THE SITUATION. The battles near Averysboro and Bentonsville,.North Carolina, ou the 15th, 16th, 19th, 20th and 2ist insts., between portions of Sherman's army and General John- Bton’s rebels, which were boasted of in the Rich- mond papers as “great Confederate victories,” are shown by ¢ie full details from the Heraup cor- Tespondents published im our columns this morn- on the contrary most In both engagements the rebels, after severe fchting, were driven from strong positions. ™mg to have been dis. astrous to the enemy. Tho battle at Bentonsville was particularly severe. The rebels for a while fought stubbornly, at the commencement they succeeded in forcing back the Union line a considerable distance. Generals Johnston, Bragg and Hardee were all onthe field, and prisoners were captured from every rebel corps known to be in the South and West, which shows that a strong concentration had beon made to overwhelm this portion army. One entire rebel regiment—the Twenty-sixth Tennessee—was captured. On the night of the 2st the rebels treated, and were pursued to Smithfield. Gene- Jol Sherman’s lines are now across the rai!road run- Bing from Goldsboro to Raleigh, and about ten miles and of ¢herman’s trest of the former place. Having now formed a junc. tion with Ychotleld’s and Terry's columns, he is prepared “not only for any attack which Johnston may choose to make, but to continue the pursuit of the latter towards Raleigh, as soon as his troops can be properly refitted. ‘The severe engag ments of the Army of the Potomac with Lee's rebel army on last Saturday are further eluci- dated by the additional Hevauo despatches which wo publish this morning.

The National Steam Navigation Company's steamship Virginia, Captain Grace, which left Liverpool at Jen o'clock on the morning of the 14th and Queenstown on the 15th of March, arrived at this port yesterday evening. Her news has been anticipated. The vessels of this com- pany are announced to run weekly between Liverpool and New York on and after the 25th of March, ‘The international exhibition, at Dublin, Ireland, will be opened by the Prince of Wales on the 9th of May.” Orders have been received for drafting to be resumed in a portion of the city to-day, and in the Tenth ward, F.fth district, and Tweuty-second ward, Ninth district, the wheels will be put in motipn this forenoon, unless, which is not anticipated, some counter direction should be received, A commencement will also be made of re- quiring those whose names have already been drawn to report for service. Notwithstanding plenty of men were offering to volunteer yesterday, only thirty-three were enlisted at all the provost marshal’s offices in the city, because there was not money on hand to pay the bounty to more, Tho bill necessary to legalize the apportion- ment of the State bounty fund money among the various counties passed the Legislature yesterday, and hopes are indulged that the money will be received in time to arrest the draft in at least a portion, if not the whole, of the city. A meeting to concert measures for uniformity in the amount of hand money to be paid in all the wards is to be held to-night at the provost marshal’s office in Sixth avenue, near Thirteenth street. Hon, Robert J. Walker publishes a communication in which he denies that his recent visit to Canada had any- thing to do with a project for annexing that province to the United States, as recontly charged in a Montreal pa- per, He acknowledges that he isin favor of such an- nexation, but never without tho full consent of Great Britain, as well as the people of Canada themselves. So far from his having been supplied with funds to forward the scheme, and having had conferences on the subject with the Governor General and the Canadian ministry; ho says that he is not even acquainted with Lord Monck or | the closing price was 162%. any member of his Cabinet. He pronounces the whole story merely another effort of Canadian secessionists to embroil this country with England. In the Supreme Court, circuit, before Judge Mullen, Mrs. Mary Texide received a verdict for twenty-five hun- dred dollars damages, In consequence of injuries received by being thrown violently on the street while stepping from a Second avenue car, the vehicle being started be- fore she had secured her footing on the pavement. Judge Mullen also had before him yesterday, in the Supreme Court, circuit, the case of Willian H. Faller vs. Edmund Gillebrand, wherein the plaintiff sued to recover twelve hundred and sixty-five dollars, the value of a government bond left with the defendant for safe keep- ing, but which he used as collateral security in the pur- chase of railroad stock. The speculation proved a fail- ure, and the defendant alleged that the bond had been appropriated to the purpose by the consent of the