The funeral of Arthur SORELL took place from his residence Indiantown (St. John) yesterday afternoon. The pall bearers were R.A. GREGORY, John TAPLEY, Capt. John STEVENS, John WISHART, James T. KENNEDY, Edwin FISHER. The deceased was the son and last survivor of Capt. Nicholas SORELL of Second West India Infantry. Capt. Sorell was for many years Secretary to the Duke of York. He, with a brother of the deceased, who was presented with a commission in recognition of his father's service, died at the Island of New Providence, West Indies. The deceased was a cousin of Baron Sir Osborne GIBBS of New Zealand whose mother was his father's sister. Another cousin was at one time the Consul General of Italy and another, the Governor of Tasmania, then a penal colony. Mr. Sorell was born at Bedford, England in 1811 and educated at that place. At quite an early age he entered the establishment of Wm Clowes & Son, eminent printers and publishers of London, where he remained about 40 years. While there his brother, late Charles SORELL was engaged to accompany Prof. DARWIN on his cruise in H.M.S. "Beagle", but instead, he came to St. John and engaged in the timber business, to which shipbuilding was afterwards added. In 1876, the deceased with his son, A.C.F. SORELL, came to New Brunswick at the solicitation of their brother and on his death, succeeded to his estate, he being childless. Arthur Sorell, the only survivor to his father's family, had but one son, A.C.F. SORELL, who is the last of the race. He was a man of large but unpretentious charity and of a retiring disposition, one of whose chief delight was found in his family circle and in his library. There were few branches of science with which he was not familiar. He was a master of several languages and spent many of his leaisure hours at the Portland Public Library.
