Illness Of Mr.. Charles Keau.

The Liverpool Daily Post of the SOth ultimo,
records the sudden and severe illness OF the emf
nent tragedian, Mr.. Charles Kean. Mr.. Kean
was announced to play King Lear at the new
Prince OF Wales Theatre in that city, on the
night of the 29th; but on the murnlng of that
day he was prostrated by an attack of heart dis
ease, rendering 1t impossible for him to appear.
Bills were promptly circulated, announcing the
abrupt termination of his engagement. and
stating that he would never again aOpear before
a Liverpool audience. The certificate of w. ri,
Maniford, surgeon, was also published, KinG
Lear was acted in the evening, Mr.. Cathcart
supplying the place of Mr.. Keau. So dangerous
an illness, affecting man so far advanced in
years as Mr. Kean, cannot but inspire the live
Hest anxiety. We trust, however, speedily to
hear good news OF this famous actor and most
eslimable gentleman.

state OF his palate and the confused state of
his judgment, after a course of onions, wal

compounds with the names of which we are
