Foundering of Another of the West Indian and Pacific Steam Navigation Company's Steamers. This company has lost another of its fleet of steamers, and in the same storm which caused the destruction of the Colombian off the French coast, near Cherbourg, with so disastrous a loss of life. This second ill-fated vessel was the Askalon, Capt. Hoare, a fine iron screw steamship of nearly 1,000 tons burden, bound to Port-au-Prince, in the West Indies, and some of the adjacent islands. Laden with a general and valuable cargo of merchandise, she left the Mersey about a week before the Colom bian, and seemed to have experienced bad weather almost from the commencement of the voyage. On the 14th ult. a fearful hurricane was encountered. The sea broke over the ship, sweeping away the boats and other movables on deck. She continued in this condition for two days, the vessel rolling and straining severely. The sea broke in the skylights, and the water rushing down into the engine-room, put outthe fires. The crew exerted themselves to the utmost, in the hope of keeping the steamer afloat, but on the 15th it was found that she had ten feet of water in the main hold. Providentially, at this juncture the Dutch barke Almonde, bound to Bremenhaven, hove in sight, and seeing the critical condition of the Aska lon, she bore down to the sinking steamer, and after extraordinary exertions, succeeded in taking off the crew, 37 in number, and a passenger, and the Askalon was accordingly abandoned, her position then being lat. 46 50 N., long. 25 3 W. Sin gular to remark the barque had sprung a leak, having encountered the full force of the gale, and but for the presence of the crew of the Askalon she must have gone down, as the pumps had to be kept constantly going, and her own crew:were becoming exhausted. The barque continued on her passage, and, on arriving off Folkestone on Tuesday night Capt. Hoare and the passenger were landed, the crew remaining on board to assist in working her to Bremenhaven. The Askalon was classed A 1 nine years, and, with her cargo, was heavily insured. ANOTHER STEAMER LOST.—Another fine steamer is reported to be lost on the Yorkshire coast, near Scarborough. She is the Volunteer, iron screw steam ship, classed A 1 for 12 years, 670 tons register, and belonged to the same owners as the Cronstadt, which was recently lost with all hands on a return voyage from St. Petersburg. The Volunteer was on a passage from Leith to Rotterdam, and the tele gram states that she was totally wrecked in Filey Bay, a few miles to the northward of Flamborough Head. Terrible Hurricane on the Isle of Man Coast. LOSS OF A SCHOONER AND DESTRUCTION OF THE DOUGLAS BREAKWATER. One of the most terrific easterly storms that have visited this island for some years broke over it on Sunday noon, and has continued with scarcely any abated violence until Monday night. Its ravages have been dreadful, as will be seen by the follow ing. During Sunday there was blowing a strong wind from the eastward, and about noon in creased into a violent hurricane, accompanied by snow and sleet, causing the roads to be impeded to some extent. Some time during the afternoon the Jane and Agnes put into Douglas Harbour, hailing from Ormshead, and bound for Chester, whither she had been driven by the gale ; but, becoming unable to steer against the wind, was driven in here. She anchored behind the breakwater, but the storm in creasing, she began to drag her cable, and was finally dashed with much force against the peer, then rebounded upon the rocks beneath the Imperial Hotel, where she shortly became a total wreck. The crew, conssting of three men and a boy, were saved by means of ropes. Shortly after they had left her she became a heap of broken timber and planks. The most disastrous affair, however, is the almost total destruction of the Douglas breakwater. This structure was originally intended to go into the sea to a distance of 1,100 feet, but this was deemed im practicable, owing to some of the timbers becoming displaced, it being a wooden structure. About one o'clock on Monday morning this piece of engineer ing skill began to give way, and huge piles of balks were hurled with terrific violence from the stanchions which supported and held them in their places, and strewed the whole length of the shore, and in several 1 places through the narrow passages leading from the shore into the middle of Strand-street and Duke street, impeding the pathway. In some cases these passages were heaped up three or four feet in height with these huge balks, and the irons which attached them together were twisted and turned as with a vice, into several grotesque shapes. The break water presents a most dreadful wreck, only 17 up right piles standing out of 45 ; and these are so much damaged that they are worth nothing. A length of about 120 feet has been cleanly swept away. The damage is estimated at about £20,000, which amount it will take to make the structure as complete as it was at the latter end of the week. Besides this, the contractor estimates that he has lost plant, &c., to the value of another £l,OOO. Some of the homes, too, in Strand-street have been flooded by the sea washing in, and chairs, tables, and sofas floated promiscuously about. The damage in this instance is not at present known. The portion of the promenade which has only lately been erected, and was not completed, has sustained severe damage, the sea having washed the upper part of the wall for some distance entirely away, and made a large breach in the wall itself. So great is the mischief caused by this storm that it will be some time ere its full extent is known. The storm abated at mid night of Monday, but on Tuesday night at 12 o'clock, our correspondent informs us, it was again blowing a fresh easterly gale, and it is momentarily expected that the remaining portion of the break water will be washed away.

