Nouvelle Period avec la Collaboration dee Soinmltes Idtteralrea et Mcientlflques, de la France et dee pays Ktrangers. Published oil the first ami fifteenth of every month. Each number contains 176 pages, 8vo., at $ 12 50 per annum. The Revue des Deux Mondcshas been formed for the purpose of establishing an intercourse in the intellectual pursuits the most followed between distinguished men of Europe and America. It is proposed in this collection to give a prominent place, to the affairs of the American Union, to the labors of its politicians, and to the Literary and Scientific publications of its Authors. The Revue des Deux Mondes now makes a public appeal to American Authors and Editors, by sending to it, through Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy of each of their publications. The Revue is in a better position than any other organ in Europe to serve as an intellectual link between the Old and the New World, which has as Editors and Contributors the most eminent political, scientific, and literary men of France. Many of its contributors have visited North and South America, and it still counts anions' them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corns. Each number of the Revue, in addition to it* articles signed by the first names of France, contains, under the title of" Chronique de la Quinzaine," a historical summary of the principal events of the political world, whicn will certainly be, for the American, the most faithful picture of the European movements.

THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and England, 'the 1x:at magazine in America.' It has nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in it* lint of upward of a hundred contributore are found the names of every distinguished writer, male and female, in America, with several equally prominent of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new volume, containing a superb engraving, a portrait qf the editor engraved by Cheney, from a painting by Elliott, will commence on the first day of July, 1949. The following notices of the Knickerbocker are from the American and English press, and from American and British writers of distinction. 'The Knickerbocker.?The last number ot this venerable and widely-popular periodical appears upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all its departments; 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 ?ditor of the Knicilerbockrr about a twelvemonth: it has now reached an age greatly beyond that of any American Monthly; a fact which literally 'speaks volumes' in praise of the manner in which the work has been conducted. No number of the K. has ever been issued under Clark's supervision that did not bear indubitable evidence of editorial care, and anxious thought, and well-directed labor enstamped upon its pages. Wc have known 110 monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughly edited, in the strictest sense of the term.'?New York Daily Tribune. Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called asymptotes, whose peculiarity is always to approach each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended, never to intersect. The Knickerbocker, which has reached an age for a Magazine much greater than a hundred years for a man, and only to be attained by a mort; marvellous miracle, has perpetually approached the highest possible point of interest and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excelsior, for each number seems better than that which went before. How it is done our friend Clark may understand?but it is a sealed mystery to us. There is no publication in the United States that lias so attractive or popular a feature as the Editor's table of the Knickerbocker.'?New York Courier and Enquirer. 'We regard it as the very best work of its kind in the Union.'?St. Alban's ( Va.) Journal. Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance is punctual.'?William Ccllen Bryant, tn the New York Evening Post. 'Its articles arc worthy of Blackwood's palmiest days. The Editor's Table is in Mr. Clark's happiest vein; varied and racy in a remarkable degree.' ?New York Commercial Advertiser. The Knickerbocker seems to increase in attraction as it advances in age. It exhibits a monthly variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or ability.'?National Intelligencer. 'The Knickerbocker is one of the most valuable magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition in the higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argue. "The Editor's Table alone is worth the price of the work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced over and thrown by, but it forms a library book to save and re-read. A set of the Knickerbocker, bound up in volumes, on the shelves of one of our popular libraries, is more cousulted (so the librarian nas often told us) than any other similar work.'? Boston Daily Transcript. President Everett, qf Harford College, late Minister to England.?'I peruse the Knickerbocker with high gratification.
