YESTERDAY, ;it TWOWC:l664second M eetini
of the Subscribers to the Irish Lnan; and HoJdeib
Irish Omnium, was lield at Toin's G fFeeThods.
Cordhill, to take itito considetation a t.,trer ivhiiFli
had been receiVcd from Messrs. Bo RKOW FS tlltlCc
in answer to one sent by Messrs. RdeAats, E t;:.
RRTT and GoLlismio, in consequence of the ite,Au.;
tion of the first Meeting, 1-eve:clink the thither in ,
dispute between them and the Sub,Crilif.,rs;
Mr. ABRAHAM RogARTs having been called id
the Chair, stated 'the'grievantes.which he conceived
the Subscribers .to the Irish Loan,- and the Holder-4
of Irish Omnium, labotired under, fronibeing
barred the opportunity of taking their Cimniuin to
the Irish marker, which at preSent is -so tuu.)l pre-
ferable to that &the English; owing in the inannet
in which Messrs. Boutow ES and Co. had made their
'arrangements With the .Irish ‘Ooverntrient, ;He. con-
sidered jt unjust, that as they., had embarked in
the same concern With Messis. BoßttowEs and Co.
they should not enjoy the same advantages, by being
allowed to make their remaining. payments in Dub-
:lin. It.was his opinion that Messrs. Box iOWES and
Co, had no right to-bind them to. terms which did<
not operate with equal justice on themselves, He
contended, that every original Subscriber was as
much a Principal as
,Messrs. BORROW.ES and Co,i.
(who were in fact Agents) a ru.l'consequen tly ought to
enjoy the same benefits with them._ Mr. ROB ARTS
next stated, that the Irish Chancellor would be
happy to afford any relief in his power:, if any plan
could be devised to which ,Messrs. BORAtht ES and
Co. would agree; but nothing could be done without
their colysent;• as they appeared .to the Chancellor
to be the personi considered as Contradors. If;
therefore, Messrs. &A:Row-Es and Co. 'persisted in
excluding tbem from' the Irish Market, it was a vio.;.
,ition of all good faith between min and man.

It was here suggested by. a Gentleman, that Mr.
BORROW ES was on the spot, and if it was the wish
of the Meeting eie'. would attend, and answer any
proper questions that they ;night deem necessary to
ask him.

'This proposition was immediately agreed to, and

. .
Mr. BORROWES came forward, and in answer
to several questions put by several Gentlemen, he
explained the circumstance of having sold 188,bool,
belonging to English Subscribers of the Loan. This
was done the very day the bargain. Was anw)unced
when he was in. Dublin. That sum had been dis:.
posed•of to the Stock Exchange, and, certain'y was
for the general benefit of the Loan.. On. that
.tieca-
Sion, there only was 13,0001. of his own, and in lad
he had disposed of the sum in qUeition .(which was
at a premium- of 21) and no Mlle, because he had
no more he could sell.-71-le was in the situation of
wanting rather Stock than purchasers, and he had
sold that with which he could take the liberty of
doing so without specific authority ; and then he
wrote from Dublin to-England, to other Subscribersi
to obtain permission. to sell a further quantity at the
same rate,- and that, for one, to his own brother.
_Mr. Rortßowt.s farther, in the course of the con.
versation, stated, that he conceived the Subscribers
to be acquainted with the terms on which the Loan
was to be executed. .The House of PR E tvC.Y, Bari-
ROW Es and Co. was engaged to pay the interest here;
and till they were released by their Subscribers at
large, must adhere to the original plan, which
Was framed upon a -necessity of providing for that
engagement. It would be impossible now to change
the triode. He, did not see how it could be done.
The same complaints now made by the Englishi
were in the Loan of z Soo made by the Irish Subscrib=
ers, the latter wishing to get into the English Mar..
ken, as the former wished to go into the Irish Mar..
let. He conceived that had not the depression the
Funds lately experienced taken place, there would
have been no complaint whatever on the subjel. As
to the exchange being taken at ten, he said it would
be found tr fair average during the period of the pay-
thents; and+ it was in reference to the whole time
that it should be considered,: not as it was at the
passing moment,
On Mr. BORROWES retiritin.
_ _ _

Mr. SMITH rose and observa, that he.conceiveci
'Mr. Boanow E.S had acquitted himself and PaKtners
of every dishonourable charge. He would therefore
propose a motion to the effeß, ci That Mr. I3oß-
'tow Cs had explained to the satisfa&ion of the Meet;
ing, the matter in dispute between the Contradotiv
and Subscribers ;"' which motion was seconded, and
carried by a majority in hiS favour.
Mr. Sm tilt then moved another Resolution; thank.
Messr. Boa ROW ES and Co. for the honourable
and upright manner with which they cohdaled, the
business'of the Lori.

