EXECUTIONS IN THE ISLE OF MAN.-011
Monday se'onight THOMAS SIDDLETON, aged 44, and
JAMES MOORE, aged 37, both of Peel, convicted at the
last general gaol delivery, held at Castletown, of a violent
assault, with intent to murder 'WILLIAM KINLEY, Esq.,
and of robbing him of a considerable sum of money, un-
derwent the extreme penalty of the law at Castletown.
Atrocious crimes, and consequent capital punishments, are
very rare in the Isle of Man.
The removal of the Foot Guards from the
outside of Drury-lane Theatre, where they have Item sta-
tioned from time immemorial during the performances,
has caused some curious topics of conversation. Economy
is the only motive which has induced Captain PotHILL
to take this step ; and it is stated that dispensing with the
attendance of the soldiers will effect a saving to the pro-
prietor of the house of 301. per week.
Several Dutch vessels have been stopped at
Marseilles and Bordeaux. This is the first act of hostility.

The French Government have increased the
amount of their invading army from 45,000 men to
60,000, which, it is believed, on military authority, ren-
ders the speedy capture of Antwerp quite secure. In-
deed, if we may trust the evidence of history, they will
find no great difficulty in the undertaking, for in 1796 a
French army, under the command of Comte de CLER..
mon', took the citadel of Antwerp in six days.—Times.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS. •
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

The Markets this afternoon are in a nominal state, on
account of the uncertainty of peace or war. This day "a
very numerous meeting of merchants, shipowners, anti
traders took place at the City of London Tavern, to op-
pose, by petition and every legal means, the projected hos-
tilities against Holland.
SUGAR.—The Sugar Market remained very languid
last week, and rather lower prices were submitted to, but
at the close of the Market on Friday there was more firm-
ness, and the prices rallied and could not be purchasscl at
any lower rates than at the commencement of the week.
The Raw Market is very heavy this afternoon, the sales
are e►timated at 700 hhds. and trs. The stock of 'West
India Sugar is now 39,318 hhds. and trs., which is
11,271 legs than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is 62,764 bags, being 36,188 less than last
year. The delivery of West India Sugar is
2,918 hhds. and tierces, being 126 more than last
year. The delivery of Mauritius 4,644 bags, being 1,094
less than the corresponding week of 1831. In the Refined
Market there was no alteration last week, but the holders
evinced more firmness, on account of the reduced stock of
goods, particularly of the lower descriptions. The Refined
Market this afternoon is still heavy.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.—In East India Sugars there are
no transactions.

MAURITIUS SUGARS.—The public sales of Mauritius,
went off with briskness last week ; soft brown sold at 495.,
brown dry 50s. 61 a 51s. 6d., yellow 535. 6d. a 565.
This day by public sale 6,270 bags of Mauritius Sugar, all
sold at full prices.

FOREIGN SUGAR.—At public sale last week about
1,800 boxes Havannah were offered; all the sound were
bought in. The only inquiry for Foreign Sugar at pre-
sent is for brown Brazil and yellow Havannah, and the
buyers will only purchase where parcels offer at low
rates, and the holders are not inclined to submit to any
further reduction in the currency. For white Foreign
Sugars there is no demand ; the damaged white at the
late public sale found buyers at prices Is. lower, 245. a
275. Average price of Sugar 1/. Bs. 4-3-d. per cwt.
COFFEE.—The new purchases of Coffee made last week
were at prices a shade lower, Ceylon at 50s. ; mid. St.
Domingo, 525. 6d. a 535. ; good ord. Havannah even
535. 6d. a 575. ; good ord. Brazil was withdrawn from
public sale at 51s. 6d., no offers. The ord. and unclean
British Plantation descriptions sold rather lower, 655. a
705., the other qualities were heavy, and generally the
market had a very unfavourable appearance, but we think
there is now a greater disposition evinced to buy Coffee,
but only where parcels offer at low rates ; the holders are
not generally anxious to sell in the present languid state of
trade, and few public sales are advertised. This day by
public sale 20 bales 65 bags of Mocha Coffee, all bought
in. The British Plantation was all taken in, but we be-
lieve some part was taken after the sale at market prices.
Rom, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Since the Govern •1
went Contract was taken .for Rum last week, about
Is. 91d., there have been few purchases ; the prices are
without alteration, proof Leewards ls. lOil. ; 10 to 12
over, 2s. a 2s. Id. In Brandy or Geneva there is no
material alteration.

