Ree9ERIE3 Op BANE NOTES FROM LETTERS IS
Lrirsaroot.—At the Liverpool pollee-court, yesterday,
Thomas Roberts, a warehouseman and post-office clerk in the
establishment of Messrs. J. P. Eyton and Co., of James's-
street, in that town, was brought before Mr. Romilly, the
presiding magistrate, under the following circumstances:—
Mr. Clough, chief superintendent of police, stated that
on the 14th of Fcbrwiry last Mrs. Travers, of Dolton-le-
Moors, transmitted two letters, at different hours of the day,
to Memo. Eyton and Co. (who are extensive proprietor of
red mines te Wales) one of which latter matelnell eme
half of a 1001. note, and a U. note, and the other latter ties
other half of the 1001. note and a 101. note, thus making
the vales of the notes 1161. It was subsiquently disco-
vered, oa the 19th of the same month, that the leases and
their contents had been stolen ; and on the 16th of Sem ha
(Mr. Clough) received notice from the Bank of Hushed
that payment of the 1001. not* bad been stopped. He then
placed the ease in the hands of Inspector Kehoc, who found
that the note had been given by apeman answering in de-
mrDaeion to the prisoner, in payment for a gold watch, to Mr.

by Mr. Duff of the person from whom he had received

Mfr. &sine gave this direction was about half an hour
before the explosion.
Mr. Braine said it was proved that the militiaman had
said that there was little or no water in the boiler, and that
he yet went on for three hours. lie thought that would
explain the accident.
The Foreman said the jury wished to have some evidence
to show what edicts would be likely to follow from en
insufficiency of water.
Mr. Thomas Bush, engineer, stated that he had listened
to the evidence and examined the boiler. The boiler was
in better order thin many working ballers, and was of
sufficient strength for the preemie mad. The accident,
he had no doubt, was produced by a want of sufficient
water. It might have been caused in two ways—first, by
the pump injecting, when the engine started, cold water
on to a red-hot bottom; second, the stroke of the engine
at starting might have caused ebullition, and the water
being thrown over a heated surface, though nut red-hot,
would have suddenly generated a large quantity of steam.
Should think the latter the true cause, as the boiler pre-
sented no appearance of having been red-hot. Thu ave-
rage thickness of its plates was from a quarter to five-
ateenth of an inch. The removal of the masonry
had nothing to do with the accident. The boiler did
not explode at the top or sides, but went down at the
bottom.

Mr. Brune explained that the boiler was removed, not
from any apprehension of danger, but because it did not
produce as much steam as was required for the engine.
Mr. Grace, surgeon, having proved that the deaths of
the sufferers resulted front the explosion.
The Coroner summed up the evidence, and
The jury, after a short consultation, returned the follow-
ing verdict: " That the deceased parties died from injuries
caused by an explosion of steam from the bursting of
tine boiler of a certain steam-engine, and that the said ex-
plosion was caused by want of care and attention on the
part of John Burchell, the engineer, who had charge of the
said engine."

YORKSHIRE UNION OP MECHANICS' INSTITUTIONS.
_The annual conference of delegates from the different M-
I stitutions in the union, now numbering 117, was held at
Leeds on Wednesday. The delegates assembled at eleven
o'clock in the lecture-hall of the Leeds Mechanics' Institu-
tion ; and there were also present the Hon. and Very Rev.
the Dean of Ripon, J. G. Marshall, Esq., M.P., Evelyn
Denison, Esq., M.P., Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P., and
J. Toalmin Smith, Esq., of London. Edward Baines, Eeq.,
president of the union, presided over the meeting of dele-
gates, at which the report of the committee for the past
year was read, after which a free conference was held as to
the best means of promoting the success of mechanics' insti-
tutions in Yorkshire. The most harmonious feeling pre-
vailed throughout the proceeding'., and it was resolved that
next year the annual meeting should be held at Skipton.
At (our o'clock the delegates dined together at the White
Horse Hotel ; and in the evening they attended a public,
goings in the Music Hall, given in honour of the occasion by
the Leeds Mechanics' Institution. The Right lion. the Earl
of Carlisle presided at the soiree, and addressed the assem-
bly upon a variety of congenial topics. Mr. J. Evelyn
Denison, H.P.• in a short speech, proposed the following
resolution: "')that this meeting has a high sense of the im-
portance of the Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Institutes,
and believes it to be calculated both to increase the efficiency
and to extend the numberof those valuable institutions." Mr.
J.O.Manhall,M.P., seconded it, and itwas adopted nen. con.
The other speakers were Mr. M. Milne., the Dean of
Ripon, Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P. ; Mr. Hollings, of
the Midland Counties; Mr. J. T. Smith, of London; -Wil-
liam Fairbairn, Esq., of Manchester; the Mayor of Leeds;
and James D. Kitson, Esq., of Leeds. After a vote of
thanks to the noble chairman and the other visitors, the
proceedings were brought to a close at half-past 10 o'clock
at night.
THE OPTICE or CORONEE.—At the ordinary meet-
ing of Middlesex Magistrates, held yesterday at the Sessions
House, Clerkenwell, the report of the committee on the
office of coroner was considered. Previous to it. discussion
• memorial protesting against any interference with the
coroner's office, and signed by several householders, was
read. After some discussion it was agreed that a copy of
the report should be sent to the justices of each quarter
and borough sessions in England and Wales, with a request
that the court might be favoured with the opinion of the
magistrates, upon the views and recommendations of the
report. That copies of the report should be sent to her Ma-
jesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, and to
the Attorney and Solicitor-General, and also to the vestry
clerk of each perish and the board of guardians of
each union within the county of Middlesex. It
was further resolved, that in the opinion of the court
no inquest ought to be held upon a dead body, except where
the coroner has received information affording reasonable
ground for suspecting that the death has been occasioned
by some criminal act or omission ; and that the objects of
the resolution passed at the Quarter Sessions for January,
1830, whereby the coroners were " recommended to adopt
an uniform system for obtaining from the parish officers
such preliminary information as might satisfy them
that the circumstances required an inquest to be
held," have been to a great extent defeated by the
coroners not exercising sufficient strictness in eerie-
log the parish constables to answer the questions contained
in the printed forms of application, furnished to them by
the coroners; and that this and the last preceding resolution
be communicated to each of the coroners, together with a
copy of thiereport ; and finally that it is highly important
to the intmeeta of the public that the duty of summoning
the liftmen= and juries upon coroners' inquests, end of col-
Wks Werner for the same, as well as of filling up and
signing tim printed forms of application should be trans-
fined (so far as the metropolitan police district extends),
from the parish constables or beadles to the officers of the
*ice twee; and that this county is entitled to the mer-
lins debit keen for the above purposes.
