THE CAUSE OF THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE VISIT
OF THE COURT TO CLAREMONT.—Arrangements had
been made for the departure of the Court from
Windsor to Claremont on Friday last, where her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert (who would have ken accom-
panied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales
and the Princess Royal) were to have remained
about a week or ten days, in order that his Royal
Highness Prince Albert might have enjoyed some ex-
cellent shooting, which is to be obtained upon the
well-stocked preserves of his Majesty the King of
the Belgians. The pheasants, and indeed every de-
scription of game at Claremont, have been most care-
fully and expressly preserved for his Royal Highness
and the distinguished friends of the Prince. Some
severe cases of scarletina having manifested themselves
a short time since in the immediate vicinity of Clare-
mont, a gentleman from Windsor, who was on a visit
in that neighbourhood, with a loyal regard for th
health of the Sovereign, her illustrious consort, and
the Royal infants, lost no time in communicating this
fact to the Lord Chamberlain. The necessary inqui-
ries were then instituted, and the Royal visit to Clare-
mont was promptly advised to be postponed. Those
cases of scarletina alluded to have at length been
found to have resolved themselves into typhus, and
her Majesty. has, therefore, very judiciously aban • '
doned- the intention of proceeding to Claremont fur the
present.
