The Divorce an I AI ttritnonial Causes Bill was last night real a second time in the Elouse of Lords, and after a very interesting dehafe re ferred to a Select C enrnittee. The gross defects of the existing law, and the great injustice in flicted on women, imperatively require speedy and effectual remedies. But certainly the measure of the Lord Chancellor does not by any means meet the evil, and something far more extensive is urgently demanded, not only as a matter of gene ral policy, but as an act of simple justice towards the se; whom every true-hearted man will desire to protect and assist is every difficulty and trial. The bill which the Lord Chancellor has intro duced may possibly alleviate some of the defects .r,f the existing systems of divorce a vincitlo ma trimenii. Bat it is only calculated to assist the aggrieved husband, while places the injured wife in even a worse poSition (if that be pos sible) than that she now occupies. It pro poses to constitute a new tribunal, which may deal with the question of divorce absolutely, and afford relief on a single trial, in place of re quiring three proceedings-Ist, before a superior court of Common Law, in an action for Crim. Cum. 2d, Before an Ecclesiastical Court, for a divorce, a mensa et there ; and 3d, before Par liament for a private bill. The enormous cost of these multifarious proceedings are such as to ope rate as a prohibition to all persona who cannot afford to expend, under the most favourable cir cumstances, some 1,5001. or 2,0001. ; and in con troverted cases perhaps double or treble the amount. But the new Court, consisting of the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice, and the J u d ge of the Court of Probate, cannot be pro expeditiously. The seeded in, either cheaply or dignity of the Judges will require that raatters should be conducted without regard to expens e ; add th e numerous demands on the time of at least tw o of its members will render it somewhat difficult to procure the attendance of a full Court. In fact, except in cases that have created a sensation in the fashionable world, the judgment will inva riably be pronounced by the Judge of the Court of Probate—(who will be authorised alone to deal with all these cases)—and then will come the appeal to the House of Lords, which will be preferred in every instance where there is no collusion ; so that th e expense w ill still prevent reli e f f rom being obtained in 99 out of every 100 cases. All that can be said in its favour is that it would be some slight amelioration of the existing system, so far as the parties who can avail themselves thereof are concerned, but would still exclude the great body of the people, and leave them without hope or prospect of redress. Lord LYNDHURST and Lord IlitouonAm, in their brilliant and convincing arguments, proved the utter inadequacy of the measure. The former Noble Lord made a speech worthy of his high reputation, which well merited the high eulogiums lbcotwo "MMIII _. ..~ t ~~; .. ,~: which it receivoo, and left little if anything to wished for. He clearly and distinctly pointed out the fl tgrant grievances under which females, who have the misfortune to be united to brutal or profligate husbands, are suff3riog, which he classified under four heath—viz., " with respect to property, personal protection, actions for criminal conversation, and divorce !" In every point the weaker party is subjectel to gross in justice, and is left totally helpless by the boasted laws of England in tho latter part of the 19th century. As to property, it may be that, while the parties are united and living together harmoniously, there may be no necessity for any modification of the law, although it certainly seems rather unfair that what the woman has herself brought into the common stock should be liable not only to the disposal of the husband himself, but the claims of his creditors. Not only the property she h.s inherited, but even the proceeds of her own industry, may be swept away, and herself and her children deprived of the oommeu necessaries of life, in consequence of acts over which she has no control, and for which she cannot in any degree be held respon sible. But whatever may be said of those who are living together—what reason can be urged why a man who has been separated from his wife in consequence of his own misconduct should be enabled to turn her out of house and home, to sell her furniture, andeven to seize on her earnings. She may be separated by reason of his cruelty or adultery—and yet she is " homeless, helpless, hopeless,' almost destitute of civil rights." She cannot legally enter into a contract ; or, if if she does so, has no means of enforcing, although she may possibly be bound. She may be de famed, without the prospect of obtaining redress. The condition of the "Pariah," or the "Slave," excites our sympathies. Why should we not look to the condition of those _nearer home, and for whom we ought to be more deeply