Fatal Leap from Sdnderland Bridge . —On Friday evening , John Thompson , a tailor , of fcuudeiland , in a drunken freek , declared thst he wonld that r : it » ht rival Smith , the diver , by jumping off Snaderland Bridge , which rash act he performed . He was followed by a person who heard him boast of his intention , who strove to persuade him not to do so , at the same time considered that Thompson was not sincere , and that he would not attempt it . In this , however , he was mistaken , as Thompson pulled offhis coat , and ascended the railing on the bridge , while his companion and adviser was a short distance behind him . Assistance was called for , but before it could be effected , he jumped down from the badge into the river , upwards ot 100 feet . He was picked up by the pol : ce boat , and taken to a neighbouring public-house , and a surgeon sent for . It waB 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 Bakewell . — 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 auachmer c 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 in this instance The young man transferred his affections to aROther fair one . also residing in the same town , to whom he " plighted his troth , " and made preparations to marry her . Th- ; parties accordingly repaired to the parish church of Bakewell for that purpose 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 eo unceremoniously deprived of her intended tusband , proceeded to the church with her daughter , who is enciente , with the ring in their possession , and attended by a host of witnesses to Kpeak 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 just impediment , " &c , 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 par . ies . Although frustrated in their object by so " untoward an event , " they cid not give up all as lost , but on retiring from the church set off with the greatest expedition to Peak Forest in a '" fly , " which they hac previously engaged to convey them to Mat-Jock 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 nigtt , the 20 th ir . Btant , this town and neighbeurhood were visited by a severe thunder storm , 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 towards the evening occasional flashes of lightning were seen in a north-easterly direction . Aboat 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 sheet 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 grandeur and majesty . About twelve o ' clock the rain , which had ceased for a time , began again te descend , ar . d about two or three o ' clock in the morning the storm raged with unexampled fury . There has been uo injury dona by the lightning in this city , as far as we can ascertain . Near Cunningham , however , a man was struck insensible by the elec ' . ric fluid , but ultimately recovered from the shock . No other itijary , we believe , has been sustained in consequence of the storm .
Coleraine . —We were visited here on Tuesday night by one of the most terrific thunder-storms that the oldest person in the neighbourhood , with whom I have conversed , baa ever witnessed . Between six and seven o ' clock a dense c ! cud was observed towards the ¦ west , from which proceeded , in quick succession , vivid flashes 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 again 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 , bewever , all became culm again . In the morning every person was on the alert to see if any damage had occurred , when , to their satikf iction , it was found that , as far us knows , no injury iad been done to human life . In the course of the storm the electric fluid Btruck the belfry of the town church , and carried away the top of the south-east comer ; 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 church : one of the windows , a considerable distance from tlie spire , was almost entirely shattered ; there are eleven panes totally broken . In the townland of Clojfin , within abont 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'Cnrdy and Mr . Adam Wales . In the town of Bushmills some houses . in progress of erection , belonging to Mr . Gwyne , were serionsly damaged . The lightning also entered by the chimney of the house belonging to a man named Boyle , aLd forced its way out of a window , entirely destroying the "window ; part of the tones were melted ; a 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 Ehared the same fate .
Ballymoney . —A correspondent informs us , that on the mcrnrng of the 21 st instant , in the townland of Craigs , between Ballymoney and BaUymena , there was killed by lightning tbe only cow of a poor farmer ; she was standing io the house at the time . Tbe lightning also did some barm in a dwelling-house , striking between a door and a window , and tearing down a wall between the room and kitchen , and smashing a linen-weaver ' s loom to atoms . The poor sufferer is a wido-wer , with a large family of small children . A subscription has been moved by Mr . D . A . M'Allister , which , * we truBt . will bring some relief to the snfferers . —Derry Smline ! .
Portadown . —The neighbourhood of Portadown was vitited on last Sunday night by a thunder a term , accompanied by very violent rain . A good many peals of thunder occurred also during Monday and the evening of that day . In the parish of Seagoe , near Drumlin , a family of the name of Bell hod a most providential escape . The lightning was seen te strike a large tree , at least two feet in diameter , about twenty feet fiom 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 tree , and the superior weight of branches en one of the parts , tbe 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 trunk , and driven against the window , a portion of which was forced through the glass close to where a woman "was Bitting . The electric fluid at ! tbe same time entered the hoase , and passed through the opposite -window without doing further injury . — Belfast Chronicle .
Dover justices . — Onr justices have received a long letter from the Secretary of State for the Home Department , on the Bubject of the late " hair-cropping" case , 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 unpleasant task was yesterday ( Friday ) performed , by the visiting magistrates reading Sir James Graham ' s letter to the gaoler . We cannot conceive a greater hnmilistion 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 fnily approved ; and what a farce the gaoler most have thouiht it , that he should now have a sentence of condemnation read to him by the magistrates , some of whom bo lately declared him foil ; justifiable . In
every -word of Sir James Graham ' s lettter the magistrates who dismissed Messrs . Fitzj nines' and Gladstone ' s appeal for justice most feel their judgment and fitness for their office impugned . Yet , spite of this ' * last unkindest cut of all , " spite of the universal burst of public indignation , they cling to the jostice-seat , they read over their own and the gaoler ' s condemnation , and they "« al their leek upon compulsions too ;'' but they are still iHer Majesty ' s justices of the peace . Enough has , perhaps , been done to prevent similar outrages in prisons for the future , but the poor victims of the Dover OogbexdeB arc . still unrediessed . Will the justices , irho now find " they were wrong , make them suitable- amend * ? We suppose that , at aU events ,
. even , the Mayor , * ho so- hastily advised the gaoler to apply for a certificate , would hardly now grant him that to screen him from tbe < rmm > qw « Hm of a civil action ; and yet ve hardly know how he could refuse it , if the gaoler , in compliance with his worship ' s advice , were to demacel it . So that , as we hear , Messrs . Fibgames and Gladstone have been advised , to proceed against the gaoler for redress , there is another pretty < til < qnm * into which our poor magistrates have plunged themselves , by making sacred principles of jus tice h * "r ^ to the supposed expediency of maintaining unimpaired the tbsolute authority of the keeper of the prison . We now take leave of the subject , wishing the magistrates well out of their diflcultles , —Dover Chrotdde ,

