LITERARY MATTER of INFORMATION and AMUIEMENT.
The First Volume cf ELIZ.A. COOK'S JOURNAL Is now com-
pleted, and the Froprietor takes this opportuni,y of expressing her
sense of the honourable and coveted position which a generous Public
has placed her in.
Many difficulties beset the path of a young Journalist which a
little experience removes, and most earnest thanks are proffered for
the kind indulgence bestowed on the errors which have occasionally
marked the Editorial and Practical Departments. The best proof of
the Editor's feeling will be fbund in her endeavours to render the
Journal far more worthy of the flattering patronage it receives,
and without any fallacious boast, she can promise her Readers a
future supply of sound and valuable matter.
The most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula-
tion and cordial reception of the Journal has been in provilag that a
large reading public can be tound for a cheap Serial who do not
require unhealthy excitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to
gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that
her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and invigorate the
mind, has been graciously received : for, though amusement is one
of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature, but of our
wi.ole lives, it should' ever be blended wills a principle and purpose
tending to advance humanity.
From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor
trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and
plea,ure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those
whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.

OPENING of the NEW COAL EXCHANGE.
HER MAJESTY'S VISIP.
No doubt the reader would esteem it strange,
If Moses' Muse forgot the Coal Exchange ;
And, therefore, as the Queen's to come, greet her,
By writing on the coals a little metre.
Iffy burning loyalty I cannot smother,
Nor yet exchange this subject for anothe-.
The Queen, no doubt, will find her subjects give her
A very warm reception on the river.
Success, I say, to that commercial scheme
Whose memorable opening forms my theme ;
For, oh I each portion of the pile is rife,
With fond ideas of home and homely life.
And now, shall I be quitting the sublime,
By introducing Moses in my rhyme ?
No : Moses, who have long enjoyed control,
Are nobs in trade—l don't mean knobs of coal.
Moses and Son's attire is so well made :
That it has long ensured a flare-up trade.
Mores and Son, whose words ne'er end in smoke,
Dave given monopoly a timely poke;
May I not add, too, that the Coal ExCiango
I' not by any means the sole Exchange ?
Moses and Son at their Depot arraege,
To exchange your goods without a word's exchange;
And hence it is that such a stir is made
By Messrs. Moses in their flaming trade.

THE PEACE CONGRESS.
GREAT MEETING AT MANCHESTER.
(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.
Last night a crowded meeting was held iu the Free
Trade Hall, Manchester, to receive the report of the
delegates to the Peace Congress at Paris, and to meet a
foreign deputation consisting of M. Horace Say, Coun-
cillor of State, M. Francesque Bouvet, M. Bastiat.
Members of the Chamber of Deputies; M. Ponton4, M.
Guillauwin, editor of the Journal des Economistes; M.
Joseph Gamier, secretary of the Paris Peace Congress.
On the platform were John Bright, Esq., M.P., E. Fry,
Esq., Sir Elkanah Armitage, President Mahon, of Oberlin
College, United States, and many influential gentlemen
of the neighbourhood. Ricdard Cobden, Esq., M.P.,
as unavoidably prevented from being present. The
chair was taken at a little after seven o'clock by George
Wilson, Req.
The French deputation on their appearance were
greeted with repeated cheering. •
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that
for some years it had often afforded him great pleasure
to see this hail crowded with persons intent upon obtain-
ing information upon most of the great questions of the
day; and he might say that speeches had been delivered
in this hail which had exercised an influence throughout
the world; yet he thought no meeting heretofore had been
held there which would have a greater effect upon future
generations than the present one. They had met to-
night to show that whatever cries Governments might
raise for national defences, there were in the country
men of no small influence who thought that pro.
per understanding might be preserved by better
means than by those which Governments had
hitherto used. This was the third meeting this
week at which the forelgn gentlemen presented
themselves; this was the third meeting in England which
had arisen out of that glorious Peace Congress at i'aris
held this year. He need not allude to the rapid progress
of peace principles. Some time ago we had been terrified
by letters showing that there was great danger that a
French fleet would sail up the Thames some fine morn-
ing and run away with the Queen and the Lord Mayor.
Well, their fears had come to pass, an army of French
had invaded our shores, but instead of running away
with the Queen they had sent us their King.—(Laugh-
ter.) They had dined at the Mansion-house, but he
did not know that the First Magistrate had been in any
great fear during the repast. The peace question was
one which would very soon have to be grappled with
by the Government; it would press upon them
for settlement in its moral and in its financial bearing.
There were great numbers of men in the country who
now thought that there were better uses to which to
apply the muscle and sinew of our population
than to employ them in aggressive war, other
methods of employing surplus capital than in
laying it out on cannon-balls, other duties for
our clergy than to call upon them to degrade
their religion by consecrating the colours of the regi-
ments. The two great nations represented here had
often led the van in the field of battle, but he hoped from
this time forth that they would do all they could toge-
ther to repair the injuries which they had done
to society. It would cost millious to raise
up another Wellington or another Napoleon. It was
time then to turn to other methods of Employing the
energies of the two nations, and the results of such co-
operation would not be reckoned by the number of slain,
nor by the millions of debt, but by the universal benefits
conveyed to society.

