The Proprietors if the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE," en couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, have 1 tiirertnizted upon the publication of a series of Portraits, ENGRAVED ON STEEL, i To be called collectively "THE NATIONAL GALLERY;" ithi., title being adopted from the conviction that any ether 1211a6, less comprehensive, would be found unworthy of the extent and high purpose of the undertaking. as well as if the vorpgssing beauty with which it will be carried cut. The ap pearance of " THE NATIONAL GALLERY," whether considered as a work of art, or with reference to its easy posses sion by the very humblest of the land, will form an eztraerdi -I:4ry epoch in the history of the English Press. OBJECTS OF THE WORK. The purpose ef the Proprietors ef " THE WEEKLY CH RONICLE" is to assemble in " THE NATIONAL GAL LE RV," the Portraits of those Publio Men who have most dis tinguished themselves during the present century ; and whose labours, whether in the field or the senate, have exercised the greatest influence upon the age in which they live. In addition to these will be given the most di s ti ngu i s h e d W omen of the Celli% of Queen Victoria ; with whose own Portrait the Gal -IPry Would naturally have commenced, but for the circumstance of its having been so t ecently presented to the Readers of the "WEEKLY CHRONICLE."

A Portrait will be published every other Sa turday, the Memoir being issued every alternate week—hence, a Monthly Part will contain Two Engravings, with Two Me moirs. To those subscribers desirous of possessing THE NA TIONAL GALLERY, the price of THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE will be that of other papers—namely, Six pence.

The work will form a magnificent annual volume in imperial quarto—a volume not to benurchased, at the present time, at less than Five Guineas. Every . precaution has been taken by the Proprietors to be pro vi qt with a supply—great as Ihe demand must necessarily be— b, the erection of steam machinery on tne premises. at toe out by t.f several thousand pounds. Snecimens of tne Portraits will be found at the principal Newsvenders throughout the United Kingdom.

The Proprietors feel that they hare only to ere the names of Ilayter, Chalon, Latilla, and Stewart, as the Painters em ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure themelres of the confiden:e of the public, not only as to the tvoi - th and beauty of the forthcoming work, but as to the feel ing v.hi:h animates the Projectors in this national enter-- In - a Among the Engravers will bo found the names of HS Robinson, illote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Hull, Brown, Hall, e. &e. &c. Hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given NNarranty that ne considerations of cost have weighed with them in their attempts to make the NATIONAL GAL LERY worthy of its ambitious title. All that modern art can cfre , .t will be lavished on the undertaking. The same pencils, same gravers, employed to minister to the tastes of the '.-:.nest and richest in fhe land, will labour for the gratification cf ilia humblest Englishman—the painter for the Court will be the Fititer for the Cottage. MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE WORK. The Projectors of the NATIONAL GALLERY feel that their contemplated enterprise involves deeper and nobler consi d,:ations than may superficially present themselves. It is scan.ely possible that a work of such an extent, executed with ai the high refinements of art, should not assert a great moral intitterce—an influence working for good; and tending at once to improve the mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In tis NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con tinually reminded of the greatness, and of the consequent value of his country ; of her gigantic power--her moral might__ her triumphs over rival nations. He will read in the lives .f Englishmen, the irresistible force of British valour—the calm, comprehensive, and determined resistance to wrong—the advo. cacy of the most sacred rights of our most common nature—which in rn the basis of our national character. All the ennobling 'cntiruents that constitute the lofty-minded soldier—the wise and generous Statesman—the Patriot—and the Philanthropist, vll lie felt and acknowledged by our readers ; and thus, in the proj ected publication, every subscriber to " The National Gal eitY" of " Th e W ee kl y Ch ron i cle, " w i ll have the gratification I. ) 2, e 'ae nu _safog at the m os t t r ifli ng cos t th e mos t per f ec t recor d o f " i n ,e t t ry's glory. reg Oar' t sous desirous of recei v i ng thi s magn ifi cen t wor k w i t h to the ,Lariy and o certainty, should immediately give their orders us N Klug"rn—a methwodagentsand Booksellers throughout the tufty o f making n rendered indispensable from the impossi *fat:. arrasnogements, in so gigantic an undertaking price o b a scribers. for the suppl y To Purchasers the =roof o f s eparate p ort.r.i , f tmo P n or i t n ra d i i t a a p n a d pe M r, em li o . ir lz ill bel Os. 6.1. trdersreceived by all Booksellers and News-agents in the .tQ,4 Kiss'dom.

