OPERATIONS IN INDIA.—(VOTE (II THAftibb.)
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved that the first re-
solution of their lordships, giving a vote of thanks to Lord
Canning and the other high official persons in India, on the
Sib of February, be read, for the purpose of including in that
resolution a vote of thanks to the Hon. Frederick James
Halliday, Lieutenant-Governor of4.ll4neital. He believed that
the omission in the resolution pro by the late govern-
ment was entirely accidental. ( ear.) Mr. Halliday, who
was a civilian, had done extremely good service in India, in
the preparation of the oommissariat supplies and dawk con-
veyancee, and had given the utmost satisfaction to all persons
with whom he had had to deal in the great province of Ben-
gal. The day before yesterday a paper came into his hands
containing the representations of various ofiloers as to the
extremely satisfactory arrangements which had hem made
by Mr. Halliday. An Idnghelunan, on landing is India, was
seldom satisfied with the preparations for hie reception.
Quite the contrary. But lathe paper to which he had referred
the arrangements made by Mr. Halliday were described as
"all good,"—" everything good,"—" everything was arranged
to our entire satiafaction,"—" all in good condi-
tion,"—" sufficient quantity,"—" good quality,"—" ar-
rangements quits perfect,"—" rations excellent,"—" the
men received every possible attention." It was a
very greet merit on the part of a public officer
to provide for the troops and give satisfaction under circum-
stances of so much difficulty, sod it was nothing hut jetties
to make a proper acknowledgment of each services. (Hear,
hear.) He wished to take that opportunity of stating to their
kedshipe that her Majesty had been graciously phased to
declare her iatentioa of conferring a baronetcy on the eon of
the late Sir Henry Lawrence, and that it was the intention
of the Court of Directors to propose to the Court :=:
tors the graat of an annuity of 1,0001. a year. (Cheers.
Lord PANYURE, in cordially seconding the
white had jest been made, said that the reason of the mob-
dim ef Mr. Hulliday's nuns had bees soctorately stated by the
noble esti impale. There could be no doubt that Mr. Halli-
day had dose a peat deal towards the 1114X*1111 of the move-
cant of the troops in India, but messy of the sots for which
he had received credit had bean the consequeace of the ex-
°ghat arrangements of Lord Canning. He had beard with
