TmE PHILADELPHIA Euening Bulletin of Satur-
day last has leader upon the Needle women
of Cities which, noticing movement IN New
York to better the condition of sewing-women,
says that in Philadelphia the average wages Of
this class of female laborers is two dollars per
week, out of which they must pay one dollar and n
half for board, leaving only fifty cents week Tor
all their other necessaries. The boarding houses
at that price of the poorest character and Of
ten in the vilest portions OF the city The article
says further, that among the cases brought to light
i'll New York city, was that OF an intelligent and
Skiliul dresS-maker, who was found IN the garnet
| of cheap boarding house, out OF work, and re-
duced to such straits that she had actually pawned
Everything but her skirt and her under-garment,
in order to procure bread. Nora such instances
unfrequent. The small remuneration which these
Iwork-women receive keeps them living from hand
10 mouth so that in of sickness, scarcity OF
work; they are sometimes left literally without a
crust.
The Bulletin calls the distress of sewing women
| one of the evils ut our own door, which should be
taken in hand by the philanthropic, and asks what
is to be done for their relief for Heaven never in
tended that human beings should be condemned
to live life SO much worse than slave. The ar
ticle, in conclusion, says:
"rhere must be cure somewhere, or, at least,
| alienation. While SO much ability is devoted to
discovering and renedying evilsin foreign lands, ii
is idle to say that no relief can be found for those
| at home. For surely, if we can comprehend the
social sores of others, so as to fix upon the very
medicine that is to remove them, VIC can under
stand our own social diseases even better, and
easier divine their panacea. But if it is money
alone that is wanted, surely that can be procured
also.
In New-York it is proposed to open boarding
houses, as beginning, where, for low sum,
good accommodations be furnished to poor
needle women. A large spacious dwelling has &C
cordingy been rented in Broome street, principally
through the munifcencc of merchant of Brook
lyn and the price of board fixed at one dollar and
quarter per week, with conveniences of baths
&c, without additional charge, and with a sales
room attached toit. We have already Houses O
| Industry in Philadelphia, where work is provided
and sales effected, but, we believe, no boarding
house. The movement seems to us n step, at least
in the right direction. Cannot something similar
be done hire? Once introduce an entering wedge
into this social evil, and victory is CERTAIN"

ExpEprrros TO JAPAs.-The unique cabal at

EXPEDITION TO JAPAS.-The unique cabal at
the head of our National affairs at Washington
are certainly attracting no small share of pub
lie wonderment, if not concern, towards the
shameless Inconsistencies which mark their adj
ministrative career.
Among the MANY inconceivably strange oper-
atoms for an administration that has preached
so long and loudly against intervention either
by word or deed in the affairs Of other coun-
tries, is the new notion of sending squadron
to the Island of japan in the Chinese Ocean,
avowedly to induce that nation to open its ports
to our commerce and its territory to our citi-
zens. All strange enough in men who thun-
dered forth the strongest anathemas against
any interference on the part of our people with
Cuban affairs.
Pray, let US ask, what earthly right has Mr..
Fillmore to do this? Has Congress authorized
this expedition? In what particular does it diff
fer, save as to the amount of governmental au-
thority from the expedition to Cuba last years
Is not this same Administration, now at work
on one hand endeavoring to convict sundry par
ticipators in the Cuban invasion, while with the
other it is fitting out this piratical onslaught on
the inoffensve people Of Japan!
Japan has adopted q policy of non-inter-
course; she had right to do so. But the Adj
| tulnlStTulOU tUluhS IL Will Oe u Capltui iuca W
initiate England in her dastardly and despicable
policy towards China, in forcing trade. 1t
will be but faint imitation to be sure, for the
powerless arm of Wing Administration un-
sustained by the people, would not really CON-
pare with the strong and energetic policy which
the English Government pursued. That pol
icy never retraced movement, but went for
ward with stately tread, placing the iron heel
If desnotir mower on the necks of the Chinese
1t went forward to the accomplishment of ils
purpose, even though determination should at
tend upon every step. And why! Because
China had refused to trade with England.
In faint imitation of this English policy, the
Administration propose to send body of sail
ors and marines to the capital Of Japan, that
they may talk to the Government through the
lannon's brazen throat, on the subject of nom
intercourse. They think the japanese are be-
nighted on the subject of trade, and they pro-
pose to enlghten them. They are for debating
the matter with powder and bali, or at the point
of the bayonet. bet. Free Press.

