WOODTHORPE. Last night another performance took place upon the Serpentine in Hyde-park, which was attended with serious accidents to several persons. There } seemed some probability of the weather changing, for towards 10 o'clock there was a slight fall of sleet or snow ; but several thousand persons, in cluding ladies, lined the greater portion of ice on the Serpentine. Nearly 1,000 yards, from the cas cade to the bridge, were studded with tents, amuse ment courts, several military conical tents, fires in large iron machines for " deviling" chops, steaks, &e. , Thousands of persons formed themselves into procession, headed by a band of bellringers , 4nd a brass band, and, after passing up and down the river for some time, the skaters going through some exttaordinary evolutions, such as fast skating, fancy skating, quadrilles, and the " Female Volunteer Battle Race," &c., the whole party returned at railway speed to the east end of the river, and having formed themselves into military companies, they went through various exercises, and at length the word of command was to ftdvance. The ladies, the gentlemen, and the roughs then wheeled first to the right, then to the left, and having formed themselves into az immense square, the sport of the night began, A Royal salute having been fired, the bellringers and the brass band struck up " God save the Queen ;" after which fireworks, consisting of nearly 1,500 ser pents, crackers, squibs, &c., were discharged at one time. The irst attack, a very dangerous one, was upon the spectators on the north and south shores, and several persons were injured by the fireworks striking them in the face and eyes. A great num ber of persons, probably over a dozen, were conveyed to the Receiving-house with cut heads. The - ice is now 13 inches thick. PRICE 47 .

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That a GENERAL MEETING of Proprietors of the Law Life Assurance Society Will be held at the Society's Office, Fleet-street, London, on SATURDAY, the 2d day of February next, at twelve o'clock at noon precisely, pursuant to the . provisions of the Society's Deed of Settlement, for the purpose of receiving the Audit• Annual Report of the Accounts of the society up to the 31st day of December, 18,1(1 ; to elect a Trustee in the room of John Henry Canceller, Esq., deceased ; and a Director in the room of Richard Richards, Esq., deceased; and for general pur poses. 120,000 0 0 £6C0,000 0 0 The Director to bC chosen in the room of Richard Richards, deceased, will remain in office until the 24th day of June next.

The wind was north-east, and during the morning exceedingly piercing. The other parks were much Crowded'. There has been another considerable fall of sn ow in the Midland Counties, and the cold is again• as severe as ever. The thaw which set in on Friday continued up to Sunday, when the frost again re turned, and at night a slight fall of snow took place which continued up to the following morning, com pletely covering the earth for the third time since the commencement of the frost with a white mantle. The frost has now lasted exactly a month. It has created great destruction in the gardens. Potatoes are very generally frosted. In some places they had not been raised when the frost set in last month, and, as the ground is frozen to some depth, these must be all destroyed. The shrubs and ornamental trees have suffered to a remarkable extent by the frost and snow. A cutting wind blows from the east, and the sports on the racecourse have been renewed. These, as described in The Sun of last week, give entertainment to a vast number of persons, while the unemployed labourers, watermen,. gardeners, and bricklayers pick up a hard living by waiting upon the skaters, sweeping the snow off the ice, supplying torches, &c. The Severn is frozen over, and people walk over its surface daily. The canals also have been frozen up for a fortnight, so that the fresh water navigation of the district is com pletely put a stop to. At Nottingham (Wednesday) the frost continues extremely severe. Since the thaw on Sunday snow has fallen, which will to some extent protect the young wheats from the intensity of the cold. For the past three days there has been a strong east wind, and at present there is no indication of the frost breaking up. - The old easterly wind, with hard frosty weather, has returned at Portsmouth, after a short visit of southerly breezes, with increased strength and sharpness. On Monday and Tuesday nights espe cially the wind blew at times a perfect gale, moderating on both days during daylight, but still blowing heavily to leeward. Yesteetav the wind had got in to the E.N.E., and the cord wa s intense, which was felt at Itycle perhaps more keenly than in any other portion of the south con st. At sunset yesterday the wind was, as on the two previous days, increasing in force, and there was every prospect of a rough night, with a freezing head wind to homeward-bound ships to England. The following are the readings of a thermometer during the past six days under a verandah in a sheltered position out-of-doors :- 11th inst., at 8 a.m., 23 ; 12th, 34 ; 13th, 