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.
