DEATH OF MR. JAMES BROUGHAM.—This gentleman died on Sunday afternoon last, the 22nd instant, about 4 o'clock, in the 54th year of his age. He had been ill for about the last six weeks, but at first no immediate danger was expected. Mr. BROUGHAM was the second brother of the Lord Chancellor; and like his more distinguished brother was bred to the Bar, though he made little figure, and of late years did not follow his profession. He was well known in this and the sister County of Westmorland, from the active part he took in election affairs. During the contests which his brother waged in Westmorland, Mr. J. BROUGHAM was conspicuous for the activity he displayed as a partisan, and for the zeal he showed in opposing the LOWTHERs. He was elected the first representative of the new Burgh of Kendal, in December last; his chief recommendation to the electors being his relationship to the Chancellor, who was so long a great favourite in Westmorland. He had previously been in Parlialiament [sic] for Tregony, and afterwards (in consequence of a boroughmongering compact discreditable to all the parties concerned) for Downton. In Parliament Mr. BROUGHAM was but little heard of: having rarely, if ever spoken there. He voted with the Whigs; but was not very constant in his attendance in the House. In private life, we believe, he was amiable, gentle, and generous, and has left behind him a number of sincerely attached friends, who will long grieve for his loss. As a public man, any importance that attached to him was alone to be attributed to his near connection with the Lord Chancellor, by whom, it was generally understood, he was much beloved. His remains will be interred this morning at Skelton Church.
