"LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. EARLY HARVEST.—Mr Roberts, of Newton, near Pem- broke, on Thursday cut a field of white oats, in splendid condition, sown in April last. VAGRANCY.—On Tuesday week, Samuel Evans, was brought up before 0. E. Davies, Esq., charged with va- grancy. The charge was fully proved, and the prisoner was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment. THE WESLEYANS.—The Wesleyan Conference, now holding its sittings at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on Thurs- day proceeded to the election of its president, and then its secretary, for the year 1861-2. The votes given were as follow:—For president: Rev. John Rattenbury, 145; Rev. Charles Prest, 122; Rev. D. Osborn, 5. For secre- tary Rev. flohn Farrar, 235; Rev. W. L. Thornton, 18. THE PosTMEN.-The authorities have decided upon issuing a blue uniform to the provincial postmen. On Wednesday last the letter-carriers of Llanelly appeared in their new uniforms, and presented quite a changed aspect. Instead of, as formerly, scarlet coats faced with green, they have coats of a blue colour, scarlet collar and cuffs, with the letters G.P.O.' worked in white on the collars. PRESENTATION.—The defendants in the libel case, Gravel v. Owen, (a full report of which will be found in another column), have presented Mr Thomas Rogers, managing clerk to Mr Davies, Haverfordwest, solicitor for the defence, with a handsomely bound Bible and a gold ring. as a mark of their appreciation of the manner in which he had got up the case for the defence. THE GREAT EASTERN.—The Great Eastern is to be employed regularly in the trade between Liverpool and New York, but as at this season the prospect of receipts from visitors at Liverpool is good, It is intended to ex- hibit the ship at that port from the second week in August (when she is expected to return from Quebec) until about the 10th of September, when she will sail for New York returning to the Mersey about the middle of October. Amongst the many direct advantages which the people will derive from the Repeal of the Paper Duty, a. very important one is already promised by Messrs Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, in their announcement of John Cas- sell's New Journal, I The Quiver,' price one penny weekly, the first number of which will be issued on 31st August for 7th September. The Qu ver is announced as being designed for the promotion and defence of Biblical Truth, and the advancement of Religion in the homes of the People-and will be larger than any journal hitherto issued at one penny. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—A coal train coming down the incline from Llansamlet to Lan- dore on Tuesday week ran off the line near the former station the train at the time was going at such a speed that the shock crumpled up several of the coal trucks as if they had been made of brown paper, and thedebris was strewn over the line so as to put a stop to the traffic for some time. The 7 o'clock mail train did not leave Swansea station till 9 o'clock, and the down train at 8.28 did not reach Swansea till near 10 o'clock. No person was injured, nor did the engine suffer any damage. HAVERFORDWEST RIFLÉ VOLUNTEERS.—A recent num- ber of the London Gazette announces the acceptance of the services of the Second Haverfordwest Volunteer Corps. The appointment of commissioned and non-com missioned officers will take place this evening. We may state that Captain Peel has very generously presented £5 to be divided into five prizes of a sovereign each and competed for by the members of the Corps. The prizes will extend over a period of five weeks, one prize being shot for in each week, and every member desirous of competing will be required to pay an entrance fee of 6d. The second best shot will receive two-thirds of the money realised by the entrance fees, and the next in merit will be awarded a third. The contests will commence on Thursday, the 8th of August. HAVERFORDWEST UNION WORKHOUSE. —On Tuesday week, three tramps, John Wltite, Philip Humphrey, and Samuel Morris, were brought up before W. Davies, Esq., at Spring Gardens, charged with disobedience to the lawful orders of Mr W. Jeffreys, the master of the Union Workhouse. The prisoners had been admitted into the Union, and when requested to perform the work measured out to them, refused, and on their ad- hering to their dotermination, they were delivered into the custody of the police. White behaved with great -insolence to the Mayor, and in reply to the questions put to him, told his Worship to mind his own business. White was ordered to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two months with hard labour, and Hum- phreys and Morris were sentenced to 14 days each.— Thomas Webb, a member of the same fraternity, was also charged by Mr Jeffreys with destroying his cloth.s. The prisoner, who was enveloped in a sack, was ordtred to be imprisoned for 14 days in the House of Correction. f ROOSE AND DUNGLEDDY PETTY SESSIONS.