The French have discovered that there is son. thing the matter both with the foundation and the the of their social and political edifice. A recent aeon has informed their own public, and the Euro pe= world, that for the lest five years French population has been all but stationary. On the other bait the Enema and his Ministers have discovered that a singular want of respect is shown for titles el nobility : Those who are entitled to wear will not wear them ; and those who have no right to do -es seems them; and thus the coronets of duke, count, lei baron are !raises dons to bow. This latter catastrophe seems to Wee aided the Imperial Government much more this the lb* frr the Minister 'of Justice has been ordered to !wire into it. Thereupon his Excellency, M. or CountAaaas- Toom, has published a Report, and drawn up s bet, which is under the consideration of the Comae( State. The Minister is quite right. What ban hereditary Emperor without en hereditary NI respected melees* ? We would however, segued to the Oceania Solon, M. Anatfeleort, that a crone ere h a thing that must grow rather Sum le made. The galy way to support a soffeser, and b make it respected, is to allow it to render itself indeperlent, sad lean it something to do as an independent Imity. A notisses bile that which existed before the ben %dem, lisicTing Privilege* , and living tiN awe parkas, whilst performing no dutise,lllthl new mod the contrary of respect. The ihnes, indeed, has been propovaileg nieds• mint upon the state of France which well seen sot to harmonise with this opinion. It attributes the decline of French spirit and population to the Bevelution of 1789; that naughty Revadien tha ANIS away the rsobtesse, that dispelling( re dew, that gave to the people the sou Sr eraintry which they were previously prevented Int wee cultivating as tenants by the dimes and •• winks, and the weight of exclusive taxation. II fie • *sage thing to reproach with a want of esAwyehe a Revolution whose sons marched to Cadiz and te Moscow, to the Pyramids and to Sweden, and wham grandsons were by no means inferior to es at the Malabo. the other day. Eat the population? Well, the French are a mey prudent people. They have small trait in Provi dence, and like to amide their future to themselies. They seldom many without good nutty of livelDeood, and when events disturb homes misalations, and render life a lottery, the French almtain hem marriage altogether. The statisticians of Paris have been taxed to account for the stationary more at whisk the population has arrived. They have laboured to palliate and explain, but have really mid nothing to the purpose. The hat *that the Fresh an a people who will not increase in numbers without ea increase of wealth. And this resoles ems them infinite honour. Mew, of late yeah, unfortunately, there has been the inures= of wealth. There has been an infinity of Ilaaahans, a *hit esewthint of many oat of the pockets of all into the pocket ol the State. But of real trade, productive industry, there bas been little ; whilst of that frugality and eeesony which were always the great sourest of Fan* accumulation, there is infinitely km than SM. M.

The perchessr hes acquired it at a small pries, bat as real as he begins toplansoind polish it, lee disport(' that the wood is worth not only inlnitely more than he paid for it, bat more than he hoped or imagined. Here, says M. Pantinnow, is an Inman of national wealth. It so, law's ethane wee • mighty some of national wealth. And M. Dit Honor or M. Minns are monthly adding incalmilable riches to the natural ones of France. We an see no analogy between the rosewood which if rendered Ulm valuable by the labour which converts it into meg or sgresable articles, and the sum of money which is made to multiply itself (in appearance) by being made the exam for innume rable promises to pay." We differ altogether from M. P101:DROW ; and. tutead of thinking Pianos the richer for tiro kneypriess of ell things, we deem that she has been grading taz man then her capital in enterprise which, barren: inehl many of them may Essay be, have stall interfered with the employment d capital in industrial and in eommercial enterprise, and subjected her te liabilities which she may find it diScult to meet. The Vass, we think, need not go back so far as to throw upon the Revolution of 1789 any prima lack of enteeprist in France. The menontiosl and ial circumstances of the time are quits sufkient to aocount for this, without bor rowing • leaf from the Legitimist's book of horrors, end canting the blame of ill evil upon Revolution. The material posperity of a country and the de velopment of its yealth are seldom the vaults of continuous program They rather advance by bounds, or rise by steps. The Revelation of 1780 gave an impulse to the prospeeity el France by throwing the land open to her industry and her pope/ation. But ell that could be done by the industry of • potent population has been done. Another step is now wanting--another stride must now be nob I lathat is, the application of capital and skill w bad. It would require far more than the lab or ma article to describe the impediments Vida aliillllt or retard this in France. But these in the state or division of property