DUBLIN, OCT. 1.  MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN MOLTNTJOY-SQUARE. A Murder has been discovered to have.. liven committed on a poor woman, aged nearly sixty years, flamed Catherine Kelly. She had been placed as care-taker of the house in IVlountjoy.square, at the corner of Great Charier.street, next.. Summer-hill. She lived in the house alone, and was seen alive on, Thursday. On Sunday morning, t e watchman mentioned to • some persons in the neighbo hood, that he believed the woman was "dead, as he saw' that the shutters had not been closed ,during the night aa.usvai. A young man entered the house by the parlour wiadpw fronting Illountjoy-square, when he saw the unfortunate Woman lying on the parlour , floor strangled. A handkerchief with which the dreadful act had been committed.was fastened tight about her neck. There is no clue to come at even the motive for this horrible act. The house was Unfurnished anti no property of any kind in it ; and it is Wit pre_ liable that the house should be entered for the purpose of carrying away grates or chinineypieces, nothing of the 'kind being stirred ; the window-shutters of the parjour Where' the body lay were open. ~The handkerchief was in such .a position as to render it impossible that she should have committed the act herself. A cloak, and some of her bed-clotheS, were, it is said, taken away. There is no rear passage to the house, anti it is not known whether the unfortunate woman. was murdered on Friday or Saturday night.. . • . „ IscairsT.—Yesterday, M. Mr. M'Cartby, Coroner for the County, held an inquest on the body of theunforhmatelethule. --A.number of witnesses were examined, but little light was thrown on the mysterious transaction. The deceased had been a widow 18 years, and Possessed an excellent character ;' a surmise has been. suggested by the circumstances of her death, and the petty robbery committed. on the occasion, that the murderers, in depriving her of life, might have been actuated by, a wish to cut off the possessor of some vainable secret, or prevent her appearance,as a witness on some cause— So silently was the bloody deed performed, that not one single .witness was foun.d4 rho could bear the slightest testimony as to any.noise having been heard in the house on any evening or'morning of the week. The watchmen of the:vicinity were minutely examined, but nothing iris elicited from their accounts. , ~ _ .„ The sister-in-law of the deceased was sworn.—she appealed in great grief, but could, not depose to any material flict:—A. medical gentleman attended, and opened the body.
