The Austrian government is advising with the Western Allies as to the form of a protocol which will declare the conferences closed. No new propo• sitions are for the moment under discusion.—Daily News. BERLIN, FRIDAY EvaNING. Besides the Austrian circular despatch of the 17th of May relative to the Count Nessetrodes despatch to M. de Glints, there is in existence another confi dential despatch from Count Buol. In this document the Austrian ministers insist more particularly upon this point, viz., that Russia seeks to provoke a schism between the German governments. THE CRIMEA. The Vienna papers publish a consular report from Verna, received by electric telegraph, accord ing to which the number of the allied troops landed at Kedah on the 24th tilt., under Sir George Brown, was 20,000.

A private despatch, also from Varna, states that the Allies are in possession of Tchorguna, on the right bank of the river. Two Russian batteries and seve ral battalions, detached from the north of Sebastopol, were advanced upon the Khator Mackenzie road to support the retiring force.—Daily News. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE. AMONG the exhilarating clauses of recent tele graphic messages from the Crimea, there hes been one which has sobered the joy of success in a multitude of hearts. FLoallecit Nioanteous hes been ill, very ill. She is recovering ; and we are spared each a sacrifice as that of her precious life. The national nesse of obligation to her, the national admiration of her devotedness is SUCH, that no doubt many of us would willingly lay down our lives to save hers, and rejoice in the opportunity of so claiming kindred with one who has freely offered her life for the retrieval of many. Stich vicarious death is not set before us. So extreme a testimony to the general sense of her value is not required, nor could be rendered. Bat it does not follow that we can do nothing for this public benefactress; for her peace of mind, and, through that, her health. Her mind has long been weighed down by a heavy care ; and it is a cars which grows heavier from week to week: and it is a care from which she might undoubtedly be relieved if those who owe her most would do their duty. She who has saved life and relieved disease by wholesale hu to undergo the anguish of seeing life sacrificed and disease iaflicted wholesale by the beastly intoxication of the ignorant soldiers, whose officers look on apathetically, as if it were no concern of theirs. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE feels that it Is a concern of hers; and we, in sympathy at once with her and with our misguided soldiers, feel that it is a concern of ours; so pressing a concern, that we must needs appeal to the heart and conscience of every officer in the Bast to are his men from • worse foe than the Russian rifle or Black Sea storms. After the battle of Balakiava, when the wounded were brought to the Scutari Hospital by hundreds is a batch, the first duty of the surgeons was to separate the hopeful cues from the absolutely desperate, and bestow their care where it might avail. FLoIaXCI Ntonnoo•LE saw five soldiers set aside as in a hopeless condition. She inquired whether the fact was so. It was. She inquired whether the surgeons really declined to attend to these cases ; and she fully acquiesced in their plea that their duty lay else. where. She inquired whether these cases might be considered as confided to her. She was allowed " do what she liked" with them. She and another of the ladies fed these five men with a spoon all the night through, washed their wounds, and cheered their hearts, so that they were, by the morning, all fit to be operated on ; and they all recovered. Tip A i • ,1 t THE EXPRESS. SATURDAY ---------------- woman who received these bleeding sadfaintieg lie— at the hospital gates now sees the stretchers still arriving, though there has beat, fro battle; and en' the stretchers are poor fellows foaming st the month, black is the fsee—convalesoenta, tee often, oast back upon her hands, after all her oars; and if not oon velment% patients suffering under • worse injury than the Russians can inflict--• worse malady than climate can breed—because a moral direr underlies the raging physical one. There is worse behind. This desperate mischief is as contagious as the !firs' while it is as fearful as the cholera. The drunker. nese spreads not only through the ranks of a mi. moot, and from man to man of a company, but, iD speak the painful truth, among the women--ern to the hired nurses of the hospitals. The condition of 1 the soldiers' wives has been openly declared for many 1 weeks past. It is but too true that the habit 1 1 of drinking has spread among the hired nurses. lzhaostod by occasional extremity of toil, when UM kingilele were overcrowded with desperate oases, living in a fetid atmosphere, and tempted by the hoility with which they could obtain a transient relief to their sinking frames and spirits, these wow. who might have shared the immortal honours of the sisterhood of nurses, have, in too many jeerers, sank into intemperance. If something effectual be not done instantly, there will be a sweeping mortality among these misguided creatures—soldiers and their wives and nurses. The glaring hot summer has already settled down on the shores of the Bosphorus, and human stomachs in flamed with Kaki are, under the sun of Scutari, like powder in the focus of a burning lens. There are whole rows of apoplectic drunkards every night vomiting or disturbing their neighbours by their stertorous breathing. These are the destined victims of fever or cholera under the summer heats. Often, in the depth of the winter night, has FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE passed down between their beds, lamp in hand, looking from side to side, to see where her relieving touch or her word of comfort was wanted. Will those whom she has restored call upon her now, in the heats of the summer night, to go over her work again—on behalf, not of heroes, but of sots? Will they let that precious life be exposed again—under the mischief-making—not of the CzAR, but of the devil ? It is with others than the men themselves—ignorant, and therefore frail under trying new circumstances — that the blame chiefly rests. The most guilty parties in the business are the officers, who ought to have more true fellowship with their men, and the authori ties who might easily cleanse the market of the Greek poison which does the mischief. There is un fortanately no doubt about the apathy with which many officers look on while those who are under their charge are swallowing rank poison. They:will not stir to save their profession from the discredit. They will not stir to save their comrades from disease and death. They will not stir to prevent Miss NIGHTINGALE'S work from being undone—much less to help her, by keeping sound those whom she has restored. She has overcome everything else— the ill-will of medical functionaries, the obstructive ness of officials, filth, dearth, disease, and death; and now she is distressed and disheartened, and well-nigh overwhelmed by this deadly mischief which British officers might have spared her and the victims whom ebe cannot save. Is this to go on? It is perfectly clear that it need not go on. British Moen are pleased to suppose that soldiers will drink, and that there is no hindering them. Even if hit were so, it does not follow that our soldiers must ',drink Greek spirits—poisonous enough in themselves, and known to be adulterated with yet fiercer poisons. There is not a man of sense in England who will believe that the sellers of Raki may not be kept out of the way of the con valescents and nurses of the hospitals. If the officials concerned had any of the spirit of FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE in them they would prevent the bring ing of Rald within vendible distance, or would see it pound out upon the sand. There is no scarcity of pleasant drinks there, and cheap as well as innocent. Coffee abounds like water ; and wholesome Sherbets may be had as cheap as the vilest Reki. The Raki is I robed under the soldiers' noses by Greek scoundrels, who hanker after plunder and mischief of every sort. Are we expected to believe that the officers of our amps and armies and hospitals cannot exclude these wretches from the British boundaries? We will not believe it till the authorities have tried, and tried properly. If they will not try, everybody here will hope that Miss NIGHTINGALE will hasten home again, and bestow her inestimable services where they will not be contravened by those who ought to be her best helpers. Meantime, when it is once known what it is which mat weighs down that kindly spirit, every man who has:a heart will maks baste to see that she is relieved. Other pests have been got rid of, at Balsklava and elsewhere, when we at home have insisted that it should be so. Let r insist that our soldiers and their wives shall see owl smell no more Raki, and the thing will be done. —Daily News.
