NEWSPAPERS AND ADVERTISEMENTS. From Mr•
Williams's late return to the House of Commons, it appears
that in 1851 the stamp duty on newspapers and advertise-
ments amounted to £362,224 ; in 1852, to £396,514 ; and
in 1853, (year ended the sth of January,) to £594,152,
A QUESTION FOR THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.
—When the Chancellor acknowledges in the Times the re-
ceipt of " conscience money" above £2, is he not bound to
affix a penny receipt stamp to every copy of the paper?—
Iliogenes.

DUTY ON SPIRITS.—It is shown by a Parliamen-
tary paper (obtained by Mr. W. Williams, M.P.) recently
issued, that in the year ended the sth of January last the
duty on spirits was—on foreign, £1,477,904; on British,
£6,226,736; and on Rum, £1,103,584.
A NEW WAR ROCKET.—We understand that an
extensive order has been received by the authorities of the
Royal Arsenal for the completion of a large quantity of war
rockets, on an entirely new principle, and which are ex-
pected to supersede those formerly in use. In consequence
of this, a number of hands are to be entered in the course of
next week.—Kentish Mercury.

EMIGRATION FROM GERMANY.—In the month of
September, 2,048 emigrants left the port of Hamburg for
America and Australia direct, and 1,402 proceeded from
that port by way of Hull and Liverpool. This makes a total
of 3,450 German emigrants from Hamburg alone. Of this
number, 3,158 were bound for North American ports, 4 for
Rio de J aneiro, and 290 for Melbourne, Sydney, and Port
Adelaide.—Hamburg Hansa. _ _

A BURNING SniuwE.—We observe that the several compa-
nies contemplate raisng the price of gas. Whether this de-
termination has been come to after a consultation on Coke, or
whether it is the result of a series of meteings, we are not
aware ; but certainly any advance in the price of gas is a
erious matter to the public, however much the various com-
Banjos may presume to make light of it.—Diogenes.
OMER PACHA.—The Journal des Debats gives the
following details relative to Omer Pacha, who commands
the army of the Danube :—" Omer Pacha is an Austrian
subject; he is a native of Croatia. He was born in 1801, at
Vlaski, a village situate in the circle of Ogulini, thirteen
leagues from Fiume. His family name is Lattas. His
father was lieutenant administrator of the circle ; his uncle
was a priest of the United Greek Church. Admitted, when
very young, into the School of Mathematics of Tharm, near
Carlstadt, in Transylvania, after having completed his studies
-with distinction, the young Lattas entered the corps of the
Ponts et Chaussees, which, in Austria is organized on a
military footing. In 1830, in consequence of a misunder-
standing with his superiors, he left for Turkey, and embraced
Islamism. Khosrew Pacha, who was then Seraskier, took
him under his;protection, procured him admission into the
regular army, and attached him to his personal staff. He
even gave him his ward in marriage, who was one of the
richest heiresses of Constantinople, and the daughter of one
of the Janissaries whose head he had caused to be cut off
in 1827, when that corps revolted against the Sultan
Muhomed. In 1833 Lattas, who had taken the name
of 'Omer, was chief of battalion, and was appointed aide-de-
camp and interpreter to General Chrzanowski, who had
charge of the instruction of the Ottoman troops encamped
near Constantinople. Omer was thenceforward actively em-
ployed in the re-organisation of the Turkish army, and,
still protected by Khosrew Pacha, obtained successively
important missions and commands in the army. Tho
troubles of Syria and the Albanian insurrection of 1846 gave
occasion to distinguish himself, and attracted to him the
attention of the Sultan. He was sent to Kurdistan, and
succeeded in obtaining the submission of that province,
which was nearly independent of the Porte. Named, in
1841, to the command of the army sent to the Danubian
provinces, he made the authority of the Sultan respected,
while, at the same time, he respected the susceptibilities
and privileges of those provinces, placed, as they were under
the double protection of Turkey and Russia. The year
1854 was the most brilliant period of the military career
of Omer Pacha. Named Commander-in-chief of Bosnia,
the principal chiefs of which had refused to recognise
the principal
is, the new organization of the
empire—he combated successfully, though with an inferior
force, the Beys of that country. At last, he was sent to
Montenegro, where he found himself for the first time com-
manding a regular army of 300,000 men. The intervention
of Austria, as is known, put a term to that expedition before
decisive operations could be commenced. At the present
date Omer Pacha is at Shumla, at the head of nearly
100,000 men. He is described as displaying great activity
in their organization, and is occupied in fortifying the
country which may become the theatre of war. Omer Pacha
is about fifty-two years of age, below the middle height, but
with a martial expression of countenance. He speaks with
the same facility the Servian, the Italian, and the German
tonges. After the insurrection of Ilungag, he undertook
the defence of the refugees, whose extradition had been de-
manded by Austria and Russia. Ile proceeded to Shumla,
where he made acquaintance withthe principal refugees, and
on his arrival at Constantinople he interfered zealousiy with
the Sultan in their favour. Me took several of them with
him to Bosnia and Montenegro, and confided to them im-
portant posts. Some of them laave distinguished themselves
greatly, and have remamad in the service of Turkey."
