| ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
| III 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 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 right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted should such be FOND necessary: in
which event, the committee also reserve TO them
selves the right to divide appor,ion, 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.

FINDER this title will be published, during tn,
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi

iustrous in the service of the country. Every por
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il 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
lcry, and those which being engraved for this
work are belicvedto be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment OF this grea,
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 dagucrrcotypes in tie
highest the works OF art, glowing with Tie soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and cngravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste 10 be fully
equal and in some 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

cravings themselves. The entire work will be on

peal for encouragement and aid in so commendable

he progress of American Arts and by grouping the
llnstrous men of the Uaion together, consolidate 1t
still more nrmly.
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 citizens the publish

HWlNG to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ uions among the nations Of Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is not yetn the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasy disointed, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers and the clabo-
rate and ponderous trcatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it 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:
TIE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals arc contained the views, mode
raely, though clearly and firmly expressed, OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing nd RAJ

Quoted by his sonn-aw I)r. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is of the
very highest order. The "Westminstel," 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 OF uniting IN enc work tie best features

AZ The health of the Hon. Wan. G. PREs.
TON has been SO greatly restored, that he has
been persuaded to remain at the head of the
South Carolina College, from which post he had
previously determined to withdraw
t A friend who was present at the recent Com
mencement of that institution, informs us that
the address of the President to the graduating
class, was characterized by much of that fervid
and impassiered eloquence which gained him so
high an oratorical renown in the days of his
public service. He impressed upon his young
graduates the duties devolving upon them, and
urged them never to forget that their first allie
glance was due to their State, and that they
should defend her against all assailants, US they
would the honor of their mothers
His appeal was answered by the most enthu-
siastic applause.
Should his health continue TO improve, the
Richard of the South Carolina host may vet,
with his old eomrade McDUFFIE, (who is also
improving in health,) lead the forlorn hope once
more in defence of State rights, aud equality.