The humble Memorial and Petition of the Churchwardens and Vestry representing the Loyal, Populous, and Wealthy Parish of St. Pancras Middlesex. Sheweth, That this Vestry has heard with feelings of deep indignation that an attempt has been made to banish from your presence the female friends for whom your Majesty entertains affec tion, and thus to render your social station more painful and devaded than that of any other woman in your dominions. That this vile attempt to make your Majesty a state prisoner in your own Palace, to place a spy over every one of your do mestic movements, and to make your Royal office a mere pa geant to be used so!ely for the purposes of a reckless oligarchy, are not in accordance with the Constitution of this kingdom, and are insults which your people, this Vestry doubts not, will re 14 in your Majesty's behalf. That this Vestry, relying on your Majesty'sfirmness and con stitutional principles, dreads not attacks on liberty from the Crown, but from the selfish and ill-instructed part of the Aris tocracy ; and therefore this Vestry humbly prays, That your Majesty will be pleased to call to your councils such Ministers as will uphold the just prerogative of the Crown ; —support all necessary reform in our institutions ;--amplify and freely extend the broad basis of the representa tion of the people in the Commons' House of Par liament, thus forming a bulwark to the Throne, which will prevent us from being trampled upon by a self-seeking oligarchy ; enlarge the bounds of civil and religious liberty, and carry prosperity over your Majesty's vast dominions. And your petitioners will every pray. LONDON : TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1889. who, advancing at a rapid trot from the Rue des Arcis, received the first volley. The head of this detach ment had reached the top of the Rue de la Vauxerie, when a general discharge of fire-arms emptied the sad dles •f the two horses which led the troop ; the re mainder of the platoon immediately turned into the Rue de la Vauxerie, and re-formed itself at some distance. At this moment other detachments of the municipal guard made their appearance upon different points ; several shots were exchanged without producing any fatal result on either side ; the insurrectionists retired gradually from the Place de Greve and the Quay Pel letier, and took the direction of the Rue St. Avoye. At five o'clock the situation of affairs was as fol lows : The three posts which had been disarmed remained shut up and deserted ; the Municipal Guard occupied the Place of the Hotel de Ville and the borders of the river, which aro comprised between the Pont au Change and the Post au Bles. The greatest emotion existed in the quarters of St. Martin, St. Denis, and Montmartre, caused by the rumours in circulation, and the sound of the drums of the National Guards beating to arms. Notwithstanding, no disturbance had taken place in this direction, except in the solitary instance of the pillaging of Messrs. Lepage's armoury. The rioters, to the number of 300 or 400, marching in a long file, directed their steps towards the Boulevard, taking the narrow streets which run parallel to the Rue St. Martin. Up to the hour at which we write the movement which we have described above remains within the limits circumscribed by the Place du Chatelet and the Hotel de Ville. The posts of the Market of the Inno cents and of the Church of St. Eustache have not even been disturbed ; but, from the direction taken by the armed rioters, it is probable that at this moment the Portes of St. Martin and of St. Denis are the scenes of some sanguinary struggles. Seven o'clock, r.m, Nothing has occurred, as we feared would be the case, either in the Boulevards or their vicinity. The centre of the movement has, in fact, been displaced, and at this moment it is concentrated in the lower por tion of the quarters of St. Denis, St. Martin, and Montmartre, which is comprised between the quays on both extremities, the line of passages formed by the arcades of Commerce, Saumon, Grand Cerf, Bourg l'Abbe, and Saucede, and the streets of Montmartre and St. Avoye. Barricades have been thrown up, one near the church of St. Leu, in the Rue St. Denis, composed of an omnibus and a hackney coach turned upside down. A second barricade was formed at the corners of the Rue Montorgueil, and Figuetonne, and several others exist, we are informed, in various quarters. At half-past six the barricade of the Rue Figuetonne was was stormed and carried by a company of the grenadiers of the 3d legion of the national guards, which was supported by a detachmsnt of the 15th infantry of the line. A national guard was wounded ; several of the rioters were made prisoners. A municipal guard was killed at the Rue aux Oes. We also learn that the Officer commanding the post at the Palac• of Justice, together with two soldiers, were killed. Marshal Gerard