DEATH OF BECKET. Pour knights of distinguished rank, William de Tracy, Hugh de Moreville, Richard 13ritto, and Reginald Fitz. Urge, (Dec. 28,) interpreted the King's complaints as commands. They re paired to Canterbury, confirmed in their purpose by finding that Becket had recomtnenced his excemmunications by that of Robert de 13roc, and that he had altered his course homeward to avoid the Royalist Bishops on their way to the Court in Normandy ; they instantly went to his house, and required him, not very mildly, to withdraw the censure of the prelates, and take the oath to his lord paramount. He refused. John of Salisbury, his faithful and learned secre tary, ventured at this alarming moment to COUll• sel peace. The Primate, perhaps precipitately, but not pusillanimously, thought that nothing was left for him but a becoming death. The knights retired to put on their armour : and there seems to have been a sufficient interval either for negociation or escape. At that mo ment, indeed, measures were preparing Ibr legal proceedings against him. But the visible ap proach of peril awakened his sense of dignity, and breathed an unusual decorum over his lan guage and deportment. The monks could not prevail on hire to be absent from vespers. He went through the cloisters into the church, whi ther he was followed by his enemies, attended by a band of soldiers, such as they had hastily gathered. They rushed into the church with drawn swords. They cried out, " Where is the traitor ? Where is the Archbishop ?" Becket, who stood before the altar of St. Bennet, an swered gravely, " Here am 1: no traitor, but the Archbishop. Tracy pulled him by the sleeve, saying. " Came hither—thou art a prisoner." They advised him to flee, He pulled back his arm with such force as to make Tracy stagger, and said, " What meaneth this, William ? I have clone thee many pleasures. Comest thou with armed men into my church ?"...".." It is not possible that thou shouldst live any longer," called out Fitz-Urse: The intrepid Primate re plied, " I am ready to die for my God in de fence of the liberties of the church." At that moment, either by a relapse into his old disor• ders, or to show that his non-resistance sprung, not from weakness, but from duty, be took hold of Tracy by the habergeon or gorget, and flung him with such violence as had nearly thrown him to the ground. He then bowed his head as if he would pray, and uttered his last words,— " To God and St. Mary I commend my soul and the cause of the church." Tracy aimed a heavy blow at him, which fell on a bystander. The assassins fell on bins with many strokes ; and though the second brought him to the ground, they did not cease till his brains were scattered over the pavement. Thus perished a man of extraordinary abilities and courage, turbulent and haughty indeed ; without amiable virtues, but also without mean vices ; who doubtless believed that he was pro moting the reign of justice by subjecting the men of blood to the ministers of religion ; but who was neither without ambition, nor above the vulgar means of pursuing his objects. That Henry did not intend the murder of Becket may be concluded from the legal hostilities which were in contemplation against him, and from a confidence that so sagacious a monarch must have foreseen ninth of the mischief which this atrocious deed actually brought on him. It is deserving of observation, bow many murders were perpetrated in churches in those ages, when they sheltered the worst criminals from justice. Since the period when they are consi dered with reasonable respect, and have ceased to enjoy a discreditable immunity, they have also ceased to be the theatre of such bloody scenes Or. Lardner',l Cabinet Cyclaprdia, Vol. VIII OSSTAN, MACPIIEUSON, and NAPOLEON Some fragments of the songs of the Scottish highlanders, of very uncertain antiquity, appear to have fallen into the hands of Macpherson, a young man of no mean genius, unacquainted with the higher criticism applied to the genuine ness of ancient writings, and who was too much a stranger to the 13tudiouri world to have learnt those refinements which extend plobity to lite rature as well as to property. Elated by the praise not unjustly bestowed on some of these fragments, instead of insuring a general assent to them by a publication in their natural state, he unhappily applied his talents for skilful imi tation to complete poetical works in a style si miler to the fragments, and to work them into the unsuitable shape of epic and dramatic poems. fie was not aware of the impossibility of poems, preserved only by tradition, being hue!. ligible after thirteen centuries, to readers who knew only the language of their own times ; and he did not perceive the extravagance of peopling the Caledonian mountains in the fourth wittily with a race of men so generous and merciful, so gallant, ao mild, and so magnanimous, that the 1108 t, ingenious romances of the age of chivalry could not have ventured to represent a single hero as on a level with their common virtues.— Be did not consider the prodigious absurdity of inserting as it were a people thus advanced in moral civilization, between the Britons, ignorant and savage as they are painted by Cesar, and the Ifighlanders, fierce and rude as they are pre• sented by the first accounts of the chroniclers of the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. Even the better part of the Scots were, in the latter period, thus spoken of In Scotland ye shall find no man lightly of honour or gentleness : th e y b e like wykle and savage people." The great his torian who made the annals of Scotland a prat or European literature bad sufficiently warned his countrymen against such faults, by the deci• aye observation that their forefathers were mse painted with the art of .writing, which alone presence language from total change, and great events from oblivion. Macpherson was en. :ouraged to overleap these and many other itn.• rrobabilities by youth, talent, and applause : rerhaps he did not at first distinctly present to tie mind the permanence of the deception.

