HENEKEY and COMPANY. TO SIR FELIX BOOTH, Bart. Sir,—Having put you in possession of the means toprepare a Brandy superior in quality to the samples set aside by you for reference, and performed faithfully in every respect my agree ments with you, I now venture to ask whether you have kept with equal fidelity and truth your written engagements with me. Have you not, on the contrary, without any reason, or the slightest plea of justice, disregarded your bonds, and departed from almost every one of them? While relying o❑ your nume rous professions of honour, and contenting myself with claims by no means adequate to my deserts in this business, in expec ta'ion of future success, how has it happened that when the af fairs at Albany-street, Regent's-park, had assumed a prosperous form under my skill and exertions, that you should have with drawn from the payments awarded to me, and departed so ma terially from your contracts? Do you suppose that, while en joying the benefits derived from my discoveries, you can play fast and loose with these objects, and, while using my processes and matters for your own advantage so liberally, that it ran be allowable that the " considerations" for which they were granted should be withheld from me? For fear you may have forgotten any of the documents signed by you in my favour, I annex a copy of " one of them" at this time for your re-perusal, the " original" of which, I assure you has not been destroyed, and to which I call your serious attention. A " gentleman of your reputed honour," deriving such great benefits from me, can never surely hops to shelter himself from his payments under the procrastinations of a Court of Equity, or seek protection in the supposed unwillingness I may entertain against entering upon such expensive proceedings, in a cause which no Court of Law in any country on this side of Kam sehatka would support or entertain for a single moment. Sub mitting your own document for your consideration, I am, Sir, yours, &c., D. HO3IE. 6th March, 1840. AGREEMENT BETWEEN Slit F. BOOTH, BART AND MR. HOME.

I trust that Ministers will have more good sense, more foresight, unless they wish to see Chartism become more general ; for one of the arguments of the Chartists is, that the poor and industrious classes are over taxed already, while the rich are living in their luxuries, free of taxation, and at the expense of the poor. If there arc to be more taxes, why not levy them on the rich—on the monopolizing landlords ? In Prussia " one third of the en tire revenue, and more than twice the amount of the Na tional Debt, is levied by direct taxation on the rich, before indirect taxation on the earnings of the industrious and il!- used poor."—Farr. We also learn from Blackstone " that from 1695 to 1770 land was taxed 3s. 4d. in the pound, acc or di ng to the value of the land." Supposing it to be only 33. it, the pound on all land, it would ming to the revenu e o f t h s country thirty millions a ye ar I Then why not put a tax upon land, and make the rich pay their share ? And in stead of taxing the poor repeal the Corn-laws, that they may be able to obtain at a cheap rate " the st a ff o f lif e. " You may depend , M r . Editor, that if new t axes are imposed, and the Starvation-laws remain as they are, the people will (and justly too) agitate for a tax upon land from one end of the country to the other. To you, my oppressed countrymen, I will s a y ag i tate agitate I agitate!! fur the repeal of the Corn-laws—for the repeal of those laws that deny your children bread, and you the rights of Englishmen !

A NT I-CORN-LAW ASSOCIATION. -.A special general meeting of the Anti -Corn law Associa tion was held in the hall of the Royal Hotel on Thursday evening —Mr. Philip :s-as called to the chair. After reading a letter from the Pre sident, Mr. Thomas Bannerman, apologising for his unavoidable absence, and suggesting that if the Society were to petition Parliament for the repeal of the Corn-laws, it should be done as extensively as possible, the Secretary, Mr. Adams, gave a full account of his delegation to the great banquet at Manches ter, and communicated sums interesting particulars regarding the depressed state of trade in England, the progress of the agitation, and the prospects of a successful issue. Ile stated also that he had se -n and conversed with several Members of Parliament., when in London, about the Corn-laws, and gathered from their conversation as much a s led him to beli eve that Gover n ment would consent to t he a ppointment of a Com mittee to consider the whole quest ion. A good d ea l o f conver sation then took place as to the be st means of getting up p e t I 5 0 lions; and it was ultimately agree d that se p a rate petiti ons s h a ll 1 1 0 be got up for each parish in the city, for the different mann -1 0 0 factories, and for separate districts in the suburbs. Arratme -1 0 0 merits were made for giving effect to this resolution without a I 0 0 moment's delay.

