Mr. Inspector tt amilton, City Police Office, Old Jewry, Lou-
don ; or to Messrs. R. and S. Mullens, solicitors, No. 7,
Poultry, London. E.C.
Dated the 30th day of August, 1860.

—with a dark winter and hard times before us, I say it is
most unreasonable to make these poor shareholders and
small tradesmen pay up the letter of their bond. I say it
is hard and unreasonable. And I say, moreover, that the
scheme has never come to maturity, and it now never can.
(Oh.) It is weak and feeble as childhood, yet the wrinkles
of age are on its face, and the palsy of decrepitude are upon
it. I move, as an amendment, " That it is not expedient,
under existing circumstances, for this company to publish
the daily Dial newspaper, either alone or in connection
with any other journal."
Mr. PHIPS seconded the amendment.
HENRY BATEMAN, Esq., after remarking that we should
be courteous to our country friends, said—lt would be to
me a great joy indeed if I felt that there was the paper al-
ways which I could carry home from my counting-house,
to my nwn parlour, and lay it on the table that my little
girl might read it, and know there was nothing t . ere that
would corrupt her heart. I trust we shall car - in their
entireness our original principles, that it shall thorough
good, right, honest, English, Christian paper, that every
Christian gentleman would be glad to have it in his pocket,
and glad to take home to his family. (Cheers.)
Mr. P. M. HART begged to support the amendment.
Mr. E. ALBUTT, of Hanley—The majority of this meeting
I can see very clearly will be in favour of the original mo-
tion. (Cheers.) I hope there will be at all events some con-
sideration shown to us from the country. I have yet to learn,
sir, that all the wisdom remains in London. After explain-
ing the interest he had felt in this movement, he said :—I
do not like t - •.. algamation. If you cannot publish what
you intende. 't publish at all. It seems to me that you_
don't know how to get rid of £17,000 or XlB,OOO. There is
no necessity to part with it. I really see no great haste.
Mr. A. M'CRINDLE said—ln my district the whole feel-
ing was in favour of the movement, and I feel I could have
come with a resolution unanimously signed in favour of the
circular signed by the secretary.
Mr, J. PLATO, of Chesham—l am a plain-spoken man—
you can see that. (Laughter.) I have not had the advan-
tage of a good education, and therefore I hope that you who
have will see how to be thankful for it. I am not a very good
speaker myself, but I live just eight miles from where there
is a very good speaker. (Laughter.) I don't go altogether
with him in his creed ;—I mean Benjamin Disraeli. I live
seven or eight miles from him, and we are on very good
terms. (Cheers and laughter.) Twenty years and six months
ago I was in sad circumstances ; but when I got a sober
man I wanted to read, and I found myself at an institution
And who came to Chesham but these gentlemen. Well, I
said to my wife, "They are going to have a paper called the
Dial." "The Dial," said she; " what is that ?" "Oh
I don't know," I said, "but I'll be one with them to-
night." " I'll go with you," says she. (We go hand in
hand since the last twenty years.) Well, we went. Mr.
Thomas, you know, had great influence in our town.
Well, I said to Mr. Thomas, " Do you know Samuel Bow-
ley ?" (You know Quakers are wide awake.) He said, "Yes,
I de," " Has he taken shares ? " said I. He said, "Yes,"
" Then so will I." (Laughter.) You see, gentlemen, they
have influence in the country, and these things carry some
people. Lucy sat next to me,What do and she says, " What are you
thinking about ?" I said, " you say, shall we have
one share or two ?" " Well," she says, " try one first and
