The packet-ship-Montezuma, Captain Lowber, ar rived here . this afternoon from New York, whence she sailed on the 18th, seven days after the Virginian, that reached this port on Monday. 1 The lanientable accid( nt of the bursting of the gun on board the Princeton 11A been er,imined into and reported upon by a commi , tee of naval officers ap. pointed for the purp )se. Their report descrlbes the calamity to have been entirely accidental, and it exo nerates the captain and others connected with the -vessel from all blimp. Texas is again beinz discussed with much warmth, as regards its incorporation with the United States, Public feeling appears to b. a good doal divided on the subject of the annexation. The Pre4dent iz• eagerly in favour of it, and it is said that he has concluded a treaty f r carrvino. the project into effect. This treaty wit hay , to be sabmitted to the Senate for ratificatio , ), where, the accounts also say, it is sure of a luvourab!c, toc_:)- tion. The sul,j ct had l'een taken u p i n the anise ' o f Rppresentatives; but nothing was elleited ie'pect ilg the movern nts of the Exticutive. Mr. Wehst,r, who is adverse to the pr •ct, puld'she4l a letter, making his views known ; he reglrds the union as 'alrea fy too unwieldy„ and to extend it to Texas 'would, he conceives, seriou,ly weaken its present, stabLity. One of those distressing calamities which appear to pre ,ail on the Anae.rican waters t,) a greater extent than in any other part of the world— a steam-boat collision—occurred at Old River, and is fully detailed in the New Orleans papers. The loss of life is stated to be between sixty and eighty. One of the boats sunk almost instantly, the others escaped without injury ; the accident happened at midnight, when the passengers were, for the most part, in bed and asleep. Amongst the sufferers were a onside , able number or negrees, Disturbances had taken place at St. Domingo, in which some officers of the Government ha I been killed, and others, on a more ex ensive scale, were apprehended... .. . . .. the..110u5 , , .of _Representatives, in Pennsylvania. had,_ nsiettd-of.making an effort to re t r i eve t h e c h a= i tacter:of the State, by mv,ingthe interest on their cnic,. litisted ,a' tre-19 14 # 1 9.4 air Oust. fre-z-trade . and a 'ow i 47013 b. , ingrii"--h- j to afflict th e c ountry with .a 4 4 auger, population !

The Cotton Market was quiet, and all speculation in the staple had ceased. MONEY MARKET, MARCH 16. (From the New York Commercial Advertiser.) The public expectation has been somwhat disap pointed by the ceu-se of proceeding of the Legislature of the defaulting States, in relation to a resumption of payment of the interest upon their indebtedness. A considerable degree of confidence had been felt that the improvement in the general business of the country would excite a more heneurable feeling in the popula tion of theee States, aed that the Members of the Legis latures would be authorised by public opinion to impose ad litional taxes, in order to make•due provision for that purpose. The adjournment of the Legislature of Indiana, with ' out showing any disposition to restore the credit of the State, had the effect to check the feeling of confidence in regard to the perfection of any measures by other States at their present sessions. The Legislature of Maryland have now adjourned, without. accomplishing anything, although various measures had been under discus ion. What Pennsylvania may do is yet uncertain. Upon her action depends, in a great degree, the estima tion in which our State securities and our national cha raeter will be held abroad. We eannot but indulge the hope that the measures vihich have been proposed, or other: designed to accomplish the same object, will yet be adoprel, and a beginning, at least be made towards rest,%ring the credit of the country, and rendering:simple jw.tiee to their creditors. In.liana and Illinois are not now supposed to be able to pay their interest punctually without increasing the principal, though even they might do something toward it; but l'ennsylvan , a carol. a make the excuse of in ability. Tier delay, so long as it continues, will be chargeable only to utiwiilingeess. One portion of the Legislature would favour taxation, provided the public works were to be sold ; another would go for taxation if they were not to be sold ; the votes in either case de pending upon the caerying out of their own peculiar vi,ees ; while still another portion, and perhaps the iargest, are in favour of such measures, and such only as are designed to secure their own re-election.

