Death of Prince Albert--the difficulty between Begland and the United States.

Our advices from the North are to the 24th inst.The papers contain the latest news from Europe, received on the 22d. The death of Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, is announced among the prominent items of intelligence. He died after a brief illness, of gastric fever, and the royal house of England is suddenly plunged into affliction, which temporarily diverts attention from affairs on this side of the Atlantic. We have, however, a statement that the British merchant marine had been warned by the Government that war with the United States was imminent. Further developments of the policy of the Lincoln Cabinet in regard to Messrs. Mason and Slidell, will be found in the telegraphic column.
