COFFEES.

'The following are the characteristics :
Java.—An excellent coffee, some of it fine, being full anti mellow ;
'flo increasing supply from this island is probable, and very desira-
ble. It is a coffee well adapted for the consumers in this country.
Its Importation, however, into the English markets hat not been
xtenslve, in consequence of restrictions imposed by the Duteli
'Government. The annual production of coffee in the island is
'estimated at a'iont 1,000,000 of bags, of about 1 cwt. each. Price
Is. Id. to is. Gd. per lb.
Cuba.—lh & coffee is chiefly fine, and also well adapted for the
eonsun pion of this country. Price Is. 3d. to Is. Bd. per lb.
Porto Rico.—The quantity of coffee imported from this island is
comparative y limited, but the quality of it is useful and good.
]Price Is. 1 ad. to Is. 4d. per lb.
Gityra.—The removal of high protective duties has induced
'enterprising and intelligent individuals from England to greatly im •
►Prove the qualities of this coffee. A considerable portion of the
InuPply the last two or three }ears has been sufficiently fine to come
lint° comp, tition with some of the finer qualities of colonial coffees.
Price I s. l ad. to Is. Bd. per lb.
Mocha.—This cone has for many years been very justly held In
high estimation, the best qualities of it posse ;sing a fullness and
mellowness particularly suitable to the English palate. It is to
be hoped that the encouragement given, by the recent favourable
'measures of the GOvernment, to the extension of the consumption
f such an excellent beverage, will tend greatly to increase the im.
Venation of this favourite description. Price Is. sd. to 2s. per lb.
Jamaica.—This coffee has been brought to a higher state of
;Perfection than the coffee of any other country. The best de.
iacrip ions are particularly strong and fine flavoured, but there are
variety of qualities imported from this island, and great care
'and judgment are necessarl in the selection. Price Ild. to 2s. per lb.
Ceylon.—This is the most interesting and promising of all our
colonial possessions. The cultivation of the coffee plant is rapidly
extending, and some of the best qualities are already brought to a
high state of pet fection. Price 3d. to Is. E3d. per lb.
There arc, in addition, importations of coffee from Sumatra,
-Padang, Batavia, St. Domingo, Havannah, Brazil, Costa
Rerbice, Demerara, Dominica, Malabar, &c., too unimportant to
describe, all of which, however, we supply.
The article of coffee has for some years past attracted the atten-
tion both of the late and present Governments, their object being
vo benefit the public by introducing it at a cheaper rate.
Mr. Labouchore, the President of the Board of Trade In the late
Covernment, devoted considerable time in endeavouring to alter
[the anomalous laws which existed in regard to coffee, but strong
'flPPosing interests at that period prevented him from carrying his
intentions into effect.
Sir Robert Peel, with great determination, notwithstanding the
Powerful interests arrayed against him, at once reduced (in his
celebrated Tariff) the duty on foreign coffees from Is. 3d. to Bii.
Per lb., and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his financial state.
,nent during the present session, announced a further reduction to
18d. per lb., saying—" It is most important to extend the use of a
beverage which is a great luxury to all claoses, and which, in ad-
(kin.), is found to supersede other beverages detrimental to health.
As the honour cf being the first to afford the public the full be-
'left of these philanthropic measures has fallen upon ourselves, we
confidently call upon her Majesty's Ministers, Noblemen, States-
''nen, and all who desire to see the liberal intentions of Government
cirriel out, and who wish to enjoy, in its greatest purity, so nutri-
tious a beverage as coffee, to confer on us their valuable support.

SCOTTISH EQUITABLE LIFE ASSUR-

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the
whole Profits are divisible among the Policy Holders every three
years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the
Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have
been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on
the vested bonus.
Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,000!. effected on the Ist of March,
1832, wilt, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled
to 1,297/. ; or, ifeffected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751.,
and so on as regards other Policies.
The Accumulated Rind exceeds 260,000!., and the Annual Revenue
is above 70,000/., the whole being in a course of steady and increas-
ing prosperity.
No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably
hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does.

