MONUMENT TO GENERAL HAVELOCK:

PUBLIC MEETING.
(Front the Sunderland Herald.)
This day (Friday) at noon a public meeting of the
inhabitants of Sunderland and the neighbourhood, called
by the Mayor (G. S. Ranson, Esq.), in pursuance of a
resolution of the Town Council, was held in the
Athenaeum, Fawcett-street, for the purpose of originating
and promoting a subscription for the erection of a suit•
able monument to the memory of the late lamented
General Havelock at the place of his birth. The
attendance was numerous, including many of the leading
inhabitants of the town and surrounding districts, and
the proceedings were marked throughout by much
enthusiasm in favour of the object in view. The Mayor,
wearing, his chain of office, occupied the chair, and
amoegst those on or near the platform we observed the
following :—George Hudson, Esq., M.P. ; H. Fen wick,
Esq., M.P. ; R. L. Pemberton, Esq. ; Coristopher
Bram well, Esq. ; Robert Scurfield, Esq. ; H. Tanner,
; Robert Fenwick, Esq., jun. ; J. S. Robinson,
Esq. ; E. Clarke, Esq. ; G. Wilkinson, Esq., Oswald
House, Durham'; Ald. Allison ; Ald. Ord ; Ald. Mor-
-I,er ; Ald. Moore ; Rev. J. P. E len ; Rev. R. Skip-
sey; Skipsey, Esq , jun. ; D. Jonasson, Esq. ;
George Reed, Esq. ; George Hudson, E•q., Grange ;
John Nicholson, E-q. ; Cooper Abbe, Esq. •; William
Croudace, Esq ; Frederick Horn, Esq. ; E. Maling,
Esq. ; T. Ranson, Esq. ; T. E. Chapman, Esq. ; Robt.
Ord, Esq. ; J. N. Wilson, Esq. ; Wm. ;
E. T. Gourley, EN.; F. H. Johnson, Esq. ; H. Bram-

.Alcork, &q. ; Messrs. R. Vint, George Hardcastle, R.
Fairclougb, W. Givens, If; J. Dixon, Blair, Sidgwick,
S. S. Hodgson, S. Howe, Thomas Moore, etc.
The MAYOR rose and said—Gentlemen, I am glad to
see PO large and influential -an attendance here to-day,
though it is certainly not a larger attendance than I ex-
pected—in fact, I should have liked to see this room
crowded to excess on this occasion. The object we have
in view is of such deep and thrilling interest not only to
this locality, and to the nation at large, but to the whole
civilised world, that I feel I need not occupy much of
your time in explaining its nature. The gentlemen who
have undertaken to explain that object will do it better
than I can. But before I sit down I will express
one hope—that whatever your testimonial may be, how-
ever framed, or whatever its font, you will take care
that the teslintonial shall be erected in this parish—
(loud applause)—the birth place of that gallant hero whose
memory we so deeply revere and whose death we so
deeply deplore. (Renewed applause.) Gentlemen, I
regret the unavoidable absence of Earl Vane. on this
occasion. His lordsh;e, a oay or- two ago, wrote as
follows :—" I have the honour to acknowledge receipt
of your letter, and beg in reply to say, that although it
will ndt be in my power to attend the committee meet-
ing on Wednesday, Isbell have much pleasure in attend-
ing the public meeting on the following day."
(Applause.) Unfortunately, as I understand, his lord-
ship has bsen called away to attend his Sovereign.
He writes accordingly to say that in consequence
of some important business which unfortunately
detains him he will be unable to attend ; he then ex-
plains the cause of detention ; and he adds, that he will
be happy to serve ore the committee should his services
be required. (Applause.) I am sure we should have been
delighted to see his lordship here ; lout although not here
in person I am satisfied his heart is with us. I have also
a letter from R. H. Allan, Esq., of Blackwell, who says
—" I regard with pride and satisfaction the steps taken
to erect a monument to my lamented kinsman, the late
General Havelock. I concur with a suggestion which I
observe was made by Alderman Mordey, that it should
not be confined to the county, but that the subscription
should be open to the entire country. I beg you will
all w me to subscribe 2001. towards the object." (Much
applause.) In conclusion I shall confine myself simply to
again observing, that whether you resolve upon having
a-national monument, or one confined to the county of
Durham, I do hope you will let it be erected in the
ship then