38 ; 14th, 32 ; 15th, 28 ; 16th, 24. The thaw which set in in some parts of South Yorkshire at the end of last week has been suc ceeded by a sharp frost, which was intense on Tuesday night. Navigation, which was expected soon to be opened, still remains closed, with every prospect of a continuance. Distress is acutely felt by the watermen and others engaged in navigation, and at Doncaiter, Thorne, and ,other places, relief has been largely administered. By order of the Directors. WILLIAM SAMUEL DOWNES, Actuary. £11,037,288 11 4 SOCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This Society derives its origin from the following cause : That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and the numerous existing charitable associations, human beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die miserably of hunger and the want of the common neces saries of life. To prevent as far es possible the recurrence of an evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the poor, by siding and increasing the power of existing local institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legitimately telong to them alone, to aid the police and the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing charitable associations those cases for which their several institutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the clergy—ministers of all denominations, medical profession, or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the central office. The promoters of this movement now come forward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise- Worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds, which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

Taylor, who resides at New Holland, falling off, the lower part of his body being underneath the engine. The driver was pitched upon a hedge, his head being severely cut. The tender was also upset, but it laid in such a position as to form an arch, under which the stoker crept, by which means he escaped uninjured. Next to the tender were three vans laden with fish, all of which were thrown over, the contents being strewn about in all directions. After the fish vans were the passenger carriages, in the first of which were several passengers. On either side of the seat nearest the engine two men were sitting, one of whom was Mr. Chas. Clarke, wheelwright, of Horncastle—the son of this gentleman sat on the seat opposite. The passengers were first made aware that something was amiss on hearing a loud bump. Mr. Clarke at once jumped over the seat in front of him, and no sooner had he done so than the middle of the end of the carriage was forced in with a ter rific crash, Mr. Clarke, jun., having both his legs severely injured. The father escaped with a few bruises, but there can he no doubt that had he not taken the precaution to move from his position he would have been crushed to death. None of the other passengers were injured. Both lines of rails were completely blocked np by the shattered car riages, and consequently the guard (Mr. Pearson) at once proceeded to Lincoln, the majority of the. passengers accompanying him. On Mr. Hawkins, the station master, being made acquainted with the particulars of the accident he at once sent for Dr. Lowe, and that gentleman, with two assistants, proceeded to the scene of the melancholy' occurrence about a quarter of an hour afterwards, accompanied tit l e station a great number of persons employed at tihlee. station and others. On reaching th e s p ot, terrible nature of the accident was at. cute of . the . broken well be apparent. Fish and portions vans were lying about in all dire_c d tions, th e which was upon the " smash" being as complete as cou l d imagined. The poor cleaner was found under the and upon examination it and shoulders had been engine, the whole weight of lower w as fo p u a n r d t frightfully scalded ; . i h s is bo h d e y a l d there can be no doubt, how frightfully ever, that his sufferings were only momentary. It was= found imp ossible to extricate the body, there not being me ans at hand to ra i se th e ponderous engine . The injured man and the remainder of the passengers were then brought to Lincoln, and the w ounds of the driver were dressed in the refresh ment-room at the station, Mr. Clarke , jun., being in the meantime removed to the Lion Hotel. On examining the latter sufferer it was found that he had sustained an extensive bruise on the ri • ght shin, and that his left thigh was torn nearly from the knee to the hip, the wound being of a serious cha racter. Fortunately no bones were broken. Hopes aro entertained of Mr. Cl ar k e ' s recovery , b u t it i s feared lie will be unfit to be removed for some weeks. A number of men were sent for the purpose of dig ging out the unfortunate man, whe, we understand, rode on one of the carriages until the train reached Langworth, four miles distant from the place where the accid en t occurre d. If i s u s ua l, we be lieve, to place the passenger carriages next the engine, and had not the railway officials deviated from this rule on the present occasion many lives must certainly have been lost.