Chatham , Sept . 22 . —Alarming and Destructive Fiue . —Last night , about ten o ' olock , as one of the parish watchmen was going his rounds , his attention was directed to an nc usual quantity of smoke issuing from the back part of the premises occupied by Mr . 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 Bhop door was soon burst open . The air having been thus admitted , the whole hoase 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 Bisb , Ef q-, &c . The flames soon extended themselves right and left . The premises occupied by Mr . Cooper , boot and Bhoemaker , arc very considerably damaged , his stock and furniture not being insured . Mr . Coster ' s stock and furniture are insured in the Royal Exchange . The four houses partly destroyed are insured in the Kent .
Stockton . —Singular Discovery of Counterfeit Coin . —On Tuesday last , a lad ot the name of Thompson , while seeking for birds' nests , in a cow-house , near to the Stockton and Darlington railway station , Stockton , found . a quantity of counterfeit coin , to the amount of £ 3 3 s—all in shillings . The lad , it appears , after his discovery , went to an apple stall , and tendered a shilling in payment for apples ; which the keeper of the stall refused , believing it to be a bad one , and threatened the utterer that he would tell the police , if he did not confess where he had got it . On hearing this , the lad led him to the oow-house , and showed him the place , between the wall and the roof , where he alleged he bad found the coin . The lad also produced the shillings which appeared to have laid in their hiding-place for sometime , some of them having tamed a little black . The coins bear the date of 1818 , and each one , when found , was carefully folded iu lawn paper .

'' Stephenson declined to have anything to say to him , and Hardwick haviDg gone up to him he was pushed away .

Municipal Elections . —Hunslet Ward . —We informed our readers laBt week , that Mr .

