Bailieborough, a market town and a
parish, partly in the County Meath, but chiefly in the County Cavan, about
fifty-four miles N.W. from Dublin. It consists of one principal street
and two diverging lanes. There is no particular branch of trade

carried on by the shop keepers. The Union Workhouse, erected in 1841, is a
large building and would accommodate 1,072 inmates. General Sessions
of the peace for the Hilary and Midsummer periods are held, and a manorial
court annually. The Courthouse, a convenient building, was enlarged
and improved in 1834, and the bridewell was built the same year. A
station of constabulary is in the town. The church is a handsome
structure, with a square tower, was erected in 1838. The other places
of worship are a Presbyterian church, situated one and a half miles from the
town; a Methodist chapel and a Roman Catholic chapel. About one mile
to the North of the town is Bailieborough Castle, the seat of the Right Hon.

BALLIBAY
Ballibay, a Market town in County
Monaghan. Is fifty-two miles distant from Belfast, and eight from the
county town - Monaghan; is situate on the direct line of road from Dundalk
to Enniskillen and the Dundalk and Enniskillen line of railway passes
through the Northern end of the town; and it is proposed to connect it with
Armagh and Cavan, by a line of railway from Armagh, by Keady, Monaghan,
Cootehill to Cavan. Its markets are held on Saturday and its fairs on
the third Saturday in each month. It has obtained great celebrity for
the quality and quantity of flax shown in its markets. The description
brought to market is more particularly confined to hand flax, but a fair
supply of milled is also shown. Its fair is celebrated for a choice
supply of horses and black cattle, and since the Dundalk and Enniskillen
Railway opened, the market for black cattle stands superior to any in
Ireland. Special trains run in connexion with the Dundalk Steam Packet
Company, by which cattle bought in one fair can be sold early on Monday in
Liverpool. The railway is now open from Ballibay to Cootehill.
Trains run four times up and down each day at arrival of each up and down
train. A market for the sale of grain is also held on Tuesdays and
Fridays, but is principally confined to oats. At Crieve, where the
bleaching business was formerly conducted, a vast supply of superior water
power and extensive buildings are at present unoccupied; but it is generally
believed they will, sooner or later, be converted into spinning concerns.
Lying between the town of Carrickmacross, distant about five miles, are
spinning mills belonging to Mrs. McKean, of Keady, and adjacent to which
stands a tower, the seat of John Leslie, Esq., Laragh. Within one mile
of the town are very extensive corn mills, the property of Mr. W. H.
Jackson, Cremorne, and Mr. Brown, Drumfalda, and in which a very extensive
trade is carried on for the home and English markets; also, about five miles
distant, at Deragooney, mills belonging to R. A. Minnett, Esq., J.P., are
worked very extensively for the English markets; there are also several
smaller mills in the neighbourhood, and particularly that of Donraymond and
Corfad, owned by Thomas and James McCullough, Esqrs., also Shantonagh and
Ednafirkin, of vast benefit to the country. Rather more than central
of the town, stands a plain but substantial market-house, lately erected by
the owner of the estate, Mrs. Leslie. Petty Sessions are held every
alternate Monday in the market-house. There is as Established Church
and Presbyterian Meeting-house in the town; and in the adjacent localities
are one Established and five Presbyterian churches, one Covenanting house
and the Roman Catholic chapel of Tullycorbitt and Balintra. A Roman Catholic
Chapel is in course of erection. Population in 1851, 1,617.