A meeting of the Gentry and Freeholders of the South Riding of Tipperary was held at Clonmel on Monday, when a petition against the repeal of the Corn laws was adopted. The High Sheriff, H. Prittie, Esq., presided. Amongst those present were Lord Lismore, Lord Hawarden, the Hon. J. King, Messrs. T. E. Lalor, R. Pennefather, John Scully, &c. Lord Hawarden proposed a petition in favour of the present Corn laws. Mrs Lalor seconded the motion for its adoption. Mr. John Scully opposed the motion. He denied that agriculture had prospered under the influence of the Corn-laws, which, on the contrary, had depreciated prices. Mr. Scully moved that the meeting do adjourn sine die. Mr. 0 1 13 lien seconded the amendment, and advocated a steady protecting duty. Mr. R. Pennefather and the Hon. Mr. King sup ported the petition, and contended that prices had im proved with the Corn-laws. Lord Lismore, considering that inquiry was necessary, could not support the petition ; still he considered a protecting duty absolutely necessary. Ultimately Mr. Scully stated that he would not di vide the meeting, and the petition was adopted. AFFAIR OF HONOUR IN CORK. At the rising of the Court on Wednesday, Mr. Gore. Jones, stipendiary magistrate, appeared before Judge Perrin, with Mr. Philip Harding, of Macroom, in custody. His Lordship, on looking at the affidavit handed by Mr. Gore Jones, addressed Mr. Hardin as follows : Sir, this affidavit states that it is your intention to fight a duel. Is that the fact ? Mr. Harding made no answer. His Lordship —It is my duty to tell you, sir, that I am bound to prevent a breach of the peace ; and unless you pledge me to that effect, it is my intention to hand you over to the Sheriff, and let you remain in custody for the night. Mr. Harding still remained silent. Mr. Gore Jones (addressing his Lordship) said be would undertake that no breach of the peace should be committee, if Mr. Harding was entrusted to his care. His Lordship—l shall arrange that myself. Are you, Sir (to Mr. Harding), prepared to enter into recognizance not to commit a breach of the peace ? Mr. Harding—My Lord, to what amount? His Lordship—Yourself in 5,000/., and two sureties in 2,5001. each. Mr. Harding then entered into the required surety for himself, and Mr. Alexander O'Driscoll, of the Hill, offered himself as one of his sureties. Another being wanted, Mr. Harding said he was unprepared at the moment with the second surety, and he hoped his Lord ship would be satisfied with that of Mr. O'Driscoll. His Lordship accepted the bail, and then added that the condition of Mr. Hording's recognizance was, that he should appear in Court at nine o'clock next morning. His Lordship having bowed to the parties, then retired. Yesterday Mr. Harding and his second, Mr. Min hear, appeared in Court, and were bound over, Mr. Crookes, the other principal, and his second, Mr. Browne, are still at large. The parties quarrelled at a meeting of Poor-law Guardians, CHURCH-RATES. ' 114, The Sun of Thursday evening, in its Parlia mentary report, states, that Mr. Easthope gave notice that shortly after Easter he would move to relieve Dissenters from the payment of Church rates. • We rejoice to see this question taken up by our worthy Member, and augur favourably for its rapid progress, and ultimate, if not immediate success, under his able management. Many quali fications point him out to Dissenters as a most appropriate leader. His love of religious liberty, his persevering energy in following up whatever he commences, his great influence, and, above all, his independence, will, we doubt not, rally around him all the respectability, the earnestness, and the zeal of the Dissenting body. We deem it no small honour that a Member for Leicester should step forward to conduct the armies of religious liberty to the field. That he will be followed by numerous, united, and determined troops we cannot permit ourselves to doubt. Apathy has been dispelled by the scourge of Lord John Russell—breaches have been healed—organisation to a large extent has been effected—Non-conformists throughout the country are panting to move forward—they waited but the signal, and now that signal has been given— and unless we are greatly mistaken, they who were two months since regarded as a valley of dry bones, sapless, motionless, useless, will presently stand up an exceeding great army.