AFFAIRS OF SWEDEN.

The retirement of the wary and cautious King
of Sweden, says the Berlin correspondent of the
Times, from the conduct of affairs 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 duchy
of Holstein, now engaged in a last struggle to
save itself from incorporation with the Scan-
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 feslty than to the per-
son of the King as their Duke, has been thoroughly
estranged by the events of the last 10 or 11 years,
and the unremittingattempts of 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 constituent par;., of the Danish monarchy makes
Denmark always dependent on foreign aid and sup-
port ; and this she finds in Russia, whose eventual
claims to the crow a of Denmark are derived from a
small portion of Holstein territory, and who ig,
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 neutra-
lity, though Sweden was willing, if Denmark would
have joined, to take part with us; and, bad Dm-
mark done so, Prussia must have clone 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
that our Cabinet will no longer be found playing
into Russia's hands as it did then, and had done
fur years before.

phyon 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 August last be 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 bole
had been too high up, and did not take effect upon
the lock. The burglars, after the failure of this
attempt, had proceeded to search in other pasts of
the premises. In one drawer which had been
broken open a duplicate key of the safe bad been
found, with which the burglars bad opened the
safe. Mr. Kearns was then examined, and stated,
amount was
that he left his establishment about five o'clock in
the evening of Saturday, August 29. A little be-
fore he looked over and counted h s money which

He bad examined the money found in pos ession of
the prisoners, and identified sovereigns as having
been in his safe; each of the coins had peculiar
marks. Edward Le\ •
vls, the manager of Mr.
Kearn's establishment , stated that he closed the
premises about 20
minutes
past 12 o'clock on the
night in
question. About 11 o'clock he saw the
prisoner Rice in the bar drinking, but did not notice
what became of him. This witness identified ano-
ther sovereign which was found in then
prisoner's
possession. Detective Sanford, of the Manchester
police, stated that one evening ho and Bateman,
another detective, were passing along Bedford-
street, Chorlton, when they observed a light in th
beer-house in the street. They entered the house,
and proceeded upstairs, where they found Thomas
Pimm, and took him into custody, as well as Ric e,
whom they also found. After handing the two pri-
soners over to other officers, the detectives pros
ceeded to search the house, and found a large quart.
1 tity of tools, &c., used by burglars. The female
' prisoner was attempting to make her
escape, when
' they apprehended her. On the way
to the Town-
hall she said she bad got some
money
on her, and
might as well give it up. She then took from under
her dress a bag containing 2021. 103., out of which
the marked sovereigns were picked by the witnesses.
After some further evidence Mr. Mansfied corn,
witted the prisoners for trial. —Liverpool Albion,
