Thurfday late, in confequence of a communication from Major Sias, Captain Loworiato, of the Phi. lipfiown Yeomanry, went with a final! party to a haute at Ballycommon, in which it was intimated two noted infurgents were concealed, Thos. Wilde and John Mlifahon, both of Cork.ftreet, in this City, and for apprehending each of whom a reward of tool. is offered by Proclamation from Govern ment. Finding from the fituation of the place, having round the houfe a parapet wall, and obferv. ing tome men peeping over it, at the fame time undernanding that there were Come deferters with the above mentioned defperadoes, Capt. LONCTIFLO judged the banditti were prepared for a defperate refinance, and therefore found it neceffary to fend for a reinforcement, which he obtained in Captain Dotioson, of the Fourth Dragoon Guards, and Tome of his men. Upon the onfit the infurgents fired, land killed the kit mentioned Officer, and wounded the Gaoler of Philipltown. The villains who had been ken Milking under the parapet wall, it appear ed, were armed with Munderboffes ; chafe that were in the honk threw out large (tones and pieces of Rates to annoy their affailants. The infurgents at length, finding the place untenable, fled, and unluc kily cfcaped by an adjacent bog, but it is probable will be alertly apprehended. There was found in the hoofs from which they were routed a quantity of ammunition. On Hugh morning Hugh Byrne, commonly called Hugh Wily, was taken by Captain Huss s, to whoosh* peeviciogy feat a medlar that he would ferrender on conditions, however, which Captain Hams retitled, who immediately took Serjeant tibia corps with him, to the hoofs where be was armed. aid oendated hint prifoner to Homewood t and yeaerday. we boar, that beet% another of thofe proclaimed rebels, Barendered binsfelf to Captain Hynes *doer.

Thil was a caufe of great importance, on account Of the rank of the Oartiei lute/died in it, of the magnitude of the fuels to be decided by it, and of the national intereit in the inbjed with which it was connoted. Both the Plaintiffs and Defendants are per- Cons too well known ih the commercial world to to quire any obfervation. The fads on which this ac tion was grounded are the following :—ln the fpring of t 8o:, a Loan was negotiated with the Irian Chan cellor of the Exchequer for 1,623,0001. The con dition of this Loan was, to return Stock at three per coot. if to commence in April at 31. cos. per hun dred pounds ; if to commence in December, the Subfcniser was to have between the interval of the aril and fecond inftalment, at his option, either re ceipts according to the method pra&ifed in Great Britain, or Debentures bearing intereft in the way pratifed in the Loan of ifloo, and many preceding Loans on the vote of the Iriib Parliament. The Defendants contraded for the whole of this loan, with the affillance of a lift of fub-contradors, Tome of whom were refident in Ireland, otheis in England. To the former they gave the Government receipts, from the latter they withheld them, giving, however, a perfonal acknowledgm e nt inilead - of the original Government receipts. The Plaintiffs were tub-con. traitors to the extent of 52,0001. and they con tended, that in the character of Cub-contradors, they had an equal right to obtain theft receipts with the original contractors ; the object of this anion was, therefore, either to refcind the contract fur the whole, or to btain a verdict for damages, in conk quence of the lofs they had fultained by &bele receipts being withheld. Meru. ENSIGN, GARROW, and Gaza: AT, were Counfel for the Plaintiffs. Meffrs. ADAM and Palms for the Defendants. The Declaration Rated the propo(als for the trim Loan • the intact of the Plaintiffs to the exert of sa,ciocl that the Defendants agreed the Plaintiffs Mould have an equal advantage in the conditions with themfelves, as original contractors. It further Sated, that each fubfcriber was to have receipts ; Bich receipts not to be more in number titan three 'far tOOOL. char the plaintiffs were deprived of the means of applying for debentures under the au. *alley of Roth receipts, and that is conftquence, being obliged se boll their kith Rack s a confiderable [hie; had been Inialeed, which would have been-avoid ed if the vouchers Aped by Government had been trandmitted to the Plaintiffs. Mr. Ease twa.—" Nothing can be snore impor tant than the queßion now fibmitted to the confider. ation of the Jury. It does not merely relate to pri vate individuals, but is immediately connected with the permanent intereßs of this cottony. It would be impoffible for the nation to maintain the rink it fop. ports among the Empires of Europe, without that public credit, which the Ilupendous concerns of fi nance requires. No finale perils could poiably (apply the public exigencies; it was only by a Taff chain of private comedian that thefe can be - vided for, and to thew bow this is Bard ~l whether irregularly and iospnififtip, Sr 1 / 4 and ltir e = lW 4t - e "rift* 411141 pd3gpilit ' di*.

The week then is, to pay hp inftalments for thefe loans, and after the Id! bbtV meat is made, the Addiniber is entitled to a Govern meat receipt. This receipt is in a negotiable form, and is as faleable smog monied men as bullies..

The delhediste having entered into the comae, of whisk yes bets heard, with the bilk Chancellor of the Eiebettners knew, from the reports of Parliament, that the pion of the loan of Ireland was copied from the Cuftant.of England, that Pock receipts were to be given, and the& receipts they withheld.

This, Gentlemen, is truly an Irillt deed t he, in the fir* Once, there was to be only one contrading party, and, in the, next, it pre faced a coattail which never exiled. The ere& of 1 this regulation was, that the defendants could go ' into the bill markets with their receipts, while our lock was leaked up, and they aftually did effeft an advantageous Pale to the amount of illoosool. All the kill' fulafcribers had theft receipts I but, as if it were a levante concern, to the PALM they were not to be aligned. Charity, they fay, begins at home. I am lorry to add. it often ends there. Two quellioas are to be decided on this occafton ; firft, whether the whole contrail be not refciuded by this deviation from the terms of it by the defendants t If not re [chided, what is the extent of the damages to which the plaintiffs are entitled t And if the laft be the &Nett of enquiry, I contend, that the lock which remained in their bands &mild be realized to them at the price which prevailed, at the time when the receipt ought to have been delivered. We have paid inftelmeets under a pron* that we might retain the advantage of any legal difficulty.