The following telegraphic dispatch has been re ceived by the French Grovernment:-- `` MARNEILLES, APRIL 2. " ATITENs, MARCH 20.—The Minister of Finance to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. "On the 10th of March the Constitution made by concert between the King and the National Assembly was voted and aeceptesl." A letter from Berlin, 28th ult., says :—" There is a report current that the King of Prussia intends this year to visit Paris, but as yet nothing of a positive na ture has transpired on the subject. It appears, certain, however, that an invitation has been received from the King of the French, and that the best understanding exists between the two sovereigns. A fewdays ago the King of Prussia gave another proof of his kind feelings towards men of science and literature. • Mr. Georg , . Jones. the author of a work on Anciett America,' visited Berlin,tin consequence of an autograph letter sent to him by the King. He had scarcely arrived, when his Majesty, without the previous formality of a presenta- tion, invited him to dinner, and treated him with marked attention and condescension. The day before ye-nerday he had the honour also of dinir.g with the Crown Prince and Princess." The Weser Gazette states, from Copenhagen, that the Minister of Finance, M. DE MOLTKE, has tendered his resignation, because he would not take upon him self the responsibility of providing the money (500,000 crowns), at which the expenses for the re ception of the Emperor NICHOLAS are estimated. It is added that his example has been followed by other Members of the Government. The subjoined state ment is given in a letter from Cassel, March 28 : " Many of the chief points connected with the esta blishment of railroads in Electoral Hesse have been de cided by the Government, and it is expected that the States will discuss the subject to-morrow. The railroad to Frankfort, by Hesse .Cassel, the upper part of Hesse Dartr.stadf and Wetteravia, will be undertaken in common by the Grand Duchy and the city of Frankfort. The first estimate of the expenditure for the duchy wilt 7,600,000 thalers ; but Mr. Stephenson, who last year inspected the proposed line, reduces the estimate to 6,500,000. Tho minicter of Finance is of opinion that the receipts of this road will buffiee so as to prevent the necessity of any augmentation of the general taxes. As regards the other roads which are proj.-cted, it is not yet decided whether they shall be made by the State or by companies." THE BOURSE—THIIRSDAY, APRIL 4. First Highest • Lowest Last ' - Price.

Large shafts for steam-engines had been thus fabricate'', uhich experience had demonstrated to be illpt.,inr in those qualtries which were desirable, to the same art les itmufactured of ca •t iron. •• Th, :e circumstances appear to have led Captain -ztockton to con , id.-r the q rest Lin how far the same ma :erisl might be emeltiyel in the cerstruction of cannon of large calibre. lie appears to have been animated by ,notices the im st patriiitie, stimulated by the laudable desire of being, himself instrumental in promoting the te.iroar of his country. and of elevating that branch of the .ervlce with which he was p.rsonally connected. " After much deliberation and several consultations, Ala) cilcalations furnished titan the• same quaver ' Captain St ckcori d ti. rm i ne d u p on th e construction o f gun of the pro owed dimensions, fur the purpo-e of testing the ()pinions of f.cientific men by the results of xtierence. A catinon was accordingly made at the 'ders,• 3 7 works, of Yorkshire iron, which, being approved tf, was. shipped to the Hefted States. Having la:t:n pro p erly pr-pared for the pureose, this gun was carried to sai-dy Hook and subjecte . d to what was deemed the -. - Toper test. After the fist firi:Pg, preparations were !wit - I.p to mount the gun. In doirEr this a crack was per ed opposite the ohimber, which induced Captain stockton to have the breech strengthened by putting around it. 't hese bands are represented as being ree and-a-half ini•hes in thickness. With this addi ion a str , ngth given to the deliictive part of the gun, the experiments wer:• renewed, and the result a decided Pony fiction up n the minds of al connected with them, hat, in general, the anticipations of Captain Stocktott sere p'xf; -ctly realised ; and, , econdly, that it a gun of his construction should y;eld to the force of the trial, it. s - ould he by a simple (letting!, and not, a., in cast iron, a aiol-nt disruption and , cattering• of time fragments. " The success of thee' experiments was such as to. !eei , le Captain S,oekton forthwith to direct the con- Aructicn of another gun of a similar character, to be 'mule of American iron, which is usually regardod as -uperiur in strength atid, ten..city to the English iron. se.