interested ? In actions for criin. con. the woman is more deeply interested than either plaintiff or defen dant. It is chiefly a question of dawages between them ; but, althou4h all that renders life valuable ba at stake, she has no locus stand;,—cannot even be represented at the trial. She may practically ba condemned without the opportunity of being iheard in her own defence. Her oath will not be received, and she may be condemned and driven loin society in consequence of a compromise be tween those who may be conspirators against her. All her prospects may be blasted, her home broken up, her children ' taken away, her very name rendered a bye-word and reproach. And yet, in consequence of a legal fiction, that her interests are invariably identified with those of her husband, she cannot strive to protect, herself—even though possessed of friends who would willingly advance the necessary funds— for which, by the way, she must be indebted to charity, as she can offer no security for wha t may be required to save her from what a virtuous and high-minded woman would consider far worse than death. We trust that the reference to the Select Committee will produce such alterations in the Bill as to render it really worthy of acceptance by the English community. In its present form it can be considered but little better than " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare." The announcement made in the House by Lord PALMERSTON, on Monday, in reply to the ques tion of Mr. LINDSAY—" Whether it was expected that private houses should be illuminated" on All-British Fools Day,—to wit, the 29th inst., properly belongs to that satisfactory class for which the best acknowledgment under ordinary circum stances is—thank you for nothing ! Present circumstances, however, lend it some degree of value, for after the tyrannical interference with the liberty of the subject in the Parks, and the latent threat of the Noble Secretary of a popular charily, that, save on certain conditions, the win dows of those who don't illuminate may be brcken, all good subjects are bound to thank the Government for leaving them to do as they like without molestation in the matter. Thank you, most charneleon•like of Premiers—thank you for that ! Only, with that fine versatile genius of yours, don't change your mind till after the 29. h. The British population, then, whose forefathers used to wait for no vivacious septuagenarian Pn mier's directions or assurances as to whether they should illuminate or not, and who had the most brilliant and glorious victories to exercise their discretion over, are now free to take the question into consideration. Shall their private houses he illuminated on the day of Governmental re kicing or net? All Government toadies—all West end traders in money or goods—all that numerous tribe better endowed with money than wit—will doubtless return an answer in the affirmative. What reply may be anticipated from those who are the pith and worth, the intellect and heart, and arms of the nation ? The question that will natu rally arise in their minds is—What should we illuminate for ? The mob are not to break our windows, and what other reason is there ? None has the hardihood to say we have won a glorious peace, or that the triumphs of our arms have been at all commensurate either with the forces at our disposal or the extent of our resources. None will s a y th e way i n which Government drifted into war, and carried on the War, was otherwise than discreditable. Aud who will assert that the absorption of three entire years in putting out our strength redounds at all either to our credit or safety ? None but those who would hold out far our emblem the blooming of the aloes, that Governmental plant which rewards by an ephemeral :flower, of no great beauty, a century of careful training. What sort of a peace is it ? An b onourable one 7 Why, it's not safe. It may be broken next week. An ho- nourable peace ? Why, the French EMPEROR, and not we, dictated it—the French EMPEROR and Austria, and not we, wanted it—the French EMPEROR and AuErtria, and not we, served their turn by it. An honourable peace ? What, in the interests of the tyrants of I . aly ? Honour able ? What, in that it betrayed Sardinia ? Ho nourable ? I a HEAVEN'S name who shall say that peace is. honourable that leaves us in such a pred;Leament—we so low and our anta gonist so high that special messengers must be despatclutd to St. Pe'lersburg to soothe and Pacify tt ie irate and uselessly deceived Mus covite. An honourable peace ? If so , th e k e y to it is not to be found in the harbour and fortifica tions to tb e North of Sebastopol—nor in tint buried millions of cannon -balls, hill, norf.n the v a ll eys nor on C Ithcart and by the hill-side where repc rse, in the winding -sheet of a nation's gratitude and respect, the bravest of our heroic brave—the c hivalry of the pe ap i e. Not in Bala klava. Not in the Crimea at all. Nor yet in the Baltic.

