TUE NEWCASTLE FAMILY.

We regret to

oounty haysi been received' in town ttom (:lo ober
Pork, the seat of. the Duke of NrwcAsrl. its
Nottinghamshire. The vOwle of dim Nutiie Fa;:'
roily are seriously indisposed, Itht.,l the express I"
ceived yesterday left little hope s. the recovery of
the Duke and Duchess and one of their ;laugh.
tens. Threel'hysicians have .been called in troth
bondon---and yesterday. a 'mirth, vii. &iit J,lmes
Me'Gregor, left town to attend them Th,l4.
some extensive lakes hi the neighbourhood, trom
which some large fish-punds, near the house, arc
lea, one of which has been lately emptied, noel tha
soil from the bottom thrown up and spie,4l upon
the baVts. It is supposed that the'exhalation from
the agitation of this ntucl arid water has tainted
atmosphere, and produced the disease with which
this Noble Family is unfortunately afflicted.—.

(ANOTHER ACCOUNT.)

TYPHUS FEVEL-Our Readers are aware, that.
this disorder is prevalent in sonic parts of tl.e
country. We have to mention a lamentable
case of it. 'A west part of the Noble Family at
Clamber Park, Nottinghamshire, are soffk ring by
it; some, it is feared, have by this time become
its victims. The Duke of Newcastle was in greac
danger on Tuesday ; his confidential solicitor
was sent for from London. Severd of the child.
ren were also very ill. The Duchess is tar aci.
vanced in her ninth pregnancy, bat w; have had
the satisfaction to hear, that the disorder had not
fallen upon her. Marty of the servants,are M. fit
other parts, the disorder is chiefly prevalent in
the poorer classes, whose want of 000rishmeot
has rendered them liable to it.—Plorning Herald.)
