Published on the first and fifteenth of every month.
Each number contains 176 pages, 8vo., at $ 12 60
per annum.
%* The Revue des Deux Mondes has 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 afihirs 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 Author* and Editor a, by sending to it,
through Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy 6f each
of their publications. Tha Kww 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 nlen
of France. Many of its contributors have visited
North and South America, and it still counts among
them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corns.
Each number of the Revue, iu addition to its 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, which will certainly be, for the American,
the must faithful picture of the European movements.

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited b)r Ltwii Gay lord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the best magazine in America.' It
has nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in
its list of upward of a hundred contributor 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
<f the editor engraved by Chbnby, from a painting
by Elliott, will commence on the firstdayof July,
1849. The following notices of the Knickubockek
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers of distinction.
'Tub Knickerbocker.?The last number o! this
upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all its departments;
and in ita rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindicate ita reputation aa the moat
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
e United States. When we first started the old
New Yorker,' our friend Clash had preceded us
as Editor of the Knickbbbockbb about a twelvemonth:
it lias now reached an age greatly beyond
tliat of any American Monthly; a fact which literally
'speaks volumes' in praise of tj>e manner in
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the K. has ever been issued under Clash's supervision
that did not bear 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 DoUfi Tribune.
'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
asymptote*, whose peculiarity is always to approach
each other, and yet.eveu when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The Knickbbbockbb, 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 of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to tiave an sreefsior,
for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend Clash may
understand?but it is a sealed mystery to us. There
is no publication in the United States that has so attractive
or popular a feature as the Editor's table of
the Knickbbbockbb.'?New York Courier and Enquirer.
'We regard it as the very best work of its kind in
the Union.'?St. Alban's (pa.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appear
since u punctual. ?ttilliajb culli.i ubi*? * ? *?
the New York Evening Pott.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor'e Table is in Mr. Clabk'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 tnc higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argue.
"The Editor's Table alone is worth tne price of
the work. Itis not a periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forma a library nook 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 consulted (so the librarian
nas often told us) than any other similar work.*?
Boeton Daily Tranecrrpt.
President Everett, qf Harford College, late
Minister to England.?'I peruse thie Knickerboc ker
with high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order of merit quite above the average of the period
teals of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. PAVLOtNo.loie Secretary of the Navy.?
'TUw manner in vfaiut tiu ?mcn??<>ns?i is conducted,
and the great merit of its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Paor. LoNorELLOW, Cambridge Univereity.?'The
Knickerbocker stands high in this quarter. Itis
I superior to most of the English magazines, and well
i deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hon. Robest M. Chaelton, Georgia.?'The
, Knickbsbockeb is a work which requires no putfI
ing; and 1 si tail always fuel that I am conferring a
favor on those to whom I recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever Magazine
is lite plessantest periodical in the United
Stales. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and interesting,are well worthy of imitation
i by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Mobnino Chbontcle.?'Judging from
the numbers brforr us, we arc inclined to consider
this the best of atl the American literary periodicals.
Its contents are highly interesting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The London Litebarv Gazette.?'The taste
and talent which the KNicKEaaocKza displays are ,
highly creditable to American wntrm, and very
agroeablr fur English reader*.'
