The ;Wilful interest excited by the murder of Mr.
Little, the cashier of the Midland Great Western
Railway, inks not diminished in proportion to the
long interval that has elapsed without any vindica-
tion of justice for that atrocious crime. On the
contrary, the public mind seems in us feverish and
anxious a state as ever on the subject, and the im-
patience caused by the general rumour that all hope
of bringing the assassin to justice is on the point of
being abandoned, is considerable. Saunders' News
Letter of this morning, referring to the subject,
It b known that for days, almost for weeks past, authori-
ties In high official positMns have been expecting an arrest
to take place almost momentarily, and that parties of pothe
have boon more than once actually told off fee that duty;
and yet, from day to day the event is defornd, and the
investigation appears to recede from rather than to approach
a climax. To this is added the distrewdeg bellef—restueg
on more than mere surmise—that opinions ace divided
. .

11111641 inquiry relative to the property of the
convict, James Montgomery Knighting, was re-
tained yesterday. The prisoner, am on the preceding
day, was resent in the custody of two turnkeys.
Several witnesses were examined by the crown to
show what property Mr. Knighting was possessed of
when committed. It appeared by their evidence
that he was the owner of a considerable amount of
land in the counties of Meath and Longford, and
house property in the city of Dublin, producing a
' rental of several hundreds of pounds per annum, to-
gether with other property, consisting of bonds, bills,
mitirnotes, lec., to the value of from 7,0001. to
ry The case has closed on both sides, and the
jury will assemble on Saturday to consider their
verdict.

The inauguration of the new Lord Mayer takes
place to-day, with the usual formalities, and the
annual pageant through the city.
The Marquis of Waterford is recovering from the
effect of the severe accident which he met with a few
days since in falling from a restive horse in his own
court-yard. The noble marquis's forehead came in
contact with a stone on the occasion, and a good deal
of alarm was excited; but the wound is now going
on well. _

A valuable coal mine has recently been discovered
Kilcash, about siz miles from Clonmel, on the
Larquis of Ormond's estate.

A SIGN OF THE TIM Es.—There are at present in
our county gaol only 29 prisoners of all classes. There is not
even a solitary case for trial at the nukes; and the offences
for which prisoners are paying the penalty of confinement are
generally such as are incidental to the beet regulated com-
munities. At no antecedent period for the lag ten years
were there es few thrums of the workhouse. At Christrom
nearly all the local poor outside the workhnuae were enabled
to etre comfortably oat of their own bumble earnings, and
there was no DIONISity for urgent appeal to the rich.—
