Srate Prison Emevrg.—Last Thursday afternoon eight of the convicts at San Quentin, all Mexicans and negroes, working in the rear of the State Prieon, rushed to the stables, seized four horses and attempted to escape. Two of the horses threw their riders; the other two riders tried to cross the line of the guards, who killed one horse, and shot the-rider of the other horse through the body with a rifle ball, The rider on the killed horse was a negro who was convicted for the Folsom robbery. He was shot in the wrist and shoulder, These shots stopped the fegitives, and the guards soon had them all in custody. The prisoner shot in the body is supposed to be mortally wounded.

His death, though long expected, ereated a profound sensation througheut the country and especially in Missouri, which State he has rep: resented so long and ably on the floor of the American Senate. Both houses of Congress utfed on the announcement of his death, aud his funeral was attended Ly the President, Cabinet, Supreme Judges, foreign ministers, and members of Congress. His remains were sent to St. Louis, in accordance with his request, to be interred in Bellefontane cemetery, by the side of his wife and other members of his family, A well-attended public meeting was held in St. Louis on the day of his death, brief eulogies were pronounced by several gentlemen, appropriate resolutions adopted, and a committee appointed to make the necessary arrangements for a public demonstration of respect to-his memory. Col. Benton occupied a set in the Senate for six consecutive terms, from 1820 to 1850, and took a prominent and influential part in all the leading political questions which arose during that period. He was identified with the suecess of all the financial measures of the administration of Gen. Jackson, and aided materially in the establishment of the independent treasury, which has proved the only safe system in the management of the fiscal affairs of the governmént: Itisa sufficient eulogy upon his intellectual ability, to say, that amoung such men as Clay, Webster, Calhoun, and the other great statesmen of his time, he held no inferior positien. Like his great ecompeers, it was his fortune to outlive the petty assaults engendered by the heated political discussions in which he took a positive and leading part, and the American people will now do honor to his memory. He lived long enough to complete his great work, the abridgement of the debates of Congress, from the feundation of the government down to and including the year 1850, The last chapter was finished two or three days previous to his death; he was not able to speak aloud at the time, and the sentences were whispered in the ear of his daughter, Mrs. Carey Jones, who repeated it aloud to her husband, by whom it was written down. It was afterwards read over to Col. Benton and received his corrections. Col. Benton was born in Orange county, North Carolina, March 14th, 1782, and was consequently a little over seventy-six years of age at the time of his death. He leaves four daughters, two of whom were present during his last hours. Mrs. Benton died in 1854, and his only‘son, Randolph Benton, a young man of much promise, died at St. Louis, in 1852. The Kansas Constitution. The news received by the late arrival of the mail steamer, as telegraphed to the papers, stated that the Kansas Constitution recently framed at Leavenworth extended the elective franchise to all negroes and aliens over twenty-one years of age. The item was immediately picked up by the Leeomptonites, who imagined they could make capital for their cause by harping on the negro sympathies of the free State party in Kansas. It turns out, however, that the dispatch was incorrect. The Leavenworth Constitution does not permit negroes to vote, although the first Legislature elected uader it are directed to provide for the submission of the question of universal suffrage to a direct vote of the people, which is perfectly proper. The “citizens of the United States” as used in the Coustitution will not, and evidently was never intended to include negroes, as the Supreme Court have decided that they are not citizens. Foreigners who have declared their intention to become citizens are éntitled to vote after a six months residence in the State. The Leavenworth Constitution is perhaps as good as either of the others which have been framed for the inchoate State and if it suits the people of Kansas they have the right to adopt it and live underit. The following are the provisions of the Constitution in regard to the right of suffrage : Article 2. Sec. 1. In all elections not otherwise provided for by his Constitution, every male citizen of the United States of the age of 21 years or upward, who shall have resided in the State six months next preceding such eleetion, and ten days in the precinct in which he may offer to vote, and every male person of foreign birth of the age of 21 years or upward, and who shall have resided im the United States one year, in this State six months, and in the precinct in which he may offer to vote ten days next preceding such election, and who shall have declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States, couformably to the laws of the United States, ten days preceding such election, shall be deemed a qualified elector. Sec. 12, of Schedule. The first General Assembly shall provide by law for the submission of the question of universal suffrage to a vote of the people at the first general election of the members of the General Assembly, provided that the qualifications of voters at that election shall be the same as at the vote on the submission of the Constitution. Negroes are not permitted to vote on the adoption or rejection of the Constitution, and consequently will not be permitted to vote on the question of universal suffrage. Francs.—The Emperor Napoleon will, it is thought, visit Queen Victoria this summer, and the latter contemplates a trip to Berlin. The ancient animosity between the French and Austrians is reviving, and trouble is anticipated, A French journalist, in a letter written from Naples, states that Orsini on his trial made the alarming declaration (which ne journal was allowed to print.) that ‘there are one thousand Italians who have sworn to strike Louis Napoleon ere the Fase 1858 shall pass,’’ and that they would follow him without cessation. These men, according to the writer, are members of “the long existent secret society,’ of which the Emperor was also a member. Graat Brirain.—English dates have been received up to March 3let, but they contain no news of importance. Lord Derby’s bill for the government of India had been mene’, and is said to greatly resemble a similar measure offerad by Lord Palmerston.