-2ond gun (the same which exploded on board he Princeton) was constructed with a chamber similar to that of the first gun, with an additional thickness of twelve inches at the breech—a: difference, even if the natal were only of equal goodness, far more than suffi lent to comp,nsate for the bands by which the first had ;)een fortified. " Application was made to Colonel Bomford. of the ordnance department of the army, who, it is well known, has been processionally occupied in experimenting upon suns of a large calibre, and his opinion requeted as to the proper proof to which such a guit of c.:tit to be sub iected. The proof suggested by ColontlßomfUrd as a suitable one, will be found in his letter of November 25, 1840, appended to the record. The new gun con structed by order of Captain Stockton exceeded in di mension and weight, consequently, should also have 4urras-ed in strength that contemplated by Colonel Bomford, they being of the same calibre, and the proof to which this cannon was subjected was much more severe than what was proposed as sufficient by that ex perienced offic. r." The Bi•hop of LONDON has lately addressed a Pastoral Letter to the clergy of his diocese on the subject of the erection of new churches, which he states to be the one great want of the metrop(lis and its suburbs. After mentioning that a. sum of, up wards of a hundred and fifty-eight thousand pounds ,as already been subscribed for this purpose, he de •lares it as his fixed opinion that the subscription s not halt extensive enough, and that another must .e got up without loss of t'me, inasmuch as his netropolitan 11,,ck—poor, destitute, benighted crea ,ures !—are absolutely famishing for lack of spiritual " More Church !" is consequently the ,ued,..n of the episcopal song. The temporal welfare ,f the numerous flo , :k entrusted to his charge appears o he wholly beneath the sublime consideration of :heir ghostly shepherd; he has regard only to their nrecious souls, whose lamentable condition he says, Nith infinite pathos, wrings his pious boson with tnguish. "I &sire," he tells his clergy, "to renew ny appe4l to the members cf the Church, in my own nocese, as well on the ground of the fearful extent of lesfitution yet unsupplied, as of the success with the Divine:blessing has crowned a former ffort. It was not to be expected that the planting of .;liurches and clergymen in the teidst of a poor, igno ,;int, long-neglect,d poi , ulation, would at once produce .11 the ben,- ficial eff. cts which; we doubt not, will .iltimately result from that provision. To break down tie mass of ignorance and vicious habits which has eTn accumulating for a long series Of years, must weds he a work of time. It may perhaps be doubted hether any very striking as :ge will be wrought ill a new generation -hall have grown up under the iurture and discipline of the Church." It is mani 'lst, fr:m this passage, that to "more Church," and -‘ more Church" only, the good Bishop trusts for the nnprovement of his flock. This is his great :anacea for all their sufferings—the sole reme dial measure in which he appears to have the slightest faith. It is with considcrable diffidence that we ven ture to differ from so august an authority, but we cannot help thinking that the temporal interests of his Hock stand far more in need of the Bishop's vigilant attention that their spiritual ;interests. Hundreds, possibly thousands of them —more especially those who reside in the crowded neighbourhoods of Bethnal green and Spitalfields—are at this moment in the most wretched state of destitution, and what will " more Church do for them ? Will it furnish them with clothes to appear in at Divine service—will it put bread into their mouths—give them the means of supporting their families—or pour the sunshine of content and happiness into their homes, when the ghastly fiend, Poverty, sits grinning, an "unbidden :.;•uest," by their hearth ? Certes, more Church" is In excellent thing in its way—particularly to the food Bishop, whose power and patronage will be thereby wondrously increased—but "more bread" is, or should- be, the first consideration— flore means of innocent enjoyment—more comfort and peace of mind. Let the Rigt Rev. Prelate first direct hia attention to these bufftaut natters, and theii his flock will be in a fitter condition to reap the spiritual benefits of " more Church." But a hungry belly is in no mood to derive advantage from attend ance at Divine service ; and rags—which are prover bially sensitive—are but, too apt to feel that they are somewhat out