NEWCASTLE
A small seaport town in
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, a Roman Catholic
chapel. There are schools,
supported principally by the Earl and Countess Annesley. The
population of the town in 1861 was 1,400.

NEWRY
Is an extensive market town and Parliamentary
borough, in Down and Armagh counties, fifty miles N. by Dublin, and thirty
from Belfast; comprising within the Parliamentary boundary 2,543 acres, of
which 629 are in the town, and 1,914 in the rural district; population in
1861, 12,188 inhabitants. 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. The abbot exercised Episcopal
jurisdiction over the lordships of Newry and Mourne, which authority is now
enjoyed by the trustees of the late lay proprietor (Earl Kilmorey), who,
among other privileges, grants marriage licenses, and transacts the usual
business of an ecclesiastical court, with as plenary and indisputable powers
as any other ecclesiastical court in Ireland. They appoint a vicar
to discharge the ministerial duties; and as, by virtue of the patent, they
enjoy all Episcopal powers which can be possibly vested in a layman, the
vicar is responsible for his conduct to them alone, and is not amenable to
either bishop or primate. No writs can be served by the sheriff within
the limits of the jurisdiction without (if the right were insisted on)
their concurrence. The trustees, by virtue of this patent, are
entitled to the tithes of the lordship of Newry, and have the right of
presentation to the rectory of Mourne. 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
Protestants 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, two convents, two court houses, two bridewells,
union workhouse, Scriptural schools, Freemason
hall, national model school, fever hospital, Bank of Ireland, savings' bank,
and barracks. In the ground in front of the Savings' Bank is placed a
large Russian gun, beautifully mounted, as a memorial to the Newry heroes
who fell in the Crimea. There are several corn
and flour 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 &c. 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 - all toll free. 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 the ship 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.
Steam boats regularly sail to Liverpool; and one steamer sails from Newry to Glasgow
every week. A steam collier trades between here and the coal ports in
England and Scotland. The Belfast Junction Railway passes convenient to the
town, and at Goragh Wood is joined by the Newry and Armagh line branch into
Newry, and thus the communication by railway between Newry, Dublin and
Belfast is complete. The Newry and Armagh Railway is now open to Armagh
direct, passing through Markethill. The Newry, Warrenpoint, and Rostrevor
Railway is completed to Warrenpoint. A new railway company has been formed,
called the Newry and Greenore Railway, and it purposes making a line, in
connexion with the Newry and Armagh Railway to Greenore, passing through
Omeath and Carlingford, thence to Greenore. It is understood that a steamer
will run from Greenore direct to Holyhead, which is about the same distance
from Holyhead as Kingstown. The principal exports are linen
cloth, grain, provisions, cattle, eggs and butter.

NEWTOWNARDS
Is a market town in
County Down, eight miles East from Belfast, situated near the Northern
extremity of Lough Strangford. James I., after the forfeiture of the
surrounding territory by O'Neill's rebellion, granted lands and the
neighbouring monasteries to Sir James Hamilton and Sir Hugh Montgomery, from
whom they passed to the Mount-Alexander family, and from them by exchange
into that of the Colville family, whose remains are interred in the old
church, and from them to that of Londonderry, and the present Marquis is now
the proprietor of Newtownards, and a large extent of country around. In the square stands the
commodious Town Hall,
erected in
1770 by the first Marquis of Londonderry. Nearly in the centre
of the town stands the lofty and beautiful pedestal of an ancient cross,
erected in 1636, ornamented with armorial sculptures, defaced by the rebels
in 1653, and restored by the inhabitants in 1666. Mount Stewart, the
seat of the Marquis of Londonderry, is within three miles of it. The
weaving of muslin employs a large number of the male population, and the
embroidering of muslin, for the manufacturers of Belfast and Glasgow, a
considerable number of females. About a mile from the town, convenient
to the road leading to Bangor, are extensive lead mines, held on lease from
the Marquis of Londonderry by a spirited company; the ore, which is very
rich, is shipped at Bangor, for Flint, in North Wales, where it is smelted. There are likewise, in the neighbourhood, at Scrabo, several prolific
quarries, producing a stone little inferior to that of Portland. A
handsome monument to the memory of the late General, Marquis of Londonderry,
is erected on Scrabo Hill. The General Sessions for the county are
held quarterly, in the Court house, and Petty Sessions on the first and
third Saturdays of every month. The Parish Church,
built in 1817, is an elegant cruciform edifice, with a lofty and finely
proportioned spire enlarged in 1844 at considerable expense, and in 1867 a
new north aisle added to it, which will give accommodation for 900 sittings,
at a cost of £2,800. The four Presbyterian churches are convenient and neat edifices. The other places of worship
are churches for Unitarians, the Wesleyan and New Connexion Methodists, two
Covenanting Meeting Houses and a Roman Catholic chapel. There are - a Fever
Hospital, Dispensary, Union Workhouse, and public schools; among the latter is a large one supported by the Londonderry family. The new
Model School is a splendid building, situated on the
Old Belfast Road leading to Scrabo. The Belfast Banking Company have
erected a handsome branch bank in the town. The market, which is held
on Saturday, is abundantly supplied with provisions of all kinds, cattle
&c. The annual fairs are held on the 23rd January, 14th May, 23rd
September, and second Saturday of every month. The County Down Railway has a
station at Newtownards, and trains run six times daily between it and
Belfast. The Messrs. Walker & Bell have a flax spinning mill in the
Castle Gardens, which gives employment to a great number. Population in 1861,
9,543.

