If you mean the line "Oh that this to that solid flesh should melt! That it should come to this, but two months dead" the line as a whole means something like "I can't believe it- Dad's been dead for only 2 months- not even! but Mom's still marrying my uncle! She is so mean!" The "it should come to this" part is pretty straightforward: the "it" just means things generally and "come to this" means turn out this way, so "that it should come to this", means "that it should turn out this way".

From Hamlet what does when sorrows come they come not single spies but in battalions mean?
Spies come one at a time. When you are attacked by a battalion of soldiers a whole bunch come at once. Claudius means that their troubles are crowding in on them. He lists, if you continue reading this passage, five troubles that they have at this point. Some scholars think he is also thinking of a sixth--that Gertrude is not as affectionate to him as she used to be, because of what Hamlet said in the closet scene.
