Last night's Gazette announces the appointment of Major-General John Bell

C.B. to be Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, in the room of Major-Genera' William Francis Patrick Napier, C.B.

A correspondent reports to our weekly contemporary the Church and State Ca- sette, that the Archbishop of Canterbury is in a " really.precarions state" of health. "His Grace's medical attendants watched by him during the whole of the nights of the 22d and 23d instant. The Archbishop is, of course, quite unable to leave his room. We understand his Grace has intimated, by letter, to the Bishop of Hereford, his anxious desire to be present at his consecration, and his regret that the condition of his health renders it impossible for him at present to fix a day."

The health of Mr. T. Dnncombe, M.P., is so far impared as to leave no hope that be will ever again be able to resume his seat in the House of Commons, of which for years he has been so prominent a Member.—Morning Post.
