ITHE WEEKLY CHRONICLE
NATIONAL GALLERY.
THE PROPRIETORS OF " THE WEEKLY CHRO-
NICLE" TO THE PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.
The Proprietors of the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE," en-
couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, hava
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.

OBJECTS 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 iecent.ly presented to the Readers of the
" WEEKLY CHRONICLE."
The Publication of the GALL

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 First Number of THE NATIONAL GALLERY
will be published on the Ist of July next, and the correspond
ing Memoir on the Bth.; 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-
vithd with a supp!y—great as the demand must necessarily be—
by the erection of steam macmnery on tne nrenuses. at the out-
lay of several thousand pounas. Snecimens of tno Portraits
will be found at the principal Newsvenders throughout the
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 confiderrm 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 enter•
prise. Among the Engravers will he found the names of H;
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. HoII, Brown, Hall,
Sze. &c. &c. Hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given
suffiicent warranty 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
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 humblest Englishman—the painter for the Court will be '
the painter 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. It is
scarcely possible that a work of such an extent, executed with
all the high refinements of art, should not assert a great moral
influence—an 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 greatness, and of the consequent value
of his country ;of her gigantic power—her moral might.
her triumphs over rival natiors. He 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 m 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 persons desirous of receiving this magnificent work with
regularity and certainty, should immediately give their orders
to the various News-agents and Booksellers throughout the
Kingdom—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.

HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS THE GRAND
DUKE OF RUSSIA...- Her Majesty's steam yacht Firebrand
is being hastily fitted at Woolwich dock-yard with a poop
cabin on her quarter-deck, and other accommodations, this
magnificent vessel being ordered to attend the Grand
Duke on an excursion round the coast to visit the Royal
dock-yards.
WAR IN THE EAST.—We learn that accounts
have been received from Alexandria up to the 7th of
May, stating that intelligence had arrived from Damascus,'
up to the 27th of April, that the forces of the Sultan had
crossed the Euphrates at Bic, and having thrown up some
more fortifications there, had continued their advance.
The Egyptian forces in Syria under Ibrahim Pasha were
being concentrated at Aleppo, which is sixty miles distant
from Bic; but Mehemet Ali had sent orders to Ibrahim
Pasha not to make any movement, unless he received cer-
tain intelligence of the advance of the Sultan's forces; but
if that fact was positively confirmed, be was to take his
measures accordingly.
We understand that before the Hon. W. Ashley,
who waited on Queen Adelaide on her arrival, left the Hast-
ings on the same morning for the shore, ber Majesty pre.
sented to him the appointment, vacant by the death of Sir
Herbert Taylor, of Governor of St. Katherine's Hospital.

casioned the attendance to be very thin; business, too, was
excessively flat, and was unmarked by any feature of import-
ance. With the exception of one bet of 50, between the Grey
and the field for the Cup, the only race mentioned was the
Ascot Stakes, for which Industry became the favourite at 4 to
1 (taken).
The Bloomsbury affair was again the engrossing topic; Lord
I Lichfield having given in an objection to him for the Ascot
Derby (this day), and the 200 sous. Stakes on Thursday, in
both of which the Corsair is engaged. Lord Exeter is reported
to have tendered a similar objeetion; so that should either of
these Noble Lords run second, there is a chance that the in-
quiry will come before Lord Errol and the Stewards of the
Jockey Club, who are associated with the Noble Earl in the
stewardship of Ascot Races; in this instance the proof will rest
with Mr. W. Ridsdale, the objection having been made previous
to the race. As Bloomsbury's stakes arc fixed, there is proba-
bility that the question of pedigree will be decided by a more
competent tribunal than a Court of Law.
The following are all the bets we heard
:

LORD BROUGHAM AND LORD

The accompanying Note has appeared to the Fourth
Edition of Lord Brougham's Reply to Lord John Rus-
sell's Letter to the Electors of Stroud, on the Principles
of the Reform Act.

