THE LOST COMMISSION.

:•-,--The Royal Assent was to have been given by Com-
-mission yesterday afternoon to the Consolidated Fund
Bill and various other Bills. At half-past
four the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Duke of Buccleugh, and Lord
Who:melitre, the intended Commissioners, were
at the House of Peers in their robes. The
Throne was uncovered. The Black Rod was in waiting.
The Speaker of the House of Commons was on the
tiptoe of expectation, and everything was prepared,
save the Commission itself. Search was made for it.
It was nowhere to be found. It had " got into the
wrong box"—or at all events it was not in the right one.
Inquiries after it were in vain. The return to all such was
non est inventus ; consequently the Consolidated Fund
Bill is the Consolidated Fund Bill still, and their Lord-
ships will have to meet this afternoon, in order that it
mly become law before Easter.

MR. EDNEY'S ANNUAL CONCERT.

_ - -
This concert was delivered on Monday night to a numerous
and resrectable audience, at the Music-ball, Store-street.
Miss Rainforth's tame need only be mentioned, to say that she
was the charmer of the night. Her cavatina of " Peace in-
viting" was sung with that degree of ornate and beautiful pro-
priety which so distinguidics whatever she undertakes. The
pianoforte was touched twice in the evening by Miss Lewellin,
and Mater A. Toulman ; the latter possesses great soft-
ness of touch ; he runs over the keys with a velvet
hand, and will, no doubt, make a fine-fingered master ;
the former lady ". executed her " fantasia" with rapid-
ity and skill, but her style of expression is, as yet,
somewhat rigid, and requires to be more softened and modu-
lated, a desideratum which further practice will easily effect.
Mr. Robinson, who gave " The Kiss" and " Wake, lady,
wake," dispatched those light love-lists with due nicety and
daintiness. The two Misses Pyne performed a creditable duet :
much of what may be r:ghtly termed mellifluence exists in Miss
L. Pyne's voice. Miss Dolby sustained her voice well in the
difficult Italian duet " Fiero incontru," v, ith Miss Rainforth.
Mr. Edney's " Country commissions from Laura May," and
other whimsical and fantastic songs which he gave, provoked an
immense deal of laughter, and were abundantly repaid with
plaudits.

ELECTON COMMITTEES.
WEYMOUTH AND 3IELCOMBE REGIS.
The argument on Ludlow's case being concluded, the vote
was kept on.•
The vote of Mr. ITyc, also objected to, was retained on the
petitioner's poll: This exhausted Class No. I.
Joseph C. Rodwell was objected to by the sitting Member,
and the petitioners gave up the voto.
The vote of Wm. Hellyar,
.for the sitting Member was
struck out.

The vine of John Sally (on the same side) was also objected
to. He had left the premises out of which he voted, but he
still occupied them until the election " by means of a ladder"
—(Laughter)—which he thought would satisfy the law as oc-
cupation enough.

Mr. GURNIf brought evidence to show that Daily, a baker
and mealman, did keep h;s stock in the house he had left, and
th n quoted from the judgment of Lords Denman and Cole-
ridge, that a man might occu 3y by bales of goods.
Mr. Coercuun N contended against this construction.
The vote% as not decided when the Speaker went to prayers.
The result of the scrutiny is that there have been struck off
the sitting Members' poll, 23 ; and off the petitioners' pull, 16.
The petitioners have a majority of one each.
