TILE RAILWAY MURDER.  Another day bass passed, and to all outward appearances the efforts to detect the assassin have been baffled. A statement has been telegraphed to the provinces from Dublin, announcing that a person had been arrested yesterday, and that further arrests of persons in the employ of the company were to take place immediately ; but the Dublin journals of last night and this morning have no confirmation of the intelligence. All the information that can he gathered amounts to this—that there is one man under surveillance, to whom the strongest suspicion of guilt attaches, but that as yet the amount of positive evidence is too meagre to justify the arrest of the person suspected. The Freeman, of this morning has the following paragraph : "The police, under the direction of the Crown solicitor and Mr. Superintendent Guy, were actively engaged in searching every nook and cranny about the terminus during yesterday for the clothes which were worn by the assassin at the time the murder was committed. The coal vaults and spaces underneath the offices on the platform were carefully examined with the aid of lanterns, and even the very roof of the terminus was explored, but without success. Search was also made for the money carried off by the murderer, which it was rumoured was concealed on the premises, but none was found. It is generally believed that the clothes, which must have been dabbled over with blood, were worn temporarily by the murderer, and not taken far away from where the murder was committed. Anonymous letters from every quarter of the kingdom continue to arrive, but contain nothing calculated to aid the investigators in their inquiries." Here are 'some further scraps of negative news : "A statement which appeared in a Liverpool paper, that a man, in a fit of delirium tremens, had muttered something to the effect that he only struck Mr. Little twice with a hammer, but did not cut his throat,' has attracted the notice of the authorities, who, without attaching any undue importance to it, have nevertheless thought it right to make inquiries respecting it. Acting on information received from Mr. J. Tracy, resident magistrate, Belfast, where the roan referred to had arrived from Dublin, they have despatched to Liverpool Sergeant Meares, of the G division, who has only just returned from England, a railway employe, and, we believe, young Cliarnl3erlain, Mr. Little's clerk, for the purpose of identifying him, if possible, and ascertaining whether he is the fellow who called some few weeks ago at the terminus one evening, inquiring for Mr. Calrey. It appears that while this man was in Belfast ho stopped at a certain hotel, gave no name, confined himself to his room, but told the hotelkeeper that he expected a trunk from Dublin by railway. His manner excited suspicion in the mind of the hotelkeeper, and he communicated with the police, who first got possession of the trunk at the Belfast terminus. Oa being opened it was found to contain, among other articles, a shirt washed, but not dried or done up. The man had also a large sum of money with him and drank pretty freely. He was tracked to Liverpool, where he will be kept confined till Meares and his companions arrive, and if not able to give a satisfactory account of himself, after his recovery, he will *be placed under arrest. He is at present in a lunatic asylum in Liverpool, labouring under delirium tremens. Catherine Campbell, the servant girl, has been removed from the building, in order to prevent communication with any one. Her testimony is considered to be roost important in the event of a trial. Co'onel Bro wne, Mr. Kemmis, and the other gentlemen who are actively engaged in this investigation, were again in attendance yesterday at the terminus proseeating inquiries, and it is stated that they have received several answers favourable to the ends of justice.'
