BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—We understand that,
in addition to the other distinguished scientific men already
noticed, who will honour Glasgow with a visit during the
sitting's of the Association, we m.ly now expect Professor
Muthies of Amsterdam ; Professor Bishop of Bonn, who
has published valuable inquiries into the internal heat of
the earth ; and Dr. Jacobi from St. Petersburg, Some
very interesting articles arc being brought forward for ex-
hibitioa in the model room, not the least of which is the
model of the steam engine operated upon by James Watt,
when his great discovery was made.—Glasgow Argus.

SUGAR.-In the British Plantation Sugar market there
has not been much activity since last Tuesday, still a fair
demand has existed both for brown and yellow descrip-
tions ; 1,150 hhds and tierces have been disposed of, and
the prices paid were 6d higher ; fine yellow Jamaica was
sold at 88s, and good 87s per cwt. Several vessels have
arrived during the past week, still the stock is not half
of what it was at this time in 1839, and the difference
in the importations this as compared with that of last year
even exceeds that quantity.-The weekly deliveries have
again been less than they were in 1839-this is not to be
wondered at, considering that prices rule more than a hun-
dred per cent. above those two years ago. The reduced
stocks held by the trade everywhere, and the falling off in
the supply, cause the merchants to be rather sanguine in
their expectations.
To-day holders displayed firmness, and refused to sell
excepting at fully former rates; from the grocers there
was a good demand for all descriptions with colour and
strength, but the refiners bought sparingly . the private pur-
chases amounted to 450 hhds and tierces. Good yellow
Antigua with not much complexion was sold at 87a, and
middling Berbice at 83s per cwt. At auction 80 hhds
Barbadoes were offered, an indifferent parcel, being soft
and with little colour, it sold without spirit, and rather un-
der former rates, mid yellow fetched 83s to 843, good 84s
6d to 85s 6d, fine 86s to 86s 6d per cwt.
The stock of British Plantation Sugar is now 17,135
hhds and tierces, which is 19,502 less than last year at the
same period. The stock of Mauritius is 16,996 bags,
being 87,206 less than last year. The stock of Bengal is
20,437 nags, which is 19,304 lens than last year. The de-
livery of British Plantation Sugar for the last week was
2,001 hhds and tierces, being 306 less than during the
same time last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 3,174
bags, being 6,195 less than last year. The delivery of
Bengal was 1,990 bags, being 2,045 less than the corre-
sponding week of last year.
The Gazette average price is now 58s 80, in 1839
40s 9d, and in 1838 29s 24d.
REFINED.-For home consumption Refined Goods have
been in rather better request since last Tuesday, and
prices are firmer, standard Lumps selling at 107 s to
107 s 6d, Tittlers and Hamburgh Loaves, good 108 s to
109 s, fine 109 s 6d to 1103 6d, low brown Lumps 1018
to 102 s, good and fine 103 s to 106 s. per c.vt. The
demand for treacle has improved a little, we quote
best old make 44s a 44s 6d, patent 41s 6d a 425, and common
39s to 40s. Pieces have sold freely, fine sorts up to 86s.
Bastards have been in good request, and common sorts are
not to be had under 709 per cwt. For Bonded Loaves a
good demand has existed, 37s 6d to 38s paid for 141bs, and
38s 6d to 39s for 101bs. In Crushed Sugar the operations
have been on a fair scale at 33s 6d. Treacle has sold freely
at 15s. Pieces and Bastards are not much in request, and
prices are unvaried. In Dutch Crushed Sugar the opera-
tions have been on a more extended scale; 200 tons have
been sold at 81s to 31s 3d on board at Amaterdarn.
To-day the demand was limited for refined goods from
the home trade, and prices gave way several shillings,
Standard Lumps selling at 1045 to 1043 6d, Tittlers and
Hamburgh Leaves good and fine 1053 to 110 s, good and
fine brown lumps 100 s to 103 s, common 97s to 98s. Treacle
dull at 39s to 44s 6d, Pieces and Bastards less in request,
but prices were supported. Bonded crushed was in fair de-
mand at 33s Gd per cwt. Loaves sold well at previous rates.
