The death of Mr. Broughton, surgeon of the 2d Life Guards, took place in consequence of disease of the ancle-joint, for which amputation of the leg became n.- cessary. On the occasion of his fatal illness he displayed great fortitude. When he observed Mr. Cooper endeavour ing to break to him the necessity of losing his limb, he at once interrupted him, saying, he saw how it was--that the leg must come off, and that he should have it done next day. Immediately after this interview he got into his gig. made his servant drive him to the cemetery, on the Harrow road, where he chose a spot for his grave, and on his ret home he wrote a memorandum, directing that lie should be interred there if he sunk after the operation. His fore bodings proved too well founded ; the operation was per formed by Mr. Liston, with his wonted dexterity, but the constitution of his patient was unable to rally against the ' hock. —Medical Gazelle.

The principal favourites continue pretty nearly in the same positions they occupied on Monday, the only difference being that Puff's fiiends were rather more on the qui sive, that Hen riade was backed freely at 7 to I (offered on Monday), and that a few small sums were laid out on Mango, first at 9 to 1, and finally at Bto I. Slashing Harry was scarcely mentioned, but there was a marked decline in the two or three succeeding favourites. Blakey Topping and Mahometan have again changed places ; the former's price is easily stated, but that of his companion we are obliged to guess, as the offers to bet against and back Lim were alike too indefinite to enable us to ascertain the actual odds. 3 to I agst Lord Westminster's Cardinal Paff—take 13 to 4 6 to 1 agst Duke of Cleveland's Henri.ade—lake 7 to 1 8 to 1 agst Mr. Greville's Mango—taken and afterwards offered 10 to 1 agst Mr. Heseltine's Slashing Harry—offered 12 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Epirus—offered 13 to 1 agst Mr. Forth's Emprise—offered 13 to 1 agst Mr. Fox's The Doctor—take 15 to 1 17 to 1 agst Mr. Walter's The Prime Warden—taken 20 to 1 agst Mr. Osbaldeston's Mahometan—offered 25 to 1 agst Mr. Golden's Robin Hood celt--offered 30 to 1 agst Mr. OsbaWeston's Blakey Topping—taken 550 !o 400 laid on Henriade against Mango, and 1,000 even laid •n Mango and Epirus against Slashing Harry and Mr. Osbal deston's two.

The accounts received from the Highlands state that the number of sportsmen is less than usual this season, and much less than last. The birds at the commencement were plenti ful, and good sport was experienced. In the skooting guar. tern there are several changes, particularly in Inverness-shire. Novar House, last year in the occupation of the Marquis of Hastings, is this year engaged by Lord W. Bentinck. The lion. Captain Fitzroy. Mr. Stanley, and Colonel Standen, are at Aberarder. Lords Alford and Loftus arc at Flowerdale. The Hon. C. Berkeley and party are at Glensheiro, Bade ouch. The lion. D. Murray is at Farr, and the Earl of Sel kirk is at Castle Leod. The mildness of the weather, not withstanding the great facility of the steam-beats, has pre. vented much grouse arriving in the metropolis fit to send to table. ELOPEMENT.-The daughter of an alderman of a neighbouring city having been recently released from the bonds of matrimony by being placed in second widowhood, pleased with the blandishments and ardour of a near ad mirer, determined to do "the thing romantic" by a half and-half sort of Gretna wedding with a young gallant who aspired to the honour of her hand. The father of the would-he bride, not approving of a third son-in-law, pur sued the fugitives to Hull, and, having procured the assistance of some friends, captured the lady and locked her up for the night. In the morning her ardent lover endeavoured to procure her release by raising a ladder to the bed-room window in which she was confined. He was again thwarted. The lady, by permission of her papa, then had an interview with her Lothario (most likely to make better arrangements for a future matrimonial trip, which, experience rendering perfect, will be the more likely to be successful); after which the amorous lady and her papa re turned home, leaving the adventurous knight one of the many who had experienced the truth of the adage, " There is many a slip between the cup and the lip." Upon his de parture he must have been much disappointed, as he de clared " There was nothing worth living for in this world but his dear —!"—Hull Mr. C. Kean arrived at the Old Ship yesterday, and will shortly commence at our theatre an engagement of six nights. We understand that Mr. Kean Will appear in London next season, and is to receive 2,000/., together with a benefit, for forty nights' performance. His first appear ance will be on the Bth of January.