- -- •

THERE is perhaps no situation in life so full
of embarrassment as when the over- censitivt feel them-
selves compelled to reveal their moral indiscretions, or their physical
imperiectffins, to others. Day after day does the horrot of exposare
accumulate in the morbid imagination, while increasing disease aug-
ments the suffering of the body ;Old the irritability of the mind. Sen-
sible of the anguish thus protracted, we have adopted a system which
long practical experience has proved to be highly successful,and which
precludes the absolute necessity of personal communication with
those who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute
description of the case, written in plain language, will enable us to
treat the patient with delicate secrecy ; and such has been the pecu-
liar nature of our practice, embracing every variety of difficult cir-
cumstances that the most timid may feel encouragement in the oppor-
tunity thus atairded them.
Twenty-five years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases
arising from indiscretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the constitution
may have become enfeebled, enable us to promise a restoration to
health, without any interference with the ordinary diet and habits.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every day,
at their residence; and Patients in the remotest parts of the coun-
try can be treated successfully on their describing minutely the case,
and enclosins a remittance for Advice and Medicine. No difficulty
can occur, as the Medicines will be securely packed, and carefully
protected from observation.

THE 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, hays
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 comprehei.sive, 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 Men who hare most dis-
tinguished themselves during the present century; and wham
labours, whether in the field or the senate, have exercised the
greatest influence upon the age in which hey 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 se s ecently presented to the Readers of the
" WEEKLY CHRONICLE."

,ERY will proceed in the W-

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 TIIE 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.
A Portrait will he delivered with a Paper on the payment of
One Shilling; and at the same time a Ticket, which will en-
title the hohl.er to a Paper and a " Memoir," on the following
week, for " nothing." The first number of " The National
Gallery" will be published on the ist of July next, and the cor-
responding Memoir on the Sth ; 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-
vid2d with a supply—great as the demand must necessarily be—
! by the erection of steam machinery on the premises, at the out-
lay of several thousand pounds. Specimens of the Portraits
will be found at the principal Newsvenders throughout the
United Kingdom. That of his Grace the Duke of Wellington
may, tog_ ether with a Memoir, be received by all Agents by
the 20th of April.
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 confiden:e 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, 11.
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff; W. Holl, Brown,
&c. &c. &c. Hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given
suffiiccnt warranty that no 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 the 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 refinemeas 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 g' catness, 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 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 the regular Subscribers of the " Weekly Chronicle" this
gallery is presented gratis.
To non-subscrib rs the price of one Portrait will be 11. ls. fid.

THE New Arrangements rendered necessary by

8, NEW ORMOND.STREET, BEINFORD.ROW. LONDON.

39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY.—
The Messrs. S. and B. SoLomoxs, Opticians and Aurists
to the Royal Family, are happy to inform the Public, that
arter thirty years' practice they have succeeded in effecting
a most important improvement for Deafness and Defective
Vision. Their invisible voice conductor is constructed
upon such a principle, that when fixed in the cars, it is not
perceived, and in company most severe cases of deafness
are not in the least perceptible. The Messrs. Solomons
are highly gratified to find that numerous individuals of
the highest respectability are daily calling to express their
feelings of gratitude for the great benefit they have derived.
Their newly-invented spectacle lenses give immcdiate re-
lief to weak, dim, and imperfect vision. It is particularly
necessary to observe that the Messrs. S. have no connee.
tisa with persons of the same name, nor with any one «Lo
have, and who are daily endeavouring to imitate them ;
their valuable improvements in the material are secret to
themselves, and are solely confined to their establishment,
39, Albemarle-street. No travellers arc employed.
An inquiry took place on Wednesday bcfOrc Mr.
Wakley, M. P., at the University College Hospital, touch-
ing the death of Joseph Thomas, aged 43, a fishmonger,
who was reported to have died from the tffats of a kick
in the abdomen, inflicted by his wife. A medical gentle-
man deposed that a post mortem examination of the body
had been made, and death was found to ltave been caused
by a rupture of the intestines, which must have been caused
by external violence. A kick would have produced the
rupture, and it might also be the effect of a fall. Joseph
Thomas, a most intelligent boy, the deceased's son, about
six years of age, was called in and examined, but not on
oath. His clear and distinct account of the cause of his unfo:-.
tunate father's death elicited the approbation of the Corou._r
and jury. In substance it was, that his father had been csut
drinking with a policeman, a countryman of his, on '1 hurs.
day, and that while comity, down the steps of the area
with a tray of fish in his hand his foot slipped, and he fell
with his stomach on the edge of the tray. Ile cxelain,ed
to his son—" My dear child, I fear I }rave ruined myself,"p.o
In the evening he beat his wife severely, and
she put up
her leg to protect herself, she being forced on the sofa and
her hands clasped by her husband in one }:and, while he
beat her with the other.—Bridget Thomas was examined,
after having been cautioned by the Coroner, and her stn's_
ment was fully corroborative of that of her son. It vfa,
-
and evident the deceased was a dissipated man,frequently
ill-used her, but she said he was a good father to his chil-
dren. The Coroner said the impressicn that had gone
