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, F" 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 next.
1t is required that these pana 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; i'm
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

D'Avignon.
EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
y year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
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 aten-
tion and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men of the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, end those which being engraved for this
work believed to be superior TO any that have
over been taken In the accomplishments Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men, MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and 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 win be exc
cutcd as carefully and in superb style the
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
will 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-
partmcnts OF life will have its representatives Art
and Literature univ evsal in their SPIRIT and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
umcnt 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 our glorious Union will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendable
undertaking, that its publication may make an era in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
lus,rous OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the pces they sustain IN Europe would place II
beyond the reach OF most Of citizens the publish
have resolved to merit a large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