This return records also the results of the rapid file-firing, and of the skirmishing practice. The shooting is bad in all cases in which the 'figure of merit' is below 50, when the average points in file-firing are under 12, and in skirmishing under 8, and when the time taken to expend 10 rounds in rapid file-firing exceeds seven minutes, it evi dences defective instruction in the platoon exercise.

She will be taken into Portsmouth Harbour and docked before making her official trial of speed over the measured mile in Stokes Bay, and being reported ready for commission. . The Himalaya, iron screw troopship, Capt. Lacy, in the Warrior dock at Portsmouth, is having her bottom recoated with the preservation and anti fouling compositions of Messrs. Peacock and Buchan. When this process is completed the Himalaya will be removed from the dock to make room for the iron frigate Valiant. The Helicon, improved paddle despatch vessel, launched at Portsmouth on the 31st ult. has been placed alongside the Sheer jetty of that dockyard to remove her launching ballast, and prepare for the reception of her machinery. The Salamis, paddle despatch vessel, Commander Francis G. Suttie, is ordered to make a final official trial of her speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, in order to furnish the neces sary returns with which to compare the results that may be obtained in the forthcoming trials of the improved despatch vessel Helicon, ordered, as soon as ready, to make her trials at the same port, under as nearly as may be possible similar conditions. The Rinaldo, 17, screw corvette, Commander Hon. M. H. Nelson, recently arrived at Portsmouth from service on the North America and West India Station, is dismantling alongside the dockyard, and will be paid out of commission on the 10th inst. The Imperial Ottoman squadron now at Ports mouth, consisting of a screw liner and two screw frigates, will commence their trials of speed over the measured mile - in Stokes Bay about the 10th inst. Some 8-inch rifled Armstrong guns are daily ex pected to arrive at Portsmouth for the squadron. A Mackay gun, 7-inch gun, and a Blakely gun, of the same calibre, are about to be forwarded to H.M.S. Excellency at Portsmouth for experimental competitive practice with other guns now on board the Excellent. The results are looked forward to with the greatest interest. The screw steam frigate Narcissus, 89, of 2,665 tons, and having engines of 400-horse power, was placed yesterday (Thursday) in No. 2 dock at the Devonport dockyard, for the purpose of being fitted for the first division of the steam reserve, probably to carry a flag. The iron-cased screw steamship Caledonia, 35, from the steam reserve at Devonport, was placed yesterday in No. 1 dock at Keyham steam-yard for the purpose of remedying some defect in her bottom. The screw steam corvette Cadmus, 21, Captain Alexander C.

