LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. BREACH OF THE PEACE.—At the Police Office on Tuesday week, before the Mayor, John Madocks, Esq, Margaret Roberts was charged with threatening a breach oft he peace towards Mary Lawrence. The defendant was Ibound over in two sureties of £5 each to keep the peace for six months. RENT AUDIT. -The half-yearly rent audit of the tenantry of J. H. Scourfield, Esq, M.P., in the Roose division, was held at the New Inn, Upper Market-street, On Tuesday week. After transacting the business of the audit, the tenantry, to the number of 60, dined together, the chair being occupied by Mr John Harvey, who presided with his usual ability and urbanity. The dinner was well prepared, and the arrangements of the hoatess, Mrs Robbin, whose skill as a caterer on such festive occasions is well known, gave as at all former audits, the utmost satisfaction to the guests. The health of Mr Scourfield and other members of his family was proposed and pledged with great enthusiasm; and the company after doing a similar honour to Mr Harvey, separated at an early hour, in every way gratified with their entertainment. PEMBROKESHIRE SONS OF THE CLERGY.-The annual meeting of this old institution took place on Thursday, when an excellent discourse was preached at St. Mary's Church by the Rev. W. Phillips, of Crunwear, who selected as his text a part of the 8th verse of the 13th chapter of 1st Corinthians«Jharity never faileth.' The lessons were read in an impressive manner by the vicar, the Rev. J. H. A. Philipps. We regret to state that the attendance was not so numerous as was antici- pated, the number of clergymen present being very small. A full choral service was performed by the ishoir. The music was well selected, and the singing was highly creditable, and much appreciated by the congregation. After the service, the subscribers and benefactors met together at the Mariner's Hotel, where the affairs of the charity were discussed, and the general business transacted. Subscriptions to this useful charity, which was established in 1783, are much needed, and will be received by the Rural Deans, the Secretary, the Rev. J. Tombs, Burton Rectory, and by the Honorary Treasurer, Mr R. H. Harvey, Victoria Place, Haver- fordwest. We should state that the collection at the I close of the service on Thursday was very liberal, con- sidering the paucity of the attendance. THORNTON-.—NEW CHAPEL.-The opening of the new Baptist Chapel at Thornton, near Milford Haven, took place on Wednesday last. This beauti- ful and commodious building, capable of accom- modating 300 persons, which has been erected by Mr and Mrs Rees of Scoveston, on their own pro- perty, and at their sole expense, is delightfully situated on an angle of the Tier's Cross and Robes- ton Roads, and overhanging the former one, with a handsome entrance from the Robeston Road. The hill side of the chapel, which is enclosed by a neat stone wall, is beautifully laid out with shrubs and young trees, forming a pleasing approach to the chapel. The interior is fitted up on the most modern principle, the convenience and comfort of the con- gregation being aimed at in the construction of the seats, which are made of varnished teak with sloping backs. Instead of the old box .style of pulpit there is a nice roomy platform about 12 feet long and 8 wide with a reading desk in front, the whole sur- rounded by a substantial wooden rail. The opening services commenced at 11 a.m., when the Rev. J. H. Hinton, of London, preached a most impressive sermon from the 3rd chap. of John, 16th verse. The Rev T. Davies, D.D., and Mr George Rees, a student in the Bristol College, took part in the service. In the evening the Rev Mr George of Milford, preached in English, and Dr Davies, in Welsh; the former preaching instead of the Rev G. H. Davies of Houghton Regis, who had been previously announced to preach, but was too unwell to do so. After the morning service refreshments, liberally provided by Mr and Mrs Rees, were laid out in the commodious schoolroom under the chapel. At each service the chapel was crowded, and what is rather unusual at opening services, there were no collections, all costs being defrayed by the generous donors. HAVERFORDWEST PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Wednes- day, before the Mayor, John Madocks, Esq. D HUNK EX NESS, &c. Motris Llewellin, of Prendergast, was charged with drunkenness after a previous conviction. The defendant was ordered to find bail, himself and two sureties in the sum of £ 10, to be of good behaviour for one month: and in default to be committed for that period. Anne Thomas, of Shipman's Lane, was charged with drunkenness and riotous conduct. This case had been adjourned from a previous sessions. The defendant was lined 51 and costs; in default of payment to by imprisoned for one calendar month in the House of Correction. BREAKING A PUBLIC LAMP. Thomas Summers was charged by Mr J. Gibbon, with breaking the glass in a public lamp, on the 8th of June. Defendant admitted breaking the lamp, stating it was done accidentally, and that he had repaired it at his own expense. £ iie case was adjourned till next sessions. HAVERFORDWEST RIFLE ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of this association commenced on Monday last, under the presidency of J. H. Scourfield, Esq, M.P., Lord Lieutenant of Haverfordwest. The programme contained many valuable prizes, which were well divided, affording a fair chance of success to all classes of shots. There were the usual special prizes, given by the Lord-Lieutenant and Mrs Scourfield, Mrs Philipps, of Picton Castle, Lord Cawdor, and Mr Lort Phillips, who have afforded the most liberal support to che volunteer movement since its commencement. The weather on Monday was fine, and very favourable for rifle shooting, and some good scores were made at the various ranges. The weapon used in all the contests was the Enfield rifle, the ammunition being of Govern- ment issue, which was supplied on the ground at 6d per packet. The targets were the same as at Wimbledon, and the position at 200 yards off the shoulder, and at the jther ranges kneeling.

