and are modern buildings, have a respectable appearance. Linen cloth is
the staple trade. Petty Sessions are held on the last Saturday of each

MAGHERAFELT
Is a market town in
County Derry, thirty five miles N.N.W. from Belfast, situated on the
road from Coleraine to Dungannon. It is a well built town. There is a
fine Market House. The town is the property of the Salters' Company of
London. The linen manufacture employs a large proportion of the
inhabitants. Brewing, tanning and the general grain business are
extensively carried on. The Belfast Banking Company and the Northern
Banking Company have branches here. General Quarter Sessions of the
Peace are held in the Courthouse in January, April, July, October, as
also Petty Sessions on the second and last Wednesdays of each month. The
Parish Church is a beautiful edifice, built in 1857, at a cost of £7,000.
The Presbyterian Church cost £3,000, also a school house. The ground
for erecting these buildings upon was giver gratuitously by the Salters'
Company. There is a Wesleyan Methodist Church, and a Roman Catholic
Chapel. The charities comprise - a Dispensary, a Union Workhouse, and a
number of Free Schools. A beautiful free school, entitles "Rainey's
Foundation School," has been recently erected. The principal market
is held on Thursday, and that for oats on Monday, and wheat on
Wednesday. On the second Thursday in every month there is a large linen
market: and extensive cattle markets or fairs are also held monthly. The
fairs are held on the last Thursday of every month. The
parish of Magherafelt, in 1876, contained 6,592 inhabitants, and the
town 1,399 of that number. A new Courthouse has recently been erected,
the builder of which, George R. Tipping, deserves great credit for the
manor in which he carried out the contract under the County Surveyor -
it cost about £5,000, and is a great ornament to the town. The Salters'
Company through their respected agent, H. E. Cartwright, Esq., J.P.,
subscribed very liberally to its erection

MONEYMORE
In the County Derry, 32
Irish miles W.N.W. from Belfast. The town and a large tract of the
adjacent country are the property of the Drapers' Company, London, who
have greatly improved the town and district. Petty Sessions are held on
the first Tuesday in each month. The whole estate belonging to the
Company, comprises 56 townlands. The Parish Church of Desertlyn, in the
town, is a very elegant structure in the Norman style, erected in 1832,
at an expense of £6,000, wholly defrayed by the Drapers' Company. The
Drapers' Company, also built at their expense the Rev. Dr. Barnett's
Presbyterian Church, at a cost of £4,000, and subscribed liberally to
the building of the Rev. W. Sharp's Presbyterian Church. Since the
estate came into their possession, they have expended £50,000 in the
improvement of the town of Moneymore alone, exclusive of about £100,000
upon other portions of their property. The weekly grain market is held
on Friday, and the fair is held on the 21st of every month. Population
in 1877, 700.

MOY
AND CHARLEMONT
Moy is a small market town in
County Tyrone, 49 miles S.W. from Belfast, situated on the river
Blackwater, on the road from Armagh to Dungannon. It was designed in the
year 1764, by the late Earl of Charlemont, the proprietor, after the
plan of Marengo in Italy. Two quays on the river were erected by the
Charlemont family, with extensive stores ; and the Blackwater being
navigable from Lough Neagh for lighters of sixty tons burden, an
immediate communication is formed between Belfast and Newry, by the
Lagan and Newry Canals, and with Lough Erne by the Ulster Canal. There
is a Court House and News Room. Petty Sessions are held every second
Wednesday. In the immediate neighbourhood are several extensive linen
manufactories. The church is in the early English style, with a handsome
square tower. There are places of worship for Presbyterians,
Independents, Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists and Roman Catholics. On an adjacent
hill is Roxborough House, the beautiful residence of Lord Charlemont,
originally commenced in 1774 by his uncle, the Hon. Francis Caulfield.
On the first Friday of every month is held one of the best attended
horse fairs in the North of Ireland.
Charlemont, a market town in County Armagh, divided from Moy by the
Blackwater River, over which is a neat stone bridge of five arches,
built about 1706, and rebuilt in 1858 by the two counties - Tyrone and
Armagh. It is a perfect model in style and architecture, and adds
considerably to the towns it unites together, as well as the magnificent
entrance of the Earl of Charlemont, which it immediately adjoins. The
Castle was built in 1602. The town participates with Moy in the linen
manufacture. A new church was erected in 1833, on ground given by Lord
Charlemont. It is a handsome structure, resembling in front one of the
grand altars of Yorkminster. The celebrated and pious John Wesley
frequently preached in Charlemont, and occasionally in the fort.

