[Advertdsement-1_Txur TunIP OR BLACK FLY.-In a coun. try free and enlightened as our own, real merit generaUy receives the approbation and support of the prudent and the wise. Tbis, we ate happy to say, is fully exemplified in the patronage experienced by Mfr. button, of Fisherton Anger near Salisbury, fer his discovery of a certain method to destroy the 'iurnip Fly. The list of subscribers to his pamrphlet has swollen to a considerable length; and It has recently received the names of some of our most distinguished agri- calturists. In fact, his method is so simple, and so certain to de- stroy these destructive intsects, that the slightest acquaintance with it proves at onceits value and utility. indeed, we are so fully con- vinced of its being successful, that we with more than usual confi- dence advise every one who has an interest in agricultural produce, to assist in remunerating Mr. Sutton, by becoming a subscriber to his cheap but invaluable pamphlet. Ar. Sutton las received letters fronm several eminent agricultmrists, to whom he has imparted the secret of his methed, expressing their full conviction of its unerring principle and certain result. The following letter is from a gentle. man eminentfor his great agricultural knowledge:- " ln London, April 147 1824. "Sir,_l am much obliged by your favour, communicating to me your discoveryof the method to be pursued for the destruction of that voracious and abominablv annoying insect-' The Chrysomela nemorum,' commonly known to the agricultural woild dy the name of" The Turnip Fly.' Yourplan is at once simple and efficacous and when generally proniulgateA will enable the farmer to bid defi- ance to this at present serious pest: vou have one great assistance in vour favour, viz., there is scarcely a single grower of turnips thalt -when informed of the method to be adopted, will not acknowledge his having repeatedly proved its truth, without being aware of the circumstance, owing to his ignorance of the natumral history of the in- sect. I hope to learn that your subscription, which is only too mo- derate, will be filled with the names of all interested in azriculture and that I shall live to see you presented with the gold medal of tlhe Society for the Encouragement of Agriculture, Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, as a preparatory ste p to a reward from Parliament for your invaluable discovery. lVith thanks for your confidence in making me acquainted wvith your plan, and particularly for your per- mission to communicate it to my friends, "I remnain, Sir, your obedient humble servant, "IJOHN HALL, " Of Little Marshall, Ide, near Exeter, Devon." "Mr. John Sutton."

By His Majesty's ship Cameleon, last from Vera Cruz and Havannah, advices have been received from Mexico to the 4th of June. At that date nothing had been heard of ITuRlu De. It is stated, that a strong feeling in his favour existed among the priesthood and the military, and that he was likely to find numerous adherents amiong both those classes, providel no suspicion existed of a secret design on his part-to deliver over the counitry to FERDINAND. The least suspicion on that head, it is added, would in- fallibly prove fatal to him. The Executtive at Mexico issiedi, on thle 29th of May, a proclamation, the object of I*hich'appears to be, though his name is not men- tined, to put the people on their guard against the in- trigues of the partisans of t p!e ex-Fmperor, anl in which Some appre sion is betrayed of his ultimate success, roir"pjrsonsg supposed to be emissaries of ITUnBIwDE, had beet ariested atAlvarado. A French brig of war had arrived at this port with; a comrnissioner on board from France, named SmafUE>, charged with assurances of the fiiendly dis- position of the French Government towards Mexico.

The decree of the M1exi- can Goyernment, prohibiting all inteTcourse Witvh'Cub'a, is said to be rgidly enforced, to the great injary of the trade of that island, and the discontent of the merchants. The Cameleon has brought a freight of 400,000 dollars in specie.

Sir,-Flaving read in your paper of this day, a paragraph eppa- rently copied from some other paper relative to AIr. Went's performr- ance of Richard at the Surrey Ttheatre, fbr the benefit of Mr. Buckingham, in which it is said that " shouts of laughter, inter- mingled with some slight hisses of condemnation, accompanied the representation of that arduous part throullh the performance," and having been present at the lstter half of iie plzy, I think it just to Mr. Kent to say, that as far as relates Lo that gentleman's perform- ance, during the time I was present, the statement is entrely falsa. At thesame time, I do not think that MIr. Kent performed t'e d=h- racter so well as he did utkid second :sppearauce at Covent-garden Theatre. Indeed, I do not see how it was posible for any one to have acted the character well, considering the continual noise theze was in the house.

