      Fatal Leap fbom Sdndebland _ Bridge . —f / n Friday evening , John Thompson , a tailor , of bund -rland , in a drunken freak , declared that he would f cat night rival Smith , the diver , by jumping off Sun derland Bridge , which rash act he performtd . He . , was followed by a person who heard him boast of Y < is 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 off his coat , and a / scended the railing on the bridge , while his companion and adviser was a sfaort distance behind him . Assistance was called for , but before it could bee / Jected , he jumped dowa from the bridge into the r r 9 er , upwards of 100 feet . He was picked up by the police Doat , and taken to a neighbouring pablic-hor ase , and a surgeon sent for . It was found that he b ad received such injuries from the fall as to leave no hope of bis recovory . He died the same night .

      Mati jmokial Disaftointxent at Bakewell . — On Ma ndav last considerable excitement was caused in the quiet town of BakeweU by the following event : —A respectable tradesman of that town had form © i an attacrrmert for 2 young lady of the sam& place , and had proceeded so far as to purchase the rings nd 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 ? ip , " was doomed to be verified in this instance Tke young man transferred his affections to aB other fair one , also residing in the Eame town , to whom he * plighted his troth , " and made preparations to as rry her . The parties accordingly repaired to the p ? xish church of Bake well for that , purpose on the a / Dove day , when an obstacle to their marriage was

      presented , which for a time , at least , doomed them 0 experience disappointment . It appeared that the mother of the young lady , who had been so unceremoniously deprived of her intended husband , proceeded to the church with her daughter , who is enciente , with the ring in their possession , and attended by a hosi 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 , " &c , the mother stepped forward , and 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 did not five up all as lost , but on retiring from the church set eff with the greatest expedition to Peak Forest in a " fly , " which they had previously engaged to convey them to Matlock after the ceremony Ehould be performed at Bakevrell . 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 .

      AWFCL T . HUSDER STORM . —LONDONDERRY . —On Tuesday night , the 20 th instant , this town and neighbourhood were visited by a severe thunder storm , which continued during the whole of the night , and till about fonr or five o ' clock the following inorniDg . Throughout the entire of Tuesday there was very heavy rain , and tcwards 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 , 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 bad ceased for a tims , began again ta descend , and about two or three o ' clock in the morning the storm raged ¦ with ¦ unexampled fury . There has been no injury done by tbe lightnir . g in this city , as £ ir as we can ascertain . 2 fear Cunningham , however , a man was struck insensible by the electric flaid , but ultimately recovered from the shock . No other icjury , we believe , has been sustained in consequence of the storm .

      Coleraine . —We were visited here on Tuesday nii , 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 -which proceeded , in quick succession , vivid flishes of lightning , which , as night advanced , continued to increase in frequency , accompanied by distant peals of thunder , til ! 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 Ies 3 audible , the people retired to bed , but they were again awakened by the treraeadous 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 , hewever , all became calm again . In the morning every person was on tho alert to see if any damage had occurred , -when , to their satisfaction , it was fonnd that , as far as known , no injury had been done to human life . In the course of the storm the electric fluid struck the belfry of the toxra chareh , and carried away tho top of the south-east corner ; one large stone was broken in two , leaving one-half in its place , ^ hile 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 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'Cordy and Mr . Adam Wales . In the town of Bushmills some houses in progress of erection , belonging to Mr . Gwyne , were seriously damaged . The lightning also entered by the chimney of the bouse belonging to a man named Boyle , a :: d forced its way out of a window , entirely destroying the window ; part of the tonzs were melted ; a pair of esissors , 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 .

      Ballthoxet . —A correspondent informs us , that on the morning of the 21 st instant , in the townland of Craigs , between Ballymoney and BaOymena , 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 teariDg 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 . D . A . M'Allister , which , we trust , will bring some relief to the sufferers . —Derry Senlinet

      Portadowk . —The neighbourhood of Portadown ¦ was visited on last Sunday night by a thunder Btorm , accompanied by very violent rain . A good many peals of thunder occurred also during MoDday and the evening of that day . In the parish of Seagoe , near Drumlio , a family of the name of Bell had a most providential escape . The lightning was seen ts 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 tbe tree , and tbe superior weight of branches on one of tie parts , the edges of the cleft are separated from each other nearly half an inch . A portion of the bark , more than fifteen feetlong , 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 flaid at the same time entered the house , and passed through the opposite window without doing further injury . — Belfast Chronicle .

