Tuesday in each month. The population of Omagh at the last census was 3,448.

PORTADOWN
A market town in County
Armagh, twenty one miles S.W. by W. from Belfast, situated on the River
Bann, over which is a stone bridge of five arches. The river, falling into Lough
Neagh, forms the boundary between the County of Armagh and Derry, and loses itself in the
sea below Coleraine - thus forming, in connexion with the Newry canal, a water
communication between that place, and Newry, Belfast, Enniskillen &c. There is a
new junction station of the Ulster Railway here, connecting the Derry,
Dublin and Belfast lines. The ancient name of the place was Port-ne-doon,
signifying the "port of the fortified eminence." In 1780 a general market was
established by Mayor Obins and George Woodhouse, Esq., and of late years the
bi-weekly sales of grain, hay and straw have greatly increased. The trade in other
agricultural produce, and in pork and cattle, is also very large. The
manufacturer of linen, lawn, and cambric and cotton weaving, is carried on extensively
in the town and neighbourhood. The Ulster, Belfast, and Bank of Ireland
have branches established here. There is a spinning mill in full working
order, and steam flour mills. Petty
Sessions are held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. The Parish
Church of Drumcree is a handsome and capacious edifice, with a tower and
spire at the Eastern end. There are - a District Parochial Church, and
churches for Presbyterian, Wesleyan, Primitive, and Jubilee Methodists
respectively, and a chapel for Roman Catholics. A large Town Hall at
the junction of High Street and Woodhouse Street affords good accommodation
for the transaction of public business. In it the Court of Petty Sessions is
held, a reading room, and a handsome assembly room. The market, which is on Saturday, is second to none in Ulster for the usual
commodities. A flax market has also been recently established. Fairs are
held on the third Saturday of each month, also on Easter Monday and Whit Monday. Population in 1861,
5,524.

PORTAFERRY
Is a thriving seaport and
market town in the County of Down, twenty three miles S.E. by S. from Belfast,
situated on the Eastern shore of the strait to the sea that forms the
entrance to Strangford Lough. From the strength of the current the
name Strong-ford, and hence, by corruption, Strangford is derived. At Portaferry is a good quay, where vessels of light burthen can discharge
their cargoes. There is a considerable trade in coal, timber, corn and agricultural
produce. The
herring fishery is carried on from the month of June to September inclusive. The market house is a
commodious building, in which the magistrates hold Petty Sessions every
third Thursday. The places of worship are - the Parish Church of Ballyphilip, a neat structure, a Presbyterian church, Wesleyan and
Primitive Methodist churches, and a Roman Catholic chapel. The
charitable institutions consist of a dispensary and two public schools - one
endowed, the other under the National Board. Andrew Nugent, Esq., the
proprietor of Portaferry, has a fine mansion and demesne immediately
contiguous to the town. The market is held on Saturday, and the fairs on the 31st July and 12th
December, and the second Tuesday, monthly. The town contained in 1861,
1,960 inhabitants.

PORTRUSH
Is a seaport and watering
place in North of Antrim, about six miles N.E. from Coleraine, and seven
from the world-famed coast scenery, the Giants' Causeway. The place has
more than trebled its population during the last seven tears, owing to the
opening up of railway communication. It is now one of the most fashionable
watering places in the North of Ireland, and is much resorted to during the
bathing season. There are many superior lodging houses and bathing lodges
for the accommodation of visitors; and, owing to its temperate and tonic
atmosphere, many respected families have located themselves as permanent
residents. There is steamboat communication with Glasgow twice a week, and
fortnightly to Islay, Oban, &c., giving the tourist ample opportunity of
visiting Highland scenery. Portrush possesses two excellent hotels - the
Antrim Arms (Mr. Brown's), and Portrush Hotel (Mr. Coleman's). Both are
excellent in arrangement and moderate in charges. The population is now
1,300.

