KING WILLIAM'S GLEN, CO. LOUTH.- The above storied glen is situated near the banks of the river Boyne in the county Louth, and derives its name from the fact that William of Orange, generally called William III. of England, marched through it, at the head of his powerful army, the day preceding the famous fight, which caused more blood to be shed long after it was fought than during its continuance. The glen is, no doubt, somewhat altered in appearance since the day of that "grievous battle," which occurred in "Oldbridge Town" on the memorable July 1st of 1690.
