29O Corn Market at Drogheda. 



teract the bounty of Providence, and render the 

 most fertile soil unproductive. 



The corn-market at Drogheda is a spacious 

 handsome building. Considerable quantities of 

 all sorts of grain are exported to Liverpool, and 

 some oats are sent by the return of coal ships to 

 Whitehaven. The number of opulent people 

 in Drogheda is considerable, and the society on 

 a good footing. 



We had the pleasure of meeting several of 

 the mercantile gentlemen as guests of Mr. Codd. 

 It was extremely pleasing to be a witness of the 

 spirit and confidence with which an augmenta- 

 tion of the commerce of the place was by these 

 gentlemen anticipated. I sincerely hope that 

 their expectations may be realized. Adieu.
