From Galignanis Messenger.
An Englishman, Sir James Nursey, was
walking recently in the Park of La Granja, near
Madrid. when he sat down on q bench to rest.
Presently handsomely attired nurse, carrying
an infant came and seated herself near him.
The child at once fixed its eyes on the bright
silver knob of the stick the Engiishman was
carrying, and stretched out its arms for it. The
stranger abandoned the coveted object to the
child 70 play with, but when q quarter Of an
hour later he wished TO resume his walk the
infant refused TO give up the stick, and screamed
with rage when the nurse attempted TO take IL
from him. The gentleman was obliged 70 leave
without his cane, but gave his card to the nurse,
to return 1t. In the evening q domestic from
the court brought the stick back to Sir James
Nursey, with letter from Queen Maria Chris
tina, thanking him tor the pleasure he had
caused her son. Sir James had made the &C.