—Leicestershire Mercury. A few days ago, Thos. Eastwood, Esq., a Ro man Catholic, appeared before the Magistrates of Doncaster, for non-payment of Church-rues, and after two hearings, the Magistrates admitted his ob jection, and declined to adjudicate, because the Churchwarden had not demanded the rate in person. On Monday week, Mr. T. Hill, of Dudley, a Church-rate defaulter, appeared before the Magis trates, accompanied by his solicitor, Mr. George Edmonds, of Birmingham, who contended that the rate was invalid, because the Churchwarden had not demanded it in person. The man who was said :o have detnanded it had died. The Magis trates dismissed the case. [These decisions are, in our opinion, of great importance. An additional instrument is thus put into the hands of the opponents of Church-rates. Let it be wielded unflinchingly against the " nefa rious exaction."] Mrs. Hooper is not dead, as was reported, but is alive, and playing at York. On Wednesday a woman residing in a cottage at Pelcombe-bridge, near Haverfordwest, imprudently kindled a fire of wood on the floor of a room in which there was no flue. The flame communicated with the thatch ; there being a brisk breeze at the time, the fire caught two adjoining cottages and one on the opposite side of the road, all of which, with the entire furniture in them, were completely consumed. We perceive by a notice in the last Gaze//e that the Earl of Cardigan's regiment, the 11th Light Dragoons. is in future to be styled " Prince Albert's Own Hussars."

We seldom read accounts of criminal trials without disgust. Na doubt it is often curious to note the ela borate process by which conviction is brought home to the guilty, and sometimes a successful attempt of the innocent to baffle a malicious prosecutor inspires . a plea surable feeling. B u t for the most part, proceedings in the Crown Courts consist of minute records of crime, painful though instructive subjects of study to the phi lanthropist, the statesman, and the social Reformer. The " gaol deliveries' now going on in the provinces have presented few remarkable incidents ; but to one trial we must request particular attention. The pro ceedings alluded to took place at 'Maidstone, Mr. Justice Littleclale on the Bench ; and as the report is short, we quweit. [The case of Henry James is then quoted.—See The Sun of Wednesday.] It will be observed that Sir Herbert Jenner himself directed the prisoner to be charged with a felony for pilfering a pennyworth of twigs. That learned person ought to be deeply ashamed of the figure he makes in this report. 'What a merciless proceeding to send a human being to gaol, bring him into Court as a felon, with aching heart and blasted character, for an offence which, as it turned out, could not be legally established, and for which a cut across the shoulders with one of the switches would have been a sufficient punishment. It is not stated that Justice Littledale reproved the prose cutor ; but we hope the charge to the Jury contained some notice of his most reprehensible behaviour. And what should we think of the Magistrate who committed the prisoner on such an accusation ? Had the sticks belonged to a poor neighbour, would the Justice have taxed the county with the cost of supporting the culprit in gaol for six weeks ? It is not credible ; but we know, and have heard enough of country Magistrates to be lieve, that to oblige a personage of importance like Sir Herbert Jenner, very few would hesitate to follow the example of the Kent Justice, who incarcerated the twig stealer among the felons at Maidstone. At the same Assizes, another specimen of the Kent Justices' qualification for the performance of their func tions was exhibited. Judge Littledale found in the ca lendar no fewer than three persons committed for murder. On perusing the depositions, he came to the conclusion that the charge could not be substantiated ; and " he had ascertained upon inquiry that the prison ers had been committed for murder by mistake," and that " manslaughter was the proper form of charge." We observe that the criminal calendar in somecoun ties is unusually heavy. In Kent the number of pri soners was 116 ; of whom a few could read and write, and only five had obtained anything like a decent edu cation. At Stafford 90 prisoners were to be tried, and most of them for serious offences. Vine were charged with murder—we hope, however, by tnistake. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLzs—YiSTE rt DAY.

