BAKER PASHA'S ENGLISH WELCOME.

Thoro is tho latoly roloasod oonviot, nnd moro Intoly tho mercenary of tho Porto, Bakor Puulm Whon Uub man wont to prison for o gross assault on a dofonco* less girl, it wan by tho poraonnl urgoncy of tho Queen that ho was ca?hiorod from tho army and doniod tho 25,000 dollars or so which was tho soiling vnluo of his commission. Hor Mnjonty proporly dosirfld to mark her nbh'>rronoo of his crime. Sat smoo ha has sold his sword to tho Turk, ! nnd dono goodsorriooto his muster, for tho maintonanoo of a systom of gorornmont under whioh defonoolws girls aro subjcot to worso outrago than that for whjoh Baker sufforod, ho has rogainod favor with his royal mntross. I say nothing of tho dinnorjgivon him by tho Dnko of Suthor* 1 land, by whioh it was intondod and pro* 1 olaimed that Baker nhouM bo rostorod to 1 his former social position. It happonod a 1 fortnight ago or moro, and in a moasuro i answorod its purpose. A dinnor has since • been given Baker At tho Marlborough > Club, at whioh tho Frinoo of Walos, with 1 tho knowledge, nnd approval of tho Quoon, ' prosidod. And it is ovory where atatod i that tho Quoon dosiros and intonds to ro« i instate Baker in tho army, in whioh ho i was, to do him all justioo, ono of tho most > oapablo and brilliant oOloors. 1 Bat tho hints thrown out with this onrl hnro mot with ft roooption of a kind surprising to their authors. Thoro may not bo much i opposition in society, whoro court ins 1 fluonoos aro alLpoworfnl, but in tho coun* ' try it is differont, Bakor's orimo was too , odious, and the memory of it is still too fresh among people who do not holdthoir sympathies and antipathies at tho oaprico i of fashion. I hoard a man say lately that F Bakor could not bo put baok into tho army • without a revolution. No doubt ho over* > statod tho strength of tho indignation ; against him, but it must hi very strong
