THE IRISH CHURCH.

The Representative Body of the Irish Church have
published a fresh list of subscriptions, in which there are
some very remarkable donations. The Marquess of
Downshire, for instance, subscribes £5,000 ; and Lord
O'Neill, the Bishop of Tuam, the Dean of Ripon,
Lords Bloomfield, Darnley, Dunsany, Fortescue,
Powerscourt, and Rathdonnell, £l,OOO each. Sir Thomas
Bateson, Bart., and Mr. H. Bruen, M.P. , subscribe 21,000.
There are a large number of £5OO, £2OO, and £lOO
subscriptions. The Representative Body have again
commenced their onerous duties, and a large increase of
their resources is immediately expected. Comment is
made on the absence of contributions of importance from
England. Congregational collections are about to be very
actively commenced throughout Ireland. The donations
exceed £30,000.

The officers of the 4th Dragoon Guards, stationed
at Liverpool, are about to give a broadsword exhibition in
aid of the funds for the sufferers by the loss of the Captain.

CATHEDRAL PREFERMENT.—The prebend in Salis-
bury Cathedral, held by the Rev. Dr. Henry Parry
Liddon, Canon Residentiary of St. Paul's Cathedral, has
been conferred by the Bishop of Salisbury on the Rev.
James Erasmus Phillipps, clerk, M.A., vicar of War-
minster, Wilts.
A painful incident (says a correspondent of the
Scotsman) has lately occurred at Brighton. Mr. Mignot,
an American painter, left Paris at the last moment, and
with his wife and children sought a refuge in Brighton.
Shortly after his arrival he was attacked with smallpox,
and was carried from one lodging-house to another till he
died, leaving his family entirely unprovided for, for he
was compelled to leave his pictures and other effects
behind him in the French capital. Mr. Ruskin has sent
£2O to the poor widow, and it is hoped that a subscription
for her benefit will be opened in artistic circles.

H.M.S. DEFENCE.—Letters from the Defence,
armour-clad steam frigate, report her still at anchor at
Civita Vecchia on the 14th September, on which day an
Italian squadron of four large and two smaller iron-clads
stood in towards that town from the northward, and after
performing some naval manoeuvres, steamed slowly out,
making for the direction whence they came. Many of the
officers and several large parties of special men of the
ship's company of the Defence, went up by train to Rome,
and during two or three days' stay were, through the
kindness of Monsignor Stonor, an Englishman, and
Chamberlain to Pius IX., conducted over the principal
edifices, and shewn all public and private places worthy
of notice.

SHIPPING DlSASTERS.—lnformation has been re-
ceived at Lloyd's of the following shipping disasters :
The screw steamer Tynemouth Castle, bound from
Odessa to the United Kingdom, was ashore off Cape
Sestos • the Kate Winifred, belonging to Liverpool, was
wrecked while on a voyage to the Thames from Zebu ;
the ship Marion was wrecked in Galle harbour ; and
the brig Dolphin, belonging to St. Michaels, Cornwall,
was stranded while on a voyage to Lisbon from
Cardiff.

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. Cacioine makes
one of the lightest, thinnest of warm drinks, and is the most do
sirable of all for use in the later hours of the day. Cacacine, by
reason of the ingenious method by which the oil is removed, pre-
serves all the fine natural flavour of cacao nibs.—Prepared only
