We hear from good authority that her Majesty's consent to the alli- ance of her Royal cousin, the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, with the Hereditary Prince of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, will be formally given at the Privy Council to be held next week at Windsor Castle, and that the ceremony will take place as soon as the various preliminaries can be arranged.—Morning Herald.

Her Majesty in addition to the many munificent donations conferred on the city of Edinburgh, has instructed Sir Henry Wheatley to trans- mit from the privy purse the sum of 20/. to Miss Heriot, a blood relation of the founder of Heriot's Hospital.—Idem.
