THERUMDUTIES. '1 R The Rum Duties Bill was read a third time: SUPPLY—ORDNANCE ESTIMATES., The House went into Committee of Supply. The first vote proposed was, E316,254 for pay allowances ud contingencies of Ordnance militaiy corps,; the total vote w is £ 716,254, but £ 400,000 had already been granted on amount. U16,031 for commissariat and barracks and for the supply 0:' greatoats for the army, .,as proposed, Mr. Osborne objected to the supply of great-ucoats for the aruiv being mixed up with the ordnance estimates. Ait r a few words from Colonel Anson, the vote was to. "Gii £ 46,133 for the ordnance department in the Tower being & M;/B. Osborne said that the system on which the ordnance x" managed, was most extravagant. He moved that the vote be reduced by £ £ ,000. • The amendment was negatived without a division, and th,e Y-ite was agreed to. was voted for the barrack department and garrison .It dr.. £ 28,567 wages of artificers .in the united kingdom. £ 233,743 for ordnance stores, land and sea service. rf' H 1-5-3 for works, buildings, and repairs at home and abroad. The sum of £ 28,7S7, for the scientific branch of the ordnance, after some further conversation, was agreed to. On £ 82,441 being proposed for the non-effective service, Mr C. Berkeley said, that the sum included in this vote for fr)reigii half-pay seemed never to diminish. We .had been at, tteace for thirty-three years, and during that time not one of these pensioners seemed to have died (a laugh). n Th-vote was then agreed to, as was also a vote of £ 200,000, Viiv the remainder of £ 460,000 for the military allowances; and half-pay of the land forces. The chairman then reported progress, and obtained leave to again at twelve o'clock'to-morrow. Tha House adjourned at one o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY, ArcfST 1. The Speaker resumed the Chair at Five o'clock. Sir 13. Hall presented a petition from the parish of Saint P :racra6 against the increa»(xl police rate. THE NATIONAL LAND SCHEME. Nir. w ivter brought up the report of the committee appointed t.) 'inquil'ê into the state oJ Mr. tapi O'Connot-'s rational L On die motion of Mr. O'Connor, it was'read by the clerk at table The report, after stating that the--evidence taken fc--fore the committee would be laid upon the table,> proceeded state that the committee had come to the following resblu- fiona -—First That by this bill it proposes to make auditional T-Vuvisions t) the Friendly Societies Act, which is incorporated w-ihthe bill in question, and to alter and amend .the 9th and 10rh of Victoria for the amendment of the law relating to f-enlly societies, but the bill does not include the National I. «nd Com OMIT. Second, That the National Land Company is w ,.<■ consistent with the general principle upon vvhicn friendly sJ-AJtiea are landed. Third, That the National Lmd Com- pany, as at present constituted, is an illegal so ciety,- and,vill not fulfil the expectations' held out by the directors through the chairman. Fourth, That it appears to the committee, and by the evidence of several witnesses, that the whole system of proceeding in the National Land Company, as well as the accounts, have been most imperfectly kept; that the original balance-sheets signed by the auditors have been destroyed; and that only three of these balance-sheets, namely, for the quarters ending the 29th September, the 25th December, 1§47. and the 25th March, 1848, respectively, have been produced but Mr. O'Connor haying expressed his opinion that, an im- pression had gone abroad that the moneys subscribed by "the National Land Company had been applied to his, own benwfft, this committee are clearly of opinion that, although the accounts have not been kept with strict regularity, yet they are greatly against Mr. O'Connor, instead of being in lun favour for it appears by the evidence of Mr. Gray, that there, is due to Mr. O'Connor the sum of £ 3,298 5s. 3±d., and by3lr.; Tin- clell, the sum of £ 3,4U0. Fifth, That considering jthe-i great number of persons interested in the scheme and with which it appears to have been carried, it is the opinion of the committee that it ought to be left entirely to. the parties' con- cerned to propose to Parliament any new measure for carrying out the objects of the promoters of the company. Mr. O'Connor said, with regard to the financial statéírieIltpL the report, he begged to state that although the balance sheets were not produced, the book from which these balance-sheets were made were laid before the committee. The resolutions were exceedingly favourable to him, but he could not allow an impression to go abroad, that those workmen who had been managing this company under his direction were liable to any odiuin for the irregularities complained of. Having stated this much, and that the resolutions were unanimously come to, he had only to appeal to the chairman and the other members of the committee, to say whether every facility was not afforded to them to investigate the accounts and the affairs of the com- pany. Mr. Hayterbore his willing testimony, to the truth of the state- ment made by the hon. and learned gentleman. Every facii y was given to the committee to investigate the accounts, and the other matters relating to the accounts. Every officer that was called for was produced, and the accounts were regularly investi- gated by the accountant appointed by the committee, and the re- suit had been such as stated in the resolutions. 