BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY.

We had a goodly meeting of subscribers to-day, most of
the members who had been at Newmarket putting in an
appearance. The betting on the Cesarewitch underwent
a little change. Conscript, upon the opening of the rooms,
advanced to 16 to 1 (taken) ; towards the break-up, how-
ever, Barabbas and Optimist came with a rush, 14 to 1 was
taken about the former, and 16 to 1 accepted about the
latter. Starke, Rocket, IVeatherbound, and Feodorowna
seem to be sent to the " right about." The amount of
business done was hardly commensurate with the numbers
present. Closing prices :—.

EXTRAORDINARY RACE —CRSAREWITCH STARES.—
YOUATT WILLIAM GRAY'S advice on this race reveals all
the mysteries connected with this extraordinary event. No
previous contest for this or any other great event ever mys-
tified the racing public more than the betting on the present
Cesarewitch Stakes. 20 to lon the field nine days before
the race is to many a puzzler. A horse now at 3)to 1
ought, but will be at 8 to 1 before the word " go " is sure to
win. He has kept an eye on every move while at New-
market, but in spite of all dodging is not to be cheated.
Pitman has already tried one, Tame Deer has gone to try
another, Master Bagot a third, and the fourth, and
very likely the winner. Remember, nothing could stall
me off St. Albans for the St. Leger, and come what may I
shall remain staunch to the helm, with the confidence of
bringing my friend's investments to a profitable and victo-
rious issue. Cambridgeshire Stakes, a horse at 100 to lis
sure to win by half a distance. Terms, to the end of the
season, 7s. 6d ; all races up to and including the Cam-
bridgeshire Stakes, ss. ; the two great events, 2s. 6d. Ad-
dress, 15, Charing-cross. N.B.—A liberal per centage is
expected on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. Take
the double event, £l,OOO to £1 can be obtained.

MELANVHOLY SUICIDE OF A
CLE.RG rilf-A.N:

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr.
F. Langham, deputy coroner for Westminster, is
the vestry-room of St. George's, Mount-street,
Grosvenor-square, on the body of the Rev. Edward
Cobbold, aged 62, a clergyman of the Church of
England, and brother to the rector of Wortham,
Suffolk, who committed suicide at Thomas's Hotel,
Dover-street, Piccadilly, by nearly severing his
head from his body with a razor.
John Chevalier Cobbold, banker and merchant,
of Ipswich, stated that deceased was his nephew,
and for some time past had occupied apartments at
No. 7, Earl's-court, Kensington. On Thursday
morning last deceased came down to Ipswich by
train, when he observed that he was materially
altered in appearance, very desponding and low-
spirited, and, in answer to witness, he said he had
suffered from repeated attacks of giddiness and
paralysis. He was a married man, but his domea-
tic and pecuniary affairs were such as to cause him
great uneasiness of mind, more especially as he was
of a very excitable and sensitive disposition. He
returned to town the same day. Witness never
heard him threaten to destroy himself.
Betsy Thatcher, housemaid at the hotel, deposed
that deceased came there about half-past four
o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and entering the
coffee room ordered dinner. In the evening, between
seven and eight o'clock, he retired to the bedroom
he was to occupy, going up stairs in a very hurried
and excited manner. On the following day, at
12 o'clock, she noticed drops of blood falling from
the ceiling of the room under deceased's, and he
not having been seen, the head waiter called in a
policeman, when, on the door being forced open, de-
ceased was found dead.
Thomas Mackney, head waiter and manager of
the hotel, stated that, on entering that room, de-
ceased was discovered on his stomach on the floor,
in a pool of blood, which had flowed from a fright-
ful wound in his throat. He was quite dead and
cold, and had an open razor firmly clenched in his
right hand.
Police-constable 324 A produced property found
in deceased's possession, consisting of £BO in bank
notes, some silver and copper moneys, and two me-
morandums, as follows :—" Ask Alfred for Miet's
dividends for distribution, and the £2,000, &c.,
&c." " Should Ibe found dead of apoplexy or pa-
ralysis send to my brother, the Rev. Richard Cob-
bold, Wortham, Suffolk."
The first witness identified the writing as that of
deceased, whose life was insured for £2,000, as well
as for £6,000.
Mr. Bloxam, jun., surgeon, having said that the
wound must have caused almost instant death from
loss of blood, a verdict was returned of temporary
insanity-.
