EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
TNDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
lnstrous in the service OF the country Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten-

MIR. 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
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
recomme ndation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF ART glowing with the soul
Of the living conntenance
The drawings and engravings OF DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste 10 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 superb style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose. s . t. . I.....s .,,..
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
of those only are admitted whose talents
and public services have won fer 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 OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in ocoinmendable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping tke
illnstrious 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 il
beyond the reach of most of our citizens, the publish
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price, They have, therefore,

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
n The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by 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 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
ths 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
mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption Of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such course be found accessory in
which event, the committee also reserve 10 them
selves the right to divide or 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.

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 ends 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, dsjonted and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper tn 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,

reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title Of the 6 Foreign Quarterly and

combination of uniting in work the best features
of both as heretofore issued.
