Ms BIRTH and BIRTH-PLACE ()JAIL BROUGHAM.

The birth and existence of this Orator depend-
ed upon a chance circumstance, which will strike our readers
with wonder. The father of Bmugham, it is well known, was
proprietor of Brougham Ball, and a tine estate in the north
of England, which still form the patrimony of
family .
.Ile was about to be married to a lady In his own neigh-
bourhood, to whom he was passionately attached, and
every preparation had been made for their nuptials, when, to
Mr. Brougham'. weat grief, his mistress died. To beguile
himself of his sorrows, he deterinined on travelling, and
came to Edinburgh, where, wandering about on the Castle-
hill, viewing the city ho happened to inquire of a fellow-
idler, Whets he could .lintl respectable and convenient lodgings.

Minister of Alloa, who then kept the largest and most gen-
teel boarding and lodging establishment in town, in the
second flat, ( Anglice, floor), of 31' hellan's Land, head of
the Cowgate, (marked No. U.), a tall house with front win-
dows looking up the Candlemaker-row. Here Mr. Brougham
forthwith proceeded to settle himself, and though lie did
not at first contemplate a permanent residence in this
city, he soon found occasion to make that resolution ; for
falling in love with Miss Syme, who was a young Lady
of great merit and beauty .t he abandoned all his early sor-
rows, and, espousing her, lived all the rest of his life In Edin-
burgh. Ile resided for some time after his marriage in Mrs.
Syme's house; and here Henry Brougham, his first born son,
first saw the light. Upon the building of the New Town, Mr.
Brougham removed thither, and was one of the earliest inha-
bitants of the improved districts, living, in that house, No. 7,
George-street, where other two sons were born. It is worth re-
marking, that the principal apartments of Mrs. Sytne's house,
in the revolution to which all that part of the (Rd Town has
been subjected, are now occupied by an old journeyman printer.
