PRE WEEKLY CHRONICLE to its Readers
1 and the Public, on the opening of Parliament, Fenn-

ary I, r 844.
On the eve of a Session of Parliament, which, if it do not
terminate the struggle, must, at least, be looked on as the
herald of the advent of Free Trade, in which the pacification
of Ireland must be placed in contrast with the possible alterna-
tive of civil war, and the threatened dismemberment of the
empire—in which the grand battle of Civil and Religious
Liberty will have once more to be fought, on the question of
Educating the People—and in which the Government must be
called on, amidst its exultat ions on the state of the Revenue, to
say not only from what oppressive sources, and by what inju-
rious expedients the income has been derived, but in what
manner it has been expended,—the WEEKLY CHRONICLE
once more submits its claims upon the continued support of its
old Subscribers, and upon the more extended encouragement of
a larger share of public patronage, from the accession of new
friends.
Tho WEEKLY CHRONICLE is now printed on superior
paper of the largest size, containing more reading matter than
any other London Weekly Paper. Great care is bestowed on
the condensation and arrangement of its General News and
Parliamentary Intelligence, of which it gives a much fuller and
far more satisfactory summary than any of its Contemporaries.
And this it is enabled to do from the principle on which its
contents are selected and adjusted; for while the WEEKLY
CHRONICLE will be found to give due attention to Litera-
ture, Science, the Fine Arts, the Drama, and even to Sporting
Intelligence, so far as this latter can be said to interest the
General Reader, neither Spo:ting, nor any other feature of
minor interest, are allowed to supersede the proper objects of
a Newspaper—those subjects of breathing, living import to the
Progress of Society, and to the Weli-being of the People
throughout the whole length and breadth of Home and Co-
lonial England.
The WEEKLY CHRONICLE will, therefore, continue to
scrutinise the conduct of Men in Office—to record Political
Facts as they arise, whether within or without the Walls of
Parliament—to warn its Readers of the Coming Event before
its Shadow is cast broadly across the public foot-path ; and in
all other respects to fulfil its purposes as a Newspaper, identified
at once with a Party, and with the People—with the Party of
Practical Reformers, and with a People seeking the common
good of all.
The WEEKLY CHRONICLE has been the constant
Organ and Advocate of these principles for many years ; and
has been thought to have done good service, in critical times,
upon questions materially affecting the public welfare. It is the
Advocate of Extended Suffrage—of the Ballot—of a Shortened
Duration of Parliament—of Free Trade—of Systematic Colo-
nization—of the Education of the People on the principles of
Civil and Religious Liberty—of a Re-Adju tment of the Reve-
nues of the Irish Church, and of other measures of Justice
calculated to consolidate the Union—of Peace at Home and
Abroad—of a Repeal of the odious Income-tax, with a Reduc-
tion of the Expenditure ; and, not to extend the catalogue, it
may be said that it treats all other Public Questions in a kin-
dred spirit and tune, whilst its means of information may be
judged from the fact that it was, among other instances of
early intelligence, the first to announce to the world the Visit
of the Queen to France, and the determination of the Govern-
ment to arrest O'Connell and his friends—both which facts
were announced in the WEEKLY CHRONICLE for several
days before.they were communicated to the Government Press.
Arrangements have been made for bringing down the News
contained in the WEEKLY CHRONICLE to a much later
date than usual, in som.. instances anticipatine,c, the average of
last year by a week ; and to effect this, every department of the
paper has been scrupulOusly revised, and efficiently re-con-
structed. For the convenience of our friends, the three fol-
lowing editions are published; and, by attending to these direc-
tions, the substitution of any other edition for the one preferred,
and for which the order should be distinctly given, may be
prevented :-
1. An Edition for exclusive circulation in the provinces on
the Saturday marked " Country Edition."
11. An Edition for circulation in London on the Saturday,
and in the country on the Sunday : marked " Town and
Country Edition."
3. An Edition for exclusive circulation in the Metropolis and
its environs on the Sunday : marked " Town Edition.'
The price is 6d., for which the WEEKLY CHRONICLE
may be obtained of all respectable newsvenders ; and by post,
paid in advance, at a subscription of 265. per annum, 13s. the
half-year, and 6s. 6d. the quarter.
Sold by all newsvenders in town and country.
