ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
n The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution OF
that body, "to invite plans accompanied by esti-
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 Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the 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 as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the light to form such
plan by the adoption Of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such course be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own judgment, the amount Of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
NAV in part be adopted, according to the relative
Importance and merit Of each part adopted

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutons among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and Of which
the end not yet" the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, djointed and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the clabo-
and ponderous t:sases to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their Inst, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and Ra-
dcal--s' Blackwood % and the " London Quarterly"
are Tory ; the &C Edinburgh Review - Wing and
the &C Westminster Review " Liberal. The" North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views on any one OF the grand depart
ments Of human knowledge it originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his DEATH is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law, DIR. Hanna, associated with
very highest order. The Westminster" though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the 'Foregn Quarterly and
Westminster - it being in fact a union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted uAder sepa
rate titles. 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination Of uniting in work the best features
Of both as heretofore issued.

their arrival by the British steamers,

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
iustrious in the service of the country. Every por
ton OF the work will receive the most careful attcn
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, 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 any
recommendation. His daguer,eotypes in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenancc.
The drawings and engravings of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 16 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an 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 Union, will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
illnsrious Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most of citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