plain- tion. A wonderful chan,re in the tone of the British press and in the debates of the British Parlia- ment has been brought about within the last few months in reference to American affairs, The leading English journals have discovered that their much vaunted Southern confederacy is a failure; that it is vulnerable at every point; that, exhausted of its military reserves, it may be pénotrated and overrun in any direction; that, whether now resolving to abolish or to maintain slavery, it is a “house divided against itself, and cannot stand;” that the end ap- proaches, and that there is reason to fear that the terrible armed legions of the Union may pour over a resistless tide of invasion into Canada. The perfidious neutrality of England in this war is suggestive of a fearful settlement; and the guilty parties of the press, Parliament and Cabinet, in their alarm, have dropped their bravado, their mockery and insolence, and are beginning to whine and cringe and put in their feeble excuses, We are resiored, in British opinion, to the dignity of a recognized Power among the na- tions;we have become a great and magnani- mous people; we are no longer a mob-governed rabble of Goths and Vandals. President Lin- coln’s administration has shown every disposi- tion of peace and friendship towards England. He is a President statesman, and the great mass of the American yeomgury of the North are likewise sagacious and conservative, Let us be thankful for these latter-day British compli- ments, and let us forget the Alabama in the flattering recognition by the Edinburg Review of Grant and Sherman as the equals in the strategy and tactics of war to Napoleon and Wellington. Very consoling, indeed, was the general drift of the debate in her Majesty’s House of Com- mons on the 13th inst. Mr. W. Fitzgerald was apprehensive of a war with the United States, and thought it important to look to the defence of Canada. Mr. W. Forster believed such fears utterly groundless. The suspicion arose from the efforts of two classes—“one consisting of Confederate agents and sympathizers, the other of disappointed prophets.” Good for Mr. Forster. But Mr. Disraeli particularly dis- tinguished himself on this occasion. He, had no complaints to make against the government of the United States. On the contrary, he was free to say “ that under circumstances of almost unprecedented difficulty that government had conducted itself with great energy and discre- tion. (Hear, hear.)” He had a good opinion tiff, and insisted that the latter shoufd bear half the loss, ‘The jury, however, rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. In the Court of "General Sessions yesterday Eliza Ploss was convicted of grand larceny, having on the 25th of January found a pocketbook containing two hundred and seventy dollars, in an Eighth avenue car, owned by Mrs. Mary E, Anthony, There was a receipt in tho book which indicated who owned it, which, with other suspi- cious circumstances, showed that the prisoner (who was a young girl) had the intent to appropriate the money to her own use, Judgo Russel remanded her for sentence. Edward Morris was tried and convicted of stealing money ‘and Jewelry valued at two hundred dollars, owned by Mrs. Newman, froma drawer in the house 22 Eldridge street, The jury having recommended him to mercy, the Judge said he would impose a light sentence, consid- ering his previous reputation, which was two years in the State Prison. Lawrence Sheridan pleaded guilty to arson in the fourth degree, having on the 6th inst. fired a stable adjoining the Home for Destitute,Catholic Children in Eighty-sixth street, for the purpose of releasing a boy named Wm. Mykins, an inmate of the institution. Ho was sent to the Penitentiary for three years. Six small boys who were associated with Sheridan wero discharged, the Judge intimating that if they pursued a course of crime they would probably end their career on the gal- lows. General Grant, in reply to an invitation to be present at the Northwestern Sanitary Fair, to be held at Chicago in May next, says that, while the enterprise has his warm- est sympathies, his duties in connection with the opera- tions now in progress to render these humane efforts un- necessary will not allow him to promise bis attendance. Jacob Little, he famous banker and broker, and a few years ago oné* of the leading men of Wall street, died yesterday, at his residence im Union equare, aged sixty- seven years, Will:am Jones, alias Jack Sheppard, arresttd one day last week on charge of burglary and theft, yesterday attempted to commit suicide his cell in the Tombs by severing two of the arteries in his leftarm. When dis- covery of bis attempt was made he was very weak from loss of blood; but the arm was bound up and his design frustrated, The stock market was