AFFAIRS IN OREGoN.-The spirit Of misrule
and the reckless prohgacy in the use of the
public money which have characterized the gov
eminent since the wing party obtained the ex-
ecutve sway, shows itself even in the remotest
ramifcations of the administration. The last
accounts from Oregon informs us of certain
high-handed proceedings on the part of the
Governor and Secretary Of Oregon which have
created universal Indignation and complaint
among the people of the Territory and its leg
islature. The law of Congress Of lS4S crea-
ting territorial government for Oregon, au-
thorizes the Legislature to fix the seat of gov
eminent of the Territory. The Legislative As
sembly accordingly fixed it at place called Sa-
lem, and the Governor refuses to sanction and
actually vetoed the act, although in a clear and
unquestionable pursuance of the power CIV
en- by act of Congress to erect the public bull
dings for the seat of government. The Secre-
tary of the Territory is charged upon the au-
thority of a resolution passed by the legislative
assembly with loaning out the public money in
his hands, and being thus unable to pay the
members their per diem. The legislature ad-
journed after passing resolution requesting
their delegate in Congress to seek some redress
for the outrageous grievances the Territory is
subjected to under its present wing rule.

GREAT ATTRACTION! The wonderful, musi-
cal prodigy, Miss Greenfield, otherwise the
Black Swan" has arrived in this city and is TO
favor our citizens with grand concert al Fire
mems Hall, on Monday evening next. This
celebrated songstress has made trumphal pro-
gress through the country since her professions
al debut, and the exquisite beauty and richness
Of her tones have elected the warmest applause
Of wondering audiences. In New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, &C., the verdict Of popular
approval was very unanimous in her favor, and
public expectation seems to have been more
than ordinarily gratifed. From the Boston At
las we clip the following critical notice.
"The skin of the Ethiopian may be changed,
aud the leopard's spots also, but can't be " rub
bed OUT that the Black Swan is trump. She
took all the tricks last night, winning the game
completely. The public, before hearing her,
had very indefinite idea Of what she was (; but
after the first song, there was no longer any
doubt. 1t was amusing to behold the utter sur
prise and intense pleasure which were depicted
upon the faces of her listeners; they seemed TO
express" Why, we see the face Of the black
woman, but we hear the voice of an angel;
what does it mean!" 1t certainly is astonish-
ing, and we are astonished with the rest. Her
voice is of extraordinary compass, the tone
clear, rich and full; and the execution very
tasteful.
Even with the memory of Jenny Lind, Kate
Hayes, and Parodi, fresh within us, we cannot
but record our opinion that Miss Greenfield is
singer of extraordinary merit, who will yet win
fame scarcely second to any cantairce in the
world, and with every step she takes in public,
we shall look to see fresh laurels upon her eb-
on brow"
Of course public curiosity here is on tiptoe
to behold the object of so much interest, and
listen to the notes which have so enchanted the
eastern public Tickets should be procured
early in order to secure seats in the general
rush that may be expected on this occasion.

We announced last week that arrangements
had been made for reporting the case of the
People VS.. g. M. Mills, now on trial in the Cir
cult Cou TT in this city, and that we intended to
publish the testimony in the Enquirer and from
day to day on slips. At the request of counsel
on both sides we have been induced to change
our determination. BY an order of court the
witnesses in the case are excluded from the
court room, except when under examination
To publish the testimony as contemplated
would nulify the effect ofthat order,which would
be improper. We regret this as much as our
subscribers can. The deep interest felt in this
case by the whole community, induced us to un-
dertake to publish the proceedings as the trial
progresses, which is not unusual in such cases,
and we are only prevented from so doing by the
circumstances of the case, which we doubt not,
will prove satisfactory reason to those whom
we thereby dsappoint.
The trial commenced in earnest on Monday
morning. Mr.. Church opened the case to the
jury on behalf of the prosecution, in clear and
somewhat lengthy statement Of the facts which
they intend to prove, and forcible argumenta-
tive review ofthe conclusions to be drawn there
from. They are now proceeding in the examin-
alton Of witnesses. At the present rate of pro-
gression the trial must last two weeks or up

s8g@ Charles Dushane, Frenchman, resi-

by an Indian, on Thursday last. 1t appears that
the Indian who had just arrived in town by the
steamer Algoma, from Grand Rapids, called at
the bar of one of the groceries in town, for
whiskey-when he was told in English by the
young man attending, that he could have none.
Mr.. Dushane, who stood by, interpreted the re-
fusal for whiskey, when the Indian drew his
knife and stabbed Mr. Dushane, and ran for the
woods south of the village. He was pursued
by Sheriff ScoTT and several others, and in a
half hour was taken and lodged in Jail. Mr. D.
is said to have received only flesh wound.
