MONK THUE INWARDNESS AS TO COL. DAKER'S CASE, Quiciunati Commercial, LoxpoX, Aug, 14.—There aro some ciroum- etances in Col Baker's oaso which do not nrpnl! in the English pross, but which shouid Le atatod. The Court was sorioualy involved. Tho Dakers have long beon intimate with tho Royal tamily, and when Bir Samuel Baker married tho woman who hsd besn for some time his tross, after his divorce fro: wife atill living, the Queen rolazed her striotnoss, snd re- ceived the now Lady Baker and her husband st court. (And there “wero, it is said, proper Tessona for hor course.) The Miss Dickenson iuvolvod bolongs to family of high position and wealth, who bave rosided at Mid- burut eince the death of its former occupant, the Iate Richinrd Cobden. The wealth of tha family —Miss Dickenson having £32.000 a yoar in her ow right, and olaimiug no pocuniary damsgos— rendored & charge of au attempt on her part to extort moaey oat of the questian, Thenextthing was to suggost that she had beon guilty of lovity with him smouting to tomptation ; but the de- meanor of the youog lady waa such as to admon- “ah the Colonel’s counsol that any such dofouse Would recoil on the defendant. ~ Aud now tho Colouel called to his aid the most powerful aid, Thoinfluence of Mariborough Houso was brought 1o boar on the young lady and her family to induco them not to prosocute. Bub the girl, who ia only 19, resisiod all these intluonces. Finally tho same influences wore brought (o boar on the Judge—8ir Ballol Breft, who ro- ceived his soat on the bench in payment for services to the party—and bo g L3 chiargo to the jury jn socordanoe with the princely intorest in tiie affair. Under that charge tho jury had to aoquit Col. Uaker of iutendiug rape, and convicied him ooly of an indecent as- saalt. ‘The Judge then softened the matter to tho utmost. Ia sentenced the prisoner to pay & flue of £600 (s mere nothing to him) and to be held as a first-class misdemoanant, without hard 1abor, for ono year. The Judge, however, weat too far In his morcifulness. This awakened » deep rosentuent in the > populse wund, 1t wax plain that it was intendod that Baker should re- tain hia commission in the army. Turee Ga- zetles made their apposrauce, and in mone of them was thero any tnention of Baker's dinmissal, Thew the publio bocama determined. Thore is an Article of War which runs ss follows: ¢ Any officer who shall belave in & scsudulous men- uer, unbecoming tho character of an ofliver and » gontlewan, uball, on conviction thereof, befora a eral court-martial, be cashlered." Col, Court-jart At cards. Bo long a8 Col, Bakor's mamo ro- mained on tho Army List it was tantamount to an adminsion that the Duke of Cambriige ro- garded an abominablo assault on A woman as touch lons of an offonso than chosting at cards and not at all inconsistent with conduct becom: ing an officer and s gentioman. Popular indig- nation wus much increascd by the dikcovery of the kind of treatment awarded to tho sneto- cratic _prisonor, Aod o demand for the Colonsl's military degradation bo- came no general that hin fricvds wivined him to remign, Mo did o, But tbe peoplo wern now faitly ronsed. Thay felt that it was with princely prineiplen they wero contend- ing, and they would not have tho matter so ended. The Royal Nighnenscs had to yield, Col. Bakor'n resignation wax ignorod, and Iast night's Gazette contained the following: * Half-pay Lieut.-Col. and Drevet-Col. Valen- tine Eakor. alf-pav, Iato Touth Iinesars, haa been retoved from the army, Iler Majesty bav- fug no further oscanion for fia sorsicon, . Datod 2d of Auguez, 1475." Tho dating of shis order sleven days back, as 12 it_had been imauad jtt after the sentonce of the Court, ia an amasiug little fiction which do- ceives nolody hero. I am glad to ray thero in R0od reanon to halieve that Lue matter was ultle wately decided by the Queen. P kit SAN DOMINGO. INTERNAL TLOUBLES, New Yonr, Aug. 81.—From the statomsnt of the Capiain and pasacngors of A atesmnr which artived hero yenterday from Port au latte, Aug. 21, and advices brought to the Domlnican Con- sul, it appoars that thie report previouly pube lished frowm Havaua, Cuba, to tho effect that a uc- ceseful rovolution had occurred in S8an Domingo in favor of Baez, is greally oxagrerated.
