The Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill was last night read a second time in the House of Lords, and after a very interesting debate re ferred to a Select C ommittee. The gross defects of the existing law, and the great injustice in flicted on women, imperatively require speedy and effectual remedies. Bat 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 sex, whom every true-hearted man will desire to protect and assist in every difficulty and trial. The bill which the Lord Chancellor has intro duced may possibly alleviate some of the defects of the existing systems of divorce a vincula ma trimonii. Bat it is only calculated to assist the aggrieved husband, while it 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. Con. 23, Before an Ecclesiastical Court, for a divorce, a inensa 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 persons who cannot afford to expend, under the most favourable cir cumstances; some 1,5001. or 2,0001. ; and in con troverted elites perhap s double or treble the amount. Bat th© new Court, consisting of the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice, and the Judge of the Court of Probate, cannot be pro ceeded. in, either cheaply or expeditiously. The dignity of the Judges will require thatmatters should be conducted without regard to expen se ; aid the numerous demands on the time of at least two 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 jnflgtnen 4 ; will inva riably be pronounced by the Judge of the Court of Probate—(who will be auth or i se d a l one t o de a l 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 co ll us i on ; so that the expense will still prevent reli e f from being obtained in 99 obit 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. LOI&LYNDHURST and Lord BROUGHAM, in their brilliant and convincing arguments, proved the utter. inadequacy of the measure. The former Noble Lord 'pada a speech worthy of his high reputation, which well merited the high eulogiuma which it received, and left little if abyching to be wished for. He clearly and distinctly pointed out the fl 'grant grievances under which females, who have the misfortune to be united to brutal or profligate husbands, are suffering, which he classified under four heads—viz., " with respect to property, personal protection, actions for criminal conversation, and divorce !" In every point the weaker party is subjected to gross in justice, and is left totally helpless by the boasted laws of England in the 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 has inherited, but even the proceeds of her own industry, may be swept away, and herself and her children deprived of the common 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, and even 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 moms 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 " &aye," excites our sympathies. Why should we not look to the condition of these nearer home, and for whom we ought to be more deeply interested ? In actions for criin. con. tile woman is more deeply interested than either plaintiff or defen dant. It is chiefly a question of damages between them ; but, although all that renders life valuable be at stake, she has no locus stand;—canuot even be reprerated at the trial. She may practically b 3 conieuned without the opportunity of being heard in her own defence. Her oath will not be received, and she may be condemned and driven om 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-wozd and reproach. And yet, in consequence of a legal fiction, that her interests are invariably identified with those of her hu'band, 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 what may be required to sava 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 to which the best acknowledgment under ordinary circum stances is—tl: l ,inic yoii 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 charity, that., save on certain cJoditions, the win dows of those who don't illuminate may be broken, all good subjects are bouud to thank the Government for leaving them to do as they like without molestation in the matter. Thank you, most chameleon-like of Premiers—thank you fur that 9 . Only, with that fine versatile genius of yours, don't change your mind till after the 29th. The British population, then, whose forefathers used to wait for no vivacious septuagenarian Pre 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 be illuminated on the day of Governmental re joicing or not? 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 way 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 say the way in which Government drifted into war, and carried on the War, was otherwise than discreditable. nd 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 for 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 honourable one Z Why, it's not safe. It mey be broken next week. An ho nourable peace ? Why, the French EMPEROR, and not we, dictated it—the French EMPEROR and Austria, arid not we, wanted it—the French Emeeiton and Austria, and not we, served their turn by it. An honourable peace ? What, in the interests of the tyrants of I sly H aiour able ? What, in that it betrayed 'Sardinia ? Ho nourable ? In HEAVEN'S name who shall say that peace is honourable that leaves us in such a predicament—we so low and our ante plaint so high that special messengers must be despa•ched to St. Pe'ersburg to soothe and Pacify the irate add uselessly deceived Mus covite. An honourable peace ? If so, the key to it is not to be found in the harb:eur and fortifica tions to the North of Sebastopoi—nor in the -elation-balls, nor on Cathcart buried millions of bill, eior in the valley s and by the hill-sideswhere repose, in the winding -sh ee t o f a nat i on ' s gratitude and respect, the bravest of our heroic brave—the chivalry of the p esp l e. Not in Bala klava. Not in the Crimea at all. Nor yet in the Baltic. Turn whither you will, and no other lesson shall you be able to discover ; but, that having expended all that was needful for a great and glorious peace, without having secured the main objects of the War, you left the enemy so little weakened as to need an embassy of concilia tion, and so much permanently strengthened, as I a fun discovery of its weak points cats strengthen TIDE Ci 15, 1, , 0 DON , WEDNESDAY EVEN 1' r'T MA Y 21 , 185 6. a rising and adventurous nation. Au hououra6-le 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 ! 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 !" 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- Lud himself--either by denyin , g, 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 boun.l to Austria, to even a greater extent than that contained in the separate Treaty of the 15th April. Mr. DISRAELI, in his speech on the Budget, showed how far our representatives had gone in entering into such a contract, and the effect which it must have on the minds 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 chains of Austrian despotism on Italy, and paralyse the exertions of our brive and faithful Sar dinian Adios, may be doubted ; but certainly it is calculated to proluce such results, and, in whatever point of view it ruly be regarded, must be considered as a peculiarly infelicitous and un toward result of the secret diplo,nacy so strenu ously insisted on by the friends of the Coburg- German influence, now so prevalent in every de partment of the State. i L ii m aral * • AE a ill Pv6 W .