see how that does." (Laughter.) Well, I took her advice,
—(cheers and laughter)—and when we got home she said,
" You may depend upon it Mr. Thomas would not recom-
mend a thing if it was not honest and good—(cheers)—and
she wanted another share. lam a plain man, and I say,
Carry on the concern ; and if you cannot, wind it HD. lam
a plain man and speak what I mean, and if I had not said
what I have said to -night, I should not have slept well to-
night. (Cheers.)
Mr. BELLES entered into some explanations in answer to
questions.
The Rev. JOSEPH FLETCHER, of Christchurch, after a
few introductory remarks, said, they should have plenty of
time allowed for talking. If the question were settled to-
day there would be no other opportunity of deliberating on
this important subject. He would move—" That this ques-
tion be not settled, but adjourned to such an occasion as
may be determined by the present meeting."
The Rev. ROBERT MACBETH, of Hammersmith, had not
had occasion often to differ from his friend Mr. Fletcher,
but to -day ho did most widely differ from him on all essen-
tial points. Any plan which would enable them to introduce
conscience into the daily press of this country should be
carefully deliberated upon and warmly supported. He
begged and implored the meeting not to cast away a chance
of introducing the action of conscience into our daily press
in a very powerful and efficient manner.
The Rev. WILLIAM KNox—Gentlemen, this is a favour
able opportunity, not a paper coming and soliciting them,
but the directors watched for a paper coming forward, on
certain principles proxiraating more or less to their own.
As soon as they see such a paper approaching a posi-
tion that is making it a mighty power in this nation—an
established institution of worth doing gcod, then your di-
rectors step forward and design to effect a junction with it;
and I mean to say that your directors, asking your consent
to such a junction, deserve the cordial support of the whole
meeting. (Great cheers.)
JOHN EVERITT, Esq.—As one of the directors who have
taken upon themselves these negotiations, perhaps a word
may be acceptable and duo from me. What this company
proposed in the first instance we are now seeking to do, and
have been seeking, with untiring fidelity to its first love,
and we believe this will be best accomplished by uniting
ourselves with the staff, the executive, the building, and
the plant of an existing journal. Do not suppose for a mo-
ment that we are going to identify ourselves with a bank-
rupt concern. Don't think that your directors are so hood-
winked as to link your £ll,OOO to nobody for nothing—
(hear, hear)—or that they will for one instant sign away
your rights or compromise the integrity of your purpose.
We seek a union with a paper prepared to adopt our pro-
spectus. We must be satisfied that it is financially sound;
and in order that your interest should not be sacrificed you
should be fairly represented in the board of management.
Now, I put it to the meeting, I put it to the country, whe-
ther we have not been cautious in the advancement of this
enterprise. Gentlemen, we have no desire for concealment
as to the paper we would wish to join. We wish every-
thing fair and above board. It is the Star with which we
wish to amalgamate. I say, to the honour of the men of
the ,Star, they have not sought us. They are able, willing,
and determined to prosecute their noble enterprise on their
own footing.
Mr. G. BROWN, of Wandsworth—l should be myself
happy to carry out this resolution, and I rise for the pur-
pose of seconding the motion of Mr. Fletcher, that this
meeting be adjourned to take into consideration the sub-