—B iyhton Gazette. It is rumoured that Lord Lyndhurst has accepted an invitation from the Earl of Aberdeen to be present at his seat, Haddo House, Aberdeenshire, to celebrate the coming of age of his Lordship's eldest son, Lord Haddo ; and that the Duke of Wellington, and Sir Robert Peel, will be present on the occasion, when the Noble and Learned Lord will be sworn in as Lord Rector of the Ma reschal College of Aberdeen, to which he was elected some time since. Persons were conveyed to and from the late Egham races in the Surrey " go-carts" at 3s. a head. This, taking the journe.y there and back at 35 miles, beats the cheap ness of an omnibus out and out. Mr. Hicks, who landed from the Balavier on Wed nesday, brought despatches from Sir George Slice, at to Lord Palmerston, which he deli% ered at the Fo rev OfUeeimmediately. PRISON DISCIPLINE. The CHAIRMAN said that he bad received a most im portant letter from Lord John Russell, to which he was anxious to call the earliest attention of the Court. He then read the following letter : " Whitehall, August 15. " Gentlemen—l have the honour to send you a volume of extracts from the second Report of the Inspectors of prisons of the home district. You will find in this volume different plans of gaols or houses of correction, adapted for various numbers of prisoners, from four up to five hundred. You will observe that each of these plans contemplates the confinement of the prisoners in separate cells. " I proceed to lay before you the grounds upon which I am disposed to concur with th• home inspector, in the opinion that any new prisons to be erected should be con structed with a view to separate confinement. " The plan which has of late years been most generally adopted, in order to prevent the evils of contamination, proceeds on the principle of separation at night and strict silence during the hours of labour. This plan is subject to the following objections : "It requires numerous punishments in the gaol. You will observe, from the report of Coldbath-fields Prison, and from that of the Wakefield House of Correction, contained in the report of the Inspector of the Northern District, that these punishments are large in number, and exceedingly vexatious in their nature. This practice is of itself a strong objection to the plan. It varies the punishment unequal:) , in different cases, and the imprisonment contemplated by the sentence is thus aggravated by the infliction of fresh penalties. " A feeling of continual irritation is kept up, both by the observance of the rule, and by the punishment for its viola tion. Persons confined in a prison should, if possible, be reduced to a quiet and submissive state, whereby they may at leisure reflect on the evil of the course they have per. sued, and some chance be afforded of their reformation. Instead of this, prisoners confined in society, and not de barred from communication, are invited, as it were, to a perpetual battle with authority, and go out of prison pro voked rather than subdued by the punishment they have undergone. The low diet, which is one of the punishments frequently inflicted, has often an injurious effect on the health, while it does not prevent a repetition of the offence. " This system cannot be kept up without perpetual vigi lance on the part of a very ❑umerous body of keepers. The system is, therefore, combined almost of necessity with the very injurious practice of employing prisoners as wards men, by which means a person convicted of crime, and degraded by the sentence of imprisonment, is immediately placed in a situation of power and autl►or:ty, and considered as worthy of trust and indulgence. Besides this anomaly, so contrary to all sound notions of prison discipline, the practice alluded to gives rise to much intrigue and favou ritism, every prisoner being anxious to obtain the place of wardsman, and, when so employed, dispens;ng favour to those of the convicts with whom he has the most inti mate connection. " For these reasons, and others, I am disposed to believe that the silent system, if fully carried into effect, is attended with much evil. But there arc in fact vi-ry few prisons where the vigilance and activity of the governor of the prison have been such as to make the system really effec tive, and in all such cases, while noise and uproar are re pressed, contamination exists to the most pernicious degree. " I should therefore be anxious to see the system of se paration adopted in all new prisons, and as far as it is prac ticable in those already constructed, hut great care must be taken when this system is put into operation not to con found separate with solitary contineuint. " It is generally understood that solitary imprisonment implies confinement in a gloomy and narrow cell, without occupation, and with a diet of bread and water only. Se parate confinement—as recommended by the inspectors of the home district—means, on the other hand, confinement in large, airy, light, well warmed, and ventilated cells, with moral and religious instruction, regular employment, and the daily visits of the