—These Sessions were held at the Shire Halt on Saturday before the Rev. Thomas Watts, Rev. P. Phelps, and O. E. Davies, Esq.,—Henry Norris, late of the parish of Burton, was charged with unlawfully assaulting and beating George Hay, on the 10th of July, 1861, at the parish of Burton. Mr Parry appeared for the defendant. The defendant is clerk of the works now being constructed for the Trinity Board in the parish of Burton, by Mr Douglas, the contractor, and the assault arose out of an altercation in which the defendant insinuated that the complainant had taken lime belonging to the Contractor of the Works. The complainant repelled the insinuation, and after a warm conversation whilst walking along the road, the defendant threatened to kick the complainant, and ultimately threw him down on a pile of stones. On the defendant's part it was urged that he merely thrust his hand out to put the complainant aside, and that he stumbled against the stones, but did not fall. The de- fendant was fined 10s., and ordered to pay the costs, amounting to iCl Os. 2d. Mr Watts dissented from the decision delivered by his brother magistrates, stating that he thought a fine of 6d. would have been quite sufficient. The fine was immediately paid. The license of the Sloop Inn, Milford, was transferred from Mary Wagner, to Anna Rees. HAVERFORDWEST WATCH COMMITTEE.—A meeting of this committee was held at the Council Chamber on Monday for the purpose of appointing a sergeant of the Borough Police. There were present: The Mayor, W. Davies, Esq., (in the chair) Mr O. E. Davies, Mr James Phillips, Mr M. Whittow, Mr James Jenkins, Mr S. Harford, Mr C. Saies, Mr T. R. Owen, Mr W. Carter, Mr Edward Thomas, and Mr W. Marychurch. Mr Joseph Clement Bowden was unanimously elected to fill the office. Mr Bowden is at present holding a similar appointment in the Swansea Borough Police; and the testimonials presented by him to the Watch Committee (by which they were guided in their selection) were of the most satisfactory character, and describe him as pos- sessing all the qualifications required in a police officer. The salary of the new officer will be X52 per annum, with house rent free of rates and taxes, and he will be required to perform the duties of Sanitary Inspector. The Watch Commitee have selected the house in Dew-street, formerly in the occupation of Mr George Merchant Phillips, as a residence for Mr Bowden, the front room of which, (recently used for the purposes of a shop) will be appro- priated as a police office. The Committee also passed a resolution recommending the Council to allow the Police Officer X2 per annum for firing, and the use of the water now conveyed to the premises. A committee, consisting of Mr 0. E. Davies, Mr Rees, Mr Harford, and the Town Clerk, were appointed to revise the police regulations, one hundred copies of which were ordered to be printed for circultion among the members of the Council, and the constables of the police force. HARROLDSTON ST. ISSELLS SUNDAY SCHOOL.—On Tuesday week, the children of this school were entertained at Fernhill, the residence of John Higgon, Esq., (who kindly gave the use of his house and grounds for the purpose) with tea and cake, and enjoyed themselves most fully and satisfactorily. They were indebted for their entertainment to the subscriptions principally of Col. Rous, Mr Higgon, Mr Harvey, and others, collected by Mrs Lewis Evans, who took upon herself the management of the affair, and right well did she do her part. The children met at the church early in the afternoon, whence they marched to Fernhill, where they were soon after- wards visited by a numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen from Haverfordwest and elsewhere, who joined the children in their entertainment, and who contributed in a high degree to the enjoyment of the occasion. Games were played, and various sports carried on, during which the ladies and gentlemen mingled freely with the children and assisted in their amusement, and sever,il of the gentlemen, including the Revs H. C. D, Chandler, J as. Thomas, and W. B. Thomas, and Dr Geo. Phillips addressed them on the occasion. About 7 o'clock the party gathered about the house when cake and fruit were served out, and after some singing they broke up, having from the fineness of the weather, the beauty oftlle scenery, and the pleasantness of the party enjoyed a most delightful day's amusement. In addition to those already mentioned as being present on the occasion, we may mention Miss Meyler, Miss Owen. Mrs James Eaton Evans and friends, Miss Phillips, Miss Jones, Miss S.Phillips, Misses Watson Mrs W. Phillips, Miss Evans, Mr and Mrs Evans, of Har- roldstone, Mr and Mrs George Thomas. Mrs Baker, the Misses Elliott, Mr Vaughan, Mr and Mrs R. Evans, Mr James Thomas, &c. CRICKET.—A match was played on Friday last, between the Tivy side and Pembroke-dock Garrison Clubs. The Tivy-side gentlemen went first to the wickets, and scored 68, 14 of which were very cleverly obtained by Mr Ware. The Pembroke-dock gentlemen were disposed of tor thirty runs; and the Tivy-side gentlemen were thus a second time victorious. We subjoin the score:— TIVYSIDE. J.

