TIENTSIN.
Undor dato November 23rd, the cor- respondent of the Shanghai Courier writes as follows:-The Viceroy ra- turned from Pekingon the evening of the 13th inst., and if Chinose Mr. A. E. Hippisley, Commissioner rumors are to be believed, he is more powerful than ever. The hon of Customs, arrived yesterday in the steamer Hajtoong from Tamsui on his ours he received in Peking on his way to Wonchow, having been relieve-arrival, and during his visit at the Ca- ed by Mr. W.

A small busi ness has boon done in Union Insurance stock at 1,600, a reduction of 25 on previous quotation, and Chinn Traders' ahares are offered at 1,550 without finding purchasorg. Hongkong Fires, on the other hand, are rather firmer, buyers now vainly offering 925, whorena sollers have ruled the market recently, the stock failing to find favor at 920. No cash business in Docks has to be reported, although there are still sellers at 33 per cent. premium.

Proparing for the gigantic settle thents due at the end of the year, has evi- dently led to what can only be described as a complete stagnation, in all business con- nected with local concerns.
