per annumThe
Revue dee Deux Mondes hae been formed
for the purpose of establishing an intercouree 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 a* Editors and Contributoro the
moat eminent political, scientific, and literary men
of France. Many of its contributors liave visited
North and South America, and it still counts among
them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps.
Each numoerof the Revue, in 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 most faithful picture of the European movements.

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Ltwli Gaylord Clark.
rpHIS in pronounced, by the press of America and
X England, 'the best magazine iu America.' It
liar nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in
its list of upward of u hundred contributor? are found
the names of every distinguished writer, male and
female, iu 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 Cheney, from a painting
by Elliott, will commence on the first dayof July,
1H49. 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 ol this
MtiH u.wl,.|v.rw>niiIn r neriodical aDOears
upon entirely new anil (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 Editor of the Knickerbocker about a twelvemonth:
it has now reached an age greatljr beyond
that of nuf 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. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughly
edited, in the strictest sense of tne term.'?Neto
York Daily lYibune.
'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
asymptote*, 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 exceltior,
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 ub. There
is no publication in the United States that has so attractive
or popular a feature as the Editor'* table of
the Knickerbocker.'?Ann York Courier and inquirer.
'We regard it an the very best work of its kind in
the Union.'?St. Alban't (Ka.) Journal.
'It* content* are a* invariably good a* its appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullen Bryant, in
the New York Evening Pott.
'Its article* are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor't Table is in Mr. Clark's happiest
vein; varied and racy in a remarkable degree.'
?New York Commercial Advertiser.
'The Knic kerbocker 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 lieratnre.'?Albany Argue.
"The Editor's Table alone is worth tne price of
the work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms a library hook to
save and re-read. A set of the Knickkrbockkr,
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.'?
Dot ton Daily Transcript.
President Everett, qf Harford College, late
Miniiter tn Enrlund. ? 'Ioerusethe knickerbocker
with high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order 01 merit quite above the average of the periodicals
of thia class, English or American.'
Hon. J.K. Paulding, Late Secretary of tJ*e Navy.?
The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,
and the great merit of iu contributors, place
| it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Prof. Longfellow, Cambridge Univereity.?'The
' Knickerbocker stands high in this quarter. His
superior to most of the English magazines, and well
I deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hon. Robert M. Charlton, Georgia.?'The
Knickerbocker is a work which requires no puffing;
and I shall always feel that I am conferring a
favor on those to wltom I recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever Magazine
is the plcasantest periodical in the United
State*. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and interesting,arc well worthy of imitation
by our Magazine* on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Morning Chronicle.?'Judging from
the numbers before us, we arc inclined to consider
this the best 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 are
highly creditable to American writers, anil very
agreeable for English readers.'
London Metropolitan Monthly Magazine.?
We have read several numbers of this talented periodical,
and rejoiced in thein. They would do
credit to any country or to any state of civilization
to which humanity has yet arrived.'
London Athenkdm.?'From a very clever
Monthly Magazine, 'The K nickerbocker.' of New
York, we copy the following spirited story,' etc.
81r Edward Rclwer Lytton.?'The Knickerbocker
is the best American periodical 1 have yet
seen. I take pleasure in enclosing you an article
which was penned expressly for your work.'
Charles Dickens, esq.?'1 read the Knickerbocker
with very great pleasure: it is indeed a
must various and entertaining periodical. It affords
ine pleasure to contribute to the pages of a work
which numbers among its regular correspondents
such writers as Mr. Irving.'
Rev. Dr. Dick Scotland.?'I have read a good
