NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

WooLwten, MAY B.—The Basilisk steam vessel has
I had her departure from Woolwich deferred until to-
morrow, when she will leave for Greenhithe, and after
her compasses have been adjusted «ill proceed to De-
vonport with the Niger, the trial of the comparative
merits of the vessels being ordered to take place in the
English Channel.

The Niger steam-vessel is, according to present ar-
rangements, to leave Woolwich on Thursday for Green-
hithe, and Mr. Humphries, chief engineer at Woolwich
dockyard, and Mr. F. P. Smith, of the Screw Propeller
department at the Admiralty, will proceed in her, and
Mr. Dinnen, ono of the inspectors of steam machinery
afloat.

The North Star, fitting for a voyage to the North
Polar regions, is under orders to leave Woolwich on
Saturday next, to have her compasses adjusted by Capt.
Johnson, and will leave Greenhithe on the 15th instant,
en her enterprising expedition to relieve the officers and
crews of the vessels already in the Arctic regions.
The Stromboli steam-vessel, commander Lord Amelius
Beauclerk, is expected to remain at Sheerness until the
North Star is ready at Greenhithe, and will then tow her
to the edge of the ice.
Mr. 'Warren, quarter-master of the Unite Convict
Hospital ship, fell overboard between nine and ten
o'clock P.m. yesterday, from a boat in which he intended
to come on shore. The weather was very rough at the
time and the tide running fast, which occasioned his
being thrown overboard by coming in contact with the
mooring chains of the vessel. His body has not been
found.

ON THE CALUMNIATORS OF THE POLES.
The serf who is in bondage born
Excites our pity more than scorn,
For, nurs'd in brutal ignorance,
He ne'er of freedom ha a glance,
And kept in awe, by knouts and rods,
He views his master's will as God's.
But Englishmen so vile there are
As to enlist with Russia's Czar,
And, in his bloodstained livery,
Tho cause of liberty decry!
These venal scribes have sold their souls
To vilify the gallant Poles,
Whom they would falsely represent
As stirrers up of discontent,
And leaders in all civil war
In every country where they are.
Who thinks this true
Should well review
Their conduct when the Chartists' rose:
And if Beta fights
For Magyars' rights,
It is with Poland's ancient foes.
Perchance, howe'er, this lying taco
Cannot devise a trade less base,
By which they might procure their bread;
But what in tavour can be said
Of noble * * *and people high,
Who friendless exiles can belie,
And slander foul insinuate,
To gratify their factious hate?
These, in their bigotry, confound
Men by no tie of virtue bound,—
And who all holy writ pervert,
With those that but their rights assert.
Thus S" • * ",V***,andE********
Would class Dembinsky with Proudhon,
And that great chief, and his bravo band,
Transport to some far distant land.
But though their blood
Stains Danube's flood,
'Tis not for pay or plunder shod;—
They would strike down
Proud Austria's Crown,
In hopes to raise their own instead.

over the street door, end entered by the drawing-room
window, which was not fastened, whence they proceeded
to ransack tho bottom of the house, when the man ser-
vant hearing noises, awakened Mr. Parkinson and his
son, who lost no time in answering the summons. They
proceeded to search the house, when they heard foot-
steps in the drawing room, whither they proceeded, and
found the door locked inside, which they instantly
forced open, expecting, of course, to me et with the bur-
glars, but were greatly disappointed at finding they had
escaped by jumping out of the window at the risk of
their lives. The police are on the alert for the parties,
as it reflects greatly on their want of vigilance to allow
such an affair to take place.
