[Sidenote: 1834] [Sidenote: 1835] [Sidenote: 1836] [Sidenote: 1837] From Hounslow, the head-quarters marched in May, 1834, to Leeds; in May, 1835, the regiment proceeded to Manchester; and in April, 1836, the head-quarters were removed to Ipswich, from whence they proceeded, in May, 1837, to Coventry. [Sidenote: 1838] The regiment embarked at Liverpool, in June, 1838, for Ireland, and was employed on duty at Dublin. [Sidenote: 1839] Lieut.-General Sir John Elley died in January, 1839, and was succeeded by Lieut.-General Sir Joseph Stratton, K.C.H., who was removed to the Eighth Dragoons in August, and the colonelcy was conferred on Major-General Sir Arthur Benjamin Clifton, K.C.B., K.C.H. [Sidenote: 1840] The regiment remained at Dublin until May, 1840, when it proceeded to Cahir. [Sidenote: 1841] In May, 1841, the regiment returned to Dublin, from whence it embarked for Scotland, and arrived at Glasgow at the end of that month. It was removed to Edinburgh in the month of August following. The usefulness and efficiency of the SEVENTEENTH Regiment of Lancers;--the steadiness, good conduct, and attention to the rules of discipline, evinced by the soldiers;--and the admirable quality and training of the horses, afford abundant proof of the zealous and constant superintendence of the officers, and their regard to the credit and honour of the corps. The expressions of approbation of the gallantry of the regiment when employed on active service, as announced, on several occasions, in public orders;--and the testimony borne by the general officers under whom it has, from time to time, been employed, to the excellence of its appearance, system, and conduct,--fully support the claim of the regiment to the favour of the crown, the confidence of the government, and the admiration of the country.
