September , indeed , appears to hare been expensively distinguished in the annals of extraordinary fires , as the following few selections may shew : —Covent-garden Theatre was burnt 20 th of September , 1808 : Devonport Dockyard , 27 th 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 are of London— " the fire , " par excellence— occurred ja September , 1666 .

Fatal Leap from Susderland Bridge . —On Friday evening , John Thompson , a tailor , of Suuderland , in a drunken freak , declared that he would that night rival Smith , the diver , by jumping off Sunderland Bridge , which rash act he performed . He was followed by a person who heard him boaBt of his intention , who strove to persuade him not to do so , at the same time considered that Thompson was no sincere , and that he would not attempt it . In this , however , he was mistaken , as Thompson polled off his 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 bridge into the river , upwards of 100 feet . He was picked up by the police boat , and taken to a neighbouring public-house , 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 Mondav last considerable excitement was caused in the qufet town of Bakewell by the following event : —A respectable tradesman of that town had formed an attachmect for a young lady of the same place , and had proceeded bo far as to purchase the ring and enter into other arrangements preparatory io the connubial knot beine 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 Eame town , to whom he " plighted his troth , " and made preparations to marry her . The parties accordingly repaired to the parish church of Bakewell for that purpose on the above daywhen an obt-tade to their marriage was
. , presented , which for a time , at least , doomed them to experience disappointment . It appeared that the mother of the youDg lady , who had been so unceremoniously deprived of hf . r intended husband , proceeded 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 twain . 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 u should not proceed any further , and the clergyman deeming her statement good aiid substantial , acceded to her wishes and dismissed the parties . Although frustrated in their object by so " untoward an tvtnt , " they did not feive up all as lost , but on retiring from the church set off with the greatest expedition to Peak Eurett in a •¦ fly , " which they haa 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 iu the church-yard to witness the novel spectacle . —Derbyshire Courier .
Awfci thunder Storm . —Londonderry . —Oa TneBday right , the 2 O ' . h instant , tnis town and nei ? hbaurhoed were visited by a severe thunder storm , which conttaned 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 B . een in a nortb-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 , sultrv , and still . Broad flishes of sheet lightning burst
forth at intervals , illuminating the dense mass of clouds , and throwing a purple shade along tfeair 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 ts descend , 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 ia this city , as far as we can ascertain . Ke 3 r Cunningham , however , a man was struck insensible by the electric flaid , but ultimately recovered from the shock . Ko other injury , we believe , has been sustained in consequence of the storm .
Colerai . ne . — "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 cloud was observed towards the west , from which proceeded , in qnick 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 , tae people retired to bed , but they were again awakened by the tremendous claps of the thunder , which had returned with ereater violence than before . The lightning at this
time was awful—the rain fell in torrents ; by and by , hswever , all became calm again . In the morning every person was on the alert to see if any damage had occurred , when , to their satisfaction , it was found that , as far as known , no iDJary had been dons 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 church : 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 . Jame 3 M'Curdy and Mr . Adam Wales . In the town of Bushmills some houses in progress of erection , belonging to Mr . Qwjne , were seriously damaged . The lightning also entered by the chimney of the house belonging to a man Darned Boyle , a ' -d forced its way out of a window , entirely destroying the window ; part of the tongs were melted j a pair of aeissors , 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 21 st instant , in the townland of Craigs , 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 tearing down a wall between the room and kitchen , and smashing a linen-weaver ' s loom to atoms . Tho poor sufferer is a widower , with a large family of small children . A subscription has been moved by Mr . J ) . A . M'Allister , which , we trust , will bring some relief to the sufferers . —Dtrry Sentinel .
Portadown . —The neighbourhood of Portadown was visited on last Sunday night by a thunder storm , accompanied by very violent rain . A good many peala of thunder occurred also during Monday and the evenins of that day . In the parish of Seagoe , neat 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 flaid passed downwards through the centre of the tree , dividing it into two almost equal piiits , and leaving a mark , very similar to
what would ba made by a large saw . In consequence of the 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 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 sitting . The electric fluid at the same time entered the house , and passed through the opposite window withont doicgfnrther injury . — Belfast Chronicle .
Dover Jvstices . —Our justices have received a long letter from the Secretary of State for the Home Department , on the suV ject of the lato " 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 yesterdsj- ( Friday ) performed , by the Tisiting magistrates reading Sir James Graham ' s letter to the gaoler . We cannot conceiTe 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 bo lately declared him fnlly justifiable . In
every word of Sir James Graham ' s lettter the magistrates who dismissed Messrs . Fitzjames' and Gladstone's appeal for justice must feel their judgment and fitness for their office impugned . Yet , spite of this 11 last unkindest cat 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 " eat their leek upon compulsions too ; " bat they are still Her Majesty ' s justices of the peace . Enough has , perhaps , been nose to prevent similar outrages in prisons for the future , but the poor victims of the Dover Dogberries are still unredresaed . Will the justices , irho 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 spply for a certificate , would hardly now grant him that to screen him from the consequences of a civil action ; aod yet we hardly know how he could refuse it , if the gaoler , iu compliance with bis worship's advice , were to demand it So that , as we hear , Messrs . Fitjjsmes and Gladstone have been advised to proceed against the gaoler for redress , there is another pretty dilemma into which onr poor magistrates nave plunged themselves , by making sacred principle * of justice bend to the supposed expediency of maintaining unimpaired the fbsolsie authority of the keeper of the prison . We now take leave of the subject , wishing the magistrates veil out of their difloultie * , —Dover Chronicle .

