THAMES POLICE.

Yesterday, Captain Via appeared to an information
filed against him, for not having a pilot on board, to conduct the
brig Ceres.
Richard Ross, a pilot, produced his Trinity-house license, and
stated, that on the 9th instant he boarded the brig Ceres, and asked
for the pilot. The defendant said, be had put him ashore at Black-
wan. The witneis then produced Isis license, and offered his set.-
vices to conduct the vessel, which the defendant refused. 11:c ves-
sel was lying off Deptford, under weigh. She. came from Leghorn.
In reply, the defendant admitted that what had been stated was
true, but he bad understood that the owner and Captain had a
right to conduct hie own vessel : he was put owner, and Captain
of the Ceres.
The Magistrate said, the Act of Parliament subjected the de-
fendant to a penalty of 501. and not less than 201. therefore, as the
lease was pressed against them for a conviction, he was adjudged to
pay the mitigated penalty of 201.
The defendant then signified his intention to appeal, as he wished
to have the question tried.

Monday, James Hampton otherwise !Smith, convicted
at the late...Aylesbury Sessions,-for obtaining money un-
der false pretences of Mr. Sidengham, of Clewer, stud
Thomas Galls's!, convicted of stealing several atticles,
the property of his master, John Carr. at Newport
Fag-
nell, were removed to Woolwich, on board the Justitia
hulk, pursuant to their sentences of transportation for
seven years.
Thursday last, two little boys, belonging to Calton,
went to the Clyde, at Peat Bog, for the purpose of draw-
ing shinties opt of the water. One of them over-reached
himself, and suddenly disappeared in the current. His
little companion, who was sitting on the bank, obseir.
in he did not re-appear, cried with great simplicity,
"Jamie, you'll better come out, and no hide yourser
them* bukhe never again rose above the water. The
boy then began 40 weep, and ran home and told the
parents,- that" Jamie was hiding himself, and wadna
come hame." The distracted father dreading what had
!rappelled, hagettiid to the spot, and learned the dread-
ful truth from some persons who had witnessed the ac-
cident ; but as the child never re-appeared after it fell
into the river, no assistance could be rendered. Search
was made for the body, but nothing but the bonnet has
as yet been found. The child's mother was on the bank
while the search was making, and was in a very dis-
tressed situation.
It is said that in Scotland about 2,500,900 acres of
land are usually in pasture and hay, and only about
1440,000 acres in wheat. This is surely a great pro-
portion of animal food to a small portion of wheaten
bread. Suppose the former returns ail annual
rental of 1,5000,0001. and that of the latter bring
280,0001. a year, it would surely be beueficial to thf
landed, manufacturing, and commercial interests of
Scotland, to import foreign grain, in order to create a
demand for a part of the animal food which is now set)
to England. To permit free trade in corn is the sur it
mode of settling the differences between the Glasgow
operative manufacturers and their employers. The cotton
manufactures of Scotland are valued at 7,000,0001. a
year. Whether is cotton or wheat of greater importance?
