Thomas Bareion, a young man of respectable exterior, was
charged before Mr. Bingham, under the following circum-
stancezt

A policeman of the N division stated that he was on duty at
Hackney on the preceding night, when the prisoner acco•ted
him, saying, that he had been accused cf committing a rob-
bery, and wished the matter to be investigated, in order that
he might clear his character. '1 he: prisoner continued talking
in the same incoherent attain for some time, and as he insisted
on being introduced to a Alagistrate, witness conveyed him to
the station-house.

Inspector• Barton, of the G division, said that the prisoner
called a few days ago at the station .house in Featherstone-
street, and stated that he was suspected of haring committed a
robbery at the house of Mr. Foxalt, a publican in Museum-
street, Bloomsbury, aid lie wished to meet the charge. A
me,senger was dispatched to Museum-stre‘ t, who ascertained
that Mr. Foxall had really been robbed, but not the slightest
suspicion attached to the prisoner, whose father was a man of
the highest respectabiay, residing in the neighbourhood.
Mr. BiNcitAm.—Then there is no charge against him?--
The Inspector.—None whatever, Sir; he is labouring under a
delusion.
'the Magistrate asked the prisoner if he wished to say any-
thing. Prisoner—O, no, I hare nothing to say.
I he Magistrate.—You are discin

urged.
THAMES I'OLICE.
Yesterday a number of Lascars appeared before Mr. Hal-
iantine, to make a complAnt against Captain Scott, of the
Lail of Clare, East lmitaman, for not complying witn the
terms of an agreement entered into at Bombay, where the
]shears were engaged. A series of complaints have of late
bren made against Captain Scott, by Chinamen and Lascars,
when the Magistrates ordered inquiries to be made into the
matter, the result of which has been that the Chinamen were
settled with.

It appeared, from the statement of the complainants, that
they were engaged at Bombay to go to China, and back to
Bombay. There were altogethi r6O Lascars, and :;0 Europeans.
On arriving at China the Europeans left the ship, and
a number of Chinamen were engaged to supply their places.
They were to receive from six to eight dollars per month, and,
according to the custom of the country, should have had six
• months' advance of pay when first engaged. The Captain,
however, persuaded them that the money was no use to them
there, and gave them two months', with a promise of the re-
mainder when the ship should arrive in China. There they
received two months' more antance, but instead of returning
to Bombay the ship pro, eded on to England, and the crew
agreed to come with her upon the Captain promising to give
them all their pay on their arrival in London. When they
arrived at the Cape thirty of the Lascars left the ship, on ac-
count of the Captain supplying them with rice and water only.
The ship had been in London now upwards of two months, and
they had received but. one mouth's advance, instead of five
months', to which they were entitled, and to obtain which they
now sought the assistance of the Magistrates.
.._

Mr. BALLANTINE said that the men were not in reality en-
titled to any pay until the voyage was completed. He knew
it was the custom to advance money to the crew, and he had
understood frnai Captain Scott himself that they would be
paid that advance on reaching Gravesend on their way back.
The principal of the Lasears said when they arrived at
Gravesend the money would be of no use to them, ai they
wanted to purchase warm clothing, none of them having any
fit to go to sea in. Besides, the Captain had ordered them to
leave the ship, and they were willing to do so, and go back by
some other, provided he would pay them. They had no wish to
remain with the ship, for they had been treated no better than
slaves.

Mr. BALLA NTINE said the Captain dared not discharge
them from the vessel, as he was bound by law to take them
back to Bombay. He would cause inquiries to be made into
the particulars of their claims, and they might depend upon
having erery farthing they were entitled to. The owner of
the ship and the agents were of the highest respectability,
and he was sure there would be no difficulty in getting that
which was right.

The poor 'fellows left the office apparently much pleacd at
the promise of the Magistrate.

THE LATE 11 RICAN E— Loss OF LIFE. The
violent storm which raged on Wednesday and Thursday nights
has been attended with more disastrous consequences than any
that has taken place for several years. On the Essex, Kent,
Sussex, and Hampshire coasts, the number of wrecks and loss
of life has been very great. In the river, also, a number of
vessels were driven on shore, and ins me instances have become
total wreck:. Several sailing barges plying from the lower
parts of Essex and Kent were swamped by the violence of the
gale, and, in one instance, we regret to say, ha• been attendod
with loss of life. The barge belonging to Mr. Fletcher, of
Poplar, called The Friend*, was proceeding down the river,
and when outside of llaynham-creek was obliged to
drop her anchor to keep her off the shore. This was hardly
Ilected whets the water beat completely over her, and she filled
and went down. She had three men on board, t wdof whom clung
to the rigging, and were ultimately saved ; but the third roo!"
fellow, named William Wilson, who was a-Jeep in the cabin
je
at
the time, perished. The crews of two other barges,irm
be-
longing to Mr. Toppin, of Brentford, the other to Acii-
es But-
terfield, of Milford-lane, Strand, had very narroolyw etas p
losing their lives. Both of the vessels sunkre
they'
remained
creek, and the men got into the rigging
them.whe They were at
for several hours, the spray beating over
_from the shore. Almost
ength rescued by ropes being thrown,ewr
d was more or less
every vessel that came into the riverdlositheir masts and rigging,
damaged, and in some cases had
voyage have been obligedynm-
and many that had started
on
to put back.
