NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
TN all human probability, while we write these lines, the 
J- tidings that the allies have met their foe are in course of 
transmission. In the presence of such a fact, surmise and 
speculation are but waste of time and Bpace. A few hours 
must briug the intelligence for which England and France 
are waiting. Later dispatches than those in our possession 
when we wrote last week must have apprised the public 
that the point of debarkation was not Eupatoria, as was at 
first stated, hut a place called the Old Fort, in the centre of a 
bay twenty miles south of Eupatoria, aud only about 
thirty miles from Sebastopol. We also learn that the 
landing of the troops, with the horses, guns, stores, 
aud all the munitions of war, was effected without the 
slightest opposition from the Russians, aud without a single 
accident of any kind. Eupatoria has been occupied by a 
small number of tho allied troops, 400 Russians surrendering 
at the first summons, and the last news left the united 
forces preparing to march upon the Russian army before 
Sebastopol. The Russians were said to be 25,000 strong, 
aud expecting reinforcements of 15,000 ; but it was thought 
that a battle would be fought on the 20th, before this rein- 
forcement could arrive. The population of the Crimea iB 
subjects for support, and a sovereign who does that, accord- 
ing, in return, political liberty, seldom looks in vain. 
The course of Austria and of Prussia is still canvassed in 
the absence of more important news. For our readers, it i* 
sufficient to say, that events seem to press Austria more and 
more to the side of the Allies, and that, concurrently with 
the necessity, a better appreciation of Austria’s true interest 
appears to develop itself at Vienna. Prussia, irremediably 
disgraced and degraded, ia Btill waiting to see where her ad- 
vantage lies. The King would gladly side with Russia, but 
as to ally himself with Nicholas would simply be giving to 
the army at Boulogne the signal to cross the frontier, King 
Clicquot docs nothing. The pigmy German States are ac- 
tually beginning to raise their voices, and claim to advise in 
the battle of giants ; but we presume that though, like 
Benedict, they “ will still be talking,” we may add, with 
Beatrice, that “ nobody marks them.” The time for talking, 
indeed, has gone by for a season. 
The Archbishop of Canterbury has issued a form of 
harvest thanksgiving. It is feebly written, and in contrast 
with the vigorous terseness of the Anglican liturgy ; but 
this his Grace could not, perhaps, help. But he might have 
avoided a curious blunder in construction, by which the 
earth’s increase is described as “ the only gift of God,” and 
might have supplied an omission, whereby it is left to be 
inferred that a reference to the second person in the Trinity 
is intended by the word “ His,” though the name of the 
Redeemer is not mentioned. If laymen have not a right to 
look for decent English from the spiritual chief of the 
ohurch, where are they to find their models ? 
We are sorry to say that the wretches who attempted the 
wholesale murder on the Enniskillen Railway have not been 
arrested. The priests of the district could, of course, point 
them out at au hour's notice, but equally of course will not 
do so. A sort of discussion is, we are sorry to see, going on, 
in which the question is almost raised whether the Roman 
Catholics were not so much provoked by the Orange display 
that retaliation by murder might almost be expected. We 
trust that the right-minded part of the Catholic population 
will show that so atrocious an excuse for so hideous a crime 
excites as much indignation among them as among Pro- 
testants. 
A melancholy case at Portsmouth, where an unfortunate 
girl, who had gone on board the Dauntless with some naval 
officers, and who, after a drunken orgie, met her death 
in a manner as yet unexplained, has called off the 
attention of the journalists from the military to naval 
delinquents. A full iuvestigation has yet to take place. At 
present the coroner's jury have incriminated the officers who 
took part in the affair, but the evidence is not conclusive 
and wo hope that nothing graver than vulgar debauchery 
will ultimately be proved against officers in the Queen’s 
service. At this moment revolting brutality is added to the 
accusation. 
The Phoenix has arrived from the Arctic Regions, with the 
crews of the Resistance, Resolute, and Investigator, the latter 
being the vessel in which Captain M'Clure made the discovery 
of the existence of a north-west passage. 