An honour .b;e ' peace Why, it hasn't to leave out honour, the petty merit of being cheap. That's what sort of a peace it is ! Aye, or no. Will you illumi nate your dwellings for it on the 29th ? that blessed day when a debauched Prince, who took French bribes, and also, when king, let a Dutch fleet into the Thames to menace with its thunders the metropolis of our island home, crept into an oak tree to save himself from the risk of being sus pended from its branches, as he even then deserved. We can imagine the indignant * " No !" with which the question will be met by all true-hearted Eng lishmen in the metropolis and elsewhere. Let the Government celebrate its own triumph, at the people's cost in life, limb, and money, and the triumph of its back-stair rulers, if it likes. We have nothing to rejoice for, not even the cessation for a time of the contemplation of war. Illumi nate—not we I - 1" •; - := c • 1 ..taf - 1 1 4 V ;," • MARSEILLES, WEDN'ESDAY, MAY 21, 7.35 A. m.

Americans under 54d. per lb. are the quali ties most pressed for sale. The transactions were estimated between 3,000 and 4,000 bales, 500 of which were taken for export. The sales comprise 100 Bahia, 61(1. to 7d.; and 500 Surat, 44d. tl sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market closed buoy ly, and a large business was transaced at full prices, at the current rates of Monday. The weekly trade report from Antwerp states bat business has been remarkably steady, and transactions to a fair amount concluded in the chief Articles imported. The public sales of cotton dur mg the week ranged from 43c. to 693. per -1 kilo. for mixed sorts, among which were 150 bales Louisiana ; g ood ordinary realised 31c. to 32c. ; niddling,„ 34c. to 35e ; and good middling, 35ic. to 36e. per 1 kilo. The imports comprised 2,756 bales New Orleans, and 656 New Yoik. The market for coffee was quiet, with sales of 1,200 bags St. Domingo in first hands. The arrival of the mail from Rio Janeiro gave great satisfaction, out prices made no advance at the close of the week. Batavia sorts were in demand at 35ie. to 364 c., for St. Domingo 331 c. to 34c: ; Brazil 253. 0 26c., and ditto superior quality 28c. to 31c. per aalf kilo. Tame arrivals from Holland included 1,163 bags. In wool there was a rise in quota ions, and the imports comprised 1,508 bales Buenos Ayres, 92 ditto Monte Video, and 79 bales Eng and, and 235 bales La Plata, which were sold at :Advanced prices. Ir. 'Paid, ~1, 4 .1 9 U 01 13' :41 22 '6 all After all that has been circulated on the sub ject of a Secret. Treaty, it now appears that there has been nothing of the - kind: Lord PALMERSTON last night declared that the only treaty concluded was that which had been laid on the table. This is very satisfactory, although we confess that we should have been better pleased if the Premier had met with a simple negative the question of the Marquis of GRANBY. We must, however, recollect that the Noble Lord is an Irish Peer ; he may, therefore, have followed the precedent supplied by an Irish witness who, in reply to what he considered an impertinent and improper interrogatory, said, " By the virtue of my oath I did not, and whether I had done so or not I would give the same an swer 1." Lord PALMERSTON declared that if there had been a Secret Treaty he should be excused from making it public, and contrived to excite a laugh from the "waiters on PROVIDENCE" at the expense of honest JOSEPH HUME, who was not living to de lord himself—either by denying, or explaining away, the amusing anecdote. We shall say no thing respecting the good taste of the allusion. That is a point on which every man may judge for himself. But it is gratifying to know that we are not privately bound to Austria, to even a greater extent than that contained in the separate Treaty of the 15th April. Mr. Drsiteera, in his speech on the Budget, showed how far our representatives had gone in entering into such a contract, and the effect which it mast have on the mind.s of the people of Eu rope—and more especially of Italy. Whether the effect will be all that has been supposed ; whether it may be to rivet the shamus of Austrian despotism on Italy, and paralyse the exertions of our brave and faithful Sar diuian Allies, may be doubted ; but certainly it is calculated to produce such results, and, in whatever point of view it mty be regarded, must be considered as a peculiarly infelicitous and un toward result of the secret diplomacy so strenu ously insisted on by the friends of the Coburg- Garman influence, now so prevalent in every de partment of the State. THE PEACE. " Quicquid delirant reges, plectuatur achivi." What are we thankful fur ? What h.th the peace achieved ? Have we not rather ample cause To feel ourselves aggrieved At losing the last glorious chance Of breaking Russia's failing lance ? Talk not of Alma more, 'Bout BaiaMaya cease ; No " household word" be Inkermln— For have we not our Peace ? Dimmed is the lustre of each fight, Shrouded in dark disgraceful night !