Hobson ' s triumphant return is looked to as a certainty . The people are iunited to a man . Mr . Hobson has addressed two meetings during the week , namely on Wednesday and Thursday evenings , a nd has met with a mo 3 t enthusiastic reception . We do not yet
know what the factions intend to do ; we only know that up to this moment no symptoms of opposition have been manifested . We have heard that the Tories do not intend to bring a man forward ; and should the Wbigs do so , and a Tory at the eleventh hour slip in , the Whigs will be very justly blameable for having thrown overboard the people ' s cause ; we shall see whether they will thus damage themselves n the eyes of the people . Mr . Hobson will address meetings of the electors . on Wednesday and Thursday evenings next .

MoNOKTON Deverel , Wilts . —In this retired village it is the custom of the agriculturists , after the labours of harvest , to have a feast on the last Sunday in September ; in accordance with this usual custom the villagers assembled from that and the surrounding districts as early as five o ' clock on Sunday morning , tho attendance altogether being unusually large , from the circumstance of its having been announced that Mr . Ruffy Ridley , of London , would address them on the principles of Chartism . A Tory farmer in the neighbourhood , who posesses considerable notoriety from his turning the pigs into his fields as a substitute for gleaners and other
similar acts of kindness to the poor , set his spies to work to know if Mr . Ridley would attend . The Chartists , ever on the alert , kept up the hoax for the purpose of fiiviDg the police a treat ; information was sent by the ¦ farmer" to the superintendent of the county , that a Chartist meeting would take place for the purpose of speaking sedition , resorting to aots of violence , and all the et ceterea ' s conjured up by his diseased imagination ; the magistrates acting upon this information , poured in about three o ' clock in the afternoon an immense quantity of the , bluecoated gentry from all parts , some in gigs , some in carts , some in uniform , and some in plain clothes . In ten minutes the village was full of police , when Io andbehold ! they were thunderstruck with disappointment , for no Mr . Ridley was to be seen . The people enjoyed the hoax , laughed at the fools for their pains , and quietly dispersed to their homes .

stocking-frame , to enable them to raise a fund to prevent future infringements , such fund to be placed either in the savings'bank , er in the hands of a respectable inhabitant of the village where it is collected , as a majority of snch village shall think fit . DOBLXN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association met on Sunday evening , Mr . Rafter in the chair . Mr . Dyott , secretary , read the minutes of the last day '» 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-olass movement in England . He said he hoped it would be found compatible with Chartism , to accept of Sturgite support ; but though they had addressed Mr . Sturge , and been courteously and encouragingly answeredthey
, the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , bad 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 Sturge 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 exertions , and laud their sincerity , if they honestly
and energetically brought their power and influence to bear in favour of justice and the people . ( Cheers . ) Such , he thought , was the course pointed out 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 tho 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 Bincere , while he freely admitted some of his co-councillors were men of no political steadiness . 71 e thought they had acted perfectly right in praising the Complete Suffrage men ( as they chose to be called ) , for adopting the six points j 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 they would stand by them to the death . ( Loud cheers . ) Mv . 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 than 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 , ana as little that it had hired old Walter
—the " whiteheaded boy "—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 un ^ tenable 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 groat ability and universal circulation , now prostituted to such vile purposes , might yet from motives of selWnterest ( 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 vvhioh had appeared in the Dublin papers ; he Bald it gave sad evidence of tho foundering of that great man's intellect . He had , in imitation of their Association , got up six points , and in verification of their respected president ' s prediction , ( made' six months ago , ) repeal had got down to the end of the card , and would shortly , he supposed , slide off 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 he 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'Conaell 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 them to take advantage of the late corn law league risings in England , in order to intimidate tho Government into submission to the demands of the " Loyal" Repeal Association , and goes on to remark ( very wisely ) that the history of England is not over yet !—( 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 !" Did mortal man ever put forth such fudge 1 —( Hear , and laughter . ) Why , they could readily have a repeal warden in every parish ; but what nearer would that bring them to repeali —( hear , hear . ) Mr . Clark continued to expose in the most humorous and argumentative manner this drivelling document , and sat down amid loud cheering . -.. Mr . Guinnen and various other members addressed the assembly , which did not break up till past ten o ' clock .

Bradford Markets , Thursday , September 29 . — Wool . —The suppiy of all middle qualities of Wools is less abundant than for several weeks past , which is accounted for by the price in the gmwing districts being as high as in the market .