Mr. RonAßTs.app..rired sa disgusted at this pro.
position, 'that he immediately quitted, the Chair,
and left the room exelainiing that -he would rather
lose an arm than be the channel of! passing suds a
ridiCulous.motion. Mr. 13(ilt ROW ES had, however,
fortified himself with friends on the occasion, and
the Chair was soon filled by Mr"LANa. The Re_
solutions were carried without much ovposition,
but the matter we understand will not .drop here.

The importation of Grain into, Liverpool in the,
course of last week only; amounted to 4037 quar..,
ters, 3420 bags, 6156 bushels, 630 barrels, and ,roo
tons, Wheat ; 3460 barrek and r 216 bags Wheat
Flour ; 360 quarters, to bags Barley ;. 6195 quar,
ters, 4598 barrels, 37 tons 'Oats ; 169 tons, '192
bags Oatmeal.; 789 barrels Pork; too Sheep ; 189
Pigs, ; 145 Cows ; besides Butter, and a great
quantity of other provisions.

GUILDHALL.--Yesterday two young fellows
were examined on suspicion of stealing from a corm-
trvman 531. at a public-house in Fleet-market,
about five o'clock yesterday morning. A witness
stated 'being at the above pahlic-house at the time,
where the loser was very much inebriated ; the priso-
ner held him up, as by way of befriending, whilst a
second searched his pockets, under pretence'of taking
care of his money, called for a coaeh,..which being
procured, they put him into it under pretence ofsee
ing him safe to his lodgings. The witness suspect-
ing their intentions, got behind the coach, when,
coming near Temple-bar, the man who was most of-
ficiotA.got out of the coach and made :ofF, but by the,
vigilance of this honest man both the men were se..
cured. They both denied the charge. Theywere,
however, committed for re-examination.

DEFENCE:

4t GENTLEMEN,

" After having served my King and Country
above forty-seven .years as an Officer, if not with
partiviCar distiodion, 'yet, I 'trust, I may be Per-
mitted to-say, without stain, in either a military
or moral point of view ; I am at length brought
to a Trial, to answer for the negletts, errors, or
Omissions, of those whose business it is, at all
times., and in every particular case, to take special
care iliac- no certificate, or docUment, of any kind,
which require., the being previously examined and
properly checked, should eves be brought to a Com.
mandin&Officer for his signature, before it has un-
defgone such regular coutoe of office; but more par-
ticularly in the Marine Service, where, upon the .
sliglorst,view, it must appear obvious to every man
of business, that the complicated nature of the
interior department is of such a complexion, that
it is morally impossible, and consequently would;
be unreasonabl<- in the extreme, to expe& that a
Coalinayalfpg Officer is be held responsible -for
.the -reguar, and Qorrctt. discharge of die duties of
otb:rs ; for whose neglects or errors, were he to
'be coosidered eceountabie, the situation- of a Ctim-
mai.ciing Officer must he a very precarious one
indeed. It those employed in the different de-
'part-Ole:its under the Commanding Officer are not
particoloriy correef, he may unintentionally com-
mit hOnsell every day. Every Commanding Offi-
cer take it for granted, that such papers
as hat been elieck.Al at the proper offices, are
-ooild they not be so, it is next
to ;io impos,iiiiiity, he should discover, where the
error ,l,.:ccioien lies, in an office, where a
men o) d,rit..tous as the person. I am about to de-•
had so powerful an ascendant. No fraud, I
may venture to-assert, could have been committed
without his. knoWiedge, and in which he must not-
ha ye been a priecipal saw'. llad he acquainted his
Ottnioa,,ifii,g• Officer, when any thing was going
wrong, %%loch was ht s bounden duty to do, he knew
that otits Comtnandirg, Officer's 'ears were always
open -to receive i,onouroMe information. But the
detcdion of iramh, was not calcUlated to promote the
deeperai,d darker designs of so infamous a charater..
George
.7e5u5.2,7, the person here alluded to, was
a Serjeaot of Marines, under my command at Chat-

Pe, IA Paymaster, as his Clerk in the Squad—Office,

set ted, taking,with him Sool. of the public, money ;
but being. fortunately overtaken at Liverpool,
just as he was upon the point of embarking for, Ame-
