But here, at least, there is a free Press, and public journalists who will faithfully fulfil their functions, however painful, and here the people will learn the truth, however unpalat able to the powers that be, or the possessors of the secret and unconstitutional influence that operates so injuriously to English interests. We cannot, participate in the remarkable self lelusion that characterises the address of Marshal PELISSI ER to his troops. That the French and English iioldiers deserved well of their respective countries rnd of Europe, that they acted with unflinching bravery and indomitable zeal whenever the oppor ;unity was afforded, is indisputable ; but that they; have conquered " a glorious peace" is by no means 40 certain. We fear that the peace, "signed at the cradle of an Imperial infant," will hereafter be spoken of in very different and far less Iflattering terms ; and that, although the resolution, heroic Canstancy, and unflinching -: courage of the soldiers may always receive the, praise so eminently merited, the inaction and in difference of their commanders after the capture of Southern Sebastopol may be very severely = criticised. It will not, then, be forgotten that no -steps were taken to push that success to its legiti. mate results—that no means were resorted to for he purpose of expelling the garrisons from the northern forts, or rendering the fall of Sebas topol complete and decisive—that no advance against Bakshi-Serai or Simpheropol was even attempted —no effort made to drive back the Russian lines from the immediate vicinity of Sebastopol and Balaklava. However compla cently the Gallant Marshal may lay the flattering unction to his soul, there will be more impartial `judges to speak of the character of the peace "signed at the cradle of an Imperial infant." The unsettled state of many of the leading questions will then be properly estimated—when 'he Austrian troops have been entirely removed from the Principalities, and the different Commis lions have made their returns when the Italian problem has been duly solved and the hovering clouds have passed from the political horizon—then, if that happy time should ever mrrive, there may be some cause for rejoicing. But the present condition is far more menacing .han any that has yet arrived. The seeds of uture strife have been sowed with lavish hands, tied there may yet be a fearful harvest to by 4athered. Dii avertite omen. We may hope that the dreadful day of reckoning may be post )oned, but we should not rest while the danger s imminent. We should not, like Italian sailors. )0 contented with offering prayers to their patrol .tint.s during the pressure of the tempest. Evert Hunan effort should first be made, and then w, nay tranquilly abide- the issue, which must rest vith a superior POWER. [At the.request of a number of our Subscribers, we reprint the following Article from The Sun of yesterday.] OnFriday next another attempt will be made !to obtain tardy justice for many families, who, although truly described as "of religious and i moral character," have been driven into opposition , 'against a tyrannical and oppressive law—one of the last and most intolerable remnants of the systematic attacks on the civil and religious liber-1 ties of the subject. On that day the Earl of ST.! GERWINS, who has displayed great zeal and efficiency in his management of the important and interesting subject, will bring forward the secondi reading of the Marriag e L aw A men d ment Bil l, foi l the purpose of legalising marriage with the sister or nieceof a deceased wife. We need scarcely refer to the number of times that measures of a similar cha racter have obtained the sanction of the represen tative branch of the Legislature, or how frequently the well-founded e•Epectations of the parties in terested, have bait defeated by the Fabian policy resost,ed 'to by its bigot e d opponents. We need caw not - explain how tile advocates for restriction on r he, most sacred end inestimable privile ge o f free ',nen, have been driven step by step from the theo logical grounds adopted in the first instance, and :low they have been compelled to acknowledge that there is no express _or inferential Scriptural Aujunetion against the practice recognised in every Protestant country, and only requiring a dispen sation in Catholic States. The question now stands on a doubtful and, lwe may add, obsolete Canon of the Church of England—which is not assented to by a large uurnter of the most eminent and enlightened Prelates and Clergy of the Establishment. flow then can the large and rapidly-increasing body of Dissenters—who see no possible objection to such connexions—be bound by what they ex pr6ssly repudiate ? In other respects the demon of intolerance has been banished from the Island. A man may now avow his religious convictions without dread: of penal consequences, and worship Lis CREATOR in the manner which in his soul and conscience he deems most suitable, without being ,subjected to any disability, save one— and that of the most vexatious character. Ele may be prevented from contracting a marriage calculated to insure his own happiness, and to Greatly benefit his orphan children ; and this, dthough satisfied that it is not prohibited by the, law of GOD, and that, if be possesses wealth sufficient to leave the country for a tern lamely residence abroad, the matter on which his heart is set, may be legallyeffected. It is a cruel, an' , uiquitous law, and the more so, because it affects he poorer classes, while their wealthier brethren can break through its paltry trammels. We trust that justice may at length be rendered to these ong-suffering and much-wronged persons, and not merely to them, but to their innocent children, who may be deprived of their rightful in ieritances, by the infamous enactment. It must be remembered that the advocates for he abolition of these unjustifiable restrictions do oot seek to coerce the consciences of any man or hody of men. They merely demand that those who see nothing wrong in these unions should have permission to act in accordance with their iwn conscientious views; and that demand, oeing based on equity and justice, must ultimately prevail. The following is a brief abstract of the provi ions of the bill introduced by Lord ST. GER MAINE, and the second reading whereof will, we trust, be carried On Friday evening, viz.:— ire .