THE DEATH OF SIR DONALD McLEAN.
Further Particulars. [per press agency.] Napier, Jan. G. Sir Donald McLean liad been for some few days before bis death so ill that recovery was considered out of the question ; but by request of the family the local journals abstained from saying anything about it, as he was in the habit of looking at the newspapers,’ and anything said in them about his illness waa a source of vexation to him. On {Sunday his life was quite despaired of. He rallied,’ however, considerably, and to a very early hour yesterday it was thought possible that the acute attack of his disease might pass over for a time ; but about five in the morning the attack look a sudden turn for the worse,- and,at rtirie another turn, which rendered all hopeful anticipations vain from that time to ten minutes to four in the afternobU, when' he died. He was almost unconscious. .Now grid then he muttered some Words in Gaelic, of a tenor showing that the min'd occupied thoughts suitable to the imminence of his entrance into a future state. His death has created a profound sensation here among all classes.