      Dover Justices . —Our justices have received a long letter from the Secretary of Stats for the Home Department , on thesnljsct of the late "hair-cropping" case , in which he desires that his " maiked 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 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 recen tly 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 fully justifiable . In

      every -word of Sir James Graham ' s lettter the magistrates vho dismissed Messrs . Fitzjames' and Gladstone ' s appeal for justice must feel their judgment and fitness for their office impugned . Yet , spite of this " last unJrindest c « t of all , " spite of the universal hurst of public indignation , they cling to the justice-seat , they read ov er their own and the gaoler ' s condemnation , and they " eat 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 future , but the poor victims of the Dover Dogberries ate still unredressed . Will tbe justices , -who now find they were 'wrong , make them cnitable amends 1 We snppoae that , at all events ,

      even the Mayor , -who bo hastily advised the gaoler to apply for a certificate , would hardly noir grant him thai to screen him from the consequences of a civil action ; and yet we haxdly know how he could refuse it , if the gaoler , in compliance with his -worship ' s advice , were to demand it So that , as we hear , Messrs . Fitzjames and Gladstone have been advised to proceed against the gaoler for redress , there is another pretty dilemma into which our poor magistrates have plonged themselves , by making sacred principles of justice bend to the supposed expediency of « n » h »^< n ^ 'g unimpaired the tbaolute authority of the keeper of the prison . We now take leave of the subject , wishing the magistrates well out of tfunr dificuttie * , — -Dover Ckrmide .

      Chatham , Sept . 22 . —Aulbmixq akd Destructive Fire . —Last night , about ten o ' clock , as one of the parish watchmen was going his rounds , his attention was directed to an unuBual quantity of smoke issuing from the back part of the premises ocoupied by Mr . Cosier , plumber , painter , and glazier , High-street , Chatham . Feeling persuaded that the house was on fire , he knooked at the door , but 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 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 , his stock and furniture not being insured . Mr . Coster ' s stock and furniture are insured in the Royal Exchange . Tbe four houses partly destroyed are insured 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 the Stockton and Darlington railway station , Stockton , found a quantity of counterfeit coin , to the amount of £ 3 3 s— ail in shillings . The lad , it appears , after his discovery , went to an apple stall , and tendered a shilling in payment for apples ; which tho keeper of the stall refused , believing it to be a bad one , and threatened the utterer thatrbe 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 6 howed him the place , between the wall and the roof , where he alleged he had found the coin . The lad aleo 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 the date of 1818 , and each one , when found , waa carefully folded in lawn paper .

      KEIGHIiEY . —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 workinir 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 ia placed at about eighteen inches distance from the roof of the room , and revolves J 60 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 . Hishead 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 tho 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 tea 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 d ' stricts aa 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 Dosesses considerable notoriety from his turning the pigs into his fields as a substitute for gleaners and other

      similar aots of kindness to the poor , set his spies to work to know if Mr . Ridley would attend . The Chartists , tver on tho 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 tho purpose of speaking sedition , resorting to acts of violence , and all the et ceterea ' ti 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 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 , suoh 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 such village shall think fit DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association met on Sunday evening , Mr . Rafter in the ohair . Mr . Dyott , 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 delftgates 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 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 inat

      tide—Chartist—which had now become bo 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 abont one seventh of those for whom they olaimed 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 tho 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 th&t Mr . Sturge was perfectly sincere , whilo . he freely admitted some of his co-councillors were men of no political steadiness . He thought they had acted perfeotly right in praising the Co mplete Suffrage men ( as they chose to be called ) , for adopting

      the bix 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 Chartiat colours were nailed to the mast , and they would stand by them to the death . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . O'Higgms 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—tho Thunderer devoted its leaders to abusing it— misrepresenting its objects—maligning its advocates—and arguing that Universal Suffrage would do them no more goad 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 " whiteheaded boy "—to bespatter tho 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 ba sure they were making way when they had thus raised tho wrath of the bully of the pres 3 —( 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 Bpread 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 itgavo sad evidence of the foundering of that great maa ' s intellect . Ho had , in imitation of their Association , got up six poiuts , and in verification of t heir 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 altoge--ther ( hear , and laughter . ) But the best of the joke was , that Mr . O'Connoll 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 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 organizxtion 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 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 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 1 " Did mortal man ever put forth suoh fudge t—( Hear , and laughter . ) Why , they could readily hare a repeal warden in every parish ; but what nearer would that bring them to repeal I —( hear , hear . ) Mr . Clark continued to expose in the most humorous and argumentative manner this drivelling document , and sat down amid loud cheering . Mr . Gu ' mnen and various other membnrs addressed the assembly , which did not break up till past ten o ' clock .