has taken this command of the gar. rison of Paris. The company of grenadiers which carried the barri cades of the Rue Figuetonne is that of the lit battalion of the third legion. The national guard who was, not wounded but killed, was M. Leroux. According to private accounts the number of killed and wounded was very considerable. Re ports were in circulation that the garrisons about Paris had been tampered with, and that if the Re volutionists succeed in maintaining their ground for seven or eight hours longer they might expect strong reinforcements. From the consternation which prevailed at the Tuileries it was evident that the Government had not the remotest idea that any plot existed for overturning the throne of Louts PHILIPPE. We do not think that the Revolutionists have a chance of success, but their suppression will be at an expense of human life and suffering frightful to contemplate. At the same time all anticipations of any result of an insurrection in Paris are of little worth. A mob easily sets the calculations of political second sight at defiance ; but happen whit may the KING alone is answerable for all the miseries that must ensue. Had THIERS been Premier there would have been no attempt at insurrection. To obtain a personal triumph over THIERS the pedling and intriguing KING of the Barricades has driven France to the verge of social and commercial ruin, and among the natural conse quences is this attempt to hurl him from the throne. It appears that the day of adjournment of the Commons has been altered since Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S announcement in the early part of the evening. It stood for Friday, the 24th, but it appears by the Votes this morning that Lord JOHN RUSSELL ii, to-morrow, to move 44 That the House do adjourn till Monday, 27th May, on which DAY the ELECTION OF SPEAKER WILL TAKE PLACE." Of course every true Reformer will be in his place to ensure the election of Mr. SHAW LB- FEVRE. The Committee of the Lords now sitting on the conduct of Lord NORMANBY is, we believe, pro fessedly a select and secret Committee, yet repeated reports of certain portions of the proceedings have appeared in a Dublin paper, and have been copied into the Times, there garbled, and for aught we know, false statements are evidently put forth to create a prejudice against Lord NORMANBY, whose conduct they describe as so partial and un constitutional, that nothing short of impeach ment will satisfy the ends of justice. Is this fair towards the Noble Marquis ? Is this the sort of justice Lord WHARNCLIFFE would have dealt out to Ireland had the QUEEN been forced to yield to the Orange-PEEL Cabinet ? If there is any foundation for these reports, there must be a breach of trust on the part of some Noble Lord. or some witness or clerk, and in any case it was the duty of the Chairman to call the attention of the House to the subject, yet the practice has been going on for ten days, and no allusion has been made to it. The Orange party are blind to their own interests, and seem unconscious of the fact, that this parti ality will destroy even the small importance which the Irish nation attached to the inquiry. Firebrand M'GHEE thought the fabricated letter about PETER DENS and the Jesuits a capital joke, and possibly the Rodenites may consider this mode of conduct ing a grave inquiry also a joke, but the impartial public will consider the whole proceeding as some thing worse than a joke. Greater excitement existed about the two Houses of Parliament last evening, than we have witnessed since the p er i o d o f R e f orm . Palace-yard and the vicinity of the two Houses were nearly crowded with spectators, and the leading Members of both Houses were cheered or hissed as they passed by the r espect i ve partizans o f eac h. A body of paid Conservatives waited, apparently, on Sir R. PEEL, and conducted him to the House, where his partizans loudly cheered him. Lord J. RUSSELL also was warmly and repeatedly cheered on entering the House. Lord MELBOURNE, WC understand, cheered on his was also respectfully ap proach to the House of Lords. The crowd in both Houses was very great, and in the Commons not a place, except a seat or two in the Members' gal lery, was vacant. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAISIB RIDGE was under the gallery, and every foot of space below the bar had its occupant. Those who were in the House of Commons were not dis appointed, but those who went to witness the pro ceedings in the Lords had the mortification to h ave the House adjourn without hearing any explanation. The Peers collected in great numbers, and collected the public, apparently, only to make fools of all, for after receiving' a few petitions their Lordships ad. journed. The Commons behaved differently. A conside rable number of petitions were presented, and after some manifestation of impatience the expected explanations were entered upon amidst profound silence. