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 vindicate 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 twelve
month; it has 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 X. has been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did hear indubitable evidence Of ed
torial care, and anxious thought, and well drected
| labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, Of this country or Europe, 80 thorough

than hundred years for man, and only to be at
tanned by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence and yet it seems to have an ercel-

went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
