mates for the extension Of the Capitol, and to al
low a 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 Cepitol,

erection of separate and distinct building, within

The committee do not desire to prescribe any

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
mittee reserve to themselves the right 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 apporton, 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

BLACK WOODS MAGA ZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Dro,nsu,ps IN New SuhScrihers

owing TO the late revolutions and counter-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 hasy, dsjoned, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspApcrs and the eabo-
rate and ponderous t-eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
BLACKWCOD'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 RIA
dical-s' Blackwood" and the &C London Quarterly /"
are Tory the edinburgh Review" Wing; and
the &C Westminster Review " Liberal The" North

great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not

by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his soninlaw DIR. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is Of the
very highest order. The &C Westminster though
reprinted under that title only is published in Eng
land under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster )" it being in fact union of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa
rate titles 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination oil uniting in one work the best ieatm es
of both heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steamers,

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty flour Portraits and Biograph
cal Sketches of American citizens W no have become
ustrious 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 arc 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 need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countcnancc.
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 as carefully and in as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper Is by % inches, r,ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those 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
uncnt 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 ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
lnstrious OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place ii
beyond the reach Of most Of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit a large circulation, by
charging a very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
