Royal personages have love of
rapid lOcOmOtiOn. Queen Victoria likes
it, SO did her grandfather, King George,
and it has lately nearly cost King Al
fonso, whose equipages seem to be as
much out of repair rs his kingdom, his
life. The accident occurred when he
was returning to La Granja from his
sisters funeral ut the Escurial. The
char-a-banc had six horses, and con-
tanned about fifteen persons, including
three of his sisters. Soon after starting
an axletree broke, and at the last of the
seven turnings of a most precipitOus
road one of the hind wheels flew off, and
but for the presence of mind of the
position of the leaders, who turned sharp
to the right, all would have gone down
the precipice.
