LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. HAVERFORDWEST RIFLE CORPs.-The prize given by CoL Peel for attendance at drill during the month of Ser tember, will be shot for on Monday next. The ranges "will be 200 and 300 yards, five rounds at each distance. Wimbledon targets and scoring. The first squad will fall in at 2'15, and complete the two ranges in imme- diate succession. The second squad will be formed at four o clock. Sergt. Major Reid will act as umpire daring the shooting. THE C.C.C. CHRISTY MINSTRELS.—This talented soajpany gave entertainments at the Shire Hall, on the evenings of Tuesday and Wednesday. The attend- ance on Tuesday was very large, but not so numerous as it would have been in the absence of the strong coun'er attraction of the races' at Tenby. The entertainment was very amusing, and the talent displayed was of a ■character which will be sure to give satisfaction to all who may honour the company with their patronage. The audience on Wednesday was small, the amount re- ceived at the doors being, we should imagine, insufficient to defray the expenses that were incurred by the com- pany but notwithstanding this drawback, the Minstrels performed a long programme in its entirety, and with an ability which evoked frequent applause. ANNIVERSARY SERVICE.—On Sunday afternoon, the 22nd instant, the anniversary service in connection with the Prendergast English Baptist Sunday School was held at Kill Park Chapel (which had been kindly placed at the disposal of the teachers of the above school, when the Rev W. Owen delivered an earnest and impressive address to the children, teachers, and friends, taking his text from Psalms 31th, and the llth verse. Several ayans were sung by the children in a very pleasing manner, reflecting great credit upon themselves and teachers. A collection was made at the close in aid of r I !.Uni8 °! } CltUhiDS Club which has been estab- lished about four years, and now numbers on the book nearly furty children, to meet which about L2 was coilectea. PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE-On Friday week a gentle- man, a member of a new London club called the 'Canoe Club,' armed in this town from Fishguard, having made his way round the coast from Aberystwyth to Fishgaurd Bay. From thence his canoe was conveyed over land to this town, and was launched in the river Claddau, a little below the Gasworks. The canoe was a very neat little specimen of naval architecture, being constructed in London on the improved life-boat prin- ciple, having air-tight compartments, and being furnished 'with every requisite for a smart sea voyage. Its occu- pier had provided himself, among other things, with compass, a life-belt, a lamp, &c., to ensure, if possible, froth, comfort and safety on his solitary voyage. He continued his trip down the river, and proceeded round the coast to Tenby, where he arrived in safety. TEE HYTHE BOOT.-It will be remembered that at the Itet meeting of the Haverfordwest Rifle Association, Mr Jiaos Allen, bootmaker, of High-street, offered a prize to be competed for by the Haverfordwest Corps a pair of sasoting boots. Mr Allen's prize has just come out of the workman s hands, and may be seen at his establishment, in High-street. The Hythe or shooting boot is con- iStrocted on principles which are now generally recognised as the beet, admitting, as they do, of the greatest strength is the manufacture, and allowing that freedom for the movement of the foot which is so necessary in active and prolonged exercise. Mr Allen is, we believe, among the Mssk of onr local tradesmen who have practically exhibited the advantages of the Bytbe Boot, and those which are now to be seen at his place of business are excellent specimens of that skill and workmanship which obtained for him a honourable position in the great Industrial Exhibitions of this country. LECTURE AT THE ALBANY CHAPEL.—On Tuesday evening, the 24th instant, the Rev Thomas Rees, D.D., of Swansea, d'livered an interesting lecture in the above chapel, on Nonconformity in Wales.' The subject was appropriately chosen for delivery at the Albany, it being the oldest chapel in the town, and founded by the Per. Peregrine Phillips, Rector of Freystrop, one of the ejected ministers of 1662. The lecture, therefore, was deeply interesting to the worshipper at Albany on this account. The lecturer handled his subject in an able manner, and was greatly applauded throughout the evening. Dr. Rees is the only Welshman who has written on Nonconformity, and he has spent some years in gathering together an amount of valuable information, which will be found in his work. The chair was ably filled by W. Walters, Esq. After the usual votes of thanks to the lecturer and chairman bad been given and resp nded to, the meeting closed by singing the doxology, prayer being offered the Rev J. A. Eberle. HAVERFORDWEST Towy COUNCIL—A special meeting of the Town Council was held at the Mayor's office, on Tuesday week, for the purpose of further considering the report of Mr Brodie on the water supply and drainage of the town. After a lengthy discussion it was ordered— 'That application be made to Parliament in the next session for an Act to enable the Council to increase the supply of water, and to carry out {and perfect a system of sewerage in the town, and for certain other powers in reference to the Corporation tolls and dues, and other Corporate matters: and that the Town Clerk be in- structed