Last night's Gazette notifies the separation of the bishopric of

Quebec into two sees of Quebec and Montreal • the appointment of the present Bishop of Quebec to hold the diminished see ; and that of Dr. Francis Fulford to he the first Bishop of Montreal.

Mails have arrived from our possessions both in the East and West. The overland Indian mail brings news from Calcutta to the let June, and Hongkong to the 24th May. The news is fitly characterized by the In- dian summaries as singularly unimportant. The West Indian mail brings dates from Jamaica to the 22d June with news of as little attractiveness as that from the East. The leading feature of the West Indian news is, that from drought in some places and excessive rains in others, the crops are likely to be short.
