The Lobster.

1t appears to those interested, that strong
effort will be made during this session of the
legislature, to pass u Law for the protection
Of Holsters on the coast Of Maine, and that
one of the proposed measures, is to prevent
canning, for term of years. 1t is also ap-
parent to those interested, that this move is
instigated by lobster capitalists of New York
and Massachusetts, who have expended their
money in building dams across our creeks
and coves along the coast of Maine, for the
reception of HOLSTERS which they are busted
in buying throughout the entire year. Legions
of Holsters are thus Gagged yearly.
Our factories put up nothing but small lob
sters; never is a seed lobster canned; but
no discrimination is used in regard to those
that are pounded. HOLSTERS of every descrip-
ton are found there.
All persons who have any knowledge OF
this fish, know that every propsgating lobster
has millions of seeds adhering to it, hence
the necessity of its preservation. In addition
to those Gagged. very many are sent direct to
markets out of the State, at any season they
may elect. These Holsters average the buy
ers from two 10 three cents each, and they
tfrom these great resources) are already en-
abled to control the market price, as they can
at will thrust millions on the market or keep
them out. Every intelligent man must see
that this system is robhing, not only the
poor fisherman, but the consumer. Now our
factories furnish labor to many hundreds OF
men. women and children. who would be
thrown out Of employment, by this proposed
change in the lobster law.
1t is asserted that johnson & Young Of

one can form some estimate Of the immens.
numbers of fishes. deposited in these re
sources, that are established at intervals along
our entire coast. We have one already. and
IL Is rumored that others are to be established
here, during the coming season.
1t seems to me imperative, that some law
ehould be passed, ~ith so heavy penalty at
tached that it would effectually prevent the
taking of Holsters from the coast, for any
purpose. after close time for the factories.
which in my opinion should be the Let Of
July. to continue closed till the middle of
November. I sincerely hope that something
may be done to prevent the Wholesale slaush-
ter Of thu fish, by rich corporations out of
the State. Ii nothing is done to arrest it. We
shall have similar experience to thst Of IN.
porgy. Nv readers will recollect that only
few years ago, porgy fishing furnished a liv-
ing to thousands of our people, when New
York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts,, with
their steamers, swept them so entirely from
our waters, that the porgy has become thing
Of the past.
Now, gentlemen of the legislature, We, the
fishermen of Maine beseech, that you will not
allow New York or Massachusetts corpora
tions, to make our laws for us.

Wanderings of Abner I. BenyOn, the
Indicted President of the Pacific
Bank.
Boston Jan 26.

BosToN, Jan 26.
The Journal will print in the morning,
with the history of the wanderings of Abner
l. Benyon, the indicted president of the Pa
cific National Bank of this city, the announce
ment that he is living in Canada, near
Montreal. Benyon disappeared from Bos-
ton the first of September last, going to New
York, where he stayed until he learned that
a warrant for his arrest was about to be
issued, when he went to Niagara, Ont, stop
ping several weeks, during which time his
wife Joined him. His next move was to St.
GATHERINGS, Ont thence he started for Mex
leo and spent several weeks in small viii
lage near the City of Mexico. About the
middle of December he arrived in Montreal
These facts were obtained through the action
of certain dissatisfied stockholders who, anx-
ious to get at the state of the banks affairs
and learn upon whom the real responsibility
of the banks ruin should rest, employed
Stephen X. Phillips, ex attorney general of
this State, to ferret out the facts. General
Butler, who was Benyon's counsel, admitted
Phillips as associate counsel in Benyon's
case, and Phillips was thus enabled to obtain
knowledge of Benyon's whereabouts and
visited him at his present stopping place in
Canada, and procured from him documen-
tay evidence against other implicated persons.
Benyon says he was but tool and cats paw !;
that he has no doubt of his ability to fully
vindicate himself, and will come back when
everything is in readiness. and said he saw
no reason why he should not "start another
bank" The real charges contained in the
indictment against him, and which have never
been published, are the acceptance of seven
bills of exchange on Canada banks, made BY
James Gamble of New York. to the total
amount of S45 900, without the authority of
the directors and with intent to defraud to
the bank. These are the first seven counts
The eighth and last count charges him with
embezzlement of $4,000 of the banks funds

The Cimbria Disaster.

LONDON, Jan. &c.
The crew of the Wilson Line steamer
Argo, which arr ved at Hull. states that the
night before the collision between steamers
Cimbria and Sultan. they passed while on a
voyage from London to Bremen large mail
steamer. They first perceived through the
fog her masthead and green lights on the
port bow. She was coming at an angle
toward them. They Immediately starboard-
ed their helm and passed clear. They all de-
clared she was the Cimbria and that she was
not sounding her whistles. This occurred
three hours before the collision. Another
captain of Wilson Line steamer declares
the chief engineer of the Sultan told him he
was not on duty at the time of the collision.
He was on deck in the after part of the yes
sci an hour and a half afterwards and he
heard no cries. Every person on the Sultan
believed that the Cimbria had steamed away.
