EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
Iustrious in the service OF the country Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful attic n
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF .he Re
public
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishments 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
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO 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 inn
mediate supervision. The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work viii be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 16 by 20 riches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those men 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 mon
ument 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 our glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illusirious Of the Union together, consolidate il
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
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,
established the following

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 is not yet" the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle
ground between the has,y, DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous reatses to be furnished by the his
toran at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention TO
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz:
Richmond daily times. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1853, 1851-08-20

The New York Pest Of Saturday afternoon says
The stock market shows better feeling this morning
though it far from being settled to the direction it
will take up ordown. 1t seems most likely that prices
will flucuate for some little while longer. Since the
sailing OF the steamer to-day Government skies of 1867
are offering rather lower but the fves of 1858 ad-
vanced /.
Money is still tight, and discounts hardly to be OBJ
tanned under 10 per cent. discount.
Virginia six per cent bonds are selling very freely at
1861 notwithstanding the unavorable state of the mar
ket These bonds possess security which it is beyond
the power OF the money market to shake; and re-
markaby low in price compared with similar securi-
ties of other states, which are made the basis of bank
issues.
Respecting the Commercial news by the Baltic the
New York Post says:
The adyces from Europe do not favor our markets
to any extent. Though cotton is firm, and wears
promising aspect. yet the Liverpool market is cent
pound relatively below The Harvests in Europe
promise well, and there is to believe that the
recent speculative shipments from this por will not be
very priitoable,

promised by present appearances, whether me Englsn
farmer aided by bountitu Providence and by the eX-
ereiss of al, the appliances ofscenee, can copee WIN
the foregr producer 1t must be remembered also thai
the accounts from some of the European corn growing
countries announce thai their harvest more likely to be
below than above average in consequences OF the un-
favorable weather which has prevailed, and the exports
of grain thence may auraly be expected TO fall short
oil those of previous years. and therefore afford better
chance of renumeratve prizes being Obtained for our
own produce in the English markets. The enormous
Weld however already ascertained in the United States
and Canada forbids the hope that prices will maintain

matter Of indifference the home producer, whether
his crops turn out well otherwise, seeing that it the
yield be abundant the unlimited competition expresses
pricssto point below that which can be made up by
the increase Of quantity he has for sae and, on the
other hand if the crops here prove failure the imports
from Europe and America would eiecualiy prevent
the realization of price that would compensate for the
diminished production.