NEWTOWNLIMAVADY
Or, more properly, Limavady, is a place of great antiquity. It was the
residence of the celebrated O'Cahan, or the modern O'Kane, who was chief of
one of those powerful "septs" of Ulster that were so constant and determined
in their opposition, at all times, to the English, from the year in which
Sir John de Courcy received this Northern province from the first of the
Plantagenets till the days when they were finally subdued under the first of
the Stuarts. Through the middle of Newtownlimavady, beautiful for situation,
flows the Ruagh (Anglice, Roe) or red river, so called from its muddy
waters. The vale of the Roe has been designated by an able writer "the
garden of the North." The chief places of antiquarian interest are the
"Limavady," alluding to the "Dog's Leap;" "O'Kane's Rock," in Deerpark; the
foundations of the old castle, close by; "McQuillan's Grave," near the
"Curly Burn;" and the ruins of Drumachose ancient church, in Drenagh, with
its burial place, bearing evidences of Cromwell's sojourn in this island.
With the different revolutions of this country this town is honorably
associated. In 1641, during the O'Neill persecution, it suffered greatly; in
it a large body of horse, A.D. 1688, was raised for the defence of Derry;
through it King James, with Marshal de Rosen and the Duke of Berwick, passed
to besiege that city; and at Newtownlimavady, during the rebellion of 1798,
a small band of yeomen opposed the march towards the Maiden City, from
Belfast, of 5,000 United Irishmen, and thereby gave the death blow in the
North to that fraternity. Newtownlimavady has good facilities for trade.
Daily communication with Derry and Belfast, by means of rail and telegraph,
is available. The town can now boast of a public hall, erected at a cost of
£2,000, Mr. Samuel Mercer being the builder, a large amount of the outlay
being defrayed by public subscription. It contains an assembly room, an
ante-room, a news-room, a savings bank, and caretaker's rooms. There are two
spacious market places, owned by private individuals. The new market (now in
possession of R. Macrory, Esq.) is being converted into a large steam mill.
A spinning and weaving factory has also been built at Ballyclose, by the
Limavady Spinning and Weaving Co. T. Lowry, Esq. (of the firm of Lowry,
Valentine & Kirk, Belfast) is the chairman of the Board of Directors; H.
Reynolds, manager; and R. Osborne, clerk. A spinning factory has also been
built at Carrick (two miles distant), by Andrew Given, Esq. Various
arrangements have been recently made for the better conducting of sales, and
it is hoped that these changes will improve the already good trade of this
locality. Of our several benevolent and beneficial associations the most
interesting are the Young Men's Societies. Of these there are three - the
Mutual Improvement, the Christian Association, and Parochial Young Men's
Christian. With these may be connected the Bible and Colportage Society,
together with the Provident Society, managed by a committee of the ladies of
the town. Another institution worthy of mention is the Kennaught Farming
Society. It is for the encouragement of agriculture, and the rearing of a
superior class of cattle. The population of the town in 1862 was 3,000.
