DEATH OP THE REVEREND PROFERSOR GROVE.

We regret to announce the death of the Bev. John Grote,
8.D., Professor of Moral Philosophy at Cambridge Driver
sity, and one of the senior fellows of Trinity Oolkige. He
died at the vicarage at Trumpington on Tuesday last.
The deceased, who was 53 years of age, graduated at
Trinity College in 1835, the year when Dr. Cotterill,
Bishop of Graham's Town, was senior wrangler, Mr.
Goulburn being second wrangler, second classic, and
second Smith'. (mathematical) prizeman. Mr. Grote was
second senior optime in the mathematical tripos (bracketed)
and sixth classic. He was soon after elected fellow of his
college, and continued so to his death, when he was fourth
in seniority. He was elected to the professorship of
moral philosophy in 1855, on the resignation of the late
Dr. Whewell, and occupied the chair to his death. In
1847 he was presented by the society of Trinity College to
the vicarage of Tirumpington, and by the inhabitants of
this place be was deeply beloved; indeed his cordial and
genial nature and open-hearted and open-handed ben.-
' volence endeared him to all ranks and circles. The
immediate cause of death was an affection of the lungs,
caused by a severe attack of diphtheria experienced some
three months ago. Mr. Grote was a younger brother of
the illustrious historian of Greece.
THE LATE PRINCE Di CONDE. —The funeral, at
Sydney, of this young prince, the eldest son of the Due
d Aumale, was attended by the Governor of New South
Wales, the Premier, and other high functionaries, Sir W.
Wiseman, and aloes of the army and navy in full
uniform. The shops of Sydney generally were closed, the
flags of the consulates kilt-masted, the streets thronged.
The prince was on a tour through Aertralasia and the East,
and appeared to improve in health while at Sydney, not-
withstanding a cold caught on a fishing excursion. But he
was naturally of a weakly constitution, and the news of
the death of his grandmother, Marie Amelie, ex-Queen of
the French, produced a physical prostration from which be
never recovered. On the morning after the funeral the
coffin containing the body of the prince embalmed, and a
small silver box in which his heart was enclosed, were
placed in a cue and removed on board the ship Sea Star
for England. The prince was in his 21st year.
