The dispute between the Bishop and the Free
Masons of Buenos Ayres still in progress when
the Seneca left, and the principal subject of
public attention. The Commercial Times says that
so far the war has been chiefly confined to the pa
pers, and thus no serious consequences have en-
sued but the occasion of the Inauguration of
the Pauper Asylum, on the 18th of October, the
usual Ecclesiastical benedction was refused, al
though it is manifesty an institution of great pub
lie utility, account of the idea having been
originated by Masons, and the committee of man
agement being composed of members of this So

kept exploring the desert; in many places recent
tracks of war parties had been discovered, but
yet no inroad had been perpetrated, and from the

Green d Co., were to introduce number of steam
launches to supply the place of the lighters at pres

would result Vessels would be thus enabled to
discharge their entire cargoes in four five days,
and the endless delays and disputes about de-
murrage which constantly arose from the old sys-
TEN would cease
