LONDON, THURSDAY,APRIL 13.
Tae House of COMMONS met yesterday at 12
o'clock, when, after the routine business of the day
and some notices of motion had been disposed of, the
order for again going into committee on the Crown
and Government Security Bill was read, Mr. G.
THOMPSON opposing the motion on the ground that
the people a.; large were in ignorance of the nature of
the measure, which was one of the most objectionable
introduced in the present century. Mr. B. OSBORNE
strongly protested against the bill, quoting a speech
of Mr. Fox's (in reply to Mr. Purr), who said the
power and influence of the crown was so great, that all
the liberty that existed in this country was preserved
only by freedom of speech, and the liberty of the
press ; if either of these was given up, the only
barrier they had against the annihilation of liberty
would be completely destroyed. The hon. member
concluded by calling upon his constituents to rally
round those honourable men who were prepared to
fling from power those professedly liberal ministers
who had so disgracefully deserted their principles.—
Mr. AGLIONBY urged going into committee, in order
that the objectionable features of the bill might, if
possible, be removed. Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he had
never heard one single chartist raise his voice against
the Queen or her crown. It was the conduct
of the government itself, it was their apathy,
if not hostility, towards the welfare of the
working classes, which was calculated to
excite disaffection. Mr. P. HOWARD urged the
adoption of the amendment of Mr. HORSMAN, giving
the court power to mitigate the penalty of trans-
portation to three years. Mr. REYNOLDS contended
that by a clause in the bill a spy might be hired by a
wicked and andester to go to a meeting and
utter incendiaeasonable expressions, and the