Oa the third night he reached Fort Langley, called 40 miles above the mouth of that river, and on the sixth arrived at Fort Hope. one hundred miles above the same. In all he was twenty days from Dungeness to a point on Thompson’s river, sixty-five miles above its mouth. é first found the color opposite Fort Hope. He prospected the whole distance of 165 miles to his entire satisfacttion, and found the prospects to . range from five cents to the pan down to no color. .

When the case was taken to the Gourt of Aix, the judges referred the matter to a commission of three ship masters, who reported that the collision was owing to the irregular movements of the Lyonnais, and not to any fault of the Adriatic. Notwithstanding this report of their own experts, fhe court decided against the Adriatic, confiscating the vessel, freight, and two thousand francs of Capt Durham’s private property. The Captain thereupon determined to escape, having been detained ten months by the French courts. He says he . has met with pecuniary loss much greater than the value of the vessel. Tae Two Extremes.—The St. Louis Democrat has the . following paragraph, upon the arrival of Col. Benton’s re. mains in that city : ; “By its side was the little coffin containing the bedy of the Statesman’s grandchild, McDowell Jones. Each body was inclosed in an air-tight zinc case, which was laid with. . in a mahogany coffin. A lid was raised so as to allow . friends to look through a glass on the faces of the dead. The face of the Great Missourian wore that expresion of . majestic placidity which was habitutal to himin life, The . lips were slightly open, the eyes closed, and every lincament in the face ina state of repose that indicated how atormy life There was no discoloration or wrinkle to be . seen, and the presence of death was visible only in the .

They had just before been angrily engaged in conversation. Crowds of members and others rushed in and separated blows. Mr. Helper was temporarily taken in charge by the eant-at-Arms. A number of ladies who were on the floor, and witnesses of the a were much frightnd on Mr. Helper, who made no attempt to usethem.

This location will be at Folsom, a best calculated fora State Prison. The fexhaustible deposits of granite, and clay, and stone for building purposes, the extensive watcr privileges thereabouts, and the contiguity of the penitentiary to thickly seitled settlements, give to Folsom advantages unpossessed by any other place in California, There is no doubt that this Branch Prison, under proper and judicious management, will, in a short time, not only vastly reduce the expenses of our penitentiary system but become a self-supporting institution. ’ Parpoxep.—Governor Weller, on Saturday, } pareoned Margaret Hall and Ah Cheang, convicts in the Penitentiary.

Srate Prison Emevrg.—Last Thursday afternoon eight of the convicts at San Quentin, all Mexicans and negroes, working in the rear of the State Prieon, rushed to the stables, seized four horses and attempted to escape. Two of the horses threw their riders; the other two riders tried to cross the line of the guards, who killed one horse, and shot the-rider of the other horse through the body with a rifle ball, The rider on the killed horse was a negro who was convicted for the Folsom robbery. He was shot in the wrist and shoulder, These shots stopped the fegitives, and the guards soon had them all in custody. The prisoner shot in the body is supposed to be mortally wounded.