NOBLE'S BUST OF CROHIVELL. well-known mask taken upon the real face after Crom well's death; which mask, however reliable for the shape and proportions of that fallen and marred visage from which the mighty soul had fled, could scarcely have served, without the aid of those portraits from the life, to give vs any notion of the man's proper countenance as he looked to the world's eyes 200 years ago. Combining these with several other sources of information, we have a most pre possessing and, in our judgment, a characteristic figure of him who was not only our uncrowned monarch, Protector, Dictator, Dodge, Captain, or President, but also the stout and large-hearted Englishman, Oliver Cromwell, whose memory is worthy of immortal gratitude and respect. Of him, or of another person, the modern evangelist of hero worship, has touchingly though so quaintly said, "he was our brother, and a good, not a bad man." And moreover as a great one, his remembrance should be freshly and vividly kept in our sight. It is a dutiful and laudable care to preserve by diligent study, and by the imaginative, divining, and restoring power of art, the visible lineaments of his once mortal body. That face which kin dled with noble enthusiasm to deliver England and the Christian community from the civil and spiritual bondage then threatening both the State and the Church—that front which bore the furrow's of huge anxiety and labour, and which was seamed with the blaze of battle for the sake of our commonwealth—which baffled all treasons and brow beat all enemies of this country as long as Cromwell lived, could beam with mild good-humour on his nearest and most trusty companions. In this mood we seem to find him in the bust which will probably soon be exhibited to public view. BAILTVii I'S AND PUBLIC COMPAIVIES. DR. CURTIS' MEDICAL W( )RW, MANHOOD: A MEDICAL ESSAY .

" Should Cromwell have a statue ?" That, we remember, was a question much debated when the effigies of all our English monarchs, some of whom were nothing more than kings, and were even something less than men, had to be catalogued for the proposed muster of marble representa tives of the national sovereignty, in the palace or old West minster, their proper seat and home. It was then held, conformably to the legal fiction of an unbroken continuity of succession to the apostolic prerogatives of royalty, that the very substantial reign of the Lord Protector, which produced some of the most valuable reforms in our statute book, and in our judicial administration, should be omitted for the sake of a ceremonious or pedantic scruple, and his torically ignored Yet it night have been expected that the Fine Arts Commission, though more courtly than par liamentary in" their spirit, would at least have made room for a mighty English statesman, for a member of that House of Commons which maintained our liberties against the despotism of an oppressive wearer of the crown, along with Selden and Hampden, whose images stand guard at the door of St. Stephen's-hall—along with Somers, Chat ham, Burke, and Charles Fox, whose political existence would not have been possible with counsels and resolu tions of the Long Parliament in the century before. The dilettantism which feebly directed our miserable attempt to ornament the dwelling-house of British legislation with artistic shows of the chief events and chief personages in the annals of our growing glory did not exactly see it; and Cromwell the patriot soldier, Cromwell the citizen dictator, has no statue anywhere in the country which he served—which, perhaps, he saved. Will the people of Italy raise no statue to their Garibaldi, when future, ages shall have ripened the fruit of his planting in their soil which he has helped to clear ? Only by conceiving such an instance of neglect hereafter in refe rence to a hero and public benefactor whose virtues are to us now thus present and familiar can we realise the awk ward and invidious dereliction of which we must appear to remain guilty, until some conspicuous monument of the most commanding genius who ruled English policy in the most critical moment of our history is somewhere reared. Somewhere —be it at Westminster, or in the City, or at Huntingdon, or on Naseby field—where a simple obelisk is erected to tell how " the good hand of God towards us," on the 14th of June, 1645, destroyed the last chance of tyranny in our brave and busy land. There is no statue of Cromwell, nor any worthy picture of him (except a doubtful one of Vandyke's, in the British Museum) open to the