Health of Mr. Clay.
The New York Express of Friday says:
Mr. Clay, we hear from Washington, is sinking rapidly. Some days there were some symptoms of renewed strength, but these, alas, are now giving way to the surest indication of an early dissolution, and of this we hear, none are more conscious than the venerable patriot and statesman himself.
Mr. Clay has telegraphed to his son to come on to him on account of his continued feebleness.—He has two sons, one living in Kentucky, and the other one in St. Louis.