TALLOW.-Tallow is in a very uncertain state, on ac-
count of the political crisis.

INDico.—There is no alteration in prices ; there ap-
pears to be rather more demand for the home trade.

COTTON.—The Cotton Market is steady in price, but
theru is little business doing.
Otis.—Fish this are heavy, and a shade lower than
last week. Rape Oil steady. Linseed Oil has advanced ;
large sales made for all deliveries up to March next for
home trade and exportation ; the advance on it does not
keep pace with the rise in Linseed, which has advanced
upwards of ss. per quarter during the last eight days, fine
Seed to arrive having been sold at 48s. per quarter, and
50s. now asking; for ordinary on the spot 445. has been
paid, which will not produce Oil at present rates.
TURPENTlNE.—Turpentine is on the advance, 2,000
barrels in this week, and taken by the trade at or about
I spirits arp_nr..... in
ina'
mil Pd_
Fiturr.—The importers lowered their prices for fruit
last week ; the consequence has been a most extensive de-
mand ; the price of new pulled Turkey Figs was reduced
to 525., Valentia Raisins at 425. ; old Zante Currants
sold at 665., new at 635., new Patras 725.

SrlcEs.---There is little alteration in Spices, good Pi-
mento sd.

SALTPETRE.—SaItpetre is held to-day for much higher
prices, 375. a 395.
EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SALE, THIS DAY.-612 tons

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. ►3.

THE 'HULL DOCK COMPANY V. THE AYR AND CALDEI
NAVIGATION COMPANY.

This was an action under the Act of the Kingston-
upon-Hull Dock Company, to recover certain duties
on vessels belonging to the Ayr and Calder Navi-
gation Company, trading between the port of Hull
and the port of Gool.
By the Hull Dock Act, the plaintiffs were en-
titled to levy a duty of 2d. per ton on vessels trad-
ing to and from the port of Hull, on the east coast
of England, between the parallels passing through
:Yarmouth on the south, and Holy Island on the
-north, and on vessels trading to and from Hull by-
tweeh that port and any other port or plale not
.specified in the Act, a duty of 6d. per ton. Gool,
-which was situate higher up the Humber, about the
junction of the Trent and Ouse, had within these
few years been made a port, and the Hull Dock
Company then claimed the dues.—Judgment fat
the plaintiffs.

(PRICE 7g.)

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 13

Ann Dawson was opposed by Mr. Comm, for
\lr, Walker and for a Mr. MasquerirtO, and by Mary
Williams and Thomas O'Hara in person. She wt s
supported by Mr. WOODROFTE.
The insolvent had kept boarding-houses in vari-
ous parts of the town. Her creditor, Mr. Walker,
claimed against her on a warrant-of•attorney, for
.5191., given for two years' rent of a house in
Queen-street, Westminster. He had taken out
execution on the warrant, and followed her furniture
to Chelsea, whither it had been removed, but did
riot get possession of it, as it was claimed by a per-
son named Bingley, who it was shows' in evidence
had been formerly a smuggler, but was now a parish
pauper. The Sheriff had returned " nulla bona"
to the execution, and Mr. 'Walker had in conse-
quence brought an action against him, which had
not yet been tried. The Learned Counsel a•-
tempted to show from several letters, and a very
long examination, that there had been no considers .
don for the warrant of attorney,- but it was clearly
shown that there had been the consideration stated
and that Mr. Walker had been a great loser by his
connexion with Mrs. Dawson.
Mrs. Williams was stated in the schedule to be
a debtor to Mrs. Dawson for 1001. and upwards,
but in her deposition she proved that she ought to
4ilclown as a creditor kr°s6?,
Mr. O'Hara ciatmeu as a - •
-a I
exchange; he had not been mentioned in the
schedule.

