Gkxat Fibbs . —The two great fires that have prored so extensively destructive at Liverpool , it will be curious to the lovers ef coincidences to remark , have occurred in the month of September . The former immense one took place on the Hth of September , 1802 ; and the recent tremendous derastabon commenced early in themerning of the 23 rd instant . September , indeed , appears to have been extensively distinguished in the annals of extraor dinary fires , as the following few selections may shew : —CoTent-garden Theatre ^ was burnt 20 th of September , 1808 ; Devonport Dockyard , 27 ; h of September , 1840 ; Moscow , 14 th of September ( the anniversary' of the first terrific fire at Liverpool ;) and" last , though not least , " undoubtedly , the great £ n of London— " the fire , " par excellence—occurred in September , 1666 .

Fatal Leap fbom Scnderlakd Beidge . —On Friday evening , John Thompson , a tailor , of i ' uuderiand . in a drunken freak , declared that he would that night rival Smith , the diver , by jumping offSnnderland 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 Thomp ? on pulled off his coat , and ascended the railing on the bridge , while his companion and adviser was a Ehort distance behind him . Assistance was called for , but before it ccnld be effected , he jumped down from the b ; idge into the river , upwards of 100 feet . He was picked up by the polics boat , and tak ^ n to a neighbouring public-hon ? 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 Bakewell . — On Monday last considerable excitement was caused in the qui ' et town of Bakewell by the following event : —A respectable tradesman of that town had funned an attachmert for a yonng lady of the same place , and had proceeded so far as to purchase the ring and enter into other arrangements preparatory to the ccnuablal 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 asother fair one , also residing in the Fame town , tn 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 exptrienee disappointment . It appeared that the mother of the young lady , who had been so unceremoniously deprived of her intended fiuiband , proceeded to the church with her daughter , who is enciente , with the ring in thtir 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 perfurmed the ceremony was not ignorant of the circumstances of the case . When he had proceeded to that part of the cer-monial where it is asked " whether there is any just impediment , " &c , the mother stepped forward , aud stated her reasons why it should 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 cid rot sive up all as lost , but on retiring from the church set off with the greatest expedition to Pesk Forest , in a " fly , " which ihey ha previously engaged to convey them to Matlock after the ceremony should be perfurmed at Bakewtll . Whether the parties reached Peak Forest in sufficient time to have their wishes gratified by their union , or whither any oiher mishap occurred to them , we have not hoard . 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 . —Oa Tuesday night , the 20 th instant , this to * 7 n and neighbourhood were visited by a severe thunder storm , which continued during the whole of the night , and till about four or five o ' clock the folio-wing 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 . About half-past ten o ' clock at night the storm began to gather . The moon ceased to shine , and the atmosphere became heavy , buItry , aud still . Broad flashes of sheet lightning burst
forth at intervals , illuminating the dtnse masa of clouds , and throwing a purple shade along their troubled surface . The scena was one of awful grandeur and majesty . About twelve o ' clock the rain , which had Ceased for a time , began again t « descend , ai-d about two or three o ' clock in the morning the storm raged with unexampled fury . Tiiere has been no irjiry dons by the lightning in this city , as far as we can ascertain . Near Cunningham , however , a man was struck insensible by the electric fluid , but ultimately recovered from the shock . No other injury , we believe , has been sustained in consequence of the storm .
Coleraine . —We were visited here on Tuesday nis , 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 towardB the west , from which proceeded , in quick succession , vivid flashes of lightning , which , as night Edvauced , 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 litUe after ten o ' clock it was perceived that it moved in an easterly direction , and the thunder becoming less audible , fee people retired to bed , but they were again awakened by the tremendous clspa of the thunder , which had returned with greater violence than bfcfore . The lightning at this time "was awfiil—the rain fell iu torrents ; by aud by ,
huwever , all became calm again . In the morning every person was en the alert to see if any damage had occurred , when , to their satisfaction , it was found that , as far as known , no injury had bten 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 sonth-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 church : one of the windows , a considerable distance from the spire , was almost entirely shattered ; thera are eleven panes totally broken . In the townland of Cloyfin , within about two miles of Coleraine , there were two stacks of corn barnt . 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 . T / he former ¦ were in the fields of
