under 13 years of age, the son of a .
'tor residing at Colebill, was broughtl

ill serious cause for anxiety."
At 4.30 p.m. the following startling bulletin was
liasuisigned by the four physicians :
"elThe Prince Consort is in a most critical state."

ITh-e-Olohe of the same evening announced that
great excitement prevailed at Windsor.
A special service had been held at St. John's
'lurch.

LospoN, ti p.m.—The hopes of a favourable re-
have not yet been realised, and there is the
anxiety.
announcements were succeeded by the

Ifollowing :
Losnos, 10 p.m.—The anxiety increases, and
irious fears are now entertained.
From that time the symptoms commenced to take
he most unfavourable turn, and fever of the
typhoid type set in. All attempts to arrest the
progress of the disease proved unavailiug. The
youth, strength, and unimpaired constitution of his
royal highness had already succumbed to the
wearying and weakening malady of the previous
week, and the Prince sank gradually till the last
Ile= of hope had departed, and he died tranquilly
t the hour already stated.
The intense grief of the Queen and of the members
the Royal Family who surrounded the deathbed
His Royal Highness will be shared by the
.eartfelt sympathy of millions of Englishmen and
lwomen, and every feeling of esteem and affection
lwhich the benignant reign of Her Majesty has im-
ulanted in her people will be called forth to give
xpresaion to the condolence which they will offer
this moment of severe domestic sorrow.

A telegram was forwarded from Windsor Castle
immediately after the death of His Royal Highnee
to the Emperor and Empress of the French at Paris,
who during the day, had made several inquiries
respecting the state of the Prince's health; to the
Emperor of Austria, the Duke of Saxe Coburg, and
King and Crown Prince of Prussia, who had also
, repeated inquiries by telegraph:
SUNDAY'S TELEGRAMS.

Losoox, Sunday Night.—lt is no exaggeration to
• that the Prince s death has crested a most
Id sensation, and more the event is considered

all its bearings the greater is the conviction that
lotus is national. So little uneasiness had been
created by his illness that several leading members
of the aristocracy and persons connected with the
Court who were absent from London were perfectly
astonished on learning that the Prince was in
danger.
It was, however, known in well-informed quarters
in Lonilan on Friday evening that • aisle had
'arrived, and that fears were entertained for his
life.

The article in the Time., confirmed these fears and
'prepared the public mind fur a fatal issue. Owing
to the lateness of the hour at which the Prince's
leath transpired it was only known at the clubs,
Ad, although anticipated, produced a marked sense-
Ition and the deepest expressions of sympathy for
Her Majesty. The decided feeling was that the
serious nature of the loss could at present scarcely
be realised. At midnight the tolling of the great
' of St. Paul's announced that the Prince had
' away. . .

-- . -
On Sunday everywhere the event was the ab-
sorbing subject and the theme of every sermon.
Mourning is already worn, and every class unites
in sentiments of regret and sympathy.
A London Gazette Extraordinary, published at 7
p.m.. contains the following :
" WINDSOR, 15th Dec.—On Saturday night, the 14th
lent., at 10 minutes before 11 o'clock, his Royal High-
the Prince Consort departed this life at Windsor
le, to the inexpressible grief of Her Majesty and of
. the Royal family."
The Queen, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,
their Royal Highnesses the Princess Alice and the
IPrirmess Ilelena, and their serene Highnesses the Prince
and Princess of leiningen were all present when His
Royal Highness est:deed.
The death of this illustrious Prince will be deeply
2ourned by all Her Majesty's faithful and attached sub-
puts as an irreparable lose to Her Majesty, the royal
family, and the nation.
No further bulletin has been issued, but it is known
yat Her Majesty bore her bereavement with great forti-
nide, and is as well as could be expected at such •
imoment.

It may, perhaps, be needless to add that the anxiety
,in foreign Courts for information am to the state of the
'Prima has been very great.