NEWCASTLE
A small seaport town in the County Down, about twenty six miles from
Belfast and three from Castlewellan, situated on the shore of Dundrum Bay. It
is resorted to by many respectable families in the summer, being a very
fine bathing place. There are several large and handsome private dwellings,
and numerous well furnished lodging houses; hot, cold and shower baths; and
a handsome hotel, built by Earl Annesley. The Earl's marine residence is Donard Lodge,
laid out with great taste, and near it is a chalybeate spa, to which the
public have access. The Slieve Donard mountain, at the foot of which is the
Lodge, rises to the height of 3,000 feet above the sea. The places of worship
in the town are - The Episcopalian Chapel of Ease - a handsome building; a Presbyterian Church,
a Church for Wesleyan Methodists, and a Roman Catholic Chapel. There
are schools, supported principally by the Earl and Countess Annesley.
The population of the town in 1871 was (blank)

NEWRY
Is an extensive market town
and Parliamentary borough in Down and Armagh Counties, fifty miles N. by
Dublin, and 30 from Belfast, comprising, within the Parliamentary
boundary, 2,543 acres, of which 629 are in the town, and 1,914 in the
rural districts ; population in 1871, 14,158 inhabitants. Constituency,
1,197. It is situated near the mouth of the Newry Water, which
discharges itself into Carlingford Bay, five miles from the town. There
are eight bridges, four of which are stone, and cross the river which
separates the Counties of Armagh and Down ; the others are iron and
wooden drawbridges across the Canal. Newry is a very ancient town. In
1175, Maurice McLaughlin, King of Ireland, founded an abbey here, to
which great immunities and endowments were granted, and afterwards
confirmed by Hugh de Lacy, Earl of Ulster, in 1237. In 1689 the Duke of
Berwick, to secure his retreat to Dundalk from the English forces, under
the command of the Duke of Schomberg, set fire to Newry, and left it in
a very destitute and ruinous condition. The northern entrance of the town is adorned
with a chaste and elegant obelisk of chiselled granite, erected in
honour of the late highly-respected and generally lamented Trevor Corry,
Esq., a favourite magistrate for many years. The Corry arms, beautifully
executed on Portland stone, appear on the north and south recesses, and
eulogistic inscriptions on black marble are executed on the west and
east sides of the monument. Immediately opposite is a neat, capacious edifice, known as the
Orange Hall, erected by the Orangemen of the district, on a site granted
by the Marquis of Downshire, in which the meetings of that body are
usually held. The public buildings are - two Protestant Churches (one of
which was erected as far back as the reign of Elizabeth), five
Presbyterian Churches (three of them connected with the General
Assembly), three Methodist Churches, one Independent Chapel, and two
Roman Catholic Chapels, one Dominican Chapel, two Convents, two Court
Houses, two Bridewells, Custom House, Union Workhouse, Scriptural
Schools, Freemason Hall, National Model School, Fever Hospital, Bank of
Ireland, Savings Bank and Barracks. There are several
corn, flour and spinning mills, a brewery, ten
tan yards, three coach and car manufactories, iron and brass foundries,
and spade and shovel manufactories. The other manufactories are linen,
yarn, cotton, salt, iron, cordage, mineral water works, etc. Extensive
waterworks have been constructed within the last few years at Carnlough,
and the town has an abundant supply of a prime necessary of life.
Quarter Sessions are held here,
as also in Ballybot, for a portion of the County Armagh. There is a fair
on the first Monday of every month in that portion of the town, in the
County of Armagh called Ballybot ; markets on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays. Seven commodious market places have been laid out, and
enclosed in a most substantial manner by the Town Commissioners. The
borough returns one member to Parliament ; constituency under 13 &
14 Vic., cap. 60 in 1857, 510. The Bank of Ireland, the Belfast, the
Northern, and the Provincial Banks have branches here. The port admits
vessels of 1,000 tons to Warrenpoint, five miles from the town, where
the larger vessels remain, but those drawing fifteen feet of water can
go up by canal to the Albert Basin, Newry. Barges ply by the Newry Canal
Navigation to Lough Neagh, thirty two miles distant inland. The Newry
Navigation Company have the management of the port and canal, the latter
of which extends along the west side of the river. The Dundalk and Newry
Steamship Company has done much to develop the trade of the town. A
screw steamer sails weekly from the Albert Basin for Ardrossan, and
three splendid steamers ply thrice a week between Newry, Warrenpoint and Liverpool.
The Barrow Steam Navigation Company have lately started several of their
fine steamers to run between Newry and Barrow, and Newry and Glasgow. Newry is favoured by having railway communication with all parts of the
country, and a line has lately been constructed connecting the town with
the harbour of Greenore. Steam colliers trade between here, and the coal
ports in England and Scotland. The principal exports are linen cloth,
grain, provisions, cattle, eggs, and butter. The paving, lighting and
cleansing of the streets are vested in eighteen Town Commissioners, who
have also the appointment of sanitary officers. In the neighbourhood of the town
there are valuable quarries, and beautiful specimens of the highly
polished marble and granite taken from the beds were greatly admired at
the Philadelphia Exhibition. At Goraghwood there are granite quarries
extensively drawn upon by Messrs. John Robinson & Son, of Belfast,
who were the first to establish the polishing of granite in this
country. The granite of these quarries is much admired, and has been
pronounced by eminent authorities to be of the very finest description.
In colour it is of a dark bluish shade, largely intermixed with pure
crystal quartz. When finished it is exceedingly rich, and it is
exceptionally well adapted for every description of architectural
purposes. The excellent granite taken from the Moor Quarries, the
property of Messrs. H. Campbell & Son, is highly appreciated. It
presents a uniformity of texture and colouring, and it has this
peculiarity - its colour, a rich grey, remains unchanged. Even the
largest stones show few flaws. The blocks of granite taken from these
quarries are of immense size, and of the best description. Specimens of
this granite were granted a very high award of merit at the Philadelphia
Exhibition, 1876.

