THE KNICKEnBocKER.--The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all its de-
partInents; 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 KNIcKERDocKER about a twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that Of any American Monthly; a fact which liter
ally speaks volumes in psaise 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 not bear indubtablc evidence of ed
torial care, and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstampcd upon its pages. We have known

ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet it seems 70 have an ercel

went before. How 1t is done our friend CLARK may
