      Gbxat Fires . —The two great fires that haye proved 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 14 th . of September , 1802 ; and the recent tremendous devastation commenced early in the marning of the 23 rd instant . September , indeed , appears to have been expensively distinguished in the annals of extraordinary fires , as the following few selections may shew : —Covent-gardca Theatre was burnt 20 th of September , 1808 ; DeFonport Dockyard , 7 / sh of September , 1840 ; Moscow , 14 th of September ( the anniversary of the first terrific fire at Liverpool 0 and " last , ttongh not least , " undoubtedly , the great fire of London— " the fire , " jwr erctttence ~ occurred in September , l § 6 § ,

      Fatal Leap fboh Su-hdeslaitd Bridge . —Oa Friday evening , John Thompson , a tailor , of Sntiderland , in a drunken freak , declared 'that he wonM thru night rival Smith , the diver , by JMmping off-Sundarland Bridge , which rash act he p erformed . "Ha was ' followed by a person who heard , him boast of his inteniion , who strove to persuade him not 4 * do so , at the same time considered tb » . t Thompaen was not sincere , and that he would not attempt it . In this , however , he was mistaken , as Thompson pulled off his coat , and ascended the rail ' mg on the bridge , while his companion and adviser was a short distance behind him . Assistance waj ; called for , but before it ccuid be effected , he jum ' ^ ed down from the bridge into the river , ' npwards o f 100 feet . He was picked up by the police Doat , and taken to a neighbouring public-house , and a surp . eon sent for . It was found that he had received sb ch injuries from the fall as to leave no hope of Ms recovery . He died the same nkht .

      Matkimoxial Djsappointmekt at Bakewell . — On Monday kst considerable excitement was caused in the xjuiet town , of Bakewell by the following events—A respectable tradesman of that town had formed an axtachmeLt for a yonag lady of the same piece , and had proceeded so far as to purchase the ring end enter into other arrangements preparatory to the coiiLnbial kuot beins tied ; buc the old proverb , ' * There is many u , shp -between the cup and the lip , " was doomed to be verified in this instance The young man transferred his affections to another ! air one , a !> o residing in the same town , to whom he " piighted his troth , " and made preparations to mirry her . The parties accordingly repaired to the parish church of Bakewell for that purpose on the above day , when an obstacle to their marriage was

      j presentea , which for a time , at least , doomed them I to experience disappointment . It appeared that the j mother of the young lacy , who had been bo nucereiEoniousiy deprived of ht-r intended husband , proceeded to the church with her daughter , who is enciente , with the ring in their possession , and i attended by a host of witnesses to speak to the faithlessness of the swain . Is appeared , too , from the ' scene that soon loliowed , that the reverend gent \ ej man who performed the ceremony was not ignorant ; of the circumstances of the case . When he had proi ceeded to that part of the ceremonial where it is | asked " whether there is ai . y just impediment , " &c , ! the mother stepped forward , aDd stated her reasons I why it should not proceed any further , and the

      ; clergyman deeming her btatenk-nt good and sub-| stuntia ! , acceded to her wishes and dismissed the j parties . Although frustrated in their object by so j " untoward an event , ' "' they did not give up all as lost , j but on retiring from the c ' nurch srt eff with the ! f-rtatest expedition to Peak Forest in a ' flj , " which j ihey had previously engaged to convey them to Matj lock after the ceremony should be performed at ; Bakewcll . Whether the puriies reached Peak Fo-; rest in sufficient time to have tbeir wishes gratified by their union , or whether any other mishap occurred to them , we nave no : heard . A large crncourso of | the inhabitants of Bakewell was assembled hi the : church-yaru to witness the novel spectacle . —DcrLy' j'hire Courier .

