THE LATE JOHN BORTHWICK, ESQ. OF CROOK STON. We deeply regret to announce the death of this gentleman, which took place at his residence at Lauriston on Saturday, 24th April, in his 78th year. Any tribute to the memory of this excellent and respected individual, may, in adhering to truth, appear to adopt the language of pane gyric. But those only who had the benefit of being intimately acquainted with Mr Borthwick, could duly appreciate his unimpeachable integrity, his warmth of affection, his unwearied labour to serve his friends whenever they required his assistance, his modest yet sincere piety, his admiration of what was good in others, his peculiar aversion to censure, or even to speak of their foibles and faults, whilst he abhorred (but preferred rather to despise than to resent) whatever was mean and dishonourable. Though fond of retirement, and unassuming in his manners, his personal appearance and demeanour always indicated the high-bred gentleman, and never failed to command respect. Men of far inferior mental endowments, who, either from taste or accident, have been led to become partisaus in the noisy, but often frivolous occurrences of the world, may, in their fleeting day, have been more seen or spoken of by their contemporaries; but as one who, without the smallest display or pretension, understood and promoted the welfare of his countryas a husband, a father, a relation, a friend, a landlord, a master, there is no person whose loss will be more deeply felt and lamented, or whose memory will be longer remembered and revered, than that of the late Mr Borthwick of Crookston.