ANDERSON'S CRACK PACK OF STAG HOUNDS. To our sporting friends it has always been our study to give the earliest and most correct information to the best of our ability, and in noticing a splendid run with these hounds, a description of the turn out will, we trust, be of some interest to those who are fond of seeing a well-conducted hunting establishment, and formed upon a principle novel and well worthy of being followed by those who feel how highly necessary it is to have their hounds fresh at starting. Mr. Anderson brings his hounds to the meet in a light, elegant, pair cane open-work carriage. When we saw the arrival at Hayes last Tuesday, it struck us as something extremely chaste, both horses and carriage corresponding—tree English superiority being the predominant feature. The huntsman, a young gentleman of the name of Dyson, we believe, is an amateur chasscur, and from what we have seen of his riding to hounds, we have no hesitation in saying that he is one of the best cross country riders we know of. The whip rides well up to his leader, and he must be a good one after thirty minutes who keeps place with them ; indeed the whole turn out is matchless as a private pack—muis a 7IOS Iffaires. A meet at Hayes at any time will draw, but after the late frost it was a perfect treat, and we, therefore, with much pleasure, on Tuesday morning accepted a seat in the Prince's carriage, and in good time got to Oldacre's hunting stables, where our old horse Burgundy was as fresh as good keep and exercise could make him. At twelve o'clock the hounds were brought up to our worthy friend Shackle's, a gentleman holding a large tract of land in this parish, and who at all times throws open his house, with a splendid spread, to all his brother sportsmen (and he is a true one) whenever the meet takes place at 014 house ; and whether for Abe Queen's hounds or others he has always a good turn out on his own land. Owing to the frost the deer was not turned out until one o'clock, and at that fine fa vourite place Po!shill. The company was, as usual, very select—Bainbridge, Wantler, Evan, Robinson, Tattersall, Ellmore, Bean, Evans, Best, and some twenty more equally good men. On the hounds being laid on, a fine scent led to a splendid burst over to West end, over to Down Barn, Harrow Spire, to the left—beautiful cross riding up to High Grove and East Cot Hoo, the hounds going slappingly over to Pinner and by Oxhey Great Woods, bending and crossing the river towards Watford, skirting Cashiobury Park. The run up to this was splendid, and would have made a glorious finish to the few that were with the hounds, but a cold, bitter, blasting scent came over, and the deer was lost for at least an hour. But a few choice sprits kept on with the worthy master, to endeavour to save this gallant animal, but in vain, and at half-past six o'clock, P.M., then almost dark, hounds and horses beat, we reluctantly gave up, but not from choice—neces sity. The whip for several fields led his horse, and the huntsman was glad to call upon Ben's groom for his grey. Six miles to Watford, across terra incognito, on the gloaming, was no very pleasing matter, after being seven hours on our horses, and therefore at the first auberge we inquired the shortest way ; and if ever we leave the high road for a short-cut, at night, then may we get into a water-_ erlamsh(,as the countrymen simply call it) fit to drown a field nume rous than ours—a trio ; and honest Jack Ellmore and Bon Bill Bean will bear ample testimony that if oid Burgundy .is not the first field-horse, be is an out-and-out water racer. and s afely led as to a happy meeting at th e 8 5 . sex Arms.

IRREGULARITY AT TILE POST -OFFICES.--We have received several complaints of the non -delivery of papers sent from our office; no less than three copies of lust week's Pilot. which were put into the post-office, at North Shields, on the Friday evening, for different parties at Newcastle, never reached their destination. Several of the papers usually sent to us very often do not reach us till two or three days beyond the proper period of their arrival ; and some of them evidently bear marks of having been read. Who is to blame, we know not; but we trust that the post-office authorities will take such ener getic me asures as w ill prevent the recurrence of the great evil and inconvenience of which we and many others have to com plain.-- Tyne Pilot.

