MY DEAR SIR,
    I have great pleasure in sending you the enclosed Resolution of the Grand Jury at our late Assizes, more particularly as I most fully coincide in every sentiment expressed therein.
Believe me, dear Sir,
Your's faithfully,
H. BRUEN.

To Pilsworth Whelan, Esq.
Tullow.
   
RESOLVED, That the Thanks of this Grand Jury, are justly due, and hereby given to PILSWORTH WHELAN, a Magistrate for this County, for his spirited and persevering exertions in apprehending and bringing to justice six notorious offenders at this Assizes, who had been the terror of the peaceable inhabitant of divers parts of this County.
H. BRUEN, Foreman.
    RESOLVED, That the foregoing Resolution be inserted in The Carlow Morning Post.
Grand Jury Room, Carlow,
    25th July 1822.

Rathglass,July, 1822.
   
MY DEAR SIR,
    I had this day the honour of receiving your letter, enclosing a Resolution of the Grand Jury of the County of Carlow, entered into at the late Assizes, expressive of their approbation of my exertions as a Magistrate of this County.
    That my Conduct in the discharge of my Magisterial duties should have been considered deserving this Public expression of Approbation, from so highly respectable a Body of my Countrymen, as the Grand Jury of the County of Carlow, and accompanied, as that Resolution has been by the assurance contained in your letter, of your fully coinciding in the sentiments expressed therein, is as it must ever be to me, a source of the truest pride and gratification, however unconscious I may be of having deserved it.
    I beg leave, through you, to convey to those Gentlemen, my sincere and heartfelt acknowledgments for the honor they have thus done me, and to assure them it shall be my study through life, to pursue that course, which has met the approbation of Gentlemen, for whom, collectively and individually, I entertain the highest respect and esteem.
    I have the honour, to be,
    My dear Sir,
    Your obliged and faithful Servant,    
    PILSWORTH WHELAN
Colonel Bruen, M.P.,
    &c. &c. &c.

From the press of local matter, we are only able merely to acknowledge the receipts of London Journals to Friday, together with the Paris, and other Foreign Papers, in due course: and to give such extracts as our present limits would allow. We have a large arrear to bring up, as soon as we shall have done with the Circuit intelligence, and hope to convince our readers that we have not been unmindful of the interest of the Country during the interval.

FRANCE AND SPAIN.
    The French accounts of Spain would lead us to imagine that there have been new tumults at Madrid– however, the Madrid Papers are silent on the subject; it should appear by these last, that every thing is quiet. There has been, literally, a blow-up in France. The Magazine of Powder at Colmar– where BERTHON is under trial– has been exploded Party never ran higher in the Capital.

GREECE AND TURKEY.
    The Greeks seem determined to establish their liberty, or perish in the effort. There are accounts of various successes, some perhaps exaggerated, but generally authentic, as far as the defeat of their opponents.

PARLIAMENT.
    Much has been done, though a great deal still remains to be concluded. The Bills of Mr. Robinson regarding a Free Trade though they have not gone far enough, must prove extremely beneficial to the Commercial Interest.

MEETING OF THE BIBLE SOCIETY.
    Thursday last a meeting of a branch of the Hibernian Bible Society, was held in our Court-house.
Colonel ROCHFORT, in the Chair.
    The Hon. and Rev. Mr. WINGFIELD first addressed the meeting at considerable length, and read numerous extracts, from the seventeenth report of the British and Foreign Bible Society. He illustrated the value of the institution, by enumerating the different parts of the world where it has succeeded, and stated that its present annual receipts amounted to at least, one hundred thousand pounds per annum. He concluded his speech by moving a resolution, expressive of the attachment of the meeting to the Bible Society, and of a conviction of its utility.
    The REV. ROBERT SHAW next addressed the meeting, and seconded Mr. Wingfield's resolution. He went into the merits of the institution– the good which had been already done to the world by its labours, and the probability there was that its success would again procure, for Ireland, the character which she formerly possessed; but which she had unhappily lost– that of being "the Island of Saints."
    The Rev. PETER ROE proposed the next resolution, which recommended the formation of Ladies' Associations, for the purpose of promoting the objects of the institution: the justness of the resolution be enforced and illustrated by mentioning instances of the beneficial consequences of their exertions in several parts of England and Ireland.
    An English Clergyman, whose named we did not learn, seconded the resolution proposed by Mr. Roe, and informed the meeting that, in the immediate vicinity of his residence, several highly respectable females had associated and rendered great services to the institution by their zealous labours: he mentioned, particularly, some Ladies nearly related to the Earl of Derby.
    The Rev. Mr. CARR next addressed the meeting, and, in a very sensible and argumentative speech, dwelt upon the benefits which mankind were likely to derive from the exertions of Bible Societies. He concluded by moving a resolution for the appointment of a Committee.
    The Rev. Mr. KELLY seconded Mr. Carr's proposition, and argued, at some length, with great earnestness, and very considerable talent, to prove that Bible Societies were not inimical to the Established Church, but rather tended to give efficacy to the paramount principle on which that Church had been established.
    The Rev. Mr. BROUGH next addressed the meeting, in a short, but neat, and sensible speech, in approbation of the principles which governed the conduct of the Bible Societies– and concluded by moving a resolution for the appointment of three Secretaries to transact the business of the Society in this town and county.
    The Rev. Mr. JAMES MORGAN seconded Mr. Brough's resolution, and in a short speech/ delivered with great energy, he proved that besides the efficacy of the Bible Societies in promoting christian morality, there were loyal, in the strictest sense of the word: for that the version of the Bible, authorised by an Act of Parliament, passed in the reign of James the 1st, without note or comment, was that which the Bible Societies recommended to be read.
    The Rev. Mr. DOWNING being called to the Chair, a vote of thanks was passed to Colonel ROCHFORT, by acclamation, and the meeting broke up.
    There is no subject, perhaps, on which a greater diversity of opinion prevails that on that of reading the Bible, without note or comment, nor one which has more engaged the attention of learned and ingenious men. But in the meeting, the proceedings of which we have very briefly sketched, there was not a single expression made use of, by any one of the speakers, calculated to offend the most fastidious taste, or wound the most sensitive mind. Not the most remote allusion to the religion of any other christian sect, not to the opinions of those who have expressed themselves hostile to the principles of Bible Societies. It is such conduct as these Gentlemen have observed, on that occasion, which must win the respect and esteem even of persons who cannot accord with their opinions: their demeanour was that of scholars, of christians, and of gentlemen.– Everyone of the speakers evinced talents much above mediocrity, and the Rev. Mr. ROE, particularly, appears to us to be one of the best public speakers we have ever hear: combining the two great requisites of an excellent orator– grace and eloquence.
