WOOD TIM PLDEaTRIAN.

A letter was received in town yesterday from New-
market, stating. that, after the race on Monday,
Weod complained of spasms in his chest, and Dr.
Saunderson, who was called in, tried to take blood
from him, but without effeEt. After some hours,
the letter adds, the pain flay into his head, in which
state he lay on Tuesday, and until seven o'xloci
on Wednesday night, when he died.—Some short
time before his death, Captain Baaclay called
to express his regret.—Wood stretched out his
hand, and smiled faintly, but could not articu-
late. The letter. concludes with saying the body
lies at the Ram Inn, and is to be opened. tVe
have to observe upon this account, that our
Correspondent's letter, and several others received
yesterday, do not mentiiin it, nor was any
account to such effeEt received at any of the
sporting houses, w!.ere we have made inquiry upon
the subji ‘ff. It obtained, h ',sever. much credit last
night. SLIspiCI.MS are entertained that Wood was
poisoned by some persons interested its the result of
the race.

Grrson and Galley were so much cut and beaten,
apprehensions are entertained that they will never
recover the effefts of their late pugilistic contest.
()clamber di►idencla are now paying at England's
great Bank, the door of which is directly opposite

Phlll HSHIRE HUNT.

The annual meeting of tie Hunt commenced on
Wednesday the .70th ult. when the town experienced
an influx of genteel company; among whom we
noticed the Duke of Atholl, the Earl of Mansfield.
Lord James Murray, Lord Kinnaird, the Hon Mr.
Macdonald, Sir Patrick Murray. he. On Thurs.
day and Friday there were hack races, which afford.
ed some sport; but the wetness of the weather pre-
vented that display of company and equipages which •
we have witnessed on former occasions.
A most untoitunata accident happened on Fridays
The scaffold ereaed on the race coarse, for the•. 'I
accommodation of the Steward: of the Hunt. gave
way soon after the horses had started; and all the
speaatces upon. it. among whom were his Grace
the Duke of Atholl, and some other persnr.s of di..
tinaion, were precipitated to the ground. A scene
of great confesion was exhibited for &erne minutes;
but we are happy to state, that only two persons
ware seriously hurt. We ur.derstand the gentry of
the Hunt enllefted aLove 241. the urns evening for
the relief of the sufferers.
Balls were held in the Glover's Hall, en Wesie
nesday, Therrlay, and Friday matey, which
were well aueudei.
