Magnetic properties of the novel layered superconductor, Na$_{0.35}$CoO$_{2}$$\cdot$1.3H$_{2}$O have been investigated. From the temperature dependence and field dependence of the magnetization, the superconducting transition temperature, as well as upper- and lower-critical fields have been estimated to be $T_{C}=4.6$ K, $H_{C2}(0)=61.0$ T and $H_{C1}(0)=28.1$ Oe. These values give quite unusual phenomenological parameters, \textit{i.e.}, coherent length, penetration depth and Ginzburg-Landau parameter of $\xi=2.32$ nm, $\lambda=5.68\times 10^{3}$ \AA\ and $\kappa\equiv\lambda/\xi=244$, suggesting an unconventional nature of superconductivity. Normal-state magnetic susceptibility shows an upturn below 130 K, which is confirmed to be inherent by high-field magnetization data. The upturn may have relevance to the mechanism of the superconductivity.
