BAYMA.RKET TfIEAT.RE.

Last night Miss Cushman appeared as Meg Merri-
lees, in the favourite musical drama of Guy Mannerly,
and elicited the usual enthusiastic applauci that in-
evitably attends her representation of the witch of
Darncleugh. The performance of this lady in Guy
Mannering is so well known and appreciated, that to
say one single word on the subject would be
a work of supererogation. After Mr. Harris's clever
comedy of The Little Treasure, we last night had a re-
vival of one of the old Haymarket eonieditta,i, entitled
lockiings for Single Gentlemen. The part of Colonel
Stanmore was excellently sustained by Mr. W. Farren,
and Mr. E. Villars made a capital Postlethwaite. Miss
E. Chaplin and Miss A. Vining as Prattle and Mrs.
Greville acted in their usual clever style, and elicited
loud and frequent applause. The house was both fully
and fashionably attended.

MISS NIGHTINGALE.

We hive been requested to publish the following cor-
respondence :

"London, July, 1855.
"Madam, Knowing your admiration for Miss
Nightingale, will you be kind enough to tell me what
kind of testimonial would be most acceptable to her, as
we are most anxious to present her with some lasting
proof of our affectionate admiration, and gratitude for
her devoted services to our sick and wounded soldiers ?
" I remain, Madam, yours faithfully,
"The Hon. Mrs. Herbert." 4i

" 49, Belgrave-square, July, 1855.
"Madam,—There is but one testimonial which would
be acceptable to Miss Nightingale.
" The one wish of her heart has long been to found a
hospital in London, and to work it on her own system
of unpaid nursing. For this purpose money will be
needed, and I have suggested to all who, like yourself,
have asked for my advice in this matter to pay any sums
that they may feel disposed to give, or that they may be
able to collect, into Messrs. Coutts's bank, where a sub-
scription list for the purpose is about to be opened, to
be called the 'Nightingale Hospital Fund,' the sum
subscribed to be presented to her on her return home,
which will enable her to carry out her object—i. e., the
reform of the nursing system in England.
"I remain, Madam, yours faithfully,
"ELIZABETH HERBERT.

TO THE EDITOR OF TRH SUN.
SIR,—I have been some time occupied in making
Atranoinients to induce a public subsciption, in order
to present a worthy and becoming testinionial to Miel
Nightingale.
Lady Canning, Mrs. Sidney Herbert, and others of
L
her personal friends, agree that this testimonial ought
to be a means of enabling Miss Nightingale to establish
an hospital or institution, in which she may, on her
return to England, work out her long-cherished object
of training nurses to attend the sick.

PRUSSIA.

The Universal German Gazette says,-under date
of Berlin, 20th :—" It is asserted that Prussia will
serve as the intermediate party in the negotiations
relative to the 4th point, relating to the freedom of
the Christians in Turkey. It is said that the
Porte itself has requested it. It is also said that
the visit of Prime Frederick of Netherlands to the
Swedish Court has political motives. The Prince
arrived from St. Petersburg, and went on to
Christiania, after having stopped only one day at
Berlin. It seems that his main object is to induce
Sweden to keep neutral."

HAYMA,RKET THEATRE:"

Last night the Busy Body which continues to have
a successful run, was followed by a "squib," called
Olympus in a Muddle; or, Wrong People in Wrong
Places—an attempt to extract some amusement out of
the political topic of the day. Jupiter having quarrelled
with the Goddess of Wisdom, makes a new set of admi-
nistrative arrangements, appointing the various gods
and goddesses to the posts for which they are most unfit.
Mars is made a maid-servant of all work ; Venal, nom-
' mender of the forces ; Mercury, an accountant ; Tiers
rules,
cules, a laundress—and so forth. The result is a " mud-
dle," in the elegant language of .the title, till all things
are put to rights by the return of Minerva. This idea
is attempted to be worked out by doggrel verses and
burlesque singing; but the whole thing is laboured, and
sadly deficient in point. Compton raised some laughter
-by his grotesque performance of Jupiter, and was an.
cared M a comic song, but the piece went off very flatly ;
and when the curtain-fell the applause was feeble, and

LOSS OF THE GUN-BOAT JASPER.

