NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
H OUR by hour the national excitement deepens, and 
tidings from the Crimea are looked for with an intense 
anxiety that proclaims how well aware is England of the 
solemn character of the deed that is about to he done — or, it 
may he, that is being accomplished as we write. F or , not only 
has the Crimea expedition sailed, hut nearly sixty thousand 
men have actually been lauded at Eupatoria. The vessels 
went off for the reserve, and the troops— stated to consist of 
25,000 English, the same number of French, and 8,000 Turks 
—immediately commenced their march upon Sebastopol. It 
is most probable that long ere this they have met with the 
enemy ; and, though we doubt not that the issue of the con- 
flict hits been that which was due to the gallantry, of brave 
men fighting for tho right, we must not forget that the price 
of the most easily gained battle must he paid in lives. What 
bloodshed the wretched ambition of the Russian tyrant 1ms 
yet caused in our ranks — and for every drop spilt he is 
responsible at the Judgment — has yet to he told ; but, with 
the first uews of triumph, sorrow' and shadow will fall upon 
many a household. The nation smiles at pecuniary sacrifice 
in such a cause, and, fliuging its purse to the Executive, 
cheers ou its soldiers and sailors to the strife. But it is now 
about to learn what war means, 
Eupatoria is some considerable distance from Sebastopol ; 
hut the point of landing appears to have had many recom- 
mendations. There are about one hundred miles between 
it and the object of attack ; hut there is au excellent road, 
first to Simpheropol and then to the fortress whose name is 
now on every lip. This road was probably deemed essentia] 
for the transport of the heavy artillery ; it is also well sup- 
plied with that grand necessary, water. Of the wisdom of 
the choice which selected this place of debarkation, there cun 
he no doubt. The instructions also, which were presented 
to every officer, in order to guide him iu landing his men, 
are admirably calculated to ensure precision, and as much 
security as is compatible with such an operation. The scene 
must have been a noble one. The ships were to he moored 
with a broadside to the shore, and from the seaward side the 
boats were to be dropped, so as to afford the men all protec. 
tion up to the last moment ; then, at a signal, the whole 
long line of boats, reaching from two to three miles, were to 
make for the land, the soldiers with unloaded guns and with 
knapsacks on their knees — a wise precaution, for in the event, 
of a boat upsetting, the weight of the knapsack, if fastened to 
the owner, would Becure his destruction. The boats were to 
keep at twenty yards distance, and to proceed at the same 
pace, so that the landing might be simultaneous. The opera- 
tion would, of course, have been performed, if necessary, 
under the covering fire from the ships ; but this was needless, 
no resistance having been offered. Immediately on landing, 
the soldiers, whose allotted places were well understood, 
would form, and there would stund a gallant army ready to 
rush upon the foe. The directions remind one of tho 
splendid lauding in Egypt, at the very beginning of tho 
century, when the English were opposed by a far diflerent 
enemy, their present ally, who permitted no such easy 
invasion. As our boats approached the African shore, iu 
March, 1801, a terrific fire was opened upon them, and under 
this many a brave fellow fell to rise no more. But at last 
the keels touched laud ; the men sprang to shore — formed, 
and, without waiting to load, dashed up the sand-hills, and 
won the day with the bayonet. We are fortunate in having 
those by our sitle who were then against us — fortunate also 
that their example has not been imitated by our new foes. 
Whether Sir Charles Napier he actually returning or not 
is still matter of doubt. If he comes home, having left 
Cronstadt unassailed, the country will have reason to he 
dissatisfied ; but we do not, believe that the fault will he with 
him. The opposition organs distinctly state that the com- 
mand of this Baltic expedition was in the first place offered 
to Lord Dundonald— better known and honoured by the 
name of Cochrane— and that he agreed to accept it only on 
condition that he was allowed to carry on the war “ iu 
earnest ” — in other words, that he was to use his own dis- 
cretion. This Lord Aberdeen is said to have refused. We 
neither endorse nor reject the story, but it will meet with 
considerable acceptation should Sir Charles return under 
| circumstances which permit the natiou to believe that he v> as 
' restrained from doing his worst. There can he no doubt 
I that the blockade has, thanks to Prussia, been rendered m> 
blockade at all. While speaking of the war, we should add, 
that communications from Russia represent the Emperor » 
army as much discouraged by the lull of Bomarsund, which 
< could not be concealed from the people, or even manipulated 
into a victory for the Czar, and that the Russians look to 
I Prussia for assistance, with a hope which does not seem 
1 destined to he realised. The position of Austria is a singular 
one ■ she is at peace with Russia, yet is making military 
1 moves in concert with Powers that are at war with that 
1 country. A crisis which will force her from her anomalous 
attitude can hardly he far distant. And apropos of Austria, 
Mazzini has uot been taken, and lms published a letter 
defying the Swiss Government to capture him, and bitterly 
1 reproaching it for actiug as the police of Austria. 
The cholera, we rejoice to say, is rapidly and decidedly 
diminishing in the metropolis. It has, however by no means
