The poet Campbell's pension of 184/. a year has been

bestowed, we hear, upon Mr. Patrick Fraser Tytler. The pension is payable out of the Scotch Excise, and is in this way, as well as in another way, parti- cularly well merited by the historian of Scotland.—Globe.

The Queen, to mark her sense of Colonel Stoddart's services and suf- ferings, has granted a pension for life of 150/. to be equally divided be- tween the Misses Stoddart.
