Great Fires . —The two great fires that have proved so extensively destructive at Liverpool , it will be curious to the lovers of coincidences to remark , have occurred in ^ the month of September . The former immense one took place on the 14 th of September , 1802 ; and the recent tremendous devastation commenced early in the morning of the 23 rd instant . September , indeed , appears to have been expensively distinguished hi the anpftla of extraordinary fires , as the following few selections may « hew : —Covent-garden Theatre was burnt 20 fch of September , 1808 ; Devonport Dockyard , 27 th of September , 1840 ; Moscow , 14 th of September ( the anniversary of the first terrifio fire at Liverpool 0 and" last , though not least , " undoubtedly , the great are of London— " the fire , " par excellence—occurred IB September , 1666 .

FaTAI liSHf ? K 0 X SW 5 DKBLAND BRIDGE . —Oil Friday evening , Joha Thompson , a tailor , of Sundertoad , in a drunken freafc , € cclared that he would that night rival "Smith , tfce direr , by jumping off Sudexland Bridge , which wrea act he performed . He was ¦ followed by a person who heard him boast of his intention , who strove *• persuade him BOt to do so , at the same time omsttored that Tbesapson was no t sincere , and that be weald not attempt it . la this , however , he was mistaken , as Thompson palledoif his eoat , and ascended ihe railing oa the bridge , while his'companion aad adviser wai a short distance behind him . Assistance was called fox , but before H eoald be effected , he jumped down from the bridge into the river , ^ awards of 100 feet . He was picked up by the police boat , and taken to a neighbouring vpublie-hou&e , and a surgeon sent for . It was found that he had received such injuries from the fall as to leave no hope of his recovory . He died the same night .
Matrimonial Disappointment at Bakrweia . — On Monday last considerable excitement was caused in the quiet town of Bakewell by the following event : —A respectable tradesman of that town had formed an attachment for a young lady of the same place ., and had proceeded so far as to purchase the ring and enter into other arrangements preparatory to the connubial knot being tied ; but the old proverb , " There is many a slip between the cup and the lip , " was doomed to be verified m this instance The young man transferred his affections to another fair one , also residing in the same town , to whom he plighted his troth , " ami made preparations to marry her . The parties accordingly repaired to the parish church of Bakewell for that purposo on the above day , when an obstacle to their marriage was
presented , which for a time , at least , doomed them to experience disappointment . It appeared that the mother of the young lady , who had been so unceremoniously deprived of her intended husband , proceed to the church with her daughter , who is enciente , with the ring in their possession , and attended by a host of witnesses to speak to the faithlessness of the swain . It appeared , too , from the scene that soon followed , that the reverend gentleman who performed the ceremony was not ignorant of the circumstances of the case . When he had proceeded to that part of the ceremonial where it is asked " whether there is any jnst impediment , " ska . the mother stepped forward , and stated her reasons why it Ehould not proceed any further , and the
clergyman deeming her statement good and substantial , acceded to her wishes and dismissed the parties . Although frustrated in their object by so " untoward an event , " they did not give up all as lost , but on retiring from the church set off with tho greatest expedition to Peak Forest in a " fly , " which they had previously engaged to convey them to Matlock after the ceremony should be performed at Bakewell . Whether the parties reached Peak Forest in sufficient time to have their wishes gratified by their union , or whether any other mishap occurred to them , we have not heard . A large concourse of the inhabitants of Bakewell was assembled in the church-yard to witness the novel spectacle . —Derbyshire Courier ,
AWFUL THUNDER STORM . —LONDONDERRY . —On Tuesday night , the 20 th instant , this town and neighbourhood were visited by a severe thunderstorm , which continued during the whole of the night , and till about four or five o ' clock the following morning . Throughout the entire of Tuesday there was very heavy rain , and to-wards the evening occasional flashes of lightning wera seen in a north-easterly direction . About half-past ten o ' clock at night the storm began to gather . The moon ceased to shine , and the atmosphere became heavy , sultry , and stilL Broad flashes of shest lightning burst
forth at intervals , illuminating the dense mass of clouds , and throwing a purple shade along their troubled surface . The scene was one of awful giandeur and majesty . About twelve o ' clock the rain , which bad ceased fur a time , began again te desesnd , and about two or three o'clock in the morning the storm raged with unexampled fury . There has been no injury done by the lightning in this city , as far as we can a-certain . Near Cunningham , however , a man was struck insensible by Lhe electric fluid , but ultimately recovered from the shock . No other injury , we believe , has been sustained in consequence of the storm .
