He says that Cassius has an "itching palm," and is corrupting their noble cause by resorting to extortion in order to gain wealth for their armies. He also, ironically, is angry because Cassius has not sent him money since Brutus can "raise no money by vile means." He seems most troubled by the fact that the nobility of their assasination seems to be threatened. He is also most likely less composed than he has been throughout the play because he has just received news of the death of his wife, Portia.
The Rubicon river, in Caesar's time, was the boundary between Gaul and Italy. Caesar had been ordered by the senate to disband his army and come to Rome for trial. This was an insult to Caesar and to his army. When Caesar crossed the Rubicon into Italy he began the civil war which, at its conclusion, left Caesar in supreme power.
Rubicon - returning legions had to be disbanded at that river north of Rome so that there was no suggestion that they were marching on the city.

Caesar's term as consul had expired and he was ordered to return to Rome and to leave his army in Gaul for the next commander to take over. He was forbidden from taking the army out of Gaul, the border of which was marked with the Rubicon River. Caesar feared that if he came to Rome without an army, he would be made into a political nonentity by his rival Pompey. He therefore disobeyed orders and brought his army to Rome. Once he had crossed the Rubicon, he had committed treason.
