How Business is Conduct:d in the Hall of the Deputies—Where the Public sit—Defeat of the Ministry. Panie, July 22, —[Special Correspondence of Tur Br The chamber of deputies has adjourned, But the heated debates of the ast fow days gavo this year's session a ter arm of mination memorable at least for its ¢ excitement Of course the houses had to sit through the fete ot the 14th in order to afford the members an opportunity to remain in Paris during the festivit Before that great celebration almost every- thing was in readiness for the closing order \© the emphatic votes against the ministry just before adjournment were the cause of much surprise to tue French people. A Session of the Chambe By a stroke of good fortune I was enabled to attend the chamber on Suturd last day of its session—a day which gave op- portunity for a lively debate und wituessing an important vote, The hall of the deputies 1s situated in what ected was the old Bourbon palace, originally by Cardinal Mazarin, The building is structed of gray saundstone in the Greel style of architecture. As parlinment house in London overlooks tho Thames, so the Palais Bourbon stands with its front ou tho border of the Seine, orarchitectural effect, the location of the French building, on a rising piece of ground leading to which a beautiful bridge spaus the river from the Placs de la Concorde, surpis- scs that of Westwinster, with its low-lying terraces, As a building the former cannot compare with the latter or with the capitol at Wash- fngton in point of size, construction or orua- wentation. & e Palais Bourbon is compuratively uall; it affords room for the deputies on! and the upper housc of the French logisla- ture is forced to meet 1 another building. The exterior is tasteful, not elaborate, A series of columns with Corinthian capitals supports the classic pediment ornamented with allegorical statuar, A Glimpse of ¢ The public entrance opens on a waiting com separated from tho wain building by e Interior, th s driveway. “'ho waitiug room is very plain; at one end stunds a table provided with blanks for ap- plications to sce members, and at the back is adoor through which the curds disappenr aud the replies are returnod. The uniformed messengers uro exceedingly polite aud conduct tho visitor, after he has sceured his ticket of admission, signed hy a deputy, to the corridor of the gallory. The most democratic of republics has not ot gotteu down to the level that admits the goneral public to the sessions of its le ture, but still it is much more easy iu France w0 procure such admission than in Great Brituin, Oncein the corridor, the visitor is relieve | of hatand umbrella or stick by liveried at- tendants who kindly condescend to take tips whenever offered. The Hall of the Deputics Is semiciveular in form and presents a view similur to that of ap auditorium of a theater. Iu general outline 1t vesembles very much _the old house of represeatatives at Wash Ington, now turned into a statuary hall and rbups at present most celebrated for its whispering galleries. 3 The flat wall formiug the diamoter of tho somicirelo is relieved by columns of the lonic order dividing it into punels ornamented by two hundsome clocks and coyered with beau- tiful tapestry. The high platform of the pre- siding ofticer 15 reached on one side by a tairway of not less than ten stops. o the right aud left of his desk and also behind it, are places for clerks, tellers and other ofti- sers; immediatoly iu front is the tribune, a pulpit-hike desk soms eight feet long aud but slightly lower thun the president's tabie. ITu frout uud below the tribune sit the official reporters, All this furnituro is made of finely carved marble with allegorical figures in bas-relief. ‘The seats of the members riso about the platform in semi-circular tiers ono above the other. The benches are comfortubly uphol- stered w red cloth, they are stationary, thus enabling the desks of the members bobind to bo attachied to the buack of the seat. The desks, however. are iusignificant affairs, not wore thau eight inches wido, scarcoly afford- g support for a book, much less room for convenient lotter writing. A row of Ionic columns shuts in the last tier of members’ seats and behind this are tho spectators’ galleries arranged, one above the other like balconies in u theat Thero are two galleries und theso are divided into compartments similar to theatri- cul loges and fitted with four rows of cush- foued benches, Where the Public Sit. In the assignment of seats to tho public a marked coutrast botweon French and Eug- — Jish manners is noticeable.
