THE NIGHTINGALE FUND.—The statement that a sum
Sultan
to 1,000 medjidie had been contributed by the
to the Nightingale Fund is incorrect. It was errone-
ously paid into the bank to the account of
Miss N ight-
iega,le, and the c,mmittee naturally considered it was
intended as they described it. It is now, however,
derstood that it is a gift of the Sultan to tee 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 resty.
