Nuw YOEK, September 3rd, Morning. — The New York Republican State Ccnvention has resolved not to tender peace to men in allms nor to consent to a separa- tion of the-Union. The Convention repudiates intervention, promises to support the Government is maintaining the ascendancy of the American continent, and endorses the emancipation proclamation. President Lincoln bas.addor-essed a letter to the con- vention in which he says he does not beSaeve that a compromise embracing the mtintenance of the Union is now possible. The strength of the rebellion is in its army, and the offer of terms to men within the range of that army is nothing, such men having no .power to enforoa a com- promise. Au effective compromise must be made either with those controlling the rebel army or with -the people under its dominion. No intimation from the rebel army or from the men controlling it, in relation to a peace compromise, has ever come to President Lincoln's know- ledge or belief. -1 If it does come it shall not be rejected or kept secret.' The President mentions that he suggested compensated emancipation, but the people objected to taxation ito buy negroes. He then continues The emancipation proclamation is constitutional. If valid as a law it cannot be retracted; if invalid it needs no retractation. The war progresses as favourably since the issue of the proclamation as before. Peace does not appear as distant as it did, still let us not be sanguine of, a speedy final triumph, bat be quite sober, diligently.' applying our means" neyer doubting that Godwm give;, the rightful result.' No direot confirmation of President Davis's enlisting negroes has been received but it ill alleged that the governors of aU the Confederate States assembled in Richmond, and after a consultation with the Cabinet decided that the salvation of the country required the arming of slaves, and that a call of 400,000 negroes (one for every eight inhabitants) should take place forthwith. NEW Yo ilK, September 3rd, Evening.—RUMOURS are current tLht General Lue U3 making a movement to flank general Meade. There is a considerable Confederate force north of the Rappahannock, below Fredericksburg, The Confederate cavalry have made demonstrations at various points along the Potomac. It was reported this afternoon that Genwml Stuart had crossed into Maryland for another raid. t The absence of further news from Charleston erestes: an unfavourable impression. Admiral Dahlgren is re- ported to be sick. A formidable expedition is about to leave New Orleans for Mobile or Texas. General Blunt crossed the Arkan- sas river on the 23rd ult. The Confederates were falling back. General Blunt is reported to have fought a battte on the 28th ult., resulting in his defeat, with the loss of 3000 men.

George Wiltshire, 31, Margaret-street, said that on Monday last deceased went to an old curiosity shop and bought an old fashioned duelling p'stol for 3s. He said he wanted it to shoot sparrows. He placed a cap on it and said, 'This will shoot well.' The same evening witness noticed a large crowd outside the door of the deceased's house, No. 20, Margaret-street. Upon going up-stairs he found the deceased lying on the floor in a pool of blood, and was quite dead. He had lain down upon the floor with his head to the door of the cupboard, and then placed the pistol, which must have been loaded to the ^muzzle, close to his heart, for the clothes were completely burnt by the powder, and were still on fire when witness went into the room, and then pulling the trigger, inflicted a fearful wound right through the heart. The pistol was so loaded that it recoiled with such force as to smash through the cup- board. Witness found it in the cupboard with the handle broken, and rendered unfit for use. The deceased had taken off his eoat before lying down, and everything seemed to have been done with great deliberation. A policeman said that he was called in, and found deceased as described by the last witness. There was £1 3i in his poeket, but no letter. Deceased was formerly a brick- layer, but he met with an accident in the High Level Sewer. His skull became diseased and decayed, and he bad to wear two plates in his head to protect the brain. He was therefore subject to fits of delirium, especially if he took even a glass of ale, which he had done on Mon- Jay afternoon.-The jury returned » m4wt Qf Sofejde ffhlle of amoand mind.'

