THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE
NATIONAL GALLERY.
THE PROPRIETORS OF " THE WEEKLY CHRO-
NICLE" TO THE PEOPLE OF- THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.
The Propriet9re of the WEE.I4.4Y PARONICLE," en-
ceuraged by the still inereasinifpriisperitr or their Joureal,have
determined upon the publication ef a series Of Portraits,
ENGRAVED ON STEEL, -
To be called collectively " THE NATIONAL G AUER Y;"
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 .f the Proprietors of "THE WEEKLY
CH ROI\ ICLE" is to assemble in " THE NATIONA L GAL-
LERY," the Portraits of those Public Men who have most dis-
tieguished 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
.f its haying been se s ecently presented t. the Readers of the
" WEEKLY CHRONICLE."
The Publication of the GALLERY will proceed in the fol-
le • ing order :
DUKE OF WELLINGTON. ILORD LTNAYIERE.T.

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—narnely, Six-
pence. To those, however, should there be such,
',the may
prefer the Paper without the Engraving or Memoir, the price
will be as at present, Fourpenee-halfpenny.
THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE NATIONAL GALLERY.
A Portrait will be delivered with a Paper on the payment of
Ono Shilling; and at the same time a Ticket, which will en-
title the holder to a Paper and a " Memoir," en the following
week, for " nothing." The first number of " The National
Gallery" will be published on the Ist of July neat, and the cor-
responding 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-
vidAl with a supp!y—great as the demand must necessarily !ac—
hy the erection of steam rnacninery on tne nremises. at the out-
lay of several thousand pounds. Specimens o. the Portraits
will be found at the principal Newsvensiers throughout the
United Kingdom. That of his Grace the Duke of Wellington
may, together 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 llayter, 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 cf the forthcoming work,ibut as to the feel-
ing which animates the Projectors in this national enterprise.
Among the Engravers will be found the names of Finden, IL
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Holl, Brown, llall,
&c. &c. &c. Hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given
sufflicent 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. Thy same pencils,
the same pavers, 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 fer 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 refinerner.ts of art, should nut assert a great moral
influence—an influence working for gond; and tending at once
to imifrove the mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In
the NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con-
tinually reminded of the gt eatnees, 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 adv.-
cagy of the most sacred rights of our most common nature—which
to m the bass of our national character. All the ennobling
sentiments that constitute the lofty-minded soldier—the wise
and generous Statesintm—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-
eifisThe Weekly Chronicle," will have the gratification
at the most trilling cost the moot perfect record of

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 pf the " Weekly Chronicle" this
gallery is presented gratis.
To nen-subscribers the price of one Portrait will be 1/. 18.6(1.

ACCIDENT AT WOOLW ICll.—Tuesday, as
Major-General Peter Fyers, C.g., of the Royal Artil.
lery, Woolwich garrison, was driving his carriage towards
the seat of Lord Viscount Sidney, at Frognal, on turning
a corner rather sharply round, the wheels became locked
which immediately overturned the carriage.' Mrs. Fyers,
was thrown a considerable distance, where she lay in au
insensible state. The General received some very severe
contusions. Mrs. Fyers MIS immediately conveyed home,
and we are happy to announce that she is not dangerously
injured.

SPRING.—At this period of the year cutaneous
diseases very frequently occur, and thereby shows the. ob_
solute aecessity of preserving the skin in a pure and healthy I
state, so that its functions may be duly performed. Ob-
struction of the fluids through the pores of the skin very
often take place, and from the acrid and ponderous parti- 4
cies which arc left behind, the disordered state of the se.. ,
creting office is disturbed, and thereby produces symptoms
of great virulence, which are not only distressing, but most
unpleasing to the sight ; and, above all others. when the
face is attacked, the suffering is often extremely great.
In stating this well known fact, we beg to call the rea'der's 4
attention to that admirable and unique discovery—Row.
LAND'S KALYDOR, a mild and most efficacious preparation
that dispels all irritability from the skin, gently assias in
opening the pores, relieves the secretions, and gradually
establishes a white and perfect skin of transparent beauty, t
