IIOW WILL THE EUROPEAN WAR AFFECT AMERICA ? Fkom present indications there is no good reason to fear that the war In Euiope will inflict serious damage on the United States. The most probable conjecture is that it will be more apt to benefit, than to in j are our material interests. The immediate effect on the stock markets is to raise the price of gold and to cause a slight decline in Government bonds, but these fluctua tions are of small importance to the general public. Any indirect injury they may inflict will apparently be more than counterbalanced by the advance in the price of breadstuffs and increased demand for flour and grain, which is arising from the transfer of great masses of men from peaceful fields of industry to bloody seats of war. One of the most important commercial changes is that likely to arise from the temporary interrup tion of oar commerce with Gormany, but the injury to be apprehended from this quarter is not very formidable, for, at the worst, we can make our cotton hosiery and cloths in home manufactories if all communications with Trussia should be destroyed. The French navy should be able to afford sufficient pro tection to French commerce to prevent any material diminution of the trade of France, and Parisian gewgaws are likely to be as plenty as ever in our markets'. If England continues to remain neutral she will probably perform a portion of the carrying trade of both France and Prussia, and her ship-owners will spare no pains to improve every possible opportunity to extract profit from the com batants and their old customers. It is possi ble, however, that England may also become entangled in the present complication, in which event our own drooping shipping in terests might be rapidly revived, and a new era of American commerce similar to that which signalized the commencement of this century might be re-established. Beyond a feeling of sympathy for this or that combatant, it is not likely that the American Government will be dragged into the war. As in all former European contests, we will probably continue to preserve a strict neutrality. The large body of natives of Germany who reside in our country evidently desire the triumph of Prussia, many of them are anxious to extend material as well as moral aid, but as a nation, however much we may desire the defeat of Napoleon, it does not become us to voluntarily interfere in a European quarrel. One contingency, how ever, may make us, to some extent, active parties in the controversy. It is said that if Spain attempts to aid Germany the Emperor will, in retalia tion, seize Cuba, and any attempt of this kind would be sternly resisted by the Ameri can people. The Cuban insurgents are cherish ing a strong hope that the war in Europe will assist their efforts to achieve independence; and if Napoleon attempts t vent his rage against Spain on them, or to meddle again in the aff airs of this continent, America would scarcely fail to join the ranks of his active foes, aud to precipitate his downfall. TUB PA TMENT OF PENSIONS. One of the lirst subjects to which the atten tion of Congress was called at the beginning of the late session was the necessity for a reform in the method of paying pensions. The injustice that was done the pensioners by the long intervals of payments and by authorizing the deduction of various fees and charges by the pension agents, was dwelt upon with considerable force by a number of prominent newspapers, and sufficient enthu siasm was excited about the matter in Con gress to produce a variety of bills of various degrees of merit, some of which proposed to reform the whole pension-paying business by doing away with the present agencies, while others endeavored to effect compromises that would leave the agents in enjoyment of these perquisites, and at the same time to give the pensioners as little cause ef com plaint as possible. As the session progressed more exciting subjects of discussion engaged the attention of the members, and there seemed to be very little chance that anything would be done in behalf of the pensioners, especially as it was well understood that all the influence of the Pension Bureau and its attaches was directed against any attempt at reform. ' Between the pensioners, who are generally persons of no social im portance, and absolutely no poli tical influence, and the pension agents, who are for the most part well-trained wire pullers, and up to all the fine points of pri mary elections and nominating conventions, lh average Congressman has not much diffi .culty - in choosing. The force of pub lio opinion, however, and a few . cases like . that of Colonel Forbes, . in this City, in . whidh &e extortions practised by the agents upon the pensioners were fully demonstrated, forced Congress tak some fiction; and a bill was therefore passed dtul-g the last days of the session, which, if not exactly the best that could be devised, is at least Bonis improvement over the old method of doing business. SCb.9 important features of this bill, which became a law on the 8th instant, are that it requires the pensions to be paid quarterly in UA of fretui -annually as heretofore, and that H forLidj the agents to receive any fee. from the pensioners for services tendered them, under a penalty of $500. The agents are to be paid thirty cents by the United States for preparing the paper a incident to each pay ment, and although this may cut down Some of the preoent profits, an office with a tole rably large pay-roll will yield the individual holding it quite a respectable income, even if it does not enable him to retire with a large fortune after a few years' service. The bill also provides for the payment of pensioners by means of checks drawn to order and for warded by mail on the receipt of the proper vouchers, except in certain cases where the