He took the name of Omar, and in every thing-conformed himself to Turkish customs, and .identified himself with Turkish nationality. -Kl►osshrew Pasha made him his aide-de-camp, and gave him in marriage his ward, a lady of .personal attraction and of great wealth. Thus Omar became a Turk to all intents and purposes. :His military reputation rose steadily ; but it was in 1848 that he was first appointed to an impor tant command, The army of the Danubian pro vinces was placed under his control, and with very happy results : he repressed , sedition, and caused the Sultan's authority to be respected ; he gained the good-will of the inhabitants, with whose religious prejudices his own religious history had made him familiar, and the soldiers under his command were subordinate. He then acquired that local knowledge which he turned to such good account in the campaign, the history of which is here written ; and it is said that he then becaMe acquainted with the pecu liarities of the Russian army, and studied atten tively its whole system. He had not previously indicated any prejudice towards Russia, but rather respected that power ; he then became averse to Russia, and the determined enemy of its aggran disement and ambition. In 1851, the Bosnian chiefs, at the instigation of Austria, revolted against the " Tangimat," or new constitution of the empire, and Omar Pasha was commissioned by the Porte to suppress the revolt. This he did with such energy and skill as to acquire fresh military reputation, and yet with such justice and forbearance to the people, and such decisive discipline to his own soldiers, especially the intractable Albanians, as rendered important services to the people, the army, and the government. He has the faculty of attaching to him the brave and unfortunate ; and the Poles and Hungarians regard him as a man, a soldier, and a politician, with much devotion. It was chiefly under his influence that th e S u l tan too k so decisive a stand, on the subject of the refugees, against the reclamation of Austria and Russia at the termination of the Hungarian war ; and that circumstance, and the sagacity displayed by him in suppressing the insurrection in Bosnia, have made for him the deadly enmity of Austria and Russia. A writer in the United Service Magazine for June, 1855, not over anxious to commend him, nevertheless admits that he is a brave and skilful officer, worthy of success. " Military men of the higher class are not usually very enthu siastic admirers of Omar Pasha. The renegade general is not indeed one of those great soldier statesmen who have from time to time appeared in history as chiefs of the Ottoman armies of Constantinople. He is not an Achmet or an Omar, a Payazid or an Orchan ; he is not a Bran denbergh or a Mehemet Pasha. But he is never theless a man of wonderful phlegm and perseve rance, always ready in time of danger, and of very respectable abilities as a commander. It is possible that under happier auspices he might have done better, but it is by no means certain." This sentence is quite in keeping with the jealous and disparaging way in which military writers, at heart unfavourable to the cause of Turkey, write of its best general ; yet they cannot point out how he could, in his circumstances, have more com pletely answered the great ends of his command. The writer above quoted gives a very exact description of the difficulties which the general had to surmount. "He was assailed by every art which could be devised by the most un generous and determined enmity. He was reproached as a renegade and a Christian still at heart. His careful conduct in public life, the extreme caution and prudence which pervaded the most private arrangements of his household, 155 were dwelt upon and envenomed. by slanderous tongues as so many proofs of his hypocrisy. The powerful ulemah, or priesthood, were against him to a man; and every venal fanatic endeavoured to push his own base fortunes at the expense of the soldier who was already fighting a desperate battle for their very existence. He was sys tematically left without money or supplies, with a commissariat compared with the incapacity of which the inefficiency of our own was perfect excellence. It must have been something more than good fortune which surmounted all these difficulties, and Omar Pasha did surmount them.' Such was the man who won for Turkey the first month of combats on the- Danube, and who was now withdrawing his troops from the advanced positions they occupied, and concentrating them, in order to provide a sure defence against the increasing hosts advancing against him. In per son he is agreeable, although somewhat rough of countenance and coarsely formed ; he is con siderably below the middle stature, of dark com plexion, grave expression, even to austerity ; but his smile is sweet, and he has the address to con ciliate the affections of children little daughter regards him with singular attachment. He is a man of strong domestic feelings. Intel lectually, he is not so much distinguished for brilliancy or rapidity of conception as for clear , ness, consecutiveness, and patience of thought. He is a shrewd politician, and is governed and would govern by principle rather than by expe diency. THE GOVERNESS GRINDERS. (FROM PUNCH.) A " D I S T RESSED NEEDLEWOMANI) has long been an object of general compassion ; but the governesses have scarcely obtained the share of sympathy which their case deserves. The practice of governess-grinding, in spite of our frequent exposure of the offence, is still continued to a great extent by those whose vanity induces them to keep a governess, whom their meanness will not allow them to pay in proportion to her ser vices. It may be said that education, like every thing else, should be a matter of free trade, and that a man in want of instruction for his daughters should obtain his governess as he would his gar ments, in the cheapest market. We, however, question whether the article supplied is really an equivalent for even the paltry price paid ; for cheap governessing, like cheap tailoring and cheap furnishing, is often a most expensive experiment. We should like to know what Paterfamilias might expect his daughters to turn-out, if he entrusted their moral and intellectual culture to the article bid for in the following advertisements : Governess Wanted, to assist in educating six children ; music, singing, and French desirable. No salary given, but advantages offered —Address, T. 132, at the printer's. Nursery Governess Wanted, to instruct and take the eatire charge of two children and their wardrobes, ages four and six ; also, to he a companion to the lady. A comfortable home, with laundress's expenses, offered ; but no salary.--Address, T. 130, at the printer's. Who with one grain or half-a-scruple of con science would undertake to educate half-a-dozen children, to set them thumping on the piano, screaming sentimental ballads, and jabbering bad French, without any remuneration for the oner ous task, beyond the vague prospect of " advan tages offered." We certainly see some "advantage" to be gained in such a situation by the scope it must afford for the exercise of patience, resigna tion, self-sacrifice, and a whole catalogue of other virtues, but the obvious impossibility of doing what is required to be undertaken, will prevent any person of real worth from accepting the situation.
