summary of the principal events of the political

the most faithful picture of the European movements.

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lcwli Gay lord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the bqst magazine in America.' It
ha* nearly reached 1U thirty-fourth volume, and in
it* lint of upward of a hundred contributori are found
the namea of every distinguished writer, male and
female* in America, with Beveral equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new
volume* containing a superb engraving, a portrait
qf the editor engraved by Chenby, from a painting
by Eluptt, wul commence on the first day of July,
1849. The following notices of the Knicbebiockkb
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers of distinction.
'Taa Kxickbbbocstbb.?The last number ol 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
as Editor of the Knickcbbocbbb about a twelvemonth:
it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; a fact which liter
ally 'speaks volumes' in praise 01 uie manner m
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the K. hue ever been issued under Clabk's superviaion
that did not bear indubitable evidence of editorial
care, and anxioua thought, and well-directed
labor enatamped upon ita pages. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, ao thoroughly
edited, in the strictest sense of tne term.'?New
York Daily Tribune.
'Mathematicians tell ua of certain curves called
aeymptote*, 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 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 Clash may
understand?but it is a sealed mystery to us. There
is no publication in the United States that hassoattractive
or popular a feature as the Editor'* table of
the Knickerbocker.'?New York Cornier and Enquirer.
'We regard it as the very beat work of its kind in
the Union.'?St. Alban't (Fa.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullen Bryant, in
the New York Evening Poet.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor'* 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 the higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argue.
I ne bailor 8 raDie aione id wurui urc [nmui
the work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forma a library hook to
save and re-read. A act of the Kmickebeockkk,
bound up in volumea, on the ahelvea of one of our
popular libraries, ia more consulted (so the librarian
has often told ua) than any other similar fork.'?
Boston Daily IVaiucn.pt.
President Everett, qf Harford College, late
Minuter to England.?'1 peruse the Knickerbocker
with high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order of merit quite above the average of the periodicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Paulding,late Secretary qf the Navy.?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,
aud the great merit of its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Paor. Longfellow, Cambridge Umvereity.?'The
Knickerbocker stands high in this quarter. It is
superior to most of the English magazines, and well
deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hou. Robert M. Charlton, Georgia.?'The
Knickerbocker ia a work which requires no puffing;
and I shall always feel that I am conferring a
favor on those to whom 1 recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever Magazine
is the pleasantest periodical in the United
States. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and interesting,are well worthy of imitation
by our Magazines on litis side of the Atlantic.'
London MoaNino Chronicle.?'Judging from
the numbers before us, we are inclined to consider
this the 1**1 of all the American literary periodicals.
Its contents are highly interesting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The London Literary Gazette.?'The taste
and talent which the Knickerbocker displays arc
highly creditable to American writers, ami very
agreeable for English readers.'
London Metbopolitas Monthly Maoazime.?
'We hate read several numbers of this talented periodical,
