THE MURDER OF THE RAILWAY CASHIER. DUBLIN, Nov. 18. ' This horrible tragedy still remains shrouded in mystery, the few additional particulars that have been ob' rained serving to throw but very little light upon it. Some traces of the murderer's mode of escape have been discovered, but none at all of his entrance, and it is impossible to conjecture whether he obtained admission as a friend or acquaintance, or under the pretence of having business to transact ; or, finally, whether he contrived to steal into the room during a moment when Mr. Little's back was tome I. The crime appears to have appalled the entire community, and it is discussed by every one with feelings of the most painful interest: The following are some of the particulars which appear in this morning's papers :  From an early hour yesterday morning Inspector Ryan, Sergeants Craven and Murphy, of the detective police were actively engaged in making inquiries about the railway premises, and in closely questioning several persons in the employment of the company. Discoveries have been made which throw some light on theattetnitts made by the assassin to effect his escape after the perpetrations of the murdei., though no certainty exists as to the manner in which his exit was finally accomplished. The polio i'have discovered marks of bloody Pagers on the posts of the door leading to the hall, at the foot of the Kincinal staircase, and the mark of a boot, thickly stttdded with nails, in the dust collected on a window stool facing the platform, and about three feet from the ground. There were Also marks indicating that the skirts of the murderer's coat had brushed over the dust as he leaped from the window stool. The signs of blood were also found on the gate leadinmireatAbe platform where the up,t,ezins arrive 4 The portion of the timber thus marked were carefully removed for the purpose of having them mi cutely examined. During the course of the day a servant man in the employment of C ipt. Hartley, of Clonsilla, gave the following information, which some persons believe to be of importance :—" The informant came to town on Friday last, and while-passing through Stoneybatten he went into a public-house for some refreshment. He saw two men and a woman sitttng in the taproom drinking. One of the men was low-sized, and wore a cap without a peak ; the other was a strong burly-looking person. The low-sized man asked the woman for some money, which she refused, when he swore a terrible oath and said, 'You had bettergive it to me—you know what I can tell.' The woman got frightened, and pulled out of the bosom of her gown a pocket-book, which burst open on the table. The informant said that there could not be less than 3001. in notes in the picket-book. The t'iree patties subsequently agreed with a carman to drive them!twenty miles, but to where the informant could not say." On rec. i ring this information the police immediately commenced inquiries, the result of which is not yet known. The directors of the railway are using every exertion to facilitate the ends of justice, and we learn that they have given directions for a portion of the canal to be drained for the purpose of trying to discover the weapons used by the murderer. They have also offered a reward of 2001. for the apprehension and conviction of the guilty party or parties. The Govern. ment will also offer a large reward for the same purpose. Up to an advanced hour yesterday evening no person had been arrested, but it is said that facts are in the possession of the police, which as yet it would be injudicious .0 reveal. It is generally believed that a considerable :gum of money has been taken off by the murderer. There can be no doubt that 301. is silver has been made away with. Some say that as much as 3501. has gone, but we believe the exact amount has not as yet been ascertained.
