CAMBRIDGE, Sun'mt.

The news of the decease of his Royal Highaess das' oast a feeling of universal gloom over all classes here, more profound, if possible, than in other 1 places in the kingdom, by reason of his intimate. relationship with the University as its Chancellor, the residence of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales amongst us, and the actual presence of Prince Consort here lust before he wasi seized with the illness which has ended so lament bly. The idea that anything alarming was to be kpprehended was first created here on Saturday morning, when it became known that the Prince of Wales had been summoned to London by tele irram the night before- The telegram arrived at Madingley about nine o'clock, and his Royal High ness hastened to Cambridge, where a special train! was made up under the direction of Mr. Pisher, station-master here. In this his Royal Highness started for London shortly before twelve, attendei by the Hon.

General Bruce and Major Teeadale. The Prince and suite crossed London in a private carriage to the Waterloo station, and proceeded thence in a special train, which was in waiting, to Windsor. Mr. Pisher had charge of the Eastern Countiea tram to London- On Sa turday evening it was generally rumoured here that his Highness the Prince Consort wasj no more, but hopes revived on the arrival of the evening papers containing the intelligence that thfl unfavourable svmDfcoms had disappeared. All doubts were set at reBt, however, and all hope dis pelled this mdrning by the Arrival, at about nine o'clock, of a telegram that all was over, and.

his was speedily followed by a second, with further particulars. This letter arrived at 10.40, but it was necessarily some tim8 before the news spread, and in some of the churches of the town the recovery of His Highness was prayed for, but at one or two o'clock the melancholy announce-. ment of hia death was made. The bolls of the University (St. Mary's) and other churches the commenced tolling half-minute time, and have con tinued to do so during the interval between the services, but even taen, so unwilling were tne Wass of the people to believe that the melancholy news was true, that they hardly would believe it.

In the University Church this iafternoon profound emotion was evident, when the officiating minister, the Rev.O.D. Caiue College (select preacher for the month), omitted the name of his late Royal Highness from the prayer for the Royal Family, and (as Chancellor) from that the blessing of the Almighty on "thisour body ti.e the University), in which prayer the various! dignitaries of the University areenumerated lhe rev. divine took his text (the sermon being part of course) from John v. 23, and after treating the subject generally, said it might be taken as a ground of comfort in trial, and then, in allusion to the decease of his Royal Highness the Prince Chancellor- Reflections such as those, he! said, chimed in with the circumstances nowi jaffecting the land, but more particularly their academic body. The tidings which had that day reached them, and had doubtless, over the whole country tidings which would carry grief to every feeling heart, and which, telling the University of the loss of their Royal and honoured Chancellor, must touch them in an especial manner those tidings called them to earnest prayer that their Almighty Saviour might now reveal to our afflicted and beloved Queen the full comfort of His love and grace.

None but those who, like Her Majesty, had been called to endure the bitterest of separations, can tell the poignant sorrow ot which Bhe now experiences tne nrst sharp cutting strokes. But ail could tell a mea sure of her woe all could picture to themselves the desolation she must feel, who so lately lost revered mother, and now has been bereft of a worthy husband. Oh said the rev. preacher, We will surely pray for her and her house that He who has smitten will vouchsafe to bind that who hath wounded will himself heal that He who has bidden the tears of the Queen and htr family to flow, and their hearts to mourn, will Igently dry their tears, and in hia own time and due measure assuage their sorrow with the words His dear son, Let not your hearts be troubled- Called to give up one whom they have loved, andj a nation has honoured, may the present woe be mitigated by a hope of a glorious future, when the bronlise of the Lord Jesus, their Saviour and ours. shall be fulfilled at the re-union of all his faithful ones.
