TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

We, the Warden, Masters, and Scholars of the Univer-
sity of Durham, beg permission to approach your Majesty
with the expression of our sincere condolence, under the
bereavement which you have suffered by the lamented death
of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort.

In common with the whole nation, we deplore the loss of
his distinguished talents and domestic virtues ; and can thus
feel more sensibly the far severer affliction which has be-
fallen your Majesty ; yet we trust that your sorrow may
receive alleviation from the affectionate attachment of your
children, and from the deep sympathy which has drawn to
you the hearts of all your devoted subjects.
It is our earnest prayer to Almighty God that, in this
time of distress, He will comfort your Majesty with resig-
nation and Christian hope, and continue to be your guide
and support in the discharge of the high duties of your
Royal station.

Given at our House of Convocation, this 28th day a
January, 1862.