BALLYCASTLE
Ballycastle, a seaport and market town
in County Antrim, forty-two miles N.N.W. from Belfast. The name of
this place, Ballycashlin, signifying in the Irish language "Castletown",
is derived from a castle built here in 1609, by Randolph Earl of Antrim, the
remains of which, in the year of 1856, were removed, and the site left for
building ground. North-East of Ballycastle lies the Island of Rathlin.
Ballycastle owes its origin to Hugh Boyd, Esq., to whom a lease of the
estate was granted by the Earl of Antrim, in 1736. This gentleman
obtained a grant from Parliament of £20,000 and upwards, for the purpose of
erecting a pier to protect the shipping frequenting this part of the coast;
in consequence, however, of the accumulation of sand, and the injury done to
the pier by high-tides, its value as a harbour of refuge is not now
recognised. The place consists of the upper and lower town, lying
about a quarter of a mile asunder, and connected by a beautiful avenue of
lofty trees. The lower town is called the quay, separated from which,
by a small channel, stands the Glasshouse, occupied as a store since the
decline of the local trade; likewise a building, once used as a
Custom-house, but now occupied as a dwelling-house. The upper town is
the larger and more important section, and contains the places of worship,
several neat villas, and the principal inns - these, the Antrim Arms and
Royal Hotel, are well conducted establishments, and are both posting-houses.
Its advantages for sea-bathing, and magnificent scenery adjacent, have
rendered Ballycastle very attractive in the Summer. An inland revenue
office and stations of the constabulary and coast-guard are established
here. A handsome church in the Grecian style of architecture, with a
finely proportioned octagonal spire, was erected in 1756, at the sole
expense of Mr. Boyd, who was interred within its walls on the day of its
consecration. The parish church of Ramoan is a short distance from the
town. The other places of worship are for Presbyterians, Roman
Catholics and Methodists. The charities comprise a dispensary and
fever hospital, alms houses, founded and endowed by Mr. Boyd and a Union
Workhouse. In the neighbourhood are two chalybeate springs, and the
ruins of Bona Margy monastry, founded for monks of the Franciscan order.
The chapel of this establishment, which is the burial place of the Antrim
family, is in a more perfect state than the other remains. The weekly
general market is held on Saturday, beans on Tuesday and for oats &c.,
on Thursday; there is also a pork and butter market held every Wednesday
fortnight, and a large general market held every third Tuesday. Fairs
- Easter Tuesday, the last Tuesday in May, 26th July, the last Tuesday in
the months of August, October and November. Population in 1851, 1,669.

BALLYMENA
Ballymena, is a stirring, business and
thronged market inland town, in the County of Antrim - twenty-one miles from
Belfast - pleasantly situated, two miles above the confluence of the Braid
and the Main Waters, and on the high road from Belfast to Coleraine and
Londonderry. Large quantities of linen cloth are made in the
neighbourhood, and brought to the Ballymena bleach greens, of which there
are many in the vicinity of the town, where the water is abundant and pure.
It is now allowed to be the best linen market in the United Kingdom.
General Sessions of the Peace are held four times a year and Petty Sessions
every fortnight. Court Leet are held on the last Friday in the months
of April and October. The town, which is the property of Sir Robert
Shafto Adair, has been greatly improved within the last few years. The
principal streets are wide, well built, and the town is gas lighted, as are
the chief shops; many of the houses are of a respectable class and
appearance. The Town Hall, near the centre of the town, is a large and
convenient edifice, surmounted by a steeple 96 feet in height. A Court
House has been erected by the county; and a large, elegant and commodious
Hotel (by the owner of the town), which, however, has remained unoccupied
for the last few years, and is about being converted into two houses, the
great extent of the establishment being found rather unsuited to the present
business of the town. The management of the town is vested in nine
commissioners, under the provisions of the Towns' Improvement (Ireland) Act,
1854. Three of these commissioners retire annually, in rotation, but
are eligible to be re-elected. The monetary establishments of
Ballymena are a branch of the Belfast Banking Company, of the Northern
Banking Company, of the Ulster Banking Company; and of the Provincial Bank
of Ireland; and a Savings' Bank has been recently established - the office
connected with a news room. A news room and library, well supplied
with the Irish, Scotch and English newspapers, and the best periodicals, is
well conducted, and thrown open to strangers. A Literary and
Scientific Society and a Young Men's Christian Association have been added
to the public institutions of the town within the last few years; and a
local newspaper, published every Saturday, and called the Ballymena
Observer, was established in 1855. The Belfast and Northern
Counties Railway has a terminus at the end of the town; and railway
communication is open to Portrush, and also along the entire line to
Londonderry, via Coleraine. A new parish church, beautifully situated
within the demesne of Sir Robert Adair, at the head of Castle Street, was
completed and opened for Divine service in 1855. Every window in the
edifice is of richly stained glass; and the entire cost of the erection was
about £5,000. It is called the Church of St. Patrick, and it is
universally regarded as a model of architectural taste. The other
places of worship are four Presbyterian churches, a Roman Catholic Chapel
and one for Methodists. One of the Presbyterian churches was entirely
rebuilt lately, at a cost of £1.500. The Roman Catholic chapel has
been pulled down, and a new one is now built, on a very extensive scale of
enlargement, and was opened for public worship on the 11th of November.
The population is estimated at 7,000. There are three weekly markets -
namely, on Tuesday, for pork and butter; on Wednesday, for grain; but the
principal one is on Saturday, and is a large linen market. Fairs, 26th
July and 21st October.

