We have authority (says the Morning Post) for stating
that the reported intended marriage of Lord Elphin-
stone, who is now in Scotland, to a young lady of that
country, is without foundation.

for an Exchange, and generally to adopt such measures
as may be considered requisite for the attainment of the
object in view.
LISBURN ELECTION.—The nomination of candidates
for the representation of Lisburn took place on Tues-
day, when the two Messrs. Richardson, the liberal and
the conservative, were severally proposed and seconded.
The friends of Mr.i J. J. Richardson, the liberal candi-
date, are confident of the triumph of their man.
TUSSAUD'S MUSEUM.—This very interesting exhibition
seems to grow daily more popular, if we may judge by
the crowded audiences (Lily who visit the Museum. '
Among the groups which attract much of the attention
of the visitors, is the representation of her Majesty, and
all the members of the Royal Family, who are sur-
rounded by many of the nobility and distinguished per-
sonages. Of these, perhaps, the figure which attracts
most attention at the present time, is the late lamented
Sir Charles James Napier, G.C.8., so well known for
his gallant conduct in India. This is one of the best
likenesses of the whole group, and reflects great credit
on the taste and execution of the Messrs. Tussaud.

SHOEMAKERS' STRIKE IN THE WEST.—A general
movement has been made by the shoemakers in Somerset
and Devon for an advance of wages, in consequence, as
alleged, of the present high rate of provisions. In the
latter county the masters have offered an advance of 121
per cent. upon their former wages, and these terms have
been very generally accepted, thmigh they have been
refused by some. The strike ha's also extended into
Wales, where a rise of 10 per cent. has in several in-
stances been demanded and acceded to by the masters.
