THE HAVELOCK MEMORIAL MEETING THIS DAY. public meeting, to found the proposed Havelock memorial, was held this afternoon in Drury-lane Theatre, which had been gratuitously placed at the service of the committee by the enterprising lessee, X. T. Smith, Esq. Amongst those present we observed the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lori John Russell, Earl of Cardigan, Sir W. F. Wi!Home, Bart., of Kars, Marquis of Westmeath, Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, M.P., and a great many ether noblemen and gentlemen. The chair was taken at two o'clock by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in -Chief. The noble CIAIIIMIN, in opening the business, said it became his duty shortly to explain to the great assembly he then saw before him the object of the meeting. It was to award a mark of respect to the memory of one who had deserved well of his country. (Loud cheers.) He regretted, as it was one of his duties to give a short history of the services of the general, that he was not in the position of several of the illustrious personages by whom he was sur rounded, and who had had the honour of enjoying the friendship of so brave and honourable a gentlemen. (Hear, hear.) The late Sir H. Havelock entered the army 43 years ago, in the 93d Regiment, and from that time up to the unfortunate circumstance that led to his death, he bad distinguished himself in no ordinary manner. (Loud cheers.) In many wars in India he was foremost in the fight—(hear, hear)—and by his daring achievements in Afghanistan he had set an example worthy of imitation by every young officer in her Majesty's service. (Cheers.) The recent mutiny in India had in the first instance been greatly checked by the illustrious Havelock, and he felt certain that it would be ultimately put down by the exertions of his gallant friend Sir Colin Campbell. (Immense cheering.) lie considered the first dawn of returning prosperity dated from the success of Sir H. Havelock—(hear, hear) —and it was on that account chiefly that Englishmen felt bound to do him honour. (Cheers.) He it was who at the moment of the greatest anxiety, uncertainty, doubt, difficulty, and danger, was selected by the Indian Government to lead that column of troops who at first made a most successful advance on Cawnpore, was then momentarily checked at Lucknow, but ultimately by perseverance, courage, and fortitude, led by the Ales kiwis deceased, succeeded in relieving that distinguished garrison —(cheers)—and joined with it in its defence up to the moment of its ultimate relief. (Cheers.) The merit of those operations were entirely due to the ill's trious general to whose memory they were met to do honour ; and if there was a man that deserved well of his country, and should be honoured by the people of England, that man was Sir H. Havelock—(sheers) — who had to a great extent, though not exclusively, turned the tide of our Indian misfortunes in our favour. (Hear, hear.) On that occasion he thought it right, however, to state that the greatest cor diality, and more than that, the greatest for bearance, was shown by another illustrious officer, Sir James Outran—(cheers)—to Sir Henry Have lock, who, instead of standing on his rights of position, might have superseded that gallant general in command if he had wished to lead in the second at tack on Lucknow, but instead of claiming that right Sir J. Outran], feeling that proper military spirit—that honourable bearing which he (the Duke of Cambridge) thanked God existed between military men, and whisk he hoped would long continue—(cheers)—waived his claim in favour of his distinguished friend, Sir H. Have lock ; and as he had gained the first glory connected with the attack, so he wished him to carry eat his plan and reap the full reward. (Hear, hear.) It was a state ment he felt more gratified in making from Sir. J. Out ram not being an officer belonging to the East India Company, as showing the advantage of that cordiality which it was essential for the interests of all it was desirable should exist between the officers of the differ ent services. (Cheers.) He now came to the most painful part of the duties that devolved on him as chair man of that meeting. (Hear, hear.) A.fter all these successes he came to that sad and painful moment when, in the hour of victory, and when that gallant officer, after 17 days of perpetual and constant embarrassment, when every officer as well as man in the garrison had to shoulder his musket and