Sir,-The readiness with which any public cause is spiritedly ad- vocated by you, has induced me to send you the following observa- tion; and should it deserve your more particular attention, you are at liberty to make what use of it you may think proper. Having occasion the other day to look over the imperial Calendar for 1824, 1 saw, with deep concern, the name of Henry Fauntleroy, Esq., as treasu:er to two charitable institutions of acknowledq:ed uti- lity-viz. "1 Queen Charlotte's Lying-in Hospital," and " the London and Wcstminster Infirmary for the treatment of cutaneous diseases." Now, without wishing to attach wilful neglect to those who intrusted Mr. Fauntleroy with the money contributed for the relief of indigent sickness, or even accasing Mr. Fauntleroy as a de- taulter connected with the above institutions, I may be allowed, Mlr. Editor, to say, that those who have the manage!ent of such aifairs cannot be too circumspect in their selection of a responsible treasurer; for, tbough I am readv to admit that iMr. F;untleroy moved in a highly respectable sphee-such as, iideed, to casual o0. senvers, would appear to warrant the confidence so fatally placedl in hirn,-.yet it was generally observed by his most intimate acquaint- a-ice for sonme time previous to the late expos' tlhat his style of liv. ing was enormously expensive inleed. Mr. hlIarsh and the other partners of the firm were completely to be contasted with Air. Fauntleroy in that respect; and I do say, that it is a most lament. able circumstance th-t the ends of charity should be defeated, and that money comtributed for benevolent purposes should be trans. ferred to another over a gaming-table, or lavishly expended in riot. outs feastinss. ll r. Editor, I leave the subject to some more eligible person to Rive an account of the state of the funds in the hands of AIr. Faunt-. lroy; andI I amn sure any gentleman connected with eitber of the above institutions will feel It his incumbent duty -to give the contri- butors an account of how tnuch money has been lost by the late un- happy failure, er (vrhich would be certainly much more gratifying) an assurance that their benevolence has net been defeated of its ob. ject by an indiscreet selection of their fundhelder.

Tbe good notes are printed on fine paper, and on both sides-on one side in French, and on the other in English The forged notes are done on common paper, apparently with a pen, and have pieces of paper pasted oa the backs. They have an old defaced appesarnce, and can be detceted on minute exanmination by the irregularity of the printing, as also, more particularJy, by raising the paper pasted on the back, and by observimg whether they are printed in the samne manner ax tbe good notes.

Sir,-As I know your wish to serve the public, and the value of roomaut this partlicular pexiod, I will compress rvhat I have to say into the smallest possible compass. As the present worthy Lord Mlayor is exerting his influence to di- minish the inconvenience attendant upon unnecessary obstructions in the thronged streets of the city, and which are still under conri. deration, I beg to point out to his Lordshlp one-of great magnitude, and hourly eccurrence, and at the same time to suggest a remedy. Every person passing through that important and crowded street, Cheapside, must be astonished at the cool impudence with which coachmen and carmen place their horses and vehicles across the foot- way openings into that great thoroughfare, and there wait till the in. numerable passing cartiages are cleared off, so as to allow them to get into the main street, to the frequent long detention, and conse- quently serious inccOvenience, of those who are passing on foot. Now, as there are ten or a dozen streets which open into Cheap. side, the evil complainei of is of constant recurrence and as the custom of placing horses and carriages ir. the position I have pointed out, is finable by iMr. Taylor's Act, as well as by the old laws of the city, I would recommend that a short notice to that effect, with the amount of the fine for which offhnders are liable, be p laced at the corner of each street which opens into the great thoroughfares of the metropolLs, as a warning to individuals to avoid a practice con- trary to law, and so greatly inconvenient to the commercial popula- tion of the cities of Londoni and Wvestminster. This would enable the public to enforce the law themselves I and street,keepers in parti- cular should be stric:ly charged to summons offenders, under pain of being dismissed from their situations. *Vhile on the subject of inconvenience sustainedl by the public, allow me to ask if Government, or thos e employed under them are exempted from the operation of Alr. Taylor s Act ? If not, wly is tlielarge spacebeforetltebuildings now goingforward adjoiningthe Treasury left without a boarded substitute for the foot pavement, as is usual in other places similarls situated ? This was the case before those beautiful buildings at Palace Yard, till Parliament was about to assemble. Is Government too poor to bear the expense of affording the public this usual and necessary accommodation ? for at present, in pas-ing the former placei they must wade knee-deep in mud and water or, is it mac3nt as an indication of the severity with which every practical plan at economy is carried tito execu. tion Possibly, were hr nortfor the latter consideration, thelong foot-way crossings at Mhitehall, Privy Gardens, and Palace-yard, might be paved w ith squarcf&cea granmte pebble, a hich would be a great convenience to all who are not paid for ridinir in their own car- I kn- A- . lir.