Liters were then read from Victor Hugo, Lattartine,
tha Archbishop of Paris, Girardin, editor of La Presse,
excusing themselves from being present on this occasion,
owing to political engagements. The names of these
gentlemen, especially that of M. de Lamartine, were
received with enthusiastic applause. _ _ _

Mr. EDMUND Fair then came forward and said—
It was pleasant to him to have to speak of the
great kindness which had been shown to the Eng.
lish and American delegates to the Peace Congress
by the French Government and people. The Peace
Congress committee had now been organized one
year, to which two duties had been committed. First,
that of instituting a series of operations in support of
Mr. Cobden's projected motion in the House for the
substitution of arbitration treaties for war. Meetings
in pursuance of this duty had been held all over the
country, and the consequence was that more than a
thousand petitions had been poured into the House
in support of those principles. A great effect had been
produced upon the House by these petitions, and on the
motion being brought;Jorward, eighty-one Members
voted in Mr. Cobden's minority. The second duty, to
make arrangements for the holding of a Peace Congress
at Paris, which had been suggested by the Congress at
Brussels the year before. Certainly t!lo Times news-
paper had attempted to sneer them down,but the friends of
peace wero not to be put down by such means, and the
committee continued to make its arrangements, and Mr.
Elihu Burrit and Mr. Richards proceeded to Paris to
endeavour to institute a sympathy there, notwithstand-
ing that they had been told that the French people
were so essentially a war-loving people, and their
errand was a fruitless one. But, in truth, on try-
ing the pulse of the principal men in Franco, they
encountered more encouragement than they had dared
to hope. In July, these gentlemen paid a second visit
tParis
Parisriw
atthaaut timethoiity in a state
forholdingaCoonigressigse,aes.
Having obtained this from M. Dupont, Minister
of the Interior, they received from him, as
well as from M. de Tocqueville, the assurance
of the highest sympathy. Tho consequence was that
700 delegates from England and America were ready to
attend the Congress in Paris. These gentlemen were
received by the French Government with the highest
demonstrations of respect and confidence. During
the whole three days which the Congress lasted
not one incident occurred to disturb the general
harmony. The result was that three resolutions were
arrived at, the first expressing that the war system was
utterly opposed to the principles of justice, humanity,
and religion ; the second, that the principle of arbitra-
tion should be adopted by all nations, instead of
war; and thirdly, as a result of the other two,
that all nations should proceed to a general
and simultaneous disarming. The whole Congress had
passed off amid the universal respect and admiration of
the French people. He believed that if the Congress had
dune nothing more, they had done this—they had pre-
vented the Government of France and the Government
of England ever going to war with each other.
They had brought a new element into the
settlement of all international disputes for evermore.
He asked the foreign gentlemen now present to tell the
French people, when they returned to their own country,
that for the future, when any point of dispute arose, and
they were told by their newspapers that it could not be
settled except by war, to tell them, from what they had
seen in this c )untry, that there was a spirit growing up
here which would prevent for the future any sudden or
hasty return to the iniquitous system which had so long
prevailed; that there was a spirit growing in this coun-
try which was better expressed by two lines iu a song
known over all the country—
Let those who make the quarrels
Be the only men to fight."
The first resolution—" That this meeting desiring
international arbitration as a substitute for the un-
Christian system of liar, disapproving of loans for the
prosecution of war, and believing that tbo permanent
prosperity of nations cannot be secured but by a
general disarmament, rejoices to hear of the signal
success which attended the European Peace Congress
lately held at Paris, and of the unanimity which pre-
vailed in the deliberations of that large assembly"--was
then moved by Mr. A. Prentice, and seconded by Mr.
Alderman Harvey, the delegates from Manchester to the
Paris Peace Congress. After the resolution had been
put and curried, _ _ _

