H.AMBIJItGII MAIL.

(From the Polish Frontiers, March 13.)
The news first spread by the English Journals that
one of the newly erected forts had been captured by the
Circassians needs onfirmation, but if true, is of no im-
portance. for the mountaiaeers may indeed gain some
advantages over their enemies in the winter time, when
the Russian troops are confined to the fortresses, but
they arc not able to retain them. Toe Circassian war
may continue for many years, but its end may easily
be foreseen, since the Russians, whenever they ad-
vance, secure the ground they have gained by erecting
forts. Tnis system is leading slowly but certainly to
the object. A more important piece of news is that
the plague has appeared in some places in Circassia.
If it should spread, it must delay the operations of the
RusFiar s.

HANOVER, MARCH 24.—Unexpected difficulties

longation of the Custom-house union between Hanover,

By the arrivals received from Montreal we learn that the
Bank of Montreal and the Commercial Bank of Kingston, will
lose but a very trifling amount by the failure of their New
York agents, Messrs. Christmas, Livingston and Primi.. An
engagement has been made with the banks by these gentlemen,
by Which nearly twenty shillings in the pound on claims is se-
cured. The elections were proceeding highly favourably to the

Government in Canada, and it is calculated they will have
about 25 majority.

counts from Monte Video, of the 12th of January, confirming

feated.
