memory, great heirs of fame, than that their monu-
ments should be placed in the cities of their birth,
or the places where they have been best known, and
hence it may be considered that this inaugurative
ceremony at Edinburgh was a happy event, worthily
designed and successfully accomplished; and it is to
be trusted that the liberality will long be remem-
bered with gratitude which has presented those
statues to the magistrates and Town Council of
Edinburgh, as the Lord Justice-General truly ob-
s3rved, "in trust, for preservation in all time

corning."

Those who have entertained hopes that the seri- I
ous differences between masters and men which
caused the lock-out would be speedily adjusted
must have found out their mistake by this time. It
is sad indeed to contemplate the prospect that lies
before the infatuated individuals whose perversity
prolongs and sustains the conflict. From the re-
ports of the various meetings, it would seem as if
much had yet to be gone through before any settle-
merit is definitively made. It augurs ill for a speedy
termination, that in some quarters the men are pre-
paring to act as if there was no prospect of the
lock-out being soon terminated. Liberal offers of
help have been made from many quarters to the
men, so that it is idle to expect that want of re-
sources will drive them to surrender in a hurry,
before their wishes have been complied with. The
Earl of LICHFIELD has taken great pains to com-
promise matters as far as possible, and it is earnestly
to be trusted that the praiseworthy efforts of his
lordship may eventually be crowned with success,
but at present not much has resulted. There is no
task more arduous or thankless than the endeavour
to make a neutral ground upon which adverse parties
may meet, and therefore it is the more creditable to
any one who makes the essay. Lord LICHFIELD
has met the masters and men separately, and it is
in contemplation that the men should meet their
own masters in the presence of his lordship, and,
further on, meet other masters if such a step be
deemed desirable. A better proof of the suicidal
nature of this dispute cannot be found than
in the fact that many are emigrating, and
this week some of the most skilful hands will
depart to America. Emigration agents are busy at
work to induce the men to seek employment in other
lands, so that, however the matter be settled, there
can be no doubt that the services of many valuable
workers will be lost to the manufacturers of Eng-
land. Among those men who do not belong to the
Union, there is great distress, and this is shown by
the circumstance that nearly two hundred applicants
appeared at the workhouse to break stones, and
others are waiting for their cases to Ise considered
for relief. It is satisfactory to find that active and
able agents are not wanting to lend their aid in
settling the dispute, and Mr. DOYLE, the Inspector
for the district to the Poor-law Board, is using
every exertion to bring the affair to a settlement,
and is endeavouring to introduce the practice long
successfully tried upon the Continent. One good
sign is, that a severance is contemplated between
the Gateshead Executive and the Brierley-hill
Council in consequence of the refusal of the former
to attend the meeting at York. A check has been
put to American emigration from Newcastle-by the
timely arrival of a letter, from a Durham miner,
sent from Ohio, where the writer has been eight
years. In this he says that it is fallacious to sup-
pose there are so many advantages across the
Atlantic ; there is no medical attendance gratis ;
rent is very dear, and so are coals, with several
other drawbacks. It is said that the effects of the
lock-out are beginning to tell heavily upon the pud-
dlers and mill-men at Middleborough, and doubtless
these are but the forerunners of other cases.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF TIIE CANADA.
(Via Crookhaven.)
The following are the heads of the news brought

