The successful results of the great expedition of Sir Samuel Baker into Central Africa, chief among which is the conquest of an extensive territory hitherto the paradise of African slav-.“ traders, to say nothing of important geographical discoveries, have been briefly stated in recent cable dispatch es. A special telegram to the New York Herald from Khartoum, the junction of the Blue and White Niles, via Alexandria, Egypt, July (ith, gives the following account of the expedi tion, with a condensed history of Ba ker’s four years’ experience as Gov ernor General of Central Africa: RETURN OF THE EXPEDITION. I hasten to communicate to you facts of the highest importance and interest in connection with the expedition of Sir Samuel Baker, who has reached this place from the lake regions and the far South. On Sunday, the 29th of June, the English Pacha, as Baker is called, arrived at Khartoum, ac companied by Lady Baker, his neph ew, Lieutenant Baker, and seven Eng lish engineers, besides his personal at tendants. They had traveled hither from Gondokoto, using one of the steamers which had been taken up country for the navigation of the lakes, and occupying a period of thirty-two days for the journey. Baker lias accomplished even more than was expected of him. He has penetrated as far southward as Mo- sindi, which is a point near the head villages of the chiefs Kabri and Kam- rasi. On reaching this place the Pacha found that the ivory and slave traders had spread all kinds of evil rumors about the expedition, inflam ing the native tribes against it. Ka- briki lmd been informed by them that Baker Pacha was coming at the head of an Egyptian army, to take forcible possession of his country and annex to Egypt, with the view of exacting heavy taxes and tributes and carrying away the people. It was accordingly agreed between the traders and the negro chiefs to MURDER BAKER, if possible, and by every means to prevent the progress of the Egyptian soldiers. Shortly alter the arrival of the Pacha with a portion of his troops at Mosindi, lvabriki, following an African custom, sent Un jars of pombe —a beverage resembling beer—to the strangers. This liquor wns heavily CIIAROED WITH and all the soldiers who partook of it were suddenly seized with frightful symptoms and soon fell to the earth insensible and apparently lifeless. By administering strong antidotes the poison was neutralized in every case, and no lives were lost. Baker then dispatched some of his officers as messengers to demand why that poison beer had been sent into the camp; but as soon as they entered the negro village, Knbriki ordered them to be killed, and they were all immedia tely MURDERED IX COLD BLOOD. War was then proclaimed, the chief beating bis great drums and ordering a levy of ten thousand warriors. A large body o ( these attacked the I’ncha, who had only a hundred odd Egyptian troops with him. These men were all greatly fatigued with their longjourney into the interior, and soiuo of them were suffering from tho poisoned drink. Baker was therefore compelled to beat a retreat before the swarms of enemies assailing him, and be retired after burning bis camp and heavy baggage. During seven days of great danger and and hardship the backward march o( the Egyptians was sorely harrassed, and as many as thirty men were left dead on the route. At the end of this perilous week the English Pacha came to the province of Rewinka, a chief hostile to Kabrik, and welcome assist ance was then obtained. The needed, Baker commenced systemat ically to organize the districts which were in Ais possession. He made Fatiko t'e chief town of the new terri tory, aid appointed superintendents at the idfier stations. Before long the natives settled down wonderfully well under the new government, and ap peared exceedingly satisfied with the s»fety and quiet which it afforded, l’lie light tribute exacted of a basket of bread and a bundle of grass per month for each but was paid with alacrity and regularity’; and where Sir Samuel went finally northward, hav ing established the reinforcements sent him along the annexed region, the ne groes at Fatiko gave him the most vociferous farewells, calling him “fath er” and “master,” aud looking upon him as THIR FUTURE PROTECTOR. The term of the contract eigned by Sir Samuel Baker and hv the English engineers with the Khedive had now expired, and having made all arrangements the Pacha embarked at Gondokoro in one of the steamers brought up country by the expedition. Another vessel of the same model has been successfully carried as far as Gondokoro, and as soon as camel tran sportation can lie obtained it may be taken to the lakes and sent afloat there. The third of THE THREE IRON VESSELS, sent up in pieces with the same object lies yet at Khartoum, the difficulties of transport having proved extremely great. Next to Fatiko the chief station of the new territory 7 will be Gondokoro. Baker has marked out eight more spots as principal spots, and these will con stitute a chain leading from Nubia to the Albert Nyanza. One thousand additional troops have been ordered down to complete the garrison of these stations. Thus mu ch for the political portion of the tidings brought by the gallant Pacha. I have further A MOST IMPORTANT GEORGR.VPHICAL DISCOVERY to communicate—one which cannot fail, I think, to astound many scien tific men in England. It is declared as an ascertained tact by the returning party that Lake Tanganikaand Albert Nyanza are proved to be one and the same water. The length of this mag nificentinland sea, thus for the first time known to mankind, is not less than seven hundred miles, and it is announced as positive that a vessel can bo Iaunccd above Murchison's Falls, at the head of the Nyanza, and sail nv.ay to Ujiji, or lower, through ten — — or jaiiiuue. _ Ills LADY AND SUITE were all in excellent health when they arrived; and they leave us to-day by the Berber country for Souakin, to which port the Egyptian government is dispatching a special steamer, which will bring them up the Red Sea to Suez. No losses have occurred of late among the Europeans from sickness, except that of Mr. Higginbotham, the chief engineer. I send yon this intelli gence direct from the lips of the eman cipator of Central Africa. Glass Bonnets—The Latest Novelty fob Ladies.—Whatever may be said of the aim or result of the Vienna Exposition, it has certainly been the means of bringing together the choicest products of the world, and of giving the people of various nations new ideas concerning matters of which they have never before thought. In no direction has a wider range been given than in the manufacture of glass, and new forms, designs and uses of this material arc now presented to the world for the first time. Conspicuous among these is a lady’s bonnet or head dress, which, for elegance and beauty, cannot be excelled. The idea of a glass hat is certainly novel, and many objec tions might be made to it on account of the fragile material, but in reabty 7 tbe glass is much stronger and more durable than the delicate materials now in use for the same purpose. These articles, as may be imagined, come from Bohemia, and they have al ready gained a fnir share of popu'arity. Specimens have been sent to Paris and London, and that we should not be behind hand in so important a matter, an enterprisnig firm in this country imported quite a number, and will immediately begin their manufacture, to be ready for the fall season. These hats are of the most delicate and beautiful design, and such is their adaptability to all costumes and occa sions that they will probably soon come to universal use. The body ol their hat is made of loose pieces of the fine glass, fastened closely together bv a gutta-percha band, which allows it to conform to the head. Inside there is a lining of silk, which is the only piece of fabric used in the manufacture. The trimmings on the outside are after the prevailing mode, consisting of wreaths, flowers, feathers and ribbons all made of delicately spun glass of wonderful bounty. Qf course all the trimmings have their natural colors, and by a patent process the glassy appearance is so well subdued that the material is not suipoctid. The most beautiful humming birds and flowers are used far ornamentation, an 1 c ilored so nationly that iu u;ip?arn ::s they are superior to the usual artifk THE SECRET OP A WIFE’S POWER. Nothing is more-beautiful than the be lief Of the faithful wife that her husband lias all the talents, and could, if he would, be distinguished in any walk in life; and. nothing will be more beautiful—un less this is this is a very dry time for signs—than the husband’s*belief that his wife is capable of taking charge of any of the. afluirs of this confused planet. There is up woman but thinks that her husband, the green-grocer, could write poetry if he hack give his mind to it, or else, she thinks small beer poetry in com parison with an occupation or accom plishment purely vegetable. It is touch ing to see the look ot* pride with which the wife turns to her husband lrom any more brilliant personal presence or display- Of.-wit than his, in the perfect confidence' that if the world knew there wqpid be one more popuhtt - idol. How she magnifies his small wit, and dotes upon lUo self satisfied look in his face as.if it .were a sign of wisdom. Wlntt a cpuqsel or that wan would, make!

