EDWIN LANDSEER the painter and JOHN PYE the engraver have
combined their talents to produce a graphic monument to the memory of one William Sniff'', a Waterloo hero, which will spread the fame of this humble soldier wider than that of many a commander. The trophy consists of a portrait of 1Villiam Smith's faithful companion, a one-eyed, wire-haired terrier; who, having his leg shattered by a musket- - shot, as William Smith had his carried off by a cannon-ball, came and sat beside the wounded soldier on the field of battle, and never left hint after; but when the disabled pensioner stumped along on a wooden leg, the dog limped after him. Here he reclines, in a sickly state, against the mattress on which his master died; and behind him are the now useless wooden-leg, stick, and pipe of the departed veteran. As the arms and horse of the general officer form part of the pageant of his funeral procession, so the leg and the dog of the private are here grouped in this pi -tonal blazonry of his achievements. Whether the virtues of William Smith, or the picturesqueness of his dog, or both together, stimulated the artists to this labour of love, the humorous inscription beneath does not inform us.