of place among the Respectables in the House of GOD. But why this demand for "more Church," on the part of " CHARLES JAMES LONDON," when the metropolitan churches, with which we are already blest, remain only half filled, and not a few of them are in the worst state of dilapidation ? In St. Stephen's, Walbrook, for instance—as was pub licly mentioned at the last parish meeting—the rain actually comes through the roof, the matting is torn, the pews are, many of them, broken, and the very pulpit itself is in such a state •of decay, that it would not surprise us, were Doctor CROLY, one fine Sunday, in the midst of his sermon, to fall through on the astonished head of the clerk be neath ! Now, would it not be as well to repair our present churches, and see that they are well filled, be fore we proceed to build new ones ? The Bishop, it is to be feared, will think otherwise; and we are at no loss to understand his motives, which, though disin terested perhaps in the main, are not wholly unin flueNced by the pleasing consideration of increased power and patronage. We cannot allow the finding of the Coroner's jury on the late "Extraordinary Suicide in Fleet street," to pass out of public notice, without expressing our entire concurrence in the rebuke which that verdict embodied. So far as we can collect the facts from a perusal of the evidence, we certainly can arrive at no other hut the appalling conclusion it so emphatically records. " That the deceased (a young woman) committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary in sanity, induced by the cruel and heartless conduct" —of a person who was described as a 8.D., and a cu rate in holy orders in the Church of England—is the declaration upon oath of twelve respectable jurors resident in the immediate neighbourhood within which this catastrophe has tu.ppened. An evil sign of evil times—unhappily not an isolated one, but of a class of recent cases whose name is "Legion." The young man thus disgracefully reflected upon—having very coolly and circumstantially admitted a former guilty intimacy with the deceased—so deported him self in the course of his examination and testimony that the "finding" we have already quoted proceeded in these words :—" and we are compelled to express our strong disapprobation of the flippant and unfeel ing manner in which that gentleman's evidence was given on Monday last" The Coroner, too, in sum ming up, said that " he could not but find fault with this person's conduct towards the deceased, as ad mitted by hirneron Monday last, who, on her ap pealing to him I , r his infrreession, said, 'lf you confess that you have robbed my brother, I will see what I can do for you.'" No evidence was adduced to lay any ground of probability for the cruel charge involved in this insidious offer. The counsel for the Divinity Bachelor affirmed that his conduct to the unhappy woman had been all that was generous and considerate. The evidence of a party who overheard the dispute between him and her on the night preceding the morning of the suicide, by reason of the thinness of the partition which separated the room of the listener from that of the liti gants, was direct as to language addressed to the de ceased by the rung clergyman (!) of the most brutal and callous character. The whole story, as given by the young man himself, confirms the im pression avowed by the jury of the utter heartlessness and cruelty wi'h which he had conducted himself in this affair ; and one feels that a more awful responsi bility attaches to him on account of the premature fate upon which the deceased_precipitated herself, than even of the nature of the connexion which he had formed with her. We cannot avoid the conclusion, that this last case of clerical delinquency—like the scandal (with which the public has been made, within these few weeks, so familiar) of the Re v. Mr. MARSH'S incontinency, and the Rev. Mr. DAY'S detestable propensity for cutting and maiming his neighbours' sheep—calls impera tively upon the hierarchy of the Established Church really to " set their house in order," at least to the extent of better regulating the moral and private con duct of inferior functionarir's. It is all very well for Primates and Bishops to deplore the inaufficiency of any effective powers in the heads of the Church to enforce moral discipline and decorous, pious, and orderly living among their clergy; but the Church labours under ore liability common to all other institutions connected with the State ;—if she he not speedily reformed from within, she will he rudely, but exten sively reformed from without. Instead of attempting to juggle the public by such a Bill as that now before