two persons named Norris , and the latter m fields belonging to Mr . James 31 'Curdy and Mr . Adam Wales . In the town of Bushmills some bouses in progress of erection , belonging to 31 r . Gwyne , were seriously damaged . The lightning also entered by the chimney of the honse belonging to a man named Boyle , s-.-d forced its way out of a window , entirely destroying the window ; part of the tones were melted ; v . pair of seissors , "which were in a bag with a bundle of clothes , ¦ were aho partially melted , and a metal snuff-box in the same bag shared the same fate . Balltmonet—A correspondent informs us , that
ou the morning of the 21 st instant , in the townland of Craigs , between Ballymoney and Ballymena , there was killed by lightning tbe 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 bttween a door and a window , and tearing down a wall between the room and kitchen , aud smashing a linen-weaver ' s loom to atoms . The poor sufferer is a widower , with a large family of small children . A subscription bas been moved by Mr . D . A . M'Allister , wbich , we trust , will bring some relief to the sufferers . —Derry SeidirttL
PortaDOWN . —The neighbourhood of Portadown was visited on last Sunday night by a thunder storm , accompanied by very violent rain . A good many pealj of thunder occurred also during Monday and the evenin ? of that day . In the parish of Seagoe , near Drumlin , a family of the name of Bell had a most providential escape . Tbe lightning was seen ts > strike a large tree , at Jeast two feet in diameter , about twenty feet from the ground . Tbe electric fluid passed downwards through the centre of the tree , dividing it into two almost < qual patts . and leaving a mark , very Bimilar to
what would be made by a large saw . In consequence of tbe inclined position cf the tree , 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 tbe bark , more than fifteen feet long , and about four inches in breadth , bad been separated from the trunk , and driven against tbe window , a portion of which was forced through tbe glass close to where a woman was sitting . The electric fluid at the same time entered the house , and passed through the opposite window without doirg further injury . — Belfast Chronicle .
Dover Justices . —Our justices have received a long letttr from the Secretary of State for tbe Home Department , on the sn > j ^ ct of the la te " 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 coneeive a greater humiliation thy it must have been to the justices to be made the medium of communicating to tie gaoler thia censure of conduct ¦ which , in their gravity and wisdom , they had so recently fuily approved ; and what a farce the gaoler must have thotukt it , that he should now have a sentence of condemnation read to him by the magistrates , some of - whom bo lately declared , him fully jnatifiable . In
every word of Sir James Graham's lettter the magistrates who dismissed Messrs . Fitzjamea" and Gladstone ' s appeal for justice must feel their judgment and fitness for theii office impugned . Yet , spite of thia " last unkindest cut of all , " spite of the universal burst of public indignation , they cling to the justice-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 tbe peace Enough has , perhaps , been done to prevent similar cutrages in prisons for the future , bat the poor victims of the Dover Dogberries are still nnredxessed . Will the justices , -who now find they irera wrong , make them suitable amends ? We snppose that , at all events ,
even the Mayor , trho so hastily advised the gaoler to apply for a certificate , vonld hardly now grant Mm that to screen him from the consequences of a civil action ; and yet we hardly know how be oonld refuse it , if the gaoler , in compliance with his worship ' s advice , were to demand it So that , as we bear , Messrs . Fitq&mes and Gladstone have been advised to proceed against the gaoler for redress , there is another pretty iHiammn into which our poor magistrates have plunged themselves , by making sacred principles of justice bend to the supposed expediency of maintaining unimpaired the * baolnte authority of the keeper of the prison . We sow take leave of the subject , wishing the magistrates well oat of their dificulties , —Dover Chronicle .

Chatham , Sept . 22—Alarming and Destructive Fire . —Last night , aoout un o ' clock , as one of the parish watchmen wa 3 going his rounds , his attention was directed to an unusual 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 shop door was eoou burst open . The air having beenthu 3 admitted , the whole house was soon in one
body of fire . Several engines arrived ; but owing 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 , 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 . —SingularDiscoveryop Counterfeit Coin . —On Tuesday last , a lad of 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 diEcovery , 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 uuerer 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 cow-house , and showed him ihe place , between the wall and the roof , where be alleged he had found the coin . The lad also produced the shillings which appeared to have laid in their hiding-place for some time , some of them having turned a littlo black . The coins bear the date of 1818 , and each one , when found , was carefully folded iu Jawn paper .