THE CORK MODBL OF LINCOLN CATHEDRAL IN THB INTERNATIONAL ExuiBiTioN.-r-The maker of this re- markable monument of patient industry, an agricultural labourer, named Anderton, is said to have collected no less than £ 800 from the visitors. He has expended his money in the building of four cottages, which are now nearly completed, and in front of them is a slab with the following inscription Perseverance, cork, and glue, One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two.' At the time of the Exhibition Anderton was a totally uneducated man; but since then he has made great progress, being his own instructor. How THEY DEAL WITH DRUNKARDS IN NEW ZEA- LAND.-In the Lyttelton Times, published in the province of Canterbury, in the above colony, the following adver- tisement appearsNotice to the public.—Whereas it has this day been proved to the satisfaction of us, the undersigned, being three of her Majesty's justices of the peace, that one Mary Ann Robertson, of Christchurcb, who is described at the foot of this notice, has become a habitual drunkard, and is injuring her health by excessive drinking, we beraby, under the provisions of the 33d clause of the Public House Ordinance, 1862,' give notice that we prohibit all persons from supplying the said Mary Ann Robertson with any spirituous or fermented liquor whatever for the space of two yearj from the date thereof.' This wrfrning is enforced by the threat of a fine of £20, or three months' imprison- ment. SUDDEN DEATH IN A RAILWAY BOARDING Housii- -An inquiry was held on Wednesday by Dr Lankeater. at the Fitzroy Arms, Cardigton-street, Hampsteadroad, relative to the death of Mr George Hopkins, aged 29, a retired Custom House officer, who died suddenlv on Sunday last in a railway boarding house, No. 115, Drummond-street, Euston-square. About two o'clock on Sunday last one of the gentlemen boarders went to i deceased's room and requested him to come to dinner, [ but he declined, alleging as a reason that he had a cold at his chest. Shortly afterwards Mr West, the pro- prietor of the house, went to deceased's room and found him lying dead on the safAL bedstead. Medical aid was immediately called in, but without avail. Dr Davis of Euston-square, made the post mortem, examination, and found effusion of blood on the brain, disease of the left lung, and fatty degeneration of the heart. The deceased had without doubt been a very hard drinker. The Coroner said there was no doubt but that when the deceased felt what he attributed to a cold on the chest it was an arrest of the action of the diseased heart, and the vessels of the briin having become weakened by excessive drinking, one of them gave way, producing the effusion which caused his death. The jury found a verdict of Apoplexy, accelerated by habits of intoxic*on.' MANSLAUGHTER BY A MEDICAL HERBALIST.—On Friday W. C. Maynard, Esq., held an inquest at New- castle, on the body of Jane Sumby, aged forty-nine, w ho died from the effects of a dose of meadow saffron, prescribed for her by Joseph Markus, a German Jew medical barbalist, residing in Church-street. Mr Rob- son attended, on behalf of the Town Clerk, for the pro- secution; and Mr Graham watched the case on behalf of Markus, who was present in the custody of a policeman. The evidenoe proved that the prisoner, when applied to for some medicine, sent a mixture of meadow saffron, of I such strength as to cause the deceased great pain, and i then her death. The coroner, in summing up, said they would agree with him there could be little doubt that the woman's death bad resulted from the mixture pre- scribed by Mr Narkus. There seemed to be some little question as to whether Markus said a teaspoonful or table-spoonful; but that did not touch the question, for the law said that a man was not to practise m such mat- ters until by education, training, and a long course of study, he had qualified himself to deal with these things, which were very dangerous. If they thought Markus I gave the medicine, however well intentioned, be was guilty of manslaughter. As to Markus not receiving any pay for the medicine, that was of no moment, and would not form an element in their consideration. The jury, after an hour's consultation, returned a verdict that deceased had Died from an overdose of meadow saffron.' I The coroner said he took that as a verdict of man- slaughter, and thereupon committed Markus for trial on the charge. The prisoner was than committed for trial as tbe coroner's warrant. PROFESSIONAL AMENITIES.—In a cast at the Exete* District Court of Bankruptcy, on Wednesday, the folio** ing little passage of arms took place between two gentle men by act of parliament':—Mr Fhud said Mr Michel" more had made an offer to him which he had not carriod out.—Mr Michelmore said that was a direct falsehood.* "Mr Floud What! not at the Half Moon ?-Mr Michw* more-: It is a falsehood. Mr Floud Then you must » drunk to say so. -Mr Michelmore I never made on- offer.-Mr Floud You did and if you were to repeat such language out of doors I would knock you down. Mr Michelmore Ycu have no such letter of mine, as to carrying out your threat you would think better of it.—The Registrar observed that he considered observations were disrespectful to himself, and he though' the gentlemen who had used them were sorry for having done so at least they ought to be.—Mr Michelmore re. pudiated the assertion, as it reflected upon himself.—T"? Registrar would rather that the matter dropped, that bygones should be considered bygones. BIBLE AND PRAYER BOOK TO BE PRESENTBD 1'0' HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OP WALES.—AT Messrs. Bugster's publishing establishing establishment 15, Paternoster-row, is now on view a present to Royal Highness the Prince of Wales from the gentletolla of the United Kingdom. It consists of a bible Prayer Book on an oak desk, which is handsomely carved in the mediaeval style. The bindings are very rich costly.

On the insides the ornament is less elaborate but equally done. The fly-leaves bearing the inscriptions of presen- tation upon them are remarkable for simplicity in the design and refined taste in the execution. The edge8 the books when closed display the same amount of and attention to completeness of effcct.
