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 vndicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published IN

| New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded US
as Editor of the KNIcKERBoCKER about a twelve
month: it has reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; fact which liter

| which the work has been conducted. No number
of the X. has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubtabe evidence OF edi
toral CARE and anxious thought, and well-directed
| labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known

has reached an age for a 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 erect
i0r, for each number seems better than that which
went before. Howit is done our friend CLARK may
understand--but it is a sealed mystery to US. There