His death, though long expected, ereated a profound sensation througheut the country and especially in Missouri, which State he has rep: resented so long and ably on the floor of the American Senate. Both houses of Congress utfed on the announcement of his death, aud his funeral was attended Ly the President, Cabinet, Supreme Judges, foreign ministers, and members of Congress. His remains were sent to St. Louis, in accordance with his request, to be interred in Bellefontane cemetery, by the side of his wife and other members of his family, A well-attended public meeting was held in St. Louis on the day of his death, brief eulogies were pronounced by several gentlemen, appropriate resolutions adopted, and a committee appointed to make the necessary arrangements for a public demonstration of respect to-his memory. Col. Benton occupied a set in the Senate for six consecutive terms, from 1820 to 1850, and took a prominent and influential part in all the leading political questions which arose during that period. He was identified with the suecess of all the financial measures of the administration of Gen. Jackson, and aided materially in the establishment of the independent treasury, which has proved the only safe system in the management of the fiscal affairs of the governmént: Itisa sufficient eulogy upon his intellectual ability, to say, that amoung such men as Clay, Webster, Calhoun, and the other great statesmen of his time, he held no inferior positien. Like his great ecompeers, it was his fortune to outlive the petty assaults engendered by the heated political discussions in which he took a positive and leading part, and the American people will now do honor to his memory. He lived long enough to complete his great work, the abridgement of the debates of Congress, from the feundation of the government down to and including the year 1850, The last chapter was finished two or three days previous to his death; he was not able to speak aloud at the time, and the sentences were whispered in the ear of his daughter, Mrs. Carey Jones, who repeated it aloud to her husband, by whom it was written down. It was afterwards read over to Col. Benton and received his corrections. Col. Benton was born in Orange county, North Carolina, March 14th, 1782, and was consequently a little over seventy-six years of age at the time of his death. He leaves four daughters, two of whom were present during his last hours. Mrs. Benton died in 1854, and his only‘son, Randolph Benton, a young man of much promise, died at St. Louis, in 1852. The Kansas Constitution. The news received by the late arrival of the mail steamer, as telegraphed to the papers, stated that the Kansas Constitution recently framed at Leavenworth extended the elective franchise to all negroes and aliens over twenty-one years of age. The item was immediately picked up by the Leeomptonites, who imagined they could make capital for their cause by harping on the negro sympathies of the free State party in Kansas. It turns out, however, that the dispatch was incorrect. The Leavenworth Constitution does not permit negroes to vote, although the first Legislature elected uader it are directed to provide for the submission of the question of universal suffrage to a direct vote of the people, which is perfectly proper. The “citizens of the United States” as used in the Coustitution will not, and evidently was never intended to include negroes, as the Supreme Court have decided that they are not citizens. Foreigners who have declared their intention to become citizens are éntitled to vote after a six months residence in the State. The Leavenworth Constitution is perhaps as good as either of the others which have been framed for the inchoate State and if it suits the people of Kansas they have the right to adopt it and live underit. The following are the provisions of the Constitution in regard to the right of suffrage : Article 2. Sec. 1. In all elections not otherwise provided for by his Constitution, every male citizen of the United States of the age of 21 years or upward, who shall have resided in the State six months next preceding such eleetion, and ten days in the precinct in which he may offer to vote, and every male person of foreign birth of the age of 21 years or upward, and who shall have resided im the United States one year, in this State six months, and in the precinct in which he may offer to vote ten days next preceding such election, and who shall have declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States, couformably to the laws of the United States, ten days preceding such election, shall be deemed a qualified elector. Sec. 12, of Schedule. The first General Assembly shall provide by law for the submission of the question of universal suffrage to a vote of the people at the first general election of the members of the General Assembly, provided that the qualifications of voters at that election shall be the same as at the vote on the submission of the Constitution. Negroes are not permitted to vote on the adoption or rejection of the Constitution, and consequently will not be permitted to vote on the question of universal suffrage. Francs.—The Emperor Napoleon will, it is thought, visit Queen Victoria this summer, and the latter contemplates a trip to Berlin. The ancient animosity between the French and Austrians is reviving, and trouble is anticipated, A French journalist, in a letter written from Naples, states that Orsini on his trial made the alarming declaration (which ne journal was allowed to print.) that ‘there are one thousand Italians who have sworn to strike Louis Napoleon ere the Fase 1858 shall pass,’’ and that they would follow him without cessation. These men, according to the writer, are members of “the long existent secret society,’ of which the Emperor was also a member. Graat Brirain.—English dates have been received up to March 3let, but they contain no news of importance. Lord Derby’s bill for the government of India had been mene’, and is said to greatly resemble a similar measure offerad by Lord Palmerston. Parliament had urned for the Easter Hollidays, e Atlantic Telegraph Company had received a letter from the Admiralty announcing that in conformity with the request of the company, the ro grew gpa would be immediately commissioned and commanded by a captain, and also yn Berwa other vessels would be uttached to the Agamemnon for the special service on which she is te he employed.

When the case was taken to the Gourt of Aix, the judges referred the matter to a commission of three ship masters, who reported that the collision was owing to the irregular movements of the Lyonnais, and not to any fault of the Adriatic. Notwithstanding this report of their own experts, fhe court decided against the Adriatic, confiscating the vessel, freight, and two thousand francs of Capt Durham’s private property. The Captain thereupon determined to escape, having been detained ten months by the French courts. He says he . has met with pecuniary loss much greater than the value of the vessel.

This location will be at Folsom, a best calculated fora State Prison. The fexhaustible deposits of granite, and clay, and stone for building purposes, the extensive watcr privileges thereabouts, and the contiguity of the penitentiary to thickly seitled settlements, give to Folsom advantages unpossessed by any other place in California, There is no doubt that this Branch Prison, under proper and judicious management, will, in a short time, not only vastly reduce the expenses of our penitentiary system but become a self-supporting institution. ’ Parpoxep.—Governor Weller, on Saturday, } pareoned Margaret Hall and Ah Cheang, convicts in the Penitentiary.