The game was decided by the first innings, as time would not permit of the Haverfordwest gentlemen entering upon a second innmgs. Mr Lloyd, of the Tivy- side Club, made an excellent score of 27, composed of a 4, seven 2's, and singles. Mr Bonner also contributed a 24 in good style. His. score consisted of eight 2's and singles. Very good play was also exhibited by Mr A. Lascelles and Mr R. Lascelles. The display of batting on the side of the Haverfordwest gentlemen was very inferior, but the bowling was excellent, and if it had been well supported iu the field, would have deprived some of the Tivyside batsmen of their double figures. The following is the score :— TIVYSIDE. First Innings. Second Innings. S. Lascelles, run out 6 b Philipps. 15 — Theodore, run out 3 c Bolton b Rooke.. 1 W. Lewes, run out 1 run out 5 J.

The con- duct of one of the persons, whose dismissal is now commu- duct of one of the persons, whose dismissal is now commu. nicated to the public, has been the cause of much painful feeling to the whole Corps, and the announcement that it will henceforth be deprived of his company will be a subject of general congratulation. The unfortunate stabbing affair of Pembroke Dock perpetrated by the individual, who is now no longer a member of the Haverfordwest Corps, has given rise to offensive observations in certain quarters, and one curiously-shaped member of the semi- provincial press has seen in it a fair occasion for the ex- ercise of malevolent ingenuity. How a disgraceful occur- rence of any description owing its origin to a mem- ber of a public body can be reviewed with an ill-concealed chuckle of delight is a matter of no small astonishment, and no person, we hope, will concur in the strange assertion that the inutility of the Volun- teer Movement is proved by the misconduct of one or two of the 150,000 who represent it. So far as the Haver- fordwest Corps is concerned we feel sure that no pro- ceeding calculated to bring discredit on the Volunteer Movement will be tolerated, and any member failing in the respect due to himself and the body to which he be- longs, will have his connection with the Corps speedily terminated:— ORDER No. 1. Haverfordwest, July 19th, 1861. William Jones, having been guilty of a breach of disci- pline in quitting the ranks without permission, after the Review at Pembroke-dock, on the 10th inst., and of con- ducting himself in a manner discreditable to the Corps to which he belongs, is hereby dismissed, and his name is struck off the roll of the 1st Haverfordwest Rifle Volun- teers. XAVIER PEEL. ORDER No. 2. 1 Haverfordwest, July 19th, 1861. Thomas Nash, having been guilty of a breach of disci- pline in absenting himself from the ranks and leaving his rifle in the market-house at Pembroke Dock on the 10th inst., is dismissed the Corps. XAVIER PEEL. ORDER NO. 3. July 19th, 1861. In future any Volunteer leaving the ranks without permission, and not returning with, his Company, will at once have his name struck off the muster roll. It is absolutely necessary that this rule should be rigidly carried out, as the misconduct of one member throws discredit on the whole corps. XAVIER PEEL.
PEMBROKE.
