What can be a greater proof of the excellency of JOHN CASSELL's COFFEES than the fact, that families have been so pleased with their deliciousness, strength and flavour, as to induce them to write to their friends at a distance, urging the use of articles so luxurious and pleasant to the palate. Hence tradesmen write, "I have been applied to by numerous customers for your Coffees, which friends have recommended them to obtain, and stating that no coffees they have ever tasted can be compared to yours. Please, therefore, send me the terms of Agency." JOHN CASSELL'S COFFEES enter more largely into the consumption of the people of this country than any other; and for this simple reason; that while they are unsurpassed in richness, strength and flavour, they are obtainable at prices usually paid for very inferior kinds.

EXCISE PROSECUTIONS.
ON Tuesday se'night, Mr. O'Rorke, at the instance of the Collector of Excise, sued Mr. Nathaniel Duncan, of Cromac Street, a respectable Spirit Merchant and Grocer, for trans-shipping to Whitehaven, without due permit, 28 gallons of Irish manufactured whiskey.
Mr. O'Rorke was for the Excise Commissioners, Messrs. Davison, Seeds and Collins on the other side.
The evidence in the case was as conclusive and regularly prepared as the Excise could get up. It was briefly as follows:--
Two tide-waiters from Whitehaven deposed that they, in consequence of information seized upon Whitehaven quay, three puncheons -- on examining which, they found them to contain, inside, three kegs, containing 28 galloas of Irish whiskey.
Other witnesses deposed that the casks were brought from the street opposite Duncan's house, and that a passage of his house, close to his hall, was sometimes used for curing pork. No evidence whatever was given that Mr. Duncan was the shipper of the whiskey.
The carman, Neal Brown, who carted the goods from Cromac Street to Queen's-quay, deposed that he had been paid by one person for doing so, and that he had been engaged by another person. He swore that he did not know either of these persons.
The Mayor was pressed to go into a second information against Duncan, but refused to take it up, on account of the lateness of the hour. Judgment in the first case was also postponed until Saturday.
On Saturday, judgment was given for the defendant, in the first case. In the second he was convicted, and fined in the mitigated penalty of £75 -- two-thirds of the penalty sought. In the other case, Mr. O'Rorke gave notice of appeal on the part of the Crown.

DEATH FROM DESTITUTION.
Early on the morning of the 31st ultimo, a man named William Harris, was found, in dying state, near to the house of a man named James Bakem, at Derryall, about four miles from Portadown, in the direction of Lough Neagh. The Bakems having heard that Harris was in fever, dreaded infection, and had refused him admittance to their house at an early period of the night, and even when they found him speechless, and unable in any way to help himself, they did not bring him in, but they placed him in the shelter of the house outside, with straw over and under him, and having lit a fire at his feet, they left him there, and went out occasionally to see him. During their absence from him, the clothes of the unfortunate man caught fire, and he rolled from where they had placed him, into an adjoining hollow, and when found, after this, one of his shoes was still burning, and his trousers had literally been burnt off, and he died very soon afterwards. On an inquest, taken place before Mr. Atkinson, the district coroner, a verdict a of "Death from exposure" was returned; and in the course of inquiry, it appeared that about two years since, the deceased had deserted his two infant children on a cold winter's day and, although frequently urged to go to the poorhouse before his decease, he would not go. -- Newry Telegraph.

