Mrs. Brougham, the Venerable mother of' Lord Brougham, died at
Brougham flail on Tuesday„ at the advanced age of eighty-seven.. TIm fidlowing obituary notice has been sent to the newspapers, we presume by time relatives of the deceased hilly— She was a lady of the most andahle disposition, and lias uniiersally re. specie(' and esteemed, almost adored, by those who bad the h.mour of her acquaintance. No lady in the North of England was mitre refined iii her inaw. tiers and behaviour; and no one wits more clidearcd to high and low, rich and poor. Above all, she was truly a religions character; and the consul:aloof, which Christianit■• affords enabled her to bear with fortitude :old resignation the bereavements which it Wil$ her lot to stiffer. Reposing o lilt confidence in the all-wise disposals of Providence, she felt her sorrows as a mother, who lamented the death of' her children ; hut she bore her sorrows with the resig- nation of a Christian, who hopes and expects to meet those who died in the Lord, and whom she so much loved, in another and a happier world, where there shall be DO more sorrow, but where tears shall be wiped hum all eyes, through Him who wa,lied us in his own blood. Mrs Brougham was the friend of the poor 'and the fatherless, and of him that had none to help Lim.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon her, and she caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. She was eyes to the blind, and feet was she to the lame.' Her memory will be long held in reverence and esteem, and will go down to posterity with that of her highly-gifted son."
Lord Brougham was present on Saturday at the sitting of the French Academy of Moral and Political Seieuees, of Welt his Lordship is a corresponding member.—Paris Paper.
