_t has been a great misfortune to Denmark that
there has been a repeated failure of male heirs to the throne..
There was no male heir for a century after the death of
Christopher 111., in 1448 ; and for some time past there
has again been difficulty and danger to the State from the
same cause. It is not to wondered at ; for marriages of
consanguinity have been far too common in the Royal
house of Denmark ; and deterioration of the quality of fami-
lies, and troubles about succession, are the proper conse-
quences of such marriages. One of the best features of the
proposed connection is, there being no relationship in the
cane; and where the choice is so restricted as that of
Royal children is by our Royal Marriage Act, and by State
religion and policy all over Europe, it is a great blessing
that our Prince will marry a Protestant Princess out of a
fresh family, who will bring new blood into our Royal
house.—Ones a Wee*.

Our Princess Royal, the Crown Princess of Prus-
sia, is understood to have been the chief mover in bringing
together her brother and the daughter of the future King of
Denmark. To most people's minds this is delightful. It
shows that the private happiness of the young people is the
first consideration ; and, if we are to look at the matter in tt
political light, it certainly appears to reasonable peopl
that the best chance of a pacific arrangement arises frorrz
the knitting of a family bond between the Royal house! of
Prussia and Denmark. It is impossible to help thin
that the next heir to the Prussian throne must be kindly
disposed towards the Danish house, while desiring a mar-
riage between that and the English Royal DinillY•°7lce a
Week.
