Bravery of the Rebels.
London, January 22.
An official telegram from Lord Wolseley states that on Saturday last the British column, under Col. Stewart, inflicted a complete defeat ou 10,000 Mahdites, who were occupying a poaition at the Abukela Wellg, between Gakdul aud Meteuiueh. Col. Steviart, leaving the baggage and camels at the camp, advanced in a square, the whole force being on foot. He outflanked the enemy, who charged bravely under a withering fire, and succeeded in penetrating the left of the square. The British were admirably steady, and main* tamed a' hand-to-hand fight with the rebels, who were at length driven off completely defeated.