Coleraine . —We were viBited here on Tuesday nit , ht by one of the most terrific thunder-storms that the oldest person in the neighbourhood , with whom I have conversed , bas ever witnessed . Between six and seven o'clock a dense cloud was observed towards the west , from wbich proceeded , in quick succession , vivid flishes of lightning , which , as night advanced , continued to increase in frequency , accompanied by distant peals of thunder , till about nine o'clock , when the lightning became tremendous , and the thunder rattled with appalling effect . A little after ten o'clock it was
perceived that it moved in an easterly direction , and the thunder becoming less audible , the people retired to bed , but they were agam awakened by the tremendous claps of the thunder , which had returned with greater violence than before . The lightning at this time was awful—the rain fell in torrents ; by and by , however , all became calm again . In the morning every person was oa tho alttrt to see if any dam ? 30 had occurred , when , to their satisfaction , it was found that , as fax as known , no injury had been done to human life . In the course of the storm the electric fluid struck
the belfry of the town church , and carried away the top of the south-east corner ; one large stone was broken in two , leaving one-half in its place , while the other was driven to a distance of about 100 feet from the cbnrch : one of the windows , a considerable distance from the spire , was almost entirely shattered ; there are eleven panes totally broken . In the townland of Cloyfin , within about two miles of Coleraine , there were two stacks of corn burnt They stood in separate fields , while , strange to tell , a precisely similar event took place in the neighbourhood of Bushmills , in the
townland of Cavan . The former were in the fields of two persons named Norris , and the latter in fields belonging to Mr . James M'Curdy and Mr . Adam Wales . In the town of Bushmi ? is some houses in progress of erection , belonging to Mr . Gwyne , were seriously damaged . The lightning also entered by the chimney of the house belonging to a man named Boyle , aud forced its way ont of a -window , entirely destroying the window ; part of the tonss were melted ; c pair of scissors , which were in a bag with a bundle of clothes , were also partially melted , and a metal snuff-box in the same bag shared the same fate .
Balltmonet . —A correspondent informs us , that on the morning of the 2 lBt inat-. nt , in the townland of Craig 3 , between Ballymoney and Ballymena , there was killed by lightning the only cow of a poor farmer ; she was standing in the house at the time . The lightning also did some harm in a dwelling-house , striking between a door and a window , and tiaring down a wall tstween the room and kitchen , and smashing a linen-weaver's loom to atoms . The poor sufferer is a widower , with a large family of small children . A subscription has bean moved by Mr . D . A . M'Allistcr , which , we trust , will bring some relief to the sufferers . —Derry SenlineL
PortaDOWN . —The neighbourhood of Portadown was visited on last Sunday night by a thunder storm , accompanied by very violent rain . A good many peals of thunder occurred also during Monday and the eveninn of that day . In the parish of Seagoe , near Drumlin , a family of the name of Bell had a most providential escape . The lightning was seen te strike a large tree , at least two feet in diameter , about twenty feet from the ground . The electric fluid passed downwards through the centre of the tree , dividing it into two almost equal parts , and leaving a mark , very similar to
what would be made by a large saw . In consequence of the inclined position of the ti ^ e , and the superior weight of branches on one of the parts , the edges of the cleft are separated from each other nearly half an inch . A portion of the bark , more than fifteen feet long , and about four inches in breadth , had been separated from the trad :, and drives against the window , a portion of which was forced through the glass close to wher- a woman was sitting . The electric fluid at the same time entered the house , and passed through the opposite -window without doing further injury . — Belfast Ckronide .
Doveb . Justices . —Our justices have received a long letter from the Secretary of Stats for the Home Department , on the sur ject of the late " hair-cropping" caw , in which he desires that his « ' marked disapprobation of the gaoler ' s conduct in that affair should be conveyed to him by the justices . " This unplef « ant tesk in yesterday ( Friday ) performed , by the visiting magistrates reading Sir James Graham ' s letter to the gaoler . We cannot conceive a greater humiliation than it must have been to the justices to be made the medium of communicating to the gaoler this censure of conduct ¦ which , in their gravity and wisdom , they had so recently fully approved ; and what a farce the gaoler must have thought it , that he should now have a sentence of condemnation read to him by the magistrates , some of whom so lately declared him fully justifiable . In
every word of Sir James Graham ' s lettter the magistrates -who dismissed Messrs . Fitzj lines' and Gladstone ' s appeal for justice mast feel their judgment and fitness for their effira impugned . Yet , spite of this " last untendest wt of all , " spite of the universal burst of public indignation , they clhig to the justict-seat , they read over their own and the gaoler ' s condemnation , and they " eal their leek upon compulsions too ; " but they are still Her Majesty ' s justices of the peace . Enough has , perhaps , been done to prevent similar outrages in prisons for the fnture , bnt the poor victims of the Dorer Dogberries are BtiU owedress&d . Will the justices , who now find they ¦ were wrong , make them suitable amends ? We suppose that , at all events ,
even the Mayor , who so hastily advised the gaoler to apply for a certificate , would haidly now grant him that to screen him from the consequences of a civil action ; add yet vre hardly knoir how be could refuse It , if the gaoler , in compliant with his -worship's advice , were to demand it . So « i « t . as we hear , Messrs . Fitijunes and Gladstone have been advised to proceed against the gaoler for redress , there Js another pretty dilemma into which our poor magistrates have plunged themselvw , by making sacred principle ! of justice bend to the supposed expediency of maintaining unimpaired the jbsolute authority of the keeper of the prison . We now take lf&ve of the subject , ¦ wishing the magistrates well ont of their difieaxlttej , —Dover Chronicle .