Municipal Elections . —Hunslet Ward . —Wo informed our readers last week , that Mr . Joshua Hobson had been brought forward as the people ' s candidate for the office of councillor for this ward on the 1 st of November next . We have now to announce that the prospect of Mr . Hobson ' s triumphant return is looked to as a certainty . The people are united to a man . Mr . Hobson has addressed two meetings during the week , namely on Wednesday and Thursday evenings , and has met with a most 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 Whigs 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 .

KEIGHIiTlY . —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 plasterer 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 Waterhouse , and while working near the principal horizontal shaft , his apron was caught by the nut of the pully of the shaft , and in a moment he was revolving round along with it . The engineer , 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 , but too late to
save the man ' s life . The shaft is placed at about eighteen inches distance from the roof of the room , and revolves 160 times per minute , so that although the engine was stopped in about two minutes from the time of his being first caught , he had gone round 320 times ; the consequence was that through the nearness of the shaft to the roof , his body was mangled in a manner too shocking to describe . His head , Feet , and one of his arms were nearly severed from his body through striking against the roof . His remains were conveyed Boon after the accident to the Crown Inn , where aa inquest was held over them on Wednesday , and a verdict of" Accidental death " returned . He was about sixty years of age , of good morals and respectable . character , and has left a widow and ten children to lament his loss .

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 aets of kindness to the poor , set his spies to work to know if Mr . Ridley would attend . The Chartists , tver on the alert , kept up the hoax for the purpose of giving 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 Eedition , resorting to acts 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 tho village was full of police , when lo 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 painsi and quietly dispersed to their homes .

DUBLIN . —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-class 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 answered , they
the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , had no notion of compromising a singlo 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 , haying given in thoir adhesion to the Six Points , will not seek out of mere caprice to re-baptise the movement—( hear)—he ft > r one should most heartily Tejoice . But even should they continue so fastidious as to refuse that title—Chartist—which had now become so renowued 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 e ! ector 3 , 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 tho 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 silence . ( Hear . ) Their address had been put forward before the propositions of Mr . Sturge had appeared—(! : ear)—and , therefore , could not be construed into an approval of all those propositions . ( Hear . ) Mr . O'Hi ^ ginswas of opinion th& , t Mr . Stnrge was perfectly sincere , while he freely admitted some of his co-councillors were men of no political steadiness . fie thought they had acted perfectly 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 mutter 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 . ) Mr . 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--misrepresentir . g 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 " 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 untenable as only to b 9 readable from their eloquence and ingenuity . They might be sure they were making way when they had thus raised tho 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 ) bo 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 man's intellect . He had , in imitation of their Association , got up six points , and in verification of their respeoted president ' s prediction , ( made six months ago , ) repeal had got down to the end of the card , and would shortly , tie 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 bo 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'Connell 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 the 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 mako 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 tho monetary part of patriotism ; " colleot , and get others to colleot , " was repeated several times , and in all sorts of emphatic manner : and an assertion was made , that " if there was onco a repeal warden in every parish in Ireland , that moment the Union was at an end !" Did mortal man ever put forth such fudge !—( 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 ' fllonlc-.

Nothing doing in fine goods Bradford Markets , Thursday , September 29 . — Wool . —The s-upply of all middle qualities ot Wools is less abundant than for several weeks past , which is accounted for by the price in the growing districts being as high as in the market .

There has bsen a good importation of foreign Wheat , mostly from the south of Europe . The weather is now very wet and unsettled , rain falling too heavily for field work proceeding favourably . There was a fair steady demand from the town millers for the best descriptions ot English Wheat , and such
brought within about Is . perqr . of last Monday ' s prices , but a good deal being affected in condition by the wet weather mustbe | juoted full 2 i . per qr . lower .
