ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a 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, -
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 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 anv
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed NAV
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 course be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them.

Al he iotc price Of ONE DOLLAR per ansuna,
| $ the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
| Potomac, and as 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 X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor
1t IL designed to make it equal TO any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest In
tone and sentiment, 1t Is Southern--its conductors
are VTgnans, aud they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow citizens
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, rom choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is a defence of them
selves and all they hold dear; that it has been
warm unremIttmg, 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 instlled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible.
ISIhe low price at which the paper is pub
hshed requires that the subscription be paid al
,cdys in advance.

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums to New Subscribers.

NWING to the late revolutions and counterrevo-
~ lutions among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each cthr- quick succession, and OF which
the end is not YETI, the leading periodicals Of Great
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsonted and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous reatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. Tbs following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,

three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ

the " Westminster Review " Liberal. The" North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views any o. the grand depart

by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his DEATH is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law DR. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster Its literary character is of the
very highest order. The " Wcstminster,'' though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng

Westminster - it being in fact union Of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles 1t has therefore the advantage by this

of both as heretofore issued.