      Awfcl Thunder . STonsi . —Londoxdeebt . —Oa ; Tuesday Dirf . t , tfcs 20 lh icsuut , this town and ne- ' ^ h-; bt / uriiGGd \ rere -visited by a fevers thunder storm , wliich ' . continued Cuting th 3 whole of the night , and till aV . out I four or five o ' c ' ock the following morning . Throughout I tile entire of Tuesday there was very heavy rain , and ' towards the evening occasional flishes of lightning were j seen in a norta- ^ asteriy direction . About half-past ten i o ' clock at nij ; ht the storm began to gather . The moon i ceased to shine , and the atmosphere became heavy , sultry , and still . Broad flashes o £ sheet lightning burst

      forth at intervals , illuminating the dense mass of clouds , and throwing a purpis shade along their troubled surface . The scene was one of awful grandeur and majesty . About twelve o " clock the rain , which had csascd for a time , began again ty descend , nr . d about two or thres o ' clock in the mcrning the storm raged with cnexamp ' e ^ fury .. There lias been no injury aou- j by the li , ; atn :: g in this city , as fir as we can ascertain . ^> . ar Ciiaiiir . ghaaa , however , a aia vras struck icstnsibla by ihe ck-ctric fluid , but ultimately recovered from tho shock . No other is jury , -we believe , has been sustained in consequence of the stcr :: i .

      Colekai . se . —We were visited here on Tuesday m £ , ht by one ef the meat terriSo thunder-storms that the oldest person in the neighbourhood , with , ¦ whom 1 have conversed , has ever witnessed . Between six and seven o'clock a dense ciond was observed toirards the w-s 3 t , from which proceeded , ia quick succession , vivid flashes of lightning , which , as night advanced , continued to increase in frequency , accompanied by distant peals cf thtnidtr , till about nine o ' clock , when the ligttcir . g became tremendous , and the thunder rattled with appalling effect A littJe after ten o ' clock it was perceived that it moved in an easterly direction , and the thunder becoming less audible , the peopie retired to bed , but they were again awakened by the tremendous claps of the thunder , which had returned with greater violence than before . The lightning at thia

      time was awful—tue rain fell in torrents ; by and by , hewever , all becaice calm again . In the morning every persoa was on the alert to see if any damage had occurred , " « hec , to their satlsf Action , it was found that , as far as kno- ? m , no injury had bten done to human life , la the couks of the storm the electric fluid struck tho belfry of the town c'uurth , and cairied s . way the top of tho soath-east corner ; one large stone was broken in tv ? o , leaving one-half in its pluce , while the other was driven to a distance of about 100 feet from the church : one cf the ¦ windows , a considerable distance from the spire , wa 3 almost entirely shattered ; there are eleven pants 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 towniand of Cavsn . The former were in the fields of t'sro persons . named Norris , and the latter in fields belonging to Mr . James M'Curdy 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 house belonging to a man named Bo \ ie , a : d forced its way ont of a window , entirely destroying the window ; part of the tonjis wtre melted ; a pair of srisEors , "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 Bame fate .

      Ballyhoset . —A correspondent informs us , that on the morning of the 21 st instant , in the townlanS of Craigs , between Ballymoney and Ballymena , there was Killed by lightning tbe only cow of a poor farmer ; aha was standing ifl the house at the time . The ligbtcirg also did some harm in a dwelling-honss , striding between a door and a window , and tearing do'wn a wall between the roctn and kitchen , and smashing a linen-weaver ' s loom to atoms . The poor sufferer is a widower , with a large family of small children . A enbscription has been moved by Mr . I ) . A . M'Allister , which , we trust , will bring some relief to the Btifferers . — Derry Sentinel .

      Pobtadow >\—The neighbourhood of Portadown was Tisited on last Snnday night by a thunder storm , accompanied by very violent rain . A good many peala Gf thunder occurred also during Monday and the evenins ? of -that cay . In the parish of Seagoe ; near Diumlin , a family of the name of Bell had a most providential escape . The lightning waa seen ts Btrike a Jar-e tree , at least two feet in diameter , about twenty ftet from the ground . The electric fluid passed downwards through tie centre of the tree , dividing it into two almost equsl parta , and leaving a mark , very similar to

      ¦ wouiu i > a made by a large saw . In consequence ot tbe inciinfcd position of 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 portian of the bark , more than fifteen feet loag , and about four inches in breadth , bad been separated from the trunk , and driven against the window , a portion of which was forced through the glass close to where a womaa was sitting . The electric fluid at the same time entered the house , and passed through the opposite window ¦ without doing further injury . — Belfast Chronicle .