in Frets = vent its inhabitants from doing what the have done, and of asides the soil a speculation N in M. Pam:roma% owe), • foundation for the out lay of capital aid for the employment of skill, instead of being a mare mei for men to live, like work Ora the roots orthe crop that Nature Nadi them. It was a fortunate circumstance for England that, when the time mama far seriously applying capital to the land, she was shot oat heaths continent, and from foreign speculation, and from a world of distraction, so as to be able to turn to ae.coont the high prima of provisions which rangedtluough so many years, and which gave en ample return for the cap ital and skill then lavished upon her soil. France has now had the advantage, if she bad known how to nes it, of several yeses of high priers; bat they have not produced the outlay of an additional million of francs to the land. On the contrary, loans and speculation have drawn forth the little money that used to collect in the rural district', and, of that money, what was not spent in the Crimea has been spent in the towns. The rural population of France has followed the rural capital as it migrated, just as sheep follow the shepherd. No other explanation is needed of the deplacement of population demon strated in the recent French censer. The Impala Government dose not mem alive to either the canes or the remedy of the evil. It en courages loans for making Reed= railroads. It approves and sets in execution project upon project for fructifying the barren soils of the Lander or St. Bologna. But when the best tracts of the country produce no more than they did in the last century— from the want of either still or capital applied to them—of what use is it to sink millions in inferior soils It is not the breadth of land that is wanting in France; it is the intelligent cultivation of that which has been for ages alternating between the tallow and the plough. But the small and peasant proprietor is in the way, it is urged. And this small proprietor is the result of the law partitioning property. Let the work be begun of applying skill and capital to land; and the large returns will soon make it the interest of the small proprietor to let or sell. He cannot long resist the overflow of capital upon the land. His existence is an excuse for indolence, not a real impediment to progress. If the French Government would give an ow I ward impulse to population, remove the limit and restriction to it, it most be, we repeat, by the appli cation of capital and skill to agriculture. And if the Earzion wants to found a noblesse, let him !rave some local authority and dignity in the pro vinces other than the Prefect and the officials who are subject to him. In order to have farmers, a country must have landlords—landlords who reside on their property and have a legitimate influence in their district. The country may be said to have no political existence in France ; it is inhabited exclu sively by functionaries and peasants. And all the independence of the latter, without intelligence, has not been able to preserve a political freedom. WE observe with much satisfaction that an at- ' tempt has already been made to enforce that whole some provision of the " Corrupt Practices Preven tion Act" which defines and punishes the offence of undue influence at elections. Our readers ere pro- bably aware of the general nature of the dame re ferred to. We need not encumber our columns by a literal transcript of its vast, bat perhaps not unne cessary, verbiage. The gist of the whole is, that it declares the practice of intimidation with a view to compel the giving or withholding of a vote to consti tute the offenos of " undue inffeenee," and provides that any peso committing each offence; shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and be also liable to forfeit the MI of 601. to any person who shell sue for the same, together with fell costs of suit." The Emperor of gam, we are told, used to boast that he had not ad off the heads of more than two et Ida courtiers for disagreeable behaviour at his outer table. The admiring ehrenickr who records this instance , of imperial clesseney adds, not without surprise, that even this paucity d executions was found to operate in some degree as an impediment ' to the had' of oonareatios. We are no advocates of Imam paniataws* no believers in the mere tome et prohibitive law; still, we me by no means sere that a Wawa el minima intonations filed, ' and 001. patties rearmed, against parties convicted d the dirpeostal clines of slatted intimidation, might not is sew degree tend to restrain the open et the practice. is the of i fezzae. • rasslr spealdag, ot people It eminently l e ," I of presiesly that ekes who don't object to do shabby things, bat have a great otesotion to be detected in L doing them ; who love to owe* bat hate to be ex r pond ; and would forego even the hairy of orseming • 'pia= mad tyrannising over eoracksies, if sash TIIE - EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1857. privileges mos only to De probated at the Floe of sorrow publicity, mid Alcoa* sad popular --- New, off emcee, we don't mean in the present stage et the ems at "The Green e. BAuswett (Clerk)" to vi nay anticipation as to what