Mrs. Corporal dpes not envy the reputation of Gen. Sheridan^ she knows very well who really won Five Forks, for she has heard the story a hundred times, and will .hear it a hundred times more with apparently unabated interest. What a general her husbanU would have made; and how his talking talent could shine in Congress! Herbert—Nonsense. There isn’t a wife in the world who has not taken the ex act measure of her bnsband, weighed him in her own mind, and knows him as well as if she had ordered him alter de signs and specifications of her own. That knowledge, however, she ordina rily keeps to herself, and she enters into a league with 'her husband, which he was never admitted to the secret of, to impose upon the world. In nine ont of ten cases he more than half believes that he is wbat his wife tells him lie is. At any rate she maneges him as easily ns the keeper does the elephant, with only bamboo wand and u sharp spike in the end. Usually she flatters him. but she has the means ot pricking clear through the hide on occasion. It is the great se cret of her power to have him thiuk that she thoroughly believes in him. NEW MEXICAN MERMAID. A delicate hut sell-satisfied youth of great Gothnn recently found himselt in one ot our New Mexican coaches.

Their cost is insignificant, and as it is un<lr-stood several well-known firms are going into the buisness extensively, they may soon be expected upon our streets. It is probable, however, they will not be readily known, as the resemblance to the genuine mcterials is so great.

Pieces of lead are frequently with a view to punish Kabrik, it was arranged that Rewinka should supply two thousand armed men, and that these with thirty picked Egyptian soldiers, should return towards Mo sindi and do their best to take and KILL THE TREACHEROUS NEGRO- Baker promised that if this expe dition was successful Rewinka should be appointed Governor of his own and Kabriki’s district in the name or the Viceroy of Egypt. With the remain der of his foree the Pacha returned towards Fatiko, but on reaching a place called Lazarlta (?) he and his men were unexpectedly fired upon from the houses of the slave-traders there. Thirty of Baker’s soldiers were thus slain; the remainder entrenched themselves till assistance could be obtained, and then issued from their entrenchment to attack the traders, who held a strong position in dense thickets of reeds. THE ATTACK was very successful; the reed beds were taken by storm, nnd 140 of jibe slavers’party were slain, many priso ners being also captured, while the remainder fled inland. The captives, in explanation of the attack made upon Sir Samuel’s command, said that the orders of tbeir masters and of the chiefs friendly to them were to kill “the Nazarone,” (meaning Bakers,) wher ever and whenever they could. They all confirmed this declaration, which was drawn up from their own mouths, signed and sealed by each, and then forwarded to the government of Sou dan, at Khartoum, as a documentary proof of the malignancy of these slave- bunting merchants.