Coster , plumber , painter , and glazier , High-street , Chatham . Feeling persuaded that the house was on
fire , he knocked at the door , but finding no one answer , immediately alarmed the neighbourhood , and the shop door was soon burst open . The arr having been thus admitted , the whole house was soon in one body of fire . Several engines arrived ; but ewing to the want of water , they were rendered useless until the supply was furnished , brought in beer barrels on drays , from the brewery establishments of James Bish , Esq ., &c . The flames soon extended themselves right and left . The premises occupied by Mr . Cooper , boot and shoemaker , are very considerably damaged , bis stock and furniture not being insured . Mr . Coster ' s stock and furnituro are insured intheK iyal Exchange . The four houses partly destroyed are insured in the Kent .
Fatal Accident on the Exeter Canal . —Thbee Lives Lost . —An accident , attended with fatal consequencep , happened on Monday afternoon , under the following painfnl circumstances . —On Saturdayt- ' ast the men in the employ of Mr . Kerslake , wireworker , of Exeter , celebrated their annual " Way-goose , " and , as is too often the case on such occasions , instead of going to their work on Monday , resolved to make another holiday , and we believe ono only of the number went to work on that morning . They spent the earlier part of the day in orinking together , and in the afternoon they resolved on taking an excursion on the canal ; accordingly about three o / elook they hired two boats at the quay for that purpose . In one of these boats the wives and female relatives of some of the men were embarked , and in the other eight of
the workmen . In proceeding down the canal , the boat in which the females were , and which was rowed by others of the men , shot ahead of the other , snd , when they had passed the last , bridge , before getting to Double Lock , this circumstance was remarked by one of the crew of the hindmost boat , and a determination expressed not to be beaten . One of the men suggested a change with respect to one of the oars , and to accomplish , this a movement was made in the boat . By this movement she was overset , and the whole ot the men were thrown at once into the water . Some of them who were able to swim succeeded not only in getting out themselves ,
bnt in saviug some of their comrades , and in doing this they received valuable assistance from Mr . Satterley , who lives near the spot . Three of the crew , however , unfortunately sunk to rise no more . Their names are Darby , Phillips , and Richmond , the first a tinman and the two latter wire-weavers ; Richmond was for eight years in Mr . Kerslake ' s service , but has lately been working for Mr . Bodley . All the men are married and have children . The bodies were soon taken out of the water by the assistance of several persons living near the spot , and medfeal assistance was promptly at hand , but every effort to recover them was fruitless .

KEIGHLEV . —Death by Machinery . —On Tuesday last , the following melancholy accident happened at the mill of Messrs . Marriners , Greengate , Keighley , to a man named Thomas Hill , a piasterer by trade , residing at Glusburn , near that town . The unfortunate sufferer was , along with two of his sons , whitewashing a portion of the mill occupied by Mr . Thomas Waterhouso , and while working near the principal horizontal shaft , his apron was caught by tho nut of the pully of the shaft , and in a moment he was revolving round along with it . The engin ' eer , hearing the screams of the females and others working in the room at the time , and something like a heavy thump , ran and stopped the engine , bnt too late to

In ten minutes the village was full of police , when lo andbebold ! they were thunderstruck with disappointment , for no Mr . Ridley was to be seen .

