[special fob g-eeville's telegeaph COMPANY.] London, No?. 256. Consols, 92f ; New South Wales Pebentures, 5 per cent., 102 ; South Australian 6 per cent., Ill; Victorian 6 per cent, 115 ; Victorian 5 per cent., 103. The wool market is rather firmer. A large speculative business is being done in tallow. Wheat is three shillings per quarter higher. London, Nov. 29. The Times publishes Earl Granville's reply to Prince Gortschakoff; it is firm and decided, and intimates that verbal claims will be met by protests, but acts violating the treaty must be met by acts of repression. England's attitude being clearly defence, she can afford to discuss at the proposed conference, but the withdrawal of the Russian circular is necessary. News has been received from Shanghai to 18th Oct., from which it appears that no sufficient and sincere attempt has been made by the Chinese officials to punish the perpetrators of the horrible outrages at Tientsien where so many French missionaries and Sisters of Mercy were killed. Fifteen alleged assistants have been beheaded, but the chiefs of the riot have not been punished. From Hong Kong, on the 25th Oct., we learn that the Hong Kong and Shanghai Ocean Cable has been laid for a length of forty miles. A rupture had occurred at Japan between the French and Prussian Ministers to that Court, the Mikado attempted to enforce neutrality and was aided by the English and American Ministers. The B&tavia and Singapore section of the British Indian Extension Cable was laid on the 14th November. 1 '. ; ! BE
