VII., King of Denmark, is 54 yam of age, and without issue. The Prince Chrietian of Hoistelh-Sondrrhurg ISIS declared heir presumptive to the throne by the law of Denmber 31, 1853. He is 44 years of age, and has id, ehihiren, of whom the eldest, Prince Christian f reder:ek. bon in 1843, is heirs nest to his father, to the Danish crown. The Princess Alexandra is his second chill She was born in December, 1844. By the marriage of the Prince of Wales the royal family of Great Britian will be allied to the reigning house in • kingdom with whilh this country has for many reasons much sympathy. Though our forefathers did battle wite the Danes they came from tte wee stock. Our maritime greatness—our national owe for the sea —we &lades" owe in great part to the Danish element in the mixed population of our coasts. The Saxons were as fearful of water as cats are; though of the same breed originally theg had become, by long residenee on the land, unfamiliar with the element which roars round the home of the Norsemen, the dorms which only rock to sleep the islanders of Iceland, the dwellers on the long peninsula or ass-beaten Jutland. Yet the English traveller now-a.days in Denmark, in Sweden, or in Norway feels more at home with this people than with any other in Europe, for they are. singularly like ourselves in Jestures end manners. The fair-haired girls there, if it were not for their quaint costume and their strange speech, might be English peasant girls. The cheerful, hearty-looking men are like genuine John Bulls. The Scandinavians love England. They look to this country more than to any other--look to it with • sort of pride, because their ancestors peopled it—with • trustful confidence, as the powerful representative before the world of the principles which they hold dear—the liberty which they have cherished from time almost immemorial among their Polar snows; the reformed of Christianity of which they, as we, have . been the champion. Nobody in this northern country is regarded as well educated unless he can speak English. It is the ant and moat necessary of accomplishments as e visit to England, where, gantlet went an exile, is looked forward to with eager anticipation by anti youth whose means afford hies the opporettnity. If sympathy goes for anything, the Danes, the Swedes, and the Norwegians are bound to as more closely than any other people on earth. We may hope, then, to see our royal family allied by marriage with the royal houses both of Denmark and Prussia. These countries, which are perpetually in collision on the question of Holstein, may, perhaps, be kept from war and invited to harmony by the happy link which will thus be established between them. To promote such amend will be more than Weer the interest of England, whose task of conciliation will be rendered easier than before by the new claim then established to the Mini elation of both of these neighbour nations,  &nettle or Mt Omit MtleDgkelt.—At an early hour on Saturday morning, Walker Moore; upon whom sentence of death was passed at the late .Lancaster Anise% for he murder ot his wife at Coins in April last, committed suicide in Lancaster Castle. The murder, it will be recollected, was committed with great cooker. , and determination and the primmer, daring his trial and at the time sentence of death was passed upon him, showed no signs whatever of compunction, and heard his fate pronounced with the utmost composure and hardihood. Saturday was the day axed upon for his exeention. After Moore received his sentence, and when removed from the court, he did not seem to care the least about Lis impending fate— indeed, he laughed and at times joked; end it was thought by many that the jealous passion to which he had given way when he cut his wife's throat would buoy him up, and delude him to the end. At the beginning of last week, however, a consaiousness of his sad career began to show itself, and Moore more than once regretted deeply what he bad done, and devoted hi,. time to religion. On Friday night Calcraft arrived in fameaster and the gallows was erected at the northwestern side of the castle, seedy for the business of the following day. On Saturday morning, at six o'clock, Moore awoke after peening a tolerable night. Shortly afterwards he went to the water-closet, where, strange to say, it seems he was allowed to go alone. As, however, he did not make his appearance again in a reasonable time, one of the,,turnkeys who had been in charge of him went to the clout, and there to his horror, found Moore lying with his head in the pan quite dead. He had evidently first inserted his head into the closet and then with one band opened the water valve. Moore up to that time had been regularly attended by two gaol officials, and why they permitted him to go alone to the closet is a mystery. Their conduct will form the subject of a magisterial inquiry, Moore, if he had not thus put an end to his life, would have received the sacrament at eight on Saturday morning, and have been banged at noon. A large number of persons bad arrived in Lancaster, in anticipation ef Situ execution, before the suicide became igen* 1,, and in ..onsequenee of the event both they and Waren were deprived of the horrible scene of a public strapguldtiou.