Mr. D. MoRGAN THOMAS, having read the notice call.
ing the meeting,
The CnAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen, we have
reached a point in our enterprise when something must be
done. We have been canvassing for shareholders now for
several years, and we have not yet commenced the business
for which the company was chiefly organised, namely, the
starting orafetropolitan daily journal. It is true that we
have given our shareholders no pledge as to the precise time
when we should commence business ; and it is also true that
we have started a weekly journal in whose merits not a few
rejoice. But the shareholders are not satisfied with the
weekly; not because of any intrinsic defects, but because
they bargained, they say, for a daily, and do not feel dis-
posed to support a weekly. This being the case Ido not
see that we can go on much longer canvassing for share-
holders, without starting the daily. And if you do not
continue canvassing for shareholders, your existing capital
will gradually be drained away by the necessary expenses
of the office. (Hear.) Something, then, must be done.
But what ? There seems to be only two courses at our
choice, either to wind up the company or to start forthwith
a daily. Some few dissatisfied shaieholders, I have no
doubt, would advocate the former course. The newspaper
press would gladly hail it, and our enemies, who are neither
few nor feeble, would be delighted ; but I am persuaded
that such an opposition would be raised to this by the great
body of our more public spirited shareholders that would
render a dissolution legally impossible. If we start a daily
it seems that it must not be more than ld. Our idea at first
was a high-priced paper—l thought 3d. would be the lowest
price at which we could start, but since our company was
organised, the newspaper press has undergone a
thorough revolution. The penny paper has come into
existence, has grown to a tremendous power, and,
as soon the repeal of the Paper-duty, which can-
not be long, will become greater still. It may be said
our object was to create a paper that should compete with
the Times. Be it so. It is the penny that is to grapple
with Jupiter, and nothing else. Now there are but two
ways of starting the Daily at a penny, either by creating an
entirely new one, or by joining, on honourable conditions,
an existing one. Which shall it be ? Shall we start inde-
pendently of any existing paper? This, of course, you can
do, if you were to employ the whole of your legally avail-
able capital, which amounts to upwards of £200,000. You
could afford to be making mistakes and buying experience,
until at length, perhaps, it would become a paying concern.
But to me there appear three great difficulties in the way of
starting an entirely new metropolitan journal. (Hear.)
First, the immense sums of money that we should inevit-
ably sacrifice in the attempt. All new papers have sunk
their thousands, and we have no right to assume that we
should be especially favoured in this respect. Secondly,
another difficulty in the way is the indifference of share-
holders. If all the shareholders would be true to the pledge
implied in the joining—namely, to co-operate heartily with
those in making this great experiment—l should have had
but little difficulty. The hearty co-operation of 9,000 men
would have made any paper a tremendous power and success
at once. But in this I have been sadly disappointed. If I
were able I would this day return the money of every
grumbling shareholder, and free the enterprise of them.
Another difficulty in starting an entirely new journal is
this—the ground is occupied. The penny press has taken
the field. The difficulties, then, to me in starting an en-
tirely new journal are so formidable that I should hesitate
greatly before I committed myself to it. It seems to me,
therefore, that the only eligible course is to unite with
something existing—a popular journal. The question is,
Can such a junction be formed ? For my own part, I can
consent to no union where the following things are not re-
cognised and guaranteed :—First, the adoption of our name
and the entire adoption of our prospectus. Though some,
with a sad perversity, continue to charge us with having
surrendered some of our principles, I maintain that
our prospectus is in every essential respect the same as
it was when it first appeared in print. Nor will I con-
' sent to surrender ono jot or tittle of the prospectus. If we
join a paper, it must become in spirit the .Dial—become all
that we would be if we started a journal independently.
Secondly, another thing wnich must be recognised and
guaranteed before joining any paper, is that it is in a
healthy commercial condilion. Thirdly, another thing for
which I require a guarantee before I join any paper is, that
the shareholders shall have a healthy control ever it. The
representative principle in journalism is to me one of the
characteristics and one of the charms of the enterprise. I
do not believe in the irresponsible " we." Fourthly, another
thing for which I require a guarantee is that our share-
holders be protected to the utmost against a second call.
Now let these things be secured, let the entire adoption of
our prospectus be secured, let the healthy commercial state
of the journal we join be assured, let the representative
principle be guaranteed, and let the shareholders be pro-
tected to the utmost against a second call, and then I am
prepared to join an existing daily journal, With these con-
ditions secured I care but little what journal we may adopt.
Some will say that the project of a union is a wonderful
come-down for us. Ido not think so. We have reached a
position to join on an equal footing a first-class popular
journal, and the _Dial seems to me even a greater work
than to ci cafe a new one.
EDMOND BEALES, Esq., M.P., then rose and said, the
resolution I have to propose is as follows :
" That the directors be empowered to enter into such ar-
rangements as they may think advisable for bringing out the
daily Dial in conjunction with an existing daily paper upon
the principles of the National Newspaper League Company
(Limited), and that if it be necessary for the above purpose
to form a separate company with limited liability, in con-
junction with the proprietors of the existing journal, a sum
of money not more than £17,500 be contributed from the
present funds of the company towards the capital of the
new company, and that the shareholders of this company
now appoint four, or a sufficient number, of the members of
their board of directors to represent, as directors and trus-
tees,the shareholders of this company in the new company."
Mr. Beales explained in very general terms the chief
'eatures of the plan; following the leading of the chair-

