MOVING Boo.—Extract of a letter from Clara,
Ireland, Jane 27, 182 1 .—" About seven o'clock on
the evening of the 26:11 inat. this neighbourhood
was thrown into great confusion, by the south fruit
of Ballykillion bog, a large and extensive one, con-
taining one and a half square miles, which nevi r
had been drained, or in any way improved, gave
way to the depth of 25 feet, running witit gre..t
violence, and carrying all befiire it; tore up the
meadow land, and curried it along fl wring on its
sartiice. Its direction was across au extensive ea --
ley ; it dislodged a river, and ran with astonishing
violence against an opposite his, then recoiled aml
ran down the valley until it met with another hid
mind a road, which checked its progrecx, after pilt g
up in large broken fragments an isameme heal• t•f
bog, from 20 to 40 feet deep, and covering alx.•.t
130 acres of choice meadow and pasture land, let
frill '2 to SI. per acre, the property of the reprr •
sentative of the late Geo. Cbbhorn, Esq, i.f Moiete ;
its progress was awftit, its noise tremendous, unit
people could with difficulty, drive off the cattle.—
The water is now confined, the river stopped hp,
and the most serious apprehensions are entertained
that the water will again put the huge mass in mo-
tion ; if so, it ie likely 1,000 acres of meadow wt.!
, be destroyed, uuless timely prevented by imrnewe
labour. The draining of bogs ought to be immee:
ately attended to, and a •me properly digested p 1...►
adopted ; th, volr want employment, and it m 4.4
be of national advantage to undertake bringing sue
huge masses into cultivation."