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as the Minister of the Cror►n, announced that her Majesty had given her gracious permission to Sir ROBERT PEEL to state the circumstances which led to the fa;lure of the attempt of the Right Hon. Baronet to form an Ad ministration. The announcement looked quite patronizing in Lord JOHN, and his oponent began, on Lord JOHN'S invitation, to give his permitted explanation in a very humbled and sub dued tone. He first disclaimed all the statements which have been made in the Tory journals, and declared that if his wishes had been consulted they never would have been made. With an assumption of generosity Sir ROBERT begged the House two or three times to throw all the blame of any misconception or misunderstanding on him, and as the more prudent course, proposed to avoid all reference to any con versation, which had taken place to which he alone could bear testimony in that house, and to state his case only by the letters which had passed between her MAJESTY anti him. The Right Hon. Baronet first read a letter from Lord MELBOURNE, giving him permission to use the correspondence ; he then stated the facts of the Duke of WELLINGTON having been sent for, and the Duke having advised her MAJESTY to send for Sir ROBERT, chiefly because the difficulties of the Government would be found in the House of Commons, of his having accepted the office of Prime Minister, and proposed to submit to her MAJESTY as the eidef members of the Cabinet, the Duke Of WELLINGTON, Lord LYND HURST, the Earl of ABERDEEN, Lord ELLEN BOROUGH, Lord STANLEY, Sir J. GRAHAM, Sir HENRY HARDINGa, and MR. GOULBURN. In substance, the Right Hon. Baronet's explana tion corresponds with what has already been stated in this Paper, and we observed no new point in it except that it was not till Friday morning, while it has generally been stated to have been Thursday evening, that he received the letter from her MA JESTY, declining to accede to his request to be permitted to remove some of the members of her Household, and consequently after her MAJESTY had communicated with Lord MEL BOURNE, and a Council was held on Thursday night at the Noble Viscount's House. All went on smoothly with the Right Hon. Baronet and her MAJESTY, till he came to ask, or rather to demand, from her MAJESTY a power to remove the Ladies of her Household. He stated explicitly, and he appealed to several of his Right Hon. Friends for the truth of his assertion, that his intention only was to remove those Ladies of the Bedchamber who had political connections ; he de clared that he never dreamt of removing all the Ladies of her MAJESTY'S Household, and he denied indig nantly that he had ever contemplated separating her MAJESTY from the Baroness LEHZEN. To his de mand, however, for the power to remove the Ladies of her Household, which, as Lord Jorm R us- SELL subsequently and pointedly proved, would hereafter have enabled Sir ROBERT PEEL to move every woman from the Palace he disliked, her MAJESTY returned an answer which, from its truth, sincerity, and consequences, deserves to be engraved in letters of gold, and hung up over every hearth in the kingdom, around which the domestic virtues are cultivated. Her MAJESTY said— " THE QUEEN HATING CONSIDERED TILE PROPOSALS MADE TO HER YESTERDAY BY SIR ROBERT PEEL, TO REMOVE THE LADIES OF HER BEDCHAMBER, CANNOT CONSENT TO ADOPT A COURSE WHICH SHE CONCEIVES TO RE CONTRARY TO USAGE, AND WHICH IS RE, PUGNANT TO HER FEELINGS." On receiving that letter Sir ROBERT PEEL gave back into her MAJESTY'S hands the power of forming an Administration, and her Majesty again applied to Lord MELBOURNE. Sir ROBERT then entered into an elaborate vindication of his conduct for insisting on this point, the burden of which was that he must hare the power of removing the Bed chamber Ladies in order to make a powerful im pression on the public and ensure a demonstra tion that he enjoyed her MAJESTY'S confidence. When we heard this part of the statement, we set Sir ROBERT down as little better than a ninny, who sacrificed power, when it was within his reach, to a short-sighted, contemptible, ungenerous greediness. The Government was offered to him ; he and his partizans say that the safety of the empire depends on his accession to power, and he threw away his chance from his desire to remove the Marchioness of NORMANBY and Lord MOR PETIeS sisters from the presence of the QUEEN. Lord JOHN RUSSELL demonstrated, by nume rous examples, that Sir ROBERT PEEL had, by his demand, overstepped the usages of the Constitu tion. He had received, said the Noble Lord, as large powers as ever were conceded to any Minister ; but they did not content him, and he demanded what was repugnant to her MAJESTY'S feelings. Lord JoHN explained to Sir ROBERT that a generous man would only have gained more on the confidence of a