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 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 KNIoKERBocKER about twelve
month"; ii 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 been conducted. No number
OF the X. has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubtabe evidence of edi-
torial care, and anxious thought, and weldirected
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe thorough.

and excellence; and yet it to have an excel

went before. Howl is done our friend CLARK may
understand-but it is sealed mystery to US. There