pensioners are required to appear and receive their money in person. This arrangement certainly has its advan tages, but it is extremely doubtful whether it will work well in the majority of instances, and it is by no means as good as some of the plans proposed such, for instance, as- the one which proposed to make the postmasters the pension agents. A compromise was un doubtedly made in this instance with a view of quieting the clamor for reform, and at the ame time of retaining the present agencies with their political influence. A majority of the pensioners are illiterate, and the Govern ment blanks are notoriously hard to under stand, so that it can scarcely be possible that the forwarding of vouchers and their execu tion by the pensioners without the assistance of some one familiar with their intricacies will not produce confusion, vexatious delays, and innumerable annoyances both to to the Government and the pensioners. An important and a praiseworthy feature of the bill is that which limits the fee of auy attorney or agent who prosecutes a claim for pension or bounty land to $10, if no special contract is made, aud which prohibits a charge of more than $25 in any case, under a penalty of $"00 or less, or imprisonment for five years or less, or both. One of the defi ciencies of the bill is that it makes no provi sion for the severe punishment of such cases as that of Colonel Forbes, to which allusion has several times been made in these columns. It is a notorious fact that many of the pension agents run regular loan offices, and grow rich, not merely by means of the fees allowed by law, but by discount ing the claims of the pensioners at most ex orbitant rates. It is in the highest degree discreditable that Congress should pass a bill of the character of the one under discussion without embodying in it some provision upon this point; and that Colonel Forbes and others equally in fault are allowed to remain in office, and that they have influence enough to prevent a law from being passed which will place a check upon them, is a conclusive proof that a total and radical reform is needed in the whole business of the Pension Bureau. OVIi TRADE WITH CUBA. Tub relations of Cuba to the United States are of supreme importance at the present time, in view of the struggle going on upon the island, and the efforts which have been made to em broil this country with Spain. The latest official returns concerning the trade between the island and the United States will therefore be of in terest. First we give a statement of the value of the imports into this country from the Island dar ing the fiscal years ending J une 30, 13 59, and June 30, 1868, respectively, as follows: 1909. isos.

The increase in the value of the imports in American vessels xv&a K.K21.803. or nearlv 10 rer cent.: while the increase in the amount carried in foreign vessels was 9 1,928,844, or a little more than 14 per cent. In the following table are given the value of the most important dutiable imports' during the two periods: Coffee 133,831 85,175 f rUllS OI ailKlUUS Leather.and manufactu's of 61,802 21,416 Silk,and manufactures of . . 6,9iji9 is, m Sugar and Molasses Brown 43.160.S04 37,598.4S5 MOlafaeB 8,934,999 9,076,856 Melada 656,343 128,450 Candy and Retlned Sugar 8,179 8,260 Total, Sugar and Mo lasses, 152,660,325 1 10,807,051 Tcbacco Leaf... tt,879,9S0 11,218,129 Cigars 1,27,021- 892,143 Other manufactures of.. 21,643 1,268 Tot 1 TobaCCO 183,644 tM 11,640 Wines, Splilts, etc $iz,76i $-t,4-i Wool.and manufactures of. 11,862 16,513 Of the Imports free of duty the greater por tion were made up of gold and sliver bullion and coin, amounting in 13G3 to a total $976,023, and in 1809 to $1,224,883. The most important commodity imported free of duty was cabinet wood, unmanufactured, amounting in value to $117,129 in 1868, and to $137,901 In 1869. Gratifying as is this Increase in the value of our imports from Cuba, on turning to the ex ports of domestic commodities from the United States to the island during the two fiscal years, we find a marked decrease, as follows: . 1869. 1863.

FINANCE AKU COJI JIUItCG. Evening Tfxtcohaph Office, Tuesday, July 19, 1370. i Money is without material change, as hull cated by the bank statement yesterday. The demand Is quite lively owiug to the revival iu speculation, and there Is some drain on business account toward the West. The derangements caused by the incipient European war are chiefly felt in the specie and bond markets so far, but there can be no doubt that commercial values will, for a time, be greatly unsettled and en hanced by the spirit of wild speculation which is inseparable from a state of warj likely to increase the demand for grain and breadstuff. The movement in this direction has alreadv begun, and the end is notyet. We quote call loans at 45 per cent on choice collaterals, and prime discounts at C(a7 per cent, for paper not having more than sixty days to mature. Gold is less excited but variable, the sale3 up to noon ranging from 121120, closing at noon at about 120. Government bonds are comparatively quiet and steady, a portion of the list showing a slight Improvement. The stock market was only moderatelv active, the bulk of the business being in favorite rail road shares. There was a firmer feeling throughout. In City 6s there were small sales of the bonds at 101; Pennsylvania war loan sold at 106. Reading Railroad was active, and sold up to 49; sales at 49J s. o.; Philadelphia and Erie ad vanced, selling at 28; Oil Cleek and Allegheny was steady, with sales at 45 b. o.; Lehigh Valley sold at 57J, no change; and Pennsylva nia at 57. Canal, Coal, and Passenger Railroad shares were neglected. Small sales of Manufacturers' Bank at 31 and Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank at 123. - PHILADELPHIA STOCK EXCHANGE SALES.
