NEWS OF THE WEEK.
TKE death of the Prince Consort on Saturday night has cast a gloom over the week. The mournful event was known on the following morning in most towns of Great Britain, and elicited everywhere the same feelings of profound regret for the loss sustained by the nation, and deep and heartfelt anxiety for the Queen. Happily, the latter care has not been added to the many which now press upon our statesmen. Her Majesty has found an unexpected strength in suffering, and turns to her children and her people with full consciousness that she has still ties to earth. The funeral of the Prince will take place on Monday, at Windsor, and the nation looks to the Heir Apparent to fill his father's place, as the first, though the unrecognized, counsellor of the throne.
