The best part of Clonmell, like ihai ol most of the good towns in Ire laud, is composed of barracks. In the time cf war, they used to gather in recruits here from all quartets, and drill them in their military exercise, previously to petssing them on to Cork, tor embarkation to fo rein service. It. was likewise a depot for various military stores, and its communica tion ryith Water lord by the. river, renders it a favorable situation tor inland trade.
