COUNTY OF THE TOWN OF GALWAY.
MOST DESIRABLE RESIDENCE.
TO be LET, from the Ist of MAY next, for an
unlimited term, or the Interest in the property sold,
GLENLOE ABBEY, with about 127 statute acres of land.
The well-known beauty of this romantic seat, within two miles of the
town of Galway, on the direct road to Oughterarde, its magnificent
woodland scenery, and the advantages it possesses as a suburban
villa, require no eulogy.
To those who wish to secure an admirable and unique mansion—
wanting scarcely anything that art or taste can suggest, an opportu-
nity such as the present very rarely presents itself.
The House is exceedingly well situate with a southern front—and
commanding an expansive and picturesque view of Lake Corrib.
It has every accommodation a family of distinction can desire, ii
which are included, three reception rooms, nine bed chambers,
closets, halls, corridors, cellars, kitchen, pantry, laundry, servants'
hall and sleeping rooms, dairy, turf and coal lock-up houses, with
very appropriate and well-built offices, stewards' apartments, garden,
farm-yard, &c.
The demesne, to which Turbary is annexed, comprises, within a
ring fence, prime arable meadow and pasture land—some of the
latter being occasionally flooded, will, as a matter of course, be con-
siderably enhanced by the contemplated drainage of the Corrib. It
is also well stocked with Valuable and ornamental timber shrubs, &C.
Its preserves are supplied with game, its waters with a variety Of
fish, and to those who enjoy it afford aquatic amusement. In fact,
this beauteous abode, to be properly appreciated, must be viewed.
Further particulars obtained from the Right Hon. Lady Ffrench,
G]enloe Abbey ; Thomas Coming, Esq„ Galway ; or Messrs. J. and
J. Blakeney, 20, Gloucester-street, Dublin, or Galway.

GOLDEN FLAX LINEN and the REGIS-
TEREDSHIRT WAREHOUSE.

42, REGENT-CIRCUS, PICCADILLY.
The Proprietor begs to state that in the form of the REGISTERED
SHIRT a very great improvement is effected, yet care is taken to
preserve the easy looseness so necessary to this garment, together
with a plain smooth setting front, and to retain this appearwace
during the whole time in wear. But a further and a most impo'rtant
advantage is offered—the material of those parts seen, the
fronts, collars, and wristbands, are composed of the Goldrm Flax
Linen, now so widely celebrated for the purity of its blea ch, thus
presenting a beautiful snow-white appearance. The Proprietor fur-
ther begs to state, that rigorous attention is given towards moderate
prices and excellence of workmanship. Any philanthrovie lady or
gentleman who may he desirous of giving employment 1$) persons of
reduced means with such intention, the Proprietor of f ais establish-
ment will be happy to to-operate, and merely requires to see a spe-
cimen of work, and a card of the lady or gentleman r !commending.
Samples of the Golden Flax Linen, or Cambric, with prices and di-
rections for self-measurement, will be cheerfully forvrarded by post
to non-residents in London. Also an assortment of the highly-pa-
tronised Golden Flax Cravat Collar can be obtalned.by application,
addressed as follows :
The Registered Shirt Warehouse, 42, Regent-circus, Piccadilly.

r rHE OPERA.—The pure white, simple elegance,
Ji. and perfect fit of the GOLDEN FLAX CRAVAT COLLAR
stamp it as a most gentlemanly article of dress at all times, but for
Full Dress it is indispensable. It needs no additional cravat; in one
article is combined both collar and cravat. Articles composed of
cotton possess a dingy or yellow appearance, or speedily assume it ;
linen, on the contrary, from its superior fabric, is capable. of receiving
a higher bleach, and of retaining its snowy whiteness to the last.
The Cravat Collar is made exclusively from the Golden Flax Linen,
a fabric which is known to surpass all others in purity of bleach and
beauty of texture.

N.B.—Each Cravat Collar is stamped "JOIIN TATTERSON,
London, registered 29th August, 1845," and may be..obtalned at a3l
hosiers, outfitters, &c.