THE CASE OF POISONING AT

Trivens-PoricE.—The case of Mr. James Cockburn Be-
lanev, charged with having caused the death of his late wife
Rachel by administering to her a dose of prussic acid at their
lodgings, 48, Green-street, Stepney, on the morning of Satur-
day, the Bth inst., having been remanded for a re-hearing
yesterday before Mr. Broderip, the Court was densely
crowded, and so great was the interest excited that several
well.dressed wLmen submitted to the heat and pressure of
the body of the Court for the purpose of seeing the prisoner,
and hearing the proceedings. Several of them had to bi;
removed almost fainting during the inquiry.
Some of the prisoner's personal friends, persons of great
respectability in the counties of Durham and Northumber-
land, and amongst others a county magistrate, a near neigh-
bour of Mr. Belaney's, and with whom he was in close inti-
macy, occupied the reserved seats in the Court, and his
brother, a clergyman of the Established Church, who, it is
understood, has a living at Arlington, in Essex, and to whom,
it appears, from one of the letters put in evidence, the pri-
soner was about to proceed on a visit with his wife, sat on
one of the benches appropriated to solicitors. One gentle-
man interested for the prisoner observing, previous to the in-
quiry being proceeded with, on this. strange reverses of for-
tune which frequently take place in life, said, it would
scarcely be supposed that a person who was about to join the
Duke of Leeds in a visit to the Prince of the Netherlands,
should have his journey intercepted, and himself incar-
cerated on a charge of murder, at the very moment he was
about to avail himself of the invitation.

At half-past two o'clock the prisoner was placed at the
bar. He appeared considerably altered, his dress being to-
tally changed; as, instead of the clerical costume, he wore a
Taglioui coat and a black neckerchief. He heard the evi-
dence with great firmness, and gravely, though slightly, bowed
to some of his friends.

Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, and two gentlemen from the
office of Messrs. Code and Browne, solicitors, attended for
the defence.

The first witness called was Inspector Haynes, of the de-
tective force, who only returned last night from the north,
where he had been collecting evidence. He said, that in
accordance with instructions which he had received from the
Commissioners of Police, he left town on Wednesday, and
arrived on Friday last at North Sunderland. He went, ac-
companied by Mr. Ord, a magistrate, to the house of a per-
son named Bell, from whom he received several letters, num-
bered from Ito 6 inclusive. He then went, accompanied by
Mr. Bell and the Rev. Mr. Simpson, to the prisoner's house
in North Sunderland, and, on searching a cupboard, found
two papers, purporting to be copies of wills, in a portfolio.
He afterwards went to Mr. Scott, the registrar, and procured
a copy of the registry of the death of Mrs. Skelly, mother to
the prisoner's wife; and, after that, he went to Mr. Thorp,
steward of the borough of Bamborough, who resides at Aln-
wick, and procured a copy of a surrender and admittance of
certain copyhold property, dated 24th October, 1843.
These documents having been handed in, Mr. Symons,
the chief clerk, proceeded to read them. The first ran as
follows :

- .
" Euston Hotel, London, June 5, 1844.
" Dear Sir,—We arrived here yesterday evening, safe and
sound, although to-day, lam sorry t say, Mrs. Belaney is
rather unwell. The fatigue of travelling such a distance, no
doubt, to a constitution delicate like hers, was sure to tell a
little upon her; and I think her spirit, to bear up and carry
all before her, has been greater than her strength was equal
to. However, I trust that in a day or two, after a good rest,
she will be all right again, and we will be able to proceed to
Arlington to my brother's. She does not think very much
of what, as yet, she has seen of London. That is easy to be
accounted tier, she being not over well on the one hand to
enjoy anything, and, on the other, having seen almost nothing
of interest but crowded streets. As, to-day, I leave this
hotel, and as I will be moving about from place to place, you
had better direct my letters to a bookseller's, who I have ar-
ranged with to receive and forward them to me wherever I
may be. His address is, Mr. Hobson, bookseller, Commer-
cial-road East, London.' This with my name will find me.
and I shall either call every clay at the shop tur my tent s,
or lie will send them to me. If there be anything of import-
ance requiring my consideration, you may mentiou it, and I
shall make as little delay over it as pcssible.
"In haste, yours truly,
" J. C. BELANEY."

