The re ceipts lor sales ol public lands have amounted to the unpreceden ted sum of $G,000,000, being $2,500,000 beyond the Treasury estimate at the commencement of the year, which was supposed to be very liberal. Of the public money, $0 000,000 is in this ci ty, and we find on investigation, is much more completely loaned out for mercantile use than we had supposed. L$y means of a liberal policy towards the other Hanks, by which a million to a million and a half is permitted to remain constantly to their debit, and a great enlargement of loans to in dividuals, the Depositc Hanks are able to throw nearly the w hole of it back into use. The surplus revenue, however, must be a mat ter of deep interest and dillicult ad justment at the next session of Congress. Y.Y.

In the contest three of the inhabitants were killed, and live wounded, and several of the mili tia were wounded, some of them mortally. It is to be regretted that this question of boundary ha never been settled by the govern ment, instead of being left to be a subject of angry controversy w ith the ignorant inhabitants."

Sudden Death. Effects of Opi um. Yesterday morning, Dr. Ruggles, a graduate of Columbia College, was sauntering through the Fulton market, looking at the meal vegetables, priceing some of the articles, and talking with the market folks around the stalls. All on a sudden a gurgling noise proceeded from his mouth his eyes rolled he lost his conscious ness, and down he fell like a log in the centre of the passage. Peo ple collected around him efforts were made to resuscitate life, but alter a few convulsions and sor rowful groans, he expired. A Coroner's jury was immediately summoned, and they relumed a verdict, 4death by fits." Dr. Ruggles was formerly a respectable physician. He began life with fair prospects, buf owing to the detestable practice of dram drinking, he gradually acquired intempprate habits, and therefore lost the respect of his friends and acquaintances. Latterly, in or der to stimulate his intellectual faculties, or to put away care completely, being a phrenologist by faith, he abandoned spiritous liquors, and took to eating opium. The use of this latter drug, opera ting on a feeble constitution, na turally brought on fits, and at last death, without preparation for a "dread hereaf ter." There was a quantity of opium found in his pocket at the examination before the Coroner's jury... A. 1". Paper. Horrid Transaction. On Sat urday last, Enoch Woods of Sul livan, in this county, was examin ed before Elijah Parker, Esq. charged with stabing George Bu kf r, early on Friday evening, in the breast, w ith a dagger of a pe culiar construction. which in strument penetrated his heart, and caused his death in 20 or 30 min utes. Woods is about 05 years of age has long been a resident of Sullivan has three daughters, two respectably married, ami one a widow is a blacksmith by trade, and " has accumulated a good property. Baker was about 40 years of age: and has left a wife and six children. He bad taken Wood's farm to carry it ou to the halves, but they quarreled last summer, and it is said Woods took it into his own hands. Ba ker, however, still lived in Woods' house, where the deed was com mitted after much previous alter cation, in presence of Mrs. Baker and a neighbor. Woods immedi ately locked himself up, probably not know ing the extent of the in jury, and carrying with him the instrument of deat. Woods and Baker have both been intempe rate men the former for a long time. Woods has been commit ted for trial. Previously to the legal examination, a Jury of in quest was had, w hose verdict was, wilful murder, by Enoch Woods.