Inns of Court• At a meeting of the Board of Examiners appointed by the four Inns of Court to conduct, under clause 2 of the Consolidated Regulations, dated Michaelmas Term, 1863, the examination of persons applying to be admitted as students to any Inn of Court, held in the Parliament Chambers, Middle Temple, on Jan. 25, 1865—it was among other things resolved : " That during the current year an examination should be held in the Benchers' Room, Middle Temple Library, on every Saturday during term, and the Saturday preceding each term, from 10 a.m. till 1 p.m. " That, whenever the chairman should think fit, he might fix one or more extra examinations, and appoint examiners to conduct the same ; and notice of the time of every such examination should be sent to the four Inns of Court. " The two examiners should conduct such examination, of whom one should always be present, and both should be present at any viva voce examination, and they should enter their names and the date of the examination in a book to be kept for the purpose. " That the certificates should be granted and signed by the two examiners who conducted the examination ; and any other examiners who might have been present should not decide on the merits of the candidates, and should not be considered as attending' within the meaning of Rule 9 of the Consolidated Regulations. " That there should be an examination on paper in all cases, and a viva voce examination at the discretion of the examiners ; and that the examinations in [the Latin lan guage should consist of translations by the candidates from one ormore classic authors." In pursuance of the above regulations, examina •tions of candidates will be held in the Benchers' Room, Middle Temple Library, on the following days, from 10 a.m. till 1 p.m. :—April 8, 15, 22, and 29 ; May 6, 20, and 27 ; 'June 8 and 10 ; Oc tober 28 ; Nov. 4, 11, 18, and 25, 1865 ; and January 6, 1866. The Royal Free Hospital. Yesterday afternoon the annual meeting of the governors of this hospital was held in the board-room of the institu tion, Gray's-inn-road. Mr. R. Brown was called to the chair, and the advertisement convening the meeting having been read by the Secretary, The Rev. J. B. OwEN, chairman of the weekly board, pro ceeded to read the 37th annual report, of which the fol lowing is an abstract. It announced the gratifying fact that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales had become a vice-patron of the institution, and recorded an important statement connected with the permanent interests of the charity—namely, that the freehold had been purchased at a cost £5,265 10s. 7d., the funds for which were procured mainly through the munificent contributions and personal exertions of Mr. George Moore. The committee had also to report the steady progress of the hospital in its number of subscribers, on whose support every charity chiefly and most safely depends. The sanitary condition of the hospital and premises had been greatly improved, and it was hoped secured, by the completion of a perfect system of drainage the year before last, at a cost of £1,500. The committee had observed year by year a marked improvement in the cha racter of the nurses in that and kindred institutions as con cerned their increased proficiency, higher tone of moral character, and social status. The committee ascribed that fact as a practical tribute to the personal example and ex perience of an honoured lady whose gallant oversight of the sick and wounded troops at Scutari was one of the least alloyed among the many painful memories of the Crimea. In proof of the yearly extending usefulness of the charity, the committee reported a large increase in the number both of in and out patients during the past year, the total aggregate relieved being no less than 78,000. (Hear, hear.) No remark on the part of the committee could add weight to that significant statement, nor to the huge mass of human suffering and misery alleviated by the medical relief of which it was the exponent. Among the special contributions noticed were those of Miss Cross, a tenth donation .of £3OO ; a second donation of £2OO from the trustees of the Small Debt Society ; a third donation of £lOO from Mr. T. W. Erle ; a second from E. W. of £lOO ; a third of 50 guineas from Messrs. Dent, Allcroft, and Co. ; a very gratifying grant of £375 by the Lords Com missioners of her Majesty's Treasury, being part of a be , quest to her Majesty for the benefit of the poor of Loudon by the late Madame de Lilly ; and the generous contribu tion of £5OO by the lion. Rustomjee Jamsetjoe Jejeeb boy, allotted and paid through Mr. IL W. Crawford, M.P. for the City of London. The committee could not adequately express their sense