Died suddenly, at Ealing, on Saturday, Edward Percy Sinnett, Esq., of 9, Ehrenberg-terrace, Regent's Park, aged 47, an able and much-respected member of the metropolitan 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 unwilling 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 having 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 deserved 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, readered 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 devoted 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 deceased 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."  THE LATE CHILD MURDER AND MUTILATION AT Mimi-Tux
