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.  t r attendanceuil.ii aat cut h i sstehvreoraatl --- .‘,.. . 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 vicinity 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 straightway into a stable belonging to the White Horse Hotel, Cop_ pergate, and with the newlysevering 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.
