CUBITT, Mayor.—A COURT of MAYOR and
ALDERMEN, held in the Timer Chardher of the
Guildhall of the City of London, on Tuesday, the 15th day of
January, 1861, and in the 24th year of the reign of Victoria, of
the United Kingdomiof Great Britain and Ireland, Queen &e.
Resolved unanimously, —That this Court, deeply sensible
of the loss they have sustained by the decease of Sir George
Carroll, Knight, Alderman, and President of St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, offer their sincere condolence to his widow.
In expressing their sympathy for the irreparable loss Lady
Carroll has sustained, the Court are desirous of placing upon
record their high appreciation of the honourable and dignified
manner in which their lamented brother fulfilled the duties
of his high position as a Magi.trate and President of one of
the Royal Hospitals, and at the same time their admiration
of his upright character and his benevolent and charitable
disposition, which made him esteemed and valued by all who
knew him. 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.

The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's
Receiving-house during Tuesday night was 23 deg.,
at 9 o'clock yesterday morning it was 25 deg.,_ at
noon .the quicksilver stood at 27/ deg., and at 9 last
night the glass indexes 29/ deg, and the barometer
stood at 31.21 inches. The wind was north-east,
and during the morning exceedingly piercing.
The other parks were much Crowded'.
There has been another considerable fall of snow
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
was 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.

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.

this place several feet high—and toppled over, the
cleaner, a young man named Freak. 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

there can be no doubt, how-
frightfully
ever, that his sufferings were only momentary. It
was= found impossible to extricate the body, there
not being means at hand to raise the ponderous
engine. The injured man and the remainder of the
passengers were then brought to Lincoln, and the
wounds 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. Clarke's recovery, but it is
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 accident occurred. If is usual, 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. No blame appears
to attach to any one, but fuller details will be
adduced at the coroner's inquest.

AN UNSEASONABLE VISITGR.—A few days since,
as Mr. It. Woodland and others were in a wood at Mr.
Duke's, Monk's Horton Priory, Sellinge, they heard a rt,t-
ling among some old wood near them. Onlooking amongst
the wood, they found that the noise proceeded from the
movements of a large adder, or British viper. Although
surrounded by snow and ice, the reptile appeared to have
lost acne of its energy, and was not easily desp,tehed•
tiltimately, the adder was decapitated ; but, what Is very
iemarkable, though the headless trunk Jay exposed to the
cold during the whole of the day, in the evening it was
observed to MOT about.-21Laidstoia Journal.
