tice that the employers themselves holding meet
ings for the purpose of inducing the councils to so
with certain contemplated improvements, in order
that portion of them at least may be saved from
the want of the necessaries of life. More partcu-
ary is the present crisis realized there by the thou
sands of working women, who, at the best, can
scarcely exc out existence, during the rsors ola
hard winter. For them should special appeals be
made to the philanthropists not only of New York
city but ofevery place throughout the country Our
and all other Southern cities know not the de-
gree of distress that may pinch fellow men in

give but gloomy prospect so long as the present

European Wharf.-The Future.

The New York Courier and Enquirer, in the

CONDITION of the belligerents, aud the probable
results to ensue:
Our European Intelligence presents no very dcci-
ded feature, and vet lis general tenor goes TO make
il the more certain that the issue OF the present
campaign will be the complete possession OF the
Crimea by the Allies. IL needs no great military
science to appreciate the uncomfortable position Of

and on the flank, by victorious enemy-are sur

on "the incessant proofs of the readiness of every
body to sacrifice family property, and the last drop
of blood for the integrity of the Empire and the
honor of the country" 1t would be pleasant to think
such language a mere flourish of imperial rhetoric,
but, unhappily, it is in perfect keeping with that
quality Of srubborness which, more than any other,
trait has signalsed the Muscovite race from time
immemorial. For the Allies to give up their pro-
posed object Of binding Russia to future good be-
havour, and especially for them to give it up after
their late success, is morally impossible. England
and France, the one with her money, and the other
with her men, have every means of prosecuting the
war; and most assuredy viii prosecute it until Rus
sian obstinacy, adamantine it may be, yields to
that necessity against which all human will is pow
erless. The Emperor Alexander says, with mingled
bitterness and triumph, "The brave defenders OF
Sebsstopol have done every thing possible for hui
man power TO do;" and he accepts the event as
'the inscrutable will of Providence" The day will
come, unless he anticipates and avoids IL by pru
dence be has not yet evinced when he will be con-
strained to similar language in reference not to
Sebastopol but to the whole Empire. Meantime,
this hOrrd of war must push itself inc xoraoy
on compelling all christendom to shudder at its do
ings.