It is worthy of remark, that though the above, dated the
sth, is addressed from the Euston Hotel, the prisoner had re-
moved to Green-street, Stepney, on the previous day.
The next letter was dated June the Bth.

Mr. BRODEMP—The Sth! Was not that the day of the
woman's death ? Mr. Symons—Yes, Sir.
This answer excited the greatest possible interest, and the
letter, which ran as follows, was listened to with breathless
attention : _ _ _

" London, June 8, 1844.

" Dear Mr. Bell,—l have little else to write to the north
about at present than to give you (who, I know, are all inte-
rested in it) a very unhappy account of Rachel's state. I
hive had her removed from the hotel to private lodgings,
where, with two medical attendants, she remains dangerously
ill. Symptoms of premature labour came on a few days ago ;
but,what is still worse, one of the medical men pronounces the
heart to be diseased. Of this I havelhad some dread myself.
This will alter my plans greatly; but, if she be spared, that
will be everything. Hoping you are well, I must in haste
conclude, yuurs sincerely, " J. G. BELANEY.
" No letters have vet arrived.
" Mr. G. G. Bell, 'North Sunderland, Belford, Northumber-
land."
The third letter, written also to the same party, was then
read :

" London, June 9, 1844.

" Dear Mr. Bell,—The worst that could be dreaded has
come to pass. Rachel is no more. You shall know all. Put
the men off work at the new house. As such could not be
done at the quarry and lime works without great inconve-
nience to the partnership, I shall not desire the same there.
I am hardly able to sit up ; but hope to be able to write to-
morrow more particulars. As her death has occurred chiefly
amongst strangers, and so suddenly, an inquest and post ?nor-
teo examination will be held. This has been mentioned to
me. Of course Ido not object to it.—Yours, sincerely,
" J. C. BELANEY."
Tile fourth letter, dated June, 1844, without the day of
the month, but having the postmark 14th of June, was then
read :

" London, June, 1844.
" Dear Mr. Bell,--I intended writing to you an account of
what had happened to my dear Rachel, through my infa-
tuity or inadvertency, and to myself; but at present am un-
able to do so. I have written Hall a sort of account of it.,
which I wish you to go immediately to peruse and consult
with him what to do. Oh 1 what is this come upon me like
a thunderbolt? I did not mention the cause of her death to.
you before, through a desire to bury the shame and avoid
the public reproach for my fatal neglect.. Yet I know well
you can account for it under such circumstances; but, oh
-God! I can never forgive myself. I would like you to call
upon Mr. Simpson, and give him the particulars of what Ii
have given of the awful occurrence. Lose not a moment ins
getting for Mr. Dornel testimony of my marriage from Barn
borough, and post it to Mr. Clark, 17, King-street, Stepney,
London."
Though out of the order in which it was read, we shall, as
the more consecutive mode, give the letter to Mr. Hall
" London, June, 1844,
" Dear Hall,—Ol lam distracted. I cannot write nor do
anything. I have lost my dear Rachel ; and, what makes
th; loss so much the worse, it was caused by my own neglect,
from lettivii)g some medicine, which I myelf had been taking
a portion of for my stomach, in a tumbler on the top of the
drawers at the apposite end of the room where she was. She
had gone for the tumbler, and poured some water into it with-
out observing anything in it, the medicine being only a small
portion of liquid in the bottom of the glass, and clear as thei.
glass of water; then she bad drank it. Oh 1 my God, I know,'
not what to do. My dear Rachel is gone, gone for ever from.
me. You, and all of you, knew how happy we were toge-•
gether. I had just gone, leaving her in bed, out of the mond.
for a minute or so, into the other room, in search of another
bottle to put the medicine in, for I had broken the one it was*
in, and got a tumbler in the meantime to secure the contents
in ; and she had got oht of bed to use the --- and take sows
salts, which were on the table by her bedside; and wishing tee
take some water after the salts, and supposing the glass art,
empty and clean one, she had gone to the ether end of the,
room, unknowingly poured water into it, and, oh God have
mercy upon us all, she drank a portion of it. I heard hers
cry for me in the other room. I flew to her; but, oh God "!
it was all over in a few minutes, and I am nOw in a state e
mind bordering on utter misery and madness. In the sudden
shock I knew not what to do or say. I called for immediate,
assistance.- It was brought,but it was of nonuse. The awful
occurrence having taken place in a situation where I am en-
ti -e•ily unknown, all are strangers around, and the peopho
bebiz.much inclined to doubt my statemot• that she way
my wilt, and everything else I said, lam a terrible situa-•
tion. The law has a right to suspect me, end as yet I haw,
not it creature found to prove my marriage, r what I am. or
who I am. I have nothing to prove anything as yet. The
solicitor whom I have employed, will either have to coma
down to establish my character, and prove flow/we lived, and
that we were married, or else he will regnire a few of two
friends who have known me and her also; to come up ancL
testify what they know of me. I know you will all do wham
is required for me. What I now regret tha most next to the,
accident, in my confusion and half-stunned state, is, I did not
say what had caused her death. I knew not what I wags
doing or saying, and, of course., horror-struck and shocked at
my infatuity in having left such medicine there, though 14
was only for a minute, and the poor dear Rachel was in be,
and, knowing well that the world would blame me perhaps
too severely for my carelessness in leaving such a dangerous/
medicine where it was in danger of doing such evil, I did n 0..,
until after I became a little more collected, say what bail
happened. This, though very natural at inch an awful Junc-
ture, is considered as against me. Oh, God ! I now not what
to do or say. It came upon me like a thunderbolt. If I were