to prepare and publish the necessary notice of the intention of the Council to make such appli- cation. That a Committee be appointed to consider and report to the Council such other matters, and to communicate with the sevpral public Bodies in the town on the subject of their joining in securing by such Act. increased powers for carrying into effect the objects of their several Acts. nut such Com- mttee consist of the following gentlemen, viz, the Mayor, Mr William Rees, Mr William Owen, Mr William Walters, Mr William Davies, Mr Harford, Mr Goode, Mr Marychurch, Mr Brown, Mr J. W. Phillips, and Mr Richard Williams, and that three form a quotum.' It was also resolved that the Town Clerk be instructed to forward a copy of the foregoing order to the Gas Commissioners, and the Trustees of the Freemen, and invite them to assemble on an early day for the purpose of considering the same and appointing a time to meet a deputation of the Town Council on the matter.' SECURITY OF POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS.—The following letter has been addressed to a contemporary :— SJR,-A case was tried at the Old Bailey on Friday which disclosed a fact that appears to me cannot be too generally known. The prisoner was convicted on two separate indictments, one for stealing a savings bank book, and the other for forging the name of the prose- cutor to an application for the withdrawal of the deposit. In the course of the trial it was stated that the Post. office authorities were not answerable for the loss, ac- cording to the Savings Bank Act. The consequence is that the prosecutor, a fireman, has probably lost the savings of his life, £18. I believe the public have a very general improssion that, in placing their money in the Post office savings banks, they have what is called I Government security,' and what they understand by this term is such security as is given by the Bank of England. But depositors should now clearly under- stand that no such security exists. If any clever thief gets possession of their deposit book, and makes a clumsy forgery of their signature, he will find no difficulty in getting the money, and the authorities will quietly re- pudiate any claim upon them, on the ground that their Act of Parliament entirely relieves them from all re- sponsibility.-I am, Sir, yours, &c., ONE OF THE JUHY. PEMBROKESHIRE BATTALION OF VOLUNTEERS. The annual inspection of this battalion took place on Monday, at Portfield. The various corps mustered at two o'clock in the Castle Square, and marched to Portfield preceded by the fife and drum band of the Haverfordwest Volun- teers and the brass band of the Milford Corps, which played alternately. On arriving on the ground, the battalion was divided into six com- panies, the 1st and 2nd being composed of the Milford and Pembroke Corps; the 3rd and 4th of the Haverfordwest Volunteers and the 5th and 6th of the Narbeth and Cardigan Corps. Shortly after three o'clock, Sir Edward Campbell, district inspector of Volunteers, arrived, and was received with a general salute, the band at the same time z!l playing a slow march. The inspecting officer, ac companied by Col. Peel, at once proceeded along the ranks, and examined the arms and accoutre- ments of the men. This examination completed, Captain Brady, adjutant of the battalion, put the line through the manual and platoon exercises 's and Col. Peel resuming command, the battalion marched past in open and close order, and were subsequently put through a number of field move- ments. The battalion fired several rouuds of blank cartridge in line and in square. At the termina- tion of the field movements, the battalion* were exercised in the skirmishing drill by Captain Brady, each company being sent to the front in its turn. On the conclusion of the drill, the bat- talion formed into close column, and was'addressed by the Inspecting officer, In the course of his remarks, he said that no man was more ready than himself to award praise when it was due but he must confess that he was very much dis- appointed to find that the Pembrokeshire Bat- talion bad not improved since be last inspected them. Last year they performed their move- ments very well, and he was glad to be able to make a very good report respecting them but this year the movements were not so well done and the reason why it was so, they themselves knew better than he could tell them. Whether it was attributable to insufficient attendance at drill or to other causes, he could not tell • but he was very sorry to find that the battalion was at a was very sorry to find that the battalion was at a standstill. No 3 and 4 companies bad done their work well, but still there was not that improve- ment on their previous performances which he liked to see. He would rather praise than dis praise them, and he hoped that they would enl deavour to improve. They could shoot well, but that was not all that was required. It was neces- sary to drill as well as to shoot, and be could I perceive from what they bad done that they pos- sessed that knowledge which with practice would make them thoroughly efficient in drill. There was a great deal of unsteadiness in the ranks, and too much talking. Last year silence was strictly preserved, and they did their movements very well, but this year there was too much tal ing and he had had to speak of it several S progress of the exercises. He 3!? battalion would exert itself and next ZLl°,atta'n- ?reater proficiency by their the battalinninS^Paction.