(Note to p. 12, 13.)
ON THE JAMAICA BILL.
There perhaps never was so gross a delusion as that
which has been practised with success on some worthy
Abolitionists, and through them on the country, respect-
ing this Bill. It never was dreamt of by its authors as
anything in the Negro's favour ; on the contrary, it was
represented by some of the Government supporters,
when wishing to obtain votes, as against the Blacks, and
as the best means of keeping them out of the Assembly.
It is positively stated that a man promoted by the Go-
vernment, and high in their favour, gave this account
of it to an eminent Member connected with the West
Indies, hi order to obtain his vote. Indeed, Lon- could
a Ministry that had opposed every attempt made last
Session in favour of the Negroes, and always upon the
ground of not interfering with the Colonial Assemblies
ever expect it to be believed that they were influenced
only by regard for the Black people ?
Can any man of common sense doubt that the way
really to help the Negroes and restrain the Assemblies,
is to make in the British Parliament whatever laws the
interests of the former require, if the latter will not do
their duty ? What is there that the Dictators proposed
to be named under the Bill could do for the Negro,
which Parliament could not do without suspending the
Constitution for one hour ? Besides, this constitutional
method would apply to all the Colonies ; the clumsy
and utterly unconstitutional plan of the Government
only applici to one island, where a quarrel on a Gaol
Bill happens to exist. It is like asking Reformers to
wait till some borough misbehaves itself, and then have
that one place reformed.

Much consternation prevails in one of the highest
families in the county Mayo, the head of which is told
that his estates are held without any title, and that Mr. C.
will come in for 30,0001. a year. Legal proceedings are
about to commence.—Limerick Chronicle.
The country papers abound with accounts of the
rejoicings, dinners, and illuminations in honour of her
Majesty's birthday last week. Recent political events
have contributed to add increased energy and loyalty to
the mode of celebrating this national demonstration.
Maclaine Vestris is to be the new lessee of Covent-
garden, the contract having closed on Saturday. She will
have an arduous task coming after Mr. Macready, who has
redeemed the character of the national drama.
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—
On the 20th of next month the speed of the mail train on
the London and Birmingham Railway will be accelerated.
The day mail will leave the Euston-grove station at half-
past nine in the morning, and will arrive in Birmingham in
five hours. A stoppage of eight minutes will be allowed
at Tring, ten minutes at Wolverton, three minutes at
Weedon, and nine minutes at Coventry; making a total
of twenty. five minutes occupied by the stoppages, and only
tour hours and thirty-five minutes in performing the jour-
ney of 116 miles six furlongs. The day mail train from
Birmingham will accomplish the journey in the same time,
allowing the same stoppages at the different places above.
mentioned. The night mail train will leave Euston-grove
station at half-past eight, and complete the distance in five
hours and a half ; the stoppages to be for the same periods
and at the same places as those named for the day mai'
trains.

A WORD OF ADVICE TO SPANISH BOND-
IIOLDERS.—The payment of dividends on the Foreign
Debt of Spain was suspended since 1836, and there is
little or no chance of its being speedily resumed. The
holders of Spanish Bonds are, therefore, for some years
to come, to be out of pocket the amount of the interest of
their capital, even if Treasury Bonds or any other paper was
to be given to-morrow for what is called in liquidation of the
arrear dividends. To make the best of a bad bargain is,
therefore, now the question. In order to save as much as pos-
sible out of the fire, my advice to Spanish bondholders in
England and France is to invest the whole amount of their
bonds, or such portion as they think proper to try the
experiment with, in the purchase of national property
—i.e. houses, arable land, pasture grounds, vineyards,
olive groves, &c. &c., sold at public auction in Madrid
for all the provinces, a description of which, together with
their taxed valuation, is regularly pubiished a fortnight or
three weeks before the sale; 25 per cent. of the purchase
money in bonds at the nominal value, i.e., at par, are payable
at the sale, and the rest at 16 yearly instalments, at 2 per
cent. interest in the same bands, which in the markets of
Madrid, Paris, and London, have been at 20 and a fraction
above or below fr)r cash. Such houses and lands arc after-
wards let, and their rent, whether much or little, is an in-
finitely better interest of the capital now lying dead and un_
productive than any other use such bonds can be made of,
or keeping them in expectation of a financial arrangement ;
and even in the event of the Queen's cause succumbi,
and the constitution being abolished, the purchasersng of
national property, especially English and French, are far
more sure of protection, and of their investments being re-
spected, than foreign creditors.
A HORSE POISONED 13y IEIV.--011 Satur-
day morning last a valuable young horse, the property of
C. G. Parker, Esq., of Springfield-place, was found dead
upon the lawn. Mr. Bright, veterinary surgeon, of
Chelmsford, proceeded to make a post mortem examina-