high-minded generous woman like the QUEEN, by not press ing such a demand ; and that had he obtained his object, it would only have irritated her MAJESTY, and weakened his own power. These sensible observations, the truth of which visibly affected the Tories, made them retort on Lord JOHN RUSSELL, a loud, chuckling, and bitter laugh. They then felt and knew, if they never felt and knew before, that Sir ROBERT PEEL, from wanting the soul and breeding of a gentleman, had sacrificed substantial power to a silly dread of some Ladies' influence. We cannot conclude, without making our read ers in Ireland sensible how deeply they are indebted to her MAJESTY. The great point of difficulty for his Government, Sir ROBERT PEEL said, was Ireland ; and his great difficulty in governing that country, as he was determined to govern it, in oppo sition to the present kindly policy of her MA JESTY'S Ministers, lay in Lord MoRPETH's sisters, and the Marquis of NORMANBY'S wife being continually with her MAJESTY, and so shielding Ireland from his malice. To those Ladies, then, under her MAJESTY, the Irish are indebted for not having the Earl of RopEN for Lord Lieutenant, and Sir HENRY HARDINGE for a Member of the Cabinet. To her MAJESTY'S kind, generous, and affectionate attachment to her friends, that amiable and noble virtue, to her firmness and correct judgment, the Irish owe their continued preservation from the do minion of the Orangemen. Let them then, and let all the people, fervently pray for the high-minded generous QUEEN. We have no doubt, that at the moment at which we are employed in communicating to our readers an account of the important proceedings of the House of Commons last evening, more than one of the scribes attached to the Tory press are engaged in preparing a flaming announcement to the country of the reception which greeted Sir ROBERT PEEL on his leaving the House of Commons this evening. We have more than once observed, on occasions where there was a probability or certainty of unusual interest being attached to a debate, that Mr. CHARLES Ross has invariably been seen prowling about the purlieus of the House of Commons, and we have as certainly noticed the attendance of a party of shabby-looking idlers waiting at the corner of Palace-yard, attired in an uniform that bespoke their recognition of Mr. BONHAM as their Lieutenant-Colonel. Yesterday this knot was most conspicuous ; we no ticed Lord MELBOURNE and the Marquis of NOR MANBY coming down to the House of Lords, and we observed them, because our attention was called to their presence by the hearty and enthusiastic cheers of a patriotic and impartial assemblage. The knot to which we allude remained compact, and wisely abstained from any demonstration of feeling adverse to that which was manifested by the large mass of people who were present when the Noble Lords passed ; but on the breaking tip of the House of Commons near eight o'clock (when the crowd which surrounded the avenues of Palace yard at five o'clock had dispersed, we still observed the presence of this well organized band, who, on the appearance of Sir ROBERT PEEL, gathered round him in a moment, and escorted him to Privy Gardens, with cheers as loud as their limited numbers could raise. Not a passing observer joined them, no casual pas senger helped to swell the chorus of approval of the conduct of the domineering would-be Premier ; on the contrary, we assert, that the impression of all who saw this scene was, that a band of hired ap plauders attended the welcome, to create an im pression on the mind of the public that PEEL is the favourite of the people. Men of West minster, will you permit the hired servants of the Carlton Club to be the organs of your at tachment to the constituted authorities and the per son of your Sovereign ? But we deviate from our original purpose in making such an appeal: we rather sought to offer an apology for your ab sence in this short account of what took place, and we desired to expose the practices of the Carlton Club rather than attribute want of con stitutional zeal to the inhabitants of Westminster. There is one part of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speed which we hold to be worthy of a special notice He said he knew that he took office under great difficulties, but he was prepared to brave them, in- superable though they were, if he could reform the Household. India was a subject of painful consi deration, but he would - undertake to meet it if he could remove the women. Jamaica was full of difficulties, but he would encounter them if her MAJESTY would allow him to deal with her Ladies. Canada required immediate attention ; he would give it if he could get the women under co.mnand. More than all, Ireland would embarass him, and he could not possibly overcome that diffi culty unless he were allowed to command the Bedchmber-women. He could not get rid of the Bed chamber