received, and he resumed his seat amidst much applause.
The Tows CLERK accordingly read the letters re-
ferred to, beginning with one from Lurd Adolphus Vane
Tempest, who regretted his inability to attend, but
assured the committee of the pleasure he should feel in
subscribing and co-operating in the object. Another
was from R S. Surtees, Esq., of Hameterley Hall, ad-
dressed to Earl Vane, wherein the writer begged to say
he should have great pleasure in aiding the proposal for
a monument to General Havelock by every means in his
power. There was also a letter from the Very Rev, the
Deao of Durham, who said he should be happy to sub:
scribe to the monument. The next letter was from Sir
Wm. Eden, of Windlestone, in which that gentleman
said he should most willingly give his mite towards the
oi ject. Thera was also a 'fetter of apology from the
Mayor of Stockton. And Percival Foster, Esq., wrote
to say he had forwarded the committee's circular to Mr.
Mowbray, M.P., who was with his family at St.
Leonard's, and he regretted to thick thatthe unavoidable
shortness of notice would render that gentleman's
attendance almost impossible, but he felt assured :f the
object having his best wishes. (The reading of these
communications was received with mush applause.)
Mr. EfuosoN, M.P., on rising to address the meeting,
was received with warm applause. He sail—Mr. Mayor
and Gentlemen—l can assure you I never rose to address
a meeting under greater difficulty than I do on the
present occasion. I had hoped when I came to this
meeting that the noble earl whose letter appeared in the
papers advocating the object we desire to promote would
have been here to take a leading part in these proceed-
ings, and I am sure we all regret his unav&dable
absence. But, gentlemen, I am too good a disciplinarian

more anxious to rendere-
justice to the object of this
meeting. Had I been aware that I should be called
upon to take a prominent part in these proceedings
hough it is not my habit to prepare my observations,'
yet being sensible of the imp irtanoe of the object, not
only in the estimation of this town itself, but of the
country at large, I shot'ld have thought it my duty to
have had some observations in readiness, or at least to
have been better prepared than I am. (Applause.) But
to me, gentlemen, under these circumstances, it is a
great satisfaction to reflect that this is an object
which requires no advocacy so far as you are con-
cerned—that you need no inducement from me to
respond most heartily to the first resolution which
I hold in my hand. (Loud applause,) We are assem-
bled here to do honour to the memory of a Christian,
a hero, a patriot —(renewed applause)—to recog-
nise in the deceased General !Havelock all those great
qualities which adorn human nature, which lifts us above
every other creature in the scale of God's creation—to
do justice to the character, the virtues and public services,
and to commemorate the loss of one of the greatest men
England has produced within the present century. (Great
applause.) The diffieulties he bad to encounter are known
to have been of the most distressing kind—difficulties
the most harassing to the mind—in his efforts to rescue
from danger and degradation our fair countrywomen and
our brave countrymen ; and the extraordinary zeal and
ability he displayed in fulfilling the great task he set
himself to perform have been such as to excite the ad-
miration of his countrymen and of all true admirers of
worth and greatness. It pleased God that he shored see
accomplished the complete deliverance he aimed at
achieving—the deliverance by him who succeeded under
more advantageous circumstances in relieving Lucknow.
Having performed his part in that great work, it phased
that Divine Providence whose behests we must all obey
to take him hence, and we, a sorrowing nation, lament
hie departure. (Hear, and applause.) We are met to do

honour to that great individual. Alas, to him it is
no value. But he has left. behind him one who, in the
midst of that affliction to which humanity
derive some support from the re:enaction that he whonl
she mourns is appreciated by the nation, and that Provi-
dence had honoured him by the task it had imposed upon
is subject will
him, inasmuch as it was leift to hire. not to conquer a
nation, but to save a nation from destruction.
(Applause,) No doubt she will boW to the
stroke with that fortitude which it behoves a Chris-
tian t how under the circumstances. She will no
doubt find consolation M the conclusion--" The Lord
gave and the Lord taketh away • blessed be the name of
the Lord." (Appleuse.N It is
not' now our object, hew-
ever, to honour our own neighbour. Our object is the far
higher one of erecting a monument to his memory, and
thereby holding him out as a splendid exatnple to unborn
generations, that they may follow in the path he trod,
and fulfil the duties of life as he did—that they may learn
from his case that a great nation cau be grateful and
wet honour the memory of a man who fearlessly,
honestly, and conscientiously di charges his duty. (Loud
applause.) We may look forward, perhaps to some
future hero of this town who m have to pass by that
monument aril who will read its inscription: He will
there catch a glow of that enthueia;tn which distinguished
the honoured departed ; he may pass on from that spot
to peruse the page of some faithful historian who will
chroniole the events of that hero's life; and so he may
learn that in whatever situation of life lie may be placed
he has only to discharge faithfully the duties assigned to
him in order to gain the esteemaid respect of hie fellow
men. (Applause.) And thus he may learn that a man
may be a Christian, and yet a gallant hero ; that he
may be a Christian, and serve in t hose wars whose tales
of blood harrow our hearts, Ihope the suggestion of
the Town Council will be fully carried out, in the erec-
tion of a monument worthy of the deceased and of the
place of his birth. Ho* naystelioas are the ways of
Providence ! As an eminent writer -liar observed,
"What shadows we are, and whitt shadows we pur-
sue !"' Who foresaw, whir the father of this illus.
trious man removed from Sunderland to take, up his
abode in another place, where through the force of cir-
cumstances not under his own control the son whom he
hoped would be the pride of his father in pursuits• of
another kind was induced to adopt a military life—who
could have foreseen that that son a ou'd live to distioguieh
himself in a distant clime, where—as I have already
observed—it was his lot not to conquer a nation, but to
save one, and that one of the brigt,test gems in the
British crown. (Applause.) I will only further observe,
that I atu sure that if our fair countrywomen bad had
the opportunity of attending this meeting they would
have been deeply gratified in sanctioning our proceedings
by their presence. I hope that Parliament will make
ample provision for the widow of the distinguished man
whose memory we are met to honour. No doubt
Parliament, when it assembles again, will be ready to
give effect to our wishes on this point in the form of a
liberal and handsome provision. (Applause) It is all
the solace we have in our power to give; but such as
it is we freely render it ; may she long be spared t ) be a
comfort to the remainder of his family, and a witness to
the distinguished conduct of her son, who, I hope, will
ere long emulate his distinguished father.- (Applause )