Ilia MAJESTY held a Council this day at (me o'clock, at St. James's Palace, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers and the great Officers of State. The KING received the Address of con- dolence and congratidation from the Univer sity of Oxford. The Deputation, which was most numerously attended, were very graciously received. His MAJZSTY was pleased, in an swer to the Address, to assure them of the high regard and interest which he shall ever feel for that venerable seat of learning. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM kissed hands as Lord Steward, and the Ear/ ofJERSEY as Lord Chamberlain of the Household ; the latter Nobleman was sworn in as a Privy Councillor, and took his seat accordingly. Thu Lord. Lieutenants of Scotland were also summoned to attend, for tho purpose of taking the oath of allegiance, &c. Government have this morning received de spatches from the English Ambassadors at Paris and Holland, and froth the Earl of BELMORE, the Governor. General of Jamaica. Galignani's Messenger has, we find, ir► terms by no means equivocal, contradicted the report so industriously set afloat a few days since, that the capture Of Algiers, and its immediate occu pation by the French, bad given uneasiness to the English Cabinet. The Paper in question says, fs One Journal has asserted, and several other have repeated after it, that his Excellency Lord STUART DE HOTIISAY bad presented to Prince PoutpsAc a note, to require an expla nation on tbist subject. We are able flatly to contradict this news. The English and French Governments are partly agreed respecting the question of Algiers, and we may add also on all questions of European policy. Lord STUART DE ItoTusAY has taken no such step." Ga lignani then goes on to state that the course followed by the French Ministry with respect to the punishment of the Algerine pirates, has re ceived the frank and cordial approbation of the English Government. lie adds that no Con gress is to be held on this subject. The rumours which have thus been, demi-officially, we sup pose, contradicted, originated doubtless with the Liberal party in France, and carrying an air of plausibility with them—for nothing, on the first blush of the thing, was more natural than that an English Cabinet should look with something like distrust on the possession by France of two such ports on either side the Mediterranean, as Toulon and Algiers—obtained for the time more credit than they now appear to have deserved. As regards the rest of the Paris Papers, the . Moniteur of Friday announces the appointments of Gen. BOURMONT, who, by the way, is expected very shortly back again in Paris—to be Marshall of France, and of Admiral DUPERRE to a Peerage. On the subject of the elections the Journal des Debats states, that so far as they have yet proceeded, the Liberals have con siderably the advantage. We have received by Express the Gazette de France of yesterday's date, and letters and papers of Saturday evening. The following is an extract of a private letter of Saturday evening : " We have all sorts of reports circulating respecting the intentions of the Ministry. It was asserted that a coup d'etat was in readiness fur the 24th, but what it was to he none could say. It is, however, believed by well-informed persons►, that the Ministers will certainly meet the Chambers, and that, if the Address be hostile, a dissolution will be pronounced, and that then the great Electoral Colleges will be convoked by Ordinance, and authorized to elect 430 Deputies, by which means the Administration hopes to obtain a majority. Of course this method of proceeding will be attended with great difficulty, but the Ministry do not seem inclined to take this into account." The following are extracts of letters from Algiers : " The capitulation of Algiers seems to have included only the Dey and the inhabitants, as no mention is made of the garrison. The Turkish, Moorish, and Arab troops with drew beyond the river El Haratch, which fills into the sea at the south-east of the bay of Algiers, where they have taken up a position, and formed a numerous camp. It is not yet known whether they intend to follow up hostili ties. One whole division, and the half of another, under the command of General Berthezene, have been detached towards that point. A letter found upon a Turkish officer, killed in the battle of the 29th, leaves no doubt as to the difficulties found by the Dey in carrying on the war. The letter is curious ; it is from an Algerine emissary, lent to call aid of the Arab tribes ; he gives an account of his mis. lion, and says that the Bedouins will not march without being previously paid in gold. The enemy had endeavoured ' to protect the parapets of Fort Emperor, by facing them with bales of cotton, but this did not prevent the French artillery from demolishing the embrazurea and distnountiog the guns." " The Courier Francais says_' Ministers intended to submit to the Chamber of Peers a law on the press, and another on elections whilst the Chamber of Deputies was discussing the Budget. Their project in case the latter was rejected, was again to dissolve the Elective Chamber, and enforce the two laws, which should have received the sanction of the Peers. But it appears that, from infor mation obtained relative to the majority in the Chamber of Peers, they have given up the plan.' " fleneral Bourmont is said to be expected in Paris the beginning of next month. It is also rumoured that Ad miral Duperre is to be appointed Minister of Marine. " A letter written on board the Provence, at Algiers, states that Admiral Duperre had under observation two frigates, the one English and the other Dutch, which he had found in the harbour of Algiers, and on board of which it was suspected the diamonds of the Dey were concealed, whittle formed a great portion of his treasure. This letter adds, that the Turkish and Arab troops had retreated to the interior, where they had formed a considerable camp, but they had not made any movement, and it was ex pected would submit. Two brigades witk artillery lied been sent in pursuit. It appears that the King had changed the name of La Provence, the vessel in which Admiral Duperre hoists his flag, to that of PARIS, SATURDAY Evxma.---Five per Canto:, 105 E 85e. 88e. 70c. 60c. 60e. ; Three per Cents., 79f 50e. 45c. 40c. 36e. 25c. lbe. ; Four per Cents., 99f. 60e. ; /tank Stock, 1870 f.; Rentes de Naples, 871.86 c. 60c. ; litotes d'Espagne, I ; Royal Spanish Loan, 85/- ; Rental Perpetuelle d'Espagne, 741 j; Ifaytian Loan, 465.--Exchange on London, ono month, 25& 45e. ; three months, 2bE 30c.