Mr. BRIGHT. M.P., came forward amid repeated
cheers. lie thought that the English 'Topic were emi-
nently a practical people, and yet if they 'Acre to believe
the dicta of certain wiseacres, the English people
had of late become a very visionary race,
seeking after all manner of impossible things
which they ;never could hope to attain. In
London and Birmingham the principle of peace
had been rapturously and enthusiastically re-
ceived by thousands of this practical people. The ques-
tion was worth asking whether the present object which
they were pursuing was visionary or not, whether it
was one they could ever obtain. Every morn-
ing the newspapers published whht they called
" leaders," but which he thought were now
got to be followers, and he believed that
as far as leaders went, the public press had much less
influence over the public mind than it bad before this
time. The friends of the peace movement came before
the public in a more favourable position than
any others, inasmuch as they advocated a question
which all men allowed to be a blessing. What
was their experience of war ? Blood without
reckoning, treasure without reckoning, wasted industry,
poverty, taxes, and crime. One-half of the gaols of
England, one-half; of the poor-houses in the land, were
the monuments of the wars of the last fifty years—.wars
between this country and France. The principles of
peace which were advocated here to night had
made such progress in this country and in America,
that he believed it was impassible that war
ever could arise upon any small question; but still, if
there were a treaty of arbitration between the two
countries, the war would be rendered actually impos-
sible. Armies and fleets wero now only kept up on
pretence; but if the arbitration scheme were adopted,
what minister or what statesman would ever
dare to keep up armaments for the purpose
of settling questions which it had already been deter-
mined should be settled in another manner. When
armaments were put down, thete would be more chance
of the spread of liberty. For look now at the state of
Europe. What was their state? Did kings rule? Did
the people ? No, the armies. And so it would ever be,
while the present system was continued. lie had had
put into his bands a resolution regarding the foreign
gentlemen here present, and in reading it over he could
ashaudrz;ceodmaes over ecrh
abrigme
ate frogs, and it
nsionteehelhpis thcihnikldihngoowd,hawt haeachiatngwe
was conffilently affirmed that one Englishman was worth
against the French that they
ten Frenchmen. He hoped that the people of Man-
cheater would give to the gentlemen who had visited
them from France that welcome which they so well
knew how to give. (The meeting here rose and cheered
enthusiastically for several minutes.) He could

tell the gentlemen that if they went further
north, thoy Mould find as enthusiastic a welcome
there as they had here found. And he hoped that when
they returned they would be able to tell their country-
men that there was a spirit abroad in England which
might be expressed in the words which had been put
by an English dramatist into the mouth of a French
statesman—

" Take away the sword; states can be saw(' without it."
The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the second
reso:ution—" That this meeting rejoices in the oppor-
tunity of welcoming our French brethren to the manu-
facturing metropolis, and of acknowledging to them per-
sonally the fraternal reception given to the English dole
gates at Paris by the Government and the people, and
expresses a confident belief that conferences such as
these will powerfully tend to remove long-cherished
feelings of hostile rivalry, and to fuse all nations into
one peaceful brotherhood."