•first Clause repeals so much of any let or Acts of . Parliament as prohibits such Mar THE TREATY OF PEACE.' THE PRECIOUS TREATY! The " Precious Treaty" is now given to the world. It will be found in exienso in another ~tart of this day' s i m p ress i on, and while 'sight veers of all classes, from the Peer to the Peasant, ire gaping at the evolutions of our magnificent acet, the stay-at-homes will have. the opportunity if judging of the results obtained by our extraor- ; Hoary preparations, and considering for themselves Whether they are in any degree commensurate with the serious sacrifices so cheerfully submitted, o by the English People. t It is, indeed, an important and an interesting locuinent, one on the construction whereof the uture welfare and tranquillity of Europe, of the world, will greatly depend, and we must le prepared to bestow on all its varied de- ails that calm and deliberate attention . which its paramount and vital consequence eminently merits. Bitter experience has taught us the unscrupulous nature of some of he pirties concerned, how ready they are to dis ;-. ort language from its true meaning, and to raise tuibblingaud pettifogging objections at which ever. O:d Bailey practitioner might blush We also know the looseness of expression in which Eng ish diplomatists have too frequently indulged, Lad which have almost invited subsequent diE , ;ussion ; and it will be desirable to look closely the terms to see that no opportunities ire unnecessarily afforded from which future • .:omplications may arise. There are in all Thirty-four Articles contained in this Treaty, to which at present we can but briefly allude. The first, of course, proclaims that • rhere shall be a perpetual peace between the prondarn belligerents, and the last relates to the itne within which the ratifications are to he exchanged. The intermediate contain the stipu- ' tions and agreements by which the contracting oarties are henceforward to be bound. There provide for the evacuation, as soon as possible, • pf the territories reciprocally conquered or occu- ;lied by the troops of the different Powers, and the;: ..estoration by Russia of the town and citadel of • ,1 ciages. • 2.—The second Clause provides that no such Marriage which has been, or shall hereafter be, celebrated at any time or place, shall be void or voidable by reason of the affinity of the parties ; and that, for the future such Marriages may be awfully celebrated before a Registrar, under the ict known as 6 and 7 William IV. cap. 85. 3.—The third Clause excepts a Mtrriage of his description, contracted during the subsistence pf a .provious Marriage of• either of the parties ; my such Marriage followed by a valid Marriage 'f either of the parties during the life of the ither ; and any Marriage dissolved by sentence of competent. Court. 4.—The fourth Clause protects all rights which lave accrued under the existing state of the law, • tp to the time of the passing of the Act. Z.—The fifth clause confirms all judicial, ad executory, and trust proceedings. 6.--The sixth Clause relates to the solemnisa `ion of such Marriages by Clergymen of the Church of England, and provides that they shall .iot be repired to solemnise such Marriages, nor ---- - [Cars, and all other parts of the Ottoman terr tories of which the Russian troops are in posses 4ion, and by the Allies of the town and ports of Sebastopol, Balaklava, Kamiesh, Eupa oria, Kertch, and of all the Russian territories now held or occupied. The SULTAN'S firman is referred to with a special proviso, that it shall not' give the other Powers a right to interfere collec- lively or separately in the relations of the SULTAN, with his subjects, or in the internal administra- 'tion of his Empire. The regulations respecting the closing of the B)sphorus are revised, the Black Sea neutralised and interdicted to flags of war, and the admission of Consuls to ports, or the lit toral, of the Black Sea provide , ' for, and an engagement that neither the CZAR nor the SULTAN will construct any milit ary - mar i t i me ar-1 senal upon that coast, and the number of light- vessels for the service of the coasts, and which can neither be annulled nor modified at any future time arranged. The points relating to the navigation of the Danube are then alluded to, and the appointment - - of a Commission provided for, with power to each of the parties to station two light vessels at the mouths of the Danube. Then comes the rectification of the Russian frontiers, aud a provision that the ceded territory shall form pare of the Principality of Moldavia under the suzerainty of the Porte. A' cotnmitsion is appointed for the purpose of settling the constitution of the Principalities, with which, although under the joint guarantees Of the Powers, there shall be no particular; THE SUN, LONDON WEDNESDAY EvE;.:l7kiti, APRIL 23, 1856. ..............._,..._.......-___ --..„.---- of the furnace, and cast into pigs.