Parliament, professing to regulate and remodel the Ecclesiastical jurisdiction, Sir ROBERT PEEL should originate some bona-fide measure maturely adapted to such a purpose; and entrust its conduct (if he cannot retain its management himself) to hands beyond the reach of suspicion or the imputation of interested mo tives. This question must again be brought before Parliament and subjected to the most earnest and searching discussion. In like manner, if the Primates and Bishops of the Church be not in the meantime able to devise some better tests of moral competency and personal conduct prior to the ordination of clerks, or some surer guarantees for the due maintenance of these qualifications afterwards, the Church itself will speedily lose much of its hold on the affections and respect of a vast proportion of its present flock. The cases of delin quency to which we more particularly allude are, we freely admit, disgraceful exceptions to the general rule by which the demeanour of the "order" is governed. But the truth is, that these ex ceptions have become so numerous as to weary, to disgust and resentment, the outraged patience of the public. It is not in these times—in this country, at least—that such offensive exhibitions of immorality and misconduct, among a class to whom we are ac customed habitually to look for our examples of "piety and holiness of living," can be thus repeated with impunity. Society has little toleration to spare for vices or follies which are so injurious to its own best interests and private respectability. I3ut.when they who indulge in them, under circumstances, too, that must necessarily bring the details of their cases before the public, are found in the ranks of our clerical pastors, they must be classed among the most inexcusable and most mischievous offenders against public morals. Madrid journals of the 29th ult. have been re ceived, but they furnish no additi ,, nal intelligence from Carthagena. The country from all accounts r. mains perfectly quiet, with the exception of some slight disturbances at Tafalla and Zalamea, which were speedily suppressed by the military. According to advlces from Portugal, Almeida still held out. The be'iegers, as stated in a letter received from that place, have been reinforced by 600 infantry, 150 cavalry, and some artillery. Though the blockade is a little closer, one can still enter and quit the fort ress very easily, so that the insurgents are not in %ant of provisions, and are not deprived of all com munications. They made a sortie five or six days ago, and seized upon a quantity of bread and money destined for the blockading troops. The brigade of observation is still in the same position, and the arti'lery has not yet played. On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. were done at 351 for cash, and 36 11-16 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 234. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Thursday a lengthened discussion took place, on a motion for the abolition of the stamp duty on newspapers. It was brought forward by M. DE MoNTLAviLLE, said to be one of the proprietors of the Siec/e, who con tended that the principle had been recognised by some of the leading men of the age, and among others by M. GulzoT and M. BARTHE. Though the prce of journals had, in many instances, been dimi nished still they were out of the reach of the lower classes, while among these the press might be of the greatest service, in making them acquainted with their moral and political duty. The motion was op posed lay the Mini s ter o f Fi nan c e , and su pp o rted by result M. DE LartARTINE, when the Chamber divided, but the numberst.

In other respects, also, the next regatta will be superior to those which have pre ceded it. Hitherto prizes of various amounts have been given, and have been competed for by the Thames men and the provincials indiscriminately. Owing to their want of practice and other unfavourable circumstances, the latter have almost invariably been signally defeated. In the next re gatta prizes for provincials alone will be awarded, the Thames men being excluded. Some encouragement will, therefore, be extended to them to visit London, for the pur pose of engaging in further struggles.

The report of the )perations of the Company since its institution was read.

It results, from the report, that there can be no doubt of the success Of tie colony. The Senate, in its sitting of yesterday, adopted, after some debate, the project of law relative to the Polder of Lillo. It then proceeded to the discussion of the project of law on the examining jury. The general debate was closed, and that on the articles fixed for to-day.

