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.
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 buildings 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 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 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 ,ecessa1u in
which event, the committee also reserve TO them
selves the right to divide or apporon, according
to their own judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part he adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit OF each part adopted.

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

NWING to the late reyolntions and counter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed 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, disointed and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous tYcascs to be furnished BY the his
toran 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.

three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and Ra-

British Review Z" owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not

by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his sonn-law ,.Dr, Hanna associated with

very highest order. The " Westminster though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng

combination OF uniting in work the best features