The Admiralty, we understand, have received official
confirmation of4the loss of the gun-boat Jasper. The
Jasper can less conveniently be spared just now from our
Eastern squadron than some vessels of larger armament,
her two guns having recently done service at points not
to be approached by the Mirandas and Terribles of the
fleet. She was last employed off Taganrog. The Rus-
sians make out a consequential relation between her loss
and a shot from one of her guns which a few hours before
struck the wall of a minster where the faithful were en-
gaged in holy offices. As the boat was on her way to
rejoin the squadron she ran aground about 100 yards
from the shore. One of those sudden falls to which in-
land seas are liable upon a change of wind soon left her
more and more aground, and she settled firmly in the
sand. In this situation she was exposed to a fire of
musketry from a party of Cossacks of the Don, who bad
been attracted to the scene. The crew, finding it im-
possible to save the vessel, left her, whereupon the Coe-
sacks approached and set the wreck oa fire. The Het-
man of these Cossacks produces a flag, which he affirms
was taken from the Jasper.

GERMANY.

The commission of the Second Wurtemberg
Chamber, charged with the examination of a pro-
position from one of its members, demanding a re-
form in the political organisation of Germany, has
made a favourable report by a majority of six to
one. The following proposition was framed, which
was to be brought forward for discussion on the
20th August :
" To pray the Government to endeavour con-
stantly, and by all the means in its power, to bring
about a reform in the political and legal organisa-
tion of Germany as regards the unity of Germany,
and of the active participation of the Confedera-
tion in the government of its general affairs." But
before the above date came round, the Moniteur
of Wurtemberg published the following decree :
" William, by the grace of God, King of Wurtemberg
—As a portion of the question submitted to the delibe-
rations of the present-Diet have been disposed of, but as
we cannot wait for a large portion of the others, seeing
the direction which the debates of the Chamber of De-
puties have taken during the last session—evidently not
producing results such as we could desire in the well-
known interests of the country, we have, on the advice
of our privy council, decreed as follows :-Ist, the pre-
sent Diet is dissolved. 2d, with the promulgation of
the present ordonnance the two chambers will cease
their functions, but they will elect a permanent com-
mittee for which purpose they will hold another sitting,
is which the two chambers will be united. 3d, con-
formably with Art. 186 of the constitution, new elections
will be proceeded to, for which purpose the necessary
ordonnances will be published in due course.

It is stated that the four vacant colonelcies will be
given to Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Charles Gore, C. 8.,
lately in command of the troops in Canada ; to Lieut.-
General Walton, General Simpson, and Major-General
Sir W. Codringten, K.C.B. General Gor- served with
distinction in most of the principal events of the Penin-
sular war, with the Light Division, and for a short time
on the staff of Sir A. Barnard, for which he has received
the war medal and nine clasps. At the conclusion of
the war he accompanied Sir James Kempt to America,
but returned with him in time for the campaign in
Belgium, during which he acted as aide-de-camp to
Sir James, and had one horse shot under him at Quatre
Bras, and three at Waterloo.- Lieutenant-General
Walton also served in the Peninsula and at Waterloo ;
he was for 40 years in the Coldstream Guards, during
the last six of which be commanded that regiment.
To General Simpson the regiment is given on the
grounds of seniority, past services, and his present ar-
duous position ; while in the case of General Codrington
it is the well-earned reward of the ability, gallantry, and
constancy of the senior officer who has gone through
every event of the campaign, and has not bee., we be-
lieve, a day absent. from the gallant Light Division since
it landed on itusAan territory. Those promotions will
leave three good-service pensions to be disposed of, and
one of them will probably be given to Colonel Shewell,
of the Bth Hussars.. There are now two vacancies oh the
ffi general ocers' list, and it is reported that Col. Shirley,
C.B. 88th—who, like General Codrington, has not been
a day ahseut from the Crimean service—Colonel Horn,
C. 8., 20th : Coli.itel Warren, C. 8., 55th ; and Colooel
Spencer, C.B , 44th, will shortly lie rai.ed to the !auk
of major-general. These officers have • all commanded
brigades foe different periods during the campaign.

