THE IRISH LAND BILL.

At the meeting of the Cork Farmers' Club on Satur-
day, it was decided to continue the operations of the club,
the recent Land Bill not being considered at all sufficient
to satisfy the requirements of the tenants. A proposi-
tion was made to the effect that all tenants holding by
lease since the Composition Act of 1832 who had a rent-
charge added to their rent, should be remitted the same,
provided such rent-charge were allowed to the landlord,
and that all allowances made to the landlord in this re-
spect should be also given to the tenant. The club con-
sidered the matter of great importance, and referred the
proposition to a committee for inquiry.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
An accident occurred to Lieutenant-General Hodgson
a few evenings since at the Sloane-square station of the
Metropolitan Railway. Some delay occured in opening
the carriage door, and upon the general alighting the
train had started. This he did not perceive, the night
being dark, and he was precipitated a considerable dis-
tance on the platform, receiving, however, no injury be-
yond a severe shock.
Lieutenant-General the Hon. James Yorke Scarlett's
term of command of the troops at Aldershot camp having
expired, the following farewell order of the day has been
issued from the Assistant Adjutant-General's office
" Sir James Scarlett cannot relinquish the command
of this magnificent division without deep regret.
Fully aware, from the first moment of assuming
the responsibility, how much success depended on
those associated with him, he was much gratified,
in their prosence, to be assured by the highest authority
that their united efforts had not failed to ensure it. From
first to last he has received the most cordial, frank,
and loyal support Limn general officers command-
ing brigades, from the divisional and depart-
mental, and from his personal staff. To each and
all, and to the officers now commanding regiments in the
division, and to those who during his command have
formed part of it, he offers his most sincere thanks, and
last, though not least, to the non-commissioned officers
and men, who, by their soldier-like conduct, have so
mainly contributed to maintain the credit of the division.
To the lieutenant general, in future, it will be a source of
pleasure to watch the career, and rejoice in the health
and honour and happiness of those to whom he now bids
adieu."

A letter from " A Mourner" appears in the Times, ad-
vocating that the proposed monument to Captains liur-
goyne and Coles should be rather a national monument to
the whole of the officers and crew of the Captain. The
writer says, "I would also hope, as the loss of the
vessel and her gallant crew cannot but be considered as
a national disaster, that the monument may be erected in
St. Paul's Cathedral, among the many other naval records
of this country."
Vice-Admiral Thomas Fraser, one of the few remaining
naval officers present at the bombardment of Algiers, died
at Portobello, near Edinburgh, on Friday last.
Our attention (says the Globe) has been drawn to some
facts connected with the appointment of Vice-Admirals
Wellesley and Fanshawe. Vice-Admiral E. G. Fanshawe,
who is Mr. Cardwell's brother.in-law, did not feel inclined,
when offered to take the command of the Channel Squa-
dron, and he was sent out to take the command of the
North-American and West Indian station. Vice-Admiral
Wellesley was ordered home to take command of the Chan-
nel Squadron. The North• American and West Indian
command is considerably more lucrative than the Channel
command. Vice-Admiral E. G. Fanshawe and his staff
were given passages by the mail steamer to Halifax. Vice-
Admiral Wellesley and staff were furnished with a large
paddle-wheel frigate to convey them to England, and if
she is to return to her station the cost of coals alone will
be nearly one thousand pounds. Apropos of these changes
we are reminded that a circular was issued from White-
hall, stating that no officer was to make use of political
or Parliamentary interest to obtain employment.
Her Majesty's ship Ariadne, which conveyed the Prince
and Princess of Wales to the East last year, is now being
fitted at Portsmouth for the flag of Rear-Admiral
Cockburn, the commander-in-chief on the East India
station.

Professor Wyville Thomson, Queen's College, Bel-
fast, has been appointed by the Crown successor to Pro-
fessor Allman in the chair of Natural History in the Uni-
versity of Edinburgh.
CACAOINE.—Cacoa nibs on the removal of the oil fall
nto powder, and this powder is cacaoine. Cacaoine contains
neither sugar nor any other admixture whatever. Cacaoine makes
one of the lightest, thinnest of warm drinks, and is the most de
sirable of all fok use in the later hours of the day. Cacaolne, by
reason of the ingenious method by which the oil is removed, pre-
serves all the fine natural flavour of cacao nibs.—Prepared only
