NAVY YARD.

We copy the following article from
the New York Courier and Enquirer
which appends column Of remarks
complaining of the contemplated reno
val. We shall at some future opportuni-
ty comment on the observations of the
Courier g. Enquirer.
Remoual Of the Nary Yard from Brook
Ign. tits with surprise as well as regret, we
learn from the most unquestionable sour
ces, that serious thoughts are entertain.
ed of removing the Navy Yard from thi.
place. for the purpose of creating anoth.
er at Newport, Rhode Island, and tina,
the Navy Board is in favor ofthe meas.
ure.
The grounds assumed for this change
are these
First, that the larger class of ships q
war cannot at all times enter and leave
the port ofNew York, on account oi
winds, &c.
Secondly, That the water on the out.
er bar is not at all times sufficient.
Thirdly. That the ice sometimes closes
the harbor, and especially that part of il
through which vessels must necessarily
reach the Navy Yard.
Fourthly, That a station on Rhode
Island can be selected, free, in grea
measure, from these objections.

self about to give up the ghost, made a
sort Of death bed confession. in which he
stated that he sailed from this port about
lOyears since in the sloop Two Brothers,
Capt. Fosberg, for Africa, and after they
had been absent some time, mutined,
killed the captain and all on board who
would not join them; that since then he
had been in piratical vessel, called the
iSducy Jack, and committed several de-
predations. On his recovery from the
arsenic he was taxed before GEo. c..
Mason, Esq. and after an examination,
committed to Jail. He has since been
carried to Providence to be examined
before Judge Pitman, of the District
Court of the United States.

From tho Winchester (va.) Republican

From the Winchester (va.) Republican.
The PoLEs.-A memorial is circula-
ted in Baltimore for signatures, praying
congress to"designate for the Poles, in
such manner as may be deemed most
proper, at least ten miles square in the
north western portion ofour territory.
Then, in few years, the countryman of
Kosciusko may, in the land of Washing
ton, see free and happy Warsaw rise
up, and all American Vistula sweep. its
treasures to the ocean. Then, in no very
distant time, we may expect to see the
state Poland incorporated in our union"
The idea is noble, and it was conceived
by generous spirit.
From the Richmond Whig
BRAVE PoLANB.-We most deeply SYM
pathise with the feeling, and fully accord
with the propriety Of the suggestions of
the Journal Of Commerce in relation to
the Poles. If the remnant of the os-
pressed Poles seek in our land refuge
from the yoke of their bloody despot,
what American will not sustain, will not
most gratefully and enthusiasticallytha thank
his Government, for assigning them from
the superfluity of the National Domain,
a home for their wives and children!
What principle of International or Con-
s.itutional law, or what power shall we
offend by doing SO! If his Majesty of
all the Russians take our benevolence in
dudgeon, what is easier than to tell him
to please himself as he can, or safer than
10 defy his resentment?
PIRATES ABROAD !-Wo copy the an
nexed paragraph from the New-Orleans
Courier of the 5th inst. -
To the Editor Of the Louisiana Courier:
SIR-The brig Nelson Village, on her
voyage from Belfast. for this port, on the
3Oth Of November, 1881, about $50 miles
west Of the Canary Islands, was chased
by piratical schooner, painted black,
with white moulding-could count from
SO to GO men on deck. At dusk she was
within gun shot; but, fortunately, at that
moment, a heavy squall came from the
8. w. and lasted for two hours (very
thick) which enabled us to make our es-
cape from those bloodhounds. l advise
every ship master to be upon his guard
sailing about the above named Islands
and trust no suspicious looking vessel.
+. KENN, Captain.
Navigation Of New York.-From the
LIST January 1881 to the 3lst December,