Chaplain and officers o► the prison—as well as of those engaged in the instruction of the prisoners. " It is obvious that this system of confinement would be subject to a very unfair experiment, if it were tried where there do not exist the nwans of setting apart cells of pro per dimensions, and wholesome ventilation ; or if the pri soners so confined, should be left without employment, or instruction of any kind, to brood over their melancholy condition. " Where, however, these precautions can be observed and are properly attended to, there cin be no reason to doubt that whatever be the result with respect to the more hardened offenders opportunity will be given for savlng from a course of crime and disgrace those young and casual offenders whose previous good character is a proof that their crimes are not the result •f confirmed habits. Ac cording to the system still too generally prevalent such offenders in being sent to gaol are in fact sent to a school where elaborate instruction is given for the violation of the laws, and where the sense of shame is destroyed by the number and confidence of guilty companions. By the regulations of the separate system such persons would be strictly separated from all other c►iminals, would have the means of repenting of their offences, and when discharged would not be liable to be claimed and recognized by con victs who had been inmates with them in the same prison. " I beg further to call the special attention of the Ma gistrates to those parts of the abstract which relate to the expediency of applying separate confinement to the untried, and which describe the geneial principles to be observed in the arrangement and construction of prisons upon that sys torn.—l have the honour to be your obedient humble servant, " J. RUSSELL. " To the Magistrates of the county of Middlesex." The CIIAIRNINN then complained of some inaccuracies in the report alluded to in the letter, particularly with re ference to the evidence given by Captain Chesterton, the Governor of the House of Correction, which represented him as having condemned the silent system, while, on the contrary, he approved of it, and !hid since written to the Committee, requesting the error might be corrected. The Magistrates would judge of the ♦alue of the report when they were made acquainted with the circumstance he had mentioned relative to the evidence of Captain Chesterton. One thing, however, was clear, that whatever bencfit might result from the proposed system all the gaols in the country must be rebuilt before it could be carried into effect. Mr. GARFORD said he considered the letter just read was a most important one, and he moved that it be printed and circulated among the Magistrates of the county, and referred to the two Prison Committees. Sir J. SCOTT LILLIE said it would be of no use referring the letter to a Committee, as the Magistrates bad nothing to do but to comply with the terms of it. The CIIAIRMA . N.LNO, no. Mr. POWNALL—The Committees w►ll have power to consider the question in all its bearings, and report thereon to the Court. After a long discussion the letter was referred to the Prison Committees. ADDRESS TO DER MAJESTY. The CHAIRMAN reported that himself and other Magi strates bud had the honour of presenting to her Majesty the addresses agreed to at the last General Court ; and that her Majesty had been pleased to receive them very graciously. ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN DOWAGER. A letter from Earl Howe was read, stating that be was commanded b`• the Queen Dowager to acknowledge her re ceipt of the address voted to her at the last Court. ALTERATION IN THE LAW RELATIVE TO WILLS. The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the Court to the following letter he had received from the Under Secretary of State : " Whitehall, August 24. " Sir—l am directed by Lord Jahn Russell to transmit to you the enclosed copy of an Act passed in the last session for amending the law with respect to wills, together with copies of abstracts of its most important provisions. As the Act referred to is one of very great and general importance, and ought to be universally known throughout the kingdom, I am desired to call your attention to the provisions of this Act, which materially affect the execution of wills ; and to request you will take the most effectual means of making this alteration of the law in respect of wills us much known as possible. " Your obedient Servant, " S. M. PHILLIPS." The CuAntmAN then said he did not know of any mode he had of complying. with the request contained in that letter except the reading it in open Court, afterwardi directing copies of the same to be laid before the magistrates. Mr. ROTCH thought it was a most absurd thing for the Government to make that Court the medium of making their Acts of Parliament known to the public. The idea IA as most preposterous and absurd. The CHAIRMAN said he having received such a letter would not have done his duty had he not laid it before the Court. At the same time he really could not see what that Court had to do with it, as it did not at all relate to the affairs of the county. Here the matter dropped. The Report of the Committee of General Purposes read. It stated that the inspectors of weights and mea sures had made their quarterly report of the fees received by them. One of them had only received 255., for receiv ino• which his salary was 32/. 