On the 24th of September at midnight I rewired information that two elephants of very uncommon size had made their appearance within a kw hundred yards of the cant onments , an d c l ose to a v ill age, the int:Alf tants of which were in the" greatest alarm.Piro time in dispatching to the place all the public and pri vate elephants at the station, in pursuit. or tiu m, ;rid at day-break on the 25th was informed that their ~ry superior size, and appar'entlicrceness, had render. .d attempts for their seizure unavailing, and that the experienced driver I had was dangerously hurt ; tho elephant on whi , .l) he rode having been struck. :o tiro ground by one of the wild ones, which, with its compa nion, had afterwards retreated to a large sugar-cfaw joining the village. I immediately ordered the guns to this place, hut being desirous, in the first instance, to try every mean: of catching. the elephants, T zssembled the irhal/i -tants of the neighbourhood, with the assist - x..1(.7e of Rajah Rungnath Sing, mid caused two deep pits to be prepared at the edge of the suvr-eanc, in which our elephants and people, with the utmost dexterity, contrived to retain the elephants during the day, NI/lien the pits were reported ready, we repaired to.th e spot, and they were with the greatest dexterity drpe t in i nto them ; but, unfortunatety, one of the two did no: pro sufficiently deep, and the elephant which escaped f rom it, in the presence of many witneases, assisted his com panion out of the other pit with his trunk. Both were, however, with much exertion, brought back into the sugar-cane, and, as no particular symp_ toms of vice or fierceness had appeared in the coutse the day, I was yet anxious to make another trial to catch them. The bildars therefore were set to work to deepen the hole, and prepare new pits against daybreak, V: h c :-. I proposed to make the final attempt. At four o'clock in the morning of yesterday, however, they burst through all my guards, and making for a ‘' . l-1 !age, about three miles distant, entered it with so much rapidity, that the horseman, who galloped in front of them, had not time to apprise every, inhabitant of his danger, and I regret to say that one poor man was torn * , limb from limb, a child trodden to death, and two other', persons (females) wounded. Their destruction now became absolutely necessary ; and, as they showed no inclination to quit the large village in which the mischief had been done, we gained time to bring up the four-pounders, from which they soon received several round-shot, and abundance of grape, each. The largest of the two was even brought to the ground by a round shot in the head ; but, after remaining there a quarter of an hour, appardilly he got up again, as vigorous as ever, and the despers don of both at this period exceeds all description. They made repeated charges at the guns, and if it had not been for the uncommon steadiness and bravery of the artillerymen, who more than once turned them ofl; by shots in the head and body, when within a very kw paces of them, many dreadful casualties must have oc curred. We were now obliged to desist for want of arum, nition, and before a fresh supply could be obtainen, th 4• elephants quitted the village, and though streaming with blood from an hundred wounds, proceeded, with a ra pidity of which I had no idea, towards Hazafeebagh; They were at length brought up by the horsemen and our elephants, when within a very short distance of a crowded bazaar, and ultimately, after many renewiils of the most formidable and ferocious attacks upon the guns, gave up the contest, with their lives. Nineteen tour pound shots have already been taken out of their bodies, and I imagine eight or ten more will yet be found. I have been thus particular, both because I think Ole transaction worthy of being recorded, as well as fro% a hope that you will concur with me in the propriniy cf an application to the Government for compensation for the damage suffered by the owners of the villa ir of and Ooria, from the destruction of several Ti uts, atilt much cultivation. I have taken the necessary s'eps to ascertain the extent of the injury they have sustained, and shall have the pleasure of communicating to you the result. I enclose a correct measurement of the elephants. which will be read with surprise, I believe. lam of opinion that they must have escaped from Hplerabad, or some other part of the Deccan, for I hate never heard of or seen animals of their size in this part of Ind -a.

