DUBLIN, Nov. 24.
The inquiries and searches of the polioe and govern-
ment officials respecting the murder of Mr. Little, have, up
' to the present moment, ben unattended with success, and
the assassin still continues at lugs. It is now mentioned,
that during the first then months of Mr. Little's employ-
ment as cashier, a sum of from 601. to 801. was abstracted
from him, a circumstance which leads to the strongest sus-
picion that the robbery and murder in the present instance
were the work of the thief on that occasion, and that this
person must have been some one in the employment of the
company. The medical gentlemen by whom the poet
lantern examination was made Sr. now of opinion, from the
result of the experiments with the recovered instruments,
that the first blow was inflicted from the aide, and not by a
person standing in front, as was at first supposed.
