Mr.. P. Benjamin.. @. c., the eX-Con.
federate Secretary OF State, furnishes strlk-
ingly exceptional instance Of an American
breaking through the social and professional
conservatism which excludes Americans
from the liberal professions in England. He
landed in the country where he is natural
lied almost destitute Of clothing and money.
But few practicing barristers can boast SO
large an income as he now enjoys, his fee in
the Franconia case amounting to Sc, ESQ
gold. Mr. Benjamin entirely ignores every
allusion to the southern rebellion, and bis
success is due to legal knowledge and power
in pleading, without any adventitious aids.

mANCHEsTER NEWS.

The greatest item Of excitement in Man
chester last evening was the holding OF Q
.pow-wow by the followers Of Hayes and
Wheeler in the courthouse lot. 1t might
have proved more successful affair but for
the fact that it had been insinuated by some
,of his enemies that Ball-md-C Chain Por-
ter" had gotten up the meeting to further
his chances for the Republican nomination
for Congress in the ensuing campaign.
What he wants this for is a mystery, as ne
could never be elected In this district, and
Hayes and Wheeler show signs of sunstfokc
every day more perceptibly. They will sue
cumb before the warm weather is over.

j. C,.utchfe!d presiding.-William Cook,
steward on board the schooner William 81.
Phare, now in the dock, was charged with
desertion. The evidence showed that Cook,
who felt aggrieved at the treatment received
at the hands of the captain, went ashore for
the purpose of getting warrant for his ar
rest, and while at Justice Changers he was
arrested. During the trial Cook stated that
he was too sick to discharge the usual duties,
and while lying in his bunk the captain
made him get up. Afterwards the captain
pulled his mattress out Of the bunk, cut it
'opep, and drew out the straw in search OF
his watch, which ne (the captain) charged
him with stealing.
This is the watch which Paul Berry, the
water-tramp, now lying in jail, is charged
with stealing.
Cook was discharged by the acting Police
Justice. AS soon as he was discharged ne
went on board the schooner, and, taking MS
kduds, left.
The captain at once sued out seconc

ATTEMPTED SUICIDEs.-A painful rumor
was circulated about the streets last eve
ming to the effect that Captain George w.
Williams, we'll known as clerk to the Senate
Judiciary Committee, had committed sui
eide. His many friends were greatly
alarmed and seriously concerned, and many
were the inquiries made as to the source
and cause of the rumor. The facts, as near
as could be gathered, were these: Yesterday
afternoon Captain Williams went to MI.
Robert Woods drugstore, on Second street,
and asked for on ounce of laudanum Tor
sick child. 1t was given him, and when ne
got home he showed his wife the empty vial
and told her that he had taken all OF it. She
raised an alarm Immediately. Policeman
Hulce and others were called in and doc
tor sent for. DR.. Macgill arrived, and, after
some resistance from Captain Williams,
forced an emetic into him, which saved
his life. He was walked about vigorously
and necessarily, and at a late hour last night
he was out Of danger and doing well. His
act Is attributed to mental depression.
Maurice Griffin, the well-known grocer OF
Second street, is reported to have attempted
to drown himself yesterday morning In the
Chickaheminy. He jumped overheard, ana
was rescued by two eolored men. This ID
regarded by most of Maurice's friends as
one OF his jokes.
