" Bank of England, Sept. 5, 1844.
" At a Court of Directors, held this day, resolved—
That the rate of interest on loans, for bills discounted
at the Bank of England, be as follows :—Bills, 21. per
cent. ; notes, 3 per cent. Such bills and notes not hav-
ing more than ninety-five days to run."

firms and discount brokers.

EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE.—MY. COX, of Aghada,
has grown fifteen barrels eight stone of wheat ❑pon an
acre and a half of land. The species is that denomi-
nated the silken drop ; and though the grain is plump
and large, it is not, it appears, productive to the miller.
