ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution OF
that body, 4" 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, :"
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. W
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension Of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed 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 az 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 nch be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide 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.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
FUr 4gI AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counterrevo-
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
sllowe ed 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 middle
ground between the hasty, DISCOUNTED, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the cabo
and ponderous t.eatses 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 are contained he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, Of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ
dical--" Bnckwood " and the &C London Quarterly /"
are Tory the &C Edinburgh Review" Wing; and
the e Westminster Review D Liberal. The C North
British Review owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views any one o. the grand depart
mcnts Of human knowledge it was originally edited
by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his death. is con-
Quoted by his son-inaw DIR. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is Of the
very highest order. The aWestminste,," though
reprinted under that title only, is published IN Eng
land under the title of the " Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster y it being in fact union of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under scPa
rate titles. 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination OF uniting in work the best Ga!uTcs
Of both heretofore issued.

THE GALLERY OF JLLUSTRIOUS

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
IINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
lustrous in the service OF the country Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it wort by
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits National Cal
lcry, and those which are being engraved for this
work 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 Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His dagucrreotypes in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living counenance.
The drawings and cngravings 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 i'm
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win 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
ulncnt to the great Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendable
undertaking, that lis publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illstrions of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly
As no work OF this kind has appeared in Amcnca,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place it
beyond the reach of most OF citizens the publish
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,
