare been defeated . Had the advice we urged fen years ago been followed , that Mr . Ellis , t && old Pells Officer , and the _suggester of the most important changes , should have been appointed to the post of

      Comptroller at Wb salary of £ 1000 a year , instead of being pensioned off to make room for a Whig at £ ' 2000 , this _fraul would most like !; not have taken place . For Ellis knew the workings of the old system , and what was necessary , what not . . A question strongly agitated , as may be imagined , by Exchequer holders , is whether _Gorernment is bound to make up the loss to the parties 1 The name of the head officer of the Exchequtac . is _tne ; thing * which gave validity to the bill ; and if that name is forged the responsibility legally rests with the parfy 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 identical 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 . Bond 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 himself to , are surely not untraceable like the transfer of sovereigns . Though they bear no endorsement , the books of the stockbrokers must show the par ticulars of each transfer , until they are traced back to the first issuer to the public .

      If he indeed be insolvent , then , probably , a claim lies against the Government ; for , in the absence of proof to the contrary , we cannot direst 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 hare been committed . If this suspicion should not bo realized , then we think Government axe bound to bear bona tide holders harmless . Ab _usoal when dealing with Exchequer mysteries , the Globe has exhibited a pompous inflation , and a ludiorous air of self-satisfaction at its sources of secret knowledge . In an article attributed by some

      of our contemporaries to an omoial hand , 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 Balary of Mr . Smith was , we believe , £ 600 a year , which he had anticipated wonld have been advanced to £ 700 , but bis 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 he has been the dupe , to the enormous amount of his forgeries which we have above stated . Surety remuneration should be regulated not simply by the few hours of time required , whioh 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 his labours were not heavy or his task difficult . As for the amount of trust reposed , " it was , under the old system , Bimply the custody of certain papers , the number of which was strictly limited , and for every one of which ho had to account . But , supposing that as much trnst was originally reposed as seems to have been reposed , most improperly , of late years , what a notion of morality must that mind possess

      whioh can plead the low and niggardly salary" ol £ 600 a year as a set-off to any dishonesty I But if " integrity is hardly to be expected when the pay [ £ 600 a year ] of a party employed is not commensurate with the importance of his cervices , " [ filling in and entering printed form ? , Ac ] what a state will this country be in whenever she goes to war ? An officer on active Bervice has all his timo " occupied with his duties" ; liable to be called to exposure , privation , danger , and death , at any hour of the day or night ; and to expend part of his " low and niggardly Balary" on professional outfits ; . ** trusted " often with a Ianre 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 " morally justified" ( wonderful admission !) in decamping with such part of the military-chest as they can finger , or selling secrets to the enemy whenever their pay is inadequate to their anticipations , can ** hardly be expected" to resist the "temptation " of doing bo ! "We said , " quoth the moralist , " and we say again , that integrity is hardly to be expected where the pay of a party employed is not commensurate with the importance of his services . Human nature is weak enough , without temptation heedlessly brought tnto action against its natural infirmities . " ! ! —Spectator .

      The Short Time Committees' Deptjta Tions...

      THE SHORT TIME COMMITTEES' DEPTJTA TIONS . { From Oastler's Fleet Papers ) " London , Not . 2 , 1841 . " MY 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 progress to one whose longcontinued , earnest and disinterested exerertions in behalf of the young labourers of Britain , have justly earned for him the title of ' King of the Factory Children . '

      " The deputation have resolved upon publishing b detailed account of the conversations they have bad with the different Ministers they have had 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 Tory fully discussed by them in the various _interviowa they have had , and the sentiments expressed by most of the influential members of the Cabinet , that tho document will prove of universal interest to all _classes , and of national importance at the present crisis of _affiira

      " In the meantime , I have much pleasure in informing you , that we have waited upon Sir R . Peel , SirJ . Graham , Lord Wbarncliffe , the Right Hon . W . E . Gladstone , the Duke of Buckingham , the Lord Chancellor , and Lord Stanley , in the order here set down . The _deputation were in every case most flatteringly received , their statements most attentively listened to , and the nature , extent , and bearing of tbe measures tbey recommended _wero fully and freely canvassed . The impression left upon the minds of myself and the rest of tbe deputation is , that tbe present _Government are fully aware of the real cause of the present widespread national distress , and most desirous of discovering 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 hare reason to believe that the derangement its unregulated and misdirected use hitherto has occasioned , bits now produced in the highest quarters a deep conviction of the necessity for such an inquiry .