Rafter in the chair . Mr . Dyott , secretary , read the minutes of the last day's meeting , and , as several strangers were present , the objects of the asoooiation . He next read some interesting correspondence , and made a few remarks upon the middle-class movement in England . He said he hoped it would be found compatible with Chartism , to accept of Sturgite support ; bnt though they had addressed Mr . Sturge , and been courteously and encouragingly answered , they
the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , had no notion of compromising a single iota of either principle or organization . If , on occasion of the forthcoming Conference , it would be found that the delegates can agree upon an amalgamation , if the followers of Mr . Joseph Starge will waive their childish objections to a name , and having adopted the Charter in substance , having given in their adhesion to the Six Points , will not seek out of mere caprice to re-baptise the movement—( hear)—he for one should most heartily rejoice . But even should they continue so fastidious as to refuse that tide—Chartist—which had now become so renowned throughout Europe—( hear , )—still , as an individual , he would be most happy to acknowledge their ex-, ertions , and laud their sincerity , if they honestly
aud energetically brought their power and influence to bear in favour of justice and the people . ( Cheers . ) Suoh , he thought , was the course pointed ous by common sense , while at the same time he entirely agreed in the just exceptions taken by the editor of the Northern Star to the method proposed for constituting the new Conference . It was quite unfair that electors , constituting about one seventh of those for whom they claimed on the ground of natural right and political expediency , the franchise , should be reckoned as an entire moiety in the proposed assembly—and the introduction of the Leaguers' question into his address had given just ground to the opposers , or rather the suspectors of Mr . Sturge , to believe that , after all , the Chartist agitation was to be made , if possible , subservient to the designs of
faction . ( Hear . ) Under all circumstances , it behoved them to keep a good look-out , and to await the issue in prudent sileuce . ( Hear . ) Their address had been put forward before the propositions of Mr . Sturge had appeared—( hear)—and , therefore , could not be construed into an approval of all those propositions . ( Hear . ) Mr . O'Higgins was of opinion that Mr . Sturge was perfectly sincere , while he freely admitted some of his co-councillors were men of no political steadiness . Fie thought they had acted perfeotly right in praising the Complete Suffrage men ( as they chose to be called ) , for adopting the six points ; beyond that they had not gone , and they never would be led by any party or person , no matter how influential or specious , to desert the
Radical flag —( hear , hear ); the Chartist colours were nailed to the mast , and £ hey would stand by them to the death . ( Loud cheers . ) Mi " . O'Higgins next read an article from the Times , and commented on the fact that the factional prints which a while ago affected to treat Chartism with ineffable disdain , and unqualified contempt , were now filled with nothing else—the Thunderer devoted its leaders to abusing it—misrepresenting its objects—maligning its advocates—and arguing that Universal Suffrage would do them no more good thaa the Reform Bill . But if that were the case why not give it to the people and let them by experience have its ineffectiveness proved—( hear , hear . ) There could be no doubt but the present
Government was frightened from its propriety by the movement , and as little that it had hired old Walter —the " whiteheadedboy" ^— to bespatter the Chartists with filth from his mud magazine , and after distorting the objects of the people in order to excite the bad passions of their opponents , the privileged classes , to kill the giant of his own making with flimsy sophisms , and arguments so shallow and untenable as only to be readable from their eloquence and ingenuity . They might be sure they were making way when they had thus raised the wrath of the bully of the press —( hear , hear)—but he had great hopes , from the known flexibility of that unprincipled paper , that its great ability and universal circulation , now prostituted to such vile purposes , might yet from motives of self-interest ( the only
motives it ever acknowledged ) be made available to the spread of the very views it now—against conscience and character—repudiated ( loud cheers ) Mr . Clarke referred to a letter of Mr . O'Connell ' s which had appeared in the Dublia papers ; he said it gave sad evidence of tho foundering of that great maa ' s intellect . He had , in imitation of their Association , got up six points , and in verification of their respected president ' s prediction , ( made six mtfnths ago , ) repeal had got down to the end of the card , and would shortly , he supposed , slide on ? it altogether ( hear , and laughter . ) But the best of the joke was , that Mr . O'Connell insisted that while it was last it was first too ; for ho said nothing could be done with regard to what went before it , till what came after that had been achieved ( loud laughter . )
Somebody he thought , had sent Mr . O'Conneli their political programme , for he found their very language ' adopted ; " above all , and before all , " says Mr . O ' Connell , "go for what comes after all . " ( Hear , and laughter . ) This was also a very physical force letter ; it regrets that the repeal organization was not sufficiently complete to enable the m to ; take advantage of the late corn law league risings in England , in order to intimidate the Government into submission to the demands of the "Loyal" Repeal Association , and goes on to remark ( very wisely ) thatt the history of England is not over yet 1 —( hear , hear , and laughter , )—and that if they could only get the three millions of repealers organised , they could make a bargain , in time of commotion , to obtain their own liberties on condition of crushing the
attempt of the neighbour nation to achieve theirs . ( Hear , and shame . ) After all , the main feature of this letter was its attention to the monetary part of patriotism ; " collect , and get others to collect , " was repeated several times , and in all sorts of emphatic manner : and an assertion was made , that " if there was once a repeal warden in every parish in Ireland , that moment the Union was at an end A " Did mortal man ever put forth such fudge t —( Hear , and laughter . ) Why , they could readily have a repeal warden in every parish ; but what nearer would that bring them to repeal ?—( hear , hear . ) Mr . Clark continued to expose in the most humorous and argumentative manner this drivelling document , and sat dowu amid loud cheering . Mr . Guinnen and various other members addressed the assembly , which did not break up till past ten o ' clock .
Stockton-upon-Tees . —The Chartists held their usual weekly meeting in the Working Mea ' s Reading Room , Albion-street , on Wednesday evening , After the ordinary business was done , a spirited discussion took place between Mr .
