      Fatal Leap fbom Sckdeslakd Bridge . —On Friday evening , John Thompson , a tailor , of Snnderlard in a drunken freak , declared that he would that n ; ght rival Smith , the diver , by jumping off Sander-Land Bridge , which rash act ho performed . He was ' . ollowed by a person who heard him boast of his intention , who eirove to persuade Mm not to do so , s . t the same time considered that Thompson was not sincere , and that ha would not attempt it . In this , however , he was mistaken , as Thompson palled off his coat , and ascended the railing on the bridge , while his companion and adviser was a short distance bahind him . Assistance was called for , bat before it could be effected , he jumped down fsomthe bridge into the river , upwards of 160 feet . He was picked np b y the policeboat , 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 recovery . He died the same night .

      Matrimonial Bisat * og * tiibkt at Baklwell . — On Monday last considerable excitement was caused in the quiet town of Bakewell by tbe following event ;—A respectable tradesman of that town had formed an attachmert for a young lady of the same place , and had proceeded bo far as to purchase the rinf ; and enter ioto 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 another fair one , al = o residing in the same town , to whom he " plighted hi 3 troth , " and made preparations to marry her . The parties accordingly repaired to the parish church of Bakeweil for that , purpose on the above daywhen 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 youiig lacy , who had been so unceremoniously deprived of her intended husband , proceeded to tho church with her daughter , who is enciente , with the ring in their possession , and attended by a hos : of witnesses to Fpeak to the faithlessness of the swain . It appeared , too , from the scene that soon fuiiowed , 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 s . sked " whether thero is any just impediment , " &c , the mother stepped forward , and stated her reasons why i : should not proceed any further , and the

      citrgyman 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 o'id not £ ive up ali as lost , but on retiring from the church set eff with the greatest expedition to Peak Forest in a '" fly , " which ihey had previously engaged to conv 6 y them to Matlock after the ceremony should be performed at Bakewell . Whether the parties reached Peak Forest in sufficient time to have their wishes granted by their union , or whether any ether mishup occurred to them , we have not heard . A large cc ucour-o of tho inhabitants of Bskewell was assembled in the chnrch-ysi ' . l to witness ihe novel spectacle . —D-. rlythirc Courier ,

      Awful Thu . ndes stohm . —Londonderry . —On Tuesday nicht , the 20 th insUut , ttiis town and ce ^ hbouihoBd ^ rsTe visiteci by a severe thund er storm , 'which continued during the whole of tbe night , and tiil abuut four or five o ' clock the fallowing morning . Throush :-ut the entire o ! Tuesday lhtre was very heavy rain , and towards the evening occasional flashes cf lightning were seen in a i .-jrtb-fcasteriy direction . About haif-past ten o ' clock at night the stovni began to gather . Tee moon ceased to shine , and the atmosphere became heavy , sultry , and still . Broad flishes of sheet lightning burst

      forth at intervals , illuminating the dense mass of c ' ouds , and throwing a purple shads along their troubled surface . Tbe scans was one of awful grandenr and majesty . About twelve o ' clock the rain , -which tr . d ceased for a time , began sgsin t ?> descend , and about two or three o ' clock in ths morning tha storm raged with unc-xiinip ' ed fury . Thtre bos been no injury done by tbe ligbtnirg iu this cit ? , aa fir as we can iiscsrtnin . Xcar CiinQii ^ ham , however , a man was struck iastasibl « bj ihe eleevric fluid , but ultimately recovc-red from the sacck . No other iujury , we believe , has been sustained in conseq . ience of the atorin .

