NAVAL ACTION OFF COILK

The aulph :'aria, Bristol trader, Captain
Cirt.,,,oua master, arrived yesterday, and saw
in the evening of that day, at aboUt half past
three o'clock, seven miles off YoUghal, an
Action between two vessels, which continued
for some time,.and could clear)y distinguish 'that
one was a br?g, and the other a. cutter. After
the fire had ceased, the air appeatled illuminated,
ami when It cleared up, .he could only see the
brig, and therefore concluded that the cutter htid
blown
.up.—ln consequence of this information',
ttne. itQtus have been excited about the Ear?
Spencer cutter, but from the late hour on which'
she sailed, and the different course sbe took, it
appears impossible ilieould have been engaged
with. the above brig.—(Cork Avertizer, Nov. 27.)

tected in offering coach-glasses for sale to Mr. J.

man suspected ,Ilryan had riot come 13ropctly'hy

ceived theta from a young man, at a public-house,
.in folks-street, Cavendish-square. Mr. Glad-
man had him taken. into custody, And brought to:
thk: Mice, When be persisted in the same story,
and described the young man to be one Edward
Footman. A messenger was sent to the. public-
house in I lollcs-street, and found Footman there,
as described by Bevan. When brought to the
Office, he acknowledged having gNett the glasses
to Bryan, *lnd sail that he found them in it ditch
