LONDON SToCK ExCHANGE.-It is one Of
the most remarkable features Of London
wealth. The securities alone,
and which constitute the national debt,
amount to $500, GOO, 900; the railway stocks
to S4,5O0,OO0: those of the Bank of En-
gland to $l5O,OO0,OO0; to other banks, to
$3.50, 100000; employed in diseounting
S3SO, 100000; and besides this, there are
shares in canals, foreign loans, &C., to an
almost unlimited amount. The stock
market is very susceptible Of being inAu-
enced by political events. The day that
it was rumored that Russia and France had
formed an alliance, bonds, &c, deprecated
$3.50 900, O0c, and seventy firms suspended.

Az EYE TO Republi-
cans at the North, especially Democratic
editors and merchants engaged in the
Southern trade, are hereby warned Of
what they may expect in case of civil
war. The delicate hint is thrown out by
the Detroit Adrertser, which says:
SHOULD a civil war grow out Of the
present excitement, these men could be
convicted before any impartial jury Of
producing the reasonable outbreak. We
weigh our language when we assert. that
the Northern dough-iaced politicians
and editors to whom we refer. are the
real traitors to the Union, and will de
serve to be hung as such, should civil
war ensue. In that event, it will become
the friends Of the Union North, to look
out for the PARTICLES"
Our amiable contemporary evidently
underestimate the number Of traitors
and doughfaces at the North. Should
an attempt be made to carry out its pur-
pose, the price Of lumber in Michigan
would rise to a fabulous figure for the
supply would not equal the demand, pro-
vided Republican carpenters enough
could be found 10 engage in the gallows
manufacture.
The remarks Of the Advertiser plainly
indicate that the battle ground Of a civil
warfare would not be confined to South
ern soil and that is one reason why we
at the North should earnestly deprecate
all movements tending to the bloody and
unnatural strife.-N ]. journal Of Com
