Zbe Oourt.
A SUDDEN gloom has been cast over the Court, by the unexpectedly- announced death of Prince Albert's father, the Grand Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha; intelligence of which reached Buckingham Palace on Saturday. The Duke of Cambridge called at the Palace in the course of the afternoon, to inquire after Prince Albert's health.
The Queen and Prince Albert left the Palace at five o'clock, in a travelling-carriage and four, for Windsor. No escort accompanied the carriage. Some of the suite had previously hastened down by the Great Western Railway. The Royal pair have since remained in great privacy at the Castle. The Duke of Cambridge visited the Dutebess of Gloucester on Sa- turday. On Wednesday, he attended a meeting of the Royal Agricul tural Society. On Thursday, the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge set out for Whitley Court, on a visit to the Queen Dowager.
