COMMERCIAL REPORT.

COLONIAL PRODUCE.-Sugars.-The sugar market, which revived considerably about the middle of last month, is again dull. The stock of British plantation sugar is now 5400 casks less than last year at this time, and the present prices 7s. per cwt. lower, per Gazette average. At the East India House last week nearly 11,000 bags were brought forward to public sale. Bengal brown, sound, sold at 30s. 6d. ; yellow, 33s. to 40s. 6d.; damp, 28s. to 37s.; grey and ordinary white, 38s. to 46s.; damp, 35s. 6d. to 43s. Gd.—Java, in baskets, yellow, 40s. to 41s.; grey and white, 42s. to 478.; damp, 39s. to 45s.; brown, in casks, 22s. to 23s; Benaries good white, 45s. to 49s.; damp, 43s. to 45s. 6d. Cotton. The demand for cotton, particularly Bengals, has been increasing for some weeks, both for export and on speculation; the sales, however, have been limited, since sellers evince great firmness, while buyers are yet unwilling to give more than a trifling advance. The improvement in price cannot be stated at more than d. to d. per lb. Coffee. The demand was very animated about the middle of last month, and prices for some time improved considerably. Within this fortnight the market has been in a very fluctuating and unsettled state, and may be again stated heavy. The stock of West India coffee is now 4030 tons, being 430 more than at this period of last year; present prices 30s. per cwt. lower. Rum.-On the 29th ult. a Government contract for 80,000 gallons caused a small improvement of price, but subsequent extensive arrivals have again depressed the market. Prices are again lower, and little business doing. The present stock of rum is 11,769 puncheons, and price of proofs 2s, 4d. per gallon. Stock last year same date, 14,895 puncheons, and price of proofs 3s. 3d. per gallon. Tobacco. The business done in tobacco in the latter end of last month was considerable, although the prices were without improvement. The demand has again subsided. Oils.-There are no accounts yet received of the success of this year's fishery. The prices of Greenland oil continue to advance. Southern oil is also a shade higher. The arrival of two extensive cargoes of sperm yesterday has had great effect on the market; the price is nearly nominal. Linseed im, proving.

EUROPEAN PRODUCE.-Tallow.-The demand has been rather improving, but without any advance of price. Hemp and Flac continue heavy. The exchange at St Petersburgh has fallen very considerably; by recent accounts it had declined to a fraction under 11d. Brandy in the end of last month experienced an advance in price, on account of unfavourable intelligence as to the vintage. It has again become dull, and lower. Geneva is also lower, and sells heavily at the decline.July 11.

THE LATE HENRY GLASSFORD, ESQ.

Died at No. 4, Shandwick Place, on the 19th May 1819, HENRY GLASS FORD, Esq. of Dougalston. Endowed with a powerful intellect, and distinguished even among the few by his inflexible integrity, and unsullied honour, Mr Glassford seemed born for a public station, and was qualified for a high one. His mind was capacious, firm, and energetic; his understanding clear and collected; he was prompt in decision, and indefatigable in pursuit.

In those situations of a public nature, which his necessary avocations, and particularly his unwearied exertions for the benefit of those with whom he was connected, allowed him to occupy, his services were marked and important. During the most trying periods of national difficulty and alarm, which commenced with the late war, his exertions were conspicuous. He held the situation of a Vice-Lieutenant in Stirlingshire, and commanded a corps of Yeomanry Cavalry, and afterwards of Infantry and Cavalry united, in that county. To the formation and discipline of these corps he devoted his attention and his time, with unremitting energy, training them by his labour, and animating them by his example, and his spirit. He was, besides, a member of the Volunteer Regiment of Light Horse, which was embodied for the public defence in Glasgow, and to his duties in that capacity he paid the same assiduous attention.

Mr Glassford was more than once chosen to represent the County of Dumbarton in Parliament. In the zealous and able discharge of his duties in this and all other

VOL. V.

situations undertaken by him, he was surpassed by none; sacrificing to them all personal considerations of convenience, emolument, and ease. At the time when the numerous body of merchants in this and other parts of the kingdom, who had sustained such losses by the American war, and whose indemnification was left in a great measure unprovided for at the peace, resolved to prefer their claim for compensation, first to Government, and afterwards to the Houses of Parliament, Mr Glassford was one of the small number, three on the former occasion, and two on the latter, who were deputed by the merchants in this city, to conduct the application: and although these claims were, through the opposition given to them, by his majesty's ministers, ultimately thrown out by a very small majority in the House of Commons, a due estimate was made by the whole body of merchants interested, both here and in London, of his important and persevering exertions in the management of their cause.

For the service of the public in Parliament, Mr Glassford was qualified in a very eminent degree by the consistency of his principles and the independence of his views; by his clearness in the arrangement of business, and his accuracy in detail. But even that object of favourite and laudable ambition, disinterested as it was in him, and unconnected with views of personal aggrandisement, the sense of what to him appeared a stronger duty, and a severe regard to the rule of conduct which he had laid down, determined him to forego, and to confine his attention to other objects, and