PEMBROKE. FRESHWATER RACKS.—Notwithstanding the stagnation caused by the continued wet weather, we understand the preliminary steps are being taken to promote the above annual sports; and as subscriptions appear to be forth- coming, added to funds in hands, we may anticipate that the meeting will go off with even more eclat than on former occasions. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese of St. David's held a confirmation at St. Ylary's Church, Pembroke, on Thurs- day se'nnight, which was very largely attended. Amongst the clergy who attended we recognised the Vicar, the Rev. C. Douglas, Rev. J. B Byers, Lamphey; Rev. J. Phelps, Carew; Rev. Mr Bowling, Cosheston; Rev. F. G. LeMh, St. Petrox; Rev. Mr Thomas, Nash; Rev. R. J. H. Thomas, Hodgeston; Rev. O. C. S. Lang, Pwll- crochan, &c., and a large number of gentry. REGISTRATION OF VOTERs.-The number of new claims received by the Overseers of the parishes of St, Mary, St. Michael, and Monk ton, Pembroke, from persons de- sirous of voting for the county is unprecedentedly large, as follows;-For the parish of St. Mary, 66; Monkton, 44; and St. Michael, 14, making a total of 124 claims. As the number who are expected to claim to be entitled to vote in the Borough, will in all probability be propor- tionately great, the revising barrister will have a heavy duty to perform. PEMBROKE PETTY SESSIONS. Saturday.—[Before George Dunn and Nicholas A. Roch, Esq., and the Rev. J. Allen.] Mr Noot appeared to answer a charge preferred against him on the previous Saturday by Mr Jones, the Clerk to the Board of Guardians, for the nonpayment of £60, being the remainder of a quota. Mr Noot said he had offered the money ( £ 60) to the Treasurer, who had refused to receive it It was explained to the Bench, that when proceedings had been taken, it was not usual for the Treasurer to receive money without knowing that the costs had. been paid. In this instance the costs had been paid, Mr JoneS and Mr Noot withdrew to settle the matter. Mr Thomas, Overseer of Warren, appeared to support So charge against Mr John Rees, for nonpayment of rates. Mr Thomas submitted the rate-book to the Bench, but a letter from Mrs Rees was also handed in, stating that Mr Rees was unable to attend through indisposition. The case was adjourned for a week, and if Mr Rees, of an attorney for him, will not appear then, the case would be proceeded with. David Llewellin, a servant in husbandry, in the employ of Mr Russell, of Yerheston, was charged with an assault upon his master by placing himselt in a fighting attitude and putting his fist in Mr Russell's face. Defendant pleaded guilty. Mr T. Russell briefly stated the case, that one evening he ordered defendant and other to set some plants on the following morning. In the morning they were engaged accordingly, but defendant appeared to be very dilatory, so Mr Russell asked him for the implement he was using and went on working, and said that was the way to do it, and that it would be better if defendant did stand to stand, and if work to work. Shortly after defendant went to breakfast, and stayed a very considerable time, and when Mr Russell saw him he complained of his con- duct, as he (defendant) was paid additional wage3 as the leading hand, when he made use of most disgusting and protane language. Besides which be raised his fist and said, D—n your blood, here is into you,' &c. His genera conduct wa- bad, and Mr Russell would have no objection to part with him if allowance were made him for the next three months, as he had maintained him the worst part 01 the year. His wages were £10 10s, of which he had re- ceived £ 3 14s lOd and £ 4 7s 2 £ d were now due to The Bench suggested to the defendant that he shoula allow Mr Russell X2 from the wages due, but he (deien* dant) declined. The case was consequently adjudicated upon, and defendant was mulcted 2s 6d and 7s 2d cos s, or seven days' imprisonment in default of payment. The same day.—[Before W. Hulm, Esq. (deputy mayor)* J. R. Bryant, T. Mansell, and M. Davies, Esquires, and the Rev. C. Douglas. 1 William Powell, landlord of the Nelson Inn, PembroltÐ Dock, was charged with assaulting William Wade, a private of the Royal Artillery. Complainant deposed that he was stationed at broke Dock. On the night of the 11th of June, abou. eleven o'clock, he met the defendant, who asked him he had been at his house two or three minutes previously' Wade said no With that defendant struck him, and jf felt something harder than a fist. When taken to a pojj! lichouse he found that the blow had broken three of teeth. He was afterwards taken to the Hospital, he remained until the 12th of July. He had been at defendant's house in the afternoon, but he had had 0 words there.

TENBY.