MAURITIUS.-There has again been no public sale, and
only 1,800 bags are declared; by private contract there
has been a good deal of inquiry, and rather higher prices
have been offered for strong qualities ; the short supply,
however, has prevented operations of moment, but three
vessels are near at hand with 20,000 bags.
EAST INDIA.- Bengal has been much sought after by
the home trade, and advanced rates offered, but by private
treaty few parcels are to be had ; white kinds are the most
wanted; at auction 3,400 bags sold wit!a spirit is above
former rates, fine white at 89s 6d, middling to good white
fetched 86s to 88s 6d, washed and damp 83s to 87s 6d, low
heavy brown 72s 6d to 75s 6d, fair 783 6d, damp 65s to
67s 6d, dry yellow 84s to 85s 6d, soft dingy 82s to 83s 6d
per cwt. Stock is considerably less that it was last year at
this time : the importation has been under that of 1839
Our Refiners are buyers to a fair extent of Manilla, and
would pay former rates, but the short supply has restricted
business, and few sales have been made privately, for ex-
port the orders are still trivial, prices being too high to
adroit of the execution thereof, there has been no public
sale. Siam and Java being held for rather higher prices,
have caused the operations privately to be on a small scale.
None has been offered at public sale.
FOREIGN. -For yellow Havannah a better demand has
existed since last Tuesday ; the merchants still display
firmness, notwithstanding the large stock, and have ob-
tained full former rates; 500 boxes have been iisposid of
by private treaty chiefly at 26s to 26s 6d for fine quality,
and a cargo, consisting of 800 boxes of good quality, has
been taken for Ghent at 25s 6d per cwt. ; a good deal
of inquiry has existed for brown sorts fram our refiners,
but the supply of this kind is small. For white there
are yet few buyers, and although there are sellers on easier
terms, yet the operations have been limited, and con-
fined to 150 chests by private treaty at 35s to 36s for fine
quality. Brown sorts of Brazil have been in good request
principally for refining under bond, and rather higher
prices have been paid ; 200 chests have been disposed of
privately at 21s 6d to 22s for good quality. White kinds
are dull of sale, and parcels out of condition are offered on
easier terms. The stock of Havannah is 50,000 boxes,
15,000 of which consist of white. The stock of Brazil is
less than it was in 1839.
To-day a parcel of mid greyish white Havannah was
disposed of privately at 335. per cwt.
MoLAssßs.-West India has been disposed of to a fair
extent at previous rates. The stock is 1,600 casks less than
last year at this time.
Come-For the clean descriptions of West India a
fair demand has prevailed since last Tuesday, and former
rates have been maintained ; middling kinds have been
the most in request : unclean qualities, however, have been
dull of sale, and prices have still a downward tendency,
owing to the competition they meet with from East India
and Cape sorts : at public sale, 122 casks
Jamaica were disposed of: middling clean at
113 s to 118 s, low middling 110 s to 1106 6d, fine ordinary
92s to 95s per cwt. The stock and the importations up
to the present time are considerably larger than last year.
In the value of East India and Cape descriptions little va-
riation has occurred, but the operations by private contract
have been on a small scale in all kinds, the public sales have
been unimportant, and have consisted of 2,400 bags Java, half
was disposed of Is under previous rates, viz. at 66s to 676
for, good ord bold yellow, the remainder was taken in at
665 to 68s, but the whole has since been sold at 66s to
66s 6d per cwt. Mocha of fine yellow quality is wanted,
but few parcels are to be had unless at extravagant prices,
other sorts are still only in limited request. The stock
has reached upwards of 160,000 bags, and the importa-
tions have been 174,000 bags, including many cargoes
brought from Holland via the Cape of Good Hope;
the high rates which ruled during the whole of last
year have been the cause of such unpreccdentedly large
supplies. The demand for Foreign is increasing, and a
fair amount of business has been transacted in Rio at an
advance on former rates of full 6d per cwt ; 1,400
bags have been disposed of by private treaty; good
ordinary at 41s 6d to 42s ; fine ordinary mixed 42s 6d. St.
Domingo is much wanted, but few parcels are yet to be
had ; floating cargoes would find a good market. Of Afri.
can 360 bags and 46 casks have been offered at auction
and all taken in at 65s for peculiar small berry. Both
the stocks and importations of Coffee for exportation
only are much larger this year than last, but considerably
smaller than in 1838.