Intelligence from Constantinople of the 10th states that a convention has been entered into between the Porte and the Western Powers by which the troops of these latter are not to com pletely evacuate the Ottoman territory before a period of six months. BERLIN, MAY 19. Cartain new measures, which threaten the ne ptiation of foreign securities at the Bourse, have produced considerable sensation. General Wil liams has arrived at St. Petersburg, and -will shortly return to England. Workmen are still employed on the fortifications of Revel. At Archangel, the sailors of the fleet of S.•bastopol were received with enthusiasm by the people. HAMBURG, MAY 19. The MiniAter Burkall ia to accompany the Em- peror of Russia to Warsaw.

FR A.NCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Mouiteur 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 decrease are coffee, 290,401 f. ; raw cotton, 292,259 f. ; wool, 361,711 f.; foreign sugar, 791,015 f. ; sundries, 44,9561. Those which have increased the most are French colonial sugar, 384,023 f.; pepper, 85,965 f.; lead, 37, 711 f.; bar iron, 91;816f. ; cocoa, 13,634 f. A Paris letter, in the Independarve Beige, says ;—" The Empress has definitively decided on carrying into execution a most useful idea. A de cree will shortly appear in the Moniteur, declaring the creches (asylums for young children) to he public establishments, and assimilating them to the regulations of hospitals. The Empress thus enlarges the circle of charitable influence of which she is the originatress and the centre. She is already the protectress of establishments for the education of children, of maternity, of the deaf and dumb, and of the bliad institutions ; and now she will likewise be patroness of the creches."

The Railway Share Market closed buoy antly, and a large business was tratisaced at full prices, at the current rates of Monday. The weekly trade report from Antwerp states that business has been remarkably steady, and transactiona to a fair amount concluded in the chief articles imported. The public sales of cotton dur ing; the week ranged from 43e. to 69. i. per !, kilo. for mixed sorts, among which were 151 bales Louisiana ; good ordinary realised 31c. to 32c. ; middling, 34c. to 35c ; and good middling, 35ic. to 36c. per . kilo. The imports comprised 2,756 bales New Orleans, and 656 New Yolk. 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, but prices made no advance at the close of the week. Batavia sorts were in demand at 35ic. to 361 c., for St. Domingo 331 c. to 34c. ; Brazil 25e. to 26c., and ditto superior quality 28c. to 31c. per half kilo. Tire arrivals from Holland included 1,163 bags. In wool there was a rise in quota tions, and the imports comprised 1,508 bales Buenos Ayres, 92 ditto Monte Video, and 79 bales Eng land, and 235 bales La Plata, which were sold at advanced prices. A new company, called the " Fibre and Paper 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., 10:1),OCO! , is subscribed. At the adjourned Court 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 tho last meeting, was again submitted for confirmation. The feeling of opposition was but faintly displayed on this occasion, so that, after a few observations fig,n Mr. Twining, the Chairman, Mr. Lewin, and Mr. Jones, the original motion was carried with only four dissentients, and the Court adjourned. The Money Market is now rather easier than for some time past, but no quotable decline has taken place in the rates charged for the negotiation of commercial paper. Tee demand, however, is less active, and the supply has been augminted by the surplus deposits sont into Messrs. Rothschild with app:ica.tious for allotments in the New Loan having been returned. The recent improvement iu Consols Lai tempted a few sellers, whose operations have checked the upward t ndency in prices. Yesterday a reaction of to per cent. occurred owing to a pressure of stock upon the market, but although some sales have again been effected this morning no further decline of importance has taken place in the quotations. Consols for money are 94 4-, and for account they opened at 9q and have since been 941 *. The New Scrip is 1' premium. The New 3 per Cents. are 93;g- Z, and the Reduced 927, to 93.