stand to his post day after day, watching with intense anxiety that relief all so eagerly wished fur, relieved the garrison of Lucknow—and when he had succeeded in bringing away from Lucknow every man, woman, and child that had been so long shut up, and saved the honour and reputation of England, besides saving the lives cf the English women and children so long shut op there—in that very hour of victory, and when his services were being fully appreciated by his countrymen, then death with his withering hand came on and put an end to that existence-- there was no doubt, if it had been permitted to continue, would have proved itself further wor thy of the bonen:, respect, and esteem of his countrymen. (Hear and cheers.) He believed that two days after the relief of Lucknow Sir H. Havelock died of disease, and what was it ander the circumstances the people of England should do It was not a question of Government favour or protection, but for the nation to decide what they should do to honour that illustrious man who up to the hour of death proved himself worthy of the country from whence he sprung and the country which he served. (Loud cheers.) Under these circum stances he (the Duke of Cambridge) could not hesitate to take the chair on so interesting and important an oc• casion, and he was gratified to find he was supported not only by so many noble and gallant friends as he saw immediately around him, but by so liberal and gracious a public as he saw before him. (Cheers.) He felt satisfied they would cordially support the resolutions that would be submitted to them, and help those who had ori ginated the movement in erecting such a monument to the memory of Sir Henry Havelock as would be worthy of the country that presented it, and would be worthy of the man whom it was their wish to honour. (Cheers.) Her Majesty's late Government, with that liberality of feeling and high spirit of honour which they possessed, had presented to the gentlemen who originated the movement a proper site for the erection of a monu ment in Trafalgar-square. (Cheers.) Should anything be left from the bounty and liberality of a generous country after providing the proposed monument, it would be a matter for those gentlemen and noblemen who had taken the matter up to consider on a future occasion. His Royal Highness then called upon the Marquis of Lansdowne to move the first resolution. The Marquis of LAISBDOWNE, in a very eloquent speech, moved the first resolution, in doing which he said the gallant deeds of the illustrious Havelock had in a great degree checked the mutinous outbreak, and he, by his gallantry, had shown that England, with an army numerically small, compared with the extent of territory they had to occupy, was strong enough to hold in check and ultimately crush one of the greatest muti nies that ever broke out in India. The great general whose memory they were assembled to honour had left a name that his country might well be proud of. (Immense cheering.) General Sir D. M`DOUGAL seconded the resolution. The gallant general said it was the opinion of all old soldiers that the name of Havelock ought to be enrolled amongst the peers of England. (Immense cheering.) His ROYAL HIGHNESS then put the following roiolu tieu to the meeting, which was carried in the most enthusiastic manner, namely That the eminent services rendered by the late General Sir ca Fleury Havelock have lied for a suitable testimonial from a . atefui country. „ HighnessEarlof Royal The A t r ae DlT : N said, after the speech of his t to follow it would be presumptu ous in him t o at t empt in the same strain. The name of Havelo c k in Indi a wou ld in future call to recol loction some of the mightiest deeds every performed, and the honour that was now about to be conferred on his memory was more than justly due. He therefore begg ed to move the second resoluti on , w hi ch was as follows : "That independent of the material testimony borne by Parliament to the late General, it i s d es i ra b le that the British people should have an adequate opportunity of showing their gratitude for his disti ngu i s h ed services. " The resolution, which was seconded by Admiral Hargood, was carried unanimously. Sir W. pleasure 'n Goismu said he f e lt an inexpressible leasure 'n moving the thi r d reso l ut i on, for n• one coul d enter ta‘ tau ii.igh_er4 opinion o f th e m ili tary skill of the late follows ; velock than he did. The resolution was as "That her Itaiest press sanction or he??:1.

