Ebe eourt.
THREE has been scarcely anything to note at Windsor Castle this week, ex- cept a rather untoward event. The Queen and children have improved every interval of fine weather in tatting out-door exercise; but Prince Albert has been confined in-doors by an accident. As he was setting out for town on Saturday morning, his Royal Highness slipped in going up a flight of stairs, and sprained his ankle. He treated the matter lightly, came to town by the Great Western Railway, and transacted business at the office of the Dutchy of Cornwall. On his return to the Castle, however, the limb was much swollen and inflamed, and medical advice was no longer delayed. The pain was soon assuaged, and the patient placed in a fair way to get well.
The Dutchess of Kent has paid a few morning-vielts at the Castle; and she dined there on Wednesday.
Some other visiters have spent a day or two,—the Honourable Mr. and Mrs. Bloomfield, and Sir Henry Wheatley.
