Shortly after one o'clock in the morning, a young man wan found murdered in Tighe-street, Dublin, a thoroughfare that runs off Queen-street and parallel to Elliot Quay, near the Royal Barracks. Acting-inspector Marshall and Policersergeont Doyle were going their rounds when they cow the deceased lying at the door of No. 11, mortally wounded. They lost no time in removing him on a stretcher to Richmond Hospital, where Dr. Kidd, on examination, pronounced him to have been dead fifteen or thirty minutes. The blood WS still nosing from two wounds above the left ear. No shot was heard liar the nuise of a ntruggle by the police. The victim was a young fellow just entering manhood, being about twenty yaws of age. His clothes and appearance indicated that he belonged to the labouring or artisan class. He were a dark tweed suit, and a black " jerry " hat was picked up close to where he was found. In his pocket was discovered a pawnticket, on which the pawner's cause was "Delaney." Tidings of the offal, were at once reported at the several police-stations, and Inspectors Murphy, M'Corntack, and Bowers arrested a yard I Meurer named Matthew Kindle, at No. 6, Tighe-street, about half-a-dmen dons from where the man was found murdered. The officers had discovered a trail of blood leading from where the 'softy was found, oppmite the house, No. 11, Tighe. street, to the door of the prisoner's residence, No. 6. Outside the door was found a hat stained with blood. On entering the house tile police found a pool of blood in the hall which had been covered with ashes for the purpose of commitment, and following the bloodstains upstairs more was discovered in a room, and it was evident that ink had been spilled upon the stains with the object of endeavouring to obliterate them. The prisoner was taken to Itridewell-lane Police-station about ten o'clock, and upon examination a nornbssr of blood-stains were discovered upon his dress, which he was unable to account for. He was then entered on the charge-sheet, and charged with having committed the murder. Utter investigations at Tighe-street revealed that on the back of the hall door were a number or bloodstains, and along the entire floor of the hall and walls were men other stains which hod been covered with ashes and clay. At the side of the staircase was a large pool of blood, and some refuse had been thrown over to conceal it. The wall at this part of the hall has some candle-grease upon it, as if a candle had been left nticking against it, and the wall above is black and charged by the smoke of the flame. The wall at this point has also several blood-stains upon it. The stairs have upon each step several drops of blood, and sand has been sprinkled upon each. The room occupied by Use prisoner and his wife is upon the first floor, over a providon shop. The floor of the room also has several blood-stains upon It. The police have charge of a quanI tity of clothing, and steps have been taken to prevent any interference with the blast-stoics. The prisoner ' was arrested about three o'clock in the morning. It is supposed that the munler took place in the house, that the murdered man was called downstairs, and then thrown across the banisters (where a pool of blood was found), and watched by the light of the candle until life was extinct. The body, it is supposed, was then dragged to the spot where it was found. Subsequently the body of the deceased was identified an that of Peter Andrews, a hairdresser, residing in the Coombe, near St. Patrick's Cathedral. An investigation was opened before the police magistrate. 'f he prisoner has been remanded. It is not yet known whether the tragedy hid a political origin, but deceased lived quite close to the residence of the person recently shot dead for giving Fenian information to the police.