Tt l l 4 : e g " t" Bullock, at whose very nause the heart throbbed, ' bad t performed in India services without parallel in te an nals of Eogland. (Cheers.) Mather they looked at the military or civil services of the.late Sir H l . Havelock, b The oth were worthy the a d m i ra tion or a gratefu country : despatches he wrote p roved how great were his literary a tt a i nm ents, and in one nen ten ce in thedocurn en t, descri beb ing the career of his son at the engagement for which - recommended him for the Victoria Cross, Sir Henry said :through all the dangers of that siege —" On went Lieut. laveloalc:." (Cheers.) That sentence will set forth the career of Sir Henry. (Cheers.) On he went thro u g h dan g ers aid difficulties of no ordinary kind. It afforded hin THE SUN, LONDON FRIDAY EVENING, MAR:CH 19 18-58, the greatest delight in being called upon to second the resolution. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Lord J. RUSSELL moved tho fourth resolution, viz.:— "That the objects of the committee of the Havelock Memorial Fund, of which his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge is the president, be approved, as recorded in the committee's resolutions of the 20th and 29th January last." The noble lord said the eloquent speeches they had already heard rendered it quite unnecessary for him to detain the meeting with any lengthened observation. He felt certain that mainly owing to the firmness and resolution of Sir Henry Havelock, India had been saved to England. (Cheers.) In addition to his invincible bravery, Havelock possessed all the inestimable qualities of a Christian soldier — (cheers)—and England had much to be proud of in the extraordinary achievements he had worked out in India. If the country only estimated his deeds as they deserved, they might rest perfectly assured that the bright example of Havelock would be nobly followed, and thus it would be proved that the highest qualities of human nature might be found in the profession to which the gallant gentleman belonged. Sir W. F. WILLIAMS, Bart., of Kars, seeonded the resolution. After all the eloquence they had heard that afternoon he felt there was nothing left for him to say, for what could he say that would add in any way to the admiration in which the memory of the gallant gene ral was held by all whom he now had the honour to address. He had mixed amongst large numbers of soldiers, and in every place he had heard but one opinion of the merits of the late Sir H. Havelock. All concurred, without the slightest exception. in awarding to him the highest honour. (Cheers.) When he recollected how gallantly Lncknow had been relieved, he would say, in conclusion—may all so circumstanced have a Havelock to relieve them. (Immense cheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously. The Rev. W. BROCK, in an eloquent speech, moved the fifth resolution, viz. : " That the committee of the Havelock Memorial Fund be requested to coatinue their exertions to carry out that object to the fullest extent that the subscriptions con fided to them will admit, and with the least possible delay, consistently with the receipt of funds from parties in India, and other distant possessions of her Majesty." Sir W. HuL3E felt great pleasure in seconding the re solution, which was put to the meeting and carried. Sir J. GRANT moved the sixth resolution, viz.:— " That it is most desirable that the extent of subscrip- tions should be each as to enable the committee, after the fullest consideration, to appropriate any surplus fund, after the erection of a statue, to such further object as shall seem most completely to satisfy the public view, and to harmonise with the sentiments of the late General." _ . - Mr. W. ROMILL, M.P., seconded the motion, which was carried amidst loud cheers. Lord Join RIISSILL moved a vote of thanks to hie Royal Highness for his conduct in the chair. The resolution was carried in the most enthusiastic manner. His ROYAL HIGH:TESS, in acknowledging the vote, paid a high compliment to Mr. Smith, the lessee, for the handsome manner in which he had gratuitously placed the theatre at the services of the committee. the meeting then bi oke up. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord FAVERSHAM presented a petition from a place in Yorkshire against the admission of the Jews into Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Brad ford praying that an inquiry might be instituted into the proceedings by which a change in the mode in the government of India might be made. The noble lord also presented a petition from Conway, in North Wales, praying for extension of county courts. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Earl GiAiVILI.E begged to inquire of the noble lord opposite whether he would on Monday state the order in which he intended to proceed with public buil nese, and also whether he would state when it was in tended to adjourn for the Easter recess ? The Earl of DERBY said he would state the coarse he intended to pursue on Monday next. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SPECIAL SERVICES BILL. __. . On the motion ._ of the Archbishop of CINTEBBI7IIY, ;he report on this bill was received. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE rose to put a question to the noble earl with respect to the course the Government intended to pursue with regard to educa tion in Ireland. The noble viscount said that, from certain circumstances that had occurred, he was led to believe that it was the intention of Government to inter fere in the system of national education now pursued in Ireland. He hoped such was not the case, as the system as at present carried out had been conducive of the most beneficial results. He should, therefore, like to know whether the Government intended to alter the system, and if so, to what extent. The arl of DERBY said that whatever difference of opinion prevailed, with respect to the merits or demerits of the present system of education, which had now been eitablielaed for nearly a quarter of a century, the most eager of its opponents must admit that it bad greatly improved the character of the educa tion in that country. He regretted that, as a system of united education, it had failed, inasmuch as it had been unaccompanied by any facilities by which the children could obtain religious instruction. Nevertheless, this he could state, that the Government had come to no decision on thesubject. Tney would do nothing to imperil the present system, and he could assure the noble marquis and the house that nothing would be done witboet the previous assent and concurrence of Parliament. (Elear, hear.) TRUSTEES' RELIEF BILL. The report upon this bill, with amendments, was brought up and agreed to. INDIA LOIN BILL. Lord ELLENBOII.OI3GII moved the third reading of ,his bill.

ASSIMILATION OF OUR COLONIAL LAWS. Mr_ HORSFALL asked the Secretary for the Colo nies whether, seeing the great inconvenience which arose from the existence of Dutch, Spanish, and French laws in various of our colonial possessions, the time had not arrived when the attempt might be made to assimilate the laws of our colonies to those of the mother country? Lord STANLEY said no doubt there did exist great diversity and a great variety in the laws that prevailed in different parts of the British empire which caused con siderable practical inconvenience ; but at the same time he feared he could hold out no hope that an attempt would be made by Imperial authority to modify the different institutions in the colonies, and eetabLah a uni form system of law throughout the British empire. Such a course, he thought, would create dissatisfaction in the colonies. (Hear, hear.) FAIRS AND MARKETS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. MACARTNEY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, in the event of the Fairs and Markets (Ireland) Bill, and the Grand Jury (Ireland) Bill, now on the table of the house, being withdrawn, he would be prepared to introduce a bill or bills upon the same sub jects after the Easter recess ? Lord NAAS said he could not give an answer to th e question of the hon. member till after Easter. He should then be able to state the course that would be taken in reference to these subjects. THE CAPTURE OF DELHI. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary for War whether it was in contemplation to issue medals to commemorate the capture of Delhi to all those engaged in that memorable siege! General PEEL said it was in clutemplation to issue such medals. He should be able to give a more satis iastory answer in the course of next week, it the hon. gentleman would repeat the question. EASTER HOLIDAYS. In answer to a question from Col. VIVIAN, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should be able on Monday to state the day her Majesty's Government proposed to adjourn the house for the Easter recess. EAST INDIA.(ARMY REGULATION). On the motion of adjournment tilt Monday, Mr. FAGAN called the attention of ►he Secretary of the Board of Control to the army regulation made by the Governor General in India in Council in 1355, which requires that the children of soldiers over four years of age should be sent to the regimental schools, in order to entitle such soldiers to draw for each child subsistence money of five sbillings per month, and to ask whether, during the last year, any modification or alteration of that regulation had been made so as to allow the Ro man Catholic soldiers now serving in India, who con scientiously object to send their children to these regi mental schools, to have them educated in schools of their own faith without the forfeiture of their subsistence money ; and to ask further, if no such modification has been made, whether it was the intention of Her Majesty's present Government to afford that just relief to the con sciences of Roman Catholic soldiers now serving their country in India. Mr. H. BAILLIE said that so far as he could learn no alterations had been made in the Indian regulation referred to, which was identical to that of the English army. (Hear, hear.) He thought the regulation re ferred to answered the purposes the hon. member had in view. Mr. MAGUIRE said the regulation did not g ive freedom of a'tion to the private soldier. He was under the power of his superiors, for with them rested his promotion, and he need not state how grievous a posi tion he was placed in with a praselytising colonel or major. The subject dropped. COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY. Mr. BAGWELL brought before the hone the sub. ect of certain parties professing to obtain Commissions in the Army without purchase or examination, by raising certafn number of Peen for her Mejesty'e service, the particulars of which will be found in another column. A stop ought to be put to these transactions by prevent ing parties