Our own Sovereign is still in the north. The Emperor of 
the French has returned to Boulogne with the Empress, aud 
an announcement of an interesting and gratifying character is 
made in reference to the probability of au beir being given 
to the Imperial family. The death of Lord Denman, one 
of the noblest men who ever sat upon the bench, is an 
event in European history. The Budden demise of Lord 
Ormonde has caused much regret in a large circle to which 
he was endeared. We may conclude our record by the 
mention of the gratifying fact, that the epidemic by which 
London has suffered so largely is subsiding ; but it will have 
destroyed its 9,000 victims. May we be better prepared for 
everywhere well-disposed towards the Allies, and brings 
them the meaus of transport, aud provisions ; and it was 
believed that, as soon as the armies met, still more active 
assistance would be afforded by the warlike part of the 
inhabitants. The weather was magnificent. All, thus far, 
was most favourable, and we trust that, in our next sum- 
mary, we may have to record a victory on the part of the 
Allies, gained at no extraordinary price. 
Lord Duudonald has published a contradiction of the story 
that he was offered the command of the Baltic fleet, 
either by Lord Aberdeen, or, as was afterwards alleged, by 
Sir James Graham. But he states that he did apprise the 
Government that in one way only — one known to himself 
alone — the war could be brought to a speedy aud triumphant 
issue, and that bis suggestions were rejected. All that people 
say is, that Lord Dundonald is now a man of eighty, and is 
suspected of being rather crotohetty ; but, on the other band, 
he might have done more than Sir Charles Napier, and could 
hardly have done less. It is now stated, somewhat authori- 
tatively, that Sir Charles ia not coming home until the ice 
blooks up the Russian fleet as effectually as he could do, and 
there is a Bort of impression that, though Cronstadt is to be 
fl let alone most severely,” a blow is to be struck somewhere 
in the Baltic. 
The Sultan is stated to be carrying out some of the salutary 
measures so desirable in Turkey. The poll-tax is being “re- 
pressed altogether" — or, as the Americans put it, improved 
off tho face of creation. A reform is to take place 
in the jurisdiction of the Greek patriarchs, all rayohs 
are to be included in the general military conscription (a step 
of more importance than appears at first view), and all non- 
Mahometans, subjects of the Porte, aro to enjoy equal political 
rights. If these measures be administered in the spirit in 
which they are designed, the consolidation of the Sultan's 
empire will be more promoted than by any interference or 
assistance from without. The Porte is looking to its own 
its next visitation. 
DEATH OF LORD DENMAN. 
We have to record the death of Thomas, Lord Denman, 
who so long and so worthily filled the office of Lord Chief 
Justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench. The melancholy 
event took place yesterday week, at Stoke Albany, North- 
amptonshire, and was occasioned by apoplexy. 
The noble lord was born on the 23rd of February, 1779, 
and was married on the 18th of October, 1804, to Theodosia 
Anne, eldest daughter of the late Rev. Richard Yevers, Rector 
of Saxby, in the county of Leicester. While practising at 
the bar, Air. Thomas Denman hud a very respectable business, 
though not so large as that of Brougham, Scarlett, or one or 
two of the other eminent men, who flourished at the same 
time, but it was sufficiently large and lucrative, for the last 
twenty years he practised, to yield him a handsome indepen- 
dence. As a barrister, he was not distinguished for the variety 
and depth of his legal knowledge ; there were many of his 
contemporary practitioners who could boast of being far 
superior to him as lawyers, who had not a tenth part of his 
practice. lie owed his success at the bar to other qualities 
than those of the mere lawyer. In him the man always 
triumphed over the advocate. He made his client's case ins 
own. He was all sincerity and fervour in every case in which 
he appeared. His manner was popular, and his tine musical 
and powerful voice and easy manner of speaking were great 
recommendations to him. He had an admirable command 
over himself. He was not violent or declamatory where calm- 
ness and argument appeared to him most likely to serve the 
interests of his client. His usual manner exhibited a happy 
union of coolness with animation, but when it suited his turn, 
lie could work himself into excessive warmth, and address 
the Court and jury with a boldness and energy which, with 
the single exception of his friend Henry Brougham, were 
seldom exhibited iu the forensic efforts of any of his contem- 
poraries. _ . 
The merits of Thomas Denman was appreciated by th 
citizens of London, whose representatives in the Court o 
Common Council elected him to the office of Common Ser- 
geant. His opponent on that occasion was Mr. Bollan< , 
afterwards one of the Barons of the Exchequer, and the num 
bers were — for Mr. Denman 171, for Mr. Bolland 119-
