From the New York Tribunel
Prince Albert, the husband Of Queen Victoria, whose
death is announced, was born az Rosenau, on the Goth
of August, 1919. He was the second son of Ernest
Duke Of SAKE COburg GOtha, under whose immediate
personal superintendent he received an admirable edu-
cation which he completed by attending the University
| Of Bonn, during thres academical sessions. In July, 1898,
he visited England, in company with Leopold, King OF
Belgium, and spent some time at the court of the youthful
Queen, and in November, 1889, it was formally announced
to the priyy council, by the Queen, that she intended TO
form a matrimonial alliance with Prince Albert The
secret had long been public property, but was kept in
suspense by the decorous contradictions Of the ministerial
Journals. The marriage was solemnized February 10,
1910. For the purpose Of rendering him perfectly inde-
pendent, the munihcent personal allowance Of Sl500O0
a year was made to him by Parliament. Besides which,
he was a field marshal, knight Of the Garter, and other
orders, colonel of the Fusilier Guards, and he d a number
Of other lucrative or honorary appointments. He was a
man Of refined taste, and an accomplished musician and
draughtsnan. Forbidden by his position TO interfere in
politics, he occupied himself with experimenting the
education of his children.
The progress Of the arts and sciences, and general
phila thropic subjects such as the +" dwellings of the
gagged his attention. He was patron and president of
numerous charitable institutions, in which he took a per-
sonal interest. As president of the Society Of Arts, he
was the chief promoter Of the great exhibition of 1851.
Similar exhibitions, confined to native productions, had
been long hid in Paris, Brussels, and even in Manehes-
ter, and other towns Of England. But when the idea Of
holding one in London was suggested to Prince Albert,
he readily accepted it, and zealously CO. perated in the
scheme Of extending it to the whole world. The popu-
iarity which, for a long time, he had enjoyed with all
classes, was for Il brief space overloaded in 1853, when
rumOrs were current among the opponents of govern
ment, that the prince took an undue interest in political
affairs, and even held communications with some German
courts, which were p%rejudicial to English interests, so
that the ministers :aOught il necessary to clear up all
doubts, by an explicit denial Of the report from their
places in Parliament. He was noted, in a country Of
scientific agriculturists, for the spirit with which he car
red ont agricultural experiments, and his farming It OK
has been frequent & exhibited and gained prizes. AS a
patron Of art, Prince Albert has shown himself partie-