to get commissions below the regulation charges, and without examination. Should the Govern ment not give a satisfactory answer he would at the proper time move for the appointment of a select com mittee to inquire into the subject of toe appointment to commissions without examination. Colonel KNOX said a more scandalous system could not exist than that now adopted of granting commissions without purchase. The system was I,.troduced. long before the present Government came into office, but by whom he did not know. It was a system ruinous to the service, and he confirmed what had been said by the hon. member relative to the improper interference of agents. General CODRINGTON sad he thought it would have been better if the hon. member bef ire he brought the matter before the house had inquired if the agents acted with the authority of the Government. General PEEL said he held in his hands the circular on which these commissions were granted. Is would be recollected that in August last every regiment in England was sent to India, which caused a great pressure in raising recruits ; and in con sequence of that the Commander-in-Chief, with the sanction of the Secretary for War, issue?. a circular, dated Ist September, which was one of necessity, and which was published in all the newspapers, relative to the raising a certain number of men for a commission. He admitted the principle of granting commissions with out examination was bad ; but it was necessary at the time referred to to get men, and the effect of it was shown by a reference to the number of men raised. In 18;5 only 33,000 men were recruited in the course of the year ; but in the six months since the issue of the circular 36,000 men bad been raised. A great many bad applied, axed had re ceived commissions. Their names were entered on a list as they applied, and no one had obtained a commis • eiou through an agent. The condition was to raise so many men and there it was he thought the agency com menced. It was impossible the young gentlemen who applied for the commissions would be able to find the men, and then it was that the agent, after the commis sion was obtained, went to the country and raised the men by probably paying a higher bounty than that given by the Government. He had no objec tien to en inquiry into the subjw, but he was to say the system was at an end, the pressure of men not being now so great as they were when tha circular was issued. After some remarks from Lord Bony and Viscount GODERICH, The subject dropped. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT (IRELAND) Mr. DE VERE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, to state the intentions of the Government in relation to the Encumbered Estates Court ; and, especially, whether it was intended to make permanent the system for sale of encumbered estates, and to extend the benefit of that system to unencumbered estates. THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN DUBLIN. The O'DONOGHOE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the statements which had appeared in certain Irish newspapers, alleging that mobs had paraded the public streets of the city of Dublin on Saturday last, in some instances breaking the windows of police stations and of other places, molesting peace able inhabitants, forming party processions, and com• mitting other outrages, had taken place ; whether any measures had been adopted by the Irish Government for the punishment of such offenders, and for the future repression of similar offences. Lord NAAS rose and replied to the two questions at the same time. He said that with reference to the;first question he could only repeat his answer given on a former night that the subject was under the con sideration of the government, and after Easter the government would state the course they intended t) pursue. If they did not introduce a permanent measure they would a continuance Lill. With regard to the second question he said au assemblage of per sons took place in Dublin on Saturday, few of which only were students. He could not say the riot was of a serious character, and he was happy to say that the active measures taken by the Government had preserved the peace of the city, and he was led to believe the Excitement was passing away. He had just received a telegram since he bad come to the house that the city of Dublin was perfectly tranquil, and was likely to con tinue so. The Government would take such measures as they thought desirable to prevent a similar occurrence in future. Mr. J. D. FITZGERAID expressed his dissatisfac tion at the answer of the noble lord relative to the Encumbered Estates Court, because if anything sud denlycoiirt wouldoc curred,fa i 1 to and the Parliament ground, great dissolved, injury o t u h l i d s be inflicted thereby on the country. He considered the Government should state as early as possible their inten tions in reference to the course of policy with regard to this court, viz., as to its perpetuity and extension. Tnere was no difficulty in their stating their policy, though there might be iu the mode in which they would carry it out. Mr. VANCE considered the house should feel sat'e fie I with the statement of the G‘ive:nmeut, and wait till after Easter for an announceaat nt of to eir policy. The orders of the day were then disposed of, and the - ad j ,,)urn;cl at twenty minutes past 6 o'.:1 ck. it LONDON GAZETTE.—(This Evening. MARCH 18.

