IRELAND.  SHOCKING MURDER NEAR DUBLIN.  DUBLIN, DEC. 19.—At an early hour yesterday morning the body of a man was found in a burning lime-kiln, at Miltown, near this city. The discovery was made by a boy, named Patrick Tynam, who is in the employment of a dairyman, residing near Classon's-bridge, at the western extremity of the village of Miltown. He stated that he proceeded about six o'clock in the morning to the lime-kiln, which is immediately adjoining his master's premises, for the purpose of warming a quantity of brewer's wash for the cows over the fire with which it was filled. There was, at the time, no appearance of daylight, and he perceived no trace of any persons near the kiln. After iring the wash to the cows, he again went out of the stables, when he immediately perceived a strong smell of burning flesh proceeding from the kiln. He says it at once occurred to him that some of his employer's ducks might have fallen into the fire, and he accordingly hastened towards the door of the kiln, on opening which he was horrified at beholding the body of a dead man, with the throat frightfully cut, stretched on the top of the burning mass. Assistance was instantly procured, and the corpse taken from the fire, in which, from its appearance, it could not have been lying many minutes. The boy asserts positively that not more than a quarter of an hour elapsed between his first and second visit to the kiln, and in the interim he heard no noise and saw no persons passing near the place. The remains have not yet been identified. They are those of a young man, apparently about twentyfive years of age, five feet seven inches in height, and with long black curled hair. He had on Oxfordgrey trousers, red striped cotton shirt, and shoes, but the remainder of his dress appears to have been stolen or lost. When found, the body was lying on the right side, which was partly discoloured from the smoke. The fingers of the right hand, and the right foot, are much burned, but the head and trunk appear to have sustained but little injury from the fire. The wound on the throat extends from the windpipe to the right ear. Dr. M‘Carthy, Coroner of the County Dublin, was in attendance during the day, and signified his intention of holding an inquest on the body at eleven o'clock next morning. A party of the City police and constabulary were also early on the spot, but notwithstanding the most active inquiries on their part during the day, no traces that could lead to an explanation of the fearful deed have been discovered. The general impression among the speetators is, that the murder had been committed at some distance away, and that the body was afterwards conveyed to the lime-kiln with the intention of having it consumed before any discovery could take place. The spot where the deceased was found is not far from the. place where Garlibardo, the Italian boy, was murdered. An inquest was held this day, and the inquiry is now in progress. A man who works in a factory in the vicinity has been arrested upon suspicion. it is said that the deceased was a tailor, and that he has been recognised by some persons in that trade.  The Lord Chancellor has been pleased to appoint Francis Hernaman, Esq., who has been engaged many years as a banker and merchant at Torquay and Newton Abbott, to be an official assignee of her Majesty's Court of Bankruptcy for the district of Leeds.