PRUSSIA.

The Universal German Gazette says, under date
of Berlin, 20th :—" It is asserted that Prussia will
serve as the intermediate party in the negotiations
relative to the 4th 'Ant, relating to the freedom of
the Christians in Turkey. It is said that the
Porte itself has requested it. It is also said that
the visit of Prince Frederick of Netherlands to the
Swedish Court has political motives. The Prince
arrived from St. Petersburg, and went on to
Chrisliania, after having stopped only one day at
Berlin. It seems that his main object is to induce
Sweden to keep neutral."

THE MILITIA.

On Friday last Lieu..-Col. Browne, commanding at
Eastbourne, presented Crimean medals to various soldiers
of the Royal Artillery who had shared in the dangers
and the glories of Alma and Inkerman. In doing so he
addressed the men, sliuding to the different phases of
the campaign. The parade ground was crowded. The
men of the Royal Artillery were paraded with those of
the Royal Sussex Artillery Militia... After the presents'
tion of the medals Lieut. Col. Browne and Lieut.-col.
Lloyd addressed the men of the militia, oalli°1; "9:1

patronage, secretaries, nor members of Parliament
of any colour will be able to mystify them, that
the great majority of 16,000 Government appoint-
ments now given in defiance of all law and prin-
ciple, as means of local bribery and corruption,
are available for the improvement of the educa-
tional institutions of the country, and for the
promotion of industrial science and practical skill
of the country. Well might Archdeacon WIGRAM
rejoice as a minister at the prospect of the social
improvement of his flock by the withdrawal of
such powerful motives to local party divisions and
bitterness of feeling. A new and great force, an
organised corps d' armee, is brought in aid of
Administrative Reform.

GERMANY.

- -
The commission of the Second Wurtemberg
Chamber, charged with the-examination of a pro-
position from one of its members, demanding a re-
form in the political organisation of Germany, has
made a favourable report by a majority of six to
one. The following proposition was framed, which
was to be brought forward for discussion on the
20th August :

" To pray the Government to endeavour con-
stantly, and by all the means in its power, to bring
about a reform in the political and legal organisa-
tion of Germany as regards the unity of Germany,
and of the active participation of the Confedera-
tion in the government of its general affairs." But
before the above date came round, the Moniteur
of Wurtemberg published the following decree :
"William, by the grace of God, King of Wurtemberg
—As a portion of the question submitted to the delibe-
rations of the present Diet have been disposed of, but as
we cannot wait for a large portion of the others, seeing
the direction which the debates of the Chamber of De-
puties have taken during the last session—evidently not
produeinv results such as we could desire in the well-
known interests of the country, we have, on the advice
of our privy council, decreed as follows
:-Ist, the pre-
sent Diet is dissolved. 2d, with the promulgation of
the present ordonnance the two chambers will cease
their functions, but they will elect a permanent com-
mittee, for which purpose they will hold another sitting,
in which tke two chambers will be united. 3d, con-
formably with Art. 186 of the constitution, new elections
will be proceeded to, for which purpose the necessary
ordonnances will be published in due course.
" Given at Friederiehshaftn, this 17th of August,
" WILLIAM."

WAR DEPARTMENT, Aua. 23.

Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and
its Enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his Lordship by General Simpson.
Before Sebastopol, Aug. 11.
My Lord,—l had the honour to acquaint. you that
during the past weak the army has been unceasingly
employed in strengthening and improving the advanced
works, which are now so close to the enemy that it is
with the greatest difficulty any approach can be made.
By the casualty return which I enclose, your Lordship
will regret to see a large number, though the proportion
of wounded over the killed is considerable.
Brevet-Major Macpwan, of the 93d, is supposed to
have fallen a prisoner into the hands of the enemy. I
have caused a letter to be addressed to the Governor of
the place, to ascertain his fate, but up to this time I
have received no answfr.

The health of the army is on the whole good, al-
though the cholera still continues to take daily several
victims.

I have, &e.,

Lieutenant• General Commanding.