      " In tho coarse of our interviews we hare availed ourselves ef the opportunity of speaking out , boldly and truthfully , on other matters connected with tbe general well-being of the labouring classes . We have avowed _ourselres rick 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 ; and have , farther / pressed upon the attention of the Government the adoption of a series of measures , which , in our estimation , would secure for It the support of the moderate and well-meaning of all patties , aud ensure the _prospective 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 of success which has attended our exertions to lay before the Governments the real state of the manufacturing operatives of Britain . "One thing we are especially entitled to rejoice in , which is , that no third party , no well-pafd commissioner , has interfered between us and those in whose hands the governing power of this country is at present placed . Tbere has been no glossing or concealment of facts ; no getting up of special cases , o ? evasion of the question . For , perhaps , the first time in the history of this country , the working classes have been permitted to state their own case to the Gorernment , and it has given a kindly , attentive , and respectful hearing to that statement . '

      " Whatever may be the ultimate result of the labour of tbU deputation , I way , at all events , be permitted to congratulate you and your numerous ' _aubjtcts' on the growing influence of tbe views yon bare so long and faithfully advocated . How long we hare yet to wait ere we see them carried into practice , I know not ; but of this I feel assured , that tne period cannot now be far distant , -when a sense of self-interest will induce even those who have heretofore most strenuously opposed to join our rants . _-.- ,,.. . ¦ " With every wish for you health , sad release from the prison wbieh now prevents you from joining your friends in their exertions for the well-being of the people of our native land ,

      " I am , my desr Sir , most respectfully yoora _, " GEO . A . _FiBMIKG . " " Mr . R . _Oasfler , Fleet Prison . -

No Buch offence as murder , B * id Mr . ; Spencer , could arise out of the attack } it was for the _Jrst 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 engaged in the service of the rebels of Navy Island ;

      Scnlosser was the _rendevon * for their abetters on the American side : and he insisted that the boat was as mdoh hostilely engaged in the opea war of rebellion at Schlosser as at Navy Island itself ; nobody _pretonded that the destruction of the . boat at Navy Island would have been an offence . But that be was answerable for the life of his client , Mr . Speneer remarked , he would have ventured to take a verdict on the evidence for the prosecution alone . But be would prove that , in point of fact , Mr . M'Leod had nothing to do with the attack . Mi " . Spencer adduced the evidence taken by commission m Canada , including the testimony of twelve persons who had been distributed into the attacking _iwatfl , and who all _s _« ore that M'Leod was not

      there . Colonel _M'Nab deposed before the Commissioners , that he was ordered by Sir Francis Bond Head to seek and destroy the Caroline ; that he was ordered to keep tbe object of his expedition a profound secret , and that he did so , not declaring it until _nfter 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 Caippewa the day before the attack ; that he went to bed early , having been fatigued with Riding in Navy Island j that he rose at sun , down , and proceeded with a friend to the house of Captain Morrison , a retired British officer _, five miles fJtom 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 reached Captain Morrison ' s house before breakfast . Among the witnesses was Lieutenant Shepherd

      _ATConniek , R . N ., who said , " I believe one of the persons onboard the Caroline was killed ; his death was caused by a blow from me . immediately alter ho had woandeamo . I fired neither gun nor pistol ; I do not believe there was a living creature on board the Caroline when she was cast loose and sent over the Falls . " The counsel for the prosecution tendered additional evidence : but Judge Gridley decided that it could not be admitted . The Judge then summed up in a way which excited _adtnersttoa on all sides : and the Jury returned a verdict of "Not Guilty . " The Montreal Herald states that "Colonel" Grogau had been released by order of Sir Richard Jaokson , 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 . ¦
