L. GOWER, displayed a scene of unparalleled splendour
last night, on the occasion of a play being given by that
distinguished Nobleman, who spoke the prologue. Miss

slature, and received the Royal Assent, the Parliament
will he dissolved, in order to place the new class of voters
in full possession of those suffrages bestowed upon them by
the "great measure."— Essex Standard.
NEW PRANK OF AN ANTI-REFORMER.—
Mr. T. WHITMORE, the late Member for the borough of
Bridgenortb, who voted against the Bill, and was, in con-
sequence, thrown out of its representation by the people,
after having sat for it jointly with his brother, a Refor-
mer, for several Parliaments, has just exhibited his petty
spite in a small, paltry—but, as far as he could go, per-
fectlyh comprehensible—way, by refusing to alblowunit
Bridgenorth races to take place as heretofore
