them; but it seems he gave his notes. and the De-

city.

later in the day, BY that most genial of humorists,
the author of the "Gringos," whom was re-

Webster's personal presence. "But think" said
Wise, chow any one would look, whom you had

Among the distinguished arrivals by of the
recent steamers from Europe is Madame Omar Pa
cha, wife of the celebrated Turkish commander
who won so many laurels in Silistria. We under
stand that she has come to reside in this country,
at least for the present Her history is somewhat
remarkable. She is native of Trans ylvania and
at eleven years of age sent to school at Bucha-
rest where she developed wonderful genius for
music, and at fifteen had become celebrated in pri-

Omar Pacha at that time military commander
of Wallachia, and meeting the young lady at
sOiree, was delighted, first with her music and
then with her manners and cOnyersatiOn-becam
devoted to her, and finally married her. Not
sharing at this time the Turkish notions about
women, instead of shutting up his wife a home,
she was allowed to accompany him in his military
expeditions, and composed several pieces OF military
music, which became favOrtes with the Turkish
army during the campaign After the war was
over, the Marshal, yielding TO more ambitious
views and conforming to the custom of his cOun-
try. married the daughter of Hafz Pacha with
whom he had maintained political relations, and
directed the young Transylvanian to enter his ha
rem. This, with good deal Of Indignation aud
spirit she refused to debut at once sought and
! procured divorce from the Marshal, and some
two years since repaired to Paris, where she has
since resided She has lived entirely in private,
but has published several very popular pieces of
music, and has become well known in the musical
circles of the metropolis. She arrived in this city

The New York papers give full accounts of
the wedding of Senior Oviedo, the rich Cuban, and
Miss Bartlett, which took place at the Cathedral in
| New York, on Thursday evening. Archbishop
| Hughes ofiicated and addressed an earnest exhor-
tation to the new Y married couple. To escape the
| gazing of the inquisitive crowd the parties made
! their exit through the vestry. The bearing of the
| bride is spoken of as dgniied and seEpossessed,
| which is rather remarkable in view of the trying
ordeal through which the young lady had to pass.
! The Evening Post thus describes the scenes which
preceded the ceremony:
The vicnitv of the Cathedral which stands front
| inc Mott street, with its south side on Houston,
and the rear on Mulberry street, crowded by
curious and motley multitude. This part OF the city
cannot be termed aristocratic Tenement houses
abound, and the Celtic element prevails in the pop
! ulation. As the marriage took place between par
ties in an entirely different station oflife, it would
at first be supposed that thepeOple the locality
would not be deeply interested in it-but far
fir IN this, the whole of the ward seemed to be in
state of great excitement. The hucksters and cor
ner-rrocerymen suspended BUSINESS for the time,
and every window and door was occupied by inter
ested if not interesting gazers. row OF houses on
Mott street, directly opposite the Cathedral, was
especial favored-every window exhibited illimita
BILE perspectives of nnumerable heads as II the
Patricks and Bridgets residing therein had invited,
to see the outdoor part OF the wedding, all their
"cousins," even unto the fourth and fifth genera
ton.
The sidewalks were also alive. Frowsy girls,
with sleepy, dirty babies, darted hither and thther,
with a disregard Of their precious burthens to
which the neglect of Tilly Slowboy was minute and
careful attention. while lads of tender ages, shrill
voices and dilapidated pantalnons, rashlv impaled
themselves upon the pointed iron rangs or clung
madly to the street lamps. Through all these, hun
dreds of richly dressed ladies and kiddcd gentle
men picked their way from their carriages to the
Cathedral entrance.

seats would be reserved for them till half-past
eleven every seat occupied hour before that