'I Sir B. Hall wished to say a few words with regard to the obser- vations which had fallen from the hon. and learned gentleman. He perfectly agreed with him that every facility was given to the members of the committee to investigate the affair's of the. com- pany but at the same time he could not conceal from hlmself the fact that the whole of the original accounts stated to have been audited by Mr. Cuffy and Mr. Knight, with the exception ot "the accounts ending for the quarters of September, December, 1847, and March, 1848, had been destroyed (hear, hear). He wished to ask the hon. gentleman what course he intended to take in order to effect the complete registration of the company and he also wished to know whether he proposed to make ovfer the es- tates vested in his name to those persons who, under the, rules and regulations of the society, were entitled to them. Mr. O'Connor thought the course that had been pursued by the hon. baronet was rather uncandid and unfair to him (O'Connor), for he had sought upon the bringing up of the report to cast im- putations upon his motives. With respect to the' question that had been put to him, the only answer he could give was that it was left by the report of the committee to the propounders and promoters of the society to say whether they would wind up the society, or apply to Parliament for power to carry it 0% With respect to the second question he had offered to theQrQinitteeto apply to the House to give him power to hand over the property to the parties who had agreed to purchase it. The report was then ordered to be received. CHURCH PROPERTY. Mr. Horsman, after all able and informing speech, proposed,— That an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be pleased to take into her consideration the whole condition of the Established Church, as regards its temporalities; that she will direct an inquiry to be made into the full value of all Church property under lease, and cause such measures to be pre- pared as may make the' revenues of the Church more fully con- ducive to the religious teaching of the people." Lord John Rus- sell had already given his assent to his suggestions on the episco- pal revenues, on the fusion of the episcopal and. common fund, and on the revenues of our deans and chapters therefore his lordship could have little reason for objecting to this motion. It, was the same inquiry which Lord John Russell had imperfectly carried out ten years ago, and which lie hoped that he would complete now. A!l parties were anxious for it. Sir F. Buxton seconded the motion. Lord J. Russell admitted that the property of the Church was of a value far greater than that derived from it either by the bishops or the parochial clergy but inquiry had been already made as to the best mode of improving it, and a committee was actually sitting at present on the subject of Church leases. lie should be reluctant to say whether this inquiry should or should not be instituted until he had seen the report of that committee. He was not inclined to increase all the poor livings to the same amount as Mr. Horsman proposed. Some of the small livings might be consolidated and united but there was a property in. livings, and difficulties would therefore arise in consolidating them. As to the motion, he did not think it advisable, inasmuch as a compulsory inquiry into the value of Church property would be highly objectionable. He would, however, consider the means by which the inquiry could be made, for he was decidedly of opin- ion that the property of the Church ought to be made more appli- cable to the purposes of the Church. Sir R. Inglis said that Mr. Horsman had gained a triumph without a battle. Afier short speeches from Mr. W, P. Wood and Mr. Gúulùum, the motion was withdrawn.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2. The House met shortly after 12 o'clock. A petition was presented from Liverpool, praying that the ex- tension of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus act be extended to that town. Sharman Crawford abandoned the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill. The Sale of Beer Bill, after a short discussion, was passed. The House then went into committee on the Windsor Castle Bill, and after passing some resolutions of no public importance, adjourned..

MEMOIR OF DR. HAMILTON. "THERE were giants on the earth in those days," is often the exclamation of men who muse on the past to the neglect of the present. In spite of our veneration for the past, we are often reminded that a great man has passed away from amongst us. The fir trees howl, for the cedars are fallen. The mighty is spoiled. In the death of Dr. Richard Winter Hamilton, the Congregational denoniinati ii, the friends of t, -0 free education and religious liberty, and the human race at large, have sustained a severe loss. In the prune of lite, in the pride of his power, and in the. beauty of his strength, he has been called home to the promised rest. At a time when he had become a chief among his brethren, and wheu his name was a tower of strength to the advocates of mental and spi- ritual freedom, his work is done. The followingparticulars of his history, compiled from an able sketch in the locals Mercury, will