MIR. WEBSTER AT RICHMOND.

We publish below an extract from the
slight sketch given by the Madisonian,
Of the remarks of Ml -Wnhsler at the
great mass convention Of the people of
The Old Dominion TG fsicrfrcrrss- -lStrss
9Th inst OR readers will see at once
how absurd is the charge made by the /
loco focos that the Southern Wings are
linked with Northern Aboltionists.-
Docs any man in his senses believe that
Mr.. Webster, who is the Acknowledged

Tbs most striking passagoln his speech
mquestonobly, was, that IN which he
referred to the subject which 50 deeply
interests the whole South "Ihere Is"
(said Mr.. Webster) zone perpetual out
cry in all the administration papers from
Baltimore South, admonishlng the people
Of tho South, that their own State Gov
ernments, and tho property they hold
under them, are not secure if they admit
Northern man 10 any considerable
share in the administration OF the Gov
eminent. You all know that that is tho
general cry. Now have spoken my
sentiments in the neigborhood Of Virgin

in June last, and again in the heart OF
Massachusetts, 10 July, so that It is moi
now that proclaim them for tho hrs,

10 speak on the same subject, uttered
the same sentiment in regard to slavery
and to the absence Of all power IN Con
gress to interfere, in any manner what
ever, with that subject. ! delivered ny
sentiments fully in Alexandria in tht
month Of Jnne, and in July at Worces

AZ pence Sterling Nets in the U. States,

The prices quoted tor foreign exchange are not
generally understood; and it may seem strange
that the par of exchange between this country
and England is about 81 premium. The old value
at which the pound sterling was estimated in the
United States is 81 "A, and all exchange transac-
tons are made among merchants at that rate
Now, if you will add TO that sum 81 per cent, it
will give the real value of the English sovereign,
or pound sterling, say 81 IS.
The late act Of Congress, known as the HCom-
promise Act,n fixes the value of the pound sterling
al 81 so, at which rates duties are charged Oh
imports.
Previous to 1882, duties were paid on the pound
at 81 ~. The merchants were 80 longin the ha-
bit of calculating at that rate that the custom Is
still kept up, and exchange quoted accordingly.
