DELL PHILLIPs, of Boston, was at Washington

Of the New York Tribune gives an account
of his reception. Senator SUMNER introduced
him on the floor Of the Senate. Vice President

In the evening PHILLIPS lectured at the Smith.

United States and many Congressman OF both

THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW The February

solution"
The title Of the last article will not excite
very pleasant feelings in loyal American
bosons. The writer regards our Union as al
ready di solved, and anticipates that out Of it
will be formed at least two, and probably Eve
or six separate and independent governments
or nationalitiea. All this, he argues, will be
better for us and for the "rest Of manklnd.r
The probability is that the British Review
writer's will soon change their tone and their
line of argument 10 regard to the condition and
prospects of the American Republic. How.
ever, the article to which we allude in the
North British, is well written and worthy of an
attentive perusal, as indicating what many Of
the upper class" in Great Britain ardently de-
sire, and eudeavor to persuade themselves has
happened, or will shortly come to pass.
Taken as whole, this number of the North
British is superior one. IL is republlshed by

Professor ANDERsoN's MAGICAL ENTERTAIS.
MEST.-Tbe Professor Of the arts of Magic and
Necromancy performed again at Naughton's
Hall, last evening, to large and grstifed as
sembly, among whom were many members Of
the Legislature, This, his eecond performance
excelled the first, and we feel safe in predict.
ing that his third and last entertainment, this
evening, will be superior to either of the other
two.
The resources Of Professor Anderson appear
to be really inexhaus.lble. Hence, he is not
confined to mere repetition Of the same ex-
perimentS, but varies his illusions, with on ap'
parenty endless variety. And from what we
Witnessed last night, we draw the conclusion
that he is like the considerate and benevolent
host, who reserves the best wine to the last
There is one striking peculiarisy in Professor
Andersou's illusions, in which he excela all
other masters of the arts magical, and by
which his performances perfectly enohant and
bewilder the beholders. 1t Is that his illusions
are, like the great mysteries In nature, appa.
rently simple at first sight, and yet become, as
he proceeds, with his operations, most unac-
oountably complex and intricate.
The moment we think we have discovered
one link In the chain of enchantment, we find
a second, third, and so en-, running on to an
underlined and inexplicable series, till we begin
to doubt whether we were NOT mistaken as to
the first, and we grow imperceptibly into the
belief that the professor, notwithstanding bis
asseverations to the contrary, must have some
supernatural aid.
Yet whatever opinion we may, under the
spell of his strange illusions, form of the Pro.
fessor, the sight Of his three assistants, his son
and two daughters, induces the persuasion, that
these are the only help he has outside Of him
self and his ingenious mechanical contrivances.
But when Miss Anderson exhibits what seem
undeniable tests of marvellous clairvoyance,
the most incredulous are forced 10 the conclu.
sion that, II she does not hold converse With
the deniSenS of the upper afr" she at least
possesses powers not vouchsafed to common
mortals.
This evening, the Professor will perform for
the last time in our city. None should mics
the golden opportunity to witness his magical
featS and especially the exhibition of the clair.
voyant powers Of Miss Anderson, which will
form part of the programme for the evening.
Take care to secure yOur tickets and seats ear
ly, at Settler & Webster's, on State street.

A rrnnInLr accIdent occurred In Noble conn.

A TERRIBLE accident occurred In Noble ooun.
ty the other day, by which young mau named
0'Brian Baker was killed. He was prying I'M.
der ledge of rocks to get out e rabbit, when q
large rock of perhaps two or three tons In
weight became detached from the mass, and
coming In contact With him In its course down
the hill, hurled him to the ground and passed
over him, crushing his head into perfect Jelly
and killing him instantly. The distance over
which the rock passed down the hill was come
fifty or sixty feet, and the body of Mr.. Baker
rear of the rock, but whether it had been car
rled down the bill with the rock or whether it
had rolled down, IL was impossible to determine.
Mr.. Baker was highly eshmable young man,
and his sad end has cast gloom over that en-
tire community .--Zaaesyile Courier.

The Tax ON HooP SKIRTs.-The manufAc.
tursrs of hooped skirts have appointed com.
mittee to 60 to Washington aid remorstrate
with the Government against the heavy tax to
be imposed upon them. From fifteen to twenty
thousand persons are engaged in the manufac-
ture of hoOped skirts in this city, and 1t is rep
resented that as the material used 10 previous J
taxed, the tax will come from the labor, and re-
duce the consumption Of the article and in
crease the number of small manufacturers who
will send In returns for less than $6O0, and thus
evade the tax One house alone would have to
pay $780, 600 If the tax proposed we're passed.
They represent that II is better for the Govern
ment to tax the large manufacturers reasona-
ply, than to increase the small manufacturers,
from which no taxes would be collected.-N

The Finance committee Of the Senate have

that IL is better late than never, but the sum to

AhoIitIon nroHements,

We learn from the New York Evsning Pos
that Senator Wilson's bill provides that the
United States Government will pay the States
of Maryland and Delaware $3.50 for each slave
they will emanclpate. There are $4,000 slaves
In those States, and the bill, therefore, calls
upon the people of the North for about ninety
taco millions Of dollars, If those States should
accept the proposition and Sc. free the slaves
If anything could reconcile rs to this unconsti-
tutional and offensive scheme, It would be an
amendment that the free negroes should all set
