A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.

ton Of the work will receive the most careful atte

mad enduring monument to the great men Of he Re.
public.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, Ill collecting Portraits for National Gal
lcry, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need
recommen da'ion. His daguerreotypes are in tie
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenancc.
The drawings and cngravings of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste TO be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those Of the
best artists Of London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in as superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, Is by % inches, ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive i'll its spirit The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have Won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de-
partments Of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men Of the Republic. whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend OF glorious nion will pond to our APP
peal for encourag ment and aid in commend bile
undertaking, that its publication y make era IN
he progress Of American AIT, and by grouping TIE
lnstrious Of the Mon together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As work Of this kind has appeared in America.
and the prices they sustain il Europe would place il
beyond tn. reach OF most of our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore.
established the following

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
| II The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution Of
that body, I" to invite plans accompanied by est-
mates for the extension Of the Capitol and to al
low premium OF five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses Of Congress, ~
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension Of the Capto,
either by additional wings, to be PLACED on the
north and south of the present building, by the
erection of n separate and distinct building, within
| tbs enclosure to the east Of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise Of
| architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such be found necesSary in
which event. the committee also reserve to them
selves the ight to divide apportion, according
TO their own judgment, the amount Of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit Of each part adopted.

owing to the late revolutions and connter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and of which
the end is not yet," the leading periodicals Of Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground between the hasly, dsjonted and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the cab,-
rate and ponderous -sdtses TO be furnished by the his
toran at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem 1t proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
