Effect of the News at the North.

The New York Express calls upon the people to ‘"keep cool,"’ yet says it is their duty, ‘"under such a storm, to organize and arm."’ The coasts, harbors, and lakes must be fortified, and the militia system perfected. ‘"The only way to be respected by England, is, with bayonets in hand, and swarms of privateers ready to launch out upon the seas."’

The Philadelphia Inquirer whistles violently to keep its courage up, and affects to believe that the rage of the British lion will soon be appeased. Nous nerrons.

The New York Herald advocates thorough preparation for defence, and vainly endeavors to conceal its apprehensions of a war with Great Britain.

In consequence of the news from England, cotton went up to thirty-six cents per pound in the New York market.