—Col. Peel also addressed how VrtvPd i observinS that if the men knew (how gneved. he was to hear the observations of the Inspecting officer respecting them he felt sure they would strive lo £ beU°er by next yea Tbey had dnUed very badly, and all J„Se.' quence of their waiit of atlention and of drill. The only companies which had done their work properly were Nos. 3 and 4; they bad done their duties well, but in the ranks of the other companies there was very o-reat un steadiness. He hoped that they would make an effort to acquit themselves in a better manner next year. The battalion deployed into line and forming into fours, returned to the Castle Square where it was dismissed. ————M ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. f These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Saturday { before 0 E. Davies. Esq, A. B. Starbuck, Esq, J. P Jones, Esq, and the Rev P. Phelps. NON-PAYMENT OF RATES. William Thomas was charged by the overseers of Roch with non-payment of rates. The case was adjourned for a week. ALLOWING ANIMALS TO STRAY. Peter Morgan was charged with allowing an ass to stray. The case was dismissed. William Lloyd was charged with allowing an ass to stray. Tne defendant stated that there was a path leading to his bouse, through a field, which was entered by a gate The donkey was in the field, but the gate being left open, the donkey, which waa I lonchered, got out. The constable deposed that he saw the donkey in the road. and that the loncher' bad got off one of its legs. The Bench dismissed the case. John Bowen, 01 the Bridgend Inn, Hakin, was charged with allowing two pigs to stray. The defendant, was nned Id and costs. Edward Owen was charged with allowing a pig to stray. The defendant was fined Id and costs. MOVING CATTLE WITHOUT A LICENSE. Charlell Flutter was charged with failing to produce a license while moving cattle. The defendant said he had no license. The cattle were bought at a sale at Dredgman Hill, and he did not think a license was necessary. The Bench said the defendant ought to have provided himself with a general license, and fined him 6d and costs, amounting altogether to 13s Id. ASSAULT. William Phillips, farmer, was charged with assaulting his servant, James Jenkins. Mr Price appeared for the complainant; and Mr John for the defendant. The complainant deposed that he had been a servant with the defendant, but now lived with his father ar Castlemorris. On the 20th of September lie was in the farm yard, putting the harness on a horse. He was attempting to pUt the collar over the horse's head, when it started off, and the harness fell off. The defendant then ran after him, and hit him on the head. He also said something to him, when he (complainant) told him that if he did not leave him alone, he would hit him with a stone. He threw a stone at defendant, but did not hit him. The defendant then ran after him, and struck him on the shoulders with a stick. He was about to strike him again. when the ploughman told him to be off as he had given him enough. There were marks ou his back from the effeots of the blow. His wages were Zi a year, and he had been in the defendant's service since last Michaelmas. In cross-examination, the complainant said tha' his master told h;m to bring the horse to the yard, and bar- ness it. The harness wis not kept in the stable, but in the dwelling house. Enoch John, the defendant's ploughman, deposed that he saw the defendant shove the complainant, and strike c him with a sticlr over the shoulders He did not see the whole of the affair, but after the defendant used the stick he told him to go away, as he had given the boy enough. Dorothy Jenkins, the complainant's aunt, deposed that the complainant came to her on the day the affair oc- curred, and she examined bis back. There was a lump the sizri of an egg on his back, and as red as blood. It was quite hlack the next day. This was the case for the complainant. Mr John addressed the Bench in the defendant's behalf, contending that the defendant had a right to puni-h his servant for wilful neglect. The evidence of the complainants witness proved that the defendant i" the first instance merely shoved him, and it was after the complainant had thrown a stone at the defendant that he struck him with a stick. If the stone had struck the defendant in the head, it might have done him great injury, and a serious charge would have been preferred airainst, the complainant. All that occurred in reference to the stick took place after the stone was thrown, and he thought the attention of the bench should be directed to the first, part ot the affair only. The complainant bad not taken proper precautions when he was harnessing the horse, and it started off. The harness fell down and was damaged. The defendant corrected the complainant by shaking him about, and he submitted that he was justi- fied in doing so. Mr Phelps enquired of the Clerk whether Mr John was right in his statement that the law permitted a master to chastise his servant. The Clerk, after stating that it was Mr John's place to find the law for his own case, said that he was certain that the master had no such right. A parent might correct a child and a master an apprentice but no such power was vested in a master with regard to his servant. Mr John said he differed with the Clerk, and that the master had 'a right to chastise his servant. The Clerk said a