DUBLIN, OCT. 20.

There are no accounts in town to-day of the state
of Miss Charlotte Hinds, the victim of agrarian out-
rage in Cavan ; and those received yesterday are con-
tradictory. According to one letter, the medical men
attending her do not consider the case as altogether
hopeleu,while another states that they Co not expect
her to survive longer than a day or two. la addition
to the reward of 1001. offered by government for the
conviction of the assassins, his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant has offered a further reward of 501. for
the arrest of Patrick Bannon, charged with being one
of the party who fired at the unfortunate lady ; and
Mr. Henry Grattan, late M.P. for Meath. has come
forward with a reward of 1001., which he offers in the
following remarkable notification :

Whereas, Miss Charlotte Hinds, a tenant of mine, ea
amiable and inoffensive lady, has ben barbarously shot
near the lards of Tubberlion, iu the county of Cavan, I
hereby offer 1001. reward to &ay one who will give me in-
formation against the assassins, so as to convict them.
Hanna OZATTAW.

And whereas I have long sines forgiven the tenants of
those and other Wads rents due by them, amounting to one
thousand pounds, I hereby give them notice that I shall call
for the due these two years, to November next; and
I shall insist on getting either the rent or the lend ; and as
then petiole misundentand the doctrines of the Tenant
League, I hereby call on the members of that body to ua
their influence and assist in enforcing the rights of property
and the laws of the land that in my installer, and that of
this unfortunate lady, have been in the mat unjust and
illeget manner wilfully, wickedly, and barbarously per-
verted and outraged. iIINRY GRATTAN.

The Evening Alfail, in publishing the preceding
notice, says :
--- - - -

There has been as yet no clue found to the discovery of
the miscreants who perpetrated this unnatural crime ; but
we rejoice to know that its commission has excited .o much
and ouch general indignation. that we may hope to see as
the molt a combination of all the good elements of Irish
society in opposition to the cowardly seditioa•mongering
which is the real eaciting cause of these bloody outrages.
It is to Mr. Orattan's infieite credit to come forward to
grapple with the ssdition•mongers ie the manly fashion of
the following announcements. His example will be fol-
lowed by every honest man who may have been deluded
into a participation in the awful responsibility for the
%booth' of which the outrage upon Miss Hinds is a practical
operation.

A correspondent writing from the neighbourhood
of the attempted murder on the 18th inut. says :

I understand a policeman was sent off this morning after
the assassins, but 1 tear too late. Bo well was this base con-
spiracy expected to he completed, that not one of her
tenants, who last year long before this period bad paid their
rents, have u yet come forward, save Andy Reilly, the
man whom Miss Rinds took upon her car. lie came for-
ward on Friday, the day of the savage outrage, to Mr.
Netterfleld, the agent, with 31. out of 51. 104.
The following are the arrangements made for the
approaching visit of the Earl of Carlisle to Belfast :

Ilia Excellency will arrive at one o'clock in the afternoon
of the 31st instant, when he will be met at the Ulster Roil-
way Terminus by tae mayor and town council in their robes
of ales. The corporation address will be presented to biz
Excellency, either at the station or at the Town hall, ac-
cording to future arrangements. On the Ist of November
his Excellency will return to town from Lord Dufferin's for
the purpoee of inaugurating the statue. The town council
will go in proceoion to the site, and when the ceremonial is
over, the statue committee will hand over the testimonial to
the charge of the corporation.

It is computed that about 2,000 invalids from the
Crimea have already passed through Dublin and
been entertained here at the expense of Lord Carlisle
since his Excellency's arrival in this country as Lord
Lieutenant.

Mr. Roebuck, M.P., is at present in the south of
Ireland, and, accompanied by Colonel Jones, coin.

A "CHRISTIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION."-A general
meeting of medical practitioners and students was held on
Friday evening at the Freemasons' T , for the purpose
of forming a Christian Medical Association. Mr. R. D.
Grainger, of St. Thomas's Hospital, presided; and the
meeting was successively addressed by Prtlessor Miller, of
King's College; Dr. J. C. B. Williams, F.R S., of the
Brompton Hospital for Diseases of the Chest; Dr. Hughes,
of Guy's Hospital ; the Rev. Dr. Hamilton, of the National

Mau of the Middlesex Hospital ; Mr. it, Ball, secretary to
the Chinese Evangelisation Society ; Professor Bslfour' of
Edinburgh; Dr. Riadon Bennett. of St. Thomas's Hospital;
and Mr. Moore, surgeon to Middlesex Hospital. A report
was read by Dr. Habershon, assistant physician of Guy's' in
which it was stated that it was not toe intention of the
society to attempt to set up chairs of theology in the hos-
pitals, to encourage controversy amongst students, or to
take them away from the study of medicine. AU it desired
to accomplish was to bring young men together to read and
think over the Holy Scriptures, so that their conduct might
be regulated and their prcfessional prospects improved.
The several speakers dwelt upon the advantage that would
accrue to young men joining the society, inasmuch as it
would give them introductions to professors and teach, re,
as well as to many senior members of the profession, who
had given the association the benefit of their support. The
chairman stated that fortnightly meetings were held at the
residences of the secretaries, in Finsbury.circus and
Montsgue.place, at which any student who presented
himself would be heartily welcomed.
