TUE 'Fume IP Fr-I%—A method of preventing the ravages of
the turnip fly has been adopted at Hampstead. The practice is
fhunded upon the fact thie. the fly emits its eggs in the autumn,
and they are not hatched till the next spring, when the warmth
and are fruitful state of the soil be reneeted ploteshings and
harrowings, admit of .the generating, ettects of the sun's rays:
It is at this period the turnip is .generally sown ; the plant
therefore springs up about the time the fly is hatched, and a
surply of food being thereby afforded, it is not surprising that
the fly should multiply If instead of sowing and thrive.
imune-
diately, the soil is brought into as flue a state as possible, and
the sowing delayed for ten days, altlioueh the tic would he
hatched, it wonld'die for want of its natural food. The exist-
ence of a fly in the field may be ascertained by placing cabbage
. leaves at night, and examining them in the morning.
WESTMINSTER SESSIoNS,--INDICTMENT AGAINST LOED
MOMPETH AND OTKRES.—A most ridiculous charge was brought
against certain of his Majesty's ministers at the above Sessions
on Friday week, by a person named Flood, who, about two ses-
sions ago was taken Tutucustody, and committed toNewgate,
fur throwing some papers from the gallery of the House of
Commons into the body of the house. The clerk of the indict-
ineuts considered the charge did not constitute an indictable
offence, and he therefore could not band it to the jury; but
Flood maintained that his indictment was properly draWn, and
that he would not be biassed by any man. In the indictment.,
Lord Morpeth, as Secretary of State for Ireland, was charged
wi,ti having. on the 10th of August last, at the House of Ce-m-
-mons, &c. maliciously instigated a certain person, whose name
is unknown, to threaten violence to John Flood, late of Callen,
in the counts', of Kilkenny, &c. and Lords Melbourne and Dun-
cannon, and Mr. Spring Rice, were charged with aiding and
abetting the said Lord Morpeth, &c. &c. Flood loudly coin-
pinined at the clerk's refusing to pass his indictment, which he
,said was done at the instigation of his Majesty's ministers.