M. NEEDieem seconded the resolution.
The CHAIRMAN then introduced the deputies from
France, who were each, on their appearance, received
with three distinct rounds of applause.
M. Honece SAY then came forward, and said, it had
given him and the other members of the deputation
great pleasure to receive the invitation to attend this
meeting, though it was somewhat mingled with regret
that they had not been enabled to be introduced by
Richard Cobden. He was proud to meet the people of
Manchester, who bad been foremost iu all the great
questions of civil and religious liberty, in this palace
of free trade. France like England was now beading
under an accumulated weight of debt, the fruits and in-
heritance of a long series of wars; increased also by the
consequences of keeping up an army and navy fit for
war in a time of peace. War had never been profitable
to France. In endeavouring to put down piracy, France
had been conducted to the north coast of Africa, and had
taken possession of Algiers. For twenty years they had
been sending annually to that country 20,000 men
and millions of francs to no good. Truly, the Ministers
every year had congratulated the country upon the
( peeing of a fresh market for their manufactures. But
what sort of a market was it? They had certainly been
wrsi,tbbuthtetibreoywwnemreonmeya:
n Sendinguf act ur su
sent out along with the manufacturers. This would always
wt mbiaunbutfbaecytubraeds tt o o Ablugyie
be the fruit oesuch conquests. He was
.rejoiced to meet this
assembly of Manchester men, because it contradicted the
line of a French poet who said, that " common sense was
exceedingly rare."
M. F. BASTIAT then came forward, and said he dared
say that they all had heard of the dumb child who, seeing
his father in trouble, had been so much moved that he
had burst his bonds, and cried " Father, take
care." He was in a similar state; he could only say
" Englishmen, I thank you from the bottom of my
heart." Eight years had elapsed since the right
of search question had called up the papers of both
countries, and two years ago a ridiculous cry of French
invasion had been raised, and who would have believed
that this year 500 Frenchmen would visit England,
and that in the presence of such a large meeting,
a body of Frenchmen should bo so enthusiastically
eceised ? They had been called Utopian, but he
thought that all the auguries were in their favour. They
were in the place where the great Anti- Corn- law League
had been established, they had one of the heroes of the
campaign, Mr. Bright, they deeply regretted the absence
of Mr. Cobden, and were not the proceedings of this even-
ing presided over by Mr. Wilson, the chairman of the
League. They had the same battle-field, and ho did not
see any reason why they should not have the same
triumph.
M. GARNIER then proceeded to add: ess the meeting
in French to the effect that ho regretted not
being sufficiently versed in English to address
the meeting in that language ; but he was so far
competent as to catch some expressions which fell
from the chairman, respecting the flight of Louis Phi-
lippe to England, and his mind had instantly reverted
to the causes of that event—a reckless expendi-
ture in the instruments of war, in the absurd
fortifications which might yet perhaps be used
to build houses. The philosophers of France dui.-
leg the last century had examined the prin-
ciples of commercial liberty, but it had remained for
Manchester to show that commercial liberty was not an
Utopian idea. He deplored.the existence of en armed
peace. During his three days visit in England he had
gone from wonder to wonder, and the greatest of all
seemed to him to be this meeting.—(Elear, hear.) He
regretted that the greatest poets of France, Victor
Hugo, Lamartine, and Beranger, all friends of peace,
were not present at this meeting, to embody this meet-
ingin a glorious ode, which should take the place of
the " Rule Britannia" and " Marseillaise."
Mr. POTONIER next addressed the meeting in French
to this effect:—He was happy and proud to .fiad himself
in the Temple of Proe Trade, and in a oity which had
secured commercial freedom for this country,and perhaps
for all the world. There were individuals in France who
could appreciate the brightness of the idea, because it
was associated with the ideas of progress and liberty.
Light was beginning to penetrate France, and even as
far as some of the greatest Protectionists in the Cham-
ber, for one of that party bad lately moved for the im-
portation of English printed goods, not for the use of
French ladies, but for purposes of re-exportation. He
looked forward with great pleasure to the exposition of
arts which was contemplated in England. He concluded
by wishing prosperity to the interests of England.
Dr. BEARD moved " That this meeting, considering
the greatness of the work to be accomplished, calls upon
all patriots and Christians for renewed personal and pe-
cuniary assistance, in the prosecution of the efforts for
the abolition of the system of war." He wished to
express to the meeting the deep gratification they had
given to him, by flocking together to welcome their
friends from the other side of the Channel. It had
been said that this was a magnificent spectacle,
'but strangers did net know what a magnificent
spectacle was—if he were to say that thel wealth of
Manchester, the science, and the intelligence, he
was sure no ono would be able to contradict it. In
this audience, he fancied he could see what would soon
be the case, not in Manchester, or England, or in France,
but all over the world—countenances and minds which
would disdain to appeal to brute force to settle all the
disputes which might arise among them. Good men
were generally in the minority; but when they appealed to
bad means for a good:( nd, they put themselves on a level
with the majority. He thought that moral force alone,
which was divine and came from God, was irresistible.
President Meteme, of the Oberlin College, Ohio, Uni-
ted States, se ended the resolution.
After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the large
meeting separated at a late hour.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PROMOTIONS.

