'THE KNICKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type in all its de-
partmcnts; and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues TO vindicate 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 twelve
month: il has reached an 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 ndubtable evidence Of edi-
torial care, and anxious thought, and welldirected
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly, of this country Europe, 30 thorough
ly edited in the striCtest sense OF the term Ne1c

asyptotes, whose peculiarly ID always to approach
each other and yet, even when infinitely extended

has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for man, and only to be at
| tanned by more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence and yet it seems to have an ercei-
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done friend CLARK may
understandable it is sealed mystery to US. There