Fraser Esq. just published : 4: Ithinic," says Mr. Fraser, " of all places I ever was in, it is the most remarkable for every imagin able sort of noise, and its inhabitants the most intole rably obstreperous. The room I now occupy has a balcony over the street, with two windows ; so that everything that passes under, is us well heard as if if were going on in the room. Before day I have a con= cert of cocks and hens from a neighbouring yard ; this is followed by the lively beat of the ' reveillcz' from the Sepoys' quarter, which, in its turn, rouses a host of " dogs ; these keep up a very industrious running bass of' barking-, till the donkeys begin to bray. By that time the neighbouring Arabs who have been driven into :fawn by the disturbed state of the country beyond its walls, have shaken their ears, and begin to drive out to pasture the flocks of sheep and herds of cattle and camels they have brought in with them for security. Assiaredly Arab sheep and cattle have the deafest ears to the voice of the charmer of any animals on earth, or they are grievously abused by their drivers ; for such a roatirg and roarirg as is made to induce the beasts to masa along, I never heard in any other place. . . By :hat time the rest of the biped inhabitants are astir. The quiet Turk shuffles silently along, nor do the Christians or Jews commit any violent trespass upo:. the sense of hearing ; but there are more Arabs—ay, this street is their great thoroughfare, and here and everywhere they rush along in droves, like the less brutal animals they drive or ride, hallooing to 'each other and to all they pass, often maintaining a ccnvera sation at the top of their tremendous voices, with set - re equally clear-piped brother, at a waster of a mile's dis tance ; as for approaching nearer for conveuicece o communication, they never dream of such a think.; ; lungs are cheaper than legs, it is clear, at least, in Baghdad. Then there is—but I spare you the further detail of town criers, saints routing out their aealiag ejaculations, beggars and f a k e e rs thundering fortis their petitions in the name of Allah and the Prophet ; sod, worse than all, professed singers practising the it voices as they pass along. In short, Hatchettls, in Piccadilly, when all the mails and coaches are under despatch— Ccckspur-street and Charing-cross, when the season is fullest and the cries are loudest—or Smithfield on a l special market day—or Billingsgate, or all of those to gether, must strike and yield the palm for variety arid intensity of noise, to Baghdad, the true legitimate su cessor of old Babel." The white asses and black no groes, though not so noisy, attract equally the attention of travellers. " For the former," says Mr. Fraser," there is quite a craze here—white is your only colour for aalcn key, and you scarcely meet any person of respectability, man or woman, mounted on any thing else than these spotless quadrupeds—pisexcept,thiinndgeeudn,detrhetimicog7adtt. war like classes, who i , an Arab steed. Most of the learned and holy fessions p re f er th e meeker animal, and do all ladies ; so th at t h e num b er in use is very t t n " d e as women of th e hi g h er ran k s seldom mos 4 without a multitude of attendants similarly mounted, when such a visit is made at the house of a neighbour, the' braving concert becomes intolerable. These asses are, I believe, of a particular breed, and fetch very high prices —from forty to fifty pounds sterling being no uncommon sum for one of great size, good blood, and fine paces. They are magnificently caparisoned, and every one of the pour animals has its nostrils slit, a practice prevalent also in Persia, and which is said to make them longer winded. Heaven knows their wind is long enough when thel begin to br a y. The rage fur Wick slaves Lere is quite all universal us that for white donkeys, and, judging from ap pearances, I should suppose that the uglier they are, the more they are valued—hke an Isle of Skye terrier. whose beauty consists in its especial and perfect ugli ness. These dark beauties, male and female, come chiefly from Madagascar and Zanzebar, and are sup plied for the most part by tlielniitim ol.Nu i, Muscat— nd a s very staunch and worthy a, of i lyours, in whose i nearly all the trade, rests. 'T hey are all thick-lipped, have broad faces, high cheek-bones, exceedingly da presse, pressed noses, small peaked chins, staring 'white eyes, and atrociously black skins. . . . Here you find them greatly preferred to all others as servants, both in the Harem, and for other offices. The streets s'.vartn with them, and their glossy skins, fat shining faces, and gay apparel, lead at once to the conclusion that they •fare well; a fact sufficiently notorious f om the well-known partiality of Turks, in common Witt, most Orientals, towards their slaves ; and the impudent swarer, cud' not unfrequcutly insolent language of the dark rogues as they pass you in the street, leaves no doubt of 'hit' being the spoiled favourites of some over-indulgent master. The enjoyment of this species cfrluxury :s, however, confined to the faithful ; no Christian or hill del, of whatever caste, being by law permitted to coals al) , slave."
