Baker Pasha.
Baker Pasha arrived m London on the evening of May 12. The Charing-cross platform and courtyard of the station- were thronged with spectators, by whom the gallant officer was greeted with a most enthusiastic reception. As soon as the train stopped a number of officers and other personal friends pressed forward to welcome him. He appealed m excellent health, but wore a shade over his wounded eye. With some difficulty a passage was made through the cheering crowd, and upon reaching the court-yard, where a carriage was m waiting, a cry was raised to remove the horses, but: this demand was not acceded to. Continuous cheers were raised by the bystanders, and a large number of soldiers and sailors m uniform, as well as many ladies, were among the most demonstrative m their expressions of greeting. As the carnage, containing General Baker, Mrs Baker, and their friends, drove out ,«f the station yard a' final volley of cheers was given, many amongst the crowd waving their hats as the gallant,officer bowed his acknowledge- ■ ment of the reception.
