DURHAM AND CLEVELAND ADVERTISER, MAY 28, 1865.  SEVERE TH UND ERSTORMS. Issed  Francis Hutchinson, an Englishman, between whom an altercation took place. The party generally saw and feared that the dispute was likely to grow into a fiAht. and Thomas Hutchinson, brother of the above named Francis Hutchinson, a young man f 21, who was by no means dunk, though he had part .ken of drink during the evening, iaterposed and recommended the disputants to desist and go quietly home, whereupon Peter Carrigan" squared" at the interposer, and immediately struck him behind the left ear with a sharp instrument, inflicting a terrible gash, which must have cut the jugular vein, for the blood literally poured out. Carrigan, seeing the effect of the stab, rushed off to his house, which is close by, and went to bed. A messenger was despatched for a doctor, but in fifteen or twenty minutes after the bloody deed had been committed the poor fellow died. Some one went to Carrigan, who was in bed, and told him he had killed Hutchinson. Carrigan getup and quickly dressed himself, and made off, not a single person attempting to stop him. The police were soon on the spot, and searched for the murderer far and near, though without avail. They were most actively engaged all day on Monday and Tuesday endeavouring to arrest him. It. was pretty generally supposed that he had slept a while on Sunday night in an out-house at Stresholrues Farm, which is about one mile from Black Banks, and it was also known that a man answering pretty nearly the description of Carrigan had passed through the toll-bar at Blackwell Bridge about five o'clock on Monday evening. Officers were promptly despatched in that direction, though they could not find any trace of the man. At Thirsk, however, it was ascertained that an Irishman, apparently very tired and foot sore, and very like Carrigan, had applied for and obtained work at a brick yard near that place during Monday, but had left in the evening. This man turned out to be really Carrigan, who having woi ked a few hours at his own trade, was obliged to give up and take to his heels. On Tuesday afternoon, Inspector Smith. of Thirsk, dropped upon the man on the I.,ndon Road, near Borough Bridge, walking smartly soutfiward. The inspector informed him he was wanted at Darlington, handcuffed him, and brought him by train to D trlington on Tuesday night, where he was lodged in the police nation.  A young woman died the other day at Blackboy, near Limerick, from the effect of toothache. Haymaking commenced a few days a4o in the neighbourhood of Warminster, Wiltshire—about a fortnight before the usual time. According t,i the American "National Almanack" upwards of 1,100 vessels of all kinds were captured by Federal cruisers in attempting to run the blockade during the war. It appears from a parliamentary return just issued that from the year 1858 to 1831, both inclusive, the value of property protected and saved by the coastguard is £3,997,855 I 7s Id, and the number of lives saved by them 3,993. An excursion round the wind is being organised at Antwerp. The voyage will last two years, and the priocipal ports in both hemispheres will be successively visited. It is chiefly intended as a means of educational travel for young men. A FAMILY POISONED WITH SMoK KO II ‘3l. At Lubeck, Germany, the family of Senator Ditmeers have been poisoned by eating smoked ham uncooked, which turned out to be infested by. trychines (small thread-like worms). Out of seven persons attacked four are already dead.
