Rev. V.¢. A. Bouderault.

Tue Rev. Nazvire Charles Antoine Boud- reault, Parish Priestof Miscouche and Fifteen Point entered into eternal rest on Saturday. He had been in ill health for a long time and his death was not unexpected.

The reverend gentleman was born at Amherst, Magdalen Islands, on the 9th day

if September, 1852, and was the eldest son

of Hippolyte Boudreault and Melaine Bourgeois. He began his studies in St.

1865, and after a

full course at that institution entered the

Dunstan's College in Grand Seminary, Montreal, in 1875. On the 25th of May, 1876 (Ascension Day) he was ordained priest by His Lordship Bishop After his

MelIntyre, in Charlottetown.

ordination he was in charge of the Fort \ugustus Mission for two years, whenee he was appointed priest in charge of St. Dun- stan’s Cathedra!, in this city. In August, 1879, he was given charge of the Parish f Miscouche and Fifteen Point, where he labored up to the time of his death. Besides attending to his pastoral duties found time to devote

considerable atteution to agricultural

pursuits and was recognized as a model farmer.

He was deservedly esteemed by his parishioners as wellas by allwho knew hin, and his early death in the midst of a career of usefulness is deeply regretted.

Lord Macaulay and His Defeat in 1847.

Inthe Dairy Examiner of the 26th of December, | notice that ‘*T. H. H.,” in “Gleanings from my Common-place ’ takes exception to some statements ‘An Incident in the Life ot Lord Macaulay.” Referring to Macau- lay’s defeat in LS47, oT 2. oo... ae ‘His rejection was not caused by his yiews on the Cora Laws, but was owing chiefly to his having supported in the House of Com- mons, by speech and vote, Sir Robert Peel’s bill increasing the pecuniary grant Roman Catholic College of May- nooth,” I cannot agree with this view of the matter. Macaulay's speech on the Maynooth College bill was delivered on the 4th of April, 1845, and the bill passed its second reading four days afterwards, Macaulay supporting it. On the 26th of June, 1846, the Corn Law bill passed the Peers ; and before the night was over, the Government led by Sir Robert Peel re- ceived its coup de grace in the Commons. Lord John Russel was commtnded to form an adininistration, and Macaulay obtained the post of Paymaster General of the Army, which necessitated his re-election. Mr. Trevelyan, im his ** Life and of Macaulay,” quotes a letter written to Mrs. ‘Trevelyan (Macaulay’s sister) on the 9h July, 1846, from the Royal Hotel at Edinburgh. It says :—

‘*T reached Edinburgh last night, and found the ce ty ina storm. ‘The Dissenters and Free Churchmen have got up an opposition on the old ground of Maynooth, aud have sent ft Sir Culling Eardly Smith. He isto be here this evening. gh We had to-day a great meeting of the electors. The Lord Provost presided. Near three thousand well dressed people, chiefly voters, were pre- sent. I spoke for an hour,—as well, they tell me, as 1 ever spoke in my life, and certainly with considerable effect. There was immense

qkestion

? resuit

At page 116 of the ** Life and Letters «f Lord Macaulay,” vol. 2, published at

Detroit by Belford Brothers, 1877, Mr. lrevelyan says :

‘* But there was one city in the Kingdom where he (alluding to Macaulay) had ce to be popular, and unforiunately that city was Kdingburgh. The causes of his unpopularity were, in part, external and temporary, and in part can be detected only alter an aitentive review of his personal character.’

Macaulay, in 1842, when the People’s Charter was presented to Parliament, had spoken with ar but sincere conviction could supply, against Mr. Thomas Dunscombe’s motion that the petitioners should be heard at the bar of the Heuuse; and, in consequence, earned the enmity of of the Chartists of Edinbargh. Thereby he lost the support of the Radi- cals, Mr. Trevelyan at page 120 of the same volume aboye quoted says :—

} censed

ees ae empbasis which nothing

‘** But justice demands that on ene point a protest should be made. Thee are some still alive who have persuaded themselves into the belief that they opposed Macaulay because he was not sound on the Corn Laws, and this in tle teeth of the facts that from the year

1843 onward, he was a consistent and hearty supportrr of thie uncompromising resolution annuaNy brought forward by Mr. Charles Villiers: and that (as his letter to Mr. Me- Failane made only to» notorious), at the crowning momeat gt the Free Trade contro- versy he statedly and ,eyclutely refused to lend his assistance in forming any ministry which did not pledge itself to the total and immediate removal ot the duty upon corn. If such an early and signal repentance as this,— (and I will not enter into the question whether or not his previous conduct had been such as called for repentance)—Wwas inneflec- tual to clearthim in the eyes of bis constitu- ents, then, indeed the authority of an elector over his representative would be a tyranny which no man of feeling would desire to exer- cise, and no man of honor could be expected to endure.”

