THE KNIcKERBocKER--The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all its de-
partments and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindcate 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
as Editor Of the kNIcKBRBocKER about twelve
month: it has reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; a fact iLich liter
ally speaks volumes in praise Of the manner in
which the work has been conducted No number
