ESCAPE OF PRIsonERs.-We were in
error, says the Lesyenworth Herald, in
stating last week that % prisoners escaped
from prison at Lecompton. 1t was only
an error as to the place. 1t seems that
thiry-six OF thet forty-eight prisoners who
had been taken to Tecumseh for trial, on
charge ofvenus, escaped from that place.
They were placed for safe keeping in q
brick house, with sentinel. They got
out by removing some brick, and have not
since been heard from.

The Rise aud Progress Of e Engh Consatioa BY Z. g.
Greasy, H. A. Third edition, revised. New York; d.
Appleton a Co. For sale by Taylor Maury.
Professor Greasy has supplied what has long been needed
BY the student Of English history In this country and Mr.
Appleton has done well repubsh it. We hear much talk
and read much Of the English constitution but after all the
talking and reading, the number comparatively small who
have any clear distinct and correct idea to what cons
tues the great English constitution. Indeed, there too
great ignorance among the cultivated men of
country In respect the fundamental principles of the Eng
lsh government which than any other monarchy
sembles that Of Many who perfectly familiar
with the character occupation and condition Of the English
utterly ignorant of the distinctive principles Of admins
tration by which they governed This state of things
TO be accounted for in great measure doubt by the
want OF some work of convenient form and size,
hitherto we have had to depend for information
upon the valuable but ponderous volumes of Hume and
others. Professor Greasy has given concise, and
in almost every respect correct history of the rise and
progress of the English constitution, and any
longer find an for not being familiar with its prnc
pes or the necessity that exists for acquaintance with
many of the great principles of the English constitution il Is
useless for us to speak who is of the origin
of many Of dearest rights of this necessity. The
work before may be, and think t would be well If it
were, adopted textbook throughout academies and
colleges.

The anti-Fillmore Know-nohing Convention reassem-

and nominating COL Fremont for President They adhered
however to their nominee for Vice President Governor
Johnston of Pennsylvania The sntFillmore know-noth-

except the tail of their ticket By this fusion Col FREE
mont runs with two tails to his ticket How Mr.. Banks
was disposed Of or whether he disposed of himself
not advised nor have we any adyices to the present
status Of the Stockton and Rayner ticket We suspect
however, that Commodore Stockton will not insist on
having both the President and Vice President from New
Jersey and that he will magnanimousy surrender to Col
Fremont This viii be unfortunate as IT will leave the
tail Of his ticket TO get along without any head 1t will
probably be several days before all this confusion is re-
duced TO order.
