Robert Le Diable
Such is the soubriquet carried by the extra
ortiiitrylenius, whO last night held spell
bound with amazement, one of the largestand
molt fashionable audiences yet asiembled
within the theatre during the season. As •
"prestigiator," or in common Anglo-Baron
parlance, "Illusionist," M. holler fairld beats
any of the professors who have hitherto vis
ited this city. Executed without any extra
neous aid of mechanism or cumbrous para
phernalia, his feats , approach as nearly the
miraculous as humanity may well conceive ;
indeed, while in • bewildering state of amaze
ment, as we were last night, our visual optics
Were inadvertently straine d an involuntary
offortio_ detect a candle extremity, with the
hoop accompaniment, so suggestive of the dia
bolicalfleate to the prefix of -"Robert." The
"seeond eight" is indeed's marvel "playing
comprehension," and inexplicably more mys
terious than any,of the "ism" so rife in this
prolific age. No matter how-singular the ar
mole presented, Little Fredills yonthful and
interesting 'familiar, with' eyes blindfolded,
designated it immediately and off-laand ; in
deed this portion of the performance must be
witnessed to be credited.
As a pianist, lir. nailer more than realised
all thatwe have beard, and it was the unani
monsopinion of the principal critics, that his
superior has not bows beard in this city. He
will present another, and varied performance
to-night.
Tai ECLECTIC MACI . L2IIfi, FOR APEIL.—Mr.
Henri Miner, Fifth street, has received the
April number of this excellent magazine.
Mr. Bidwell proposes, in the Eclectic Maga-
sins, to lay beforet h e American public the
very choicest contemporary productions of
European periodical literature--and. be gen
erally succeeds admirably. Indeed, the read
er of Bidwell's Eclectic has the advantage of
only meeting with the, best things which a Jo
editor 'him Waited from, some twenty
-or thirty periodicals, and is spared the loss of
time and patience which reading the inferior
portions would involve. The April *umber
now before 'well 'exemplifies *hat we have
just said. - It contains more than twenty
.pa
pere from the latest British periodicals—and
that is about as many, if good ones, as any
month in - the year produces. There is also a
beautiful engraving --a portrait of the Queen
of Prussia—forming the embellishment of the
number. 'The bin, number will commence a
new volume,—kence, it is a good time to com
mence subscriptions.

attiring st 43 Fifth atisak—v
Prof. Anderson' at COncett Hall.
There were great doings at Concert Hall
last evening—one magician proving himself
more than a snatch for all the magicians of
Egypt, with the advantage,. too, of no Moses
being near to do or attempt anything greater.
If Mr. Anderson had not, himself, disclaimed
all supernatural, or preternatural, agency as
concerned in his apparently miraculous feats,
there were certainly not a few, both old and
young, present, who wsuild easily have been
persuaded that there was "uncanny" dealing
with a certain gentleman in black, whom for
obvious reasons we refrain from describing
more particularly. 86 - astonishing, Indeed,
are some of the performances of this world
renowned magician, that It would hardly be
superstition, or even credulity, to believe a
little in such miracles as those this modern
Wizard works.
Doubtless the anticipations of all who wit
nessed the performance were more than realiz
ed; extravagant as these expectations may
have been, in consequence of the extraordina
ry promises made, in the programme. We
have scarcely room to particularize, but we
must mention the gorgeous and costly pare
phenalia, the most complete we ever saw; the
" second sight" performances, throughAhe
medium, Miss Anderson, were truly wonder
ful, and completely baffled the practical sense
of the audience : while the magical tricks were
novel In character and rapid in execution.
The piano accompaniment of Miss Anderson
was a pleasing feature of the exhibition, while
Master Anderson is an indispensible aid to the
Wizard. The hell was filled to its utmost ca
pacity, and will doubtless be full again to
night.
Dr. Raphttll'e Lecture TovNigitt.
The learned Jewish Rabbi, Dr. Raphall, of
New York, is. announced to deliver a lecture
this evening, at Lafayette Ball, on the "Poe
try of the Bible and its Characteristics." On
such a *abject so competent • scholar as Dr.
Raphall cannot fail to be both interesting and
instructive. We trust, therefore, that the
learned lecturer will draw a large audience.
Indeed the mere fact, itself, is interesting and
instructive, that a Jew thus invites a Christian
public to meet him on ground common to both;
and no doubt he will be heard attentively and
respectfully, on a theme which is associated
with the names of a whole, host of learned
and eloquent Christian Divines.
Deowdoto.--6eo. Vandergrift, engineer of
the towboat Grey Fox, was accidentally
drowned, one day last week, by falling over
board, a short distant* below Oil City, on the
Allegheny. :yet. It appears that . he wad
standing on the lower guard, leaning against
one of the fenders, when, losing his balance,
he was precipitated headlong into the river.
The boat was stopped as soon as possible, and
every effort made to resole him, but it was all
in vain. The deceased was about eighteen
years of age, unmarried, and resided with his
parents, in this city.
PITTSBURGH FICHALI COLLEGIC.—The Spring
term of ibis very worthy, as well as very pop

advantages that we need not refer to them
now. Its wonderful success, and constantly
unceasing patronage, are the best comment
upon the efficacy of its management. W ad

