From the Money article Of the .NeU York Herald,
October | /.

The Richmond Enquirer contains the following:
"A citizen of Richmond who the Custom House
twelve days understood highest
authority that the receipts of the CUSTOMS through the IT,
likely the estimates by IT least 900 The
before he Mr.. Curtis, the receipt of House
Of New York, SLAB 900 in cashone of the largest which
had accrued for time past"
The Enquirer justly throws some doubt upon the
statement, which IN itself ia ambiguous. That the re.
ceipts from the Custom House have thus far actually
overrun the estimates, very fur from being the truth
Future income may be placed at any figure. The es.
Inmates from the Department from the customs were
follows:
Estimated customs for six months, ending
June 80, l643, 900
Estimated customs for year ending June

arrived in time to suppress the fire entirely, thereby

would induce rise of exchange and cause resipments
of specie. This however, has not taken place; the
ports have not been SO large as was anticipated

has diminished the imports S22 100000 and the Go

TMVHESE Pills have long been known
-M and appreciated for their eXlraordi-
nary and immediate powers Of restoring
perfect health to persons suffering under
nearly every kind Of disease to which the
human family is liable.
They are particularly recommended to
all those persons who are afflicted with
any kind ola chronic or lingering disease
as there is no medicine before the public
which has so natural and happy effect up
on the system in correcting the stomach
and liver, and 10 the formation of healthy
chyle, and thereby purifying the blood.
They ave acknowledged by the hun
dreds and thousands who are using them
to be not only the most mild and pleasant
in their operation, but the most perfectly
innocent, safe and efficient medicine ever
offered to the public. Those who once
made a trial Of these pills, never after
wards feel willing to be without them ana
call again and again for more, whch is
sufficient proof of their good qualities.
Headache, Sick ana Neryous.--'rAose
who have suffered and are weary OF sui.
terlng with this distressing complaint will
find Spencer's Vegetable Pills remedy
at once certain and Immediate in its effects
One single dose OF Pills. taken as soon
as the headache is felt coming on, will
cure 1t in one half hour entirely. a,
As remedy in Summer and BOwel
complaints, they display their wonderful
powers to admiration and are far superior
to any thing in use for these complaints.
In Dyspepsia and Liner Complaints,
they stand unrivaled, Many have been
curedin fewsweeks, after having suffer
ed under the dreadful complaint for years.
In Habitual CostiUeneSS, they are de-
cldedly superior to any Vegetable Pill
ever brought before the public; and one
20 cent box will establish their surprising
virtues, and place them beyond the reach
OF doubt in the estimation of every indi-
vidual.
a9 They are invaluable in nervous and hy-
pocondrlacal affections, loss of appetite
and all complaints to which females alone
are subject. They are mild in their ac-
ilon, and convey almost immediate con-
vicllon Of their utility from the first dose
Ihey may be taken by persons of any
age; the feeble, the infrm, the nervous
