GOODWOOD RACES.

The number and great length of the engagements for
the ensuing meeting puts it out of our power to give
more than a brief outline of the programme, from which,
however, enough will be collected to show the brilliant
character of the sport t) be anticipated. The first day
(Tuesday next) promises nine races, of which three have
yet to be entered for—viz., the Craven Stakes (for the
first time a handicap), with 50 added; the Innkeepers'
Plato and the Bognor Stakes, the latter fur gentlemen
riders. The standing engagements are the Gratwicke
Stakes, 100 sovs. each, h ft, fur three yrs old, 38 subs;
the Ham Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h fc, for two yrs old,
38 subs; the Levant Stakes of 50 soya. each, 30 ft, for
two yrs old, 16 subs; the Three Hundred Sovereigns
Stakes, h ft, for four yrs old, 12 subs (a certainty for the
Flying Dutchman); a Post Sweepstakes of 300 soya. each,
h ft, for two yrs old, 3 subs; and a Match for 100, h ft,

Selling Sweeepstakes of 10 toys. each, with 50 added,
the M,,:mbers' Plate, and the Cowdray Stakes, all of
which have yet to be named for.

On the great day, Thursday, we have a prospect of
not less than eleven races, of which four have yet to
close—namely, the Duke of Richmond's Plato of 1001. ;
the Anglesey Plate of 501., for gentlemen riders; a
Selling Handicap Plate of 501; and a selling Sweep-
stakes of 10 says. each, h ft, with 50 added. The closed
engagements are the Cup, twenty-three subs; the Mole-
comb Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h fr, for two yrs old, fif-

stakes of 200 sovs. each, for two yrs old fillies, three
subs; and a Slatck for 200, h ft, between Claymore and
Mimosa.

The fourth and last day will furnish seven or eight,
and probably nine, reces, Vireo of which, the Queen's
Plate, a Sweepstake; of 10 sous. each, and the March
Stakes (in one heat) have yet to be named for. The
stakes which have closed are the Settringtun Stakes, of
25 sous, each, 10 ft, for two yrs old, 17 subs; the Rich-
mond Stakes, of 25 sous. each, 10 ft, for three yrs old,
28 subs; the Nassau Stakes, of 50 sous. each, for three

yrs old fillies, 16 subs; a Sweepstakes of 200 sovs. each,

Stakes, of 15 soya each, 5 ft, with 200 added, for two yrs
old, 35 subs; and the Chesterfield Cup, by subscription
of 15 sous. each, 32 subs. Allowing. for forfeits, the
priz?s to be run for will amount to upwards of 16,0001.,
including about 1,1001., public money.
There can be no doubt, therefore, of an abundance of
first-rate and highly-interesting razing, and of a great
attendance.
The arrangements_ announced by the Brighton and
South Coast Railway Company with reference 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 at.,
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 o'clock 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 fcr the low fare
of 7s. there and back, starting at 7 A.M., and' returning
from Chichester at 7.30 a' as. Special trains will leave
London-bridge at one o'clock on the Saturday and Mon-
day before the races, for the conveyanco 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 during the
Brighton meeting, which, strengthened by the formation
of a rote club, ou the same plan as the Bibury, bids fair
to be unusually attractive.

SUICIDE OF A WITNESS AT YORK.—A shocking
instance of self-destruction occurred at York on Thursday last.
Mr.T.Toutill, a gentleman farming his own estate in the vici-
nity of Ferrybridge, had been in attendance several
days at . York, in connexion with the prosecution of his
brother in -law for forgery. On 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-acquired instrument cut his throat
severing the carotid artery, and causing immediate death.
It appears that his intellect was in a very unsettled state, and
that his brother, anxious for his safety, had accompanied bun
to York, and kept a vigilant watch upon him. With that
adroibness, 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 jary the
same evening investigated the circumstances of Mr. Toutill's
death, and agreed that he destroyed himself while n a state
of mental insanity.—Slidfield Times.

meet Comraitt,, and the motion and ramendarent sub-

The paper contained notices of several other public
questions.