be interesting to our readel-s Dr. Hamilton had been suffering severely for some weeks from cellular erysipelas in the left arm; but the complaint, though obstinate and very reducing, had nearly yielded to sur- gical skill, and the apprehensions of his friends had almost sub- sided, when the hot weather of last 'week prostrated his little remaining strengthon Sunday the symptoms became very z!1 alatiytiii, -on Monday he wis-&-cl 'ying mtiil,-ancl at one o'clock on Tuesday morning, the 18th Inst., he expired. He had just completed his fifty-fourth year. I)r Hamilton was a native of London, where he was born on the 6th of July, 1794. His father was the Itev. Frederick Itamitm, Independent minister, of Brighton and. his mother Martha, the daughter of the Rev. Richard Winter, ft, p., who, for the long space of forty years, was pastor of the Independent church, New-court, Carey-street, London. Mr. Winter married on the 12th ofSeptembe1",17âl,:Srl1.h, youngest surviving daughter of the eminent Joseph Williams,, it'So,,eph liain. of Kidderminster, author of The Diary, Meditations, and Letters," sowell known, adS9 highly estimated. She was a lady of great piety. She had two daughters,, the youngest of whom, Martha, married the Rev. Frederick Haffiiltonf^ndwis' the mother of Dr, Hamilton. She, too,, was. a lady of-exalted piety, which, added to great sweetness of •demeanour, aild a' more than common share of personal attractions and. mental attainments, rendered her the admiration of an extensive cir- cle, containing many highly esteemed and religious characters. By tracing back still more remotely, it would seem that: piety and Nonconformity descended upon Dr. Hamilton like a rich entail, and united in him to form a champion whose loss to the cause of religion, and religious liberty, will be long felLandde- plared. The celebrated Thoihas Bradbury, who lived fyatn the i eign of William and Mary to thAt of George II., was his mo- ther's great uncle, Richard Winter Hamilton was educated partly at a school in the Isle of Wight, and partly at the Protestant Dissenters' grammar school, Mill-hill, near London, in the latter of which Sergeant Talfourd was his schoolfellow. It is remembered of his childhood that he was slow in learning to read,—a fact,, which, considering his natural quickness and power of memory, can only be ascribed to boyish volatility of spirits. He was admitted a member of his father's church on. the 21st November, 1809. His early piety and speaking talent caused him to devote himself to the ministry. His theological education was received at Hoxton College, then under the presidency of the Rev. Dr. Simpson; and here, nearly at the commencement of his academical course, he formed a close friendship with another young student of the highest character, John Ely-a friendship which endured through life with a warmth and constancy very seldom wit. nessed. The great abilities and prodigious memory of young Hamil- ton made his acquisition of knowledge extremely rapid; he had entered the college in August, 1810, when only sixteen years of age, and he left it before he had completed his twen- tieth year. He was invited to Leeds to supply the pulpit of Albion chapel, where he was so much admired that he received a call from the church and congregation of that place, dated on the 5th June, 1814,-a month before he was twenty years of age. He accepted the call, and was ordained the minister of the chapel on the 15th March, 1815. His eloquence, his high attainments, his generous warmth of disposition, and even his extreme youth, caused him to be popular at the very eorrlmencement of his ministry. But he was destined to sustain a speedy reverse, which was painful at the time, though salutary in its effect on his subsequent cha- racter, He had, in his ministerial capacity, attended with as- siduity and kindness Mr. Joseph Blackburn, an attorney of this town, who was executed at York for forgery in the spring of 1815 and he preached a sermon to an immense audience in Cloth-hall yard, to improve the melancholy event. Being pressed to publish the sermon, which had not previously been written, he wrote it out in the course of a visit to London, and sent off the manuscript piecemeal to the printer, without any opportunity for revision. For this imprudence the juvenile author paid dear. Unhappily it was disfigured by faults of taste in the composition, and especially by a learned phrase- ology and somewhat inflated style, which brought upon the autnor unmerciful criticism. Forthwith it became fashionable to cry down the young preacher as a pedantic and bombastic declaimer and the impression for a considerable time thinned his congregation. Mr. Hamilton married, on the 21st of May, 1816, Rachel, the daughter of Michael Thackrey, Esq., of this town, by whom he had two daughters and a son. The birth of the lat- ter was fatal to the mother. After a widowhood of sixteen years, he married, on the 6th December, 1836, Harriet, daugh- ter of John Robson, Esq., of Sutton Hall, who lives to mourn her irreparable loss, though with the consolation that she constituted a large part of the domestic happiness of her hus- band during the most useful and important period of his exist- ence. The laborious discharge of his duties as a minister, com- bined with the attractions of his eloquence, and of his