'THE KNIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all its de-
partments and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindicatc its reputation the most
| agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
the United States. When we first started the old
New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor OF the KNIcKERBocKER about a twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; a fact which liter
| ally speaks volumes in praise OF the manner in
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the K has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubitable evidence of ed
torial care and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages We have known
no monthly Of this country or Europe, 30 thorough
