( ~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution OF
that body, 4" 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, -
accordingly invite such plans and estimates to be
delivered TO the Secretary of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day of December neyt.
Ii 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 10 the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condiuon, 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 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 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

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.

D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
ITNDER this title will be published during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biograpbi.
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
lustrious In the service Of the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared 10 render it a 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 Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recommendation. His dlguerreotypes in tie
highest the works ot art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste 10 be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % ,chcs, ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope IL
viii therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments of life wl have its representatives. Art
and Literature are 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 glorious mon, will respond TO our ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in commeDda able an
undertaking, that is publication may make era IN
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
ilustrious of the Union together consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America.

BLACK WOODS MAGAZINE
AID THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums TO New Subscribers

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
" lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each othe- in quick succession, and OF which
the end is not yetn the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, disjonted and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the elabo
and ponderous tTeases 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 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, Wing nd Ra-
dicsl-e' Rlackwood" " and the " London Quarterly y
are Tory the Edinburgh Review" F" Wing and
the t Westminster Review f" Liberal. The " North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
ultra in its views any one or the grand depart
ments Of human knowledge il originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his death is con
dncted by his son-in-law DR. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster Its 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
Reviews formerly published and reprinted uader sepa-
rate titles. II has therefore the advantage by this
combination Of uniting in work the best features
Of both as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals reprinted in New York,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steamers,

PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
AT The ioo price OF ONE DOLLAR per anntni,
S the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
i Potomac, and cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUGH II. peasants, Principal Editor.
Ii is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Vrginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-ctizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence of Southern RE hts is defence of them
stlves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremtting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been insted into them from their
birth, can be eradcated, at a period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know 1t TO be impossible.
I5@The low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
,oays in advance.
