One out of many ways:
mat = Array[a, {3, 3}]
{{a[1, 1], a[1, 2], a[1, 3]}, {a[2, 1], a[2, 2],
a[2, 3]}, {a[3, 1], a[3, 2], a[3, 3]}}
Transpose[(Drop[RotateLeft[#] - #, -1] & ) /@
Transpose[mat]]
{{a[2, 1] - a[1, 1], a[2, 2] - a[1, 2],
a[2, 3] - a[1, 3]}, {a[3, 1] - a[2, 1],
a[3, 2] - a[2, 2], a[3, 3] - a[2, 3]}}
