ENLARGEMENT OF THE cAplroI D

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 premium Of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses Of Congress, I"
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
Ii Is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Cspito,
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
mlttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted should s,sch course be found necessary in
which event, the committee also reserve TO them
selves the right to divide apporlion, 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

nWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo
" lutions among the nations of Europe, which hav.
followed each Other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is not yetD the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasy disjoned, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following il

the " Westminster Review Liberal. The North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not

BY DR. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his son-n-aw. Or. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster. It's literary character is of the
very highest order. The " Westminster" 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

rate titles. 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination Of uniting in work the best features
Of both heretofore issued.
