THE _REVENUE.

OMER PASHA.

THE OBOLERA.

(From the Times.)

The quarterly statement of the revenue exhibits
it still on the increase, notwithstanding the lavish
reductions to which it has for some time been con-
tinually exposed. On the Customs of the quarter
compared with that ending October, 1852; there is
an increase of 120,6671., in the face of reduced du-
ties on sugar and tea. The returns of the Board of
Trade have already prepared us for this improve-
ment, by the great increase of importation in al-
most all articles of general consumption, including
sugar and tea, and particularly in wheat. In the
quarter's Excise, which has just been largely affected
by the repeal of the duty on soap, it is something
to report that there has been no decrease. The
Stamps show an increase of 98,7421., notwithstand-
ing an increase of about the same amount in the
corresponding quarter of last year. It is the na-
ture of the Assessed Taxes not to rally, like
other sources of revenue, after reductions, under
the influence of prosperity, for they are levied on
articles not liable to rapid fluctuations of use
and demand. Accordingly, after the late revision
of those taxes, we are not surprised to find them
yield 29,9961. less than in the corresponding quarter
of last year, though that quarter still showed the
effect of the measure substituting the inhabited
house tax for the window duties. A slight increase
in the produce of the income tax, and decrease in
that_ of the Post-office, are probably alike matters
of account ; as also may be said of an improvement
in the receipts from the Crown Lands and Miscel-
laneous items. The result is, that the net increase
on the whole revenue of the quarter from ordinary
sources is 226,7541. Taking into account Imprest
and other Moneys, and Repayment of Advances,
this increase is augmented to 417,7271.—a matter
of great congratulation at a time when the prospect
of a short harvest, war, and some possible checks
to our foreign trade, make it doubly important
that the credit of the country should stand high,
as it undoubtedly does at this moment.
The comparison of the whole year with that end-
ing October 10, 1852, exhibits corresponding re-
sults, except that in it there happens to be only
one branch of income—that from Miscellaneous
items—which does not show an improvement. The
several amounts of increase stand thus :—Customs,
361,519/. ; Excise, 372,768/. ; Stamps, 476,372/. ;
Taxes, 27,159/. ; Property-tax, 204,191/. ; Post-
office, 45,000/. ; Crown Lands, 182,888/. ; while
the single head of decrease is 110,0331. On all
these heads, except Customs and Taxes, there was
an increase in the year ending October 10, 1852,
as compared with the year before that. In the
present instance the aggregate increase: rom ordi-
nary sources of revenue on the whole year is no
less than 1,559,8641. There is also a large increase
in the receipts from Imprest and other Moneys,
and, still more, in those from Repayment of Ad-
vances. The net increase in the income of the
year rises to the very high figure of 2,311,7521.
We can hardly anticipate any attempt to explain
away so palpable and gratifying a fact. It is very
plain that we have not got to the end of the reduc-
tions of which the revenue is capable, though, of
course, the precise time for these reductions must
depend upon many considerations besides the
buoyancy of-the revenue.
With a revenue so sound and so productive, and
with an expenditure kept well within bounds,
there is not much reason for the misgiving that
has been expressed in some quarters as to the pos-
sibility of the financial operation to' come off next
January. • With a large sum of money in hand,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer will probably be
able to exchange the requisite amount of South.
Sea and other annuities for Exchequer-bills with-
out much difficulty. As expressed in our City
Article of yesterday, "public obligations bearing
3 per cent, in perpetuity will be paid off partly by
cash in hand and partly by securities carrying in-
terest at the rate of 31. Os. 10d. per annum, which
will admit of being reduced whenever the money-
market may be favourable for such an operation."
It is still, indeed, in the power of political events
to increase the difficulty and cost of the process,
but no imaginary plan of conversion could have
avoided such contingencies, and, unless we give
up all idea of paying off any portion of the debt,
except by the ordinary process of buying stock
at market prices, we must be prepared for
the casualty of the est possible plan being baulked
by the inopportune course of public affairs. For
our part, we entertain a confident hope that things
will be better rather than worse in January next,
and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will ac-
complish the conversion of the South Sea and other
stocks without that pressure on the money market
with which we have been threatened. Ti is very
true that the trade of this country is necessarily
an adventurous and so far dangerous state. No
one can toll how the affairs of Europe, how China,
how Australia, will affect our wealth or our credit,
next year. Appearances are so far against us, but
the country has often unexpectedly recovered from
more imminent dangers, and it is a great consolation
to reflect that in some of these matters we are only
doing our duty ; in others, only threatened with
what is inevitable. England had no part in the
origin of the Eastern difficulty. England has not
plunged China into disorder. England has not
been too prompt to risk her• wealth and credit on
the faith of Australian returns. If all these things
should prove against her, it is not her fault, nor
could they be avoided.

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 Bante et Chaussees' 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.

( From the General Board of Health.)
HANBURGH.

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 diarrhcea
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 diarrhoea into diarrhoea 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.

amounted to 141.

" 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.

STOCKTON-ON-TEES.

" 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."

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.

THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN IRELAND.