TENBY. Two packets arrived with excursionists from Llanelly on Monday week, acccompanicd by a band which played through the town. The weather was against the visitors, but they seemed to have been pleased with their visit. On Saturday, the 20th inst., the band of the Pembroke Dock Rifle Vounteers visited Tenby, and delighted the inhabitants with their performance. The great number of persons who assembled on the Croft to hear them, goes to prove what we have always endeavoured to urge on those interested in the public amusements of the town, that there is nothing more attractive than a good band. We thank our Pembroke Dock friends for their efforts to please, and hope soon to have another oppor- tunity of hearing them. The first prize archery meeting of the season was to have taken place on Monday week, but Phcebus, Diana, and some other minor and nameless divinities becoming jealous of the shooting, and the bright eyes of the fair Toxopholites, conspired together, and having obtained tha assistance of the gentleman who contracts to 'lay on' the water in those regions, their spitefulness showed itself in copious showers of rain which had the effect of throwing 'cold water' on the affair; the meet was there- fore postponed to Wednesday, but with no better result. We hope the next selected day will be more favourable. On Monday night a Promenade Ball was held at the Gate House Assembly Room: the Committee of the Tenby Archery Club acted as Stewards. The attendance was remarkably good and everything passed off delightfully. POLICE COURT.—JULY 18TH.—Before The Mayor,- J. Harries, quarryman, was charged with assaulting Rees Jenkins,-Fined 6d. with costs, 15s. 4d., or 14 days' imprisonment. On the 22nd inst., before the Mayor, N. J. Dunn. and F. D. Dyster, Esqs.-John Smith, ap- prentice to S. Morgan, blacksmith, for an assault on H. Matthews, apprentice to a trawler, was fined 6d. with costs.-Francis Biedneger, was charged with assaulting E. Seip, wife of James Seip, musical instrument maker. -Case dismissed, complainant to pay costs, 14s., or four- teen days to the House of Correction.-E. Seip v. Daniel Biedneger, for an assault.-Fined 6d., with costs. Thomas Morgan, quarryman, of Caldy Isfand, was charged by Thomas Welan, also of Caldy, with having committed wilful damage.-Settled out of Court.-On the 23rd inst., before the Mayor, and F. D Dyster, Esq.—Three soldiers, George Geddea, Thomas Saunders, and another, whose name has escaped us, were charged by P.O. Thomas,—Gedden for using obscene language, and dis- orderly conduct in the public streets on the night of the 20th inst., or morning of the 21st. Discharged for want of sufficient evidence: Thomas Saunders for resisting the police of the borough, and drawing his waistbelt. Discharged for want of identification the other soldier was charged with using obscene language, and diorderly conduct. The case being proved, he was sent to the House of Correction for 14 days.

CONCERT.—Herr Hauptmann's concert came off on Tuesday evening week, & the weather proving favourable, the audience was numerous. A March from Meyerbeer's 'L'Etoile du Nord,' with which the programme com- menced, was played with a very fair amount of precision by the Orchestral Society. After the glee—'Ye Spotted Snakes,'—by the Choral Society, a choice morceau, Beethoven's 4 Adelaide,' for Cornet-a-piston, violoncello, and piano, was performed by Mr W. L. Harding, Major Hope, and Herr Haptmann. The indescribable pathetic beauty, bound up in this elegant composition of the great master, from the first to the last note was well de- veloped by the executants, and made one long to hear more of these concerted pieces; prolonged applause followed the termination of the piece. The glee-—' Mark the Merry Elves of Fairy Land,'—was well received. This was followed by a violin solo by Herr Hauptmann a 'Fantasia de Salon,' by Vieuxtemps, J. Lombardi.' The solo, which is full of light and shade, was beautifully performed, and all the varied effects of the composition brought out with the most refined and delicate minute- ness. Herr Hauptmann's facile and chaste execution served him in good stead. We have seldom heard him to greater advantage, and so thought the audience for they rapturously demanded an encore, and for this piece was substituted Le Tremolo.' The Market Chorus from 'Auber's Masaniello' was sung with great spirit by the Society, and as usual was applauded to the very echo which (on the repetition of the piece did applaud again. The 'Surprise' andante movement, from Haydn's Third Symphony, came next in order. The Gipsy Chorus from Preciosa,' by C. M. Von Weber, with its prettily embellished accompaniment, was well sung and encored. Major Hope was much applauded for his charming ren- dering of Burgmiiller's morceau de Salon, tor violoncello, Chant d'amour.' The Carnival at Rome,' by Rossini, the last chorus sung by the Choral Society, was also encored and repeated with greater energy and precision than at first. Mr W. L. Harding then treated the audience to a Cornet-a-piston solo, from Flotow's 'Stradella,' This selection exhibited his rapidity of execution, quality of tone, and depth of expression, leaving nothing to be desired. As the length of the piece prevented his entirely complying with the wishes of the audience, he only repeated the latter part of the solo in a still more masterly style than before. The whole terminated with the 'Spring Flowers Galop,' by the Orchestral Society, played with great spirit. The entertainment was most satisfactory to audience and performers; and the Choral and Orchestral pieces show what can be done in a short time with the aid of a good teacher. We again wish them every success.
