management, however, there is no greater danger than with
low-pressure boilers, and though the results in case of ex-
plo,ion would be more destructive, there would be no great
margin for choice in either case. The only true causes of
danger, whether in high or low pressure engines, are a de-
fective condition of the safety valve, and the fact of allowing
the water in the boilers to get too low. Every casualty in
connexion with steam-engines has its origin in one or 9ther
of these causes, and, of the two, those of the latter class aro

The Copenhagen Daghladet: of Ma I§t treats the
intention of any visitto'Franee on the p-art of the.,
Danish Sevcreign as altogether a myth. It says
" It was with great surprise we read here the news,
• brought to us by the semi-oflicial journals of Paris
of the 21st ult., of an expected visit to borapiegne
from King Frederick VII., the date being the 6th:.
of October; which happens to be the anniversary of:
his Alsjesty's birth. We were 'entirely ignorant:
here that any such scheme had been projected or
talked about. We also- looked on •it as scarcely

probable that King Frederick would consent to an
interview, especially in a foreign country, with the
German Sovereign who is the leader and principal
mover in all the assaults aimed, on the part of Ger-
many, at the independence and glory of his
Crown."

In the same., number of our semi-official Danish
Contemporary is an article in reference to a match
which has befOre been spoken Of as contemplated for
the Prince of Wales.. Giving every credit to the
Dagbladet for its guarded tone, it is yet evident
from the following that at Copenhagen the mat
is looked on as settled.

The heir presumptive to the Crown, his Royal
Highness Prince Christian of Denmark, is at this
moment on a tour in Germany with his family. At
Ostend, at.the Castleof Rumpenheim in the Duchy
of Hesse, and lastly at Heidelberg, the family of the
heir to the Throne is found in company with his
Royal HighnesS the Prince of Wales.

It is easily seen how the rumours of an alleged
attachment between the heir to the Crown of
Great Britain and her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess Alexandria, the eldest daughter of Prince
Christian, may find fresh aliment from this meet-
ing. It is the sad lot of princes that their private
life is too often subordinated to political combina-

tions, so as to be deprived of that enhancement of
mystery enjoyed in affairsof the heart by those who
occupy a less elevated rank in the social scale.
However, the privilege claimed by the public de-
mands in such matters is not to be carried too far,
especially when it has no more solid bases than a
few on dits. Consequently we shall go no further
than simply to say that the private life of Prince
Christian is signalised by the same tone of attrac-
tive dignity that has rendered Queen Victoria the
object of the veneration and affection of the Eng-
lish people ; and that the personal qualities of the
young Princess are sufficient of themselves to justify
the union, without any necessity for having recoum
thereon to political combinations.

In Denmark an alliance between our future dy-
nasty and the Royal House of England would be
everywhere welcomed by an expression of universal.
joy. There is no idea whatever of indulging in

illusions of the influence that such a combination
would exercise on the policy of the two countries.
Neither is it imagined that our country would find
therefrom, on the part of Great Britain, a more
cordial political support than what it already en-
joys. But we see therein an event full of reasons
for congratulation; principally because our future

dynasty would be thereby closely linked with the.

most Constitutional Sovereign in the universe, and

because that relationship would offer a fresh guaran-
tee fur the sympathy of the same dynasty towards
the political liberty enjoyed by Denmark, and be-

neath which the Sovereign will always possess the
means most efficacious for ensuring to himself they
