We have been desirous of presenting to our read ers some account of the additional amount of Rev enue brought into the coffers of the State by the "Act foiiicrease the Revenue of the State," pass ed at the session of 1S4S-9. The Sheriffs of the respective counties (with the exception of Ala mance and Currituck) having now settled with the Public Treasurer, wo have been permitted to avail ourselves of the List kept at the offico for the pur pose of presenting the aggregate amount of tax upon the following heads of Taxation : 'THE -RALEIGH TIMES. i S.

It haa not yet ben ascertained by what means the bags CMutd have been stuleB. The postmaster has re covered about a bushel of opened letters. some drafts, checks, die. " All the letters containing mo ney hsve been carried off. It i yet impostible to tell how much money has been extracted ; but it is supposed the amount may vary firan twenty thousand to one hundred thousand dollars. It is considered strange how this robbery could have been perpetrated without being immediately detec ted by the mail agent. No clue Lns yet been had to the robbers or the manoef in which the robbery was affected. Philadelphia, Oct. 14 10 1. M The colored people are holding a meeting to-night in one of llo!r .KitmiiBa in nniWLiilinn tM Turritinc. ell law. It is very largely attended. Several of the colored orators have made flaming speeches a gainst it. So far as my judgment goes, t think these meetings at this or any other time, either here or any place else, areexceeJingly injudicious. " A fair and just compromise has been adopted by Congress the best that could be done tinder the circumstances. The South has yielded much and is sitisfiil. Tli9 North has a full share of what could be be expected. She should therefore be content and cease agitating a question which has so long disturbed the public mind. It would be well to put a stop a f once to such meetings of the year colored people and their abettors. :, St surma, Oct. 10 We had a killing frost on the 8th inst.

Smith, wnS killed at his gin shop in t'uij town, by the. blow, of hatchet in the hands of Mr. Robert Morrison. As all the facts connected with this sad affii' will transpire on the trial, we do not deem it necessary to go into particulars, never thinking it right to discuss such matlersina paper, such discussions having generally some effect less or more on the minds of the jurors. Mr. Morrison is committed to stand his trial at our next Superior Court in March next. This is one of the most di-itrsaiitg events that ever agitated this community. The deceased was one of our very best citizens the father of a large and interesting family. He was industrious, ob liging, and very prompt in his business relations. Washington, Oct. 9, 1'. M.

TRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. We frequently see it stated that the Protestant Episcopal Church is the only religious community which has not been severed bj the agitation of the slavery question. While this is very much to their honor, there are other churches to whom the same high praise is due. The "Old School" Presbyte rian Clinch has not, and wil! not be divided by this question. It acknowledges no " higher (earthly) Taw" than the constitution, and believes that ia upholding the laws of its country it is vindicating the laws of its God. While we regret to see the Ministers of religion at the North engaged in fanning the flames of civil strife, ami counselling resistance to the surrender of fugitive slaves, we cannot forget their departure from tho prndent example nf St Paul, who not only eurrendi'reil a fogitive (Onesimus,) lint proffered fo pay all the damage hit owner had sustained !

The partial returns which wo have received by telegraph from the Congressional election in Flor ida, are favorable to the re-election of Mr. Cabell by an increased majority. In his contest with Gov. Duval, in 1848, his majority was 677. If the reports be sccurate that he gets 61 majority in Leon, 57 in Duval, 13 in St. Johns, he has gained some 30 in those three counties.

A letter in the New York Sun, dated Havana, Sept. 28th, says: The sentence passed on the 23d of Augnst last on the American prisoners of Cnntoy has been re voked and another, inflicting severer punishments, has been substituted. At first they were to be sent to Ceuta, a fortress in Africa, where, in ad dition to their confinement, they would be obliged lo work in the barracks ; but as the sentence now reads, Capt.j Rufus Benson is sentenced to 10 years, Joseph Anthony GraufTons to 8 years, and Thomas G. Hale to 4 years, hard labor in the chain pang of t.'ie Spanish Arsenal Carraca in Ca diz. Thus two more years havebeen added to the sentence, and they will be sent to a place where Spanish pride can be continually gratified by the sight of these unfortunate captives. The following individuals, comprising the crews of the two vessels, havebeen declared innocent siid will soon be released : Nathan Dawson, Robert J. Burdoy, James Norris, James He wart, Daniel Ulair, John Uamar and Andrew Fink-hamed.

On Friday last in the course of the lecture, he pointed out many differences between the forms of the negro and the white race, a large prrportion of which have not been previously remarked ; and in proof of his statements he exhibited a large number of da guerreotypes of individuals of various races of ne groes.

Thermite be tween the head of Deep river and the nearest point on the Yadkin, above the Narrows, has been surveyed and recommended as a railroad com munication between the two rivers. The new Secretary of the Navy, Gov.

So with Mr. Stuart, whose eqa ble temper is never ruffled, even amidst the great est pressure of public and private business. The labors of his Department are very heavy embrac ing a large share of the duties formerly transacted by the State, War snd Treasury Departments. Under the supposition that his patronage Is yet extensive, his ante-chamber ia generally thronged, but he shows no signs of impatience. If he can not serve all, he seems at least determined to of fend none.

Flour has become dull, ard prices declined 6d. per barrel on all descriptions. Only a moderate demand for wheat and prices fur ther dclined Id. to 2d, per bushel, although the wheat crop has not turned out so well in England as was expected. There is better yield of potatoes than had been anticipated. In Scotland the crops generally were good and will turn out well. The overland mail has arrived from India. The Tea market opened at Shanghai with an improve ment in prices. The political news is altogether unimportant. New York, Oct. 11 A. M. The royal mail steamer Europa, arrived here af ter nine o'clock this morning. She brings three days later advices than those by the Atlantic. The political news of the past week is without much general interest. Massachusetts Nominations.

As Mr. Webster was passing out of the room, Jenny turned to her companion and enthusiastically exclaimed" O I have seen a man his very looks stamp him with greatness he is one of the noblest of Americans !" THE MARKETS. Liverpool Cotton Marhet. The cotton trade early in the week was active, hut closed with dull ness this atternoon. 1 lie accounts by tne Amer ica , corroborative of those brought by the Atlan tic, caused the market to advance fully jd., but the speculative demand having fallen off, prices have receded, and quotations mis ween are nearly similar to those last quoted. The week's transactions amount to 40,360 bales, of which speculators and exporters took 18,030 bales, leaving the remainder, 23,310, to the trade. I he imports this week have exceeded the demand of the spinners and exporters to the ex tent of 32,532 bales; consequently, the estimated stock of Cotton at Liverpool is now put down at 481,000 bales, against 565,000 at tho same time last year.
