LONDON.
June 7. The homeward mails via San Francisco were delivered to-day. Consols, 97£. At a Conservative meeting at Bury the First Lord of the Admiralty absolutely denied that there was any difference of opinion between the British and French Governments in reference to the Egyptian question. He said they condemned the policy of the Khedive, but England and France had resolved, notwithstanding, to act quietly and safely without participation. News from Capetown to May 19, states that Cetewayo had made proposals for peace, but that the negotiations have failed in consequence of the refusal by the British authorities of any terms but unconditional surrender. It is believed that Cetewayo and his whole forces are at Lower Tugela. The wool market is strong, with a hardening tendency. There is to be a new trial in the celebrated Bagol will case. England and France have finally declined to interfere in the administration of the Egyptian Government, but the British Oonsul-General at Cairo has energetically protested against the arbitrary proceedings of the Khedive. June 9. Wool market very active.
