THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE
NATIONAL GALLERY.
Tuul4r;Eput4To4. 1-II,RS THE . WEEKLY
InIE PEOPLE CT THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.

The Proprietors of the " WEEKLY CHRONICLE," en-
couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, hay.)
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 ether
natne, less comprehensive, would be found unworthy of the
extent and high purpose of the undertaking, as well as of the
surpassing beaut with which it will ins 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 epochin 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 GA L-
LE R Y," the Portraits of those Public Men 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 recently presented to the Readers of the
WEEKLY CHRONICLE."

The Publication of the GALLERY will proceed in the fol-
hr‘ing order :
DUKE or WELLINGTON. LORD LYNDHURYT.
LORD GREY. MR. O'CONNELL.
SIR R. PEEL. DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBEE.

MR. WILBERFORCE.

LAND.

LORD DURHAM. LORD LEICESTER.
THE SPEAKER. LORD SPENCER.
HER MAJESTY. THE QUEEN DOWAGRR.
LORD MELBOURNE. SIR JAMES GRAHAM.
DUCHESS OF KENT. MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL.
,LORD FITZWILLIAM.
DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND. !LORD. STANLEY.
MARQUIS OF NORMANSE. !LORD MORPETH.
LORD BROUGHAM.
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 •f THE WEEKLY
CHRONICLE will be that of ' other papers—namely, Six-
,pence. To those, however, should there- he 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 presenttime, at less than Five Guineas.
Every precaution has been taken by the Proprietors to be pro-
vidAl with a supply—great as the demand must-necessarily be—
by the erection of steam macninery on tne nremises. at the out-
lay of several thousand pounds. Specimens of tne 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, Latina, and Stewart, as the Painters em-
ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at
Once
assirethemselves of the confidense 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 be found the names
Brown,
given hall,
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, H
&e. &e. to,. Hence, the Publishers have, theyli' conceive,
suffiicent 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 Rill 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,
hwill labour for the gratification
of the humblest Englishman—t e painter for the Court will be
the painter for the Cottage.
MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE WORK.
The Projectors of the NATIONAL GALLERY feel that
the and nobler consi-
plat endlaeyntscurppreirstieciinalviyohp-ersesdeenetp
etrhemselves. It is
ir contem
derations than
that a work of such an extent, executed with
scarcely possible
all thc
nfluence— high
an refinements of
kaFt., should not assert a great moral
deuce working for good; and tending at once
i
to improve the mind, and elevate
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. 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 subsc • er 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
Kingdont—a method rendered indispensable from the impossi-
bility of making any arrangements, in so gigantic an undertaking
for the supply of casual subscribers.

DROPSY CURED.—Read the Essay on
the above Disease (price Threepence) lately published ;
by a PHYSICIAN and M. 11. C. S., who has discovered a new
and unerring method of treatment, which is perfectly safe and
successful in all the varieties of that distressing complaint, as
reference to patients will satisfactorily prove; hundreds during
the past and present year having bees permanently cured, the
majority of whom had been considered beyond all hope by their
medical attendants, the happy result of the new method proving
deyond doubt its great superiority over all others.

HAIR, EYEBROWS, MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKER.
DEVIOND is happy to say he has discovered
a method of staining the hair to seven different shades
from a black to a very light brown—without staining or in-
uring the skin, and will much improve the hair. It cannot
be had at any other house. When applied for, send a small
piece of hair for the shade required. Dimond also recom-
mends his Balsam for strengthening. and. preventing the hair
from falling off, which will have. the desired effect the first time
of using. Likewise his Jessamine Cream, which no lady or
Gentleman should be without,. for beautifying and preventing
the skin from Chapping, and it is particularly recommended in
thenursery, and to schools, or for gentlemen after shaving. This
beautiful composition, if constantly used, will prevent wrinkles,
and give the complexion the appearance of youth ; it surpasses
everything now in use.
j. DIMOND'S new invented PERUKES, so perfect an
imitation of nature that the hair may be parted to show the
skin of the head, and so tight that it can be made to weigh only
one ounce, and to adhere most pleasantly to the head.. •

FATAL ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held
yesterday on the body of the man (and not two men, as has
been stated) killed by the falling of a vat at Messrs. Han-
bury's brewery. A verdict of " Accidental death" was
returned.

A worthy gentleman, living in the Rue St. Ho-
nore, was mounting his staircase the other day, when ho
met a man coming down with a large bundle under his
arm, and who, on seeing him, appeared rather confused.
He accordingly asked him what he wanted there, and he
replied that he was looking for a bureau of the Mont de Piete.
The gentleman, after informing him that there was no such
bureau in the house, but that he would find one a few doors off,
asked him why he wanted to go to such a place, and learned
from him ;in return that he had recently arrived in Paris
with his wife in search of a place as servants, but not being
able to get situations, was forced to pawn his effects. The
gentleman compassionately put his hand in his pocket; gave
him a five-franc piece, and wishing him better luck, con-
tinued his route up stairs. ne had just got to the land-
ing place of his apartment, when his servant bolted out of
the door, crying Au voleur! Seeing his Master, he asked
him if he had met anybody with a bundle, for that some
rogue or other had got into Lis bedroom, and had just
effected his effected his escape with his clothes and the
silver be had saved out of his wages. The (rood gentle-
man regreted his simplicity when it was too late; neither
the man nor the bundle have since been heard of.—