grateful view of the people in our places of public resort. The selfish and perfidious king, who was prevented by Cromwell's decisive energy from crushing with a force of Irish and foreign soldiery the whole Lords and Commons of this realm, sits placidly mounted upon his steed at Charing-cross, while the last of the Royal Georges is riding at the opposite corner of the square ; but as true a monarch, and a truer man than either of them, has no place in town or country to stand afoot. By the liberality of a Manchester gentleman, Mr. T. B. Potter, of Builehill, the Peel Park Museum at Salford is now, we believe, to be enriched with a fair bust of Cromwell, the original cast of which, having just seen it in Mr. Noble's studio, Bruton-street, we are glad to be able to approve. It is morlded of the size of life. There is the expression of life in its countenance,and what we seldom get from sculp ture, a glance of life in the eyes. It may occur to some visitors when they first look at the robust features of this face, that, massive and strong as they are, they do yet wear a certain aspect of frank, jolly grace and manly tenderness, which comports not with the vulgar conbeption of a turbu lent and sturdy " barbarian," as Oliver Cromwell has been termed in the euphonious style of Mr. David Hume. But recollecting the juster impressions of his character which Mr. Carlyle and recent biographers (Mr. Langton. Sanford, the last and one of the best) have aided us to form that ob jection vanishes, which might perhaps unconsciously arise from some lingering shade cast upon him in our imagina tion by the Epicurean Tory's aimless epithets of slanders. For Cromwell was a very full and whole natured man— one of a genial, hearty, affectionate disposition ; he was not the hard fanatic, or the coarse, brutal stormer, that his enemies would have taught posterity to believe. He was warm in all the loves of domestic and social life, as a son, husband, and father, as a familiar comrade or intimate friend. Deliberative, or stern, or vehement, or boisterous and frolicsome by turns, there was a fascination in his cor dial manner which few who met him could withstand. In the " Memorials" of Bulstrode Whitelocke, and in the tes timony of others who shared the great Protector's hours of relaxation in the temperate cheerfulness of his household, we have positive evidence of the real good-nature and kindly affability of the man, Not like a rude boor or brewer's son, but like a gentleman of birth and breeding, as good as the foppish Cavaliers, he delighted in the encouragement and enjoyment of literary conversation, with Milton or Andrew Marvell by his side ; he loved to hear fine music, to inspect and to reward ingenious artists ; he bought for us the car toons of Raphael, and he patronised one of the best of all miniature painters, Samuel Cooper, who has given us the true portrait of Cromwell on which a sculptor of our day has relied as the foundation of his design for this bust. The readers of that collection of Cromwell's " Letters and Speeches" which David Hume pronounced by anticipation would form, if ever they should come to be printed, " or of the most nonsensical books that ever existed," wi. doubtless remember the engraving which Mr. Carlyle has chosen to prefix to the first voluMe ; it is a likeness of Cromwell bare-headed, in armour, taken from one of Cooper's miniatures; but there is another by the same artist, belonging to Earl de Grey and Ripon, which is to be preferred. This one gives him also with loose flowing hair, but clad in plain doublet and bands, with features perfectly resembling the former, but with an easier, more relenting, and amiable expression, as though in tranquil converse with his private friends. It is that of which Mr. Noble has mostly availed himself, assisted by the NORFOLK AND EASTERN UNION. The directors of these companies think it proper and necessary to lay before their shareholders the following list of railways affecting the associated companies which are proposed to be submitted to Parliament in the ensuing session :—New lines directly promoted by the Eastern Counties Railway Company-1, cross line from Sudbury to Clare, Haverhill, and Greet Shelford, 314 miles ; 2, extension from Sudbury line to Lavenham and Bury. St. Edmunds, 16 miles ; 3, Branch to Wisbeach Harbour, 11 miles—total, 491 miles, with a proposed capital of £600,000. New lines indirectly promoted by the Eastern Counties Company—viz., cross line from Bishop's Stortford to Dunmow and Braintree,lB miles, capital £120,090; under ground line from Eastern Counties to Finsbury-circus, mile, capital, £600,000 ; East Anglian Extension from Lynn to Hunstanton, 14-i miles, capital, £60,000 ; branch from Audley-end to Saffron Walden, 1/ miles, together 36 miles, making with the preceding 85 miles, and the capital £1,405,000. The lines promoted by new companies are the " Direct Bury," from Fenchurch-street station to Bury St. Edmunds, and branches, 631 miles, capital £600,000; the Mid •Eas tern and Great Northern Junctien (Bury St. Edmunds to Thetford, Swaffham, Lynn, and Sutton-bridge), 40 miles, capital £375,000 ; line from Great Northern at Hornsey to Eastern Counties at Totten ham, 21 miles, capital £120,600 ; Tendring Hundred Exten sion, Brightlingsea, 5 miles, capital £25,000, making 1121 miles and £1,120,000. The new lines promoted by existing companies are the Coln° Valley Extension (Haverhill to Cambridge), 171 miles; ditto (Chapple to Colchester), 71 miles; and ditto (branch to join Clare and Sudbury), 44 miles; together 29/ miles, and £220,000 capital. The report states that the shareholders are aware that for a series of years past it has not been the policy of the Eastern Counties Railway Company (by which the active manage ment of the associated system has been assumed) to promote or encourage any new lines within the district over which the system extends. The effect of this policy is best estimated by regarding its consequences. For a long period loud and reiterated complaints have been made by residents and by the public of want of railway facilities within the district. The traffic of the associated lines has shown no elasticity ; it has not increased in proportion to the increase of other great lines of railway, or even in pro portion to the increased population or commerce of the dis trict itself. Parliament has by no means on all occasions confirmed the policy in which the Eastern Counties has persisted. In several instances Parliament has sanctioned new lines promoted by independent parties, despite all the opposition the Eastern Counties Company could offer. By such concessions Parliament has practically compelled the Eastern Counties to provide railway accommodation for important . districts by conceding lines to other companies with whom the Eastern Counties has been driven to make terms. Despite such warn ings, the Eastern Counties has, during the last ten years, only in one instance taken the initiative in constructing a new line. The North London having proposed an in vasion of the territory by a new line of railway from Hack ney into the rapidly increasing suburbs of Walthamatow and Woodford, the Eastern Counties, knowing that this would be the commencement of a more extended aggression, was com pelled, for self-protection, to propose - and construct the line from Stratford to Loughton, in Essex, passing through the district which the North London desired to accommodate. This Loughton line is rapidly developing a most important traffic. In the session of 1859, the London and North- Western Railway Company, in conjunction with local land owners, promoted a line of railway from Bedford to Cam bridge, with a view ostensibly to serve the district and bring Oxford and Cambridge into direct communicationby a north western route. It is observable that the Eastern Counties formerly obtained Parliamentary powers for the occupation of this country by a line from Cambridge, but allowed such powers to expire. In 1859 they opposed the London and North-Western attempt to get the Country ; and, the Great Northern also opposing, the North-Western failed. But last year, in the session of 1860, the Bedford and Cam • bridge line was renewed, and, the Great Northern not op posing, an act for the construction of the line was conceded by the Parliament. A new entrance was thus obtained, by a great and powerful company, into the town of Cambridge. In the same session of 1859 Mr. Baxter, acting for a body of gentlemen locally interested in the district, promoted a short line of railway from Halstead to Haverhill, in the very centre of the triangle. This line, apparently unim portant in itself, as running through a thinly populated country, and uniting only two small towns, obtained an adventitious importance by reason of the position assumed towards its promoters by the Eastern Counties, who would not consent to work the Halstead line, and this little rail way, 51 miles in length, was ultimately obliged to hire en gines and carriages in order to work its traffic on to the line of its opponent. The