In exchange for the towns, ports, and territories enu ierated in Article• 4 of the present treaty, and in order he better to assure the liberty of the navigation of th. Januhe, H. M. the Emperor of all the Russias consents the rectification of his frontier in Bessarabia. The new frontier will start from the Riack Sea at on« ilometre to the east of Lake Bourna Sola, will perpey. cularly rejoin the Akermanroad, follow this read a' r as the valley of Trajan, pass to the south of Belgrade. I c•ascend along the river Yalpuck as far as Saratsika mid will terminate at Kakamori on the Pruth. Abov, his point the old frontier between the two empires wil ,ndergo no modification.

The inhabitants of this territory will enjoy the rights ,nd privileges assured to the Principalities, and duriti t4 he space of three years they shall be permitted to re ,ove their domicile elsewhere, freely disposing of their roperty. DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY AND TO ROYAL FAMILY. This morning the neighbourhood of Bucking' iham Palace and the Park presented an unusuall/ lively appearance, in consequence of the departure r of her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Royal Familh and suite, having been fixed for a very early hour• Shortly after seven o'clock the carriages containing the Royal household, left the Palace, and proceeded to the station of the London and South-Western Railway, at which a train was in readiness to re' -:eive them, and at half-past 7it left for Gosport. At about half-past 8 the Royal carriages drove UP to the Palace, and her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal Family left, and proceeded -to the Nine Elms station of the South-Western Railway On arrival there her Majesty and suite were received the whole of the officials connected with the railway, and were conaucted to the royal train, which was in readiness to receive them. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal t - aulily having taken their seats in the carriages at a quarter to nine, it took its departure for Gosport. The Waterloo station of the railway was all life at a very early hour, it having been arranged that rains would leave there as early as five o'clock for Portsmouth. The train for the conveyance of her Majesty's Ministers and the foreign ambassadors left at a barter to seven o'clock, and that containing the numbers of the Houses of Lords and Commons de 'arted at seven o'clock. Although the two ordinary trains were also de spatched at the same hour as the last mentioned ale, owing to the admirable arrangements of the , allway officials not the least inconvenience was iccasioned, every accommodation that it was possible to make for the vast amount of traffic laving been arranged yesterday, and admirably tarried out to-day. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY (THIS DAY.) Nothing at all to be compared to the bustle and • excitement that took place this morning at South tuipton has been seen for many years past. The itreets during the whole of last night were crowded •)y visitors who had been unable to find acconamo lation at the hotels and lodging-houses, and the consequence was that hundreds were compelled to parade the streets till daylight, and pass the ;ime as best they could. The vicinity of the docks was the favourite place of resort, and what with the jokes passed between the parties, and the exchang ing, of little civilities, such as cigars and cold grog, the time was consumed, on the whole, very plea- Among the most curious of the visitors were the London detectives. On this occasion the plain every-thy clothing was thrown aside, and every low and then we met with one habited as a Jack tar, with a bright tarpauline hat and white ducks, And others in the costume of foreign naval officers. One of the most successful disguises, and which xcasioned us a hearty laugh, was that of a buxom widow, fat, fair, and forty, but beneath the banded :lair and sombre cap we recognised one of the most successful and expert officers of the force. On inquiring the reason for the adoption of such A strange costume, we were informed that a whole lost of the swell mob had quitted London, with the intent of reaping a rich harvest, and that to 'neat and counteract the efforts of such a numter )f noted "professors," the present extraordinary means had been adopted. As early as half past eight immense trains began to arrive from London, and at about ten o'clock the " Parliamentary" train, as it may on this occasion )e termed, arrived with the members of the Imp' rial Legislature. The members of the House of Lords left the rail .vay, and at once proceeded to the screw steam-ship transit, Commander Johnson, and the members of he House of Commons to the steam-ship Perse verance, Commander Macdonald, which conveyed Lbout 450 persons, the remainder of the company iuding accommodation on board the Widgeon, the lonkey, and another vesaol, whioh had been or iered to be in readiness. Although the train arrived in good time, some ,f the members could not be induced to believe the act, and numbers of them might be seen at "full peed" making the best of their way to the docks trough the immensenumber of persons with which be road was crowded. At the appointed hoar the vessels took their de oarture, and Southampton for a time resumed, in some measure, its usual appearance. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY (THIS DAY.) The great event which has caused such intense acitement came off to-day, and was witnessed by :liousands on thousands of persons who flocked from ►ll quarters to the scene. As early as six o'clock steamers from Southamp' ton, Gosport, Isle of Wight, and indeed from all parts of the coast up to the western headland, were ieen making their way towards the Nab, present ing, as may be imagined, a most interesting spec• r,aele. This town presented a scene of the most exciting character, the people being literally wedged in the streets, unable to move in any direction, The Common Hard from early dawn was immensely crowded. Some idea of the extraordinary influx of people • in the town and neighbourhood of Portsmouth may be formed from the fact that during the whole of the night many hundreds of persons of a respectable position in society walked about the streets, having vainly sought accommodation. From sunrise trains on the London and South-Western, the South Coast, the Basingstoke and Salisbury, as well as from other lines running towards Ports .nouth, poured in shoals of anxious excursionists, not one of whom had made the slightest previous arrangement, and were eagerly occupied in making bargains with every boat in the harbour, large and for the purpose of being present at the grand review. Southsea Common presented one of the most ex traordinary sights it has ever been one's good fortune to witness. As far as the eye could reach nothing but one living mass could be discerned. On the esplanade an immense grand stand had been erected for the accommodation of those who preferred to be economical, and also to see the review from terra firma. The admission fee was fixed at 108. ; and from the position and state of the weather this , uorning we should imagine an excellent view o :he whole proceedings was obtained. The very best possible arrangements were made by the directors of the Royal Victoria and Royal Albert Piers—the former having been arranged as the place at which those parties embarking from Portsmouth should take water, and the latter those choosing Portsea as their place of embarkation. Shortly before eleven a Royal salute announced that her Majesty had embarked on board the Royal yacht from the Clarence Yard, and another salute was fired as her Majesty approached Spithead. Her Majesty was accompanied by Prince Albert, thc Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, and the Princess Helena. On arrival at the fleet her Majesty was received by Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, the Com mander-in- ief. The f )Ilowing WAS the official programme determined on by the authorities of the Admiralty:— PROGRAMME.—No. I. On the occasion of her Majesty reviewing the fleet the ships will be anchored at Shithead in two columnQ, at three cables' distance ; the ships of the line at4ine and a half cables apart ; smaller ships at one cable. The ships of the line will anchor to the eastward, then the serew frigates, screw corvettes, and paddle-wheel steamers. The divisions of gun-boats will continue the pine to the westward, two divisions in each line, formed l each into two subdivisional columns (half a cable apart) to the west of its divisional leader. The Meander, Belleisle, floating batteries, exercising brigs, and the mortar vessels, will anchor and form a stationary line from the Spit Buoy to toe western end of Stokes Bay. The Loudon and the Rodney will take up a position ds pivot ships to the E.N.E. of the Nab Light, at four `AUTHENTIC COPY OF THE TEXT. (From Second Edition of the Daily News.)

The contracting powers acknowledge (constatent) th great value of this communication. It is quite under mtood that the fact of this communication cannot in anyl case give to the said powers a right to interfere, either; collectively or separately, in the relations of his Majesty the Sultan with his sul , j cts, or in the internal adininis-A tration of his empire.
