ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
II The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution Of
that body, T" 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, F"
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
Ii liz 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 to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submtted should nch course be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve TO them
selves the rghtto 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

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AHD THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers,

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ buttons among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each othc- 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, dsjointed and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous teases to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem 1t proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their Inst, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
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, Wig and RAJ
deal" Blackwood /" and the +" London Quarterly +"
are Tory the " Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the &C Westminster Review D Liberal. The /" North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in ScolA nd. and is not
ultra in its views any one o. the grand depart
ments of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his DEATH Is con-
dnctcd by his son-in-law DR. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster Its literary character is Of the
very highest order The "Westminstei," though
reprinted under that title only, published in Eng
land under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster - it being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted uader 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,
Immediately their arrival by the British steamers,

public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great

reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His dsguereotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living couneDance.
The awnings and engravings OF D'Avigpon have

cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 10 by % .ches, Eade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be compre hensive in its spirit The
names of those only admitted whose talents