energy, and perseverance. (Applause.) It pleased God
that a fatal disease should overtake that distinguished man
—that he should be removed, not by a soldier's death,
but by a rapid and painful malady. We know not how
much that disease was accelerated by the anxiety he
felt, not for himself, for the gallant man is never selfish,
but on account of those for whose protection he first
entered Lucknow, and whose safety he was so anxious to

—to testify our conviction that Sunderland, in giving
birth to Havelock, gave birth to a soldier, a statesman,
and one whose name will ever be enrolled amongst the

most distinguished of those inscribed in the annals of the
country. (Applause) With these hasty and, I fear,
imperfect remarks, I shall conclude by submitting to
your notice the first resolution—" That this meeting
desires to•record its profound regret for the loss of the
late General Sir Henry Havelock, who, in an eventful
crisie, being suddenly called upon to assume high com-
mand in the service of his Sovereign, led her Majesty's
troops from victory to victory, against most overwhelm.
ing numbers, and performed such deeds of heroism as to
have excited universal admiration, while his character as
a man and a Christian adorned and gave weight to his
abilities as a soldier." (The hon. member resumed his
seat amidst loud applause.)

R. L. PEMBERTON, Big., said be had been requested
to second the resolution so eloquently proposed to
them by Mr. Hudson. He did so with the utmost
cordiality. But a few months since, at every meeting
throughout this country, the name of Havelock was

loss, and to raise a monument to his memory. He trusted
the committee would be most successful, and begged to
conclude by seconding the resolution which had been so
eloquently propesed by Mr. Hudson. (Applause.)
The resolution was put to the meeting, and carried
unanimously.