of the services rendered to the institution by the long-continued supervision of its medical superintendent and founder, Dr. William Marsden. To his intrepid reliance, On the_ principle of a free medical charity that, hospital and every other which subsequently followed owed their existence. The commit tee congratulated Dr. Marsden on the yearly accumulated triumphs of his prescient philanthrophy, and they felt that such great public service demanded commemoration in some more public shape than the insertion in the comparatively obscure columns of an annual report. The incidental dis closures in the police-courts indicated almost daily the ab solute necessity of the hospital in one of the most densely populated districts in the metropolis. The number of ac cidents alone admitted into the wards during the past year was no less than 398. One thousand three hundred of the governors and subscribers had died during the year, and the committee earnestly trusted that their places would be supplied by other patrons. They reminded their sub scribers that the gates of the hospital were equally open to native or foreigner, citizen or provincial. There was no other restriction beyond the means placed at its disposal. (Cheers.) The balance-sheet of the treasurer for the past year showed a total income, including the balance in hand at the last January meeting, of £9,401 ss. The total expen diture had been £9,209 19s. 6d., leaving a balance in hand of £l9lls. 7d ; out of the expenditure £2,759 7s. sd. was for debts incurred in the year 1863, and which had now been paid off. General WATKINS, in moving that the report and balance-sheet be adopted, approved, and entered on the minutes, said that it scarcely needed any words on his part to induce the governors to agree to that resolution. Every one of them must be aware of the great benefit afforded to the public by Dr. Marsden in founding the Royal Free Hospital. At the same time, he did not stand alone in his claims upon their esteem and gratitude. Great credit was due to the medical staff—(hear, hear)—who had relieved the astounding number of 991,000 sufferers during the comparatively short period the hospital had been in exis tance. Their thanks were also due to the weekly board— (hear, hear)—the members of which, while showing a con constant emulation to outdo each other in the discharge of their arduous duties, yet worked together in the most effi cient and harmonious spirit. Mr. G. S. PH ENE seconded the motion, which was una nimously agreed to. Dr. O'CoNsoß, in moving a vote of thanks to the com mittee, coupled with a request that they would continue their services for another year, bore testimony, as a medical officer of the hospital, to the zeal and energy with which the managing committee discharged their onerous and try ing duties. But for their labours the large number of 78,000 new cases could not have been admitted during the past year. Dr. ALEXANDER MARSUN seconded the motion; which was unanimously adopted: On the motion of Mr. W. WARRE, seconded by Mr. J. Bowyer, thanks were voted to the aviditors, with a request that they would continue their services for the ensuing year. Votes of thanks were also passed to the treasurer, Mr. Edwin Marsden, to the medical officers, to the weekly board, and ;to the chaplain; to Mr. Phene for his assiduous attendance to the wards in order to alle viate the sufferings of the patients, and to carry out every suggestion of the founder, chaplain, or weekly board for their comfort; and to the secretary Mr. Smith. Mr. R. STEELE, in moving a vote of thanks to Dr. Mars don, the founder of the hospital, said he had had the pleasure of knowing him for upwards of 30 years, and during that long period had witnessed his almost unremitting labours on behalf of that institution. These labours had enabled him to overcome almost unparalleled difficulties, and from year to year extend the usefulness of the charity. That o w i s va s, he felt certain, a greater satisfaction to Dr. Mar h sd i en ut it mind than any vote of thanks they could offer him, b was their duty to recognise gratefully and re cordially their sense of his great and valuable services. .) General WATKINS seconded the resolution, carried amidst cheers. was . 8 y ( earshhseiicenhr: e the seldom that in the life hospital was established, and it Dr. MARSDEN, in reply, said thavtast 0 t o e r n t t on to a interval,n institution during that lon'g p .Ith he had been enabled to do so, of one man he should be enable;l:t d o . caused by ill he ---1 • far recovered that however, he was now so Ciriviethhias at come to give his best services long time to he hoped for a and he was happy felt that the Royal Free Hospital had to the institution.