      C 0 LEB . A . 1 SE . —We -were visited here on Tuesday nknt by one of the mcit terrific thunder-storms that the oldest person in the neighbourhood , with whom I fcave converged , has ever witnessed . Between six and seven o'clock a dense cloud was observed towards the w = st , from whicn proceeded , in quick succession , vivid flashes of lightning , which , as night advanced , continued to increase in fre- ency , accompanied by distant peals of thunder , tili about nine o ' clock , vrhen the lightning became tremendous , and the thunder rattled with appalling effect . A little after tan o ' clock it was perceived that it moved in an easterly direction , and the thonder becoming less audible , the people retired to be 4 , but they were again awakened by the tremendous claps of the thunder , which Lad returned ¦ with greater violence than before . The lightning at this

      time vraa avrful—the rain fell in torrents ; by and by , hQwever , ail became c : \ Irn again . In the morning every person was gu the : alert to see if any damage had occurred , when , to their satisfaction , it was found that , as far as known , no injury had teen done to human life . In the course of the storm the electric fluid struck the belfry of the town chsuch , and carried away the top of the south-east comer ; oae large stone was broken in two , leaving one-half in its place , vrhile 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 towoland of Clovfin , within about tvro miles of Coleraine , there

      wera 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 tiie townland of Cavan . The former were in the fields of two persons named Kotris . and the latter in fields belonging to Mr . James M'Curdy and Mr . Adam Wales . In the town of Bushmills some houses in progress cf erection , belonging to Mr . Qvryne , were seriously damaged . The lightning also entered by the chimney of the bouse belonging to a man named Bojle , and forced its way out of a window , entirely destroying the vrindow ; part of the tongs were melted ; r . pair of seissors , ¦ 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 .

      Ballihoset . —A correspondent informs us , that on the morning of the 21 st instant , in the townlacfl of Craigs , between Billymoney and Bailymena , there was killed by lightning the only cow of a poor farmer ; she was standing iD the house at the tiice . The lightning al £ o did some harm in a dwelliog-houss , striking between a door and a window , and tearing do tin a wall between the room and kitchen , and smashing a linen-weaver ' s loom to atoms . Tho poor suffjrer is a widower , with a large family of small children . A subscription ta 3 been moved by Mr . D . A . M'AIIister , wLich , we tru ^ t , -will bring some relief to the sufferers . —Dtrry SeniineL

      Poetadotvn . —The neighbourhood of Pr . rtadown was visited on last Sunday night by a thunder storm , accompanied by very violent rain . A good many peals cf thunder ceenrred also during Monday and the evenin ? of that day . In the parish of Seagoe , netir Dmmlin , a family of the name of Bell had a most providential escape . The lightning was Eeen ts strike a Jarte tree , at least two feet in diameter , about twenty ftet from the ground . The electric fluid passed downwards through the centre of tbe tree , dividing it into two almost equal Burts , and leaving a mark , very similar to

      what would be made by a large saw . In consf quence of tbe iceliced position of the tree , and the superior ¦ weisht of branches on one of the parts , the edges of tbe clefs are separated from each other nearly ha ! f an inch . A portion of the bark , more tcan fifteen fi ; er long , and about focr inches in breadth , nad been separated from the trank , and driven against the window , a portion of which was forced through the glass close to vrhjre a woman was sitting . The electric fluid at the same timo entered tbe house , and passed through the opposite window without doing further injury . — Belfast Chronicle .

      Doveb . justices . —Oar justices have received a long letter from the Secretary of Stata for the Home Department , on tccsutject of the lata " 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 humiliation than it must have been to the justices to be made the medium of communicating to tbe gaoler this censure of coaduet which , in their gravity and wisdom , they had so recently fully approved ; and what a farce the gaoler must have thonjat it , that he should now have a sentence of condemnation read to him by the magistrates , some of -whom so lately declared him fully justifiable . In

      every word of Sir James Graham ' s letttcr the magistrates who dismissed Messrs . Fitzjimes" and Gladstone ' s appeal for justice must feel their jndgtnent and fitness for their office impugned . Yet , spite of this '' last nnkindest cut of all , " spite of the universal burst of public indignation , they clicg to tbe justice-seat they read over their own and the gaoler ' s condemnation , and they " eai their leek npon compnlsioss too ; ' ¦ bnt they are still Her Majesty ' s justices of the pence Enough has , perhaps , been done to prevent similar outages in prisons for the future , but the poor victims of the I > 0 T 6 r Dogberries are still nnredresaed . Will the justices , who now find they were wrong , make them sui&ble amends 7 We suppose that , at all events ,