reference to Burn's Justice would prove the correctness of his statement. Mr John said he would not argue the question, as he did not think it of any importance to his case. The Bench said that they were of opinion that an assault had been committed, but it was too trivial to merit any punishment, Mr Price asked the Bench if they would order the defendant to pay the complainant the balance of wages due to him. The Cierk said that no order could be made by the magistrates. The question relating to the wages was not before them. The defendant said he would pay the complainant all the wages due to him, and handed the money over to him in the Court. ASSAULT. Esther John was charged with assaulting Hannah Evans. The defendant denied the charge. The complainant deposed that she lived at Rosemarket, and that the defendant came to the school, and, accusing her of beating her child, seized her, and pushed her down on the form. She slapped her in the face, and struck her several times, Miss Scott, the schoolmistress at Rosemarket, deposed that the defendant came into the school, and complained respecting Evans, but as the affair took place out of school, she told her she had nothing to do with it. She turned away to attend to her duties, and thought the de- fendant would leave the school; but instead of doing so, she seized the girl, and thumped her with her hand. She separated them, and she saw blood upon the com- plainant. The defendant said that the complainant had beaten her children, and she spoke to the schoolmistress about it. On the day in question, the complainant struck her with stones, and abused her*. The Bench fined the defendant 5s and costs, amount- ing altogether to 18a 6d, which she was allowed a month to pay. BREACH OF CONTRACT. Jfrs Esther Hodge was charged with a breach :of con- tract by Elizabeth Smith. Mr Hodge applied for an adjournment of the case stating that the summons was served on the Friday, and that his mother was not at home at the time. The Complainant said that she had no home to go and that if the case were adjourned she did not know where to go in the meantime. The Clerk said that the defendant had not had the notice required by the Act, and that the case must be adjourned. He spoke about the shortness of the notice when the summons was issued, and the complainant said she would take all the risk. In reply to Mr O. E. Davies, Mr Hodge said that his mother was in town, but had not been able to go home for her papers. If the com- plainant was willing, his mother would attend that after- noon at Mr James's Office, and endeavour to come to an arrangement. This suggestion was acquiesced in, and the case was adjourned.

TEN B Y. MISSIONS.—On October the 6th, the Bishop of Cape Town will preach in the Church of Saint Mary, Tenby, in behalf of missions, especially those of his own diosese. The fact of the Bishop being the chief opponent of the celebrated Colenso is sufficient to ensu* a fall church wad proportionately a good collection. I .T' A meeting on behalf of the Society for PrO- moting the Employment of Additional Curates in lous Places was held at the Royal Assembly R oms oO Tuesday, September the 17th, the Rev. Latimer Jones, Vicar of Carmarthen, attending as a Deput. iti m to eX* plain the objects of the society, the Rev. G. Hunting- ton, M. i. Rector, in the chair. Sermons were preached in the parish e.hurch on Sunday last by the Rector, and collections made in behalf cf the same society.

TENBY RACES. The above event has naturally be&n looked forward to with gn at expectation For many years the Tenby was "regarded in the roost favourable manner by iol'«r9 and patrons of the noble sport; the- peculiarly he>iuff<d situation of the lawn and select company of viwtof the. sjreat breeding lands of CtunleuiHrtin, W make it popular, and for many years the Tenhr r,.eeS went on and prosoereff; then the poorness of tht. c\"ir8« began to tell against it; as the breeding of the raee-horsfl rough and ready strength, the state of the course to tell. and no owner of an expensive horse having respect to i s well-hems, would run their colours on miserable place. The Stewards wore unexception al9* and the Secretary indefatigable, but all to no purpose, bnd to ail appearances the T-nby rae s were a'lout to be put into the limho of tilings forgorren. Bm there willi life in the old do*; vet the Tenbv nd Pet-nt)rok(- rg,IwBY was made; the ou-se drain. <1, wha: h'd been dri't safli and swamp became converted into turf; good steward* were selected, and the Ten "y rac-s .f 18fi7 determin d ,Il: subscriptions obtained, and on Ttw,d¡.¡y and Wednesda1 last, the24tli and 25th, became a gr^at fact. Early on Tuesday the inhabitants of the neighbouring towns sent in their quotas to ti e irreat gattieriiir; tM trains poured in some thousand- vehicles of ail descrip- tions tliro' ged th- road- h-aduitf to the course.and by time for the first race the ground presented a very credita- ble appearance A largi-and noMim^dious giand s and was erected, commanding u full and perieci vit w of the whole course—fl inked by several booths decorated witU flags, where the 'creature comforts' were most reasonable rate carriages fiiled with the youth and beauty of our town and neighbourhood were drawn uP outside the line of the course which had been railefl 0* for some six hundred yards, with Ntout pole railing. ft. very good display of h rse fl,'sh was made by those wbO came the bell rune for tbe first race.