Commander Edward C. T. D'Eyncourt (1841), to
the rank of captain. Captain D'Eyncourt is second
son of the Right Hon. C. T. D'Eyncourt, M.P. for
Lambeth, and has served about 16 years afloat. He
entered the navy through the College, August 3,
1826. As cadet and midshipman he served in the
Samarang, Asia, Britannia, Aclmon, and Rapid;
passed his examination October, 1832; served in the
Excellent for three years, and in the Jupiter, to
India; was promoted February, 1837; for a few
months flag-lieutenant at the Nore, and subsequently
sailed with Sir Thomas Herbert in the Calliope to
South America and China, and at the latter place was
actively employed in the operations under Sir Thomas
Herbert, to whom he was aide-de camp. In Novem-
ber, 1846, he succeeded Captain Thompson in com-
mand of the Comus, on the Brazil station, and paid
her off a few months since.

Commander Thomas Henry Mason (1841), to the
rank of captain. He entered the navy November 7,
1822 ; passed his examination 1830, and was promoted
July, 1837. As a lieutenant, he commanded the
Algerine, 10, at China. In that vessel he obtained
mention for his zeal and alacrity at the capture of Chu-
san, in July, 1840. In the attack made upon Can-
ton in Alarch, 1841, he enacted a very conspicuous
part, as he subsequently did in the operations re-
newed in the following May against that place, and
subsequently aided in the capture of Amoy. He was
appointed to command the Medea, steam-sloop,
January, 1847, and took her to the East Indies and
China, and was removed to the acting command of
the Melampus, 42, on the late Captain Campbell
invaliding, and that ship he paid off about two months
since.

Commander James Anderson (1842), late of the
Ranger, sloop, on the coast of Africa, to the rank of
captain. This officer has served afloat nearly thirty
years, in addition to coast-guard service. He entered
the navy, Sept. 17, 1808, as first-class volunteer, in
the Royal William, and whilst serving in the Myrtle,
18, contributed to the capture of two slave-vessels on
the coast of Africa, in the Rainillies, 74. He took an
active part in the chief operations of the American
war, including the blockade of Commodore Decatur's
squadron in New London, the attacks upon Wash-
ington,
Baltimore, and New Orleans, and the bom-
bardment of Stonington. He also, among other
detached services, assisted, in the boats of the Ramillies
and of a squadron, at the capture, Dec. 14, 1814, on
Lake Borgne, of five American gun-boats under
Commodore Jones, which did not surrender until the
British, after a fierce contest, had been occasioned a
loss of 17 men killed and 77 wounded. Passed his
examination in 1817, and was promoted March, 1823.
Lieutenants—Augustus Gordon (1836), who
passed his examination in 1830, and served in the
Talavera and Howe, and subsequently as senior of
the Thunder, surveying in the West Indies ; and
William T. Rivers (1841), who has served twenty
years afloat, and last in command of the Nautilus, 10,
one of the most able and deserving officers in the
service, have been promoted to the rank of com-
mander.

Assistant Surgeons—Dr. Alexaxder Mitchell
(1809), additional, late of the Royal Sovereign,
yacht, at Pembroke, 22d on the list; and Thomas
Nelson (1840), the 24th on the list, long serving and
meritorious officers, to the rank of surgeon.
Clerks—Frederick C. Dusanloy (1840), acting
paymaster and purser of the Flying Fish, 12, on the
coast of Africa, to the rank of paymaster and purser.
This is a most fair, just, and deserving promotion, he
being the senior eligible by service.
