ANECDOTE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE MAK OF C: aaasco.—During the campaigu in Dutch Brabant, January, i lat 4, the small araty under the command of Sir Titus GIUMAId. now Lord I.irksuocu, wok up a position at the village of Mourn], from which we had previously driven the enemy. It was in front of Antwerp, and the obj et was not to lay siege to that strung and eatensive city with so small a force, but to endeavour to destroy the French and Dutch men-ul• war which were blocked up by the Ice in the Scheldt. Fur this purpose mortar batteries were con• minted, from which shells and Compote rockets were thrown, which weir answered I.y a twist cannonade from those of the enemy. Ills Royal highness the Duke of Ciasamica was with our army, and, intent on reconnoitring the enemy's works, he and one of his suite took posses of an empty house at the head of the village; these from an upper whitlow, whit the utmost sun froid. hr inspected through his spy-glass all the surrounding posts, whilst ' round shot and shells flaw about in every directiuu. At length this rectramaisance was perceived by the enemy, who incontinently pointed his tire on the place, and it was nit until the balls begau,tn: rattle down the roof over his heed, and to make the Isussmdoss, bust to hold hint, that his Royal flightless reluctantly witlidtew . . . from his post ; at the *unit time some men and three or tour 1 (Akers were killed and wounded in the village.—Unshed Service JO li rAd 14.1 • February. ~a , • iilnektvqoda Magazine for F,bt nary kiwis the fol:oa ing account t,l the tio itvaistiistces v bath lid to the col. lutist, bet wren the .Marquis ail A NOLFIIk.Y Allldt-eC4i.biti : •' Mr. O'Gorman Mahon was nominated to the Commis4 of ' the Peace, not by Sir Anthony Hart hut by Loid Manor:i t led upon the ri-commendition of Sir.

TO MEMORIAL HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF WEL LINGTON-(THIS DAY). , This being the day appointed for •the Journeymen Silk Weavers to wait en moue upon the Prime Moister with a Petition setting foith their grievances, and pray ing for relief, at an early hour, and, indeed, long before daylight, hundreds were assembling from the different parishes of Shoreditch,Melds, Bethnal Glees, and the hamlets of Mile End Old and New Town. The place el meeting was in front of the Royal Standard public house, and by an extraordinary coincidence, the extensive area in its front, where the journeymen con gregated, is called Waterloo Fields. Crowds up to 11 o clock continued pouring in from every direction, until ',at that hour the Meeting comprehended no less than I 10.000 persons. The greatest order and decorum pre vailed; and though we had expected to see much misery, we were agreeably disappointed by observing that, at least externally, this industrious class of the community bore the appearance of comparative comfort. • ' Shortly be(oie eleven, Mr. Isaacs Duce took the' Chair, and addressed the Meeting from an open window on the fist floor. Hrving first called for their attention and silence, a, call that was obeyed with the greatest, promptitude, .and which produced almost death-like; stillness amongst the immense multitude, he said, that , be „would not occupy their otention at present by dilating on the question for which they bad assemble.% The presence of his fellow journeymen was a sufficient proof thatthey were aware of it, and that they felt deeply the vitality of their situation. They were met to metnotialise the Duke of Wellington, and to present their n eiwrial in person. This was deeMed the more prudent course, and had the concurrence of the trade; L tor.thes by their numbers' and 'al peara'.ce, his Grace would have a more forcible argument for lending an , attention to their complaints than if they were for klided through a deputation, or in the shoal t fficial eamter. .All that remained for him, previous to their forrnieg the procession, was to read to them the Memo.. It had already been adopted, but it might be pindenft that it should receive the .ddittolial recom- Mendation of an approval ot the multitude of his fel low tradesmen Wvoch were then assembled. The Sacarraav then read the Memorial, a copy rf which we gave in yesterday's STAR. When the Petition had been road, the different para graphs of which were received with universal acclama. Lion, the procession Wai formed, and shortly • after gleven o'clock moved off the grrund to Downing street. The route was through Church street, Spiral. square, Worship -street, City-road, Old -street, Clerken., well-gr , en, Hatton-gsrden, Holborn. Lincoln's Inn fields, Queen-street, Drury-lani , the Stranl, Charing Cross, and Whitehall. Several banners, descriptive of the distressed state of the trade, were exhibited; and, as emblematical of its reduced condition, the inscriptions were in mourning characters. One bore the motto of •• Free Trade and Paup rhos," another 4 . Victims of Free Trade;" a third, . 1 British A tizans starving;" a fourth, l• British Silk 'Dade Ruined by - Competition;' and a filth, Let us live b)oui labour. A loom also, without its working adjuncts of reed of harness, and covered with crape, was borne on a pole. 'the greatest older prevailed daring their progress, and a lively sympathy was expressed by the inhabitants aft those sere. is al-og which they passed. In consequence of a Resolution passed at a Meeting of Br• ad Silk %Veal/yrs, last Saturday night, at the Duke f Gloucester public house, Se‘blight street, B giera, yesterday morning the Committer consisting of Messrs. Garland, K old, Ca , pen ter ancl .. D nier, waited upon slr. Broughton, the Ma .gistrate at Worship street Poii. e office, for the purpose :of apprizing him that it was the intention of the S.lk Weavers to proceed in a body on the following (this) Jay, with a memorial to his Grace the Doke of Wel lington, and that it was the wish of the silk trade the Nlagistrates would afford them eve', possible assist ance in the preserv..tin of the peace. Mr. Broughton mpath zet.l ouch in the present unparalleled distressed situation of the Silk Weaver., and having the utmost reliance upon their loyalty anJ peaceable demeanour. he would be the It.st man in society that would attempt to interrupt or prevent them from the employment of such a display of their sufferings; but he would put it to Mr. GAI land, whether or not it mould he more 10- visable to wa't, by deputation, upon his Gi4CC, in pre ference to going its a b .dy ? Mr. Gar! .n t said, he perfes:tly coi: cid d in the opinion or the M.gistrates, and, as ta uti.d be seen by the Public Press, at the Me wig alluded to, lie aped a resolution to that effect, which was eveitt 'tally lost; and that no entreaty would (hen prevent them going in a body. The Magistrate • then gave directions that Armstrong and A 'Sri.' should •assist the we,.vers in the peeservation t•f the public ;:race, and that he w• uid apprise the Secretary of State A. to the ohkct t.f their application.
