THE LATE BRO . H . N . GOULTY .

The announcement of the death of our brother , H . N . Goulty , on the 7 tb inst ., has caused quite a gloom throughout Brighton , so universally known , respected , and beloved was- he . Although his life was so brief , he had by his energy and ability crowded into it public and private services , the number and extent of which would have done credit to men of twice his age . The deceased

brother was the son of the Rev . J . N . Goulty , for many years a well-known and esteemed Noncomforrnist minister in Brighton , who was a nephew of the immortal Lord Nelson . Bro . Horatio Nelson Goulty represented for many years the Park Ward in the Town Council . He was also a most painstaking member of the watch and other committee . His ability as an architect was of no

common order , as many of the public buildings of Brighton prove . The chapels of the Extra Mural Cemetery , the Norfolk Hotel , the Grand Concert Hall , the Turkish Bath , Messrs . Harrington and Son's and other buildings , and the Head-quarters of the 1 st Susses Artillery , with the chapel and schools at Oliftonville , and the national schools at Hurstperpoint , and many other

minor public establishments will ever remain as public marks of his skill . For several years he was connected as consulting architect and surveyor with several most successful and flourishing building societies . He was a member of the Council and one of the original promoters of the Children ' s Hospital , a charitable institution in which he took the deepest interest ; also one of the

Local Secretaries of the Local School of Art . His introduction into Freemasonry took place in December , 1863 , in the Mount Lebanon Lodge , No . 73 , the then W . M ., Bro . F . Walters , having performed the ceremony of initiation . He was also a member of the Mount Lebanon Chapter , No . 73 , and a member of the Yarborough Lodge , 811 , in which lodge he had served the office of Secretary , and , at the time of his death , was

the J . Deacon . He was also a member ofthe Order of Knight Templars . In Mark Masonry he was well known . A member of the Southwark Mark Lodge , 22 , and of the Royal Sussex Lodge , No . 75 , of which lodge he was the AV . M . for the second year ; and , at the last meeting of the Grand Lodge of Mark Masters held in June last , the R . W . G . M . gave him the honourable position of Grand

Snpt . of Works . As a father , sun , or friend , he was universally esteemed by all who knew him . The gentleness of his manner , his equanimity of temper , his kind and charitable disposition , his marked ability , and the thorough earnest and talented manner with which he conducted every occupation of his life , makes his loss most keenly felt

and most deeply i-egretted . The funeral took place on Tuestday last , at the Extra Mural Cemetery , Lewes-road , and was attended by a large concourse of persons , representing the various public bodies with which the deceased was connected . The funeral service was conducted in the most solemn and deeply impressive manner by the Rev . S . Smith , of

Enfield , near London , who was a personal friend of the deceased . Mr . Smith addressed the assembly , and commented briefly , but in a most touching manner , on the large assemblage who had spontaneously come a long distance to pay a last tribute of respect to him they had knoYJD . and -worked with . Men of all creeds and opinions , socially and politically , Masons , and

Sundayschool teachers and pupils , all coining iu a simple manner to do honour to him to whom they considered it was due . The procession from the chapel to the grave was a touching sight , and there could not have been a less number present than 800 to 1 , 000 persons .