FROM YESTERDAY'S EVENING GAZETTE.
The Criminal Court
The March term of the Court of Quarter
Session commenced this morning at tett
o'clock—Judges Sterrett, Mellon, Adams and
Brown on the Bench.
The list of Grand Jurors was called over,
but there was no quorum present.
The returns of constables under the license
law, were next received, after which the Court
adjourned until two o'clock in the afternoon.
At the meeting of Court in the afternoon,
A. Fulton, Esq., of Kittanning, presented the
affidavit of J. B. Finley, asking for a contin
uance of the case of libel, in which Robert E.
Brown is proseetttor. The petitioner sets
forth that the alleged libelous letter or paper
has been lost, and denies that he ever wrote
"any letter - or - said tenor i - and. Ihrther; thlit
there are three witnesses, material to the de
fense, now in the army of the Potomac, who
cannot be obtained at thopresent term. Be
therefore asked the Court for a continuance.
Mr. Miller, District Attorney, objected to
the application as premature. No bill had
yet been found—the matter not -yet having
been considered by the Grand Jury. He
thought the application should be postponed
for the present.
The - Court ordered the case to be continued,
and bail was entered accordingly.
The Grand Jury was then called and sworn,
with Wm. V. Evans as foreman. After re
ceiving a clear and eompreheheive charge from
Judge Sterrett, in reference to theeharacterof
their duties, and the manner of discharging
the same, they retired to their room.
Court adjourned until nine o'clock Tateiday
morning.
McCormick's Reaper for the 6 orld's
The pioneer of reaper manufacturers in
America isoildbas allalong been acknowledged
to be, Cyrus 11. McCormick, of Chicago, the
Inventor and for yearn the proprietor of the
machine of that name. The firm as it now
stands, C. H. McCormick & Brothers, is not to
be outdone in enterprise by any manufacturers
of reapers in the world, and at tho ens ing
World's Fair, to be held in London on the rst
of May next, they propose Co put on ash bi
lion a machine, which ( or perfection of wo k
manship, beauty and elegance of finish, s
never been surpassed by any machinist in the
country. This model reaper hius just been
turned out from the workman's hands. It has
eeveral new features, lately patented, among
others an arrangement for the self-delivery of
grain. The wood work is of straight-grained
ash, as smoothly polished as that for the finest
parlor furniture and highly varnished. The
steel is burnished to the full capacity of the
metal, from, which, in ancient times, mirrors
were node ; the Iron portion' are also brightly
filed and polished, and the whole combined
forms a reaper, perfect in all its parts, which,
to the minutest wheel and lever, is made and
pat together with all the perfection of watch
work. '
The triumphs already achieved by Mr. Mc-
Cormick with his reaper are matters not of
personal but of national gratulation. That
at the first London Fair of the Industry of all
Nations, in Prance In 1855, 1856, 1859 and
1860, and at the great United States Agricul
tural Exhibition in 1857, will certainly ho
eolipsod by the one in store fur the forthcom
ing exhibition of the same machine atLondon.
The - Atlantic Monthly, for April.
Mr. John P. Hunt, Masonic Hall, Fifth
street, and N. E. corner of Federal street and
South Common, Allegheny City, has received
the Atlantic for April. An excellent number,
too, It is---perhaps the most brilliant within
the space of a year—and we know that is say
ing a great deal, for several numbers during
that time have seemed nnasurpassable. Well,
this at least is certain, that the present num
ber of the Adapt:kJ is one its editors and con
tributors may well be proud of—and ono
which its_readors will no less rejoice over.
We shall not enumerate even the most strik
ing articles, but just mention two or three by
way of whetting the appetite of our readers.
First, then, of the papers for the times, we
have au . essay on "American Civilization," by
R. W. 'Emerson ; next we mention, "What
shall We do with Them," by Walter Mitchell,
and "Then and Now in the Old Dominion,"
by M. 11. Conway. Lowell's "Message from
Jeff:Darla . ," is notthe least of thigood things,
'though we mention it last. As to the articles
we hero not named at all, they are even good
enough to be preferred, perhaps, to some of
those we have thus distinguished.
Mr. W. A. Gildanfaatry,4s Fifth !treat, has
ship received the Atlinitio Monthly for April.

Knape Battery.
This well known Pittsburgh Battery was .
on the march to Manassas at last accounts.
They left Leesburg with Col. Geary', Begi
n:tent and a battalion of Michigan Catatry, on
the 12th inst., and marched sixteen tale. to
Snickereville, whence, after remaining over
night, they pressed on ten miles farther to a,
place called 10pperville. But one serious ac
cident occurred on the march. One of Co. E
dropped his Enfold, and the look striking a
stone, discharged a gun. The ball first pass
ed through the calf of a man's leg, grazed the
thigh of a second,• and then -lodged in the
cheet of private Le Barr, whose recovery is
pronounced hopeless. On the 10th inst. they
took up the line of march for Manassas, thir
ty-seven miles distant, which place they have
no doubt reached ere this. Lieut. McGill;
with gun No. 2 and twenty-four men, was
left at Fort Johnson, Leesburg, to protect the
Union men in their property and persons.
His command, however, was expected to join .
the main body on the 18th, in time to move
towards Manassas.

came upon each other, when one party fired;
two were killed on the spot, Capt. E. Y.

LIVIAPOOL POINT, Md., March n, 1862
To-day a large fleet of some thirteen steam
ers passed our camp, on their way to Fortress
Monroe. All the gunboats laying hero under
command of Capt. Magaw, were ordered to
join them on there arrival at Liverpool Point,
and did so. Capt. Glass was out drilling the
regiment, and drew the men up in line on the
river bank, at the same time proposing three
°hears, which were given with a will, and
thrice repeated.
During the last two days, seven deserters
have come across from the soil of "Mother
Virginia." Three of them hail from Wil
mington, North Carolina. These mon say we
can form no idea of the dissatisfaction prevail
ing in the rebel army. Only three regiments
are now on the opposite side. We are daily
expecting marching orders. Nothing would
be so acceptable at present.
I notice an old Pittaburgher, Mr. Preston,
in camp to-day, on a visit to his son who, is
Orderly Sergeant of Company A, Capt. Glass.