In Railway Shares there is a general decline of about 55., but in some cases it is rather more. This downward tendency has been produced by the re actionary movement in the Funds.

ENGLAND AND THE ENGLISD (LADY) IN 1556 —A surprising change has come over the domestic habitudes of our fair countrywomen. The ladies of the 'United ingdotti, tip to a recent period, dedicated themselves, with a pilgrim-like earnestneSS, to hnitting, netting, spinning, and the various mysteries of the t eta', It was deemed the most striking mark of attention to word 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 fluoue, and a lady find it for the most part unnecessary to "ply the busy needle" in order to provide Geed/ with various requisitions. Home work is manifestly on the decline ; and this is a matter of congratulation, for an improvement in the health of families is a certain conse quence. Let us hope : that a oomplete revolution is oc curring in these matters, and that health and solid edu cation will take the place of sedentary waste of t•titte and intellect. And if this applies to families resident here ) how much more important is it in connection with those who are proceeding to India or the C intieent. Messrs. Jay appear to have foreseen the requirements of the coming age, and have, eitti much judgment, fitted up one of the tine-t wale:moles in London, at their Spen 'alia, 246, Regent street, for the furnishing of ladies' ready•made linen—awl the utelerlo has already been most successful. f orning Berald. SOUND AND UNSOUND MANAGEMENT. --The public attentien having reoent!y been Called to certain disclo sures made with respect to the condition of acme of the newly-establi-hed assurance companies, there is cons.- derahte daneer that the cenclusien will be arrived at that what is really an exceptional case applied generally to such iestittnions as are of recent origin, end thus mate rial injustice may be done to the interests of those so cieties whose operations are prudently and honestly con ducted Avert from any fraeduleet dealing, it is our cenvietien that the unefable position of the companies we allude to has mainly arisen from that eaeerness to attra,et busine-s which is exhibited by the fallaoious eye tern of ton frequent di-tributione of profits--a fatal bar rier, in our opinion, to the attainment of perfect security or lasting proseerity. It is not our wish to draw invi dious distinctions, but we propose as a matter of justice to call attention, as opportunity is afforded us, to tho healthy progress of such of the modern offices as in our opinion deserve the support of the pubic. We have, for instance, recently seen Force pavticulars respecting the " Sovereign" Life Office, which shows, in an unusual degree, Ve result of a sound system of management. That society has, during the last ten years, received 90.000/. for effecting assurances upon upwards of 2,000 lives, only 51 of whom have fallen in, requiring the com paratively small sum of 14,8581. 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 trete iniutes paid have been required to meet claims, the fends of the office must be considerably augtrented. From other statements we have reason to believe that the potation of.this office .is of the eou, (lest• eteesseter, and may be safely resorted to by those who.wish to take the precaution no prudent man now neglects..-Globe, May 9. • •',~: TIT F; PEACE.