ii

able I would write to you all—l mean most of my friends;
but at. present I cannot. Go to Mr. Bell and Wm. Wilson,
and Alexander Wilson, and who you think fit, and state the
melancholy contents of this to them, because I cannot acquaint
them all. -As poor Mrs. Stobbs is now the only memorial of
dear Rachel I know, go to her and give her my respects, and
tell her that I have lost my beloved Rachel ; and, although
there was not much friendship existing between them for
some time past, I hope better will now exist between,UF, and
that I shall always regard her for dear Rachel's sake. I
must now stop ; for I am bewildered, as if in an unconscious
dream.—Yours ever, "J. C. BELANEY."
" I wish Wm. Wilson could give you Mr. Tewart's address
in Lo Edon. He is one who knows me, and would say some-
thing fur me. Go to Mrs. Stobbs immediately; for, as a rela-
tive, it is my duty to acquaint her. Tell Mrs. Patrick and
all others you think well of. Oh, lam gone. I hope the
Lord will support inc under such trouble. If I can write to
Sampson, who is the minister of the parish, I still ; but at
present I cannot."
The next letter to Mr. Bell refers to the foregoing one.
"June, 1844.
• " My dear Mr. Bell,—By the time this reaches you,
you wilt have learned from Hall's letter, and my com-
munication yesterday, the awful cause of irry less ; and you,
well I know, can and will feel fur me. 0, God ! what a visi-
tation came upon.me, like a thunderbolt shot down upon me
in the midst of my happiness. Alas ! where are all my
summer arrangements gone with my dear Rachel ? But, I
cannot write. You shall hear from me immediately. To
meat the next.paymentsgo to Thew fottheprice of the wheat.
I will arrange for your supplies. Let no one interrupt 3on
in your usual course. I have legal advice to direct and go
through the case for me. I wrote a few lines for Captain
Clark to direct him to write you, giving instruction for you
to go on with the business as usual, and where to apply
to for money to meet the pay. I did not think of writing
you at:that time ; but now have done so. Besides several
other friends who are coming up, and who have known me
for so:rie time, I should like to see Mr. Hunt of Beltbrd. Do
go and tell him what has happened, and that I should like
him to come up immediately to say what he knows of me.
Mr. Hancock and several others have arrived. Tell him, for
God's sake, to conic off immediately. I will pay all expenses.
I must have -a few respectable friends to conic forward to
establish my character and say what they know of me. Oh,
God ! I know not what lam doing or saying. 'fell him I
shall pay every expense. When he comes he must call at
Itohsm's, bookseller,Commercial-road East, London, or at 17,
King's-street, Stepney, London, at Mr. Clark's.
`1 Yours ever, in haste,
• ' " J. C. BELANEY."
" Pray put the men upon the partnership on their work
again when reqiiiied, if they are not already on."
Another letter, addressed by Captain Clark to Mr. Bell, at
the desire of the prisoner, was then read. It ran as eiltees
" 17, King-street, Stepney, London, June 15, 1844.
Sir,—Mr. J. C. Belaney desires that you will go on as
usual, and let him know when you want a cheque for the pay.
His solicitor advises that you do not allow any one to see his
private eorrespendence, nor, even yours ; nor allow any one
to interrupt anything in his affairs, or to see any of his pri-
vate papers, no matter of whatever nature they may be.
You are also desired by him not to address me through the
Stepney address, lest they should be intercepted and pub-
. lisped, which would be very unpleasant. Yon will, therefore,
enclose your letter to Mr. Belaney, under cover to me, 17,
'King-street, Stepney.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" To Mr. Bell. " W. D. CLARK."
Mr. George Grey Bell, agent to Robson and Skelly's Lime-
works, North Sunderland, identified the letters signed J. S.
Belaney, as being in the handwriting of the prisoner, who
recently became a partner of the firm. Witness believed the
late Mrs. Skelly, the prisoner's mother-in-law, had been a
partner. Since witness became egent, which was in Septem-
ber last, the prisoner took an active part in the business. To
the best of his belief the letters signed J. C. Belaney were in
the prisoner's handwriting. Witness received the letters
numbered 2 and 3 on the Wednesday after the date.

