*,* The Revue dee Deux Mondcs has been formed
for the purpose of establishing an intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
i distinguished men of Europe and America. It is
proposed iu this collection to give a prominent
place, to tho affair* of the American Union, to the
taliors of its politicians, and to the Literary and
Scientific publications of its Authors. The Revue
iles Deux Moudes now make* 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 auy other organ in Europe to serve as
an intellectual link between the Old and the NewWorld,
which has as Editors and Contributors the
| ijjiMt eminent political, scientific, and literary men
of mdtf. Maiiy""rir lis contributors have visited
North and Soutii America, and it still counts among
them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps.
Each nurnnerof the Revue, in addition to its articles
signed by the first names of France, contains, under
the title of" Chronique de la Quinz&ine," 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 KNI<'KEHH(M KKR MAOAZINK.
Edlltd by lifwin Unylord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America ami
England, "tiie beat 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
if the editor engraved by Cheney, from a painting
by Elliott, will commence on the first day of July,
IH49. The following notices of the Knicklhhockkr '
i are from the. American and English press, and from |
| American and British writers of distinction.
' 1 he Knickerbocker.?The last number ol thin
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all Us departments;
and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
tne 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 greatly beyond
that of uny 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 tlie strictest sense of tne term.'?New
York Daily Tribune.
'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
aaymptote*, whose peculiarity is always to approach
each other, and yet, even when infinitely exteuded,
never to intersect. The Knickbrbocker, 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 excel*ior,
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 ha* so attractive
or popular a feature as the Editor'* 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'i ( Va.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullen Bhyakt, in
the New York Evening Poet.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood'h palmiest
days. The Editor'* 'Table is in Mr. Cla rk'r happiest
vein; varied and racy in a remarkable degree.'
?New York Commercial Advertiocr.
'The Knickerbocker seems to increase in attrac
lion an it advances in age. It exhibits a monthly
i variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or
ability.'?.Xutional Intelligencer.
The Knickerbocker is one of the most valuable
i magr. zincs of the day, and outstrips all competition
in th. higher walks of lier&ture.'?Albany Argute.
"The Editor's Table alone is worth the price of
the work. It is not a periodical to he lightly glanced
over and thrown by, hut it forma a library Ixiok 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
has often told us) than any other similar work.'?
| Hot ton Daily TrantcrijU.
President Everbtt, qf Harford College, late
Minister to England.?*1 peruse tile 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. PAi'LDiNo.hife Secretary <tf ' the jYany.?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is con- |
ducted, and the great merit of its contributors, place
I it in tin' highest rank of periodicals.'
Pbof. Longfellow;, Cambridge University.?'The
Knickerbocker stands high in this quarter, h is
superior to most of the English magazines, and well
deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hon. Robert M. Charlton, (ieorgia.?'The
Knickerbocker is a work whicb requires no puffing;
and I shall always feel that I am conferring a
favor on liaise to whom I recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever Magazine
is the ph-asantest periodical in the United
Slates. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and interesting.arc well worthy of imitation
by our Magazines on this sale of the Atlantic.'
London Morning Chronicle.?'Judging from <
the numlier* la-fore us, we are inclined to consider 1
this the hrst of all tiie American literary periodicals. !
Its contents are highly interesting, instructive, and I
Amusing.'
The London Literarv Gazette.?'The taste !
and talent which tlie Knickerbocker displays are <
highly iTeditahle to American writers, and very 1
agreeable for English readers.'
London Metropolitan Monthly Magazine.? 1
'We have read several iiuiiiImts of this talented pc I
nodical, and rejoiced in them. They would <Ki 1
credit to any country or t*> any state of civilization i
to which humanity has yet arrived.'
J sin do n Athenjrf.m.?'From a very clever , 1
Monthly Msgazine. 'The Knickerbocker.' of New
York, we copy ilie following spirited story,' etc.
Sir Coward Bci.wer Lytton.?'The Knickrr- !
Bocker is die lawt Amerirali periodical I have yet
seen. I take pleasure in enclosing you an article
which was penned expressly for your work.'
Chari.ea Dukens, esq.?'! read the Knickrr- '
KKKti with very great pleasure: it ia inde*<d a |
i most various ami entertaining ixrimlx al. It (ftaiia , 1
iu> pleasure to contribute to the page* of a work '

Rev. Dr. Dick Scotlamu.?'I hate rwul a roal
many nf the articles in the few numbers of the
Kni aiaiin ati w hich you ac-nt me, and hud them
to posM'sa great merit. 80111* of it* papers, it i*
