ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution of
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by est-
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 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

FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and BiogTaphi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
nstrous 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, 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 accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. MIR. Bradys
reputation has been too long established to need any
Recommendation. His dagucrrcotypcs in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenancc.
The drawings and engravings of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal md 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
cutcd as carefully and in superb style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper I6 by % schcs r,ade

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
uneat to the great men OF the Republic, whose
achievements and iamo 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 lis publication may make era in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
llnstrious OF the Union together consolidate it
still moro 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 citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-rcvo-
~ buttons among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each Other in quick successon 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 hasty, dsjointed and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the clabo-
rate and ponderous 1eases 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:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWOOD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals arc conaincdt he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wig and Ra-
dical--ts Blackwood and the " London Quarterly y

the " Westminster Review D Liberal. Thee North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views on any one OF the grand depart
mcnts of human knowledge; IL was originally edited
by DIR. Chalmers and now, since his death, is con-