W. D. Clark (10forfthrouf,ITouirt1TeinqairTas Captain
Clark), was called, and admitted that the letter produced,
bearing his signature, was written by him at the request ( f
the prisoner.
The two wills, found by Inspcctor Haync.7, in the cap-
board at the prisoner's house, were then read. The first ran
as follows:

• "1, Jamez Cockburn Relaney, do hereby will and bequeath
all my property, persoral and other estates and heredita-
ments, with their rights and titles, to Rachel Belaney, my
lawful wife, to be enjoyed and disposed of by her, as she best.

b., t Ralph More.
"P. S.—John Dinning, Esq„ of Alford, is to have n y
Greenland falcon, as promised. "J. C. B."

"North Sunderland, May 17, 1844."

The second was an exact copy of the former, bat without
the postscript. Judging from the signature, the whole of the
cb:cument, except the names of the attesting witnesses, was
written by Mrs. Belaney, who, would seem, hal copied it
ruin the other with a too faithful accuracy, as an erasure
was made for the purpose of altering the female into the male
prisoner.
Alexander Wilson, a labourer in the prisoner's employ-
ment at the lime works in North Sunderland, remembered
the prisoner and his wife leaving that place on the Ist of
June. Witness saw the prisoner and his wife at their own
house on the evening previous to their leaving. The prisoner
asked witness to sign a will, which he said was drawn up
betv.-zen himself and Mrs. Belaney. Witness then signed
two papers. Those produced are the same. _

Mi.. 'Symons—Dif the prisoner say anything when he
asked' you to sign them? Witness—the prisoner said they
consisted of this :—lf anything happened to Mrs. Belaney the
effects belonging to them-would be left in her will to do with
them as he chose; and Mrs. Belaney spoke to the same effect
—that if anything happened to him the effects would go to
her to do as she chose.

Ralph More, a shoemaker of North Sunderland, signed two
papers at Mr. Belaney's house, on Friday, the 31st of May.
After taking the pen and going over the signatures in wit-
ness's presence. the prisoner said it was much better to do so,
lest anything should occur whilst they were from home, and
added, that it was the custom of gentlemen, or people (wit-
ne7s did not remember which), always to do so when they
went from home. Mrs. Belauey only- signed the document,
and witness appended his signature. The document was here
Landed to witnex-=, who identified it.

Mr. Clarkson declined questioning any of the w•ituesees.
The next document read was the register of the Berth
Mrs. Skelly, mother of Mrs. Belaney; it was filled up cu the
information of the prisoner, who stated that Mrs. Skelly died
on the Ist of July, 1843, of bilious fever. The registly was
dated July 3, 1843.