BALLYMONEY
Ballymoney, a market town and parish in the County of
Antrim, 35 m. 6f. N.N.W. from Belfast, 14 m. 4f. N.N.W. from Ballymena,
seated on a small tributary water of the Bann. The town lies over an
area extending from Milltown, on the Rashaskin Road, to Rawdon Foot.
It was originally irregularly built; but in 1845 the inhabitants placed it
under the Act "for lighting and cleansing &c." since which
times there is no town of the same size in the North of Ireland so much
improved, partly by the inhabitants, who, however, were liberally assisted
by their late landlord, the earl of Antrim. The town is now under the
"Town Improvement Act" There is a large park and cricket
ground, kept up by the inhabitants. The park and garden covers an area
of five acres. Neat and clean footpaths are in every street; the old
Town Hall has been remodelled and now stands a beautiful and commodious
building, a monument to the liberality of the late noble owner, who also
granted to the Ballymoney Gas Company a lease of ground on which their works
stand, free of rent, and gave one-eighth of the whole cost of the erection
of the works as a donation to the improvement of the town. It is the
capital of the two baronies of Dunluce, and the largest seat of their
population, and trade. The linen manufacture prevails in the
neighbourhood. Branches of the Belfast Bank and of the Ulster Bank are
established here. General sessions of the peace are held twice in each
year; petty sessions, once a fortnight. The Court House, a convenient
building, wherein the courts are held, is situated in Charlotte Street and
the Bridewell is attached to it. The Church, a large, plain edifice,
with a tower and cupola, was erected in 1782, near the site of an ancient
church, of which some fragments still remain, The other places of
worship are for Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, Unitarians and Covenanters.
The trustees of Erasmus Smith's fund established a school in 1813.
There is a Model Agricultural School for the training of young men to
agricultural pursuits. The farm contains about thirty acres, and is
situated opposite the workhouse. There is also a male and female and
infant school attached to the farm. A linen market is held on the
first and third Thursday in each month; and a weekly market, for the usual
domestic commodities, on Thursday. The first meeting held to promote
the making of a railway from Ballymena, Ballymoney and Coleraine, with a
branch to Portrush, thereby to continue the communication entire from Derry
to Cork by rail, was held in this town, on 6th September, 1852, and carried
on by a few of its spirited inhabitants, aided by some landed proprietors
who joined them. They all exerted themselves sedulously, receiving
every encouragement from the land owners along the line, with two or three
exceptions; and notwithstanding a determined opposition which they had to
encounter, they obtained the royal assent to their Act on the 8th July 1853;
the first sod being turned by the chairman of directors, the late lamented
Earl of Antrim, on the 21st of the same month, at Portrush. The
railway, nearly thirty five miles in length, was executed in a shorter
period of time than any railway before made, of similar extent, in a most
satisfactory manner, by the eminent contractor, William Dargan; and having
been fully approved of by the Government Inspector on the 6th November 1855,
it was immediately opened for traffic to the inhabitants of the county, as
well as to tourists and travellers. The great facilities of a railway
communication had induced many, from distant counties, to visit the
picturesque and beautiful scenery of the ironbound coast of Antrim, its
basaltic cliffs and great national curiosity of the Giant's Causeway, with
its numerous interesting views and objects in its neighbourhood, as well as
induce parties to take advantage of the fine watering places of Portstewart,
Portrush &c. A dejeuner on a large scale was given in
Portrush at its commencement, as also another fete and ball at
Ballymoney at its completion, attended on both occasions by a large
assembly, representing the rank and influence of the county. The
officers conducting the railway are Charles Lanyon, Esq., C.E., Messrs.
Green and Cramsie, solicitors; James Thompson, Esq., secretary, and E.
J. Cotton, Esq, traffic manager. Fairs - May 6th, July 10th and

