SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR E. EAST, BART.—We
have to announce the sudden decease of Sir E. Hyde
East, Bart., at his residence, Sherwood-lodge, Battersea,
in his 83d year. Sir Edward was one of the memben of
her Majesty's Privy Council, and Indian lIIISCSAOT. He
went to town on Thursday, returned apparently ia hie
usual health, and retired early to rest, aft,r partaking of a
very hearty supper. It had been the deceased's invariable
custom to throw open his chamber door at seven o'clock
every morning, that the fire might be lighted. At eight
o'clock on Fnday morning the door was not open as usual,
and the domestics, after knocking for some time and re-
ceiving no reply, became alarmed, forced the door, sad
discovered Sir Edward lying in bed, dead and cold. He
appeared to have eppired without a struggle. The neces-
sary information has been forwarded to Mr. Carter, the
coroner for East Surrey. Sir E. East was extremely
charitable, and his loss will be much felt by the poor of
Battersea.
