EUROPE, Special Review of the London 'Change and Notes of Zuropean Finan- cial Speculations. - Tho American Colony in Paris—A Brillinnt Marriage Fete and Social Revolutionism. Polities, Art and the Pa- pacy in Paris. Genera! Sickles’ Banquet and Speech in Madrid. By mail steamship from Europe we have the fol- lowing important and highly interesting special cor- respondence from London, Paris and Madrid, dated ‘to the 6th of March, ENGLAND. Praancial Affairs fo ropeNotes from “The chy. Lonpox, March 6, 1870. ‘Woe are now !n the third month of the year, when erybody expected everything to tmprove, gb that there might be no more complaining in the streets; but you have only to walk from London Bridge to the Bank to satisfy your eyes and ears that no one is contented, Men and women out of employment and unable to obtain any importune you for help, re- gardiess of the officers of the Mendicity. Brokers and merchants tell you they are doing nothing, any you Cannot but believe them; bankers and discount- ers compiain that thdir business, notwithstanding the constant demand for money, is departing from them and going to France or Holland. In fact there is nothing but universal complaint. ‘The whole na- aon seems to want cheering up, yes unable to com- pass a favoravle reaction, ‘fhe government ts doing something in the way of ecomony, which will prob- ably end in further reductions of taxation bemg Proposed tn the coming ‘‘oudget,” and they may, possibly, do something more in the way of extend- ng free trade, by abolishing or reducing one or more of the remaining import duties; but they will do Dothing towards abolishing the monopoly of the Kank of Engiand, oy which money, the great mover of trade, 1s rendered artitclaily scarce wien It ought to be plentiful and artificially abundant, when it ought to be uaturaily scarce—ali to the farther benefit of the rich and to the jurther tmpoverishment of the poor. Such is the present state of things. In this con- ition It ts not surprising that the six militons ster- ling paid away by the State in purchase of the tele- grapis bas been severely felt, despite the benefits that are anticipated from Its dispersion. ‘The funds atthe best are but stationary in price, and people are sky of them at 925( to 923¢ for consols, because stock has been secretly created to an unkuown ex- tent, though under the letter of the law, to pay for ‘the’ telegraphs. And money, which wnen the tele- graph purchase was effected stood at 2!f to 2% per cent in, Lombard street, has advanced to 3% per cert, And we have been exposed to some of the dangers of inflation or speculation, against which we profess to be perpetually on our gaard but are not, in consequence of this telegrapl movement. We are laying cables in all directions to unite us with everywhere, and a fortmight ago ail the shares in the companies embarked ,in these enterprises commanded high premiums, Now they have fallen, and while some are at two discount others at the best command only par, Two cable constraction companies have been “pulled? up to outrageous Prices, and now they are coming down by the run, wo the delight of a crowd of hale rumed “vears,” but to the mfinite perii of the Stock Exchange jobbers. The Underground Railway Coupagy, turoug’ jobving tu tie management and perplexity im the accounts is for the teuth time in the Court of Chancery; and while Mr. Parsons hay retired to bis Snug abode in Hampshire trom the perils of an untenable omice ¢he sisares whic once stood at 135 are siunned by luvestors at 78. The dividends have shrunk accordingly, It ia true that some of the great trunk tines, the Londonand Norse Western, the Midland, the Great Northern and some other railways are working satisfactorily, but the discontent at the adverse conditions just described is not the less conspicudus on this account, ‘There is not, Indeed, much to be said in favor of the finan- clai and commercial virtues whch Jolin Bull 13 fond of arrogaung to himself alone by which fortunes are honestly made and virtuously spent. While these things have been going on ft is nota little remarkable tat a constant demand has pre- vailed for United Siates government securities and for some of them ratlway shares, The flve-twenty bonds are at this moment above par and they have been bought to hold at one per cent premium. Var- ginia State bonds havervisen more than toirty per cent within the last few weeks. Iilinois railway $100 shares are at 111 and they have been done at 113, and the redemption bonds stand at 103. Other American securities might be named which have advanced in someting like the game ratios. But, unfortunately for the self-eiected Erle committee, which sits sometimes in Austin Friag and some- times in Angel Court, and holds its quarter meetings at ihe big but unpaying hotel in Cannon street, their stamped shares do not grow In favor. They say that 760,000 are hed in this country, This may or’ may not be true. Whichever is thé case the commitice as not been abie to persuade More than a portion to send in their shares to be siamped, and their in- fluence in America 1s felt to be proportionately jes- soued, ‘The shares stand at 21, when, if the com- mniuee had really the influence which it claims, they ought to be at $1 at the least, and thus was about the price anucipated by certain’ specalators—prompters of the movement. Tue fact 8, there are too many stock jobbers upon or m constant association with the