AFFAIRS OF SWEDEN.

The retirement of the wary and cautious King
of Sweden, says the Berlin correspondent of the
Times, from the conduct of affa'rs is of unu-
sual importance at this moment with refe-
rence to the constantly increasing magnitude of
the Scandinavian movements, of which the Crown
Prince is known to be an ardent supporter, as is
also the case with his younger brother ; for the ap-
proaching crisis of the conflict between the Radical
Government of Denmark and the German duclry
of Holstein, now engaged in a last. struggle tor
save itself from incorporation with the Semi-
dinavian kingdom, backed as it is by its Fede-
ral allies in. Germany, will hardly fail to press
upon Europe the conviction of the necessity_ of
creating a strong Scandinavian kingdom out of
Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, and of separating
from the latter that German Duchy of Holstein
which it is endeavouring per fas et nefas to incor-
porate at the expense of every dictate of jus-
tice and public law. The existence of Hol-
stein as an integral portion of the • territory
attached to the Danish Crown constitutes Den-
mark's greatest weakness; for its German popu-
lation, which owns no other fealty than to the per-
son of the King as their Duke, has boon thoroughly
estranged by the events of the last 10 or 11 years,
and the unremittingattemptsof the Danish Govern-
ment to bring it by all or any means into the same
position as Schleswig. The policy, however, which
with such powerful States as Russia - and Austria
has succeeded with Poland and Hungary has not, as
yet, availed much with the comparatively powerless
Denmark, and will hardly do so as long as an appeal
lies from Copenhagen to the German Confederation
and to Europe at large. The constant disunion of
the constitueutparts of the Danish monarchy makes
Denmark always dependent on foreign aid and sup-
port ; and this she finds in Russia, whose eventual
claims to thecrowu of Denmark are derived from a
small port:on of Holstein territory, and who is,
consequently, warmly interested in the retention of
Holstein in Danish possession, and Denmark in
Russian dependence. The evil
.consequences we
felt in the late war. Denmark persisted in noUtra-
lity, though Sweden was willing, if Denmark would
have joined, to take part with us; and, had Den-
mark done so, Prussia must have one so, much as
it was opposed to her best interests. When the
moment comes, which will come soon, for revising
the London Protocol of 1852, it is to be hoped
;hat our Cabinet will no longer be found playing
uto Russia's hands as it did then, and had done
!or years before.

7IIE RECENT ROBBERY OF FIVE HUNDRED
POUNDS 1N LIVERPOOL.

At the Liverpool Police-court, on Saturday, be-
fore Mr. J. S. Mansfield, the stipendiarymaogisn-
trate, Thomas Timm, Louisa, his wife, and John
Rice wore brought up in custody of Inspector Mur-
phy and several other detective officers on a charge
of having been connected with the recent robbery
of 5171. from the establishment of Mr. Kearns,
wine and spirit merchant, Park-lane. Mr. Murphy
said that on the 30th of Aughst last he received
information of an extensive robbery from the pre-
mises of Mr. Kearns: He went to examine the
place, and found that an iron safe in the inner
office, which had contained 517/., bad been opened
and the money abstracted. The door of the safe
had been bored through with a drill, but the hole
had been too high up, and did not take effect upon
the lock. The burglars, after the fa,lure of this
attempt, had proceeded to search in other parts of
the premises. Ili one drawer which had been
en
broken open a dupcate key of the

ther sovereign which was found in the prisoner's
possession. Detective Sanford, of the Manchester