There were several false starts, Gridiron, Reynard, and

Tyrant went to the front, closely waited upon by Gibraltar,
the two being some lengths in advance of the next lot,
headed by Rockley and Rising Sun. Coming along the
flat, Gibraltar went to the front, Tyrant being se ;end, Rock-
ley and Rising Sun next, side by side. Nearing the dis-
tance Rockley went up to Gibraltar, and before reaching

Th ein quest on the bodies of the unfortunate per-
sona kill ed on the East Lancashire Railway, at
nsho re, by a collision during the night of Mon-
day , was commenced yesterday, at the Turners'
Asr ns Inr t, Helmshore, befose Mr. Hargreaves, coro-
ner • for B lackburn. It appeared that 10 persons
ha d been killed, and not 11, as stated in our report
YE •sterday. Before the inquest we were informed
tl tat two other of the passengers were not likely to
s• arvive many hours.
Amonipt the gentlemen present were Mr. Fen-
ton, one of. the traffic managers ; Mr. Shaw, passen-
ger superintendent ; and Mr. Grundy, solicitor to
the corn pany.
The Coroner said it was onl'r his intention to
take evidence at the present meeting with a view to
the identification of the bodies. Wah regard to
the awful occurrence on which they were called
together, it would require very strict investigation,
in or der that they might arrive at a satisfactory con-
clusion ; but the material past of the evidence it
would be necessary to defer to another day.
The jury then accompanied the coroner to view
the bodies. They afterwards went down the line
to see the place where the collision took place. The
line from the station to this place is on a gradient
of 1 in 78, and is slightly curved through a cutting.
Edward James Taylor said—The deceased,
Richard Heap, wry a neighbour of mine, at Warp
Mill, near Colne. Deceased was 25 years old, and
left a widow and five children. Deceased and my-
self left Colne together, and went by an excursion
train to Manchester, about 20 minutes after 9 o'clock
on Monday morning. There was an exhibition at
Belle Vue Gardens, Manchester, and we went to
that. I left Manchester on my return about a
quarter-past 11 at night, by the last train. I was
aware there were two excursion trains before us.
Deceased did not go back in the same carriage with
me. We passed the Ramsbottom station safely,
and proceeded upwards of two miles further be•
fore anything happened. I then heard the noise of
a crash, and felt that we had come into collision
with something. I then jumped out of the carriage,
I saw and heard smoke and steam rushingfrom the
engine, and was afraid to approach it, fearing an
explosion. A great many people were then oat of
the train, which had come to a stand, and there was
great confusion and alarm. As soon as possible I
did approach, and found two carriages of a train
that came back upon us broken to pieces, and two
other carriages were thrown upon the bank of the
cutting, and several others in a shattered condition.
Many of the passengers had been thrown out of the
carriages, and were lying about, and many were
lying amongst the wreck of the broken carriages.
The railway servants and passengers assisted those ,
who could not help themselves. I assisted, and saw
two women and one man drawn out, who were dead.
I saw Richard Heap carried away on a plank, and
went to him, not knowing at the time who it was,
but he told me his name, and he recognised my
voice and called me by my name. I accompanied
him to the inn, and after going to the scene of the
accident several times, was present with him about
5 o'clock, when he expired. He appeared to be
much crushed about the thighs and abdomen. There
was an awful cut on the right thigh, and one leg
was much twisted. The collision occurred about
half-past 12 o'clock. I do not know how many
carriages there were in my train, but I counted 16
in the part of the train which had come back into
collision with us. The carriages appeared full, but
not over-crowded. The carriage I travelled in was
four or five from the engine. In our train I only
perceived one carriage that was injured—the one
next the engine and tender. The engine and boiler
did not appear much injured,but they were covered
so much with fragments of broken carriages that I
could not see them well enough to speak to parti-
culars. It appeared to me from what I saw that
our train was going 10 or 15 miles per hour. The
train seemed to be going cautiously up the incline
before the collision, and I supposed it was because
there was another train before us. Of the 16 car-
riages we ran into, there were five broken, and the
passengers in those carriages were some of them those
of whom I have spoken. I knew amongst the other
passengers killed, John Blythe. Mr. Shaw, the
general superintendent of the line, gave me autho-
rity to get whatever assistance I could for the
wounded ; and the railway porters and servants did
all they could to aid them.
By a juror—ln getting the dead and wounded
from the carriages I noticed that there was a break
to one of the carriages ' • either the third or fourth
of those we ran into. We had to move that car-
riage, and after we removed it 3 feet back, I then
directed the break to be screwed down. Whether
it was screwed down before I did not know.

