ANxExATIoN OF AN ITALIAN PRINCIrAiIry TO
TIE UNITED STATEs.-A letter from Paris 10 he
New York Tribune dated June 10 b. informs us
that the Principally of Monaco, the shores
of the Mediterranean, between Nice and Genoa
with population OF $500 souls, and two small
seaports, is a candidate for admission into the
Union of the United States. II contains three
cities, which cover neary all It's area. They are
Menton, The largest, Raquebrune. ard Monaco,
the latter being the capital. The sovereignty of
Monaco is vested in the Princes OF that name :;
but from the year 1871 until SIS it has been un-
der the protection Of Sardinia. In l84S when
all Europe was in a state of revolution, Mention
and Raqnebrupe rrvolied, and declared them
selves independent Monaco, the capital being
occupied by Sarduian garrison remained
faithful. Tho Sandman Chamber of Deputies
has recently prepared a project Of law to incor-
porate the reyolted c,lies aul all the principal
ity into the kingdom as az integral part thereof
without any separate rights, and it was probably
in view of this that the DGke Of Vaentinois,
one of the Princes Of Monaco, made an attempt
in April TO seize his hereditary possessions. He
failed however, and both parties have appealed
to the United States Representative at Paris to
take possession of the territory. The Prince
wishes to sell out to the United States his rights
for the purpose OF raising money! as he is in
needy circumstances while the people of the
principality wish 10 be taken nnder the wing
of the American Union. IN order To secure re-
publican liberty and the protection OF u power
tul government. The United States Secretary
of Legation at Paris has undertaken to iuvesi-
gate the matter. The Seapors are said to be
good ones, and would prove valuable to us while
the territory is described as rich in mines of
silver, iron. mercury. &C. 9ali

"Quite a sensation has been produced here
By the appearance of book entitled g Utah and

startle the whole Christian world. Nieces, it

MARION, ALA, Oct. 10th. ls54.-I am sorry to

black men was dead he rushed down throrgi the
flames to the door. Two or three of the boys are
expected to die-the rest will probably recover
There is, however, no knowing exactly the extent
OF their injuries trust all things better than
we now think. The College building with every
thing in it. is in ruins. Nothing was saved, as
understand. 1t is supposed now that the building
was set on fire, though cannot at present believe
1t. Such iendish act could scarcely be perp.,tra-
ted by any one in this community. The truth will
be known in a few days. suppose

SENTENCE OF NICHOLAS BEEHAS The
closing scene in the trisl of Nicholas
Beehan, for the murder of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wickhsm, at Cutchogue, Long Island, is thus
reported in the New York Herald:
The Clerk, after reading the statement OF
the verdict to the prisoner, asked him the
usual question: Had he anything to say why
the sentence of death shouldnot be pronounc-
ed upon him7
aWell., he replied, call have to say is.
that amt guilty Of the crime that has been
charged upon me. know those who did 1t,
but never prevented it, and now / won't
turn traitor against any man. / never will
let any one have it to say after | die, that
was q traitor. / didn't do it; it was John
Scott and james McCrawdon-they are the
only ones that committed it, and know it.
They gave dollar piece that day to cross
the Sound down near Greenport."
Have you anything else to say" said
Judge Strong.
THAT is all ] got to say any further about
il, he replied; "Iwas in the knowledge of the
murder and never wanted to prevent it,
The Judge recapitulated the circumstances
attending the murder, and then pronounced
the following SENTENCE
THAT you, Nicholas Beehan, on Friday,
the 18th day of December next between the
hours of IL at noon and in the afternoon,
behanged by the neck till you are dead.
And may the Lord have mercy upon your
SOUL
Thank you, SIR said the prisoner with
affectation of politeness, "and / will leave
You my hair for wig"
The manner in which he received the SEN
tence sent thrill of horror through the
court. His statement in relation to Scott and
McCrawdon is believed to be utterly untrue,
as no such men are known to any one in the
neighborhood of the house where the muir
der was committed. He commenced by
saying that he would not tell who commit
ted the crime, and concluded by classifying
his own words. Throughout the whole OF
his trial his conduct exhibited reckless
ness which has rarely been surpassed under
the same circumstances.