II ER mitrEscrs THEATRE. Last night "La Sonnambuia " was performed here, the roe of Al Ilion being taken by Alboni. She does not quite come up to the idea of the village maiden who pines under false suspici ii, nor of, one liaely to get out of attic windows and walk safely over a plank and brolt,n walls, hut, in spite of her personal disadvantages, A.ll:oni sings E,llini s music with consummate grace and beauty ; arid in thus essaying characters which belong to voicts of a purely soprano register, shows that she Fah never be unwelcome iu anything she undertakes. Toe opening cavwina, " C tine per me seretio," was a masterly display of vocal art, and exhibited a species of fine-hed execution and choice of ornament at once origi nal and felicit.ms. The duet with Elvino was also a sweet eff,rt. The air, "Ah non credea," we have never known given with more feeling, or witnessed a pr“- fon de, effe .t upon the audi nce. Signor Caiz taxi was the Etviim, and we could not wish a better; his singing wag fr.ultless. Beneventano took the part of Redolpho, but indifferent success. Liza was personated by 'idle. Rizz, who did full justice to the character, anti Ibtained an encore in the air " Da lie,j." &IDLER'S WELLS THEATRE. On Monday night a house crowded in every part tes tifie l to the public appreciation of Mr. Howard Glover's introduction of the Eoglish opera at this theatre. Tile opera selected for the first night of the brief season - which i 4 said to be for only seven nights—was "The Bohemian Girt." Mr. Balfe, the composer, conducted in person ; and the performance of the opera on this occas on acquired an ad litional interest from the fact liat new anti additiona' music had been composed by Mr. 13alfe. The mere fact of the part of Thaddeus being taken by Mr. Sims Reeves, the be-t of Eoglish tenors, yeas sufficient to insure a .well filled house ; and it is bet bars justice to him to say that never did he sing with greater spirit and effect—a fact endorsed by the oft repeat-3d plaudits of the audience. Mrs. Sims Reeve as Arlin, and Miss Poole as the Gipsy Queen, were both very effective. Mr. Delavanti performed the part of Devilsboof with much ability ; and Mr. Weiss, as'Count Areheim, sang the leadin g S ong o f hi s part, " The heart bowed dow n ," with great pathos. The opera was fol lowed by a farce, which went off well. The night's enterts.ioment, as a whole, was excellent, and such as shim d insure to Mr. Glover a prosperous season. ARRIVAL OF PRINCE FREDERICK OF PRUSSIA—DOVER, Wednesday.—Prince Frederick %Yawn of Prussia ar rived at Dover at midnight from Ostend.

A new company, called the "Fibre and Paper I Manufacturing Company, (limited)" is in course of Formation, and the promoters are confident of the ultimate success of the project, if the capital re ed, viz., 100,0001, is subscribed. At the adjourned tiourt of the proprietors of East India Stock held this day, Lieutenant-Colonel Sykes in the chair, the resolution for the grant of ' 5,0001. a year to the Earl of Dalhousie, late Go vernor General of India, agreed to at the last I meeting, was again submitted for Confirmation. ; 1 rho feeling of opposition was but faintly displayed ,n this occasion, so that, after a few observations ooa Mr. Twining, the Chairman, Mr. Lewin, and Mr. Jones, the original motion was carried with onl four dissentients, and the Court adjourned. 2 The Money Market is now rather easier than for some time past, but no quotable decline has. taken ;,lace in t!. , A) rates charged for the negotiation of commercial paper.