it commenced running back. His father had left
a widow and eleven children, nine of whom were

GARIBALDI'S LANDING LY Z;ALARRIA.

We have been favoured with the following ex-
tract of a letter from an officer commanding one
of Garibaldi's ships. It is dated from the Coast of
Calabria, August 26 :
" I write to you from the coast of Naples, where
I have preceded my comrades by a few days (seve-
ral of whom are coming by land and others by
steamer), to conduct 51 officers and about 120 Nea-
politnn prisoners. I was fortunate enough to be of
great assistance at the landing in Calabria, in the
following manner. Arrived at Taormina, after hav-
ing left Palermo with 400 men and having gone all
round Sicily in order to deceive the cruisers, I took
on board 800 more, together -vith Garibaldi, and on
the 18th, at 10h. 20m. p.m., I left Taormina, in
company with the Transatlantic Company's steamer
Torino, which had upwards of 300 men on board,
and at 2 a.m. of the 19th I dropped anchor near
Mileto, between the Capo dell' Armi and the Cape
of Spartivento. This would have been a most for-
tunate affair had not the Torino unluckily run a-
ground, and notwithstanding our most strenuous
efforts for six hours to get her off, I was compelled,
seeing nothing could be accomplished, and owing
to want of coals, to abandon her. It was a very
good thing that I did leave her, as half-an-hour
afterwards I fell in with two Neapolitan frigates,
met with the
the Fulminante and the Palermo, and had I re-

Mr. J. EDWARDS—If the Dial has to be started in itself,
I think Mr. Thomas was perfectly correct in stating that
it
must be a penny Dial. There is a penny paper, it appears
with similar aims ; and if the Dial were established, these
papers must necessarily be antagonistic. (No, no.) I say
they must—(hear, hear) ; that is, I say, as far as advertise-
ments are concerned ; and I think it would be a pity if no
amalgamation could be effected. It would realise in some
way the original pretensions. I think this project is a lea-
sibla one. (./k voice—" A feeble one.") Some gentleman
says it is a feeble one. If that gentleman would invite me,
I would go down at my own expense to Hanley with Mr.
Albutt and Mr. Wragge ; I would meet them there before
the shareholders, and would undertake to prove to them
that this is the most expedient and the best course we can
pursue.
Dr. BURNS—I think the whole matter has been very
comprehensibly stated, and that the gentlemen present will
be able to come to some definite conclusion without having
an adjournment. I have never been very enthusiastic or
sanguine in connection with the Dial movement. I have
rather been dragged into it, but not because I did not ap-
prove of the idea. I thought the Idea was grand, beautiful,
and essential to the moral progress of our country ; but I
always saw very great difficulties in the way of working it
out, and I see some of these difficulties still. But I feel
that if we carry this out the great idea will not be ship-
wrecked. It is only the adoption of this principle or the
winding up of the company. I don't think the £20,000
invested in starting the Dial is at all adequate to the ob-
ject. And, supposing you can increase your 9,000 share-
holders into 10,000, I think if we are at all disposed to carry
out our purpose we must do it by an amalgamation.
Several speakers hereupon followed. After they had
been heard, Mr. Fletcher withdrew his motion for adjourn-
ment.
The CHAIRMAN put the amendment proposed, "That it
is not expedient to publish the Dial, icc." Eight hands
only were held up in favour thereof, the original resolution
was enthusiastically carried.
Mr. KNox then moved that the Rev. David( Thomas,
Edmond Beales, and John Moss, Esqs., and the Rev: W.
Webster, be the representatives of the company in the new
company.
After some conversation the motion was put and carried.
After the adoption of some other resolutions, the meeting
separated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

