OMER PASHA.

The Journal des Debats gives the following de-
tails relative to Omer Pasha who commands the
army of the Danube :

" Omer Pasha 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, 13 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 Thurm, near Carl-
stadt, in Transylvania, and after having completed his
studies with distinction, the young Lattas entered into
the corps of the Ponte et Chauss6es' which in Austria
is organised on a military footing. In 1830, in conse-
quence of a misunderstanding with his superiors, he left
for Turkey, and embraced Islamism. Chosrew Pasha,
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
Mahmoud. 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 en-
camped near Constantinople. Omer was thenceforward
actively employed in the re-organisation of the Turkish
army, and, still protected by Chosrew Pasha, obtained
successively important missions and command in the
army. The troubles of Syria and the Albanian insur-
rection of 1846 gave him occasion to distinguish himself,
and attracted to him the attention of the Sultan. He
was sent to the Kurdistan, and succeeded in obtaining
the submission of that province, which was nearly inde-
pendent of the Porte. Named in 1848 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 1851 was the most brilliant period of the
military career of Omer Pasha. Named Commander-in-
Chief of Bosnia, the principal chiefs of which had re-
fused to recognise the Tanzimat, that is, the new organi-
sation 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 commanding a regular army of 50,000
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 Pasha is at Schumla, at
the head of nearly 100,000 men. He is described as dis-
playing great activity in its organisation, and is occu-
pied with fortifying the country which may become the
theatre of war.

" Omer Pasha is about 52 years of age, below the
middle height, but with a martial expression of counte-
nance. He speaks with the same facility the Servian,
the Italian, and the German tongues. After the insur-
rection of Hungary he undertook the defence of the re-
fugees whose extradition had been demanded by Austria
and Russia. He proceeded to Schumla, where he made
acquaintance with the principal refugees, and on his
arrival at Constantinople, he interfered zealously with
the Sultan in their favour. He took several of them
with him to Bosnia and Montenegro, and confided to
them important posts. Some of them have distinguished
themselves greatly, and have remained in the service of
Turkey."

By an official report, received from Dr. Gernett, offi-
cer of health, it appears that the cholera has subsided in
Hamburgh, no new attack having occurred in the three
days preceding the report, which is dated October 4.
The total cases for the city and territory amount to 531;
the deaths to 277, or 52 per cent. ; and there are remain-
ing under treatment, 60. Upwards of five-sixths of the
attacks took place in the lower parts of the town and
marshy districts, about one-sixth only in the parts above
the level of floods. In the new-built parts of the town,
which have complete drainage, water-closets, &c., pro-
portionally very few cases have occurred. It is gratify-
ing to learn that the English sailors, who amount to
about 800 and who suffered severely in 1849, have
almost entirely escaped, only seven having been attacked,
all of whom recovered. It is understood that a medical
practitioner was appointed some time since to watch and
aid the crews of English ships, by her Majesty's Go-
vernment.

The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea
in Newcastle-upon-Tyne during the present outbreak
has been 1,473. In the same period (viz., the first 39
days) during the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in
1831-2, the number of deaths was 267.

The cases of diarrhcea discovered and brought under
immediate treatment by the visitors at Newcastle
amount 3,664. The cases approaching cholera, 239.
The cholera cases so discovered have been 63 in num-
ber. Cholera corpses, 3. There have also been 15 old
cases passing from diarrhcea into diarrhcea approaching
cholera (two of which were relapses after treatment by
medical officer) ; and 12 old cases have passed from a
state approaching cholera to cholera—making the total
number of cases of all kinds discovered and brought
under treatment by the visitors from the commencement
of the outbreak to the 9th inst. inclusive, 3,969.

STOCKTON-ON-TEES.
Deaths from cholera, from September 24th to October
9th, 9.

The sanitary condition of this town is represented by
Dr. Waller Lewis as just as bad in several particulars as
Newcastle. Reiterated warnings have been given in vain
for the removal of nuisances, and now there appears too
much reason to apprehend that an epidemic outbreak is
inevitable. At the last meeting of the Local Board of
Health all the medical officers reported fresh cases both
of diarrhoea and cholera, and on proceeding, on report of
these officers, to inspect the infested districts, Dr. Lewis
himself witnessed the death of two persons—one a fine
young woman, aged 24, and another a child in an oppo-
site house, who expired a quarter of an hour afterwards ;
and four doors he saw a man, the father of a family, in
a state of hopeless collapse. Nothing had been at-
tempted to mitigate the foul condition of this locality.
