While it is believed that California will suffer less from civil war than any other Sute, the apprehension of ser:ou« business derangements bore, is seriously en*» tertained. The effect of the war news is moat perceptible In embarrassing treasure move ments. Last night a ineeling of bankers was belJ, to deteruiiue tho beet policy to pursue about shipping treasure to Mow ork by Ocean steamers, but nothing dotinite was ar ranged. The inaurance agents refuse U in sure treasure against the huzards of war. The Eichange market is consequently very much unsettled. Some 9*!gbl drafts on New \ ork wsre purchased at four per cent, to remit eastward by tc-day s Pony Ex press. Some of the York treasure shipped hence by the steamer of the first ot -May, will probably be transferred at Aspinwall to the British West India mail tine.

Tho arrival of Gen. Denver to assume the command of government forces on this coastals the subject of congratulations by many, al though it is not belioved any suspicions ot the loyality of the U.

Magoffin’s Mes. sage says : Tho semi-official announcement of a pacific policy on the part of the Federal Government has been broken. It has involv ed the country in civil war, and if not success*, fully rosiatod, will prove fatal to the liberties of the people. He charges the President with usurpation in croating a standing army, mad with sectional hate to subjugate or exterminate the people of ten or more States. He says that sevon States have established a confederacy which sooms to receive tho cordial and undi* vided allegiance of their entire aopulation.— He thinks that North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas, will soon join it, while Missouri and Delaware, whore public sentiment favors a like step, are considering the propriety of joining the confederacy He declares the American Union dissolved and that war ex» ista. , to. He asks whether Kentucky shall continue with the North and assume her portion of the enormous war debt, being incurred; whether Kefttucky shmlTOßetare ber-own mdependaace and single banded prepare to maintain it, or make common cause with the slavo holding Stales. Governor Magoffin does not propose to discuss the subject, but refer* it to the peo* pie. He thinks, as the Legislature was elected two years ago, it is better to pass a law for a Convention, and the election of delegates. Ho regrots that hi* proposition to arm the Stale was not earned out by the last Legislature.— He" eomplimonta the Commercial Bank of Louisville and tho Southern banks for tenders ing money to procure arms, but be says that he fears from tho refusal of other banks, that opportunities of obtaining largo supplies of effective guQS and munitions of war have been lost. He recommends tho issues of $l,OOO bonds to soouro funds for arms. Ho compliments the ability and accomplishment* of the State Guards and speaks of the co operation of the Executives o! Ohio and Ind’aoa for the preser vation of amicable relation* and trade, but *ays that thoy cannot control their lawless cit* irons, and think* that an armed col’ision will prevail along the whole border, unless effect ive measures bo taken to prevent it. He says that hi* proposition to tho general government to suspend hostilities till the meeting of Con gress, met with no success, and asks that &1) party fooling bo extinguished and that Ken tucky immediately maintain tho peace, honor and safety of her citlrens. Wash inoton, May 7. — -Brigsdior General Cocke, commanding the military troops and defoDcos on the Potomac border of Virginia, says, that Ueneral Buggies has taken up his quarters at Fredericksburg. He (Cocke) is to lake a position in front of Waibington, and in connection with the com mending officer at Harper's Ferry on his left, and thus cover and dofend the Potomac border against invasion from the North. Ho adds - “The capita! has nover boon threatened bv us. It is not now threatened. — It is beyond and outside the limits of the free and sovereign Btate of V irglnia. "The North has not openly and according to the usage of civilized nations declared war on us. We make no war on them—but should the soil of Virginia or tbo grave of Washing ton be polluted by the tread of a single man in arms from north of the Potomac, it will cause opon war.” The Charleston Courier says that the Col lector of that port has boon instructed by the government of the Confederate States to clear prtvato vessels and cargoes until war is declar ed and the will of Congress made known. General Beauregard has left Charleston for Montgomery. The entire Jersoy troops have arrived in this city, and elicit much praise Trenton, May B.— in the Senate this morn ing the loan bill was amended so as to author* ize a lone of two millions of dollars instead of one million as in the House bill, and in that shape the bill was passed. It is believed that the House will concur in the amendment. A bill authorizing the Governor to raise four regiments for the State service to purchase ten thousand stand of tbe best muskets or rifles, and as many field pieces, with munitions of war as the Governor may deem necessary, and to alter the 4,000 or 5,000 flint lock muskets owned by the Slate, was passod by the House thiß morning, and amended in the Senate. Bills organizing the oily of Newark, Tren ton, Rahway, Camden and Bordentown to raise money to support the families of volun teers have been introduced ani will be passed. The Senate resolution of thanks to the Gov ernor, the President, &c , were passed by the House to-day by a unanimous vote. The people are highly gratified by the com mendations which the New Jersey volunteers received from all quarters. We have new sev eral companies which will compare favorably with any troops in the Union, either volunteers or regulars.
