SUICIDE THRODOIILOMIZA IN SPORTING HwEEr6.—
Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, a young men hired a cab,
No. 1,310, as the stand in Oxford-street, end directed to be
driven to No. 6, linffulkotreet, Pall-mall. As the cab wu
turning frets the Circus into Piccadilly, the driver heard a
slight report inside which be thought was from the opeoinv
of a hues of soda water. He took no particular notice of
the sound, but drove to the place directed, which roved to
be Mr. Cook's, tailor to her Idefeety. The driver opened
the door to let his fare out, when he found. him lying back on
the seat weltering in Lis blood, and a large holster pistol,
which had been recently. discherged, elm to his light hand.
Mr. Cook recognised the deceased as his foreman. The young
men, whose nun was Norman Howsrd, was conveyed to the
Charing. cross Hospital, but was found to be quite dead. It
is supposed that the deceased committed suicide in conse-
quence of loan in several of the spurting lotteries. His
employer haring been lately out of town, deceased had the
whole management of the basses., and it has already been
learnt that he received sums of mosey and lost them, of
which he had rendered no account.

THE OXFORD CHAIR OF MODERN HISTORY.--
read in your paper of the 18th ins'., under the head
of" University Intelligence," that the Rev. Dr. Wellesley
and the Rev. W. H. Cox are talked of as likely to obtain the
Regius Professorship of Mikan History at Oxford, vacant i
by the death of Dr. Cramer. Au such notices are calculated i
to lead the mind of the pas' lio towards particular candidates
they are rather unfair t swards others who are in the field for I
the same appointment, and as I am satisfied from the high
character of your paper that no injustice towards another •
candidate was contemplated, and as meet probably you were I
not aware that any. other candidate was in the bald, I deem
it but an act of Justice towards yourself to call your attcn-
Um to the claims of the lies. Dr. Giles, who, r well as Dr. ,
Wellesley and Mr. Cox, aspires to the honour of succeeding
to the vacancy occasioned by Dr. Cramer's death. Without ,
intending the slightest disparagement to any other coals
date, the friends of Dr. Giles are naturally desirous that the ;
attention of her Majesty's government should be invited to
these claims which maths result of fifteen years' intense and
unremitting labour in the study of modern history, feeling ,
assured that if the most profound knowledge of the subjects ;
connected with the profericeship be the qualification for the
oak*, the test by which the recommendation to her Majesty
will be governed, Dr. Ciihs is fairly entitled to compete with
107 one, end to entertain just hopes of success. The claims
of Dr. Giles, and I have them before me, are : The History
of the Aron= Britons, 2 vo!s. ; Life and Lettere of Thomas
I Becket, I vols. ; Lik and Tunes of Alfred the Great (in
the piess). He has besides edited Adheim's works ; the ,
Venerable Bede's works, 12 vols. • Bcriptorea Rena Oes•
taros Willelmi Conquestoris ; Linfranc's works, 2 vols.

Monmouth's works ,• Chrenicon Anglia retrain:Too ;

sen de Beloario. The above are in Latin, the following in
English: Bede's Beeleaketical History and the Anglo-Saxon
Chronicle; Six old Chronicles, containing lithrlwerd'a

amortise that Dr. Giles is entitled to compete with any man
far the prefeasoeship of history. I have only to add that I
have written peratatly unanthorkedly and without Dr.
GlesY knowledge, and under the Impression that when the
claims et others were alluded to in Tour journal his should
not he overlooked. If I have acted imprudently, sad have

nied. At his own suggestion Lattimore made a depo-
sition before a magistrate the day Mewing his arrest, in
consequence of which deposition I ed Wrigley and
Parker. Radcliffe was committed-i Kirkdale some time
since. He was brought to Ashton yesterday, and when
charged with the murder, said he bad nothing to say, and
Constantine made the same reply. I now produce Bright's '
clothes. I saw all the man turn out on the night of the
murder. In consequence of information I received from
Thomas Winterbottom, Imam to the sizing-house in Dukin-
field. I found 71 lolls then, some of them made up
in cardidges, among some bricks. I also found a gun there,
and a fusee, similar to that produced by a former witness.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hasa Winterhottom was &pyre.
handed under a bench warrant. Ido not think lem bound
to say whether I have had the Witatlfell at my house or not;
they gave their evidence voluntarily; they had no promise
for giving tvidenee; they might have seen the placard offer-
ing • reward ins the apprehension of Bright's murderer. I
gave no direction that it. should be shown them. The pri-
soners have not bons placed shogether. Ido not believe any
other effacer has offered them a reward for entrapping the
prisoners.
This concluded the case foe the prosecution.
Mr. liaison then addressed the bench on behalf of all the
prisoners, except Radcliffe and Kenworthy. He said none of
these had been directly sworn to be implicated in the mur-
der k and if they had, the witnesses were hardly to be
credited, for they were all partial)* crintinia in the matter,
and had no doubt come forward with the view of shielding
themselves from punishment, and obtaining the reward
offered by the authorities.
Mr. De Lars, on behalf of Kenworthy, contended that
the unsupported evidence of Lattimore—undoubtedly an ac-
complice of the conspiratore—was not sufficient to justify the
commitment of his client And even if he had given what
he believed correct evidence, the darkness on the night of the
'nuttier might have caused him to be mistaken as to Ken-
worthy's identity. He would, however, only apply for
bail, which he thought the magistrates could not refuse.

Mr. Brooks, on behalf of Radcliffe, pointed out some dis-
crepancies in the evidence, and contended that the vaulty
of the approvets ought not to be relied on.

At a quarter to seven the mAgistrates retired to consider
their decision, and returned in about three quarters of an
hour. Radcliffe, Constantine, Kinworthy, and Walker,
were committed as principals in the murder ; Winterbottom
as accessary after the fact; Stott as memory before it; and
Taster and Sefton for unlawfully assembling, rioting, and
being drilled. It was stated that bail would be accepted fur
the two latter, in two sureties in MI. each, and their own re.
cognisance, at 1001.—Edwards and Lee were remanded.
