DEATH OF MR. CHARLES W. CAVENDISH -- The inhabitants of Ryde, and especially the congregation of St. Mary's, deeply regret the death of a gentleman who has resided for many years in the town and was very much respected by all classes of the community --- we allude to Mr. C.W. Cavendish, who died at his residence, Charlemont, Spencer-road, on the 21st inst., after a short illness. He caught a severe cold attack of congestion of the lungs, and, notwithstanding the skillful treatment of his medical adviser, Dr. A. Davey, he succumbed to the illness on Sunday last. Mr. Cavendish was a genlteman of singular refinement and culture, and passionately fond of music. He was a staunch Catholic, and as the secretary of the "Society for the Propagation of the Faith," his name was a familiar one to Catholics in all parts of England. We need hardly say the deepest sympathy is felt with Mrs. Cavendish and the family in the sudden and unexpected bereavement which has clouded a season of the year most associated with pleasant family re-unions and gathering friends.[4][5][6]
