Distress in Mr. Clay's Family.—It is announced in the Alton Telegraph, by one just returned from Lexington, Ky., that the domestic afflictions of the distinguished statesman, Henry Clay, have lately been greatly added to, by his youngest son's becoming deranged. This makes a second son that is now an inmate of the Lunatic Asylum; and we deeply sympathise with both Mr. Clay and his wife in this hour of their distress.—We are also informed from the same source, that Mr. Clay has become a communicant in the Episcopal Church in Lexington. In the consolation of the religion he has embraced may he find the means of reconciliation to those domestic afflictions which are beyond his control.