Margaret Ronalds was then called—She said she had been
servant to Mr. and Mrs. Belaney for nine months. At times
?firs. Belaney's friends came to see her. They sometimes
were not asked in, and at other times they were. On one
occasion whilst witness lived there she was told by the pri-
soner that Mrs. Belancy had miscarried iu the night. He told
her s' between Fix and seven o'clock in the morning on a
Friday; but she did not know the month.
Mr. Clarkson—l see the clerk in his examination seems
to iset his information from some paper to which he refers.
I should like to know whether this witness has been exa-
mined before in the presence of a magistrate. (To the wit-
ness)—Were you examined before ?--Yes ; in North Sun-
. de:land.

Mr. Clarkson—Was lie a magistrate who examined you ?
I cannot say : I do not know.
Mr. Clarkson-1 have material objections to this mode of
proceeding; but I will not urge them here.
The witness proceeded to state that she was not called to
render any assistance to Mrs. Belaney on the occasion, when
the prisoner told her that that lady had had a miscarriage.
Mr. Clarkson—lf anything applicable to the present in-
quiry is to be elicited by this mode of inquiry, let it be shown;
or, if there be any other charge, let it be stated.
Mr. IlitopEnir—l am sure the prisoner has no cause to
complain of the manner in which this inquiry has been con-
ducted. The fullest latitude has been afforded for the defence.

The witness, on being pressed as to the time when , Mr.
Belaney spoke of the miscarriage, said, to the best of her re-
collection, it was in September last. Witness knew a Mrs.
Robson. No medical man was called in when the prisoner
told witness that Mrs. Belaney had a miscarriage.
In answer to a question from Mr. Clarkson, witness said,
she only arrived in town from North Sunderland on Tuesday.
Sergeant Shaw was then called, and proved that he re-
ceived a letter from the prisoner on the Wednesday after the
death of the deceased, which was intended for the post; but
which witness thought it his duty to detain.
Mr. BRODERIP (to the f you have anything. to
say, you can say it now; but your statement will be volun-
tary, and written down for or against you.
Sir. Clarkson intimated that the defence would be reserved.
Mr. BRODERlP—Prisoner at the bar, you stand remanded
until Saturday next; but, at the same time, I feel it neces-
sary to state that, if no additional evidence be given, it will
then be my duty to commit you to take your trial for the
wilfel murder of Rachel Belaney.

The announcement, wine.' excited a deep sensation in the
Court, did not seem in any degree to shake the prisoner, who
walked steadily back to his cell.

PRINCE TALLEYEAND.—The New Monthly Maga-
zine for July will con'ain another of those remarkable
papers relating to the personal career and character
of the prince of modern diplomatists, which have excited
se much attention in recent numbers of that periodical.
It cemains, we understand, the most singular relations
connected with the early life of the Prince—tracing him
from his birth, through every step of his boyhood—giv-
ing numerous anecdotes of his school days, his youthful
Gmourettts,his boyish escapades; and furni.hing many eu-
riot's and interesting features ofthat early career,the events
of which evidently moulded and modified that character
on which the fate of Europe was afterwards more than
once to depend. The revelations of these papers are so
eurinus and unlocked for, and at the same time their au-
thenticity is so beyond the reach of doubt or cavil, that
they may be regarded as the most valuable document-3
which have yet been given to the world in connexion
with the most remarkab'e man of his age and country.

FIRE IN BASINGUALL-STREET.---Last night, shortly
tefore twelve o'clock, a fire of an alarming nature broke out
in the extensive range of premises known as Whitlaw's
Patent Medicated Vapour Baths, New Basioghall-street. It
originated in one of the bath-rooms on the third story, and
Was first discovered by one of the inmates through-a
strong
Smell of burning. Upon making an examination the apart-
talent in question was found to be completely enveloped in
Ire, and the flames were rushing out with such rapidity as to
threaten with destruction the whole of the immense building.
Y,,rtunately not many minutes elapsed before several of the
engines were at the Fcene. There being an abundance of
water, the firemen by dint of great exertion succeeded in
onfining the flames to that part of the premises where they
commenced, and shortly after entirely extinguished them, but
12,4 before considerable damage was done. The origin of' the
ire could not be ascertained.
