A FEMALE SAILOR.—On Monday afternoon, at
about half-past three o'clock, as Constable Geale was walk-
ing along the South-mall, Cork, in plain clothes, he
remarked two sailors, who, appearing to be strangers.
attracted his attention. One of them was dressed in white
clothes, the other in a barragon jacket and tromers ; but
from the peculiar tripping gait of the latter the suspicions
of the constable were aroused. Ile accosted them, saying,
" I sup you are strangers here ;do you want to he
anywhere? " The sailors both thanked him, and
declined, saying they knew where they were, when the
constable perceived that the voice of the sailor in the bar-
ragon dress was that of a female. He, without manifest-
ing surprise, replied, " Oh, I know who you are; you arc
a girl, it won't do, I know you quite well. At this
the stranger's face reddened like scarlet, and elle
" Keep my secret; it is true I am a woman, but don't let
any one know it." The constable replied that she might
depend on it her secret would be safe ; but she must at
present go along with him. The constable then took her
to the Tuckey-street station. He told her he wee a
policeman, and that it would be his duty to arrest her,
and bring her before the magistrates ; meantime she
should be lodged in Bridewell. The girl, on hearing this.
turned pale, and earnestly requested to be allowed to re-
turn home. She gave the following particulars of her
history. :—lfer name is Agnes Corbett she is • native of
Limerick, and 18 years of age. Her father and mother
are dead, but she has three brothers, the eldest of whom is
in de employment of Mr. D. Cullen, grocer, Thommill-
gate, Limerick. Her two younger brothers and herself re-
side on a little bit of ground, which is their own property,
at about eight miles from Limerick. She some time ago
formed an acquaintance with a young man named
Alexander Moore, the mate of a vessel, and they were en-
gaged to be married, but she was surprised about a tort-
night ago at her loser's leaving for America without pre-
viously acquainting her of his departure. In the excitement
consequent upon hearing of his flight, she left her home
on Monday week, determined to get on board some ship as
a sailor, with the view of seeking him in America.
She accordingly came to Cork, where she procured
her disguise, and was in treaty with the master
of a vessel bound to America for a situation
on beard as a sailor, when she was arrested and taken oft
to Bridewell. On her way to prison, news of the circum-
stance spreading through the neighbourhood, she was sur-
rounded by a large crowd of persons curious to we what
the "sailor girl' was like. She is not tall, of a fair com-
plezion, with light flowing ringlets, and delicately-formed
hands and arms. Iler manner is graceful and her demeanor
good; and altogether from her appearance one would iina-
gine she never could have had the holdness to form a reso-
lution to work her way to America as a common sailor, much
less the strength to go through the hardship of such an em-
ployment. She is at present in Bridewell, awaiting the or-
rival of her friends from Limerick to convey her •home.—
