THE KNIcKERBocKER.--The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type in all its de-
parments; and in its rich and diversified contents
agreeable and @ entertaining Magazine pubished % Gs i"
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 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 becn conducted. No number
of the X. has boon issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubitable evidence Of ed
toral care, and anxious thought, and well ldrectcd
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, Of this country or Europe, 30 thorough
ly edited, in the strictest sense Of the term Nec
'MArHEMATIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
asyptotes, whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and YET even when infinitely extended,
never TO intersect. The KNIcKERBocxER, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for man, and only to be at
tained by more marvellous miracle, has pcrpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an erceI
sor, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understandable it is a sealed mystery tous. There
is no publication in the United States that has at
tractive popular feature the Editors table of
