THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press Of America and
England, tho best magazine IN America. IL
has nearly reached its thirty fourth UoIisme. and in
its list of up,oard of hundred contributors are found
the names OF every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America, with several equally prominent

by ELLIOTT, will commence the first day of July,

are from the American and English press and from
American and British writers OF distinction.
The KNIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all It's 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 us
as Editor of the KSIcKEaBocKER about twelve
month: it has now reached an 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 indubitable 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
" edited, in the strictcst of the term. Ne,o

has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than q hundred years for man, and only to be at
tanned by more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and vet il seems To have an erceI-
sior for each number seems better than that which
