LETTER LXXII. 



Tullamore Park, Oct. 17, 1818. 



travelled by the side of Newry Water, 

 which is made navigable for vessels of two hun- 

 dred tons burden, by means of the lock, to 

 which I before alluded, that opens into the bay 

 from which they are received. We have seen 

 no town in Ireland which for its size appeared 

 in a more thriving state than Newry. The 

 Black Water River approaches within a few 

 miles of Armagh. 



The boundary of Newry Water, on the 

 southern side, is bold, and the mountains, 

 which are cultivated to a great height, add not 

 less to the beauty of the country than to the 

 satisfaction of the spectator j for wherever the 

 indications of employment and industry are 

 discoverable, an inference may be drawn that 

 the inhabitants are not destitute of some com- 

 forts : in all other parts of the British empire, 

 on this inference might the benevolent observer 

 securely rely.