      Dover JrsxiCEs . —Our justices have received a long letter from the Secretary of State for the Home Department , on the sul ject of tte lata " hair-cropping" case , in which he desires that bi 8 " 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 GrahanTs letter to the gaoler . We cannot eonceive a greater humiliation than it must have been to the justices to be made the medium of communicating to tie 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 nov 7 have a sentence of condemnation read to him by the magistrates , some of whom so lately declare *? him folly justifiable . In

      every word of Sir Jamea Graham's lettter tte raagigtratss irho dismissed Messrs . Fiizjames' and Gladstone ' s appeal for justice must feel their judgment and fitness for their office impugned . Yet , spite of thia 41 last unkindest cwt of all , " Bpite of the universal burst of public indignation , they clir > g to the justice-seat , they read over tlseir own and the gaoler ' s condemnation , and they " eat tbeir leek upon compulsions too ; ' * bnt they are still Her Majesty ' s justices of the peace Enough has , perhaps , been dose to prevent similar outrages in prisons for the fntnre , bnt the poor victims of the Dover Dagbenies are stOl undressed . Will th » justices , -who now find they were wrong , make them suitable amends ? We suppose that , at all event * ,

      even the Mayor , who » hastily advised tho gaoler to sppjy tot & certificate , wonM hmKy now grant him that to screen him from the consequences of a dTil astion ; and yet we hardly know how he eonld wfuse it , if the gaoler , in compliance with Kb -wowhip ' s advice , were to demand it Bo that , as vre hear , Messrs . Fitijames and Gladstone have been advised to proceed against the gaoler for redress , there is another pretty dilemma into which out poor magistrates have plunged themselves , by m-iMng sacred principles of justice bend to the supposed expediency of maintaining unimpaired the tbsolnte authority of the keeper of the prison . We sow take leave of the snrjeet , wishing the magistzftts * veil oat of their difico&ef , —Dover Chronicle ,

      Chatham , Sept . 22 . —Alabming amd Destrcctive Fire . —Last night , about ten o ' clock , as one of the parish watchmen was going his rounds , his attention was directed to an unusual quantity of smoke issuing from the baet part of the premises occupied by Mr . Coster , plumber , painter , and glazier , High-6 treet , Chatham . Feeling persuaded that the house was on fire , he knocked at the door , bnt 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 waa 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 goon 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 .

      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 Darliiigton railway station , Stockton , found a quantity of counterfeit coin , to the amount of £ 3 3 i—all in shillings . The lad . it appears , after his discovery , weut to an spplo stall , and tendered a shilling in payment for apples ; which the keeper of the stall refused , believing it to be a bail 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 tho 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 little black . The coins bear tho date of 1818 , and each ono , when found , waa carefully folded in iawn paper .

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 tho surrounding districts as early as five o ' clock on Sunday morning , tho attendance altogether being unusually large , from tho circumstance-of its having been announced that Mr . Ruffy Ridley , of London , would address them on the principles of Chartism . A Tory farmer in tho neighbourhood , who poseRses considerable notoriety from his turning tho pigs into his fields as a substitute for gleaners and other

      similar acts of kindness to the poor , set hia spies to work to know if Mr . Ridley would attend . The Charrists , tver on the alert ,, kept up tho hoax for the purpose of giving the police a treat ; information was sent by : he '• ' farmer" to the superintendent of the county , that a Chartisi meeting : would take place for the purpose of speaking sedition , resorting to acts of violence , and all the et ceterea ' o 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 tha village was full of police , when lo andbehold ! they were thunderstruck with disappointment , for no Mr . Ridley was to be seen . The people eDJoyed the hoax , laughed at the fools for their painB . and quietly dispersed to their homes .

