STANDING COUNSEL—Edward Rushton, Esq. ENGINEER—J. Mac Neil, Esq., F.R. S. The object of the Company is to carry into effect an Act of Parliament obtained last session, to reclaim and bring into a state fit for cultivation vast tracts of rich alluvial soil on the borders of the above-named loughs, which are now dry or nearly so at low water, amounting in extent to between 30,000 and 40,000 acres. _ _ These loughs are two of the finest harbours in the world; they are situated in the counties of Donegal and Derry, in the north of Ireland, in the immediate neighbourhood of the estates of the great London Companies, a part of the country justly considered as the most thriving. The city of Londonderry is close to some of the lands proposed to be enclosed, and none of them are more than a few miles from it. From this port there is a communica tion by well-appointed steam vessels several times a week to Glasgow, Liverpool, &c., from which ports is is distant but a few hours' sail. The lands in question have been surveyed by Mr. Mac Neill and other engineers of eminence, whose reports concur in stat ing that the proposed reclamation may be effected with cer tainty, at a given moderate expense, within three years from the commencemeot of the work, and with great profit to the subscribers ; indeed tenders have been already made for a part of the work materially below the estimate of the engineer, and to be completed within twelve months. The whole will be reclaimed, brought into cultivation, and onverted into money, within a period of five years. The reports above referred to, with maps, plans, working drawings, &c., &c., may be seen at Mr. Mac Neill's, 9, White hall-place, and at the Office of the Company ; where also may be had a Prospectus, stating the terms entered into with the projectors, and other particulars too long► for an advertisement, according to the terms and conditions of which Prospectus tha shares are offered to the public. When calls amounting in the aggregate to 101. per share shall have been paid, interest will be allowed thereon at the rate of five per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly, and in like manner on subsequent payments as they shall amount in the aggregate to 101. per share, seeing that the land secured by such outlay will be then in progress towardA yielding a return. Applications for shares to be made by letter on or More the 21st instant, addressed to the Secretary of the Committee, 34, Cornhill, and in the following form : Gentlemen—We request yon will appropriate to us shares, or such number thereof as you may see fit to give, in the Lough Foyle and Lough Swilly Embankment Company ; en which we undertake to snake the stipulated deposit of 21. 10s. per share, and otherwise to conform to the terms of your ad vertisement.

The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as no house in London can manufacture at their prices. The Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber dashers, but they snake every article themselves, which enables them confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials, and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about to furnish, as the !only criterion by which the merits and de cided advantage of purchasing at this establishment can be fairly estimated. The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick ness, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.

THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE NATIONAL GALLERY. THE PROPRIETORS OF " THE WEEKLY CHRO- Af i c p .r.k,To_ THE PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH The Proprietors of the g. WEEKLY' CHROPtict...E,•• en _ couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, Nava determined upon the publication of a series of Portraits, ENGRAVED ON STEEL, To be called collectively " THE NATIONAL GALLERY;" this title being adopted from the conviction that any other name, less comprehensive, would be found unworthy of the extent and high purpose of the undertaking, as well as of the surpassing beauty with which it will be carried out. 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 extraordi nary epoch in the history of the English Press. OBJECT'S OF THE WORK. The purpose of the Proprietors of " THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE" is to assemble in " THE NATIONAL GAL LERY," the Portraits of those Public Alen 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 distinguished Women of the Court of Queen Victoria; with whose own Portrait the Gal lery would naturally have commenced, but for the circumstance of its having been so secently presented to the Readers of the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE." The Publication of the GALLERY will proceed in the fl lo ing order : DUKE OF WELLINGTON. LORD LYNDHURST. LORD GREY. 51R. O'CONNELL. Sun R. PEEL. DUCHESS OF NORTIIUMBIIt MR. WILBERFORCE. LORD DURHAM. THE SPEAKER. HER MAJESTY. LORD MRLDOURNE. DUCHESS OF KENT. LAND. LORD LEICESTER. LORD SPENCER. LORD JOHN RUSSELL. DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND. MARQUIS OF NORMANDY. LORD BROUGHAM. THE QUEEN DOWAGER. I SIR JAMES GRAHAM. IMARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE. ( LORD FITZWILLIAM. LORD STANLEY. LORD MORPETH. MODE OF pUBLICATION. To each Portrait will be appended an impartial Biographical Memoir, printed on imperial hot-pressed quarto, uniformly with the Engraving. 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. To those, however, should there be such, who may prefer the Paper without the Engraving or Memoir, the price will be as at present, Fourpence-halfpenny. THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE NATIONAL GALLERY. The Fi st Number of THE NATIONAL GALLERY will be published on the Ist of July next, and the correspond ing Memoir on [the Blh ; so that in each alternate week there will be given a Portrait or Memoir. The work will form a magnificent annual volume in imperial quarto —a volume not to be purchased, at the present time, at less than Five Guineas. Every precaution has been taken by the Proprietors to be pro vidni with a supply—great as the demand must necessarily be-- by the erection of steam maeninery on Inc nremise.. at tee out lay of several thousand nounas. Specimens o. the Portraits will be found at the principal Newsvenders throughout toe United Kingdom. That of his Grace the Duke of Wellington together with a Memoir, may now be received by all Agents and Book ellers. ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK. The Proprietors feel that they have only to give the names of Hayter, Chalon, Latilla, and Stewart, as the Painters em ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure themselves of the confidence of the public, not only as to the worth and beauty of the forthcoming work, but as to the feel ing which animates the Projectors in this national enterprise. Among the Engravers will be found the names of Finden, H. Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Holl, Brown, Hall, &c. &c. &c. Hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given suffiicent warranty that no considerations r,f cost have weighed with them in their attempts to make the NATIONAL GAL LERY worthy of its ambitious tile. Ail that modern art can effect will be lavished on the undertaking. The same pencils, the same gravers, employed to minister to the tastes of the highest and richest in the land, will labour for the gratification of th 2. humblest Englishman—the painter for the Cou r t w ill b e the pointy:: for the Cottage. MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE WORK. The Projectors of the NATIONAL GALLERY feel that their contemplated enterprise involves deeper and nobler consi derations than may superficially present themselves. ft is scarcely possible that a work of such an extent, executed with all the high refinements of art, s'aiuld not assert a great moral influence—ass influence working for good; and tending at once to improve the mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In the NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con tinually reminded of the g , eatness, and of the consequent value of his country ; of her gigantic power—her moral might— her triumphs over rival nations. lie will read in the lives of 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 fo in the basis of our national character. All the ennobling sentiments that constitute the lofty-minded soldier—the wise and generous Statesman—the Patriot —and the Philanthropist, will be felt and acknowledged by our readers ; and thus, in the projected publication, every subscriber to " The National Gal lery" of " The Weekly Chronicle," will have the gratification of possessing at the most trifling cost the most perfect record of his country's glory. All poisons desirous of receiving this magnificent work with regularity and ceatainty , sh ould im mediately give their orders to the various News-agents and Booksellers throughout the Kngdom—a method rendered indispensable from the impossi bility of making any arrangements, in so gigantic an undertaking for the supply of casual subscribers. To Purchasers the price of a Portrait and Memoir will belOs. 6d. Proof of Separate Portraits on India paper, 11. i s. Orders received by all Booksellers and News-agents in the United Kingdom.

The LORD MAYoa received on Friday last, a letter from Mr. WALL, the Secretary to the Committee of the London Chartists, on the subject of the Meeting of the body calling themselves by that, name, in conse quence of which his Lordship appointed to see the Secretary yesterday morning. The Secretary attended yesterday at the Mansion House, accompanied by Mr. Ferrar, a leading man amongst the Chartists. They were both persons of respectable appearance, and very respectful in their conduct. The Loan MAYOR said, that he had sent for Mr. Wall in consequence of having heard that another Meeting of the Chartists was appointed to take place in Smithfield on that evening. The SECRETARY assured the Lord Mayor, that the last Meeting was not held by the 'Chartists whom he recognised as the body whose officer he was, but by persons who arc doing injury to the cause which the friends of liberty were supporting and promoting. The LORD MAYOR observed, that the fact just stated, was an additional reason for the circumspect conduct of those who were generally supposed to be the promoters of the Meetings, and ought to guide them against attending the meeting of that day. They had had one or twn meetings in Smithfield, and he thought they ought to be satisfied with that extent of indul gence. At all events he was determined to put an end to the matter. However harmless the intentions of those who called the meetings, and of those who assem bled, a great deal of alarm was excited in the minds of the peaceable inhabitants of the neighbourhoo I, the free passage along the public highway was obstructed, and remonstrances were made to him for having allowed •so offensive a nuisance to be perpetrated. Mr. FARRER said that the object of the Chartists, whom he and Mr. Wail represented, was not to create disturbance. They had always entreated the people to behave in an orderly manner, and to avoid the slightest imputation of having any idea of violating the law.— Their meetings were not like those which bad been held by Henry Hunt in Spafields, when that gentleman used to address the people, who never separated without breaking windows and doing other mischief. The LORD MAYOR said that calling upon the people to attend the meeting armed, and arms having been brought into and deposited in Smithfield, as he knew was the case, proved quite sufficient ground to convince him that persons assembled there for illegal purposes, and should any disturbance take place the speakers and holders of banners would be implicated in all the conse quences. As the Secretary and Mr. Farrar had called upon him he did not hesitate to tell them that if they met in Smithfield after the proclamation they would incur a serious responsibility. Mr. WALL said that they had no wish to meet night after night as had been' proposed, and that they did all they could to prevent last Monday evening's meetin g , and certainly would nut attend the meeting aApointed for that night. LORD LINDSAY'S LETTERS ON TIIE HOLY LAND.