Obituary Death of the King of Sweden and Norway. -A telegram from Stockholm announces the death of Oscar, King of Sweden and Norway. The event occured on the 8th of July, after an illness which had incapacitated the King from taking any active part in Government since Sept., 1857. King Oscar was the son of Bernadotte, whom he succeeded on the Swedish throne in 1844. Born in Paris in 1799, he was placed at the age of nine years in the Imperial Lyceum; bot on the accession of his father to the throne, his studies were interrupted and his new position. New preceptors were provided for the heir presumptive, and in the year 1810, with his father, he set out for Stockholm; abjuring Catholicism on the way thither, and embracing Lutheranism. Under the teachings of his preceptors M. Tannstroem and the poet Atterborn, he rapidly acquired a proficiency in the Swedish language. In 1811 he entered the Swedish Army. In 1818, when his father ascended the throne, he was appointed to the Chancellorship of the University of Upsal, and began an active literay career. In the same year, he became Colonel of the Guards, and advanced rapidly in military honors. He was successively named Grand Admiral of Sweden and Norway, Lieutenant-General, and Commandant-General of Artillery. In July, 1818, he married Josephine Maxililenne Eugenie, eldest daughter of Eugene Beauharnais, Duke of Leuchtenberg. In 1834, he was named Viceroy of Norway, and in 1838 exercised the powers of the Regency during the illness of his father. In March, 1844, he ascended the throne, and became heir to a personal fortune of 80,000,000 francs, saved by Bernadotte from a civil list of but 3,000,000 per annum. King Oscar's Government was marked by liberality and justice. In 1845, the year following his accession, he presented to the Diet several projects of reform, --a proposition for the abolition of the right of primogeniture in noble families, and another for the revision of the criminal code; and, in the succeeding year, named a Commission for a revision of the Constitution. His measures have redounded to the welfare of his people, and his reign was pacific. He is succeeded by his eldest son, Prince Charles, who was appointed Regent by royal ordinance, in 1857, when the King's illness became so severe as to unfit him for the conduct of affairs. The present King (Charles XV,) was born in 1826, and married in 1850 the Pricess Lovise, daughter of Price William of the Netherlands.
