Covent Garden MarTiet, 



51S 



you shift along the continually changeful course of the side banks, the eye 

 catches the ruin of an old chapel, and of the wall enclosing an ancient 

 burying ground. Meanwhile, the right bank bends off to the north, and 

 then gives place to a new swell, which rises to divide the passage towards 

 the north. The southern declivity of this slope is planted, and thus a new 

 outline is given to the remainder of the ravine. 



The jutting and retiring curves of the bank are covered with foliage and 

 rocks. The natural channel of a stream, which tumbles over the rocks at 

 two separate places, produces two pleasing waterfalls. Immediately on 

 passing the wall, the enchantment dissolves, and you find how slender is the 

 partition between a poetic elysium and the commonplace occupation of 

 rustic life. Lord Bristol has planted another very extensive bank at Bally- 

 niaddigan glebe. Ash, oak, willow, pine, lime, horsechestnut, spruce, and 

 larch are thriving luxuriantly. The soil is sometimes bluish clay for two 

 feet^ but, by trenching two or three spades deep, it has been much improved. 

 Several young trees, which might bear under-lopping, are stifling others 

 which cannot be pruned ; among the former are the elms, among the latter 

 the silver fir. The blighting effect of the north-west is equally destructive 

 to the quicks, planted behind the shelter of high loose walls, in the divisions 

 of the higher grounds. The same is true every where else on this coast, in 

 the same exposure. The trees and hedges seem to fly from the enemy; 

 their scanty growth sprouts all from the side most distant from the sea, 

 leaving a ragged, wounded, and blighted rear to the destructive pursuer, so 

 soon as they overtop the screen, whether it be natural or artificial. The 

 best possible mode for planting, in exposed situations, is to throw up 

 ditches, topped with broom, behind whose shelter the seeds of the hardiest 

 forest trees are to be dibbled in thickly. It is not until these have grown 

 to a considerable height, that we can hope for trees of a more delicate 

 constitution. I must not forget that the iSalix caprea, or black sallow, 

 seemed alone to endure the storms from the north-west. I give this hint, 

 that experiments may ascertain the fact more generally. {Statistical Survey