-The whole of this work is well worthy of diligent and attentive perusal by any one who feels an interest in the by-gone glories and future destiny of the Holy Land. It is no more than just praise to say of Lord Lindsay, that he has given us a book which combines instruction and amusement in a very singular degree—exhibiting a just. ness of thought and feeling which would become the ex perience of maturer years. • The account of his Journey to Upper Egypt, and of his visit to all those ancient cities of the Nile, is highly entertaining ; the letters are lively and instructive; enriched by notes and extracts from va rious authors. The second volume is devoted entirely to an account of the author's wanderings in the Holy Land, and the countries adjacent, inclusive of Pore. It is supe rior, we think, to the first volume. We arc not carried away by that Pegasus of speculation and eloquence, which here and acre, is too strong for his amiable master—" We creep aloes by the earth," as is the most fitting where the "place whereon we are standing is holy ground."— Quarterly Review.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Morning Chronicle in commentiag on the course pursued by those who appose tl'e Jamaica Bill on what they call "constitutional" principle, points cut the ab surdity of comparing the Con t:tution of Jamaica with that of England. " There are" says our Contempora-y, " monntains in Macedon and in Wales, and there ace con stitutions in the West Indies and in England," and that is all the resemblance that he can find between them. "We think," he adds, "that those gentlemen who allowed their abstract regard for constitutions to lead them to oppose this bill, have been very ill-advised." So think we, and so perhaps they will themselves one day, find to their cost. The Times confines itself to a brief summary of the de bate on the Jamaica Bill. All the " ability," " clearness," "facility," and "brilliancy" displayed on this occasion are, according to the Times, to be found on the opposite of the House. The Herald makes an anile attempt to lessen the power ful effect which it evidently anticipates will be produced by the magnificent speech of Sir S. Lushiogton on the de bate of last night, and finds everything that can constitute a Demosthenic oration !n that of Lord Stanley. _ _ The Post affects to tie in exstacies at the resait of the division last night, which it thinks a prelude to the rdtre ment of Ministers. The thoughts of the Post are never worth much, and they are particularly valueless in this case, in which they are the offspring of its foolish wishes. Our ill-conditioned Contemporary indulges with its usual generosity in some very unjust and malignant &verve lions on the announced resignation of the Speaker. The Morning Advertiser has some very severe remarks on the conduct of the Radical party in the House of Com mons last nigbt. It charges them with "folly" and "in consistency" in professing "to be Liberals in the utmost sense of the word," and yet wishing to " have the Tories as the Ministers of the effairs of the country, who are %- posed to all improvements, moral, social, and political," while they arc trying " to overturn a Governmeat which has done more good for the country in eight years than,any. that existed during eighty or ninety previous years, simply because it does not go the whole hog of their fancies." A high, but just encomium, is bestowed on Lord John Rus sell's masterly speech. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, MAY G.—Wind, N.

At a Meeting of the Marylebone Vestry yes terday Mr. Kensett called the attention of the meeting to the Rector, Dr. Spry's, determination to litigate with the Vestry, after the Court to which he had already appealed h,d decided against him, for the attainment of fees cn the burial of paupers. "An office," continued Mr. K., " which he never performs, for the burial of those to whom, by him self or deputy, he gives no spiritual consolation in the hour of desolation, or the performance of the l as t sa d office at the grave. This conduct, in his opinion, was deserving the censure of every well regulated mind, and the unqua lified reprobation of the rate-payers. He would move, " that this Meeting call on the Vestry to use every means in their power to put the duties and emoluments of the Rector on a fair and wholesome footing, so that the rate-payers should not have to contribute one farthing more for the support and aggrandizement of a rich and indolent Pluralist than that which bad laws and a worse system forces upon them to observe.' ; The motion having been seconded, was carried by acclamation, and thanks having been given to the Chairman, the Meeting separated. DANGEROUS NAVIGATION OF STEAMERS IN THE Pool. On Saturday afternoon, a barge named the Hampden, laden with 42 tons of coals belonging to Messrs. Moll and Bevan, coal-merchants, of Milford-lane, Strand, and having two lightermen on board to navigate her up s w as sunk off Wapping New Stairs, by the swell occasion e d by the large steam-ship Manchester, going down the river at a speed highly dangerous to the craft and small boats. It fortunately happened that another loaded barge was going up at the time, and was near enough for the two lightermen to jump out of the sinking barge into her, by which means their lives were saved. The coals were all shot out of the barge, which floated again and drove up empty. A barge laden with stone was going up at the same time, and she was also sunk, and the lighterman narrowly escaped with his life. MADRID, APRIL 27.—A robbery of a most singular and savage description was perpetrated here this morning. Two boys, sons of Gaviria, the Queen's tree. surer and banker in Madrid--one six, the other eight years of age—were the objects of this cruel larceny. While at school near the gate of Santa Barbara, a person called at the school and delivered a note to the principal, which stated that M. Gaviria had been taken suddenly ill, and that he wished to see his children immediately. The bearer of this infamous forgery pointed to a carriage which was waiting to take them, requesting that the boys should not be informed of the object of their removal. The prin cipal, suspecting nothing, permitted the children to enter the carriage, which drove off in the direction of the father's residence, but, being out of sight, turned to the village of Hortaliza, about a league from Madrid. They were then met by four men on horseback, who took them off, as it is presumed, to the Guadorama mountains, for the purpose of extorting a large sum of money from their father. The carriage was traced ac far as Hortaliza, and the children were seen there when taken by the men en horseback ; but how thee have been further dis p osed of, or r, hither they have been conveyed, t h er e is yet no informati on whatever.