It is stated that the four vacant colonelcies will be
given to Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Charles Gore, C. 8.,
lately in command of the troops in Canada ; to Lieut.-
General Walton, General Simpson, and Major-General
Sir W. Codrington, K.C.B. General Gore served with
distinction in most of the principal events of the Penin-
sular war, with the Light Division, and for a short time
on the staff of Sir A. Barnard, for which he has received
the war medal and nine clasps. At the conclusion of
' the War he accompanied Sir James Kempt to America,
but -returned with him in time for the campaign in
Belgium, during which he acted as aide-de-canip to
Sir James, and had one horse shot under him at Quatre
Bras, and three at Waterloo. .Lieutenant-General
Walton also served in the Peninsula and at Waterloo ;
be,was for 40 years in the Coldstream Guards, during
the last six Of which he commanded that regiment.
To General 'Simpson the regiment is given on the
grounds of seniority, past services, and his present ar-
duous position ; while in the case of General Codrington
it is the well-earned reward of the ability, gallantry, and
. constancy of the senior officer who has gone through
every event of the campaign, and has not been, we be-
lieve, a day absent from the gallant Light Division since
it landed on Russian territory. Those promotions will
leave three good-service pensions to be disposed of, and
one of them will probably be given to Colonel Shewell,
_ of the Bth Hussars. There are now two vacancies on the
general, officers' list, and- it is reported that Col. Shirley,
C, 8., 88th—who, like General Codrington, has not been
a day absent from the Crimean service—Colonel Horn,.
• .C. 13., Oth ; Colonel Warren, C. 8., 55th ; and Colonel
Speneer,..C.B., 44th, will shortly be raised to the rank
of ‘roajor-general. These officers have all oommarided
brigades for different periods during the campaign, .

discussion on the more technical points of the proceel•
ingA of the union then ensued. A ion::: list of lectures
prepared on scientific and literary subjects, chiefly by
the clergy in the several districts, was produced. The
members and delegates of the institutions dined toga•
than, when the ch;ef subject of the morning's discussion
formed the prominent theme of the evening speeches ;
in the course of which, Archdeacon Wigram ex.
pressed the great pleasure which he felt as a minister in
seeing the reception given to Mr. Chadwick's statements
by the meeting, and to the confident expectations held
out that local patronage would be abandoned, for apart
from the higher educational interests which were in•
volved, it held out the cheering prospect of relief from
local party feeling, and great moral and social improve•
ment.

Dr. Booth, the Chairman, and Mr. Chadwick were
loudly cheered.

nister caused their leaders to be brought-to him,
and he told them where work might be obtained.
On that, the greater part of the men. went in bands
of 30 or 40 to the places indicated. Placards were
afterwards posted up, informing workmen that they
might obtain work in various specified places. A.
committee of the fortes on the bill for the establish-
ment of banks of issue had struck out all the
clauses rela,ive to the Bank of San Fernando, but
had adopted the others which provide for the esta-
blishment of similar banks in places where they
may be needed. The Gazette states that an en-
__

gineer of Rio Santo, having remarked that the cho-
lera never visits manufactories and workshops in
which sulphur is employed, has suggested that the 6
smell of it may be a preservative against the malady.
A letter of the 26th, received in advance of the re-
gular mail, says :

"In the Cortex, yesterday, the bill authorising the
company for the canalisation of the Ebtro to raise a loan
was adopted without discussion, and the debate on the
bill relative to substitutes fer the army was resumed.
The attendance 4 depuf ,s was not numerous. The
Committee on the Burt• ias accepted the plans of the
Minister of Finance last return of the sales of
nati: nal and ect .1 property shows that the
number of estate as 2,079, and that they rea-
lised 40,680,828 r 19,670,772 reels more than
the upset price oy the government agents. Va-
rious bills for regulating the liberty of the press have
been presented to the Cortes ; and they all propose
that offences, except those of libel, shall bo tried by a
jury. The cholera is sensibly declining. The Nacion,
a ministerial journal, referring to an assertion in an op.
position paper, declares that the Spanish Government
is on the most cordial terms with that of France.
The last news from Porto Rico are satisfactory; seven
artiilerymen who had taken part in the last military in•
correction had been shot."
