Death of Mr. Western Wood, P.

We record with deep regret the death of Western
Wood, Esq., member of Parliament for the City of
London. This melancholy event took place at half-
past nine o'clock yesterday morning, at North Cray
Place, Kent, the residence of the lamented gentle-
man. Early in the past week Mr. Wood was at-
tacked by inflimmation of the lungs, and his illness
being accompanied by pleurisy, soon presented such
a complication of symptoms as bAllcd the skill of
his medical attendants, anal rendered his case hope
lees. The deceased was the youngest son of the
late Alderman Sir Matthew 'Wood, Bart., who re-
presented the City in Parliament for twenty-eight
years. The brothers of Mr. Wood are the Rev. Sir
J. Page Wood, the present baronet, and Sir W.
Page Word, the Vice-Chancellor. Mr. Wo,:d was
a magistrate of the county of Kent. He vial re-
turned for the City in 1861, his opponent being
Mr. Cubitt, who was started in the Tory interest.

The contest will be long remembered as one of the
most exciting that ever took place in the City. The
politics of Mr. Wood were decidedly Liberal, as may
be gathered from his electioneering pledge to sup-
port any measures calculated to secure an improve-
ment in the representation of the people, an in3reased
diffusion of education, and an equitable adjuwnent
of the vexed question of church rates. Mr. Wood
was born in London on the 4th of January, 1804,
aid was, consequently, in his sixtieth year. gY
was educated at Winchester College, and in 18'29
married a daughter of John Morris, E-q., a director
of the Ee.st India Company. The issue of this
union, still living, is two sons and three daughters.
By Mr. Wood's death a vacancy occurs in the re-
nreaentation of the City.