ENGLP.ND AND THE ENGLISH (LADY) IN ISS6.—A surprising change has come over the., domestic habitudes of our fair countrywomen. The ladies of the United Kingdom, up to a recent period, dedicated themselves, with a pilgrim-like earnestness, to knitting, netting, spinning, and the various mysteries of the needle. It was deemed the most striking mark of attention to work a set of shirts for a brother or other near relative. The outfitter has now rendered all such employment on the part of the female branches of a family completely super fluouti, and a lady finds it for the most part unnecessary to "ply the busy needle" in order to proviee herself with various requisitions. Home work is manifestly on the to decline; and this is a matter of congratulation, fer an 2( improvement in the health of families is a certain conse- 40 quence. Let us hope tbat a complete revolution is on. eti claming in these matters, and that health and solid edu- 10 cation will take the place of sedentary waste of tine and !,0 intellect. And if this applies to families resident here, how much more important is it in connection with those ( 4 ., who are proceeding to India or the Continent. Messrs. Jay appear to have foreseen the requirements of the 2 ; doming age, and have, eitli much judgment, fitted up 2 0 one of the finest wareroorns in London, at their Sporn to salis, 246, Regentratreet, for the furnishing of ladies' 2ei ready-made linen—and the undertaking has already been most succesefule—Morning Berald. 8 SOUND AND UNSOUND MANAGEMENT. —The public te attention having recently been called to certain disclo- 20 cures made with respect to the condition of some of the 2( 6 ) .newly-established assurance companies, there is cops:- 20 (ierahle dancer that the conclusion will be arrived at that what is really an exceptional case applies generally to such institutions as are of recent origin, and thus mate rial injustice may be done to the interests of those so cieties whose operations are prudently and honestly con- 25 ducted. Apart from any fraudulent dealing, it is our I 101 conviction that the unstable positien of the companies I !O we allude to has mainly arisen from that eaiserness to )( 2 attract busine.s which is exhibited by the fallacious sys 25 - teru of too frequent distributions of profits—a fatal bar I aft - rier, in our opinion, to the attainment of perfect security E y or lasting prosperity. It is not our wish to draw invi dious distinctions, but we propose as a matter of justice 1 to call attention, as opportunity is afforied us, to the healthy progress of such of the modern offices as in our opinion deserve the support of the pubic. We have, for instance, recently seen souse particulars respecting the " Sovereign" Life Office, which shows, in an unusual degree, t , e result of a sound system of management. That society has, during the last ten years. received 90,000/. for effecting assurances upon upwarde of 2.000 lives, only 51 of whom have laden in, requiring the com paratively small surn of 14,558/ to discharge the obliga tions thereby created. These figures show that the greatest care has been taken in the selection of the lives, and evidence the fact, that as only one-sixth of the I re injures paid have been required to meet claims, the funds of the office must be considerably augmented. From other statements we have reason to believe that the position of this office is of the sour dew. character, and may be safely resorted to by those who wish to take the precaution no prudent man now neglecte.—Glebe, May 9. 100 ;100 11(x1 liams has arrived at St. Petersburg, and will shortly return to England. Workmen are stib employed on the fortifications of Revel. At Archangel, the sailors of the fleet of Sebastopol were received with enthusiasm by the people. HAMBURG, MAY 19. The Minister Burkall is to accompany the Eni peror of Russia to Warsaw. It is expected i Poland that there will be a general amnesty, that the University will be re-aitablished, and instruc tion in the Polish language permitted, and that' a Polish guard of 8,000 men will be formed. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Moniteur publishes the official return of the customs revenue for the month of April, which amounted to 14,039,172 f., being a decrease of 1,437,006 f. as compared with the corresponding mouth of last year. The articles contained in this return which show the greatest decreas e are c off ee , 296,401 f. ; raw cotton , 292,259 f. ; wool, 361,7111 ; foreign sugar, 791,02.3f._; sundries, 44,956 f. Tho,e which have increased the most are Frencli colonial sugar, 384,023 F.; pepper, 85,965 f.; lead, 37, 711 f.; bar iron, 91,816 g. ; cocoa, 13,634 f. A Paris letter, in the I2o'ep3nclance Beige, says :—" The Empress has definitively decided or, carrying into execution a most useful idea. Ado cree will shortly appear in the ill oniteur, declaring the creches (asylums for young children) to he public establishments, and assimilating them to the regulations of hospitals. The Empress thu: enlarges the circle of charitable influence of which she is the originatressoand the centre. She already the protectress of establishments for the education of children,. of maternity, of the deaf and dumb, and of the blind institutions ; and now she will likewise be patroness of the creches."

