FOREIGN.

Emilio Castelar, once Dictator of Spain, and for fifty years a prominent statesman of that country, has announced his permanent retirement to private life. The Vikingship, which sailed two weeks ago, has been hoard from near the Orkney Islands. She has met with bad weather, and it may be weeks before she reaches America. Queen Victoria has received a parcel of Indian Hill oranges from the Claremont, Cal., Fruit Growers’ Association, and was delighted with their handsome appearance and fine flavor. Most of the fruit arrived in excellent condition, but some of it was damaged in transit. Eighty members of the Anglo-American colony gave a farewell dinner at the Hotel Bristol, at Vienna, Saturday evening, to Frederick D. Grant, the retiring United States minister. A letter was read from Mrs. Grant expressing gratitude for the kindness shown her during her sojourn in Vienna, and Mr. Grant replied at length to the toast proposed to his health.