Rafter in the chair . Mr . Dyott , secretary , read the minutes of the last day ' s meeting , and , as several strangers were present , the objects of the asoooiation . He next read some interesting correspondence , and made a few remarks npon 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 occasion of the forthcoming Conference , it wonld be found that the delegates can agree upon an amalgamation , if the followers of Mr . Joseph Sfcarge will waive their childish objections to a name , and having adopted the Charter in sub 3 iance , having given in their adhesion to the Six Points , will not seek out of mere caprice to re-baptise the movement—( hear)— -he for one should most heartily rejoice . But even should they continue so fastidious as to refuse that tide—Chartist—which had now become so renowned throughout Europe —( hear , )—still , as an individual , he would be most happy to acknowledge their exertions , and laud their sincerity , if they honestly

      and energetically brought their power and inflaonce to bear in favour of justice and the people . ( Cheers . ) Such , h 3 thought , was the course pointed ou ; by common sense , while at the same time ho entirely agreed in the just exceptions taken by the editor of the Northern Star to the method proposed for constituting the new Conference . It was quite unfair that electors , constituting about ono 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 the suspectors of Mr . S : urge , to believe that , after aU , 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 awaiJ the issue in prudent silouce . ( Hear . ) Their address had been put forward before the propositions of Mr . S ? urge had appeared —( hear)—and , therefore , could not ba 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 . . 'lo thought they had acted perfectly right in praising the Complete Suftragemen ( as tliey chose to be called ) , for adopting the six points ; beyond that they had not gone , acd they never would bo led by any party or person , no matter how influential or specious , to desen tho Radical flag —( hear , hear ) ; the Chartist colours

      were nailed to the mast , and they wouid stand by them to the death . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . O'Higgins next read an article from the Times , and commented on tho fact that the factional prints which a while ago affected to trer . t Chartism with ineffable disdain , and unqualified contempt , were now filled with nothing else—the Thunderer devoted its leaders to abusing it—misrepreseritirg 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 casa 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 , ami 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 object 3 of the people iu order to excite tho bad passions of their " opponents , the privileged classes , to kiil the giant oi" his own making with flimsy sophisms , and arguvjents so shallow and unte .-iable as only to bo readable from their dequeues and ingenuity . They might bo pure they were making way when they had thus raided tho wrath of the builyofthe 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 purpose ? , might yet from motives of self-interest ( the only motives h ever acknowledged ) be mac ! o available to the spread of the very viewj it now— agaiust

      conecier . ee - -and character—repudiated ( loud cheers ) Mr . Clarke referred to-a lot ' . er of Mr . O'Connell ' s which had appeared in tho Dublisi papers ; ho said it gave sad evidence of the foundering of that great map . 's intellect . Ho bad , in . imitation of their Association , got up six points , and in verification of their respected presidesifc'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'Councll insisted that while , it was last it was first too j for lie said nothing could be done with regard to what went before it , till what came after that had bsen achieved ( loud laughter . ) Somebody he thought , h . id sent Mr . O'Connell their political programme , - for- 'ho found their very

      language adopted ; " above al ! , 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 tlio Iato 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 thr-y could only get the three millions of repealers organised , they could make a bargain , in time of commotion , to obtain their own liberties on condition of crushing the attempt of the neighbour nation to achieve theirs .

      ( Hear , and shame . ) After all , the main feature of this letter was its attention to the monetary part of patriotism ; " collect , and get others to collect , " was repeated several times , and in all sorts of emphatic manner : and an assertion was made , that " if there was once a repeal warden in every parish in Ireland , that moment the Union was at an end !" Did mortal man ever put forth such fudge !—( 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 tho assembly , which did not break up till past ten o ' clock .

Marriners , Greeni gate , Keighley , io 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 Waterhonae , and I while working near the principal horizontal | shaft , his apron was caught by the nut of the pully I of the shaftj ' and in a moment he was revolving i 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 and

      , thump , ran stopped the engine , bnt too late to i save the man ' s life . The shaft is placed at about : eighteen inches distance frcm the roof of the room , and revolves 160 times per minute , so that although ! the ^ ngine 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 j nearness of the shaft io the roof , his body was man-! gled 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 . i His remains were conveyed soon after the accident to the j Crown Inn , where an inquest was held over them ! on Wednesday , and a veraict of " Accidental death " returned . He was about sixty y Bars of age , of good morals and respectable ? character , and has left a widow and ten children to lament his loss .