committee, and these aro a class thatdo not in- Variabiy acquire that position in the punlic esteem which they Uaink they deserve because the odor of riches comes [rom some of their names, Bat if the Engiisn shareholders in the Erie Rail- Way are uOt exactiy satisiied with the way they are represented, neither are those peopie who are interested in the Atlantic and Great Wescecn Ruil- way. There Isso much complication in we affairs of this undertaking that 16 Ig didlcult to say with brevity What is their present condition. Butea meet- ing of some of the creditors was heid the other day to hear Mr. David Chadwick’s report of his nussion to America, whither he went with no better defined purpose tian to do the best he couid for all inter- esis, which really means doing notutng at all ett- ciently, David is not the man to Ide his light under a bushel or to let tae trumpet give an uocertain sound where his own merits are the question. Ac- cordingly he described Nis mission as fail of ins mountavie aiMcuines; but he had overcome them all in spite of opposition that would have defeated any other man but iis gailant self, The accuracy tus unmute hero can be better tested m America than here. Here be persuaded the meeting to believe io tim and in the unity which he recommended, bus tho actual progress he has since made 18 believed to be in inverse ra'19 to the Vehemence of his Speech at we London Tavern inthis behalf, VYne fact 13 that David, since he ceased to be a professional ac- countant and became crystallized into @ mem- ber of Parliament tor a decayed borough, bas lost no opportunity of exhibiing Mus personal Importance. Originally a petty clerk in Macciesfield, for which be now sits a8 member, throngh agenctes which the ballot may perhaps prevent as auoiuer election, he became, through the instrumentality of the jate Jo- sept Brotherton, a parochial officer in the borough of Salford; then he was promoted to an accoupisuip under, the corporation of that lively place, and having subsequenvygoined & firm of established ac- countants in Manchester he mage money during those ties when firms were crashing. Some esian lishments he undoubtedly sayed from ruin, and he has been Instrumentat m reviving others that had succumbed during the panic of 1866. But, afver ail, he is & mere accountant, With &n accountant’s view of every question, however great or complicated; and his preset sailing ts & persuasion that the magic letters “M. P." alter his Hebrew-Saxon name certify the statesmanshtp in which he ts cnormousiy wanting. So, if people here do not very readily ‘rust the Erie committee, they are not more forward 4 trust our iriead David, and perhaps this may arise from their belief that he represents the defunct Bank of London rather than the general creditors of she Atlantic and Great Western Kaulway. ‘Though the atfaira of tha Eurovean Assurance Souiety have not’again turned up with apy particu- jar prominence, there are people m this cliy who, being sharenolders in it, are ltabie to calls, and who exrnesily desire that Mr. Cave’s Assurance bili should pass in the present session, This billig based upon ine American principi¢; but Mr, Cave, the pro- Poser, 1s not the Mr, Cave whe a year or two aco visited America on the atfairs of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway.

Panis, Marche6, 1870, Toe American colony of Paris has lost a “bright particuiar star” in the person of the pretty Eliza- beth Field, danghter of Hickson W. Field, Jr.,. of New York, who married on the 2d instant a young Roman gentlemaa, with the sounding tule of Prince de Triggiano Brancaccto. The founder of the fortunes of this branch of the Field family 1s the veneravie Hickson W. field, still Nourishing as a green bay tree, and who accumulated, a3 a New York merchant, @ handsome fortune some forty years ago, and which, with tue rise m reali estate, has very largely increased. ‘Thus fas another of our young and fatr republi- cans gone Lo swell the ranks of the ancient artsto- cracy of Europe. ‘There wus a tune when these mar- riages of American beauty and fortune to European titles created a sensation and escaped censorlons re- marks, but of late they are hecoming ike a thrice- told tale, There is no denying that an artstocrautc title, especially when persouated by # nice young man, has undeniadle charms for American young ladies, while, on the other hand, the representatives of pedigrees that otten date from the middie ages are naturally carried away by the proverbial beauty and vivacious intelll- gence of our falr counirywomen, whose attractions are in nowtse diminished by the pleasing fact of her possessing a splendid fortune. 1t ts all very well for the malicious to ture up thetr spiteful noses and say, when they hear of an American girl espousing a fine old title, that she has sacrificed herself to her vanity. And it ig just as ill-naturea to declare that @ young man, who happens to inherit a Wue, has soid himself fot fortune because he ia fortunate enough to ally himseit to youth aad beauty, witn the additional advantage of a good estate, Where is the disparttyg) would ike to Kuow, between one of our tovely young republicans and the poesessor of any Europeau titie, evea coyered over, a3 1t may be, wita medieval rush of the Kesu mnernstation.

In “England among the upper classes marriages are aiways carefully adjusted with due reierence to position and toriune, and they are none 33 happy for ina.