BELFAST QUARTER SESSIONS.
CROWN DAY - THURSDAY.
Shortly after ten o'clock, the Assistant-Barrister entered Court, and the Crown business was proceeded with.
The following gentlemen were sworn on the
GRAND JURY. -- Thomas Chermside, William Graham, David Beatty, Robert Stewart, John Black, Ledlie Clark, Samuel Boyd, Theobald Bushell, William Boyd, Richard Baxter, James Coleman, Robert Alexander, Joseph Bigger, John Arnold, A. J. Barnett, James Boyd, James Cochrane, William Carson, Arthur Crawford, Samuel Campbell, and Samuel Archer, jun. Esqrs.
His WORSHIP addressed a few words to the Grand Jury on the nature of their duties, which he was happy to state would be very light. His Worship expressed his regret that an institution had not been formed in this town for the reception of persons after the period of their imprisonment had expired, who might be recommended by the governor, on account of good conduct in the prison; and, from what he knew of the liberality of the people of Belfast, he was sure that if the necessity which existed for the establishment of such an asylum for the reception of those unfortunate individuals who brought themselves within the pale of the law, and suffered imprisonment, and whose characters were afterwards blighted to such an extent that they were compelled to seek shelter in the same haunts of crime wherein they had been first corrupted, were pressed upon their consideration, they would not be slow to respond to the call.
His Worship's observations on this important subject seemed to meet the approval of every individual in crowded court.
MARKET JURY -- Messrs. Wm. Allison, David Bell, Wm. Bell, Andrew Clarke, Moses Crothers, Hugh Dyer, James Dunlop, James Duffy, Thomas Gaffikin, Wm. Neeson, George Hops, and Joseph Connor.
The following gentlemen were sworn on the Petit Jury: - Messrs. John Millar, William Bathurst, Robert Cordner, Adam M'Clure, Hugh Curry, Michael Woods, Alex. Titrington, James Mussen, George Duncan, Henry Barry, John Craig, and George Major.
George Russell, an old offender, pleaded guilty to stealing a gown and coat, the property of Richard and Jane Cole. To be imprisoned twelve months.
James Smith, a Smithfield dealer, was indicted for receiving and having in his possession, a large quantity of ordnance papers, knowing same to be stolen.
The jury acquitted the prisoner; but he is to remain in custody till an order from the Lord Lieutenant be obtained for his discharge -- the Barrister refusing to liberate him under such circumstances.
The applications for spirit licenses were then heard. There were 58 applications, 38 of which were allowed.
Before the Crown business was resumed, Mr. O'RORKE applied to the Court for an order for £5 10s., costs of an appeal made by the Gas Company against the decisions of the Magistrates, in the case of the Corporation of Belfast against the Proprietors of the Gas Works -- a notice having been given of its withdrawal by the Solicitor for the latter establishment.
Mr. SEEDS resisted the application, but the Court ruled in favour of Mr. O'Rorke, reducing the sum to £4.
Wm. Greer and Wm. Davison were charged with stealing a mat from the office of W. D. Henderson, Esq., on the 12th Dec. Davison submitted, and Greer was found guilty; four months' imprisonment.
Wm. Arbuckle, a night watchman, was then put upon trial for a grievous assault upon Bernard M'Auley, and for a common assault upon Wm. Hutton, on the morning of 2nd Dec. last.
John Cochrane for stealing money from Patrick Conway, and assaulting Arthur Savage, at Lisburn, on 6th Nov. last. Guilty of the assault; 4 months' imprisonment.
The Court adjourned at 6 o'clock till 10 on the following morning.
=========================
MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT. -- A most tragical event occurred at Earlsgift, the residence of the Hon. and Rev. Charles Douglas, on Wednesday afternoon, during the absence that gentleman from home. A little boy, named Barney Dogherty, a stable servant, son of Mr. Douglas' coachman, was desired by his father to watch occasionally a pan of coals that had been placed hot in a carriage for the purpose of airing it. It appeared that the poor little boy not aware of the danger he incurred, either out of fun, supposing that the carriage would be better aired by his doing so, pulled up all the blinds to exclude fresh air, and remained himself in the carriage. The boy not returning from the carriage, his father being surprised at his remaining so long a time away, went to see after him, and found him quite dead. A medical man instantly sent for, and every thing done to restore animation, but all without avail; he was quite dead. The circumstance plunged the whole family at Earlsgift in deep affliction, for the poor little fellow, by his conduct, intelligence, and interesting appearance, had engaged the affections of all who knew him. A coroner's inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of "died by suffocation" returned -- Derry Sentinel.

Monday, 7th January.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
William Lattimore was indicted for feloniously robbing Nelson Herron, at the Blackskull, on the 14th December last.
Mr. RUTHVEN prosecuted for the Crown. It appeared prosecutor had been robbed, on the highway, of a pound-note and some silver, and the trousers torn off him; and that the prisoner was caught kicking him, and arrested next day, with money. The prisoner got a good character, -- Guilty; twelve months' hard labour.
IMPORTANT CASE.
Daniel M'Gurgan and James Grimley, alias M'Guire, were indicted for conspiring, on 20th July, at Newry, to cheat Robert Millis, of Moira, of £20, by means of a false and fraudulently-obtained civil bill decree, grounded on forged I O U, and, also, for obtaining money under the false pretence of a legal decree against Robert Millis, on 25th October, 1849, at Moira.
There were a great many counts in the indictments, which appeared to be of considerable length, stating the offence in various ways.
The BARRISTER charged the Jury shortly, and told them he had only to say, that the decree obtained by the false and fraudulent means resorted to by the prisoners was of no value at all that it was mere waste paper; and that, if they believed the evidence of the Crown, the charges were fully proved.
Verdict -- Guilty on all counts. Sentence -- to be imprisoned for one month; and after that to be transported for seven years.
This trial occupied nearly seven hours