charac- ter, filled Albion chapel inconveniently; and his people ac- cordingly erected another and far more spacious building. This structure, named Belgrave chapel, was handsome and ,Commodious; it was opened on the 6th of January, 1836 and in that place did the reverend gentleman carry on his instruc- tive and valuable ministry till the close of his life. The first work of any magnitude published by Mr. Hamil- ton, was a volume of Sermons" in 1833. It is a treasure of racred eloquence, containing some of the author's richest and most delightful compositions. The following year he pub- lished a small volume entitled Pastoral Appeals on Personal, Domestic, and Social Prayer," a work of remarkable excel- lence, unveiling the inmost heart of the pastor in its tenderest and most spiritual moods. Some years later he put forth a volume of domestic prayers, entitled The Little Sanctuary." In the year 1841 he published several of his papers read before the Philosophical Society, together with other papers. and poems, under the title of Nugoe Literarice: Prose and Verse." In 1842 appeared his work on "Missions: their authority, scope, and encouragement: an Essay to which the second prize, proposed by a recent association in Scotland, was ad- judged"—(the first prize having been won by that consummate essayist, the Rev. Dr. Harris, of Cheshunt College). This was a noble production, full of high and warm thoughts, profound reasoning, scripturaHllustration, and fervent appeal. Mr. Hamilton had now done quite enough to entitle him to those literary honours which our universities have it in their power to bestow. Accordingly the University of Glasgow con- 'ferred upon him the diploma of Doctor of Laws, on the 1st of February, 1844 and in the course of the same year the uni- versity of New York sent him thedegree of Doctor of Divinity. The next work published by Dr. Hamilton was his essay, en- titled The Institutions of Popular Education," to which a prize of one hundred guineas, given by If a patriotic Church- man of Manchester," was adjudged. In the year 1846 the Doctor published a second series" of "sermons," on some of the highest subj ects of Christian con- templation, and characterised by all his excellencies. The Revealed Doctrine of Rewards and Punishments," being the twelfth series, of 1-1 The Congregational lecture" for 1846, was published in the year 1847. It is the most elaborate and learned of all his works, and it has been received by the critics of different Evangelical denominations as an important and valuable addition to our theological literature. It is espe- cially direeted against the doctrine of the annihilation of the wicked at death, which some time since appeared to be gaining ground, In the beginning of the present year, Dr. Hamilton published a small but valuable treatise—" Horce et Vindicee Sabbaticce, or Familiar Disquisitions on the Revealed Sabbath." His last publication was the Introductory Memoir," pre- fixed to the Posthumous works of the late Rev. John Ely," of which he was the editor. It is inscribed by the hand of friendship, but under the watchful guidance of truth. Mr. Ely, on his death bed, cautioned his friend against being top partial," and being "misled by their long friendship;" and Dr. Hamilton replied by the assurance, Think you not that I should shudder to write aught but truth of you, when I thought of your truthful spirit looking down upon me, and ad- juring me by its holy severity;" The Memoir fulfils the pledge it is a strictly impartiarnarrative and portraiture. His last sermon to his own people in Belgrave chapel was, preached on the morning of the 7th of May, from the strikingly appropriate text, For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come," Heb. xiii. 14. In his sermon he gave a glowing description of the heavenly state and city, and con.- eluded by the exclamation of Bunyan, after describing the same happy, place, which, when I had seen, I wished myself among them In the afternoon of the same day he adminis- tered the Lord's Supper, which formed the solemn and de- lightful close to his services among his own people. On tjie following day he went to London to attend the meeting of the Congregational Union. It was on the Saturday of that week, the 18th. of May, that he perceived the small boil on his wrist, which was the commencement of his illness.. During his whole illness, amidst intense pain and oppressive langour, he had experienced the peace that pasrpth under- standing, and a heavenly enjoyment, arising from a sense of HiVine love," which he himself described ap amounting to "-transport." When informed by his medical men, after their consultation on Sunday night, that his end was near, he ex- claimed—" That is the best tidings you could have brought me,'11 He calmly summoned his family an.d friends, he set his house in order, he saw his deacons and many other, friends, and spoke to them all in the strain of a Christian hero, standing on the brink of eternity. He said tjhat he had taught his peo- ple i^ow to live, and it now became him to te^ich theni how ■die, A combined dignity and tenderness characterised his' manrer during the last day of his life. His" entire hope was in the imputed righteousness and atoning blood of the Saviour, At a minute past one o'clock, on Tuesday morning, the 17th of July, he entered into rest,
