THE KNIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely-Popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type in all its de-
parents; and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues TO vindcate its reputation as 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 age greatly beyond
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 indubitabe evidence of edi-
toral care and anxious thought, and well directed
| labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly, of this country or Europe, 30 thorough

than hundred years for a man, and only to be at

ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an ercel
sior, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
