s seconded by General Sir W. Codrington, who said that
the Russian Government had given additional land at Cathcart's Hill; and
that the grave-stones and other memorials should be removed there. He
did not think there should be any removal of the remains of the dead.

The Prince of Wales again rose, and said--

"I wish to add that when I went over the different places of
interest in the Crimea, and inspected all our burial-places, I
was accompanied by one of the most courteous gentlemen, General
Kotzebue, the Governor-General of Odessa; and I need only say
that, as far as the Russian Government represented by him was
concerned, everything was done to keep the graves from
desecration. But he told me that, unfortunately, they were
powerless to prevent it; and it was his opinion, and he strongly
advised me, that the only way in which to prevent a repetition
of a desecration of the tombs would be, as I mentioned before,
to collect the remains and place them in a mausoleum--in the
same way, in fact, as the French had done. I wish also to say
that, on my return in the summer from my visit to the Crimea, I
brought the whole matter most strongly before the late Lord
Clarendon, who was then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs."

After conversation and remarks by Admiral Sir H. Keppel, General Sir L.
A. Simmons, Lord Wolseley, and others, resolutions were carried for the
concentration of the memorials in one central place, without removing
the remains of the dead; and for applying to the Government and to the
nation for larger funds to pay additional guardians of the cemeteries.
The Duke of Cambridge was warmly commended for having called the
meeting, which was justified by the large attendance, and the Prince of
Wales for his advocacy of the object in view. Tho interest of their
Royal Highnesses was practically attested by the gift of L50 from the
Prince of Wales and L25 from the Duke of Cambridge toward the necessary
funds. It was stated in the course of the proceedings that the French
Government granted yearly more than double what the British Government
did, for protecting the Crimean graves.