the facts lay ultimately turn at to be. Only one side has yet bees bmrd, and it is possible that the incrimi nated party may explain away or negative the elle satires made against him. We go no farther than this, that the case is at any rats ens that, on the face of it, calls for prompt and searching Jaw:stip tiny sad that if the facts of the case are as repre sented in the ex parte statement of Mr. Swam, it is imperil& to conceive a state of things more im peratively sailing for all those powers of repression which the Legislature has recently conferred on the law marts. The allegations on which the snit sin was granted are in substance these: the party against whom the criminal information was moved is the Rev. E. L. Beau watt, the nuiter of the Endowed Grammar School at Bathos. ia county of Denbigh. The pasties applying flte rule are • father and son, of the IMO Whitman.. bakers in the same town. TY pale Ely !err fore Denbighshire boroughs was Axed tre *DIM at lest month. Mr. Townsman Mailiwatuno ssi Mr. Luna Mows were the esallatee. Both the Tiesumnas had votes, and both were eagerly convened by the supporters of the rival candidates. On the day of the poll, ties Rev. Mr. Basurweas several times ealkd en the Taaneana and premed him to vale far tango. The answer was, that he (Tan anan s) had several persona to please beside lb. amaewszt—(that is about as ides Ado of the British shopkeeper sass be nu pods' to rise under a system el open voting)— mil teat he should either vote for Mout , ett dal moder. Mr. BAz.urma. then throelmed 'ltman that if he did not vote for MAntermturo, "he would he churchwarden own year, and would rake the *hardy breed from Ann." This re ferred to a charity in the town, for which Timm= was baker, end out of the funds of which 20 loaves weekly were given away by the church- Wardens. The reverend canvmmer is further repre stands, having threatened this free and independent bakes, that in case of refired, "he would look black at him" and take away his own custom. Not moo wading to his wish with the husband, he tried the TS. "Ha eolled a mood time and told Tatiszates wile if her husband did not vote us he wished he should toke no more bread for the church." Ile is also stabil to have called a third time and node similar theists. It was all labour in vain. The Tummunuboth father and sca,resorded their votes kr Mr. Mom= Thersupenoa they swore, Mr. Smarm= imuoMetely poseedod to carry into keel ass partite of hb threat. From the 10th el lest Merck this zealous sad outraged dogmas hes wholly withdrawn his ennom from them coats neasionaly independent bakers. Now, as we said before, it is possible that these allegations may be negatived : we confess we hardly see how they can be explained. If not materially modified, it seems impossible to conceive a clearer or a greenroom of the very kind contemplated by the " Corrupt Practices Prevention Aet." It is greatly to be wished that in all similar indexers mesas could be found of bringing the easier' within the reach of the law. We tryst it in ennecesiery to express a hope that whenever a ems of the kind is brought home to the incriminated party, the Courts will exert without stint or scruple the fall power with which the law invests them. As it is, the penalty provided is scarcely adequate to meet the gravity of the offence. The convicted party is to be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour I thus leaving to the Court the option of imposing a fine or a sentence of imprisonment, at its plasma. The option thus left is objectionable. The manna should be one of imprisonment in every use. Ofhnene of this clam are beet punished by inflictions that carry with them something of degradation, but if the option is left to the Court, it is a difficult matter to secure the apportionment of the severer alternative. The injury to the community is too apt to be for gotten, when the convicted party, an eminently respectable member of society, is brought bodily before the Court for sentence, having secured on his behalf the ablest rhetoric of extenuation that the bar of this eountry can supply. After all, there is one, and but one, effectual protective against the abominable immorality of intimidation, and that is secret voting, and the enlargement, if not equalisa tion, of the constituencies. Meanwhile, let the re pewees of prohibitive and penal law be fully and fairly tried. Tax storm bus suddenly swept over Pullen, and the place thereof knoweth it no more. In as night its loftiest and fairest spreading boogie have been rudely snapped, and now lie wither ing in the dust of dissolution. Piueu, PIM- Lugo's, 11000, and LATE/ are gone; not even the willow-like pliancy of Cannuml. could save him ; and the very remembrance that Mr. FREDERICK PEEL had once been his father's son was too much for the Whip at Bury. Nor can these heavy blows and great discouragements be said to have been the worst. With the exception of Mr. GLADSTONE, none of the Peelites seem to have stood with uncompromising mien and attitude at the hustings. Bo great was the pressure felt to be, that the toughest and haughtiest were forced to yield. Sir JAKES GRAHAM indulged, u is hie wont, in a host of bitter things at Carlisle, directed against the Ministry ; but he thought it necessary " to hedge," as betting men would phraae it, by a vehement repudiation of the Puseyite ten dencies and tenets of his right hon. confidant, the member for the University of Oxford. In Notting. hamahire, the Duke of Nrwcaerta advised his brother to coalesce, not only in votes but in pledges and profusion' of principle, with Mr. EVILTP Denison : and the new and the old Whig are es cordingly returned without any trouble. Still more significant is the rumour current with regard to North Wilts. Hitherto it was supposed that Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT RSA there impregnable by RAM at hie numerous connexions, personal friendships, and large territorial possessions. Few could pretend to vie with him in wealth or electioneering apti tudes of any ether deseriptien ; he was on all hands admitted to be personally popular, and, as compared with any competitor that was likely to enter the field, a political celebrity of the first Nevertheises, it is freely stated, and very illy beim& that without Lord Arun I smors giro Mr. 1 / 1 1DERT would not have been elastics; and that the noble marquis caus• ed it to be known very distinctly beforehand that his goodwill was not to be won by any one who did apt give sande:tory assurances of an intention sustain in future the Liberal party. It is not for is to say how cheerfully or how cautiously the right hon. gentleman gave the pledge adverted to. Par from alluding to the incident in any spirit of levity or lament, we hail it as a good omen, and re ifies to find that so many valuable waifs and alp have drifted after the tempest to the Id* ism It was only while men of Mr. Rileinellte 'and Sir J. GRAHAM'S stamp per sisted in attempting to occupy a false position as leaders d a practically impossible tiers perti, that we persisted in laughing at them, and tried to laugh them into something better. If any of the survivors from the lamentable wreck have made up their minds that they have had enough of it, have found that it's no us frying to cruise with heavy ships in shallow waters, and are ready to be finally enrolled in the Liberal party for good and aye—we shall heartily welcome them. Bat there =Abe no more talk of Coalitions. The very notion of the thing would be an absurdity. There are no longer any distinguishable elements for the fabrication of a compact of the kind. Lord DEIBT may, if he pleases, offer a seat in his next paulo•post-future cabinet to Mr. GLADEITONZ t but a contingent Mr. Ouneroxi has no longer to bring with him to the ranks of the Tories. As an adhe rent he may be regarded as posserni . tg a certain value t bat be can no longer be treated of, or treated with, as en independent ally. - - - We can imagine the quiet sense of satisfaction wherewith Mr. 0111811.1 and his immediate friends regard the final extinguishment of the section that , so frequently proved itself just strong enough to balk their ambitious aspirations, though not anti- gillatly powerful to attain the realisation of its own. Pinsomal rivalry there may still be between men of 111. debating ability and great versatility of re imam But the end of the memorable schism of 1•111 be the Conservative party leaves the author and of that signal revolt undisputed master :r dr laid. Not only is Pen and Pesti= dead, but Pselites, as a parliamentary denomination, have absolutely ceased to be. There is good taste and good policy in the suppression of each emotions as those re lated to in the avowed organs of the Derbylte leaders. Yet we think we bear now and then a smothered laugh when the visions gains and losses of the recent fray ars enumerated. The chiefs of opposition can almost afford the diminution of their own actual fol lowers for sake of the relative augmentation of their importanoo by the annihilation of that middle party which so long held the balance in its hands. If in the development of opinion in the new House of Commons Ministers should fail to keep at the head of the Liberal majority, we may see, indeed, a third party once more assuming definite shape and consist ency ; but in that case it will proceed on very different principles, and with very different aims, from that which has lately vanished from the scene. Instead of serving, or being meant to serve, as a cheek or drag upon the onward tendency of the Whigs, " the gentlemen below the gangway" will in all probability play somewhat of the part their predecessors in that quarter of the house did in the latter years of the 0/LEY administration, when they contributed poten tially to stimulate the laggard spirit of the Oovern meat, and strengthened their hands when threat ened by the reactionary opposition of the day. On the other band, the tendency will in all probability be now, as it was then, to consolidate the Tory party, and to revive its internal discipline. We cannot say that we contemplate this result with regret. We have ever contended that a well organised Opposition is essential to the well-working of any administration, no matter how composed; and we have little doubt that much of what we have during the last few years had to complain of in the conduct of parliamentary busbies; may fairly be attributed to the want of such constitutional pressure.

