sTHE KNIcKHRBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely-po periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all its de-
partments and in its rich and diversified contents,
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in

that of any American Monthly; fact which liter
ally speaks volumes in praise of the manner in
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the X. has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubabe evidence OF edl-
torial care and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known

and excellence; and yet it seems to have an srcel-
st0r, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