MINOS. llEft AAJESI'Y'S TBEATRE„ LaA night "La Slnnanoula " was performed here, the roe of Atnina being taken by Alboni. She does not, quite come up to the idea of the village maiden who pines under false suspici nn, nor of one lieely to get out of attic windows and walk safely over a plank and brok-n wells, but, in spite of her personal disadvantages, Alloni sings Bsllines music with consummate taace and beauty ; and in thus essaying characters which belong to voices of a purely soprano register, shows that she can never be unwelcome in anything she undertakes. Tne opening cavwina, " Gune per me serene.," was a masterly display of vocal art, and exhibited a species of fini-hed execution and choice of ornament at once orio'. nal and felicitous. The duet with E' , ino was, alsoa sweet eff.:rt. The air, "Ah non credea," 7.e have never known given with more feeling, or fr i tuened a pr fou::der effeA upon the audi-ncet Signor Calz'ilari was the Elvin., and w e conui wish a batter; his singing was 1-mitless. Benever:cano took the part of Rodolpho, ai h but in-lifferer:. Liza was personated by Mdle. Rizzi, Woo did full justice to tie character, and obtained an. encore in the air " De lioti." SADLER'S - WELLS THEATRE. On Monday night a house crowded in every part tes tified to the public appreciation of Mr. Howard Glover's introduction of the English opera at this theatre. The opera selected for the first night of the brief season— which is said to be for only seven nights—was "The Bohemian Girl." 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 that new and additions' music had been composed by Mr. Balfe. The mere fact of the part of Thaddeus being taken by Mr. Sims Reeves, the best of English tenors, was sufficient to insure a well-filled house ; and it is but bare justice to him to say that never did he sing with greater spirit and effect—a fact endorsed by the oft, repeated plaudits of the audience. Mrs. Sims Reeves as Arlin..., and Miss Poole as the Gipsy Queen, were both very effegtive. Mr. Delavanti performed the part of Devilshoof with much ability ; and Mr. Weiss, as Count Arobeim, sang the leading song of his part, "The heart bowed down," with great pathos. The opera was fol. lowed by a farce, which went off well. The night's entertainment, as a whole, was excellent, and such as shou:d insure to Mr. Glover a prosperous season.

Spratt, rt,N., late of her Majesty's ship, Spitfire. AUSTRIA. The semi-official joutnal, the Dusseldorf Gazette, has the following under date of Vienna, 15th : " Austria is now endeavouring to effect a reform of tha Germanic Confederation, and one of such a kind that the different sovereigns would renounce a part of their power, although it certainly is not through that Austria will make the same abandon ment for her German possessions. Austria an nounces that theZAlverein will terminate in 1861), in order that Germany may be confounded with the Austrian monarchy, and an empire of central ,Europe be thus prepared by degrees. Austria nas brought over to her cause a number of the organs of the press, not only in Austria, but in Paris and at Frankfort. The future condition of Gerinany will not be decided on without some difficulty, for when the voice not only of Prussia, but of the rest of Germany, shall be heard, it will be 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 bo a backward step in the spontaneous development of nations, and the loss of the great intellectual liberty of Germany." A letter from Vienna, of the 14th, in the Swabian Mercury, says " The notes exchanged between the Cabinets of Vienna and Paris on Italian affairs have bad 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 be wrought in Rome, which are based on the secularisation of the administration. Count do Buol has had several conferences with the Papal nuncio, Cardinal Viale Prela, on the subject ; but it would appear that the overtures mid° by this prelate have not given complete satisfaction, for they inspire doubt with respect to the goodwill of the Roman court to effect the secularisation of the government." SERVICES OF LIEUP.-GENERAL VIVIAN, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. STA—Can any of your readers enlighten me as to the services of Lieutenant-General Vivian during 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 bins to be appointed a Government Director of the East India Compsny, under the recent act, at a salary of 1,2001. per annum, and the usual patOmage ? Sir Colin Campbell, Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir Richard England, and other general officers who have served in the Crimea, must hide their diminished heals for the future when the gallant services of this child of Fortune, a lieuteeant-gerieral, are placed is the scale against them. Perhsps another lucky general ap pointed uoder him to conrnand a division may have had a hand in it—the son-in-law of Lord Harding:a. There is an old vulgar saving, trite but true, " Scratch me," &c. However, I shall anxionsly 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 service, must have had him ro dinnir. &c., lately at Buckingham Palace. He in.iy b, a dashing officer ; but whoever reads the sup plementary paper recently issued on the fail of ICsrs may ferm their own conclusion on that point, an d may bless their stars that they were riot like the brave Gen. Williams, depending on sects a general to aff , rd when it c mulni have been so if there was the wish H ow the hero of K ire roust feel when he perii:ies the said document, and the obstacles thrown in the way by those who ought to have been the fir- 1, - to have volunteered t o relieve him. Se c h a mass of special pleading, at the in stigation of oth e r s , it has never been my fate to hav e read, and unworthy o f a B r itish officer. It is look e d on by military m en ae d th e public, and those with th e slightest feeling of honour or soldier like feeling, with the most infinite contempt.—l remain, Sir, your obe. dient servant, A SOLDIER WHO HAS SERVED.
