DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THE IRISH VICEROYALTY.
There i a very gPliaral iznprcsAion here that some
Ministerial changes are- in contemplation, one of
which involves the transfer of Lord Carlisle from
the mock sovereignty of Dublin Castle to the more
stirring stage of Downing-street. Rumour poin's
to Lord Granville as his successor in Ireland. A
Belfast journal (the Whig), alluding to those gos-
siping reports which annually fill up a certain
portion of newspaper space before the meeting of
Parliament, remarks
"We sincerely hope that imbecility is not so universal
among Whig peers as to render Lord Carlisle indispens
sable to the Hodge of Loris. It might be an excellent
thing to get rid of the Viceregal sham in Ireland ; but,
while we are to have a Lord-Lieutenant, it would be
well to have Lord Csrtisle. Men might easily be found
to serve the Whig party better than Lord Carlisle has
served it, We know, however, of no other man who, in
the same office, has served Ireland so well ; and the fact
of his popularity here ouhgt to have some weight in Lord
Palmerston's arrangements to provide a head for those
illustrious noblemen who are the British Government
in the House of -Lords. Certainly we object to Lord
Carlisle leaving Dublin, even though a sensible and quiet
peer like Lord Granville were to be his successor. Lord
Palmerston thinks that, as there is nothing for a Lord
Lieutenant to do in Ireland, one man will answer the
purpose as well as another ; but Lord Carlisle has a
graceful way of doing nothing and saying nothing, in
which he excels all mankind. At all events, the Irish
public cannot be expected to feel flattered at the
Downing-street idea that Dublin Castle is to be regard.
ed as a hospital Mr invalid Whig peers,--...s a sinecure to
which a sick ,tatesnian is to go for a cure. There are
better places for L,rd Gran vilte's health ; the embassy
to Lisbon, or the G.oVernorShip of the lonian Isles, for
instance. L•rt us keep Lqrd Carlisle."

THE RAILWAY MURDER.
1 The only additional information supplied by the
1 papers this morning is to the effect that the police
' are on it: fresh traek, and that the hope still pre-
vails that the nssassin cannot much longer evade
the pursuit. Two of
,the London detective force
hare arrived- in Dublin to lend their assistance to
the local-authoritie.y. According to the Freeman's
44,1,,j_ki4,ThAyernment is bestirring itself, and,
by directions from high places, IThicher and Smith,
the. London detectives, commenced operations yes-
terday at the Broadstone terminus. New ground
by
has been broken,- and the exploration after facts is
going on steadily and surely. The durance to which
Catherine Campbell, the servant girl, has 'been
subjected has made her less taciturn, and she has
.of la te •become more communicative.
An evening contemporary has received the follow-
ing telegraphic despatch, which, hOwever, was un-
oon6rmed up to the hour of our going to press :
" ~ Weesday.
" An operative lately employed on DUBLIN
the Midland Rail-
way bas been arrested on board the packet for Liver-
pool. Re confessed to the murder of Mr. Little, but
he is supposed not to be the principal in that atrocious
act."

ENCUMBERED RiiITA.TES COURT.
'Ssveral small estates were put up for sale yes-
terday, but the Market was scarcely as brisk as
usual, and a good many lots were withdrawn for
want of competition. The gross sum realised was
something short of 18,0t0/.