The shooting was resumed to-day under a scorching sun, which rendered the slightest exertion very disagree- able, and caused a wavy mirage to arise all over the ground extremely dazzling to the eye of the shooter. Owing to the extreme heat and the effect of the mirage. the shooting was not so good as on many former occa- sions. The same influence appears to have been felt at the great national meeting at Wimbledon, where the shooting in the early part of the week was scarcely superior.

Davies with a score of ten marks, com- posed of a bull's eye and two centres. The arrangements throughout the meeting were excel- lent, and much credit is due to the able Secretary, Mr J. R. Phillips, who performed his duties with great ac- curacy, and in a manner which gave satisfaction to all competitors. The marking, considering the difficulties the markers bad frequently to contend with, was very good. The great heat made the duty extremely irksome and fatiguing, but the markers never flagged, and carried on the work with great promptitude from the commence- ment to the close of the'meeting. A large marquee and two circular tents, which were lent to the Association by the War Office, were erected on the ground, and afforded good protection from the heat of the sun. In the marquee, refreshments were pro vided by Mr Owld, confectioner, High Street. The refreshments consisted of edibles and cooling beverages of a harmless character, and besides being of excellt:nt quality, were supplied on the most moderate charges. ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS.

The proclamation against vice and immorality, was then read, after which His Lordship charged the I Grand Juries. In addressing the Grand Jury for the County, Hi§ Lordship said, IRUentlenAeu of the Grand Jury:—I shall detain you but a very few minutes indeed in speaking of the business to be discharged at this assizes. Though I am very happy to see you at- tend in such numbers to discharge any duties that may be cast upon you, as far as I am concerned there are none with which I am acquainted. It may be some- thing may be brought before you when you return to your room, but I have the gratification of telling you that this is the first county I have had the pleasure of visiting as a judge in which I have found no busi- ness of any kind whatever which calls upon me to offer observations to the Grand Jury. It will give me great pleasure to render any assistance if yo.o should require any. I understand your county is entirely free from all crime which requires any bills to be brought before you, as far as I and Mr Vaughan who sits below me, are aware. Gentlemen,—there are two cases for trial, but those are cases in which the bills were found at the last assizes. If these cases had not been left for trial at these assizes, should have the pleasure of telling you that this is in all respects a maiden assize. However, these are to be tried, but unless you hear of some business in your room—I know of none—I expect to see you back again in a short time, when it will be my pleasing duty to discharge you. In addressing the Grand Jury for the Town, ^1S Lordship said,—Gentlemen of the Grand Jury for the Town and County of Haverfordwest,—What I have just said to the gentlemen on my right band I should repeat to you, only that your presence makes it unnecessary I should do so. You heard the observa- tions I made to them. I have one further observation: it is the custom in this county as in others, not to dis- charge the Grand Jury for the town and county untu the rest of the business of the assize is brought to an end, in case something should transpire during the sitting of the Court, to make their services necessary; In a short time, however, from all I hear, I shall have the pleasure to discharge you: at the present time I do not do so, but if nothing should happen be- tween now and about an hour hence, I shall be able to discharge you. UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF NAVAL STORES. James Evans was charged with having in his pas. session a black lead brush, being naval stores belong- ing to Her Majesty the Queen, and marked with the broad arrow, he being a person employed in Her Majesty's service, at St Mary's, in the Borough of Pembroke, on the 19th of October, 1865. Mr Bowen and Mr A. De Rutzen appeared for the prosecution, and Mr T. Allen for the prisoner.' Mr George Parry deposed: I am solicitor to the Admiralty at Pembroke Dock, and conduct this pro- secution on the part of the Admiralty. Joseph Sandford, examined by Mr Bowen member of the Metropolitan Police Force, stationed at Pembroke Dock Yard. On Wednesday, the of October last, I was on duty at the Gate. The prisoner was on that day employed in the dockyard as a messenger. I saw him pass through the gate at ten minutes to five. I saw something bulky in the p*1" soner's breast pocket. I asked him what he had in his pocket: he said, It is a book.' I asked him to take it out. He took out a small book. I asked him to take out what remained. He took out a black lead brush. It has the broad arrow in white hair, but it is stained over. It is in the same state as when I had it from the prisoner he said he was going to take it out to use it a little while: he also said lie was going to put some hairs in it. Mr Wake- ford was present at the last part of the conversation. he said it looked very black against him- artificers are not allowed to pass the gate unti the bell rings. The prisoner was allowed to go 0& when he liked. I gave the brush to Mr Payne. By His Lordship The prisoner would have worK to do with the brushes in the office. W. Wakeford examined by Mr De Rutzen At file o'clock on the day mentioned, I was sent for to the station at the gate.
