The President and Directors OF this Compa-

The result Of their deliberaton, says the Ro-
anoke Sentinel, is, to complete the works at
that place, to wit: to Lock into the river from
the basin, and if any difficulties between the
lower Lock and Wilson's Island, to remove
them-to make some improvements on the ba-
sin; to widen and deepen it, so as to prevent
the water flowing up so high, unnecessarily
then to commence 1T the guard Lock and re-
move all difficulties between that point and the
upper par, Of the Long Shoals. 1t is believed

ITALIAN WOMEN.

Since he first crossed the Alps, De Bree had
become a passionate admirer of Italian women
He was struck with their beauty but he was
more forcibly struck by that grace of the mind
that happy mixture Of softness and expression,
of quickness and simplicity, of playfulness and
melancholy, which form the peculiar charm Of
the daughters Of Italy. Resembling children in
some respects, especially in what relates to men
tai endowments, they, in all that is connected
with the heart, astonish man with their courage,
dlslntercstedness, and selfdevotion. Bountiful
nature has done every thing for them; educa-
ton but little Their passions are allowed to
grow N wild luxuriance, but their passions are
generally of the softer kind and no women in
the world are more naturally charitable and be-
nevolcnt than the Italian women Little inclin-
ed to vanity, they are pleased with their con
quests for their own sal<es they seldom make
display OF their power, except towards the
person whom they really wish to captvate, and
when once theya have him bound in their slken
letters, they little care that others should wit
ness their triumph. With them it is the heart,
and not the mind, that must be satisfied Hence

FEMALE FRIENDSHIP.

FEMALE FRIENDSHIP.
Madame de Genls' Memoirs contains the follow
ing singular narrative on the authority of the late
Marquis Of Londonderry.
s'Lady Eleanor Butler, now [1778l about %
years of age, was born in Dublin. An orphan from
the cradle, and rich, amiable, and lovely heiress
her hand was sought by persons of the best fami-
lies in Ireland, but she very early announced her
repugnance to marriage. This taste for indepen
dence, which she never concealed, was in no
spect injurious to her reputation her behaviour
was always marked by perfect proprcty; no
man more remarkable for mildness,
desty and all the virtues that embclllsh her sex.-
From earliest infancy she was the intimate friend
Of Miss Ponsonby; by singular coincidence of
events which struck their imagination, they were
both born at Dublin, in the same year and on the
same day, and became orphans at the same period.
1t easy for them to fancy from this that heaven
had created them for each other that it had des-
tined them to consecrate their mutual existence to
each other, and to perform the voyage of life, in
the bosom of peace, of confidence, of indepen-
dence. Their sensibilty enabled them to realize
tlS ilClt lItGiuSilip 81 Increased WIFI
their age that at seventeen they mutually promised
to preserve their liberty, and never to part from
each other They formed from that moment the
plan of Withdrawing from the world, and Of fixing
themselves forever in the profoundest solitude
Having heard of the charming landscape of Wales,
they made secret journey thither in order to
choose the place of their retreat. They arrived at
Llangoen, and there found, on the summit of
mountain, a little insulated cottage, of which the
situation seemed to them delightful. There it was
that they resolved to fix their abode. The guar
dams of the young fugitives however, traced their
steps and brought them back to Dublin. They de
cared that they would return to their mountains as
soon as they should have attained their ma ority.-
In fact at twenty in spite of all entreaties and
arguments of their relatives, they quilted Ireland
forever, and went to Llangollen Miss Ponsonby is
not rich, but Lady Eleanor possesses considerable
fortune. She purchased the little cottage of the
peasants, and the land about the mountain, and
built house, upon its site, of which the outside is
