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.

PROCESSION OF. THE SILK WEAVERS.
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;
Ltor.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. The deputation

SECOND SALE OF ROWLAND STEPHF.NSON'S

EFFEC

Yesterday, by Order of the Assignees under the
Commission of Bankruptcy against Stephenson, the dead stock of
the farms at MarshaUs, near Romford, Eases, were disposed of on
the premises. Previous to the sale, there was a numerous assemblage,
part of whom were closely viewing the property. The farm appears
to have been well arranged, without extravagance, and is well
stocked; the live stock reserved for the next sale excited the most
attention, and is of a superior description.
Yesterday's sale comprised the agricultural implements, carts,
waggons, poultry, and rabbit•houses, stacks of hay, straw, &c.
wheat, peat. beans, mangel-wurzel, potatoes, &c. The whole, in
eighty-nine lots, which it is not necessary to particularize, pro-
duced good Pliers, and, added to those obtained at last Thursday's
sale, augurs well for the creditors.