steady but dull at the first board yesterday. Subsequently it broke, and prices declined heavily. Governments were firm. Gold was steady, and closed down town at 153%." At the evening board ‘The tone of tho market yesterday was generally buoy- ant, and, despite the imminence of a great battle, which is expected to decide the fate of the rebellion, holders of merchandise evinced more confidence in the future than foralong time. The general impression now is that the fall of Richmond is discounted, and that its capture would not have a very marked effect on gold quotations after all, Foreign goods were firm, while domest'c pro- duce was generally higher. On ‘Chango the flour market was dull, and prices are declining Wheat was moro active and steady. Corn was dull acd lower, while oats wore firm but quiet. The pork market was decidedly firmer, with an increased demand, Beef was in active request, while lard was firmor. Whiskey advanced 1c. a 2o., with a moderate inquiry. Freights were dull, but rates were higher. The market for beef enttle was just about the samo this week as last. The expectation of large receipts was disappointed, some of the roads having brought in none since the freshet, and of course tho supply was again verf light, while prices were very high, ranging from $14 to $27 per 100 Ibs. Cows were steady at from $40 to $100 a $129, as to quality. Veuls were steady at 10¢ a 160, Sheep and lambs were active at some advance over last week, ranging from $8 to $150 $18. Hoge wero plenty, dull and lower, Sales at 12c. a 13%c. Reset Srmit Ooztwa Ovr.—It fs said that while General Gordon was leading on the rebel troops at the attack on Fort Steedman on Saturday he was constantly rebuking them for their cowardice, and finally exclaimed, with a vehement oath, “Just as I thought; the men won't fight;” after which he left the Geld. The opinion of the rebel gameral was fully borne out by the number of prisoners who surren- dered on that occasion, which also confirms all that we have been hearing for a long time past, that the rebel soldiers were tired of the war, that “they won’t fight,” notwithstanding the bluster of the rebel papers in Kichmond and New York. Canava anv Muxico.—France and England are in @ bother about us, the one eupposifig that we want Canada; the other that wo want Mexico. Both aro mistaken, We have in cur own limits, and quite undeveloped, better countries than Mexico or Canada, and we don’t want either, But what we do want, and shall in due time insist upon, is that those countries shal! have systems of government so consistent with and congenial to our own that they will when, after amevdmont, the bill was advanced toa third | not be our natural enemies, and that they shall reading.

They were not to be judged by the “rowdy rhetoric of certain jour- nals.” They were not “made up of the scum of turbulent cities” and stock jobbers. They were “a territorial democracy.” They would recognize a sufficient task before them in the reorganization of the government. At thesame time her Majesty’s advisers had been very in- consistent in their declarations during this war—one day leading the public to expect “a diplomatic recognition of the Southern States,” and shortly afterwards asserting that they “did not recognize a single element of political inde- pendence in the South.” From these hints it is evident that Mr. Disraeli could work up this subject into a romantic story, exceeding in its interesting situations his “Wondrous Tale of Alroy.” John Bright, that fearless representative of the British masses, administered some whole- some truths to her Majesty’s government touching its unfriendly course towards the United States in this struggle. He thonght, however, that as the United States had no de- sire of making war upon Canada, and that as neither Canada nor England desired it, the Fenian Brotherhood would hardly be, able to bring it about. As for American mobs, he broadly hinted to Lord Palmerston that “the real mob in your sense {s that party of chival- rous gentlemen in the South who have received, Iam sorry to say, co much sympathy from some persons in this country and in this House.” Lord Palmerston closed the debate as the very prince of peace. However belligerent he may have been heretofore, he is now a very good specimen of a Queker gun. His govern- ment from the beginning had sought to avoid giving offence to the United States. There was “no jealousy in England of the United States.” Not a particle; nor would England give any just cause of complaint. Canada, however, ought to be prepared for defence, and defended if necessary. But not upon this matter, nor upon any other, was there any reai ground for a quarrel between the two countries. He had “no complaint to make against the United States.” “The present relations between