MEETING OF THE INSTITUTE OF FINE ARTS. • The annual meeting of this Association was held on Saturday evening, in the Council-room of the Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi. Emerson Tennant, Esq., M.P., was called to the chair, and the business of the evening commenced. A letter icso read from Sir M. A. Shee, the President of the Royal Academy, stating that in consequence of his advall• cing age, and the attention which his duties as. Presi dent of the Royal Academy required; he was pre'. vented from accepting the office of Vice-President-9f the Institute of Fine Arts which he had been invited to accept. The Secretary then read the annual report of the Council, which stated that. after a lapse of a year, the Council had reason to hope the most cheering results to art form the influence of the institution. Eligible premises had been taken for the institute in Newman-street, with * reading-room for the members, and a library was also in progress of formation. A petition to Parliamiat for increased means of acquiring knowledge in al was stated to be on the eve of presentation, PI through it a lasting benefit is expected to be conferred on the arts of this country. Artistic information, con', sidered to be important, has been communicated to the. Commissioners of Fine Arts, and an extensive- corre" spondence had been established with eminent foreign professors of art. The announcement that the nage ber of members had increased last year from 110 to 300 was received with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN then ardressed the meeting, and la a very appropriate speech, remarked upon the lel' portance of cultivating a taste for the fine arts in. Et4gland. He alluded to the aid which decorative art gives to the manufactures of this country, a nd the diffusion of pure taste amongst the people Pi sculptors, painters and engravers, V-rough the medial. of manufacture rs , an d h e sa id he felt confident tha t manufacturers must be improved, and consequeatlY prosper, through the influence and assistance' of society like that. Mr. PARK. the sculptor, then read a paper entitled' Triumph of the Anglo-Normanspropesr: series of sculptures to occupy the whole range of Ow wall of the projected court inclosing the New Palace'r yard, with groups and single statues in advance, mark" Mg different ages, discoveries, and characteristics; t o he executed in Ravacciene marble, the use of bron zebeieg opposed to the perpetuity of art from the temptLation to destroy offered in the value of the material. Mr. Pard . proposed that a continued line should b e f orme d rotw the court, not higher than 10 feet, within which far tures in bas-relief should be received, and that on pr. destals should be placed statues and groups, so ai S i posed as to he seen all roun d. The bas reliefs ell . statues would combine to illustrate the.manners an costumes, and the historical and poetical characteristi c '. of the people, from the earliest ages of antiquity doisl‘ to the present time. Mr. TEMPLETON next read a paper " On ; the mission of Works of Art in Churches." After villic t Mr. Finden was called to the chair, and the thanks ° the meeting being voted to Mr. Tennent, the assel' ie bly separated. . THE PIRATE OF THE MEDITO' RANEAN. ea There has, on tyeral occasions, lately appeor„ some brief particu s respecting the darin g depreus i tions of a Greek piratical vessel up the Mediterr y rean. Already have several foreign ves s el s b ee n re; ,sacked, and an English barque su n k by h e r, a nd tu a within the space of a very short time. From thel: scriptions given of thi s vesse l b y comman d ers of vie sell who have e ith er b een p l un d ere d or c h ase d by Wi t ,' is rather s i ngu l ar th a t none o f h er Majesty's We of-war have yet come athwart her. But her el hitherto, shows the ingenuity and deep deceptioillp, must be compelled to resort to to elude the 'nen' o o t war ; still, it is somewhat surprising, that she has g ir , been taken. By a letter received at Lloyd's . P it turday, from Malta, dated the 28th of March last , appears that the Clipper, Captain Hanitnc t ° arrived there from Liverpool, had been chaseS l 4, a suspicious looking barque on the 2d of that rnen7 off Cape Passare, and from certain circumstances 5 48 tending the chase, the one in que s ti on , there is 'l t o ' , doubt, is that seen in this instance. Captain . 'ita mond states that when first seen she had her' CO'tup clewed up Nsith her topsails on the cap, hut up o 2 Do i hauling to the wind, she immediately courses, hoisted her topsail and set top-gallitnt Pr e i; and gave chase after him. He was compelled to t a e li ,three times, and only escaped upon several , ve lf heaving in sight. When first seen she was about ¢, mile distant, by which Captain Hammond WO She bled to note her appearance more particularly. ; e 1 had a small heart painted white on her stern,•sh"th no boats, and, from.the rapidity of her inovelo,s e , must have been well-manned.