This shows clearly that my statement, that a ‘'delusion respecting Macaulay’s views on the Corn Laws” contributed to his defeat in 1847, was strictly correct. If it were not 89, Mr. Trevelyan would not have entered this protest.

Avd now, respecting the influence of the spirit dealers, let me say a few words, al- though I fear my space will necessitate a curtailment of the explanation and proof of my statement. In 1847 an agitation was raised in Edinburgh that ‘* Christian men ought io sead Christian men to repre- sent them,” and Mr. Charles Cowan was selected by those opposed to Macaulay, as likely to be a stronger candidate than Sir Culling Eardley Smith had proved the year before. At page 121 of the volume before quoted, Mr. Trevelyan says: —

‘** But, when people inspired by these ex- emplary motives had once begun to move, others whose views were of a more temporal and mundane complexion were not behind- hand in following their example. A deputa- tion of spirit dealers waited upen Macaulay to urge the propriety of altering the excise duties in the interest of their trade. They failed to convince him; and he told them plainly that he would do nothing for them, and most probably would do something against them. ‘The immediate consequence of this unsatisfactory interview was the appear- ance of a fourth candidate in the person of a Mr. Blackburu, who was described by his own proposer as one who ‘came forward for the exeise trader, which showed that his heart waa with the people,’ or at any rate with that section of the people whose politics consisted in dislike to the whiskey duty.”

Mr. Blackburn was nominated along with Cowan, Craig and McAulay, and obtained 980 votes, which would, no doubt, have been given to McAulay, had he agreed to support the views of the spirit-déalers. But oo man should know what caused his defeat better than the candidate himself, and the following letter of Lord McAulay, written the day of the election, to his sister, should be better evidence than even the very. authority quoted in ‘**Gleanings from ny Common place Books.” It is as follows :-—

Not one word about Maynooth! If that question had been the principal cause of his defeat, it would have been mentioned among the rest. No doubt, among a cer- tain class, the remembrance of Macaulay’s magnificent appeal for justice to the Roman Catholic Church, him a loss of some votes; but that would be oifset by the votes of others who coud not but be grate- ful to the man who supported his opponents in order to do justice. I would like to quote part of that speech on the Maynooth College Bill, but space forbids.

A word or two respecting the election of

‘* Towards the end of May the elevation to the peerage of Mr. Abercromby, the Speaker, left a seat at Edinburgh vacant. The Minis- ters did all that could be done in London to zet Macaulay accepted as the Liberal candi- date, and the constituency gave a willing response. He introduced himself to the elec- tors in a speech that, in point of style, came up to their expectations, and with the sub- stance of which they were very well conteut- ed. He conciliated the Radicals by pledging himself tea the ballot; the reminiscences of Lord Melville’s despotism were still too fresh in Scotch memories to make it worth while forthe Tories even to talk of contesting the representation of the Scotch capital ; and the Whigs would have been monsters of ingrati- tude if they had not declared to aman In favor of one who was a Whig with the sam intensity of that Moatrose had been a R ryalist, or Carnot a Jacobin.”

Official advices from Apia confirm the announcement of an encounter between Mataafa’s followers and the Germans. On Bec. 18 the German gunboat Alder, with the German consul on board, proceeded to Lanlay, Mataafa’s chief position, with the intention of negotiating for disarming the insurgents, in consequenceof the destruction of German prosperity and the insults to German sailors. A party was landed, and while on the way to Vallelle plantation they were suddenly attacked by the rebels, led by an American named Klein Olegar The Alder and Eber landed more men, whe succeeded in repelling the natives and des- troying some villages. Lieut. Sieger and 15 men were killed and Lients. Spengler and Burchard and 36 men wounded. The latter are doing well.

A deputation, headed by Lord Arm- strong, visited Lord Salisbury on Friday to urge the adoption by the Gov ernment of a comprehensive scheme for the defenee of | the British mercantile ports. In reply tu the address of the deputation, Lord Salis- bury stated that he sympathized with their anxiety, and said their request was justified

hy the circumstances of the day. The en- ormous offensive power of foreign countries might be concentrated against England, although that was not likely. Continuing, Lord Salisbury said: ‘* While not taking a gloomy view of the future, we must not fail to take the necessary precautions for defence. The responsibility of defenee rests on the Government, but it is the nations duty to bear its share of the cost. He would not now discuss how far the Government could safely limit the expen- diture, but he would represent the views of the deputation to his colieagues.” Lord Salisbury’s speech is believed to foreshadow a large naval and military programme at the next session of Parliament.
