TDB PLANS OF OMER PA

A letter from Vienna, of the 27th, contains the fol-
lowing :—" What Omer Pacha intends to do no one
seems to know ; but it is certain that he will not cross
into Bessarabia. His generals are collecting a very re-
spectable force between Chernavoda and Yarna-Shumla,
but they will hardly at present interfere with the Rus-
sians should the latter think proper again to occupy
the north of the pestilential Dobrudscha. In a letter
written some six weeks since it was said that if the
Russians again crossed the Danube into the Dobrudscha
they would meet with no opposition from the Austrians,
whose object—the occupation of the two fertile Princi-
palities was already attained. The assertion was
then pronounced to be incorrect, but positive in-
formation has this day been acquired that the high
military authorities do not for the present intend to
take any notice of the new aggression on the part
of Russia. Austria is never tired of telling the world
that her interests require the perfect freedom
of the Danube, but she remains totally inactive,
although the right bank of the Lower Danube is again
in the hands of Russia. According to advices of the
18th from Braila, the Turks Were constructing two
pontoon-bridges across the Danube into the Dobrudscha,
but, as has been said, it is not likely that anything of
importance will be undertaken, as Omer Pasha is re-
posing on the laurels which were won at Oltenitza,
Citate, and Silistria. It is related that another attempt
is to be made to reorganize the Bashi-Bazouks, but how
it is to be done and who is to do it is not stated."

The provincial newspapers of Saturday last show the
prevalence of a truly national feeling in regard to the
objects of the Patriotic Fund. Besides the numerous
meetings to arrange for giving effect to the public
generosity, which we reported in the course of last week,
others have been held, and local committees formed, in
the following towns :.---Basingstoke, Bedford, Brighton,
Cardiff, Gravesend, Haverfordwest, Hastings, Hartle-
pool, Hereford, Halifax, Kendal, Llandilo, Margate,
Norwich, Newport, Newport Pwlheli, Walsall, Wis-
beach, and York.
THE CHOLERA IN EDINBURGH.—Four new cases and
four deaths have occurred in the city parish since Tues-
day, and though it is believed that a few have also
occurred in the parish of St. Cuthbert's, none have
been reported to the authorities. There have been
several fatal cases in Gilmerton and neighbourhood
during the week, and single cases are reported from
Duddingston Mills and Newhaven. The disease still
lingers about Stirling, Aberdeen, and some other
places in Scotland.
A TOBACCO SAVINGS BANK.—About some three
years ago a labouring man in this town was consuming
two half-ounces of tobacco daily, and sometimes more,
paying lid. for the half ounce. On going into the shop
of Mr. T. P., draper and grocer, as was his usual prac-
tice, and learning that the price of tobacco had been
raised to 2d. the half-ounce, he laid down his pipe and
tobacco-box on the counter, requesting that Mr. P.
would take charge of them until he called for them.
From that day forward he deposited a 4d. piece (being
the sum that it usually cost him for him for tobacco)
daily in a box, and, on opening it last Saturday, he had
the gratification of beholding upwards of 201. accumu-
lated in feurpenny pieces. He then very judiciously
counted out 201. worth and placed them in . the savings
bank, leaving the remainder as nest eggs to invite fur-
her Feuritsa.