women, and he gave up the Government. Mighty persons, then, are these women. Not his own indomitable courage in venturing on the Go vernment with a minority of five was to be the main spring of his Ministry, but the Court women. He could not rely on the serried phalanx of Conserva tives at his back, nor on any vacillating Whigs whom he hoped to seduce, nor on the immense number of supporters he has in the country. No, he could only rely on appointing some new Bedchamber women. The pure principles of Protestantism— the steady backing of Oxford—the loud bawling of all the parsons in the empire, could not carry him through, for he had not the appointment of the Bedchamber women. For a quarter of an hour nearly, did the Right Hon. Baronet dilate on the theme, that in this great crisis of the country, he could not save it—all the Conservatives could net save it—the whole virtue and power lay in the Bedchamber women. We have long been of opinion that it is impossible to allow the public closely to examine the machinery of Government without bringing the whole into contempt ; and to hear Sir ROBERT PEEL expatiate on the mighty impression he was to make on the public, by removing a few women from the Court—the wonderful influence, the power of appointing them was to give him over public opinion, made us conclude that the whole was a wretched farce, which has not the merit of exciting laughter or of being well acted. The news from Spain is not of a later date than the accounts received yesterday. ESPAR TERO'S inaction before Ramales was loudly con. deinned. By the arrival of the Liverpool steamer at Fal mouth yesterday from the Mediterranean, we have received Lisbon Papers to the evening of the 6th inst. inclusive, announcing the arrival of her Ma jesty the Queen-Dowager of ENGLAND at that capital. The Hastings, with Queen ADELAIDE on board, entered the Tagus on the 30th ult., where she was received with salutes from the batteries and ships in the river. The Queen of PORTUGAL and her Royal husband proceeded on board, and invited her MAJESTY to occupy apartments in the Royal Palace of Belem, which she de clined. The next day she went ashore, with her suite, when a grand dinner was given to her by their MAJESTIES of Portugal, to which all the principal Nobility were invited. On the sth the QUEEN DOWAGER visited the Infanta DONA ISABEL MARIA. Her MAJESTY was to sail for England on the 7th inst. The ad interim Cabinet continued to direct the affairs of the country greatly to the satisfaction of all parties. The motion for employing Colonel FONTOURA in the Algarves was carried, after se veral days' debate, by a majority of eight in favour of Ministers. Still trade was very bad, and smug gling was carried on to so great an extent as almost to ruin the Customs. So much for the advantages of a high tariff for the protection of borne manu factures. fi+7 , 4, • 14 a4 k NJ , -711-1111 r. ETV .111.1+ THE ERA NEWSPAPER AND THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS.

INSURRECTION IN PARIS I We have received most alarming intelligence from Paris. At 12 o'clock on Sunday night, the date of the latest express, the city was for nine hours in a state of siege, the barricades were raised, and the Hotel de Ville in the possession of the revolutionists. At half-past eleven o'clock an ex traordinary Council was called at the Tuileries, at which the KING presided. The Council Chamber was crowded with Peers, Deputies, Marshals, and great Officers of State. Two field-pieces were stationed in the Court, which was thronged with sol diers under arms. A Marshal at the head of a strong division of horse proceeded to Vincennes to place the Castle in a posture of defence, and to convey a park of Artillery to Paris. It was expected to arrive about one o'clock on Tuesday morning, when a Council of Ministers was summoned to determine the mode of its employment against the revolu tionists. The details of this alarming outbreak are so minutely, and according to the testimony of se veral eye-witnesses, so faithfully reported in the Messager of Sunday night, that we adopt the ac count given in that journal : About three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, a group of more than 300 persons, dressed in smock frocks and leather caps, presented themselves at the house, No. 22, Rue Bourg l'Abbe, where there was a magazine of arms kept by the brothers Lepage. Some of these persons, who were provided with hatchets, set to work and began cutting at the door, but finding too great a resistance they contrived to wrest the stones out from each side of the entrance, and thus speedily forced 'their way into the armoury, whence they took about 150 fowling-pieces. Having effected their immediate pur pose, these individuals quitted the house and proceeded towards the quays on the banks of the river, having reached which they simultaneously separated into several divisions, each