Are giving up Business in Westport. THE MONTH OF AUGUST AT WESTPORT HOUSE

A WOED ABOUT FLANNELS. On the present occasion it is uot intended to enter on any lengthened dissertation on this subject, but simply to indicate the train pf thought that ought to be indulged in at this season of the year, and carried out to seme practical and beneficial bearing. The circumstance that medical men so strongly recommend FLANNELS to patients, and more particularly their recommendation of NEW FLANNEL •'•, is surely suggestive. Men who have spent years of patient study, aud who have had vast and varied experience in the exercise of their profession, are notlikely to be so unanimous in their estimate of the value of this commodity, without some very satisfactory reason. The fickleness of the weather at the change of the season speaks to us in an unmisfcakeable manner, to maintain an efficient supply of FLANNEL Underclothing, in order that a scatheless passage may be effected to a more settled and agreeable temperature. What has been most wanted in the district in regard to FLANNEL SHLRTS and DRAWEES, WHITE & PIEIE are now prepared to supply, viz:— CHEAPNESS, Largeness of Size, and the capacity to stand the ordeal of the washing-tub without becoming so of their former selves

The words—" The mind's the standard of the man " are apt to give some m?n au excuse for inattention to their outward appearance, and they flatter themselves that, because their outward appearance is by no means indicative of greatness, they must have superior minds, aud, drawing tbem?elves up in their unseemly outfits, they recite the above quotation in bravado. A cosmopolitan, from appearance alone, would be very sceptical of a man's mind being either great or of any great attainments, if he had not a respectable coat on his back, as the will and the ability to wear a becoming coat are indicative, i:i some degree, of a mind properly exercised. Tic endless variety of configuration in the body of the Saxon, Celtic, aud other races may perplex some to know how and where Coats can be had adapted to this diversity, but a moment's reflection will enable them to see that the most likely place to fall in with tbo proper assort meut is where the LABGEST STOCK of COATS is kept, aud where they can be had from the nominal price of ten shillings up to that which would please a Duke. As Whyte and Pirie are determined to clear out their stock of Coats prior to the close of the financial year, those who want Coats, and expect to get them at moderate prices, will not be disappointed if they go to the proper market.
