Lieutenant-Getieral Wynyard, soon after he took upon himself the command of the forces in Scotland, having ascertained the general scarcity of oatmeal, and the high price of provisions, gave,orders for re ducing the consumption of oats by the cavalry to one half, substituting other feed for the horses. By this resolution, not less than 175 additional bolls of oats per week are thrown into the market. We are anx ious to give publicity to this measure, and to its be neficial effects, under the persuasion that the same humane consideration which led to its adoption All operate upon the minds of others, during the present scarcity ; and that by a timely reduction of the quan tity of oats, and a substitution of other articles of food to horses not immediately employed in heavy work, a farther supply of that article, which with us is well known to be of the first necessity, may sti!l be added to the stock now brought into the market.
