This is what I want:
Chapter 1 : Introduction
but I always get:
Chapter 1
Introduction
How do I do this?
[Tex/LaTex] Chapter number and chapter title in one line

For the standard classes (article, report, book) you can use the starred version of \chapter which suppresses the number but also the TOC entry, so you hav to add it manually with \addcontentsline
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter*{Introduction}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Introduction}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
\chapter{Chapter 2}
\end{document}
or with KOMA-Script (scrartcl,scrreprt,scrbook) which provides \addchap for this case (and \addsec of sections):
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\addchap{Introduction}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
\chapter{Chapter 2}
\end{document}
I don’t know about memoire’s behavior when using \chapter
The titlesec package allows you to customise the appearance of titles.
EDIT: I updated my solution based on Gonzalo Medina's comment.
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\titleformat{\chapter}
{\filcenter\normalfont\Large\bfseries}
{\chaptertitlename~\thechapter} {0.5em} {}
\begin{document}
\chapter{First chapter}
\lipsum[1-3]
\end{document}