BALLYNAHINCH
Ballynahinch, a small market town in
the County Down, thirteen miles from Belfast. The manor on which the
town stands was granted by Charles II. to Sir G. Rawdon, the ancestor of the
present Marquis of Hastings, and it continued in the possession of the
family of Moira until the year 1800, when it became the property of David
Ker, Esq. Montalto House, adjoining the town, was formerly the chief
seat of the Earls of Moira, and has lately been rebuilt in the most costly
style by the present owner, D. S. Ker, Esq., D.L., J.P. It was at
Ballynahinch that the insurgents, in 1798, met with a complete overthrow by
the troops under General Nugent, when the former sustained a loss of one
hundred and fifty men, and the royal troops, forty. The places of
worship are, a very neat Established Church, three Presbyterian churches, a
Methodist chapel and a Roman Catholic chapel. The market house is a
very commodious one; the market is held on Thursdays. Fairs, third
Thursday in every month. Population in 1851, 1,006. The Spa is
about two miles S. W. of the town, and the wells have been put in the best

BALLYSHANNON
Ballyshannon, is a market town and seaport (formerly
a Parliamentary borough) in the County of Donegal, 128 miles W. from
Belfast, and 13 S.S.W. from Donegal, seated on both sides of the Erne,
immediately above the influx of that river with Ballyshannon harbour, a
creek of Donegal bay. The harbour, which is about six hundred yards
long, and three hundred and fifty broad, looks right through the centre of
the bay's entrance into the open Atlantic. Immediately above the head
of the harbour, a large body of the Erne water falls tumultuously over a
ridge of rocks sixteen feet above the level ordinary tides, and forms a
cataract beautiful and interesting. This is deemed one of the finest,
if not the finest, salmon leap in all Ireland. Nearly five hundred
yards above the fall, a handsome stone bridge, of fourteen arches, connects
the two sections of the town. The fishing commences about the middle
of April and continues till the latter end of August. The principal
public buildings, exclusive of those for Divine worship, are the Sessions
and Market House, which constitute one building, in a central situation; a
small Custom House, a Union Workhouse, a dispensary, public schools and a
barrack - the last-named, in a fine healthy situation, is generally occupied
by infantry. In the town is also a station for constabulary. In
the reign of James I., this place, then called Balleshannan, was a
village, but considered of sufficient consequence to be incorporated; the
style of the municipal body was the "Portrieve Free Burgesses, and
Community of the Borough of Balleshannan, or Ballyshannon." The
government of the town is now vested in the county and local magistrates.
The Parish Church, a new but neat structure, surmounts the summit of a hill
on the West side of the town. Presbyterians and Wesleyan Methodists
have churches; and within the parishes to which the town belongs are other
places of worship for various religious denominations. One Roman
Catholic chapel stands to the East of the principal street, and another on
the South side of the Port. There are also schools, in which
children of the poor receive a useful education. Besides these, the
charities comprise the Union Workhouse and dispensary, before referred to.
In the environs is a fragment of the ancient castle of the earls of
Tyrconnell, who were long chieftains of a large circumjacent district.
The market, a good one for grain, besides the usual commodities, is held on
Saturday. The fairs are held on the second day of every month (except
February, August and on 18th September). Population in 1851, 3,697.

BANBRIDGE
Banbridge, a flourishing market town,
in the County of Down, twenty miles S.S.W. from Belfast, lying on the mail
road from Belfast to Dublin, and on the left bank of the Bann, from which
river, and the bridge (at the foot of the town) by which it is crossed, the
name of the place originated. The principal street, which commences at
the bridge, is straight and spacious, and forms part of the thoroughfare
between Belfast and Dublin. There is a considerable market held every
Monday, for the sale of flax, pork and butter, and a market for the sale of
grain, hay, straw &c., every Tuesday and Friday. The proximity of
the town to the river is very advantageous to the numerous bleach-works,
The general aspect of the town is neat. The market house, erected at
the cost of the Marquis of Downshire, is a handsome building. The
spacious apartments over it are occupied as news and reading rooms, and
afford also accommodation to the magistrates, who assemble here in Petty
Sessions every alternate Thursday. The Parish Church, situated in
Church street, close to the Bann, is a chaste and elegant structure, in the
Elizabethan or Tudor style - cruciform, with a tower surmounted by a spire.
The other places of worship are Presbyterian and Unitarian churches, Baptist
and Methodist chapels, and a Roman Catholic chapel. The town is
lighted with gas. A railway is opened to join the junction line at
Scarva. Another line of railway is at present being made to join the
Ulster and Lisburn, passing by Dromore and Hillsborough. The market
days are Monday, Tuesday and Friday, the first named being the most
important. Fairs - January 12th (a large one for horses), June 9th and
August 26th. There is also a fair, or large market, held on the first
Monday of every month, except January, June and August. The population
in 1851, 3,301.

