We have reason to believe that the Queen's approaching nuptials
will give rise to a brevet modelled after the plan of the coronation one of the 28th of Jutte 1838, which following its precursor of the 10th of January 1837, in such rapid succession, was, us every one expected it to be, somewhat of the shortest of its kind. If our present conjectures respecting the anticipated brevet turn out to be correct, its limited ex- tent will of course date its origin from the same cause as the one just enumerated. But although the brevet of 1839 may be no stronger in numbers than its immediate forerunner, it will be vastly more fertile in the creation of vacancies upon the home and foreign stair, as well as in connnand of regiments, and will place a great deal more patronage at the General Commanding in Chief's disposal.—United Service Gazette.
