At Belfast, on the 28th ult., after a few days' illness, Mr. Matthew MARSHALL, aged 50. He served 25 years in the British army, during part of which he was troop serjeant-major in the 6th or Enniskillen Dragoons; and was present, with that distinguished corps, on the memorable field of Waterloo. In the action of the 18th, the Enniskillens made several brilliant charges, particularly against the French cuirassiers, which repeatedly brought several of the Irish heroes into single combat with the mailed warriors of France. On one occasion, the Enniskillens charged in line, when MARSHALL's squadron exceeding even their native impetuosity and valour, dashed into the thickest of the enemy's phalanx, and being completely hemmed in on all sides, were cut off from the other troops of the regiment—every man had fearful odds to encounter in endeavouring to return to the British lines; MARSHALL, while sabring one of a party of cuirassiers on his right, had his bridle arm broken by a stroke from an enemy on his left, and had not proceeded much farther when he was beset by another crowd of French cavalry, and hurled from his horse by a lance which penetrated his side; while he was falling, he received a heavy blow across the body, and another which broke his right thigh. He lay for some time on the ground, unconscious of every object around, except when goaded to sensibility by the hoofs of the enemy's horses careering over his mangled body; the ground afterwards became somewhat clear; having partially recovered, he looked around, and espied a horse, without any rider, towards which he crawled, and was about to mount the animal, when he was seen by a French trooper, who galloping up, cut down poor MARSHALL, in the midst of his slender hopes, inflicting several severe wounds on his body. This part of the field was again occupied by French forces, particularly artillery, of whose presence around him, MARSHALL was first made aware, by one of the gunners making his mangled body a resting-place for his foot, while ramming his gun.—This is but a faint outline of the many painfully interesting events which befel the subject of this hasty memoir on that day. The battle having concluded, circumstances prevented immediate attention from being paid to the wounded, and MARSHALL remained on the field with nineteen lance and sabre wounds on his body, for two days and three nights. On the regiment returning home, he was discharged with a pension of 2s. a-day.