Sirt,--According to appointment, instead of Friday last

Queen's Birth-eve, was observed in these, towns with
more than usual splendour, excepting that the
omitted the Royal 4alute at one o'clock (the first h-eur of
the nautical day). Our stupid local Press does no;,, as
it ought to do, inquire into the cause of this, for the satis-
faction of their loyal readers ; and I regret that indiiposi-
tion prevents me from supplying you with a more detailed
report than you will have from that source, of the grand
meeting on Friday, as if in honour of the Queen's Birth.
day, to address her Majesty.
While on this subject permit me, in the name and behalf
of her Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, to request your
exertions to make our State Parsons observe the approach.
ing 20th of June, " being the day on which her Majesty
began her happy reign." If they will not do !his, they
can no longer expect her Majesty to be the defender, or
rather de fendress, of their faith, all faith being broken be-
tween them, and their only Trinity being Sovereigns, Shit
lings, and Pence.
A-propos, we have here a branch Bank of England,
and are sadly in want of a branch Sun ; for so Church.
hushed is our local Press, that Liberalism has here no
Newspaperia/ organ—no undivided allegiance.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
PLYMOUTH, MAY 25.
Yesterday being the birthday of the te inai-
tants assembled for the purpose of addressingn herh illajestby,
and expressing their admiration of her firmness in main-
taining her own dignity and independence, under the late.
attempt to deprive her of the society of those personal
friends who have always surrounded her since she assumed
her present exalted station—the attempt to rule, only
the country but the Throne, with the iron rod cf Pori ism;
to congratulate her, not on the discomfiture of Sir Robert
Peel as an individual or as a Statesman, but on the dis-
comfiture of that locust tribe, who, not contentedNith
occupying every legitimate political vacancy, would have
the
feelings even into the Palace itself, leaving no green spot
uponati n
g thewhi
existence cht h e eyc of m
of the
soe
l wist hi n
feelings of the great mass of the British people.
It was thought desirable to present a birthday address,
containing the expression of feelings more deep and fervent
than mere complimentary allusions to the day—expressions
which, however sincere, would not have hail thei,. origin in
circumstances so well calculated to excite the grateful and
admiring feelings of the people, as the latti conduct of our
youthful Queen demands at their hands. The chair was,
taken at three o'clock by George Soltau, Esq., Mayor, and
the address was unanimously resolved upon, and was signed
by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting. The resolutions
were moved by Captain Phillips, R. N., Dr. Hamilton,
Thomas Gill, Esq., and R. L. Gwatkin, Esq., and there
was a strong muster of the most influential Reformers in
the town, united in one common sentiment of rejoicing at
the continued predominance of liberal principles in the
administration of the country, and in loyal admiration of
the firmness and patriotism of the Queen, to which alone
the country is indebted for this invaluable boon : at the
same time a lively hope exists that an impulse has been
given to Liberal principles, which will extend to the
Cabinet itself, and that their future measures will show
that they appreciate the confidence of their Sovereign, and
deserve that of the people.
