By the arrival OF the ship Elizabeth Ellen, Capt.
staigg, we have received copy OF the ST. Thomas
1Sndesde Of the sth ult, from which we extract the
following
General Santa Anna ex-Dictator Of Mexico and
suite. who we mentioned in our issne of the 9th OF
March, were still sojourning in the island, we may
now further MENTION yet residing here and II we
can judge from the circumstance OF the General hay
ing within few days purchased (if we make our ex-
ceptions the very finest residence in St Thomas il
may be inferred that his Exceency contemplates-st
any rate for period OF time--makng this island his
permanent abode. II may therefore not be Improper
on our part as public Journalist, to announce the
agreeable satisfaction with which the intelligence
of said purchase received throughout the city,
and we echo very general sentiment shared in by the
entire public, when state that II Is much hoped that
all things viii conspire and contribute 10 cause Gen.
Santa Anna TO feel pleasure In his apparent present
determination. 1t is true bis Excellency may find the
society oil the island too monotonous and limited
when compared with capitol like Mexico, and una
dapted to afford interest to mind of such propor
tons but II quietude be object desired and at the
same time the advantages sought Of central position
for acquiring early knowledge OF whatever transpres
elsewhere then his Exeellency could not have chosen
more suitable place. Without descending 10 any
sinister or selfish views, or ndulgiug in interested
motives, we may nevertheless look upon the fact Of
Gen Santa Anna taking bis abode here, as circum-
stance favorable TO the island, as bis reputation is
known far and wide, for being not only an exalted
resided without bis own country but he may Justly be
styled benefactor; TO substantiate this, we need
only refer tothe very feeling address, expressive Of
gratitude, which was presented to his Excelency on
| the eve OF departure from Turbaco place in the
neighborhood Of Carthagena.

FOOLISH VIRGNs.--In the olden times there were

fully as many as that number at this present day. Some
Of them were born foolish, some Of them were made
foolish by the examples OF their weak-minded moth
ers, aud some OF them have made themselves foolish.
See that dashing belle, honnced from her heels 20

gems and precious stones Her mother thinks her an

figure that foolish virgin will cut. II IS awful TO
think OF the future OF these mere butterflies OF

to earn an honest livelihood. She could not make q

She could not knit tidy, though she often kns her