'Mr. HALSWELL said this showed that there was not the slightest necessity to have so many inspectors for the county. It was surely too bad to pay a man 32/. for receiving 2.55. Sir C. FORBES thought the exertions of the inspectors had been productive of great public good ; not less than 40,000 light weights had been destroyed by them. If the Act required amendment, and he for one thought that it did, the best plan would be to suggest to the Government such amendments as might be deemed necessary. The CHAIRMAN said the Act was so loosely worded that its provisions could not possibly be carried into effect. The Reports of the Visiting Justices as to the state of the House of Correction and the New Prison, C!erken we!l, were read.—The Court then adjourned. SPAIN. DUELLING IN SPAIN. MADRID, ACTG. 1 7 29.—1 n former letters I informed you that General Seoane had by his speech in the Cortes, and subsequently by a letter published in the journals here, ex cited the deepest hostility among the officers concerned in the mutiny at Aravaca, and also among those who were on duty at the time the revolution took place in August last at La Granja. The consequence of hi s h onest and fearless exposure of the conduct of these individuals has been a duel yesterday morning, which has p r od uce d a strong an d indignant sensation in ,Madrid, from the circumstances un der which the event has occurred. You may depend on the following particulars as being correct : The officers of the Royal Guard, feeling themselves in jured by being included in the common denunciation pro nounced against them and the mutineers at Aravaca, held a meeting, at which lots were drawn, not for one individual to fight General Seoane, but for several in succession, until he or they were shot. The first lot fell on a young man, one of the Guards, whose name I u elerstand to be Manzano. He was seconded by General Cordova's brother, formerly belonging to the Guards, but for some rea son resigned. General Seeane was seconded by Count Almodovar, late Minister of War, and by a Mr. Aranja, of Bilbao. The parties met at seven in the morning, at the Puerta de Metro, a short distance from the city. Ac cording to the etiquette of duelling in Spain, but one of the pistols is charged with ball, the other only containing pow der, and lots are drawn for the weapons, without either of the principals being aware which possesses the loaded pistol. The reason they assign for this deviation from the umel practice is to equalise more completely the chances between good and•bad shots. The parties also fire at eight paces, each party taking aim at the first signal, and firing at the third. General Seoane and his antagonist having been placed on the ground according to these rules, the word was given by M. Cordova, and both fired at the same mo ment, so that one report could not, I am told, be distin guished from the other. General Seoane was observed to fall instantly ; but on the seconds coming up he rose, and was found to have been only wounded in the side, the ball probably striking on one of the ribs, and in this manner taking an oblique direction. The ball was found in the breast of his coat. His first exclamation after recovering from the shock was, I understand, Cargar otra yr; to charge again ; but his seconds, very properly, would not consent, and took him off the - field. This is not all. His chivalrous conduct, too much so. indeed, for the persons with whom he has to &al, exceeds any thing of the kind perhaps ever heard of. You are aware that the present laws of Spain condemn the survivor in a duel to certain death, whether he be the aggressor or in fault or not. In order to remove all apprehensions feom the minds of his antagonists as to the consequence of fight ing with a general officer, and of his being killed in a duel with them, he resigned his commission the night before to the Queen, and had horses prepared in his stable, and di rections drawn up for obtaining an immediate passport to insure the flight and safety of the individual whom he was going to fight. A letter to this effect was. put by him into the hands of his antagonist's second, M. Cordova, mid giv ing him at the same time his purse containing some gold ounces, in order the more effectually to assist him in escap ing the consequences of the law in the event of its being necessary. This of course was refused, M. Cordova stat ing that the friends of the young officer would