And the hear indul gence in every sort of enjoyment is conctureat with a adrenal augmented cost of living. A French authority, who has written on the subject of the high houarette of Pere, attribute that enhancement not to the demolition of old buildings, but to the new habits at exams which have sprung up within the list few years. And if this be the hot in Paris, it will she account for the advance of peter throughout the provisoes. The subdivision of proper% whatever may be Its maita in other respects, lade ha aid to the general ;royalty to extravagance.

None ream by industry the footing lot by extrovoganco. Fseiflies do not generally run the road to ruin ono fut. They follow the fashion of expense by living fully up to their in , coma end the husband indeovours to extend the neon of enjoyment by a little gambling, under the mm. maid name of speculation. One Frames only ' Is obervable, end that is in avoiding the charges incidental to • number of children. The so common In England, " where Heaven ends mouths it sends meet," is unknown In France, and the number of mouths to be fad is adjusted acidly to the meat of feeding them. A husband and wife ha;it one or two ebtl- Len, or none at all, es the now observes, according to their ideas of what they can afford. Of mune, then, in fro ' pram to the enlarged expenditure for objects of luxury and show is the circumscribed space for the nursery. Ilia stables cut into it, the coach-house cuts into it, above ail Madame's toilette. Where you would am with English habits half-a-doun healthy boys and gide walking with their parents, you sue instead, in the Bois de Boologne,• this lady in a headman open carriage. The horsed, the coechman, the footmen, are in lieu of the children. Everything cannot be abided. A choice meat be made, and we lee what it is. The Famed lime of the French couple ere their own favourite pleasures, dress, equipage, good living, gamblers Children would narrow the means for the m enjoyments, or leave for them no means whatever; therefore children me net born to curtail their parents' pleasures. And the want of them is not felt where all is given to the gratification of vanity end the seises. The draw ing-room, the dining-room the promenade, and the theatre fill every moment end satiety every wish; or it is only when these things stale and pall that a desire Arian for the new plaything of a boy or e girl. Of course there are exceptions to these habits, and hers end there will be found families with domestic enjoyments, but the number of them has been much diminished by the order or disorder of extravagance so countenanced and encouraged by the pre sent dynasty. The evil ia not confined to the wealthy classes, it demands through all clams with the modi fication of circumstances. The shopkeeper and his wife, . . the artisan and hie wife, are all for the vanities and enjoy- ments within their reach, se much as the millionnaire and his wife. The occupation for the thoughts which politics once provided being gone, the general pursuit now in plea sure, and the means of obtaining it by hook or by crook, generally on the miry field of the bourse. In such a state of things there must be a tendency to every sort of degeneracy, moral and physical, and we may expect to see the French nation, under the sway of its present intensely selfish vices, dwindling more than under the guillotine of the Terrorists, or the desolating wan of the First Napoleon. Her declinieg population is the reproachful record agaiest her. RESTORATION OP WAKEFIELD PARISH CHURCH.— On Thursday, at noon, a very influential and num reedrateended meeting wan held in the Wakefield Mule Seim, prided over by the Bishop of Ripon.

The hustings wore oonatantly beset with their car riages, either employed in bringing up voters or enconregiag adherents by their presence. The obstinate and opposite canvassing fairly bewildered the Westminster tradesmen, and many, to ease their lives, loft town for the countey. One lady had • troop of minims in her in making up cockades for Lord Hood, ° di e ft=ting them to the spectators.