It came out in the course of the case that an at-
tempt had been made to make Mrs. Dawson a bank-
rupt, by a person named Hanse, but the commission
had been superseded.
Mr. Masquerino clearly proved himself a creditor,
and a great loser by his connexion with Mrs. Daw-
son ; she had rented a house in Hereford-street of
him, for which he received no rent. In the schedule
his claim had not been stated.

This case occupied the Court the whole day, and
from Mr. Masquerino's evidence it appeared that
Mrs. Dawson had obtained on one occasion 801.
worth of plate of Stall and Mortimer on credit, and
pawned it for 48/. the same day, and that a piano-
forte obtained from a Mr. Stump, valued at 621,
had also found its way a few days afterwards to the
pawnbroker's.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS observed, there were
so many omissions in the schedule, that it was his
duty to order it to be dismissed, and it was dismissed
accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

A broker,, named Swain, was summoned before
the LORD MAYOR yesterday by a poor man, named
Bixby, under the following circumstances :
Bigby stated that his landlord seized Silk goods
upon a warrant of distress for rent, and employed
the defendant to complete the job. Mr. Swain not
only took the bed and blankets, but stripped the
rootu of every little necessary, leaving nothing be-
hind him but bare walls. -1 he debt amounted to
2/. 13a. 6d., but the goods were sold to such dread-
ful disadvantage that they fetched little or nothing.
The misery of his condition was aggravated by the
dying state of his wife, and the clamorous necessi-
ties of his three children. He, however, was aware
that the law placed needy people entirely at the
mercy of the brokers, who were known to abuse
their power most cruelly, and he was obliged to bear
the infl'ctign. The broker had, in the list of the
articles which he seized, omitted to enter .50 or 60,
and he (complainant) hoped the Lord Mayor would
make him responsible.
The broker bad not exceeded his duty; the goods
had been regularly sold by auction.
The LORD MAYOR said that the conduct of
brokers to the poor was in almost every instance
abominable. His Lordship asked the broker whether
he was justified in omitting to insert all the articles
seized in his list ?

The broker might have left out a few small arti-
cles which were not worth notice, but the bulk of
the property had been given.
The LORD MAYOR-Why did you take what was
not worth notice ? A man of your habits must
know well that the smallest matter is worth notice
to a poor man. The broker—l treated him as
kindly as I could, and I left the children's clothes
with him.

The LORD MAYOR—Is it possible that you did
so humane an act ? How charitahle It was in you
not to strip them naked 1
Bigby—My Lord, he even seized three little
birds which belonged to the children, and would
have sold them if it had not been for a person who
put down more than they were worth. He knew
well that all my clothes were in pledge, but my po-
verty rather increased the temptation to harass me
than otherwise.

The LORD MAYOR—I perceive that the brokn's
list has omitted a great variety of things, and
amongst others, a bed and bolster and blankets.
But
.I suppose these things were not worth notice
it this season and to a dying woman.
The broker—There was no bed that I saw.

Bigby—My Lord, will you give me leave to
swear to the correctness of the list I have put into
your hands. I'll take my oath there is not an
atom that he has not seized and sold immediately
for little or nothing.
The broker—They were sold at the regular sale,
and you have an account of what they fetched.
The LORD MAYOR—Unfortunately 1 can do
nothing in this case but advise the broker to return
you those things which he has not entered in his
list, and express my abhorrence of such oppression
as your landlord has committed with this man's
hands.

The broker could give no other account than he
had already made, and that the landlord would wil-
lingly forgive the complainant his debt, and make
him a present of 10s., if he would take hisimme-
diate departure.

The broker then quitted the justice-room without
giving the pour man any hopes of the restoration of
any part of his property. Even an old pair of
gloves, a snuffer dish, and a small ball of worsted
were amongst the articles seized.
Mr. Hobler told the Lord Mayor that the corn-
plaints made to him against brokers were very nu-
merous, and the circumstances often truly heart-
rending.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF BIGA3IY.—A well-
looking woman, named Mary Anne Ellis, was
brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with
bigamy. A great deal of laughter was excited by
the anxiety of both husbands to get rid of the lady.
A sergeant of marines, named Cotterell, after a
moderate courtship prevailed upon the prisoaer to
marry him in the year 1825. Being of a roving
disposition, the lady took it into her head to go off
