THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and

its list of up,oard of hundred contributors found
the names OF every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey Sweden, etc A new

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 KNIcKERBooKER about twelve
month: it 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 ndubiable evidence of edi
torial care, and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly, of this country or Europe, so thorough
y edited, in the strictest sense Of the term
York Daily Tribune.
sMATHEMATIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
dsymptotes whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and yet even when infinitely extended,
never to inersect The KNIcKERBocKER, which
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 eTcei-
siOr, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understandable it is sealed mystery tous There
is publication in the United States that has 30 at
