The Chamber of Deputies met on Saturday in its Stm(Iiag Com- mittees to examine the project of law rebut% e to the ferila,. f Paris, presented by 3larshal Saint a few days bilbre. The es:peel:21,1:Y of fortifying the capital was contested by only a few inc:::, -was only on the system to be adopted that any ; recommending a lice of detached forts, weeds., others 1102 .'- once to the plan of Napoleon, which tee:sit:Led in as is ,i:tterrnl,teil Iii e of ramparts. The Ministers, during this iliecussion, eibetaiel to remeia MI the defensive, and when called upon t.t make' kmeae opie.ion. returned evasive answers, and vehemently declared the tat.; in; eattons of the Government. 'rile Opposition sue-s:cited in apeotaimg hi e Commissioners out of the nine; and there was little doul'i tli, elan re- commended by M. Thiene—namely, a rampart mai a rued ee.ef :„1- vauced forls.--would be ultimately adopted. The 3,liaistr■ hay wg nuanced the ioteution of beginning by constructing eleven aad leaving the eircumvallation-wall to the last, it was thou ale iluit the ma- jority of the Committee would require that the stall should be completed before the works of the torts Were eveu continence.% The Chamber of Deputies, ou Monday, TIWNI:;ly, att.', Wednesday, were engaged with discussions on the Factory Bill, which is resumed from last session. The object of the bill now before the Chamber in to protect children against built limiters and parents, where there is an absence of proper feeling el Loth 1 ; and also to pr,,teet parents who love thspr offspring from being compelled by hard taskmasters to allow their children to work beyond their fair strength, as a teuuntiou of their icing themselves employed in factories. Another great object of the bill is to make education iu all the manufacturing districts indispensable as a means of employment. Children are not to be employed under a certain age ; nor can they be received at ell without certificates of their having received a certain degree of education ; and musters are to be compelled to set aside a certain period of the day in order that the children whom they employ may receive moral instruction, and an education fitted at least to their position in society.

The choice of M. Thiers to in- tllo Chairman of the Committee on

the demand of Ministers for 1-tooam.: fra.les for the first expenses of these works, which took place on Tueeley, seems likely to defeat the views of the Court ; come:lila:eat the erection of detached forts, "not as the best of defene tae 1;;;., sitioa, "nor as any defence

at all, but as a means of Leiping Jew:. Parieians."
