We understand that Thomas Baillie THOMSON youngest s/o Rev. Dr. THOMSON, Rector of St. Stephen (Charlotte Co.) has, through the interest of his father's old friends, been gazetted to an Ensigncy in H.M. 47th Regt whose depot is at Templemore, Co. Tipperary, Ireland, but the Regt. is in the Crimea. The young gentleman was offered an appointment when at the Horse Guards to a regiment serving in Canada, but declined, saying he had proposed to be a soldier and thought the only proper place to learn his profession was in actual service.
