ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK.

The Proprietors feel that they have only to give the names
of Havter, Chalon, Latina, and Stewart, as the Painters em-
ployed- for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure
themselves of the conficisive 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
suiliicent harranty 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 bo lavished on the undertaking►. The same pencils,
the same pavers, employed to minister to the tastes of die
highest and richest in the land, will labour for the gratification
of the humblest Englishman—the painter for the Court will Ise
tho 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 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 in the basis of oar 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 tailing 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-subscribers the price of one Portrait will be 11. Is-6d.

STOPPAGE OF THE IMPERIAL

BANK.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.

We regret to have to announce the suspension of pay-
ments by the Imperial (Joint Stock) Banking Com=
pany, whose head office is in this town. The report
was circulated on 'Change this morning, and the rumour
speedily spread throughout the town. The result was
that a slight "run" was caused, and to all appli-
cants for cash payments, the answer was, " call
again at three o'clock this afternoon." Three o'clock
came, and many anxious creditors went doubtingly to
the Bank, where the awful truth of the morning's
rumour was too truly confirmed by the appear-
ance of a note on the inner door, informing the
public that the Bank had suspended payment " for
the present." The stoppage is attributed to the
refusal on the part of the London Correspondents,
(Messrs. Prescotts) to honour the paper of the Im
perial bank, but nothing authoritative is known upon
this head. The bank commenced business on the 26th
December, 1836, with eight branches, and has latterly
been the theme of conversation amongst the
" scandal mongers," with reference to some of
its transactions. It had been in a tottering
condition for two or three days, and some
statements made before the Commissioners under
the fiat in bankruptcy against Mr. Joseph Lees,
of Newton-moor, near Ashton-under-Lyne, have been
" buzzed about" within the last few days, and caused
considerable discussion.

Not a little " table talk" has been afloat for the last
fortnight respecting the forthcoming disclosures at the
meeting of the shareholders of the Northern and Central
Bank, which takes place to-morrow, with respect to the
" split" which has recently taken place amongst some of
the officials in that concern. The meeting has been
convened by circular in the usual course.
