LADY. MARY LINDSAY CRAWFORD.

The funeral of this venerable and distinguished lady took
place on the 2d instant, and was attended by the Earl of Glas-
gow, heir of entail to the deceased, her distant but nearest rela-
tive, by the Right Zion. David Boyle, Lord Justice Clerk.
by Lord Lindsay, Lieut.-Colonel James' Lindsay, younger of
Balcarres, Sir henry Bethune. (paternally Lindsay,) of Kil-
conquhar, Johnstone Lindsay; Esq. of Kirirforthar, and many
other gentlemen ofsFifeshire. The burial service of the Church
of England havinebeen most impressively read iu the Gothic
Hall of Crawford Priory, by the Rev. Mr. Sinclair, brother-in-
law of the Earl of Glasgow, the funeral proceeded to the mau-
soleum at Walton, built many years ago on a lofty eminence
on the estate, and in which repose the ashes of her brother, the
late Earl of Crawford and Lindsay. Great numbers of the I
tenantry, and of the town's-people of Cupar and Ceres were in
attendance; the most respectful order was preserved, and few
indeed, it is to be presumed, could witness with indifference the
obsequies of the last of a direct line, which for nearly five hun-
dred years has flourished in Fifeshire, and whose deeds have
been for ever enrolled in the chronicles of ancient Scotland.
Lady Mary Lindsay was daughter of George Lindsay, nine-
. teen-th Earl of Crawford, and fourteenth Earl of Lindsay of the
Byres, a title which ranks first on the roll of Scottish barons,
as that of Crawford does on the Union Roll of Earls. On the
death of her brother, George Lindsay, the twentieth Earl of
Crawford, in 18(18, she succeeded to the family estates of Craw-
ford Priory and Struthers in Fife, and Kilbirnie in Ayrshire.
The Fifeshire property was obtained from the Keiths, in ex-
change for Dunotter Castle, in the fourteenth century, by Sir
William of the Byres, younger brother of the ancestor of the
first fourteen Earls of 'Crawford, of whom the Earl of Balcar_
res. chief of the name, is heir-male and representative. The
Kilbirnie property was obtained by the marriage (1661) of
Lady Mary's ancestor, Patrick Lindsay, (second son of John
tenth Lord Lindsay of the Byres, first Earl of Lindsay, and fif-
teenth Earl of Crawford,) with Margaret Crawford the heiress;
Their son was created Viscount of Garnock, and on the death
(in 1749) of. John Lindsay the eighteenth Earl, (whom the in-
dustrious Chambers styles "the most generous, the most gal-
lant, the bravest and the finest nobleman of his time," George,'
fourth, Viscount-orGarnock, Lady Mary's father, succeeded as
nineteenth Earl, to the estates and earldom of Crawford.
By her ladyship's settlements, examined at the Priory after
her interment, Lord Lindsay, eldest son of the Earl of Bal-
carres, is appointed, after the vayment of her debts and certain
legacies and annuities to her friends and domestics, sole resi-
duary legatee. A considerable sum 'is also left to the poor of
the parish. her domestics, several of whom have been many
years in her service, and whom shortly before her death she
thanked for their long and faithful attentions, are kindly re-
membered in her last will and testament. Even her anxiety
for the kind treatment of the numerous animal favourites she
protected duringsker lifetime has been bequeathed by her will
to her successor ;lea ono of her horses are to be disposed of to
cruel or barbarous masters, and of one of them, which be-
longed to her late brother, particular care is to be taken. The
gratitude and affection with which it is pleasing. to find her me-
mory regarded by those who had the best opportunities of know-
ing her, will long, we trust, be cherished among all classes in
her native county, when those harmless eccentricities, which
like those of Goldsmith's village-pastor, still " lean'd to virtue's
side," and to the cause of humanity, are forgotten, or remem-
bered but with a smile.—Edinburg! paper.

From a comparison of the receipts of the custom-house at
Havre, during the first eleven months of 1832 and 1833. it ap-
pears that there is a decrease of 2,581,269 f. in the latter year.
In 1832 they were 25,497,210 f., and in 1833 only 22)915,941.

AN ESTABLISHED CHURCH NECESSARY FOR TIIE
GOVERNMENT OF THE STATE.

The following brief outline of Bishop Warburton's
argument in favour of Church Establishments cannot
be too widely circulated at a period when the enemies of
the Church ate making every exertion to erect its sepa-
ration
from the State.

This great writer contends that no form of government
is-perfect without a religious establishment, because,
I. Civil laws can have no further efficacy than to restrain
men from open transgression.
2. The influence of civil laws cannot in all cases be extended
thus far. It cannot, when the severe prohibiti:m of one inegu-
',trill: threatens the bringing on a greater; and this will always
be the case when the irregularity is owing to the violence of the
sensual passions.
3. The very attention of civil laws to their principal object '
occasions a further inefficacy in their operations. To understand ,
this, we must consider that the care of the state is for the WHOLE,
under which individuals are considered but in the second place,
as accessories only to the whole; the consequence of which is,
that, for the sake of the body's welfare, some individuals are often
left neglected. Now the care of religion is for particulars, and
a whole has but a second place in its concern.
4. There was a further inefficacy .in human laws. The legis-
lator, in inquiring into the mutual duties of citizens, arising from
their equaNty of condition, found those duties to be of two kinds.
The first he entitled the duties of PERFECT OBLIGATION, because
civil laws could readily and commodiously, and were of necessity
required to enforce their observance. The other he called the dit-
ties of IMPERFECT OBLIGATION; not that morality cloth not as
strongly exact them, but because civil laws could not conveni-
ently provide for the observance of them. Of this latter kind
are charity, hospitality,,gratitude, love of our country, &C.
5. The two great sanctions of law and civil regimen are reward
and punishment. These are generally called the two hinges on
which government turns. Yet, from the original constitution
and nature of civil soCietT, it neither had nor could enfdrce the
sanction of REWARD. '1 he reason is, because no society can
ever find a fund sufficient for that purpose, without raising it on
the people as a tax, to pay it back to them as a reward. But as it
is evident that the joint sanctions of rewards and punishments
• are but just sufficient to secure the tolerable observance of right,
it follows that, as RELIGION only can supply the sanction of
REWARDS, which society wants, and hath not, religion is abso-
lutely tiecessarg to dell government.
