ATROCIOUS Can ELTY.—LLANDILO.—This place
was greatly enlivened on Friday last with the perform-
ances of a few of the crack shots of the place in killing
a bull at the Half-moon slaughterhouse. The customer
in hand being rather an ugly one to contend with, the
usual method adopted at Llandilo of slaughtering beasts
was abandoned, and the call was sounded for the cracks
to turn out, when, in a very short time, a pretty fair
sprinkling was in attendance. Preliminaries being ad-
justed, shot one stood forth, and let go—no visible effect
on the beast, except a slight contemptuous toss of the
head; 2to 4, ditto. No. 5 shot through the nostril—
snuff-taking spoilt; 6 to 8, harmless. No 9 advanced,
cautious, and, deliberately taking aim, bang smash goes
the left eye of the bull. The animal, in his agony, made
a lurch forward , snapped the rope which was fastened to his
horns, and passed through the bullring into the hands of
certain.gentlemen volunteers outside, who, in the ecstacy
of the moment, and in admiration of the last feat; simul-
taneously threw their heels overhead. The bull, being
' now free, went into the yard behind the slaughter-house,
and while there a stone of about 401bs. weight
was thrown at him from the King's Head Inn gar-
den, which is divided from tie yard by a wall of twenty-
four feet high. The stone dropping on his head, he
bellowed in the most hideous manner, and rushed back
to the slaughter-house. The crowd outside, deeming
prudence the best part of valour, although there was no

the hindmost." In a short time
order was restored, when No. 10 (who ought to have

been there early) fired and knocked a piece of the
bull's horn off; of course, the fault was that he never
practised with a flint-gun, or the bull winked at him.
No. 9 having spoilt his squinting, Nos. 11 to 17 hit all
parts of the body but the right place. No. IE, John
Richard, glorious John, finished his career. The bloody
affray began at nine o'clock A.M., and ended about ten
minutes to twelve. The owner ran away on the fourth
shot to a house about three hundred yards from the
slaughter-house, whence be sent boys to bring him news
of the state of the game; and when he heard the bull
was really dead, he jumped off his chair, and said,
" Thank God, he is dead now; I thought they would
never have killed him; but he always was a stubborn
bull."—Welshman.

Sa-
turday last, at
and
regretted, bath professionally
very generally
pri-
vately, especially among th litcrarycireles of the Scottish
the residence of a friend in
where he had been on a casual
metropolis,
and respected. Mr. Williams's reputation
as a landscape
painter rested chiefly on the beauty and truthfulness of
where the deceasedviasiistTwhas
his sea pieces, and his excellence in this respect was of
so individual a character, and so generally acknow-
ledged, that we believe his death will leave a gap in
Scottish art which it will not be easy to supply.
Ever since the establishment of the Royal Scottish
Academy, his pictures formed a conspicuous and at-
tractive feature in all its exhibitions at Edin-
burgh; and the fact of more than one of his productions
having been purchased by the association no later than
last year, showed that advancing age had not impaired
his powers. Mr. Williams was, we believe, in early life,

station (Nine Elms) are drawing up a remonstrance
against the great number of waggons; carriages, &c.,
which accumulate to such an extent every night as to
form a complete blockade, and parties are obstructed
from free ingress and egress to their houses. A. great
number of signatures have been attached. , ~