AGRICULTURAL STA.TISTIOS BILL.—Mr. Cairtl'e new bill has been printed. It requires the Board of Trade to take measures to obtain returns of land and produce from all occupiers in England and Wales, who will be called on to fill up forms and schedules to be left with them by the inspectors. The lands of occupiers neglect ing to make returns may be entered upon and inspecte d without their consent. LADVFIXTISIMINTI—The science of health and pathology ba l for cycles of centuries been involved in such obscurity and contradictions—so many unsuccessful efforts have been in eta oxr eseveryicrienocgat predisposed estdoo, improvementt `withoutro tak d u e e a e cd, s rLe o pes m aoptno e i n t nt something made desponding d i 1 greater t dw whichofevils,imperfectdll e n e d r s t a e y h a d i sT a t t o c ir t : of treatment. But when we find the spontaneous testintonY of men of the most exalted rank and character adduced is proof of the remedial virtues of a given therapeutic agent — when we see such men attesting their personal experience, and their gratitude for the relief they have received whenlabour lug under disease in its most harassing form—we have facts which it would bo absurd to doubt or dispute. Incredulity it- self must give way before such declarations as those of Lori Stuart de Decies, Archdeacon Stuart, Captain Bingham,R.N-. &c., in grateful acknowledgment of the benefits they have derived from the use of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabia* Food. And when, of the myriads who owe the blessings of recovered health to this preparation, no less than fifty thousand persons have performed the duty of describ• ing its effects upon themselves, Ewe feel that it is alto- gether removed from the ordinary category of what are called " patent me ticines," and that it is entitled to take rank amongst the most substantial blessings that have conferred upon our species. Amongst those thusrelied aro persons of all ages and professions, and the restored ila• valids include a large (proportion of clergymen, and indivi duals of sedentary habits, as well es of the classes engaged in active occupations. In numerous instances, the disordertad been of very long standing, ranging from three to upwards of sixty years ; and amongst the more prominent of the ma's• dies successfully dealt with, have been dyspepsia (indigo tion), constipation, functional irregularity, obstruction , , acidity, cramps, spasms, fits, heartburn, diarrhoea, nervous ness, biliousness, affections of the liver and kidneys, flatulency , detention, palpitation of the heart, nervous headache, deafness , noises in the head and ears, giddiness, pains between the shoulders, and in almost every part of the body, chronic iv flammation and ulceration of the stomach, eruptions on the skin, scurvy, fever, scrofula, impurities, poverty of biped, consumption (if not beyond human aid), dropsy, rheumatism, gout, influenza, grippe, nausea and vomiting during pref• nancy, after eating, or at sea, low spirits, spleen, gen eral debility, paralysis, cough, asthma, tightness across the chest. phlegm, inquietude., sleeplessness, involuntary blushing, tremors, dislike to society, unfitness for study, delusions , loss of memory, vertigo, blood to the head, exhaustion, me lancholy, groundless fear, indecision, wretchedness, thought of self-destruction, dr. When facts, such as we have referro i to, aro palpably and indisputably proved, we feel bound to admit that at length a real advance has been roads towards the great object of effectually combating some of the worst ills which flesh is proverbially heir to.
