THE NIGHTINGALE FUND.—The statement that a sum
of 1,000 inedjidie had been contributed by the Sultan
to the Nightingale Fund is incorrect. It was errone-
ously paid into the bank to the account of Miss Night-
ingale, and the committee naturally considered it was
intended as they described it. It is now, however, un-
derstood that it is a gift of the Sultan to the nurses who
had served in the Crimea, and will be distributed among
them, for which purpose it will he at once transferred
from the Bank to the authorities at the 'War-office, with
whom, of course, the distribution rests.
IMPROVEMENTS NEAR BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—Yester-
day a number of men commenced pulling down several
houses near Buckingham Palace, which Here disposed of
by auction on Tuesday, for the purpose of being cleared
away, to carry into effect the improvements contem-
plated in the neighbourhood of the Palace. The houses
were situated in King's-row, Arabella-row, Queen's-
court, &c., and were of the largest size. It is intended
at this part to continue the width of the road, as it is in
front of the newly erected office of the Duchy of Corn-
wall, which adjoins the gate leading to the Park. There
aro several more houses to be removed before the entire
of the inaproyementa will be completed.
