There can be no doubt, therefore, of an abundance of
first-rate and highly-interesting racing, and of a great
attendance.
The arrangements announced by the Brighton and
South -Coast Railway Company reference
with to this
meeting, are unusually comprehensive, and was this
meeting less attractive than we have shown it to be,
would alone ensure a large company.
Express trains will run from the London-bridge sta-
tion each of the race days at nine and ten o'clock A M.,
arriving at Chichester about half-past eleven and half-
past twelve o'clock, respectively; ,returning so as to
arrive in London at or before ten oclock P.M. There
will be also a new feature in the shape of cheap trains
on the Goodwood Stakes and Cup days (Wednesday and
Thursday) offering for the first time to the " masses "
an opportunity of visiting Goodwood for the low fare
starting at 7 A.M., and returning
of 7s. there and back, star .
Spemal trains will leave
from Cnichester at 7.30 P3l.
London-bridge at one o'clock on the Saturday
and Mon- I
day before the races, for the conveyance of horses and
carriages, and on all the race days between Brighton
and Chichester. The company have also determined to
afford similar accommodation to the public duriag the
Brighton meeting, which, strengthened by the formation
of a race club, ou the same plan as the Bibury, bids fair
to be unusually attractive.

. SUICIDE OF A WITNEsS AT .1. tiftic—A. shocking
instance of self-destruction occur.reda!York on Thursday last.
and causing immediate death.
Mr.T.Toutill, a gentleman farming his own estate in the vici-
nity of Ferrybi idge, hada•
clays at York, in connexion with the prosecution of his
brother in .law for forgery. Oa Thursday he purchased a
large knife and made it very sharp. He then went straight-
way into a stable belonging to the White Horse Hotel, Cop_
pergate, and with the newly-
severing the carotid artery,
It appears that his intellect was in a very unsettled state, and
that his brother, anxious for his safety, had accompanied him
to York, and kept a vigilant. watch upon him.
cbqeueied 111
With that
adroitness, however, which frequently. accompanies insanity,
he slipped away from his brother while at the assize court
and when next found he was a corpse. A coroner's jury the
same evening investigated the circumstances of Mr. Toutill's
death, and agreed that he destroyed himself while in a state
of mental iasanity.—.Slielield Times.