Austria an nounces that theZollverein will terminate in 1860, iu order that Germany may be confounded with the Austrian monarchy, and an empire of central Europe be thus prepared by degrees. Austria has brought over to her cause a number of the organs of the press, not only in A us t r i a , b u t i n Paris and at Frankfort. The future condition of Germany will not be decided on without some 41ifficulty, for when the voice not only of Prussia, hut of the rest of Germany, shall be heard, it will ho by a positive negative that the projects of Austria will be replied to. Germany will not allow herself to be absorbed in an empire of central Europe. That would he a backward step in the spontaneous development of nations, and the loss of th- great intellectual liberty of Germany." A letter from Vienna, of the 14th, in the Swabian Mercury, says " The notes exchanged between the Caoiuets of Vienna and Paris on Italian affairs have had a satisfactory result, and the two States have agreed on the policy to be followed in Italy, The memorandum which Austria and France are on the point of sending collectively to Rome is the best proof of this. It contains several proposals relative to the reforms to he wrought in Rome, which are based on the secularisation of the administration. Count de Buol has had several conferences with the Papal nuncio, Cardinal Viale P re l a , on t h e subject ; but it would appear that the overtures made by this prelate have not given complete satisfaction, for they inspire doubt with respec t to t h e goodwill of the Roman court to effect the secularisation of the government." SERVICES OF LlgUr.-GEVERIL TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Can any of your readers enlighten me as to the services of Lieutendrit-General Vivian (luring the late war with his corps of Turks ? or were his actions so ad vantageous to the country on the banks of the Bos phorus as to entitle him to be appointed a Government Director of the East India Company, under the recent act, at a salary of 1,2001. per annum, and the usual patronage? Sir Colin Campbell, Sir De Lacy - Evans, Sir Richard England, and other general officers who have served in the Crimea, must hide their diminished heads for the future when the gallant services of this child of Fortune, a lieutenant-general, are placed in the scale against them. Perhaps another lucky general ap pointed under him to command a division may have had a band in it—the son-in-law of Lord Hardioge. There is an old vulgar saying, trite but true, " Scratch rue," &c. However, I dial anxiously look out in your journal for the war services of Vivian in India and the Crimea to show forth the career that entitled him to the above munificent reward. Those services must have had him to dinner, &c., late)? at Buckingham Palace. He may be a dashing officer ; but whoever reads the sup plementary paper recently issued on the fall of Kars may form their own conclusion on that point, and may bless their stars that they were not like the brave Gen. Williams, depending on such a general to afford relief, when it could have been so if there was the wish How he hero of Kars must feel when he peruses the said document, and the obstacles thrown in the way by those who ought to have been the fir-t to have •olunte (Tad to relieve him. Such a mass of special pleading, at the in stigation of others, it has never been my fate to have read, and unworthy of a Thitish officer. It is In (lied on by tnilitary men and the public, and those with the slightest feeling of honour or soldier-like feeling, •with the most infinite contempt.—l remain, Sir, your obe dient servant, A SOLDIER WITO HAS SERVED.
