According to the latest news received | in London, Baker Pasha has been come| pletely defeated by the tribes under | control of the False Prophet. Two thousand of his men have been killed or | wounded, and he himself is reported to have taken refage on an English gun-| boat lying at a point on the shore of the| Red Sea, whither he and the remnant! of his retreated. The fight which ended inthis desaster appears, | from the account of the last few days, to have taken place while he was pro- ceeding to the relief of Tokar, a fortifi- ed but city fifty miles distant from Suakim. The immediate result of Baker Pasha’s defeat.the account: of which seems tu be authentic, will probably be the surren- | der to the Mahdi and his followers of the garrisons of a number of towns situated at vari Suakim, and | which bave tor some menths figured in the accour ts from the Soudao as being in greater or less extremities. Its other consequences will be of far greater im- | rOrces sorely beleaguered some us distances trom portance, and will serve to present anear view of several contingences| which, when presented recently in a! letter to the Sun from a well informed! correspondent in Constantinople, had | the appearance of being mach more re-| mote. The gloomy foreboding of Gen, Ger-| don, uttered before he had any idea of | acceptiog his present perilous mission te | Kbartenm,aod when the news had reach- | ed him of the destruction of Gen. Hicks and his army, have been accurately ful-| filled. Knowing more about the Sou-| dan than any other European, and hav- ing an influence and a prestige with its | wild tribes only surpassed by the power | of the Mahdi himeelf,his opinions had a| significanee which is now only too fully | apparent. The defeat and massacre of) an Evyptian army commanded by British officers was a fatal blow to British prestege among a people who} were only too quick to ascribe to it the| proportions of the annihilation of an en-| tire British army. Gen. Gordon point- ed out that the expedition was hopeless, that Gen. Hicks’ handful of an army would be powerless against the fanatical hordes flocking to the standard of ibe Mahdi, and that a disaster to British supremacy was invitable. No lesson appears to have been learned from either the warning or the catastrophe, and the commission given to Baker Pasha can have been but an expedient to gain time until the English Cabinet should decide whether to assume the full responsibil- ity of the situation in the Soudan or to retire in favour of the Porte, and, while deliberating, await the chance of a favourable turn in affairs ensuing from the extraordinary mission undertaken by Gen. Gordon. Ail caleulations are upset by the summary defeat of the second army of the Soudan, an event which greatly en- dungers Gen. Gordon and practically nullifies any efforts he might make to conciliate the tribes and arrange for the withdrawal under proper condi- tions of the Khedival authority from the interior. The impression that it will produce with thirty millions of Moslem subjects who own allegiance to Great Britain is of the utmost impor- tance, and if the Mahdi should ever cross the line which divides a rebel from a conqueror, and aspire to the sacred Caliphate ofthe Mecca, which is the hereditary and traditional right of the family to which he belongs, or t> which he claims to belong, he will represent the Pan-arabic or Pan-islamic move- ment, the success of which would in- volve the extinction ofthe Ottoman empire and a general remodelling of the affairs of mankind, so faras English interests in Asia are concerned. Whatever bethe solution of the singular movement of which he is the head, and of which history presents many counterparts tor instructive con- sideration, the present state of affairs is of the gravest importance to the Eoglish Government. The shortsightedness and folly of the Egyptian policy ean no longer be in any way disguised. In the present humiliating position of the Government, it beeomes apparent to all observers that the sacrifice of a patriot like Arb:, che Egyptian, and the sup- “pression Of a great popular effort on the part of an oppresed -people to gain its freedom—all because ot the selfish in- terests of a handful of British owners of Egyptian bonds—was a fatal error. It had been wiser to have let Arabi have his way. He headed a movement which those who know best. identify with that now controlled by the Mahdi. Had Arabi succeeded,England couldhave made her own terms with him, and her supremacy inthe East would have ree mained unimpaired. With what in terest must not that unhappy hero. of an unlucky cause watch the career of the powerful fanatic who had followed him. and who threatens the peace of a continent as if he were another Alaric ? —New York Sun. ———>-2-—=——___- On Friday last, Dr. Thorndike, assist- ed by the house surgeons at the City llospital, pertormed an operation upon Edward L, Waite, whe had a cancer in his mouth. The caneer was so advanced that death must have ensued ina short time. The surgeons took away the lower jaw and tougue,removed the floor | ofthe mouth. The disease was then en. | tirely cut out, and they proeeeded to establish artificial organs, which thus far have performed the necessary service satisfactorily.
