India, who will leave England at the latter end of the
Heutta early in September.
Died suddenly, at Ealing, on Saturday, Alward
Percy Sinnett, Esq:, of 9, Ehrenberg-terrace, Regent's Park,
aged 47, an able and much-respected member of the metro-
politan newspaper press. For some weeks past Mr. Sinnett
had shown symptoms of declining health, which indicated a
gradual breaking-up of the constitution. Though most
zealous and anxious in the discharge of his duties, and un-
willing to quail under a debility which he fondly believed to
be only temporary, he was nevertheless persuaded to abstain
from active exertion, and especially from night employment,
and it was hoped, even by his family and friends scarcely less
than by himself, that retirement, change of scene, and fresh
air, were exercising over him a restorative influence, when,
suddenly, the lamp of life went out, an apoplectic shock hav-
ing been the immediate cause of death. He has gone to the
grave early, but few have descended into it more fully in
possession of the respect and affection of friends and family
connections, and none, perhaps, ever more thoroughly de-
served them. In addition to invaluable qualities of head and
heart, Mr. Sinnett's learning, extensive information, and
professional experience as a public writer and Parliamentary
reporter, rendered his services an acquisition to a public
journal. His knowledge of the modern languages, as well as
of classical literature, gave him great advantages, of which
he never failed to make an effective use. For some time he
held high and honourable appointments upon several eminent
continental journals; but the last years of his life were de-
voted to the London press. He ended his unostentatious,
though not inglorious, career upon the Morning Herald ; and
the proprietor of that journal joins the colleagues of the de-
ceased in offering to his memory a tribute of sincere regard
and unaffected regret :
" No sculptured trophies may his tomb adorn,
But the heart will pour its incense there."

HUNGERFORD SUSPENSION-BRIDGE.—On Thursday
morning the workmen commenced placing the tackling by
which the chains are to be carried over the piers, and before
two o'clock, had succeeded in carrying a length of Smith's
patent wire rope from the platform on the Surrey side, over
the first pier to the Dolphin, in the centre of the river. At
an early hour this morning the line was carried over to
the pier on the Hungerford side, and continued to the shore.
When eight lengths of this rope shall have been carried
across the river, arrangements will be made to convey over
the massive and elegant iron chains, and the nhole is ex-
pected to be completed in about two months.