Feeling persuaded that the house was on fire , be knocked at the door , bat finding no one answer , immediately alarmed the neighbourhood , and the shop door was soon burst open . The air having been thus 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 , bronght in beer barrels on drays , from the brewery establishments of James Bisb , 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 in-Rnred in the Kent .
Stockton . —Singular Discovery op Counterfeit Coin . —On Tuesday last , a lad of the name of Thompson , while seeking for birds' nests , in a cow-house , near to tho 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 cow-house , and showed him the place , between the wall and the roof , where he alleged he had found the com . The lad also produced the shillings which appeared to have laid in their hiding-place for some time , some of them having turned a little black . The coins bear tho date of 1818 , and each one , when found , was carefully folded in lawn paper .

know what the factious intend to do ; we only know that up to this moment no symptoms of opposition have been manifested .

KEIGBXEY .--Death by Machinery . —On Tuesday last , the following melancholy accident happened at the mill of MeEsrs . Marriners , Greengate , Keighley , to a map 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 enjnne . but too laf * 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 caiight , he had gone round 320 times ; the consequence was that through the nearness of the shaft to the roof , his bod y 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 soon 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 .

Monckton 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 aets of kindness to the poor , set his Bpies to work to know if Mr . Ridley would attend . The Chartists , ever 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 sedition , 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 ' clook 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 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 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 suoh village shall think fit DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association met on Sunday evening , Mr . Rafter in the chair . Mr . Dvott , secretary , read the minutes of the last day ' " meeting , and , as several strangers were present , the objects of the asoociation . 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 single iota of either principle or organization . If , on ocoasion 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 Bubstance , having given ia their adhesion to the Six Points , will not seek out of mere caprioe to re-baptise the movement—( hear)—ha for one should most heartily rejoice . But even should they continue so fastidious as to refuse that dele—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 . ) . Suoh , 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 conr stituting the new Conference . It was quite unfair that e ' ectors , 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 tha Leaguers' question into his address had given just ground to the opposers , or rather tho suspectors of Mr . S ' . urge , 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 —( hear)—and , therefore , could not be construed into an approval of all those propositions . ( Hear ) Mr . O'Higgins was of opinion th&t Mr . Sturge was perfectly sincere , while he freely admitted some of his co-councillors were men of no political steadiness . He 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 matter how influential or speoious , 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 . ) Mi . O'Higgins next read an article from the Times , and commented ou 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--misrepresentiEg 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 , and as little that it had hired old Walter
—the " whiteheadcd boy" —to bespatter the Chartists with fiith 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 ( lpud 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 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'Connell their political programmo , 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 organizition was not sufficiently complete to enable them to take advantage of the lato 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 repealer 3 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 shamo . ) After all , the main featuro of
this letter was its attention to the monetary part of patriotism ; " collect , and get others to colleot , " was repeated sevoral 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 1 " 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 .
