SCOTLAND.
The Queen has appointed Dr. James Miller, Professor of Surgery in the Ifni. versity of Edinburgh, to be Surgeon in Ordinary to her Majesty in Scotland, in the room of James Syme, Esq., removed from Edinburgh.
Lord Patrick James Stuart, M.P., is appointed to succeed his late brother, the Marquis of Bute, as Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Bute.
Certain Chartists in the North of Scotland are organizing and arming. A great meeting was held at Aberdeen last week, while the Lords of Jus- ticiary were in the town on circuit, and a procession paraded in the Castle Street Square. On Monday, there was another demonstration, to hear the Convention delegates on their return from London, and Mr. Ernest Jones. The Committee of the National Guard, which has organized itself while the Convention sat in London, reported that 500 members had been en rolled. It was resolved to order a gun and bayonet from Birmingham for each member. Arrangements are made for a great number of simultaneous meetings.