by the Canada :
NEW YORK, MARCH 16, 10 P.M.
Goneral Sherman's occupation of Fayetteville,
North Carolina, is confirmed. He has established a
base at Wilmington, and is now moving northward.
General Schofield has occupied Kinston.
Sheridan has effected a wide spread destruction of
the railroads to Lynchburg, and is reported to have I
arrived within 20 miles of Richmond.
President Davis has postponed the adjournment
of Congress, having an important communication to
make.
It is said that the Federal Government will anti-
cipate the payment of the May coupons of the
Five-Twenty bonds.
The cotton captured at Savannah will not be
shipped to Europe. Gold, 165 i.
Sheridan advanced to the fortification of Lynch-
burg, but found them too strong for attack.
General Schofield captured Kinston after a vigor-
ous and prolonged attack.
Bragg burned the bridge at Kinston, and is said
to have destroyed the ram and navy department.
Scouts arrived at Wilmington announce that
Sherman was encamped at Fayetteville, preparing
to march northward. He had encountered but
little resistance, and had fought no battle. The
Confederates at Cheraw retreated after some fight-
ing, leaving 17 guns. The Federal troops live en-
tirely off the country. The Chickamanga was sunk
across the channel of the Cape Fear River, 40 miles
above Wilmington. Boats have left to remove the
obstructions, and open the river communication to
Fayetteville.
A report reached Richmond on Sunday, causing
great alarm, that Sheridan had destroyed the
Beaver Mill aqueduct on the James River, twenty
miles from Richmond, destroying the channel.
It is stated that Sheridan is moving on White
House.
Federal cavalry are raiding west of Richmond, in
the vicinity of the Virginia Central Railway.
Secretary M'Culloch will issue the first half of
the 600 million loan through Jay Cooke in June
next. The notes will resemble in form, denomina-
tion, and the interest they bear, the present seven-
thirties ; and they will have 10 months longer to
run than those notes before being convertible into
gold-bearing five-twenties. The balance of the
loan will probably be a year longer in maturing
than the June issue, and may be the Government
will not require the balance.
Grant reports the receipt of a letter from Sher-
man, dated Fayetteville, the 12th inst., wherein the
latter states that the army was in good condition,
and had met with no serious opposition. Hardee
keeps in his front at a respectful distance. At
Columbia he had destroyed immense arsenals, rail-
road establishments, and 43 cannon. At Cheraw
he found much machinery, war material, 25 cannon,
and 3,600 barrels of powder; and at Fayetteville
he found 20 guns and much other material. The
bearer of the despatches says that, on the 10th inst.,
Hampton, with two brigades, attacked the rear of
Kilpatrick's headquarters and captured all his staff.
Kilpatrick, however, escaped, formed his men, and
drove the enemy back with great loss, and recap-
tured nearly all he had lost. Hampton lost 86 men,
left dead upon the field.
A Government detective arrived at Newbern
states that he had seen the bearer of despatches
from Sherman, who reported that that General was
at Goldsboro.
Gold opened on Monday at 174. A panic pre-
vails in consequence of the receipt of the European
advices by the Africa and the probable shipment of
gold. The closing quotation to-day was 1651.
Money tighter. Exchange on London, 1881.
Stocks dull. Five-twenty Bonds, 1091 ; Illinois,
1071 ; New York Centrals, 105; Erie, 641. Cot-
ton—Middling Upland, 65.
NEW YORK, MARCH 17, 1 A.M.
General Bragg has retreated to Goldsboro'.
The Richmond Despatch, which is now the only
paper published in Richmond, and appeared yester-
day on a half sheet of paper, states that the Govern-
ment employes have been called out by the Governor
for temporary service.
Grant has ordered the suspension of all operations
on all permits, by whomsoever granted, within
Virginia, North and South Carolina, and the por-
tion of Georgia bordering the Atlantic, including
Savannah. This order, it is said, prevents transac-
tions in half a million bales of cotton, and 16,000
barrels of turpentine, and other merchandise.
The statement is reiterated that preparations are
being made to evacuate Richmond. President Davis
has requested Congress to postpone the adjourn-
ment until the 14th inst., as he expected to send a
communication requiring deliberation and action.
President Lincoln has directed that persons en-
gaged in intercourse and trade with the Confederates