BANGOR
Bangor, a seaport town in the County
of Down, ten miles distant from Belfast. The terminus of the County
Down Railway at Newtownards is within three miles and a half from Bangor.
The town is very ancient. It is said the first stone and limestone
house built in Ireland was built in Bangor. It is stated that Saint
Comgall founded an abbey about the middle of the sixth century, which was
burned in 674 and rebuilt in 1125, by Malachy O'Morgair, then abbott; he
also added an oratory or chapel, of white stone, from which the place
derived the name of Beauchoir, now Bangor, signifying the "White
Church" or "Fair Choir." Part of the abbey ruins still
exist, and the traces of the foundations show it to have been of great
extent. The town has greatly improved within the last few years;
the harbour is good and commodious - there is a good pier, a steamboat
wharf, and fine beach, well adapted for bathing. Near the beach are
many neat furnished houses and villas, built for the accommodation of
parties visiting this favourite bathing shore. Two steamers ply
between Belfast and Bangor thrice daily each during the Summer season.
The principal hotel, "The Royal", Mr. Henry McFall's, is in a most
agreeable position, facing the sea, commanding beautiful views of the Lough
and of the County Antrim, on the other side. These conveniences and
attractions, together with hot and cold baths, render this one of the most
agreeable localities for the Summer season. The vicinity is enriched
with several elegant seats. R. E. Ward, D.L., J.P., part proprietor of
the town, has erected a splendid new castle, in the Elizabethan style of
architecture. It is a superb building, and well worth notice.
The castle is surrounded by an extensive demesne, tastefully planted, and is
contiguous to the town. Crawfordsburn is the residence of Wm. Sharman
Crawford, Esq., D.L., J.P., and the splendid seat of Lord Dufferin is within
two miles of the town. The sewed muslin business is carried on to a
very great extent, giving employment to thousands of females through the
country and town. Bangor was incorporated by charter of James I., and
previous to the Union the corporation returned two members to the Irish
Parliament, since which period the borough has ceased to be represented.
A court of Petty Sessions is held by the magistrates of the county
occasionally. The church is a beautiful edifice, with a lofty spire;
there are two Presbyterian churches. The Wesleyan Methodists have one
place of worship. There is also a Roman Catholic chapel. A
parochial school, an infant school and a dispensary are the established
charities. Fairs - January 12th, May 1st, August 1st and November
22nd. Population in 1851, 2,850.

BELTURBET
Belturbet, a market town in County
Cavan, fifteen miles N.N.W. from Cavan, pleasantly situated on the banks of
the Erne, which river is crossed by a handsome stone bridge of three arches,
erected in 1836, It owes its origin to the Lanesborough family, whose
patronage contributed materially to the prosperity of the town, which is the
property of the present Earl, as is much of the neighbouring land. The
town, which contains some well built houses and a good market house of
stone, is situated on the road from Cavan to Ballyconnell. The River
Erne opens a communication through Lough Erne to within three miles of
Ballyshannon and the Ulster Canal, by which regular means of transit are
effected to the important towns of Belfast, Newry and the intermediate
district. A large amount of linen is produced from the numerous looms
of the neighbourhood; and there is an extensive distillery and mills.
The government of the town is vested in commissioners appointed under the
regulations of the Municipal Act. Petty Sessions are held every
Saturday in the Town Hall. A station of constabulary police and
barracks are established here. The parish church of Annagh, situated
in the town, is a neat edifice, with a tower, surmounted by a spire, erected
in 1828-9. One of the most handsome Presbyterian churches in the North
of Ireland was erected in the centre of the town in 1857. The site was
given by the Earl of Lanesborough. The other places of worship are two
Methodist chapels, and one Roman Catholic chapel. The market day id
Thursday. Annual fairs, Ash Wednesday, 4th September and the first
Thursday in every other month. Population of the town in 1851, 2,054.
