Published on the first and fifteen Ut of every month.

*#* The Revue dea Deux Monde* ha* been formed
for tlie purpose of establishing1 an intercourse in
Uie intellectual pursuit* 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 Monde* 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 a*
an intellectual link between the Old and the New
World, which has as Editors and Contributors the
most eminent political, scientific, and literary men
I cf PsnnnA Manw lid , >/knf WtKllf APO KoUfl
North and South America, and it still counts among
thrm many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps.
Each number of the Revue, in addition to its articles
l signed by the first names of France, contains, under
the title of'' Chrouique 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 move,

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewi* Gay lord Clark. ^
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and 1
England, 'the best magazine in America.' It r
ha* nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in r
it* liat of upward of a hundred contributor$ are found 1
the name* of every distinguished writer, male and r
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new t
volume, containing a superb engraving, a portrait i
qf the editor engraved by Cheney, from a painting
by Elliott, wOl commence on the first day of July, f
1849. The following noticeaof the Knickbbbockbb >
are from the American and English press, and from <
American and British writers or distinction.
'Thb Knickbbbockkb.?The last number of this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and Deautiful 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 Clabk had preceded us '
ae Editor of the Knickkbbockkr about a twelve- 1
month: it has now reached an agejjreatly beyond
that of any American Montniy; a iaci wnu u uni ally
'speaJts volumea' in praise of the manner in
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the K. baa ever been issued under Clark's supervision
that did not liear indubitable evidence of editorial
care, and anxious thought, and well-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughly
edited, in the strictest sense of tne term.'?New
York Doily Tribune.
Mathematician* tell us of certain curves called
aeymptotee, 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 more marvellous miracle, has perpetually
approached the highest possible point or interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excel
tior, 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 has so at- ]
tractive or popular a feature as the Editor'i 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'e ( Va.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullbn Bryant, tn
the New York ?tenmg Poet.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor'? Table is in Mr. Clark's happiest
vein; varied aud 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 moat valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition
1 in the higher walk* of lierature.'?Albany At gut.
"The Editor'* Table alone is worth the price of
the work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it form* a library Dook to
nave and re-read. A net of the Knickerbocker,
bound up in volumes, on the shelve* of one of our
popular libraries, is more consulted (so the librarian
lias often told us) than any other similar work.'?
Bottom Daily Trarucrxjft.
President Evrrktt, of Harford College, late
Minuter to England.?'I peruse the Knickerrockkr
with high gratification. It seems to mc to be of an
order of merit quite above the average of the periodicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Pa uldi.no,lots Secretary of Ike Namy.?
'The manner in which the Knickkksocksb is conducted,
and the great merit of its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Prof. Longfellow, Cambridge Wnioereity.?'The
Kmickrkrockkk stands high in this quarter. It is
superior to most of the English magazines, and well
1 deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hon. Rorert M. Charlton, Georgia.?'The
Knickerbocker is r work which requires nopuffing:
and I shall always feel that I sin conferring a
favor on those to whom J recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever Ma- ,
gaxine is the plesssntest periodical in the United |
States. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and interesting,are well worthy of imitation
by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.'
LnnMM Morning Chronicle.?'Judging from
the numbers before us, we are inclined to consider
this the best of all the American literary periodical*, i
Its contents are highly interesting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The London Liter art Gaerttr.?'Th< taste
and talent which the KNicKBRROCKRa displays are
highly urwditabW to American writers, ami very
i agreeable for English readers.'
London Metropolitan Monthly Magazine.?
'We have read several numbers of this talented periodical,
aud rejoiced in them. They would do
credit to any country or to any state of civilisation
to which humanity nas yrt arrived.'