Among the latter is a manufacturer of Liege, who deals in light cloths, which he would persuade the Turkish Ministry to pup chase for theltreny. Though the Netherlanders can sup. ply this article on very low terms, it is not likely that they can afford to sell as cheap as the manufacturers in Gu. licia and Southern Russia, who it is true, make clothe of very ordinary quality, but have supplied the Turks ever since the breaking out of the Greek insurrection. A house in Warsaw,which carries on a wholesale trade in all imaginable articles besides the banking business, is endea vouring to form a connection at Constantinople, and to have a branch establishment there. It formerly carried on a great trade with the East, by way of England, and now intends to try a more direct channel. This seems to prove the confidence of this how (which has always acted with great caution) in the Turkish Go vernment, and to indicate that it must possess consider able pecuniary resoarces. Another proof that the Sultan's treasury is not so completely exhausted is the constant re fusal of all loans. The agent of Rothschild has hitherto received little encouragement from the Defterdar, and the only answer he blur got is—we shall see—we s h a ll consider. This indeed is something from a, Turkish officer, who never ventures to encourage any hop; un less he Is convinced that the Sultan is not indisposed to listen to a proposal; yet the agent may not succeed in concluding a loan, the chief inducement to which, on the part of th e P orte , i s assumed to be the wish to pay Russia as soon as possible, and to recover Silistria, which is to remain in the occupation of the Russians till the military contributions shall be wholly Tranquillity prevails in Ssrvia, and the Pada of Belgrade has removed all the troops that were in the city and the environs into the citadel, that the Servian uu. thorities may be duly installed.

