(!Middlesex Hospital, where, from similar causes, a
disturbance had taken place. Such were the habits
and conduct of the Duke of Cambridge as a member!
of the Royal Family, and as a public man. In private
life he was equally irreproachable ; and, though many
members of our Royal Family have earned and continuel
to deserve a great amount of popular esteem, yet thati
'Prince must indeed be considered fortunate who,.
!leaves behind him a fairer reputation than the Duke!
of Cambridge.

We are informed that his Royal Highness was at-
tacked by indisposition on the 13th ult., with cramp
in the stomach, but after the severity of the attack
had passed away all danger was thought to be over.
The Royal Duke was attended by Dr. Francis Haw
pins, Dr. Bright, Dr. Watson, Mr. Keate, and Mr.
J. Illiogworth, and it was judged up to within the
last few days that he would recover, although suffer-
ing from loss of appetite and much debility. Wt
deeply regret to say that the Royal Duke recentl3
became so debilitated and prostrated, not being able
to sustain any nourishing substance on his stomach
chat he continued to sink rapidly during the last 24
hours,until at the above-mentioned hour hisßoyal High-
ness expired without a struggle. Her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Cambridge, who during her royal
husband's illness has evinced the greatest solicitude,
was at the bedside of his Royal Highness up to the
minute of his dissolution, and it is needless to observt
in a very distressed state of mind at her irreparablt
bereavement. His Royal Highness Prince George
of Cambridge, on leave of absence from his militar3
duties in Ireland, was also present at the death of his
Royal Highness. The only member of the late Royal
Duke's family absent from this country (but to whom
intelligence of his serious illness was forwarded last
week), was his eldest daughter the Princess Augusta
at present with her husband, the Hereditary; Grand
Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz in Germany.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, or
receipt of the mournful information, was most pain
fully affected, although partially prepared for air
fatal result of her brother's illness, having been witl
him at Cambridge House in the early part of the day.
It is difficult to say what was the positive cause of
death ; gout, and a complication of disorders of the
stomach, is however stated to be the cause. _ _

A royal messenger was dispatched to Lord Join
Russell with the sad news shortly after the Roya
Duke expired ; also to Viscount Palmerston, by whom
A Cabinet courier was to be sent to the King of
flanover, at Hanover • the King of the Belgians, th(
Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and
the other connexions of the Royal Family in Germany.
