MAJOR STUART WORTLEYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether Her Majesty's Government had considered the expediency of keeping the troops in China as much on board ship as possible until the close of the unhealthy season renders field operations practicable; and whether, when the troops are encamped, they are to be supplied with the Indian tents?
§ SIR CHARLES WOODsaid, that the Government had taken measures to keep as many of the troops on board ship as possible until the end of the hot season. Supplies of tents would he sent from India to China when they were to be encamped.
