CORK.
A Jew days ago the crew OF trawler
engaged in lobster fishing near Kinsale
had some difficulty in getting their an
Choir aboard, it being firmly fixed in
some massive substance in the sand
bank With great trouble they ste
ceeded in bringing it to the surface, and
found, attached to it, an ancient anchor
OF five tons weight, the shank being
over ten feet in length and the bend OF
equal proportions, with small, antique
cannon attached thereto. The anchor,
which probably belonged to one OF the
ships OF the Spanish Armada, which was
wrecked on this coast, must have been
imbedded in the sand for upwards Of
three centuries, and was covered with
marine growth, which, in the course OF
centuries, had been converted into a
hard fossil substance. The anchor was
considerably worn; but it still presents
a massive appearance, and must have
belonged to large ship. 1t was
brought to the lower slip of the Kinsale
Pier, where it is at present an object Of
the greatest interest and curiosity.
