The Queen has been pleased to appoint Major H. Havelock, of her Majesty's 13th Regiment of Foot, to be a Companion of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath. Her Majesty has further been pleased to appoint the following officers, in the service of the East India Company, to be Companions of the said order:-- Brevet Major J.

Oldfield, of the 5th Regiment of Bengal Light Cavalry; Brevet Major G. Broadfoot, of the 34th Regiment of Madras Native Infantry; Brevet Major (local rank in Affghanistan) George Hall M'Gregor of the Bengal Artillery.
CAPTAIN SMITH. -- We perceive, by the London Gazette of Friday, that Captain Smith, of the 27th Regiment, has been promoted to a brevet majority for his gallant and successful resistance, and ultimate defeat, of the rebel boors at Port Natal. This appropriate and well-timed reward is, we are assured, the Duke of Wellington's spontaneous and unsolicited act. Captain Smith commenced his professional career in the navy, from which he transferred his services into the 27th Regiment, in June, 1813. He has since had his fair share of hard fighting both in the Peninsula and at Waterloo.
Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Balbiac is gazetted Colonel of the 4th Light Dragoons, vice the late Lord Edward Somerset; and General Newbery, Colonel of the 3d Dragoon Guards, vice Sir C. Dalbiac.[sic.]

The Imaum, intended to replace the Magnificent as guard-ship at Port Royal, Jamaica, sailed on Sunday. The Cambridge, 78, is ordered home from the Mediterranean to be paid off. The Vindictive, 30, in her late progress to the China seas, reached Java Head, in the Straits of Sunda, in seventy days from Torbay. In some days, from noon to noon, she logged 300 knots. The Samarang, 26, is ready to receive men and officers, and, it is understood, will be commissioned by Captain Belcher, for surveying service in China. The St. Vincent (flag-ship of the Commander-in-Chief), at this port, is ordered to be rated as a second-class third-rate, with a compliment of 640 men. The Orestes, 18, was taken out of the basin on Tuesday. Her destination is the Mediterranean.

SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN. -- On Sunday week, the Rev. Jonathan Gibson, curate of Billingham, near Stockton-upon-Tees, put an end to his existence by hanging himself in his garden. He had preached twice during the day, and buried a corpse. It appears that, for some time past, Mr. Gibson, owing, it is believed, to deep study (to which he had addicted himself), had manifested symptoms of mental aberration, and the members of his family were cautioned to pay a vigilant attention to his conduct.
