EAST INDIA HOUSE.

Yesterday a special adjourned Court was held at the
East India House for the purpose of further considering the
papers relating to Sinde.
The Minutes of the last Court having been read,
The Chairman, Mr. COMER, said, the Court of Directors
deplored the course pursued by the Governor-General of
India, in relation to the Ameers of Sinde. But they were
satisfied that he had acted conscientiously ; and it was the
intention of the Court of Directors to give every aid and pro-
tection to the Ameers, against whom no charges had been.
established. He thought it would be the better course to ad-
journ the Court without discussing the resolutions proposed
at the last meeting.
. .

After this impoitant statement, a discussion upon the point
of order ensued, in which the Chairman gave way, and admitted
that the resolutions proposed at the last Court might now be
discussed.

(Want of space prevents us giving the speeches to-day.)
No other business was transacted, and the Court adjourned.

DEATHS IN ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL:--011 Tues-
day Mr. Payne held no fewer than three inquests at St.
Thomas's Hospital. The first was that of Joseph Freeman,
aged 42 years, a drayman in the employ of Messrs. Barclay,
Perkins, and Co. On Friday, the 9th instant, deceased was
riding on the shafts of a waggon, loaded with empty casks,
over London-bridge, when, in his endeavours to jump off, he
slipped and fell beneath the wheels, which passed over his
left leg, and fractured it in a dreadful manner. He was con-
veyed to the hospital, where the limb was amputated. He
survived until Sunday morning last, when he died, the house
surgeon said, from exhaustion. The second case was that of
Elizabeth Callow, aged 42 years, who resided at No. 2, Queen
Elizabeth's Cottages, Greenwich. On Sunday, the 11th inst.,
deceased was in the act of assisting her aged bedridden pa-
rent, and whilst so doing her clothes by some means caught
fire, and she was so much burnt that she expired on the 18th
instant. The third case was that of Emily Marshall, aged
16 months, the daughter of James Marshall, of No. 6, Bear-
lane, Gravel-lane, Southwark, who was so dreadfully scalded
by the upsetting of hot water over the upper part of her
body, that she died in a short time after her admission to the
hospital. The jury returned a verdict in each case of—
" Accidental death."

STREET-CLEANSING ENGINE.—AR engine for
sweeping the streets has been tried for some days in Cheap-
side and Fleet-street, and the result appears to be quite satis-
factory. An extract from the prospectus, published by the
patentee, will explain its properties and its merits ; and, as
far as this goes, those who saw its performance yesterday
must admit the truth of what is asserted ;—" The engine is
simply and effectively constructed; is enclosed in a case open
only at the bottom part of it, to enable the brushes to come
in contact with the street .or road, se that neither dust nor dirt
can escape from it. The mud or dirt is discharged into a
receiving truck travelling in front of the engine ; the truck
when filled is easily detached and drawn away to the laystall
or shute ; another empty truck is instantly attached to the
engine, which proceeds on its work without the delay of
taking it from the street with the receiver when it requires
to be emptied : thus the engine remains constantly at its work.
This is a distinguished ,11144 Plost..4oPortant feature of this
engine."