Never was there seen in loc-te Video so mouidful a spectacle.

lVe received yesterday letters from Valparaiso (Chile) of the 21st of May. From these we colfct that the cxpe- dition against the island or' Chiloe, by General FRFYRE, has miscarricd, as several. of the ships engaked as trans- ports to attend it had returned, and apprehensions are expressed by the incrcantile letters f6o the safety of the remainder; No public notice on the subject hd, howeverx been issued by the Government. Intelligence had reachdd the Chilian capital of the departure of the Asia and the otlher ships of War from Cadiz, but no tidings. hal arrived of their having passed Cape loin. Mr. Rowcaorr, the Consul-General for Peru, had arrived at Santiago, after having crossed the South Ameriecaa. continenxt from Buenos Ayres, with considerable danger and difficulty. He was to proceed to Lima forthwith in His Mvajesty's bhip Canzbridge. The accourtsjfrorn that city only come down to the 18th of April, at which time the Spaniards were in quiet possession; and should that occu- pation continue up to the period of the Consul's arrival, it would place him,: without 'doubt, in a very delicate aisd embarrassing SitUiuoll-Mnat 01 ueterminin, W.WLIUL --dU- "' thorities in Peru"' his credentials were to be presented. The $psniards in Lima had treated the commercial interest with some degree of forbearance, well aware that their cof- fers would have a better chance of being filled by duties thlan by Seizure. Oin goods in store at Lima, a duty of 12 per cent. had becn imposed; antl by the new tariflf articles of importation in general were adinitted at a duty of 36 per cCtlt.

The Frenel papers of MNonday, which arrived last night, are ehiefly filled with political discussion aiid literary ar- ticles. 'I'hcy announce that they will 'ot appear on the following day, owing to the solemnity of All Saints. We subjoin an extract from the Moniteur, with some adtitional particulars relative to Sir F. ADAM'S visit to Napoli di Ro- mania:- "ZANTE, SEPT. 22. It wason thc 17th of this month that Ibrahim Ber, son of tiehemet Ali, the Viceroy of Egypt, and dl. L-, calring hiai- self Aide-de-Caimp of General Grouciy, who abjured Christianity for tlAc religion of .Mahomet, arrived at Napoli di Romania, where they are treated as prisoners of war. The Ottoman ships on boavrd of whichi they were, had 8 millions or Turkish piasters in gold and in paras. The joy ofthe Greeks is extreme. -t was General Sir F. Adam, Lord Et ighCommissioner,who repaired to Napoli di Romania on board a ship of the line, atten.ed by two British frigates. His Excellency was accompanied by hiis lady.who,being a G reek by birth, a native of Corfu, and quite devoted to the cause of the Greeks, was able to serve as his interpreter. A salute of 191 guns announced their arrival, and the same number was returned to the standard of the Crots, which was solemnly recognized and proclaimed as the legiti- mate flag of regencrated Greece, the name under whieh it was origi. nally celebrated by Mvl. Pouqueville in his history, which will be heneeforward our national monument. After thcse reciprocal honours, it was agreed that thle Gceeks should restrict their proclaina. tion, confining themselves to seizing without being allowed to destroy or centiscate the vessels laden with tooops or ammunition andl provi. 6ions for the Turks; the captors being bound to pa) the captains the freights agreed UponI with the Ottoman *iovernment, or any of its .egents. " Sir F;cderick, when we saw him on his return lhere, seemed wuuch satisfied with the reception given him by the Greei( Govern. reset of Nspoli. "OCTOBER 1. On the 23d of 5eptember, the Floridll, Bsregg, arrived here from London, with the third instalment of the loan, amlounting to 1,800,000 franics. " The aced Patriot Vareaki (he is 80 years old) sailed fron L,erna on the 20th in one of his ships, under the Russian flag, to ask of the Greek Government at Napoli to give Navarinio to his countrymsen, the Ipsariots; in whiclh case hIe will build houses and repair the fortress at his own expense."
