BUENOS AYRES.

Accounts of October 6th give the answer of General
Congress to the deputation of the House of Repre-
sentatives, which requested him to remain in power.
It is of the old character, but so decided that one would
really conclude the Dictator was becoming exhausted
by tho wear and tear of office. The Governor says :
" Mr. President and Gentlemen,—The Hon. Holise of
Representatives has ♦oted the sending of a distinguished
deputation to me, for the purpose specified by Mr. Pre-
sident. To me it is an honour and a pleasure to receive
it. In replying to the honourable deputation, I shall
confine myself to what is most necessary and substantial.
I regret I cannot acquit myself in a regular form, as,
notwithstanding my most ardent wishes, I have not
been able to devote a single day to this most important
matter.

" The answer in detail given by the representatives to
the message, in which I rendered them a faithful ac-
count of the acts of my administration last year, is so
glorious and so gracious, as to lay me still more under
obligations of the deepest acknowledgment.
"In the midst of this elevated feeling of gratitude, I
regret that 1 cannot adhere to the sentiments and com-
ply with the wishes of the Honourable House of Repre-
sentatives, in regard to my continuance in the Govern-
ment.

"Although it were absolutely necessary, although it
were possible to carry still further the sacrifice of my
principles and of my health, when my heart and my
conscience tell me every instant that I cannot continue to
do good any longer in the station which I occupy, the
representatives can neither compel me, nor inflict a
positive evil on the country by my remaining in office.
" Since it is not possible for General Rosas to dispatch
with promptness the whole of the affairs of most na-
tional moment, nor the numberless ones which, though
of minor importance, form altogether a whole whose
delay is highly injurious and of serious consequences,
public opinion in his favour in the provinces, and in the
Republic, has naturally waned.
" From those considerations, which are felt and are
distinctly perceptible, springs the reason of irresistible
cogency, which imposes on the representatives the impe-
rious duty of naming another citeen, with greater bodily
vigour and force of public opinion, to suweed without
delay General Rosas.
" And it is the refore, and in pursuance of what I have
stated and urged upon the Honourable House of Repre.
sentatives on so many previous occasions, that I now
repeat my former earnest entreaties that it will deign to
relieve me of the supreme command."
The House of It:.presentatives, which was on the
point of adjourning vvheii it received the report of the
deputation, immediately r. solved to prorogue the ses-
sion, and has referred ibis important matter to the
committee on constitutional affairs.

THE HAWORTH FRAUD.—Further investigation
into the accounts of the Rochdale Savings' Bank are
stated to reveal deficiencies to the extent of 100,0001.;
and although various gentlemen have subscribed each
several sums of 1,0002, yat the ultimate losses will
proie enormous. The widow of the late manager has
offered honourably to surrender everything to the
trustees of the bank, however, providing that she is
indemnified for the consequences. According to a
Lee:ls contemporary, hundreds of people do not believe
that the delinquent is dead, regarding the whole as a
deception to Lltad depositors, whilst he escapes with
their money,—Liverpool Courier-

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—The few provincial
papers received to-day contain nothing worth extract-
ing. They abound, however, notwithstanding the
landlords' moans, with notices of coursing matches,
meets of fox-hounds, harriers, steeple and flat racing,
and all those other melancholy assemblages which so
well beseem a ruined and starving landocracy.
The Lord-Lieutenant and suite visited, to-day, the
National Schools, Marlborough-street, at which an
immense number of children are receiving instruction.
There is nothing which reminds one more than this
establishment of the educational institutions of the
Continent ; for in none other in this profoundly
poor, yet proud, country are the distinctions
of rank less marked. In this noble esta-
blishment the child of the poor artizan, if he be but
kept decently clad, may receive a sound education
with the heir of a gentleman ; and it is striking to
see how rapidly the prejudices of rank are wearing
away. The system of education adopted is of the best
and most practical description; and there is an utter ab-
sence of all interference with the creed of the scholars,
who, on stated days, receive religious instruction from
clergymen of their respective creeds. After a long
inspection his Excellency withdrew, expressing him-
self highly pleased with his visit.
TUE CASE OF FFRENCR V. FFRENCR.—This long-
protracted will case, which has excited so deep an
interest, particularly in the west of Ireland, was
decided this day. Chief Justice Blackburne was
nearly five hours charging the jury, who retired at
twenty minutes to four this evening, and after an
absence of about a quarter of an hour, brought in a
verdict for the plaintiff, the Honourable Martin
Ffrench, with sixpence costs. The court was
densely crowded with the friends of both parties, and
great excitement prevailed as to the event. This is
the second time since the opening of term that a jury
has decided in favour of the plaintiff's claim. Pro-
perty in dispute-8001. per annum, and 5,0001. in the
funds.

The day has been warm and gloomy, with one ex-
ceedingly heavy shower at noon. Colds and influenza
are very prevalent, owing to the many variations
of temperature. A " green Christmas"—that
is, a Christmas without snow—has been re-
garded here from time immemorial as inductive of
disease and mortality ; and, to judge from appear-
ances, the prophets of evil may have full play for
their vaticinations, for there will scarcely be a fall of
snow before Tuesday next.
