CITY INTELLIGENCE.
a Bull Story" MANY Killed. but Nobody
Hurt" Yesterday afternoon all cold Town.
and considerable portion of "New Town."
was thrown into great commotIon and ex-
element, in consequence of report Of bull
having broken loose from some butchers and
killed several persons. We started forth inn
mediately to learn the particulars Of so dread
full an affair and after several hours unremitting
exertions were enabled to collect the following
informaton:-A large BULL which was penned
by butcher at his slaughter house, on East
Baltimore street, broke from the enclosure in
which he was confined, and started off full tilt
towards the centre of the city, followed by Sc
yeral persons on horseback, and large crowd
of men and boys on foot, who chased him thro'
a number of streets, and finally captured him
at the corner of Baltimore and Front streets,
where he was tied and hauled home again on
dray. In his course he knocked down several
persons inluring them somewhat, but none
ever, had made the animal commit dreadful
havoc, and we counted in Albermarle, Lom-
bard, Aisquith, Low and Forrest streets, no
less than one man, one woman, one nurse, and
at least a dozen children, tramped upon,
wounded, grred, and killed!-but by diligent
search and enquiry, for the life of US, we could
not find the first dead child. When we left the
scene of the commotion, the number of wound
ed and killed was steadily increasing, and we
have no doubt, by this morning, the number
will have increased in a startling ratio. But
seriously we do not think that any person was
seriously hurt, although several were injured.
MILITARY Parade. The Independent G eys,
Major Law, and German Yeagers, Captain Ell
terman, paraded Yesterday afternoon through
our principal reefs and with their full ranks,

yet remaining in these corps, aud hope that
other companies may be induced to follow their
example, and again gladden. the eyes Of our CT