for bathing very great. There are public baths, lodging houses and a
first rate hotel, the latter fitted up with every accommodation for families
and visitors. In appearance the town resembles an English watering
place, and is a favourite place of resort during the Summer, and even in the
Winter months, having a dry, sandy soil, and being sheltered from Easterly

RANDALSTOWN
Is a market town in
County Antrim, seventeen miles N.W. by W. from Belfast, two miles North from
the nearest part of Lough Neagh. The Maine is crossed, at the entrance
to the town, by a stone bridge of nine arches, whence it pursues its course
to Lough Neagh, through Shane's Castle Park. This magnificent park extends
Southwards for upwards of five miles, through a richly wooded demesne, on
"Lough Neagh's Banks," and is kindly thrown open by its
indulgent and hospitable proprietor every Tuesday and Friday. On the banks of the Maine, adjoining
the town, stand the corn, flax beetling and power loom mills of Messrs.
Webb, Brothers. Petty
sessions are held first Tuesday of each month. The Parish Church of Drummaul is situated in a commanding position close to the town. The rectorial tithes of the parish are lay impropriate, the property of the
Marquis of Donegall, who has also the right of presentation - the vicarial
tithes (now rent charge) belong to the vicar or incumbent. There is
also three Presbyterian churches, a Wesleyan Methodist church, a Roman
Catholic chapel, a spacious Court house, a National School, and one
established and maintained by the Rev. Wm. O'Neill, for the
benefit of the children of his tenantry in the locality, under the
superintendence of Mr. and Mrs. Coombs; and an infant school, capable of
holding 150 children, erected by Miss Alexander (daughter of the late Bishop
of Meath), under the superintendence of Miss Wallace. There is a Dispensary
for the district. A company has been formed for lighting the town with gas.
The Northern Banking Company have erected a spacious and handsome Bank
house, which will be opened in a short time for the transaction of business.
There is an extensive weekly market every Wednesday, for flax, grain, pork,
butter, meat, poultry, eggs &c.; and on third Wednesday in each month a great
general market for the sale of cattle, sheep, pigs, and other farm produce. There
are two fairs held here in the year, on the 16th July and 1st November. The late Lord O'Neill built and fitted up a
commodious and elegant hotel, an extensive walled in market square, shedded
on all sides, containing flax stores, butchers' stalls, butter store, weighbridge &c.,
with ample convenience for every commodity brought to market, and abundant
accommodation for all attending it (also free of expense). An agent
from the Northern Banking Company attends at the O'Neill Arms Hotel on each
market day.
Randalstown, according to census of 1851, contains about 1,050 inhabitants.

the Ulster Railway about one mile from the town. The market house, a
substantial building, was erected in 1753, by William Richardson, Esq.; it
is now converted into a neat Episcopalian chapel-of-ease. There are
also places of worship for Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Wesleyan Methodists
and the Society of Friends. Population of the town about 700. Fairs, Shrove Tuesday, 26th July and 15th October.

ROSTREVOR
Is a beautiful watering
place, in the County Down. It is not quite two miles distant East from
Warrenpoint, not similarly situated as Warrenpoint, for Rostrevor is
completely sheltered from the East winds by the mountains, and thus as
advantageous place in point of climate, for invalids, and particularly
recommended for pulmonary disorders. The town is delightfully seated
on a gentle declivity, which rises from a little cove of Lough Carlingford,
and commands beautiful views of the woods, mountains and waters of the lough's basin. Mr. Inglis, in noticing Rostrevor, says, it is "one
of the most beautiful spots in Ireland." About a quarter of a mile
South West of the town stands a handsome monument to the memory of the late
General Ross, who fell while leading on his troops to victory at
Bladensburg, in America. The trade is very little, except the extensive
bleach green belonging to the Messrs. Martin, and Forest Brook Spinning
Company. The Parish Church forms a conspicuous object to the quiet
aspect of the place. There are also a Presbyterian Church, and a Roman
Catholic chapel. Fairs, Monday before Shrove Tuesday, Easter Monday, Whit Tuesday, 1st
August, 19th September, 1st November and 11th December.
