LORD MACAULAY.

The death of Macaulay elicited many extended eulogies from the British press. ‘The notice in the London Times is very elaborate and discriminating. We copy the opening paragraphs :

No death which we could chronicle will be more deeply and widely lument-d than that of Lord Macaulay. His loss 1s not simply that of a greatman. Itis the loss of a great man who accumulated immense stores of information that perish with him. wealth of a province is heaped up to be burned, we see pass- ing with the historian into the darkness of the grave not only a majestic mind, which sooner or later must haye gone from among us, but also the vast acquisitions of this mind, which we faney might have remained with us forever.

For rue Examiner.

Mr. Wurtan—The editor of the Protestant pubiishes in that paper of the 3lst a very indecent attack upon the late Right Rev. Bishop McDonald—the bold baseness of that slauderer of the good Prelate, now in his grave, is so un- christian and mons'rous, that I deem him and his calumny unworthy of further remark than this, that justice must sooner or later overtake and punish that detractor, who, like a flerce Hyena, has brutally dared to remd the sanctity of the tomb of Bishop McDonald, and

‘* Draw frailties from the dread abode’’ which belonged not to the man.

The sume editor has, in that paper, treated the public to ahigh paneyyric on the Legislative abilities and action of the Hon, Kiward Palmer. The astute panegyrist, of course sees something in the Legislative qualifications and acts of Mr. Palmer which are invisible to other men; perhaps he would have the kindvess to show wherever the Statesmanship of Mr. I. bas been exhibited, and when he proved himself, by any Legisiative act or acts of his own, a benefactor of this Colony. If Mr. V’. is not a vanity of vanities he must consider his eu'ogist a distributor of an uagenerous iropy.

Not satisfied with writing mere nousense about Mr. Palmer, the willful and misesievous editor thrusts a full

improvement in our financial affairs. It is well the Govern ment papers did nut go beyond the year immediately prior to the last, for it is well known that there was a lamentable de~ pression in trade of all kinds at that period, that few merchants in the place were exempt from embarrassment, which affected ail the Provinces alike—and that there wae cunsequently w great falling off in the value of var imports. Besides, it will be remembered that in the fall of that very year the ship Majestic was lost —she was laden with the most valuable mer- chandize, which, according to a corr. ct computation made at the time, would have yielded to the Colony if the goods had been saved, a revenue of at least £4,000. Deduct this amount from the £7,000 said to be an increase over the revenue of 1858, and the Government financiers have very little to boast of. Bat let them go back for four years previvus to the tine when commercial embarrassment eommenced—take the years of 1854, 1855, 1856, and 1857, and it will be seen that the revenue in each of those years, under a liberal Government, was much larger than the last year’s revenue. In short, from the time the Liberals cam? into office until I858—-the last year of their rale—when the whole commercial body of the country was on the verge of bankruptey, there was a gradual increase ia the revenue, as will be seen by the following statement taken from the Journal of the House of Assembly .—

THE EX-MEMBER FOR CHARLOTTETOWN AND HIS PANEGYRIST. 3

Tuere are three rather serious defects im tho Brilliant are ticle which the Colonial Secretary has furnished as a Ibador to the last Islander, and which appears to have been intended for a panegyric on the Ion. Mr. Palmer. In the first place, it is not intelligible in some parts ; secondly, it rather com- fuses our notions with regard to the rules laad. down by such authors as Lindley Murray and Lennie as guides to our speak- ing and writing the English language ; and, thirdly, the learned author has mistaken the wildest fictions for the most commonplace facts that are within the knowledge of every intelligent man in the Colony. We may be tuld that in should justify this little bit of criticism by some extracts, We. should be happy to do so if we knew where to begin our selec- tion. The article to which we refer is a very lengthy one ;