man.
The Rev. Was. ACICWORTH, M.A.—I second this reso
lution, and I think the friends of the Dial will have occa-
sion to rejoice in it as long as the Dial will carry out the
prospectus of the company. I shall probably sometimes
soribbln in it; but it must be understood that I don't write
like Shakespeare or an archangel.
Mr. FREDERICK WRAGGX, of Stoke—When I tell you
that I have come a considerable distance this morning, at
great pecsonal inconvenience, to attend this meeting, and
when I inform you that I am in possession of the senti-
ments of a great many shareholders, I think no further
apology will be necessary in trespassing for a moment upon
your time. I must express my great surprise and astonish-
ment that this meeting has been called upon such a day in
the week, when it is impossible for distant shareholders I.
make their appearance. (Hear, hear.) I must beg, if the
meeting will bear with me for a few minutes, to recall their
attention to that prospectus of which we have heard so
much, and to the circumstances under which this company
was formed. Many I dare say will remember that in the
provinces, when those gentlemen came down to us, that
they impressed upon us that it was a fundamental condition
of the formation of the company that no paper was to be
issued until 20,000 shareholders had been obtained. This
was the motto of the company, it was emblazoned on the
portals of the enterprise (laughter), and it was upon the
faith of that statement, that I and hundreds of others took
shares. I say that it is a total departure from the promises
made to us that we should not be called upon to launch fur-
ther into this enterprise without that condition having
been fulfilled. Well, we are called upon and invited
not only to start a daily paper, but to unite or
arnalgate with some paper which has been already
established. I say this is another total departure from
the prospectus. (No.) I know the answer I shall get. I
shall be told that it has all been done legally—(Yes)—but
I shall tell you that many unjust and improper things
may be done without transgressing the limits of the law ;
and I say that morality and equity should guide us. But
there is another thing, gentlemen, we must remember,
Since our shareholders were obtained times and circum-
stances have considerably altered. (Hear.) We were then
in a state of comparative commercial prosperity, but now it
is not so. The small capitalist and little shopkeeper require
our consideration and sympathy. With complications in
the politics of the continent, with a dark cloud lowering
over the nations of Europe—(laughter)—whilst some with
sullenness and gloom now bear the iron yoke of despotism
—(laughter)—others turning their faces to what seems the
first turn of the light of liberty, and others also fighting for
what is dearer to them th life—the freedom of—(laugh-
jter and vproar). At this time, with commercial panic
coming, with cleficien.t harvest certain—(no, slid. laughter)

lights from the coast of Sicily, and twenty minutes
after we all dropped anchor off that of Calabria, ex-
cept the Veloce which ran ashore. General Sirtori
sent to me to aid in getting her c►d' again, but I an-
swered him that I could not render him such assist-
ance, as I was embarrassed with the 100 men I had
on board, and consequently could not execute the
required manoeuvre. I then occupied myself with
the disembarkation, which was accomplished in less

than two hours, with my boats alone. Afterwarts.
I turned the stern of my vessel to that of the Veloce,
and she having provided two cables, I in a short
time succeeded in getting her off, and then returned
to the lighthouse, where I embarked about .1,000
more men, whom I landed safely thn nest evening
in Calabria. Yesterday morning I sailed with 800
more, and arrived at Bagnara at noon, where I
landed them, and there received the order to take
the prisoners to Naples, from whence I now write
you. I shall return to Palermo, so please addresB
