The New York Herald declares that ''the
duties that will be paid into the New York
Custom House during the present week
will amount to nearly, if not quite, two
millions of dollars, and those of the next
week will not be very far from the same
sum. This revenue is from goods already
arrived, or known to be on their way. 1t
is stated by many most intelligent jobbers,
shat the orders which have been sent out for
goods exceed anything that has been done
in former years, and that the revenue du-
ring the present month of February must
exceed that of any previous month "

SENTENCED TO BE HUNa. "A slave named
Sarah Aun, II years old, has been sentenc-
ed to be hung in Spottsylvania county, Va,
for firing the dwelling Of James S. Jones
of that county. Her reason for the deed
was an aversion to living there. There
were ten persons in the house of Mr.. Jones,
and but for the dense smoke which aroused
some of the inmates, it is more than likely
that at least several lives would have been
lost.
