At the io,c price Of ONE DOLLAR per an,,tr,,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
i Potomac, and as cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and
news matter Of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUGH X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virgnians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-ctzens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
SO is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know it to be impossible.
I5-The low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
tcays in Advance.

Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed 10 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 MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His dsguerreotypes in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul

The ra.yings and engravings Of D'Avignon have

BLACK WOODS MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutons among the nations OF Europe, W hich 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 q middle
ground between the hasy, disonted, and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the eabo-
rate and pondcrous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention
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 he views mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ
dcal--s' Blackwood and the {" London Quarterly %
are Tory the &C Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the " 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 o. the grand depart
ments of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DR. Chalmers, and now, since his death, IS con-
Quoted by his sonn-law, Or. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is of the
very highest order. The a" 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 union of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa
rate titles. 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
of both as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York,

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL 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 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 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 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 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.