      even tbe Mayor , who * o hastily advised the gaoler to apply for ft certificate , would bardly now grant him that to screen hi ™ from tbe oonseqnenecs of a civil action ; and yet ire bardly know how be could refuse it , if the gaoler , in compliance with bis worship ' s advice , were to demand it . So that , as we bear , Messrs . pitqimes and Gladstone have been advised to proceed Against the gaoler for redress , there is another pretty dilemma into which our poor magistrates bare plunged themselves , by making sacred principles of justice bend to the supposed expediency of maintaining unimpaired the tbsolnte authority of the keeper of the prison . We now take leave of the subject , ¦ wishing the magistrates val ] oat of their dificultie * , —Z > o « CMrcmde .

      Chatham , Sept . 22 . —A larking amd Destructive 7 / ire . —Last night , about ten o ' clock , aa one of tho parish watchmen was going his rounds , his attention ¦ was directed to an unusual quantity of smoke issuing from the back part of the premises ocenpied by Mr . Coster , plumber , painter , and glazier , High-street , Chatham . Feeling persuaded that the house was on fire , he knocked at the door , bat finding no one answer , immediately alarmed the neighbourhood , and tbo shop door was soon burst open . Tbe 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 Eoon extended themselves right and left . The premises occupied by Mr . Cooper , boot and shoemaker , are very considerably damaged , bis stock and furniture not being insured . Mr .

      Stockton . —Singular Discovert of Counterfeit Coin . —Cm 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 = —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 , believiDg it to be a bad one , and threatened the utterer that lie would tell tue 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 .

      Alleged Case of Stabbing . —On Tuesday last , Henry Hardwick , a joiner , residing in Bow-s ; reet , was charged at the Court House with having stabbed a man named John Stephenson . It appeared from the statement of the witnesses that the parties ( between whom there existed an old quarrel ) , met on Monday night , about nine o ' clock , at the corner of Dyer-street , when the prisoner , who was the worse for liquor , wished " to have it out . " Stephenson declined to have anything to say to him , and Hardwick having gone up to him he was pushed ? way . He then pnlled from his pocket part of an iron spoon , which he held in his hand , and struck Stephenson several blows about the head , by which ho was wounded on the side of his temples . Hardwick was then given into custody , and the wounds having been dressed , they w . re found not to be of serious consequence . The magistrates treated the case as one of common assault , and fined Hardwick £ 5 , including costs , or in default of payment to go two months to Wakefield .

      Municipal Elections . — Hunslet Ward . —We 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 locked to as a certainty . The people are united to a man . Mr . Hobsou has addressed two meetings during the week , namely ou Wednesday and Thursday evening ? , and has met with a , most enthusiastic reception . We do not yet

      know what tho factions intend to do ; wo 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 m . n forward ; and fhculd the Whig ? do so , and a Tory at the eleventh hour Flip in . the Whigs will be very justly blameable for having thrown overboard the people ' s cause ; we shsil see whether they will thus damage themselves n the eyes of the people . Mr . Hobson will address meetings of tho electors . cn Wednesday and Thursday evenings next .

      KEIGHXtEY . —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 ocenpied by Mr . Thomas Waterhouse , and while working near the principal horizontal shaft , his apron was caught by the nut of the pally of the shaft , and in a moment he was revolving round along with it . The engineer , hearing tho screams of the females and others working in the room at the time , and something like a heavy thump , ran and stopped the engine , bnt too late to

      save the man ' s life . The shaft is placed at about eighteen inches distance from the roof of the room , end revolves 160 times per minute , bo that although the engine was stopped in abont two minutes from the time of his being first oanght , he had gone round 320 times ; the consequence wa 3 that through the nearness of the shaft to the roof , his body was mangled in a manner too shockiDgto 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 In . i , where an inquest was held over them on Wednesday , and a verdict of Accidenlal death " returned . He was abont sixty years of age , of good morals and respectable * character , and has left a widow and ten children to lament bis 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 end other

      similar acts of kindness to tha 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 , he ' farmer" to tho superintendent of the county , that a Chartist rneetine would take place for the purpose of speaking sedition , resorting to acts of violence , and all the ot 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 pains , and quietly dispersed to their homes .

