On the hanks of the river, and adjacent to the town, is fine demesne of John Ruxtan, Esq. ; opposite to this are the extensive flax mills of Francis Blundell, and not fur distant is a paper mill. The chief business of this place is in corn and flour, and this is carried on to a considerable extent. Indeed few inland towns are better situated for the flour trade than Navan, for it is well supplied with water, and the transport of goods is much facilitated by the canal, which opens a ready communication with Drogheda. The church is a very beautiful edifice, lately erected, and furnished with at very fine organ. The Catholic chapel is also at spacious building; its entrance and garden are worthy of the stranger\u2019s notice. Navan also possesses a county infirmary and fever-house ; a court-house, and an extensive Catholic seminary, conducted by the Rev. Eugene O&#8217;Reilly. The town is governed by a portreeve, in the person of the Rev. T. D. Hamilton. The market days are Wednesday and Saturday, and fairs are held on Easter Monday, June 4th, September l3th, and December 6th. The population is computed to be upwards of 4,500.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1153\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swilson.info\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Navan_Img49-b-50.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1153\" class=\"wp-image-1153 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swilson.info\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Navan_Img49-b-50-300x234.jpg\" alt=\"Navan, Co.
