Last night's Gazette announces, that the Queen has appointed the

Right Hon- ourable Robert Montgomery Lord Belhaven to be her Majesty's High Commis- sioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. AlsO, that Prince Albert has appointed the Reverend Henry Philpott, D.D., Master of St. Catharine's Hall, Cambridge, to be Chaplain in Ordinary to his Royal Highness.

We have great pleasure in being able to state, on authority, that his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury will consecrate the chapel of St. Augustine's College, the new training-place of our Colonial missionaries, on St. Peter s Day, June 29. It deserves to be remarked, that this institution is founded on the very site of that abbey from which the first missionaries went forth to Christianize the Heathen inhabitants of our native land.—Times.