the two conntries were perfectly friendly and satis- factory ” Is not this a charming picture? Could we desire anything more? But in all this discus- sion the real ground of England's sympathy with the rebellion, and her real dangers from its suppression, were not even hinted at. With the success of our war of independence the republican ideas of Ahe United States kin- dled the fires of the first French revolution, put down the Bourbons, exterminated the ancient aristocracy, set up the republic of “Liberty, Equality and Frateraity.” and shook the continent of Europe for twenty years as with the throes of a mighty earthquake. The same republican elements still exist, from the Seino to the Danube. They have also taken root in England. With the success of this war there will be a conflict between her laboring masses and her feudal aristocracy, as well us another upheaval of the revolutionary forces of the continent, which may work the most aston- ishing changes. This is the danger which me- naces the Brilish aristocracy, and this is the secret of their new professions of peace and good will towards the United States. Their labors of thirty years to break up this country and its popular institutions have failed. They foresee the consequences, and they cry peace! Toe Dest or tan Crry—Tar Dost or Acrs.—We recewe freqnent communications from half-choked and half-blinded citizens complaining of the simooms of dust that whirl through the streets, destroying goods and furniture and filing the eyes, ears, mouths and nostrils of every one who ventures out of doors. We are very much afraid, however, that there is no help for it, The Croton Water Commissioners are evidently Bourbons, who never learn anything, although they deal in water, but sometimes very sparingly.

Send in the papers, GorrsonaLK’s Coxcrrt in Brooxtry.—While fashion attracts large audiences to the Opera, it is only music aud the love thereof which can bring a good house, such as the Academy of Music in Brooklyn saw last night. OF course it was not quite as full as on opera nights, but it was very fashionable, critical and appreciative. Gotis chalk played suporbly—better, we think, than on the previous evening, His ollo from the Ballo in Maschera, with Sanderson, was as brilliant a piece of execution as we have ever heard from him. The Haust was ® gem, and was played with great delicacy in the opening pas sages, which was only equalled by the immense skill manifested inthe finale. Miss Lucy Simons exhibited with great effect the fine cultivation Which careful stuyly has imparted to a voice rich, delicate and ang er handsome presence quite won upon the Brooklyn people, ‘and she was received with every mark of favor and ~~ probation. Those artists, whose success in their farewell concerts has been very marked, will perform agaia to- night, in Niblo's Saloon, when an entirely new pro. gramme will be introduced, which includes the time Gottschajk's grand fantasia on the “ Batile Cry of Freedom.” FUNERAL ov 4 Prima Donna.—The last mail from San- tiago de Cuba states that tho funeral of the prima donne Virginia Whiting-Lorini, who died Intely ip that city of hemorrhage, after only fourteen hours’ !liness, took place with due solemaity in she Cathedral of St. Jago.

A gross outrage has been perpetrated on officers wounded In the fight on Saturday, who have since come to Washington, They are charged seven dollars for passage, # dollar and a half for a berth, and a dollar for each meal; and it is said that some officers who were badly wounded were left on the wharf at City Point be cause they had no money to pay their{are onthe mai} boat, a government transport. This rule should not be enforced against officers wounded in battle, at least. ARRIVAL OF CAPTURED REBEL OFFICERS.

Their application is now under con- sideration at the War departmeat, To grant their appii- cation ,will require tho rescinding of the order now in force on that subject. THR REBEL SOLDIERS HAVE NO HEART FOR FIGHTING. The unanimous testimony of officers who have arrived here to-day, and who were in the fight on Saturday last in front of Petersburg, 1s, that the rebel soldiers do not fight with any heart or zeal, but, dn the contrary, when outside of their earthworks, are evidently more intent om being captured than using their arms, They surrender by companies and regiments on the first suspicion of being flanked, and, in short, the fight is entirely taken outof them. After their capture a large number of the prisoners requested permiasion to take the oath, so that they need not be subjected to an exchange. The revela- tion of the feelings and dispositions of the soldiers of his pet army must have convinced General Le», if nothing else would, of the hopelessness of further efforts to sus tain tho rebel cause, CAPTAIN FOX ON A ORUISE.
