SITTING OF 'DEC. 29.

M. Sauzet took the chair at half-past one, when the
debate upou tho Bill for regulating the labour of children
in factories was resumed. _ _ _

M. de Vl'crate supported the principle of the 'measure,
at the same time ree1",,,,, OL--L
,he important object of ensuring a
proper remuneration for labour. The Hosourable De-
puty referred to the appalling contrasts between the
depths of misery and the refinements of luxury
witnessed in the manufacturing towns in England, and
arising from the inadequate wages paid to work-
men, who have in many
.instances to support large
families. He was glad to find that the present Bill pro-
vided for the education of children before their being ad-
mitted to manufactories and during their stay therein, and
he hoped that it would prove an effectual remedy for some
of the evils which had so long existed. The measure
might in course of time be rendered more efficacious by
the introduction of other ameliorations.

M. Taillandier objected to the project of law, which he
considered not only imperfect, but in mauy parts in e'intra-
diction with the law of the land; it was also too exclusive
in its application, as it ought to have referred to children's
labour wherever employed.
M. Villemain, Minister of Public Instruction, spoke in
defence of the project of law, which he said had been drawn
up with the view of guarding the various interests therein
concerned. With respect to the objection of its being of
too exclusive a nature, the fact was that the Bill was in-
