illustrious in the service OF the country. Every por

MIR, Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits ior National Gal

work are believed 20 be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishments of this grea,

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo
~ buttons 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 hasy, dsjointed and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the c'abo-
rate and ponderous t,eatses to be furnished BY the his
torian at a 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,
BLACkWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained the views, mode

by DR.. Chalmers and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law DR.. Hanna, associated with

very highest order. The " Westminstel," though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the g 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 O!ic work the best features

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
II 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, !"
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 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 or 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