their duty to provide handsomely for those whom the
hero has left behind, as well as to erect a nstional monu
went to his honour in one of those great placee where
the monuments of our great heroes are erected. (Len•t
applause.) lam quite sure of this, my hon. colleague
and myself will most heartily co-operate together for the
purpose of obtaieing that object. (Cheers.) I was
reading only the other day some poetry upon the death
of Havelock. and there were two lines which struck me
as showing the character of him whose loss we deplore.
I touk the words down in writing so that I might not
make any mistake, and they were— -
"Alike in es ice or war, one path he trod, •
Ills law was duty, aad ,is guide was God."
(Loud applause.) Let our law now be duty—that duty
to erect a monument to his goodness Let our guide
in the matter be, He who guides surely the heart of all
men. (The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst
long continued cheers.)
JAMES LAING, Esq., J.P., seconded the motion,
Sunderland was ever ready to recognise true merit
wherever it appeared ; and he was sure, in this instance,
they would do theirtutrnost to carry out the ohjset of
the meeting. He trusted that the subscription list would
be filled up so handsomely, from pounds to pence, by all
ctasses in the town, as to amount to such a sum that
whilst they had something to ornament their new and
beautiful park, a sufficient balance would be left to erect
something, which will not only be a memorial of him
bat also useful and enduring. (Applause.)
The motion was then put to the meeting by the
Mayor, and carried, unanie sly.
CIIRISTOPHER BRAMWELL, E q., rose and submitted
the following resolution :—" That the Mayor and Cor-
poration be requested to allow the monument to be
erected on the Hill in Mowbray Park, a site which is in
every way admirably suited for the purpose." In sup-
porting this resolution, Mr. B. said he did not think
there was a single individual in this borough who would
refuse to join in it. (Cheere) A more appropriate place
could not ha four for a mmuraentto,Getteral Havelock.than the town o Suuderland. It was the largest town
in the county of Durham—it was the birthplaoe of the
immortal hero whose memory they wished to hand down
to posterity—and the site upon which it was proposed
to place it was within sight of the church where be had
been baptised by the good and pious Dr. Paley. Mr..
Bramwell then expressed his inability to improve upon
what had been said by Mr. Hudson and Mr. Fen-
wick, and went on to say that he had been informed
by a gentleman occupying a very influential position
in the county of Durham that it was Havelock'a
invariable practice to rise one hour previous to
entering into action, or to engaging in the ordioary
business of the day, and attend to his services to his
God. Hie military achievements were before them, and
he need not allude to them ; but before be sat down he
wished to express the hope that this proposal should be
vigorously carried out, and that a monument would be
ereeted which should be the means of perpetuating the
fame of this good man to future generations.
G. HUDSON, Esq., Monk wearmouth, briefly seconded
the motion.
The MAYOR, in putting the resolution, said it should
have his cordial support. (Cheers.)
H. TANNER, Esq., in proposing the fourth resolution,
remarked that it needed no comment, and then submitted
it as follows to the meeting :—" That the committee
who may be appointed for the purpose of carrying into
effect these resolutions be instructed, when the funds
shall warrant it, to invite, by public competition,
designs for the monument to be erected, and that, pre-
vious to a decision, such designs be publicly exhibited
in such place or pleceeas the ceinenittee may determine.'
Mr. Alderman ORD, in seconding the resolution, said.
be had the greatest pleasure in doing so, for he felt it to
be an honour to be present at a meeting such as the
present. He was glad to see so many of his townsmen
come up to further the object in view, and to do honour
to the memory of a man who had done so much for his
country. (Cheers.) He might remind them that the
father of General Havelock was a man of no common
energy of character and commercial enterprise. He
built the largest ship that hart ever, up till that period,
been built at this port—the "Lord Duncan".—a vessel
which attracted the attention of the whole coucty at
the time she was launched. He hoped they would ell
come forward and contribute. (Cheers.) He would
advocate the receiving of subscriptions from all—he
would take sixpence from the poorest, up to the highest
amount which any one chose to give.
Mr. Alderman MooRR submitted the names of the
committee for carrying out the previous resolutions. The
following are a few of the names S. Ranson, Esq.,
Mayor of the borough ; Earl Vane ; H. Fenwick, Esq ,
M.P.,; Gen. Hudson, RI , M.P.; R. Stephenson, Esq.,

Moore simply read the resolution, which was seconded
by Mr. Alderman Allison, and unanimously adopted.
Mr. DITCHIURN, from the body of the hall, asked if
they might not have a "Havelock School" for the monu-
ment, to which the Mayor replied that that matter must
beleftlo the discretion of the committee.
Captain Barzerne safd he thought there had been an
' oversight on the part of the committee, in not drawing
up a resolution expressing condolence with the widow of
the departed hero. He accordingly begged to move
"That the condolence of this meeting be expressed and
paid to Lady Havelock, in whatever form the Mayor and
Corporation might think fit." (Cheers. Mr. FENWICK —Mr. Mayor and gentlemen,
I have the
greatest possible pleasure in seconding the motion which
has been proposed by Captain Bellaire. In the loss which
we have suffered—which the nation has suffered—we
know what our feelings are. Let us, then, picture to
ourselves for one moment the feelings of his widow and
children. I think that it is sufficient for us to express
our sympathy with them in the sufferings which they
are now undergoing, and I beg most heartily to second
the resolution which has been proposed. I ought also
to add that the Mayor, on behalf of this meeting, be
requested to sign the letter of sympathy. (Corers.)
The MAYOR said Captain Bellaire was in error in sup-
posing that the committee had overlooked this matter,
and he bad only allowed the motion to be taken up by
the captain as he had expressed a desire to do so. His
worship then announced that subscription lists would
be laid at all the banks, and also at the Exchange.
Mr. HUDSON, with reference to Mr. Ditchburn'e allu-
sion to a " Havelock School," expressed his approval of
some such application of the money after the monument
bad been secured. But they must have it first, and all
further undertakings would depend, of course on the
amount raised. Mr. Hudson concluded by proposing a
vote of thanks to the Mayor, which was seconded by
Mr. FENWICS, who remarked that he had sever seen
any chief magistrate display more ability, fairness, and
good sense, than characterised his worship in the dis-
charge of his public duties.
The motion was put by Mr. Hodson, and carried by
acclamation.
The MAYOR acknowledged the compliment, and the
meeting separated about half-past one o'clock.