NEWTOWNARDS
The ancient name of
which was Ballylisnevan, is a widely spread and
geometrically laid out town of considerable importance, which occupies a
position about eight Irish miles from Belfast, at the extreme northern end
of Strangford Lough, or, as it was called in olden times, Lough Cuan, or
Cowan. Although situated so close to the sea, no advantage has yet been
taken of its almost maritime locale. In Conway Square, the largest in the
North of Ireland, stands the
Assembly Rooms, a most convenient and commodious structure, erected one
hundred and six years ago, by the first Marquis
of Londonderry. A romantic looking pedestal of an ancient cross stands at the foot of
High Street. About three miles, in the direction of Crawfordsburn, is
Ballyleidy House, the Irish residence of the Earl of Dufferin, K.P., the
Governor General of Canada. The building, which is of very plain exterior,
contains a vast library and splendid collection of art treasures. The
annual All-Comers' meeting of the Ulster Rifle Association is held in the
demesne, which is well wooded, and contains a beautiful sheet of ornamental
water. The old church, in Court Square, in which are tombs of the
Colville and Stewart families, is one of the finest
post-Reformation churches in this county before the present century. The Irish residence of the
present Marquis is at Mount Stewart, about three miles along the shores of
the lough, towards Greyabbey. About a mile from the town, in an easterly
direction, stands the ruins of the famous old abbey of Magh Bile, or Movilla,
which was founded by St. Finian about the year 550. The lead mines at
Conlig have been long since closed up, and the adoption of that course has
proved inimical to the interests of Newtownards, Conlig, and Bangor. The Scrabo quarries, on Scrabo Hill,
about a mile and a half to the south west of the town, are being worked by
Messrs. Ritchie, & Jackson, of Belfast, and yield capital building
stones, which are much used in the town and neighbourhood. On the
summit of this hill is a stately monument, erected in honour of the third Marquis
of Londonderry. Mr. George Walker's flax and tow spinning mill at the
Castle Gardens employ a great number of hands, both male and female, and
numerous young girls are engaged in a paper bag factory established in
Court Street by a Belfast firm. The starch works
of Messrs. John Taylor & Son in South Street, affords employment to a
number of men, as also does the Manor Mill in Mill Street, the property of
the same firm. Mr. Thomas Beattie's tannery in Mill Street must not be
overlooked. Mr. William Dobbin, in South Street, and Mr. James
Apperson, Thomas Street, manufacture
shawls, quilts, druggets and shirtings. In Mr. Jas. Finlay's shirt factory
a number of girls are employed by hand and with sewing machines. At the extreme west end of the
town, and close to the entrance of the Belfast Road, is Messrs. Alexander
Dickson & Son's Nursery, the products of which have gained more than
British fame. A weekly newspaper - the Newtownards Chronicle
and County Down Observer - is published every Saturday by Mr. William
Henry. The Quarter Sessions of the Peace were removed from this town to
Downpatrick in October 1874 ; but Civil Bill Courts are held in the Court
House Regent Street,
once a quarter ; Land Sessions twice a year - at Easter and Michaelmas
terms ; Petty Sessions are held on the second and fourth Thursdays in each
month ; and Presentment Sessions twice a year. The butter, egg and fowl
market is in Regent Street, and that for the sale of pork, live pigs, flax,
bogwood, etc., in West Street; the horse and cow fair is on the Shore
Road; the monthly fair is held on the
second Saturday in each month ; and patent fairs on the following dates:-
Winter fair, 23rd January ; May fair, 14th May ; and Harvest fair on 23rd
September. The Belfast and County Down Railway Company run eight trains to
and from Belfast on week days, and three on Sundays. In 1871 the population of the parish of Newtownards was 13,823.
