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 diyersified 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 now reached 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 ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear ndubtable evidence of edi
torial care, and anxious thought and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe 30 thorough
y edited, in the strictest of the term. Ne1D