This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind, and
privately the operators were on a small scale, holders how-
ever were firm. Good Java could not. be obtained under
665, and Ceylon 84s per cwt. The auctions declared are
of little moment.
A cargo of Domingo is offering afloat at 44s 6d per cwt.
TEA.-The market for Free Trade has presented a
tranquil appearance since we last wrote, and few purchases
have been made, in any description ; holders, however,
have displayed firmness, and prices have undergone little
variation; in some cases a slight reduction has been sub-
mitted to for cash, common Congou selling 2s 2d, good
blackish leaf 2s 2 d, ord and fair Twankay 2s 2d to 21 2d
per lb. Some vessels being near at hand from China,
and several public sales being declared, have been the
chief causes of the inactivity which has prevailed in the
market. The quantity of Tea arrived from Singapore
and the Cape of Good Hope during the past week
amounts to 14,000 packages. In the speculative market
there has been little activity, and Company's Congou
has fluctuated between 2s Id to 25 20 cash; but there
are no sellers now under 2s 20 per lb. The deliveries of
Tea in the United Kingdom for home consumption
during the past seven months have not been equal to those
of last year during the same period by 2,821,6751b5. The
quantity taken for export during the same time has been
1,742,832 lbs ; last year it amounted to 2,993,424 lbs.
The deliveries at this port during the past week have
amounted to 400,000 lbs. The supply for the season, it is
now calculated, will reach 30,000,000 lbs. For auction
on Thursday 7,669, and for Friday 5,500 packages are
declared, the chief part Congou.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND/1.-Jamaica Rum has
been in excellent request, and prices have been firm, 300
puns. have been disposed of since last Tuesday, 30 32
per cent over proof, at 6s 6d to 6s 8d ; 33 37 over proof,
6s 9d to 7s ; fine marks, 7s 2d to 7s 6d; of the latter the
supply is short. For Leewards there are few buyers,
either for borne use or export, and the sales have been only
150 puns since this day week, strong descriptions
have maintained late rates, but ordinary kinds have given
way Id per gallon; proofs having been disposed of at
3s 6d, several shipping orders are still unexecuted, the
limits being under those which the merchants are disposed
to aceept. The principal part of the Rum that will be
tendered for the Government contract is East India.
The stock is rather larger than last year at this
time, the importation, however, has been rather under
that of 1839. Brandy has been in good request, prin
cipally for shipping, asd prices have improved a little ;
purchases in Cognac, first brands of vintage of 1836 have
been made 5s 2d to 5s 3d in hhds, puns 5s to 5s Id ;
1827 hhds 55 to ss. Id, puns 4910.1 to 4s 11d ; 1858 With
4s 10 d to 4s I Id, puns 4s 8d to 4s 9d ; 1839 WWI 4s 6d
to 4a 7d, puns 4s 5d per gallon, and at these rates holders
are firm. Geneva has been in good request for export at
2s to 2s Id. British Spirits have been in excellent request,
at 103 3d per gallon. To-day the Rum market was quiet.
Jamaica and strone Demerara were held firmly, but proof
leewards were offered at 3s 6,1 per gallon.
Cocen.-The home trade have purchased freely of
%Vest India, and prices have further improved 2s to 3s,
per cwt; at public sale, 146 barrels and bags Trinidad s%,td
readily at 55s to 57s for low and good red ; 150 bags, mid-
dling and good red Grenada realized 303 to 443 sier cwt.
Foreign is wanted, and Guayaquil would command 37s 6d
to 38s, but the supply is small.
PROVISIONS.-A good demand has prevailed for Irish
Butter, and prices have been firm ; Limerick has beer, the
most in request. The arrivals have been on a more
extended scale. Wo quote Carlow landed 92s to 995, Cork
965, Limerick 953 Waterford 94s to 975; on board,
Limerick 93a, Carlo ws 92 to 98s, Waterford 93s to 965.
Dutch has sold freely, fine at 102 s to 1043; the supply has
Leen rather short. Prices remain high for Bacon, the best
qualities being held for Os to 643, but the trade buy with
