DEATH OF AUGUSTUS FREDERICK GUEST, ESQ.---
Our obiturary of this week contains a record of the death of Augustus Frederick Guest, Esq., fourth son of the late Sir John Guest, Bart., of Canford Manor, near Poole. The deceased had only been ill a short time, and his death --- which arose from congestion of the lungs --- was quite unexpected to the members of his family. He had arrived at Canford on the previous Saturday from London, somewhat indisposed and depressed in spirits, but his illness was not such as to cause any apprehension of danger, and we believe it was not until Wednesday that serious fears were entertained of his recovery. His death, which took place on Friday, may therefore be regarded as of a somewhat sudden character. Deceased was of a generous disposition, and was greatly esteemed and respected in every circle of society in which he moved. His death is therefore deeply deplored, not only by the members of his own family and the household, to whom he had endeared himself by his kindness and affability, but also by all who were fortunate enough to have made his acquaintance. The funeral, which was of a strictly private character, took place on Wednesday, at Canford. His remains were interred in the manor vault at the Canford Cemetery. The Hon. and Rev. Walter Ponsonby read the burial service in a very impressive manner. The pall was borne by the principal tenants of the estate. A number of persons assembled to witness the interment, and all appeared to lament the loss of so promising a young gentleman as deceased, whose many excellencies had rendered him a general favorite.
