We have it from authority, that oatmeal fell in the market of Granard, on Monday fe'nnight, from 50s. to 30s. per cwt. and several tons remained unfold.

From experiments lately made, the maize or Indian corn meal is found to be much more productive than wheaten or oatmeal; feven pounds of fuch meal or flour will take more than double the quantity of water to knead it into dough, and when baked on the griddle will produce above nine pounds and a half of bread properly exficcated whereas wheaten flour and meal, of the fame compliment, will fcarcely produce eight pounds and a half. A quart of Indian meal will produce firabout of equal confiftence of nearly three pints of oatmeal. In its nature, it is dry as rice, and therefore proves fo very yielding and beneficial, and is much fought after by the lower orders of the people in these times of dif

trefs.

As going in his carriage late, down the fouth wall on the preceding evening, a man ran toward the fervant behind, whom the latter apprehended to be a robber, whom he fired upon and unfortunately killed; on examination he appeared to be one of the privates of the artillery, on duty at the Pigeon-house, fervant to an officer who was returning there-and his object in following the carriage was to get a lift to where he was going.
