THE KNIcgERBocKER.-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 vndcate its reputation as the most
| agreeable and entertaining Magazine published IN
the United States. When first started the old
New Yorker, our friend CLARK had preceded us
| as Editor of the KSIcKERBooKER about a twelve
month: II has now 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 been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did bear ndubitable evidence of edi
torial care, and anxious thought, and we-dlreced
| labor enstamped upon Its pages. We have known
monthly, of this country Europe, so thorough
y edited in the strictest sense OF the term. Neo

has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for man, and only to be at
! tanned by a marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
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 Is done our friend CLARK may
