20, 1858-

name of Havelock in India would in future call to recol-
lection some of the mightiest deeds ever performed, and
the honour that was now about to be conferred on his
memory was more than justly due. He therefore begged
to move the second resolution, which was as follows1:
" That independent of the material testimony borne by
Parliament to the late General, it is desirable that the
British people should have an adequate opportunity of
showing their gratitude for his distinguished services."
The resolution, which was seconded by Admiral
Hargood, was carried unanimously.
Sir W, GoMMS said he felt an inexpressible pleasure
in moving the third resolution, for no one could enter-
tain a higher opinion of the military skill of the late
lamented Havelock than he did. The resolution was as

follows :
" That her Majesty's Government having, with the ex-
press sanction of her Majesty, granted a site in Trafalgar-
square for a statue, the erection of such monument should
be promoted as largely as possible by the contributions of
all class3s of her Majesty's subjects."
Mr. V. SMITH, having been called upon by the noble
chairman to second the resolution, said he had not ex-
pected to have had the honour of addressing so great
a meeting, but he hesitated not for a moment to comply
with the call of his Royal Highness. Tile gallant
Havelock, at whose very name the heart throbbed, had
performed in India services without parallel in the an •
nals of England. (Cheers.) Whether they looked at the
military or civil services of the late Sir H. Havelock, both
were worthy the admiration of a grateful country. The
despatches he wrote proved how great ware his literary
attainments, and in one sentence in the document, describ-
ing the career of his son at the engagement for which he
recommended him for the Victoria Cross, Sir Henry said
through all the dangers of that siege--" On went Lieut.
riavelook." (Cheers.) That sentence will set forth the career
of Sir Henry. (Cheers.) On he went through dangers
and difficulties of no ordinary kind. It afforded him
the greatest delight in being called upon to second the
resolution.
The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was carried
unanimou'ly.
Lord J. RUSSELL moved the 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 25th
January last."
Tile 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
nolaly 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 seconded 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 tte honour to
address. He had mixed amongst large numbers of
soldiers, and in every place he had beard 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 Lucknow 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 continue 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. Hunsz 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 such 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. ROUPELL, M.P., seconded the motion, which
was carried amidst loud cheers.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved a vote of thanks to his
Royal Highness for his conduct in the chair.
The resolution was carried in the most enthusiastic
manner.

Hie ROYAL HIGHNESS, 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 broke up.
