The Prince and Princess of Wales on Thursday attended "Com-

mencement" at Cambridge amidst strong demonstrations of pleasure. When the honorary degrees were granted in the Senate the undergraduates as usual availed themselves of the opportunity of declaring their sentiments, cheering the Princess most lustily, and Denmark, and Lord Palmerston, but groaning heavily for Austria and Earl Russell, who they appeared to think solely responsible for the conduct of the Cabinet of which Lord Pal- merston is the head. Hearty cheers were given for the Queen and the Prince, but the idea of the day was to honour everything Danish. It is noticed that the cheers for the South were "not unanimous," Cambridge being more doubtful than Oxford whether a wish to maintain slavery can justify revolution. The/etc was to last three days.