supply him with means sufficient for effecting his escape, should such a course be found necessary. The matter has so far thus ended, General Seoane on going into his carriage declaring to the seconds that lie did not nor would nr , t retract one syllable of the speech spoken by him in the Cori os, or writ ten in the letter to which I have already alluded. I ant happy to state that on inquiry this morning I P.td filet his wound is not considered dangerous. The report this morning was, that lie had been assassinated clueing the night, but no attempt of this kind was made. It is by no means creditable to the Government, the Cortes, and his friends, that no steps were taken to protect him front the attacks to which bravery and honesty have exposed him. FLIGHT OF CABIZERA. ZARAGOZA, AUG. 3l.—A letter has been received from Aieorisa, said to be from a person worthy ni belief, stating that Cabrera passed through Santa Lucia de Molinos—or Molinos—on the 26th instant, mounted on a mule, fol lowed by two others laden. He had no horse nor other attendants but the three muleteers. He remained at Mo linos about an hour and a half, and then went to Las Cuevas, where he took fresh mules, and took the road to Las Parras, by Santolia. His route beyond that point was unknown to the writer. Two hours after he left Las Cuevas, eight Carlist cavalry, who described themselves as being Cabrera's orderlies, ar rived, and after inquiring as to the road he had taken, they followed in that direction. Shortly afterwards twelve more horsemen arrived in search of the eight, stating that they were pursuing Cabrera with peremptory order to take him and bring him dead or alive to the Pretender in person. If this be true, another important result has arisen from the action of the 9.4 th. Cabrera was fleeing direct towards Valencia ; no doubt his mules were well laden with booty. Should he get off, Carlos will have lost three of his best generals. Cabrera was his main support in Arragou. If he should have escaped, or have been killed or imprisoned, the Preten der will be left with only the debris of his Basque army, who are not likely to stand by him long. Cabrera's men will drop off, and return to their old haunts, to act us freebooters, in separate bands, the moment that they find themselves bereft of their Chief, who alone could hold them together. I give you the report, without vouching for its cor rectness. It is very probable, however, that, basing suf fered much in the last action, and being embariassed as to the next step to be taken, the Pretender and his chiefs quarrelled, and that.the abandonment of Cabrera was the consequence. _-- JOSEPH HUME, ESQ., M.P.—Last evening, a preliminary meeting was held in the Merchaoes Hall, at tended by several of the Magistrates and Town Council, and the principal leading Reformers, Bailie Crooks in the Chair. The object for which they were convened was to deliberate on the propriety of a public demonstration in behalf of the Liberal cause, by a festive entertainment to Mr. Hume, as a proof of the high esteem in which he is held among the citizens of Edinburgh and the Re formers of Scotland. The proposal was most cordially received, anda Provisional Committee appointed to secure the necessary arrangements. We understand it is pro posed to proceed by requisition, and we are convinced that hundreds will promptly come forward, whenever it shall be • known where signatures will bo received. It will surprise us if the Provisional Committee will find can vassing necessary on this occasion. Our only apprehension that no place of assembly will be found large enough to receive all who will attend. Those who first enrol their names will of course be first served according to the accom modation.—Scottish Pilot of Wed nes d ay.

COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND HUNIOURIST, EDITED BY THEODORE HOOK, ESQ.—The portrait of the Queen, which introduces the graces and the n d the gaieties of the present number, is one of the prettiest and best executed that we have seen ; and the graceful cap and elegant little bonnet seem, like Mercy, to become the throned monarch better than a crown. This portrait tends to confirm our impression that Miss Costello is peculiarly fortunate in her likenesses, conveying an air of elegance corn 7 bined with simplicity, whi_ih is too frequently neglected. The literary contents, too, have an ample share of attraction. The Gurney Papers" and the" Phantom Ship" are excel lent, as usual. Ben Jonson is delightfully brought before us ; and so are our old school acquaintances Brown, Bones, and Robinson, whom Mr. Jerrold will render more re.. no xned and popular than ever. The " Painter's Dattgliter " is a tale of strong interest ; Mr. Crowquil's " Golden Pip.. pin" is amusing ; and Mr. Benson Hill's "Sporting Bet" I will inevitably be " won," whether Englishman, Irishman, or Scotsman be eitllecl ill to decide.—coort Journal.