      stocking-frame , to enable them to raise a fund toprevent future infringements , such fund to be placed either in tbe savings' bank , er in tbe bands 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 chair . Mr . Dyott , secretary , read the minutes of the last day ' s meeting , and , as several strangers were present , the objeots of the asoooiation . He next read some interesting correspondence , and made a few remarks upon the middle-olasa 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 occasion of the forthcoming Conference , it would be found that the delegates can agree upon an amalgamation , if the followers of Mr . Joseph SfcHrge 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 oaprico to re-baptise tha movement —( hear)—he for one should moat 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 tho people . ( Cheers . ) Such , ho 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 ' 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 an an entire moiety in the proposed assembly—and the introduction of the Leaguers' question into his address had given just ground to the opposers , or rather the suspeotors of Mr . Sturge , to believe that , after all , tho 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 s > le « ce . ( Elear . ) Their address had . been put forward before the propositions of Mr . Srurge had appeared —( hear)—and , therefore , could not bo construed into an approval of all those propositions . ( Hear ) Mr . O'Higgms was of opinion that Mr . Sturge was perfectly sincere , while he freely admitted some of his co-councillors were men of no political steadiness . 7 Ie 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 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 lioxt read an article from the Times , and commented on tho fact that the factional prints which a while ago effected to treat Chartism with ineffable disdain , and unqualified contempt , wero now filled with notaiug else—the Thunderer devoted its leaders to abusing it—misrepresetitirg its objects—maligning its advocates—and arguing ihat Universal Suffrage would do them no more good chad the Reform Bill . But if that were the case why not give it to the people and let them by experience havo its ineffectiveness proved —( hear , hoar . ) There could be no doubt but the present Government was frightened from its propriety by the movement , ana is little that it had hired old Walter

      —the'Sviiiteheadcd boy" —to bespatter the Chartists with filth from his mud magazine , and after distorting the objects of the people iu order lo excite the bad passions of their opponents , tho privileged classes , to kill the giant of his own making with fliiasy sophisms , and arguments so shallow and untenable as only to bo readable from their eloquence and ingenuity . They might be sure they were making wrty when they had thus raised the wrath of tha bully of the press —( hear , hear)—but he had great hopes , from ' tho known ¦ flexibility of that unprincipled paper , that its great ability and universal circulation , now prostituted to sucli vile purposes , mij ; ht yet from motives of self-interest ( the only motives ii- ever acknowledged ) be made available to the spread o . ' the very views it now—against

      conscience and character— repudiated ( loud cheers . ) Mr . Clarke . referred to a let ' er of Mr . O'Connell ' s which had appeared in the Dublin papers ; he said itgsve sad evidence of tho foundering of that great maa's intellect . He had , in imitation of thair Association , got up six point ? , and in verification of their respected president ' s prediction , ( mado six months ago , ) repeal had got down to the end of the card , and would shortly , lie supposed , slide off ifc altogether ( hear , and laughter . ) But tho best of the joke was , that Mr . O'Concell 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 b ? cn achieved ( loud laughter . ) Somebody he thought , had sent Mr . O'Counell their political pro ^ ramfp ,-for he found their very

      Ianguage adopted ; " above ali , and before ail , " says Mr . O'Connell , " go for . what comes after ali . " ( Hear , and laughter . ) This was also a very physical force letter ; it regrets thai the repeal organizitioa was not sufficiently corsplete to enable them to tako advantage of tho 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 orgmised , 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 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 6 at dowu amid loud cheering . Mr . Guinneu and various other members addressed the assembly , which did not break up till past ten o ' filoek .
