FROM THE EAST.

The Eastern mail of yesterday morning brings a little
additional intelligence. The resolve authorizing Governor
Fairfield to withdraw his troops as soon as he shall be satis-
fied that Sir John Harvey has abandoned all idea of occu-
pying the disputed territory with a military force, has
passed the Senate of Maine by a vote of 16 to 1. Tuesday
afternoon had been assigned for its consideration in the
House.

General Scott and suite were still at Augusta. No late
communications were known to have passed beeween Go-
vernor Fairfield and Sir John Harvey.

BANGOR, MARCH 18.—Our force have now reached
Jarvis' Camp, and are busily employed in erecting their
fort and block houses for their accommodation. The fort
is laid out so as to cover about six acres. They have five
brass artillery pieces mounted, and two iron 12. pounders
are now about to be removed from Castine, to be planted
upon the fort. The main portion is on the south side of
the Aroostock, at the bend of the river. There is an
eminence directly opposite to it on the other side of the
river, which is also being occupied and fortified. It is
only 18 miles from this port to where the St. John crosses
the line. As soon as the road can be opened so as to
reach this place conveniently with supplies, our force will
move up and take possession of the John.

UPPER CANADA.
The provincial Parliament has been for some days in
Session, and several spirited discussions have taken place
in reference to the condition of things in this country.
The Attorney-General has given his solemn legal opin-
ion that the United States were liable, and that indemnifi-
cation could be lawfully demanded.
These debates were continued through several days.
Mr. Robinsion offered an amendment, ascribing the treu.
bles of the colony, in part, to the incapacity of Lord Glen-
elg ; and in the course of his speech declared that Sir
Francis Head bad been the means of saving Upper Canada.
This remark called forth a din of words, some members
shouting " Hear, hear," and others "No, no, no." The
amendment was lost.

Great numbers of petitions are before the Legislature,
praying compensation for injuries sustained, property de-
stroyed, &c., during the rebellion and other troubles.

LOWER CANADA.

The Montreal Papers contain reports of the proceedings
before the Court-martial. Several more prisoner.) had
been convicted.

NOVA SCOTIA.
We have received the Yarmouth Herald of the lath
inst. The ship of war Crocodile arrived at Shelburne on
the Bth, for the purpose of conveying to St. John the de-
tachment of the 69th regiment, which had been landed
there from the disabled transport Elizabeth.
The whole regiment will proceed to ti-e frontier on their
arriva! from St. John, and will be followed by other troops
from Halifax. The 69th has its full complement of 600
men ; having been recently strengthened by a large draught
from England, and appears to be a fine body of men.

NEW BRUNSWICK.
By way of Quebec we have a report that a British
settler had been fired at and wounded by an American
sentinel, on the Aroostook.

The whole number' of British regulars under marching
orders for the frontier is 3,000.

MONEY MARKET, &c., Alithell 25.—The Stock transac-
tions on Saturday were again large, but on nearly every
description sold there was a reduction on the rates of Fri-
day. The decline upon the prices of the pievious day
was as follows :—United States Bank, per cent. ;
Dry Dock Bank, 1 ; Bank of Commerce, ; Dela-
ware and Hudson Canal Company, 3 ; Kentucky
Bank, 1 ; North American Trust and Banking Com-
pany, 4 ; Mohawk Railroad, 2 ; Stonington Railroad. I ;
and Haarlem Railroad, 3 per cent. The canna for so
great a change in so many descriptions of shares in one
day, and that without the receipt of any very important
public intelligence from any quarter, must arise chiefly
from 4‘ panic," the great maker of evils. It is true, how-
ever, that the banks of our city have. within the past month
or so, curtailed !heir loans to a very largo amount. and
which of course had had its influence upon the price of
stocks, as upon all other business matters, and which may
account for a part of the decline that has taken place in
them.

MARCII 26.
There was still "a further decline in stocks yesterday.
The sales were quite extensive, especially Delaware and
Hudson Canal, Vicksburg Bank and Haorlem Railroad
shares ; and the only improvement that occurred on Satur-
day's rates was in Vicksburg Bank shares, which advanced
about 3 per cent. on the prices obtained at the second
board on that day. The following are the most important
reductions that took place :—United States Bank, 1 per
cent. ; Farmer's Trust Co., 1 ; Ohio Life7and Trust Co.,
11; Delaware and Hudson Canal, 21-; Kentucky Bank,
1 ; Mohiwk Railroad, 1; Paterson Railroad, 1 ; Haarlem
Railroad, 1 ; and Stonington Railroad, per per cent.