of which went a different way, one directing its steps towards the Palace of Justice, another to the Place du Chatelet, and three advancing upon the three points of sentinels established at the Hotel de Ville. These posts, being taken by surprise at this unexpected irruption, which had been preceded by no popular emotion,and which had not been announced by any tumultuous cries, were easily overpowered and disarmed. The two divisions which had seized the posts at the Pa lace of Justice and the Place du Chatelet, being more numerous than the others, marched at once towards the prefecture of police, where, however, they were awaited, the gates being shut, and the municipal guard being on the alert, having been warned by some per sons who were witnesses of the proceedings at the Hotel de Ville and elsewhere. The assailants retired to the Hotel de Ville, where they joined their com rades who were in possession of that post, and who being masters of the place were preparing to defend it by the erection of barricades, of which one, composed of two omnibuses, was already placed on the Quay of Pelletier. These proceedings were the work of a very short time. Orders, however, were sent from the Prefecture of Police, and several detachments of municipal guards, as well foot as horse, were immediately assembled. At four o'clock some platoons of this force advanced from two or three different points upon the square of the Hotel de Ville, where they no sooner made their ap pearance than the men' who were in possession of the place rushed forward in order to defend their position• It was a detachment of the municipal horse guards, THE CHARTISTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,--I beg to call your attention to the arrest of thirteen members of the Democratic Association, which took place at their room in Ship-yard, on Friday evening. On that evening, Sir, it was my intention to visit that room, not because I delight in anarchy and bloodshed, not that I belonged to that Association, for, in truth, I do not, which is merely owing to my procrastination, and not to any horror or dread of its results. Sir, it was mere chance that kept me away, having to work an hour later on that night. And what was my business there? Why to pass an hour or two in discussing the merits of the People's Charter; and not to design or plot against the lives of our brethren. Among the members arrested is a mother's only hope, a fatherless son, and such a son, Sir, as no mother need blush to own. I allude to the young man, Francis Willey, who is a scholar, and in actions a gentle man. Yet, Sir, because he is found in a room where a few cotton flags and a rusty pike have been for the last fort night, he is to be arrested as a felon, and consigned to a prison. Oh, Sir, your Journal is the only daily one that takes part with the working man, and it is to you, and you alone, Sir, that we look for an impartial account; all other daily papers treat us with contempt and laceration. The Sun, and that alone, is our daily reviewer. Then, Sir, for God's sake, are these young men to be the victims of the police, who placed pistols to their heads, stud threatened them with destruction? No, Sir, with The Sun's help the public mind will be disabused, and justice will find its equilibrium. Hoping you will find a corner for this, I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, London, May 13, 1839. G. P. RYAN. HANOVER-SQUARE Rooms.—A very young lady, Mademoiselle Henrietta Roekel, gave au interesting concert at these Rooms on Thursday morning ; it was fully and fashionably attended, and every performance went off with spirit. She played a concerto in A minor, composed by her uncle, J. Hummel, in a manner that left no doubt as to her being at no distant period one of our first-rate pianists. Her fingering is distinct and brilliant. Her brother, Mr. E. Roekel, has attained most extraordinary perfection, both in science'and execution. Balfe, the Russian family Metrovitch, Madame Roekel, Haasman on the violincello, Eliason on the violin, Mrs. Allan, Croft, and others, increased the enjoyment of the morning, and the young lady received the encouragement an English assembly is ever ready to bestow on real merit. Lord Fitzroy Somerset held a levee to-day at the Horse Guards, which was attended by Major-Gen. Sir James Simon, Sir Neill Douglas, Major-Gen. Wright, Royal Engineers, Colonel Dixon, Captain Campbell, and about thirty other officers. Mr. George Robins will make his first bow be fore a Lincoln audience at the City Arms en the 24th instant. It being his first appearance, together with the great renown of the Riseholme estate and hi mse lf, h as ca used a sensation in the county almost equal to the change in our Ministry. The knight of the hammer promises that one of the seats for Lincoln City will reward the purchaser of this fine property. —Lincoln Paper, Saturday.
