WE regret to announce the death of Bro . Harry Joseph Cross , the Manager for Messrs . Spiers and Pond in connection with the catering of the new Palace Steamers , who expired suddenly on the 23 rd ult ., at 80 Charleswood Street , S . W . Bro . Cross had just finished a most successful season

with the steamers , on board which he was well known for his courtesy and bonhomie , but his arduous duties probably hastened : his decease , for he was not of a very robust constitution . The immediate cause of death was heart disease .

r "pHEdeath is announced of Bro . Alfred William Beckham , JL which took p lace very suddenly at his residence in Ebury Street , Pimlico . Bro . 'Beckham , who was sixty-four years of age , was formerly a member of the Vestry , but retired after a few years . Nevertheless he did not fail to

continue to take a close interest in everything that affected the , district . Bnt it was in the promotion of' Masonic principles that much of his time was spent , and by all Masons in his locality his death will be greatly regretted . Perhaps to the furtherance of those principles he devoted

more time and energy than any other in the district . About twenty-five years ago he founded the Eccleston Lodge , and became its first Secretary , continuing in that office until his decease . Two or three years ago he founded the Piccadilly

Lodge , and here again he was the first Secretary , continuing to hold that position until the last . By the members of both Lodges he was held in high esteem . Bro . Beckham was a Life ! Governor of the Boys School , the Girls School , and the Benevolent Institution , says the "Chelsea Mail . "

nnHE death of M . Alphonse Fortune Lamette , which took JL place after a long and painful illness , though his end was very peaceful , on Thursday , 23 rd ult ., at his residence , Dudley Mansions , Brunswick Place , Hove , will be regretted by a large circle of friends . Born in Normandy sixty-three

years ago , the deceased came to Brighton in 186 4 , and had resided there ever since . He built up a very extensive business as a boarding-house keeper in Hove , and his many excellent qualities gathered round him a host of friends . A

devoted Freemason , he was one of the best known members of the Order in the county . He assisted in founding several Lodges in Brighton , was a member of many others , and also connected with several of the most prominent Lodges in London . At the time of his demise he was the W . M . of one

of his Lodges , and had also passed the chair in the Adur , Stanford , Pelham , Lewes Mark , and Royal Clarence Lodges . He had also been W . M . of the Royal Sussex Mark Lodge . A liberal subscriber to various Masonic charities for many years , he was Charity Steward of the Stanford Lodge in

connection with the Sussex Provincial charities , Treasurer of the Royal Sussex Conclave , No . 10 , of the Order of the Secret Monitor , and also of the Royal Sussex Mark Lodge and of the Brightelmstone Council , No . 15 . The late Bro . Lamette was for several years one of the Overseers of Hove ,

and was also a member of the Sussex Archaeological Society , but probably he will be best remembered , says the " Sussex Daily News , " from the prominent part he took a few years ago in connection with the French Reformed Church ,

Regency Square . For a considerable period he was Hon . Secretary and Treasurer of the Church , and discharged the delicate duties which fell to him in the course of the dispute with great courtesy , tact , and ability . He leaves a widow to mourn " his loss .
