	Lately aged 88, Mr Domenico Corri, the celebrated musical composer. During the last six years a rapid decay of nature had been visible, and latterly fits of insanity had frequently occurred. He was to have been removed to the care of a doctor experienced in similar cases when death removed him from the world. He expired suddenly, when apparently in the best health and spirits, it is supposed in a apoplectic fit. He had been remarkable abstemious man, and had no illness except the gout during his long life. He was a pupil of Porpora, at Naples from 1763 till his preceptors death in 1774, and in the same year produced an opera entitled "Alessandro nell Indie" but his name was not sufficiently blazoned to give his performance much eclat, or indeed to excite the attention it deserved. He settled in Edinburgh, but returned to London in 1788. In that year he published three volumes of English songs with original accompaniments, a work which was moderately successful. In 1796 he entered into partnership with Mr John Louis Dussek, the in Haymarket, and they were appointed music sellers to the Royal Family. Mr Corri published a great deal of his own music; but the work by which he is chiefly known in England are his opera of "The Travellers", the Bird Song in "The Cabinet" and a treatise on singing in two vols. called "The Singers Preceptor". He was brother to Natale Corri, a singing master of reputation at Edinburgh, uncle of Mad Frances and Rosalie Corri, songstresses and father of Haydn Corri pianist and singing-master of Dublin, Montague Corri of Manchester, performer at several theatres, and a fencing-master, and of Mrs. Moralt, late Mrs Dussek, late of the Opera House.
