A correspondent says, the surprizing Musical Child, who is called the Infant Orpheus, now performing at Astley’s with so much applause, has received from a Lady of Quality a very handsome saddle, on which is most curiously worked with a needle, the story of Orpheus and Eurydice on one side, and that of Amphion building Thebes by playing on his lute, on the other. Probably this Lady took the idea of making him this liberal present from observing how much he is delighted with Mr. Astley’s promises of a little horse, &c.
