THE KSIcKEaBocKER.-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
continues to yindicate 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: IL 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 CLAaKs super
vision that did not bear indubitable evidence Of edi
tord care, and anxious thought, and ell-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, OF this country or Europe, thorough
ly edited, in the strictest sense Of the term -Ns,o

than hundred years for man, and only to be at

and excellence; and yet it seems to have an ercel
sior, for each number seems better than that which
went before. Howl is done our friend CLARK may
