MERTHYR. DROWNING IS THE WATER COURSE.-On Monday an inquest was held before George Overton, Esq., on the body of Morgan Roberts, aged 5 years, who fell into the Plymouth watercourse, and was carried away by the cur- rent. He was at play with some other boys when he accidentally fell in. This makes about the 30th inquest held by the present coroner on the bodies of men, women and children who have fallen into the watercourse and were drowned. Surely this dangerous place ought to have a protecting fence, as the current ie so rapid that if once in it is almost impossible for a person to recover himself. After a short deliberation the jury returned a verdict of accidentally drowned. CHARTER or INCORPORATION.—A public meeting was held at the Temperance Hall on Wednesday se'nnight, convened by the High Constable in consequence of a numerously signed requisition having been presented to him, signed by two of the ironmasters and most of the leading tradesmen of the town. About 200 persons were present, and the High Constable was called on to preside. Mr. Goodfellow proposed, and Mr. Thomas Stevens se- conded That a petition of the inhabitant householders of the parish of Merthyr Tydfil be presented to Her Ma- jesty's Council to grant a charter of incorporation for the parish." Mr. Frank James, Mr. Simons, Mr. Fowler, and Mr. Overton spoke in favour of the resolution. Mr. Thomas, of the Glantaff Inn, Troedyrhiw, moved an amendment seconded by Mr. William Thomas, ccoper, that the subject be considered that day six months." There were nine hands held up for the amendment, and a forest of hands for the original resolution. It was stated by Mr. Fowler that although Mr. Crawshay had signed the requisition for convening the meeting, he would now strenuously oppose the charter, and that Mr. Clark, of Duwlais, would be neutral, or perhaps he would petit'ioa that Dowlais might not be included. MERTHYR POLICE COURT.—SATUBDAT. [Before J. C. Fowler and J. L. Roberts, Esqrs.

ROHBING A FELLOW LODGER AT ABERDARE.—Eliza- beth Davies was charged with stealing of Ann Francis, Foundry Town, Aberdare, the sum of JE12 Is., in gold and silver. The complainant hired a room in the house of David Jones, and about a week previously took the prisoner in as a fellow-lodger. On Friday the prisoner got up first, and the complainant saw her do something to her pocket which was in the box.