by sea, whether citizens or domiciled aliens, shall
be arrested and held prisoners of war until the close
of the war, subject, nevertheless, to prosecution for
offences committed by them as spies or otherwise
against the laws.
Non-resident foreigners found now or hereafter
in the United States who have or shall have been
engaged in violating the blockade, shall leave the
United States within 12 days from now or from
their subsequent arrival, and are not to return dur-
ing the war. All persons disregarding the order
will be arrested, whether possessing passports or
not, and will be detained until the end of the war,
unless previously discharged by the President.
It is denied that the Government will ship to
Europe the cotton captured at Savannah.
President Lincoln has been indisposed, but is now

recovering.
The draft commenced in New York yesterday.
The Peruvian has arrived out.
The Africa reached Halifax to-day.
The Royal mail steamship Canada from Boston
on the 15th, and Halifax on the 17th inst., arrived
at Queenstown at 10.30 a.m. to-day with 21 pas-
sengers and $B,lll in specie. She landed 120 sacks
of mails and four passengers, and proceeded at
10.45 a.m. All well.
The Canada was detained half a day at Halifax
by fog.

(From the Times' Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, March 14.

General Lee reports that the Federals, advancing
on Kinston, North Carolina, were attacked four
miles from that place by General Bragg, on the Bth
inst., and driven back three miles, with the loss of
1,500 prisoners, three cannon, and many killed and
wounded, which were left on the field. The Con-
federate loss was small. General Schofield, who
arrived at the scene of operations on the following
day, reports that Bragg renewed the attack on the
10th, but was repulsed with heavy loss in killed and
wounded, and several hundred were taken prisoners.
He, in turn, declares his loss small, The Confede-

rate prisoners assert that heavy reinforcements from
Johnston were hastening to join Bragg.
Schofield expected Couch, who was but 12 miles
distant, to join him that night.
In despatches dated Newbern, the 12th inst.,
Schofield states that on the night of the 10th Bragg
retired to strong entrenchments on the north bank
of the Neuse River.
General Lee notifies to the Confederate War De-
partment that General Wade Hampton attacked
General Kilpatrick, without mentioning at what
place, on the 10th, and drove him from his encamp-
ment, capturing his cannon, horses, trains, several
hundred prisoners, and recapturing many Confede-
rate prisoners. The Federal loss in killed and
wounded was heavy; that of the Confederates
slight.
Mr. Stanton telegraphs that ho has received de-
spatches from Sherman dated Laurel-hill, North
Carolina, of the Bth inst., which state that he is
progressing well, but, for prudential reasons, omits
giving details.
Richmond papers publish a correspondence be-
tween Sherman and Wade Hampton, in which the
former declares he will shoot a Confederate soldier
for every one of his men killed while foraging ; and
the latter replies, that for every Confederate so
executed he will retaliate by shooting two Federal
officers.

General Sheridan, in a despatch to General
Grant, dated Columbia, Virginia, reports the pro-
gress of his expedition up to the 10th inst. He al-
ludes to a previous despatch, announcing his occu-
pation of Waynesborough, and the defeat of Early.
by Custer, which has not been published. From
Waynesborough he proceeded to Charlotteville,
sending out detachments which destroyed bridges
and portions of the railways to within 20 miles of
Lynchburg, thence to Scottsville, and destroying
the locks and cutting the banks of the James River
Canal, letting in the full current of the river, and
tearing up the railway along its banks. All mills,
factories, and bridges on the line of march were
destroyed. Commodore Hollins, of the Confede-
rate navy, was reported killed while attempting to
escape capture. Sheridan adds, that he met with
no opposition after the conflict with Early, and
found food and forage in abundance.
Mobile despatches of the 28th ult., to the Rich-
mond papers, state that 28 Federal steamers and
transports had entered the bay, and landed large
numbers of troops upon Dauphin's Island. An early
attack upon that city was expected.
R. C. Kennedy, charged with participation in the
attempt to burn the New York Hotel last autumn,
has been convicted by a court-martial as a spy and
incendiary, and sentenced to be hanged.
The Tribune announces, from Washington, that
many Federal officers, whose terms of service have
expired, have proceeded to Mexico and accepted
command in the republican army.