company thus treated declared its intention of obtaining retribution. The Celtic Valley and Halstead line pointed from Colchester towards Cambridge, and its promoters, exasperated by the Eastern Counties, openly avowed their intention of getting a direct through route from the one place to the other. The act obtained by Mr. Baxter to extend their line from Halstead to Haverhill was the first step towards attaining this object. The re maining steps will be found in Parliamentary notices given by Mr. Baxter for the ensuing session, for lines which will carry the " Colney Valley and Halstead" from Haverhill to join the North-Western line at Cambridge, on the one side, and for a new line to carry it by an independent and direct route from Chapple into a new, independent, and more convenient high-level station at Colchester, on the other. It is scarcely needful to point out to shareholders that these lines (if carried out, as may be supposed, under London find North-Western and Great Northern auspices) would effect an encroachment in the very centre of the triangle, and would carry, between two of the best towns of the system, Colchester and Cambridge, a direct line of railway, which must divert from the company's other lines of road the traffic passing north-west and south-east over the associated system. The invasion is so obvious, its danger so imminent, and its ultimate effect so apparent that the Eastern Counties' management, aroused at length from its apathy, has found itself obliged to propose, in self• defence, a new line from Sudbury, by way of Clare and Haverhill, to join its Cambridge line at Great Shelford. This projected line runs nearly parallel with what is best known as " Baxter's line," but it does not afford that which " Baxter's line" proposes as the great feature of that scheme, a direct communication between Colchester and Cambridge. The directors of the Norfolk and Eastern Union companies think it right that their shareholders should be apprised that, in proposing this and other lines of railway for the next session of Parliament, the Eastern Counties' management has acted on its own sole responsibility, and, except in a solitary instance, with out consulting the joint committee of the associated com panies or their respective boards. The directors state that they have always been ready and willing to concur in any projects that might bo proposed to them for the protection of the district or the development of the traffic. But while proposing to employ the capital, and while pledging the dividends of their co-partners, the Eastern Counties have not thought it needful even to ask the opinion of those co partners as to the policy to be pursued under circumstances which affect alike all the companies of the associated sys tem. The report then, at considerable length, adverts to the other proposed invasions of the associated companies' district, showing that the " Block lines" proposed by the Eastern Counties Company will neither accommodate the district nor prevent the making of competing lines to meet the local requirements. WEST MIDLAND AND MONMOUTHSHIRE.' It appears that negotiations are pending between the directors of the above companies for leasing the Monmouth shire undertaking to the West Midland Railway. Th e Newport dock is to be Firchas3d by the Monmouth shire Company, and handed over at cost price to thet West Midland Company on the completion of the po- posed arrangement. The terms have not yet be9n arranged, but it is understood that the rent is tb be equiva lent to yielding 6f per cent. on the ordinary capital of the Monmou th s hire, and the managing committee of the latter are to be allowed £1,500 a year for expenses. It is It is proposed to construct an additional dock on the north bank of the Thames, at Dagenham Reach, in. Essex and Kent, at an estimated cost of about £lOO,OOO. . SPOBTIISTG INTELLIGENCE.

Newcastle, Wallace, Schism, Rattlebone, and Wild Rose, from among the heavy weights, have no reason to complain; and the same may be said of Eskdale, Gridiron, Forager, Man-at-Arms, and Chere Arnie, in the middle weights ; while Herne, Van couver, Edmund Kean, Snapdragon, Horace, Flir tation and Sycophant will be a good selection from amongst the lightweights. lam afraid the backers of The Lawyer and King of Kent will find some difficulty in getting out of their investments. A better handicap has not appeared for some considerable time, and it reflects the greatest credit on the care bestowed in judging the merits of each animal by Mr. Topham.