In addition to the persons injured by the late dreadful
accident, whose names have been already published, a
Mr. Lowry, of Cumberland, and his two sisters were
also sufferers on the occasion—one lady 'seriously, Mr.
Lowry and the other lady slightly. They are all, how-
ever, progressing favourably, and are staying at the
Shelburne Hotel, under the care of Surgeon Rynd.
Another of the sufferers (Miss Pack), who had been pro-
! nounced "out of danger," lies in a most precarious con-
dition. The surgeon of Stevens's Hospital states that
her life is in imminent peril. Inflammation of the lungs
has supervened on the injuries which she received in her
chest, and the contusions and lacerated wounds on her
legs have led to extensive inflammation, which threatens
to assume a bad form. The following additional parti-
culars connected with this fearful catastrophe are fur-
nished by the Freeman of Monday morning :
"We have learnt some additional particulars relative
to the providential escape of Mrs. Latham Blacker and
her two daughters, which is, perhaps, the most extraor-
dinaryu
incident connectedwiththt. cope of the lastishsad disaster. This
lady and her children occupied

•
which escape seemed to be utterly hopeless. Indeed,
when one examined the coupd in which they were sitting,
and saw how completely it was' demolished—the whole
of the seats being carried right into the middle of the
next compartment—it was difficult to conceive how their
lives could have been preserved. The explanation given
by one of the railway officials renders the manner of their
escape intelligible, but increases our wonder and admi-
ration at the extraordinary mode by which they were
saved from instant destruction. The explanation is shortly
this :—When the buffers of the goods engine dashed against
those behind the coupe, the violence of the shock was so
great that the carriage sprung up (to use the words of
one of the witnesses) as high as the wires of the mag-
netic telegraph,' and, falling on the engine knocked off
its funnel, and then rested on the smoke-box' in such a
manner that the Misses Blacker, who were seated next
the doors at either side, were thrown out upon the top
of the smoke-box,' where they were subsequently found
lying in a state of insensibility, but uninjured. Mrs.
Blacker being seated nearer to the centre of the coup&,
was more exposed to the force of the concussion, and
consequently received a compound fracture of the leg.
On inquiry at the Straffan station on Saturday, where
she still lies, we were informed that she passed a good
night, but has not yet been pronounced out of danger.
She is attended by Surgeon Adams.

We have already mentioned the wonderfully narrow
escape of Mrs. Barrington, who was found crushed into
a corner and covered over with fragments of the broken
carriage when her husband came to search for her. It
is stated that, on hearing the frantic shouts of the pas-
sengers who were on the embankment that the goods
train was running into them, Mrs. Barrington fell upon
her knees for prayer, and this attitude alone saved her
life. The next moment the side of the compartment
was driven in with the utmost violence, and the seat op-
posite to that which she had occupied was forced up-
wards in such a manner as to form a covering and pro-
tection for her head. Had she remained sitting, this
would certainly have struck her on the head or chest,
just in the same manner in which several of the unfor-
tunate passengers were killed. It is a curious circum-
stance that the bracelets, reticule, and other small
articles which were on Mrs. Barrington's person when
the accident occurred were found lying among the dead
bodies.

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT IN KING WILLIAM-
STREET.—MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—Shortly after six
o'clock last evening, a most extraordinary accident oc-
curred in King William-street, London-bridge, nearly
opposite the Swan Tavern, which, at the time, caused
considerable alarm, and had nearly proved fatal to
several persons. It appears that about the time in
question, one of the Favourite omnibuses was proceed-
ing alOng the middle of the roadway towards London-
bridge, when it came in contact with one of Macnamara's
luggage-vans, which came in an opposite direction, the
pole of the latter forcing its way with great violence
through the front panel of the omnibus, immediately
behind the off-side horse, and striking with great force
the conductor, who happened to be sitting on a seat
inside, who was so much injured that, after receiving
medical attendance, it was necessary to convey him
away in a cab. ortunately, there was only one pas-
senger inside (a young lad), who escaped without in-
jury, and from this circumstance, and the fact of neither
of the drivers being hurt, this fearful accident termi-
nating without loss of life is considered most miraculous.
RUSSIAN INVASION OF TURKEY.—Last evening a
public meeting of the inhabitants of Kensington, Ham-
mersmith, and the adjacent districts, was held at the
Prince Albert Tavern, Notting-hill, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the present aspect of the East-
ern question, and the conduct of the Government in
reference to it. The meeting was a very crowded one,
and a large number of persons who presented themselves
were unable to obtain admission. Mr. C. W. Dunford
was called to the chair, and the meeting was addressed
by Mr. R. Bateman, Dr. Truman, Messrs. Nicholay,
Williams, Beneste, -J. W. Howel, and D. Urquhart.
The resolutions unanimously adopted, condemned the
present system of managing the intercourse of nations,
as shown to be injurious by the state of events in the
East, and declared the necessity of abandoning secrecy
in diplomacy, and attributed the prevailing dearth of
provisions more to the conduct of Russia on the Danube
than to the defective yield of the late harvest. It was
further agreed to appoint a committee to draw up ad-