He thanked the meeting cordially for the good feeling they had expressed towards him, and would continue to use his best efforts to promote the interests of that noble institution. The proceedings closed with wrote of thanks to the chair- Opening of the Canadian Parliament, t S h P e E G EC ov jt GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S Governor- General General of Canada proceeded in state to the Cham ber of the Legislative Council in the Parliament Building, Quebec, and opened the third session of the eight Parliament of the Province of Canada with the following speech " Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Coun cil—Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,—ln calling you together to resume the performance of your constitutional duties, I desire to express my thankfulness to a beneficent Providence that I am enabled to congratulate you on the general prospe rity and contentment of the people of this province, and the continuance to us of the inestimable bless- ings of peace. " Outrages have been committed on the conunerce and territory of the United States of America by persons who, after the perpetration of these acts, have sought refuge on Canadian soil. " In order to prevent the organisation of any such enterprises within this province, and also to enable me to discharge in an effective manner my duties towards a neighbouring power on terms of friendship with her Majesty, I have seen fit to organise a sys tem of detective police on the frontier line of the United States, and with the same design I have called out for permanent duty a portion of the volun teer force of the province. " Similar consideration s have suggested the pro priety of arming the executive government with stronger powers than it now possesses for dealing with persons who, while availing themselves of the right of asylum which has always been allowed on British soil to political refugees from all foreign countries, may be unmindful of the implied obliga tions which, by their residence amongst us, they contract to obey our laws and to respect the de clared policy of our Sovereign. " A bill framed for this purpose will be laid be fore you, and I ask for it your early consideration. " I am happy to be able to inform you of the zeal and alacrity displayed by the members of the volunteer force when called upon to turn out for active service. "Their conduct shows that the present population of Canada has not degenerated from the manly vir tues which characterise the race from which it de rives its origin, and that it may be relied on under all circumstances, to respond to the call of duty, either for the maintenance of internal order, or to repel foreign aggression. " The commissioners appointed under the provi sions of the second chapter of the Consolidated Statutes of Lower Canada to frame a civil code, and also a code of civilprocedure in Lower Canada, have completed the former part of their duty ; the results of their labours shall be laid before you, and I am informed that the code of civil procedure is in a very advanced state. " The completion of the codification of the civil law, in both French and English, cannot fail to be of great benefit to the inhabitants of Lower Canada by enabling the people of all origins to read, in their own languages, the civil law under which they live, and which hitherto has only been accessible in a language which is not the mother tongue of a por tion of the people whose civil rights are regulated by it. " Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,—The expenditure rendered necessary by calling out the volunteers for active service, and which was unfore seen when the estimates for the current year were agreed to, will necessitate a supplementary vote for that service. " I have desired that an estimate for this purpose shall be laid before you. " I am happy to be in a position to inform you that the financial legislation of the last session has been attended with beneficial results. " The revenue has largely increased, and there leas been a contemporaneous extension of the trade of the province. " I have directed the estimates for the - next finan cial - 3,ietia - - Thict yint -- ttnd . yotr will find .that they have been framed with a clue attention to economy combined with efficiency. " Honourable Gentlemen and Gentlemen,—At the close of the last session of Parliament I informed you that it was my intention, in conjunction with my ministers, to prepare and submit to you a mea sure for the solution of the constitutional problem the discussion of which has for some years agitated this province. " A careful consideration of the general position of British North America induced the conviction that the circumstances of the times afforded the opportunity not merely for the settlement of a ques tion of provincial politics, but also for the simul taneous creation of a new nationality. " Preliminary negotiations were opened by me with the Lieutenant-Governors of the other Pro vinces of British North America, and the result was that a meeting was held at Quebec, in the montii. of October last, composed of delegates from those colonies, representing all shades of political party in their several communities, nominated by the Lieutenant Governors of their respective Provinces, who assembled here with the sanction of the Crown, and at my invitation, to confer with the members of the Canadian Ministry on the possibility of effecting a union of all the Provinces of British North America. "This conference, after lengthened deliberations, arrived at the conclusion that a Federal union of these Provinces was feasible and desirable, and the result of its labours is a plan of constitution for the proposed union embodied in a series of resolutions, which, with other papers relating to the subject, I hove directed to be laid before you. " The general design of a union, and the particu lar plan by which it is proposed to carry that inten tion into effect, have both received the cordial ap probation of the Imperial Government. " An Imperial Act of Parliament will be neces sary in order to give effect to the contemplated union of the colonies, and I have been officially informed by the Secretary of State her Majesty's Ministers will be prepared to introduce a bill for that pur pose into the Imperial Parliament so soon as they shall haveth been notified that the proposal has received e sanction of the Legislatures representing the several provinces affected by it. " In commending to your attenti o n this subject, the importance of which to Y °ursei g ve e s ra I would a and to your descendants it is impossible to e claim for it your calm, earnest, andx exaggerate , impartial con- of which it is const itu ted elierdelements of sideration. strytatew,hiccohinbthineiynginh withinb inhabit h it a s ll area be wa c h o ll ns et ; " With the public men of British North America, it now rests to decide whether the vast tract of coun try strength y s i e no v t: er ita : shall remain in isolated condition, national greatness, providing for the security component parts, and contributing and stability of the empire, or aid, and provinces their present fragmentary and comparatively powerless for inca pable of undertaking their proper sha re o f i mper i a l responsibility.