All the letters from Etseroum say the environs are ren dered extremely unsafe by the frequent robberies rum mitted by disbanded Turkish subtler:, which all the weer glens of the authorities have not yet been able to prevent.

Ikey Solomons has declared that his escape from Newgate was accomplished, not by bribery or pro mise of a reward, but by an ingenious and able ar rangement, with which those who had him in care were totally unacquainted; and he complains much of the enormous expence which that arrangement cost him. He says, that after getting out of the coach, upon his return from Westminster, be went to a certain house in the city, and remained there all night, and that in the morning he went to Tottenham, where he sojourned for sonic weeks. When the astonish ment caused by his escape had subsided, and the search after him had become less inquisitive, he joined a ship going out in ballast, and was conveyed to Denmark, where, upon landing, he found him self possessed of cash to the amount of upwards of 800/. As he could not conveniently trade in a country the language of which he was wholly un acquainted with, he embarked as soon as he could for the United States of America, where he stayed, trading in watches and trinkets, until he learned by the newspapers that his wife was transported. This intelligence determined him to sail for New South Wales; but the vessel was driven by contrary winds to Rio Janeiro. In the storm he was nearly lost. From . Rio Janeiro he paid very ex travagantly for his passage to Hobart -town, where, upon landing, he was immediately recognized by many of the convicts with whom he had had deal ings in London, He immediately purchased two houses, and claimed his wife, who was at once al lowed by the authorities to live with him. He had carried on business in the United States with much success, and declares that he netted 500/. by purchasing watches from the merchants and selling them to the pedlars. He had travelled since he left this country upwards of 50,000 miles. Observer.

In Sugar a good business has been done this week, 1,300 hhds. having been sold. No sales have taken place in foreign. We have received the estafette of Algiers, which gives the following interesting account of the interview which took place between General Bourmont and the Dry of Algivrs • Bourmont was the first person that entered the Pa • lace of the bey, and was received by his Highness with great composure. "I am coma to ask you for an apart ment," said the Commander-in -Chief. To which the Dey replied, " General, any Palace, as well is the city, are , yours, since you have been the victor. You may dispose of them as you please, but I re= goat of you a couple of hours to remove the fur. niture, which is my property. " Take all the time you please, and all the effects you may require." 44 Two hours will suffice," answered the Dey. Accordingly in that short time the whole of the Dey's furniture was conveyed to a private house, and N. Bourmont, with the whole of his staff, was settled in the palace. " Shall I be safe in the town?' asked the Dey. "Yes, but you would do better to retire to France orEngland." The Dey paced the apartment, but mule no reply. After a moment's silence, Hussein uttered a few words :—" I governed without fear, and I abdicate in the same manner." He then, after trAing off his Royal garments, retired into a private dwelling, and he is now to be seen walking about the town and mingling with the crowd.

In the Isle of France the Censorship of the Press rages at present like the horse-sickness in this colony. Accousts from the Mauritius state that a hurricane has been experienced at Bourbon. The effects were most de. atructive. On the 27th of March, and up to the 3.1 of April, much damage had been sustained by the shipping. It is painful to learn that in every part of the colony the hotite-sickness prevails to a very alarming exteat. Upon a comparative view of the imports and exports at the Cape of 1828 and 1829, it appears that the trade was increasing. Au increase in the exports had occurred on the last year of 25;0004 ; the imports of 65,600/. Extract of a private letter front Algiers:-. " CAMP OF ALGIERS, JULY O.

They estimate the total loss of the enemy at twenty to thirty thousand men. One of the Consuls asked the Dey whether he did not regret that he had neglected to avert the storm. I regret exceed. ingly, said he, that I suffered Duval to carry his head with him to France, and ought to have taken it oft I could not have been in a worse situation than I now am in.
