TBOJBTOXIAPSCIO .-.-?? --- Foreign Hew*. LONDON, Jaioe 29. - The Star, com? menting on the reported departure of Ryan's expedition for Oohs, brings the circumstance to bear upon the claims now pending between the United States and Great Britain. It says: "We are interested in the conduct of the United States Government in this matter. America now stands iu relation to Coba exaotly as England did in relation to the Southern Confederacy. Uer neutrality laws must be thoroughly and effectively enforced, or she will lose the hold she hos gained on public opinion, which insures a fair consideration of Alabama claims. The Alabama escaped unarmed, with on ordinary merchantman's crew on board, and we are justly held to hnve incurred a high degree of responsibility for the consequences. The departure of a party of 800 men from Now York, as far as can be judged from present accounts, ap? pears to be on infraction of tho neutral? ity laws just as flagrant ns the escape of the Alabama, and one which could have been much more easily prevented." DUBLIN, Jone 29.-At the meeting held last night to urge upon Government the release of the Fenian prisoners, 4,000 ficoplo wen present. Butt, a prominent awyer, said the motto of nil true Irish? men ought to be, "Bide your time; put your trust in God, aud keep your pow? der dry." If the British Goverument persisted in keeping these men incar? cerated, all its professions of conciliation would be useless. Williams, of Dungar? von, declared the Feniaa prisoners would not accept mercy. They demand? ed justioe from ministers. If the latter refused it, let blood be apon their own heads. He would not, however, advo? cate a resort to the sword, for that doc? trine was out of time. BURST, July 2.-No communication with the Great Eastern since Wednes? day. LONDON, July 2.-Advices fror-? the coast of Africa report the arrival at Fer? nando Po of 250 political prisoners from Havana. The dis-eetablishmeni bill is progress? ing through the Lords. The Ministry ?r omises to insert a clause whereby the rish Bishops may retain their seats in the Lords. Advices from Ascuncion are to tho 14th of May. The Allied forces had com? menced their march into the interior. They captured many prisoners on the way, and took the town of Yolluy by surprise. The Paraguayans had aban? doned-their position at Patinhocne. MADRID, July 2.-Tho Cortes bas passed the Revenue Budget and author? ized the Government to expend any sums necessary. The contemplated changes in tho Mi? nistry have been postponed until the budget of expenditures, now before the Cortes, is adopted. PARIS, Joly 2.-The third party iu tho Corps L?gislatif propose mensures grant? ing the people a more intimate associa? tion with the direction of affairs. Tribute to the Confederate Dead. GETTTSBURQ, July 2.-Gen. Meade, in his speeoh, urges decent burial for the Confederates. Norton, tho orator of tho day, speaking of Cuba, says: "She is making a bold, vigorous and, ns we trust, a successful effort to throw off the Spa? nish yoke and establish her indepen? dence." He also said: "In tho fields before us are the graves of tho rebel dead, now sunk to the level of the plain -unmarked, unhonored and unknown. They wore onr countrymen-of our blood, language and history. They dis? played a courage worthy of their coun? try and of a better cause, and wo may drop a tear to their memory. The news of this fatal field carried agony to thou? sands of Southern homes, and tho wail of despair was heard in tho everglades and orange groves of the South." Washington Ncwi. WASHINGTON, July 2.-Internal reve? nue receipts to-day ?125,000. The Brazilian Minister has received a despatch, announcing that Lopez has proposed, through Mr. McMahon, to surrender his army on a guarantee of personal safety. Customs receipts from 21st to 30th June, inclusive, over $4,000,000. Ex-President Johuson departed home? ward to-day, and will canvass Tennessee in support of Souter. President Grant, in an interview with Clift, Edwards and other Georgians, said: "Having made appointments for the Augusta and M.?con post offices, I was indisposed to ?hange them until the incumbents proved incompetent." Dur? ing this interview, Grout gavo no indica? tion that ho was considering the political status of Georgia. Secretary Boutwell decides that goods seized which cannot bo held for tho ex? pense of seizure and tax, must be stored subject to future action of Congress. Domestic Newt. NEW YORK, July 2.-Puerto Principe advices to tho 22d ult., represent the condition of the Spanish troops us dread? ful. Tho hospitals are full, aud ten deaths occur daily. A foraging party of 150 strong were driven into tho city, forty of whom went to tho hospitals. Tho Cubans captured 100 regulars at tho first station from Puerto Principe. Ono regiment of volunteers has 200 sick. Quesada, who is in tho vicinity of tho Spaniards, attributes his success to the acquisition of fillibusters, and states that 40,000 moro troops are necessary. Tho Spanish garrison is disheartened. An American, named Speakman, of tho Grapeshot fillibusters, was shot at San? tiago. , The American asked for delay in? effectually.

A large crowd bad congregated at the gate of the bridge, leading to tho iniuuil-Lo?ug lu i> l ni" i ! io bridge by tho police. Col. Branch, who wns manag? ing the affair, while standing on the bridge, directed the police to admit tho crowd, which hoing done, tho weight broke the nt root ure, precipitating o num? ber into tho water. Col. Branch, Police? man Kirkham and Robert Ashley were caught in tho falling timber and killed; seven others were wounded, two of whom will die. Branch's body iras followed to his resideuce by a procession of promi? nent citizens, and tho police force iu a body escorted Kirkham's remaios to bis horne. Branch was one of the first busi? ness men of this oity. A general gloom prevails here iu consequence of tbe ca? lamity. Coban AfTrlra. WASHINGTON, J-ily 2.-The Cubans here have the following advices: After the Spaniards were repulsed in the Cinco Villas District, they were reinforced by 2,000 troops, making the Spanish forces double the Cubans, compelling tho latter to retreat. Eighty-five Cubans, includ? ing several Americans, wero captured, whom Lesea shot. Nearly all tbe largo plantations in the Cinco Villas District have beon destroyed. It is stated that the Cubans are concentrating to fight Lesea, aud news of a decisive battle is daily expected. The Cubans are uneasy at not hearing from Jordan. HAVANA, July 2.-The Catalan volun? teers, who were guarding tho Nuevitas Railroad, mutinied. Their colonel was arrested by Letona, commanding at Puerto Principe. The volunteers marched on Paerto Principo, rescued their colo? nel and imprisoned Letona, who will probably be shot Rodas, in a public speech to-day, ad? vised tho journalists to show more mode? ration, endeavor to conciliate all classes and cease tho publication of irritating articles, especially regarding ladies.

Ryan. The Herald says at iast the finale nf the great iii fi blistering expedition has been reached, and it? failure is absolute as its results are dangerous. The Cuban prisouers transferred to tho Catharine Whiting, expect to bc released this evening. The majority of them aro native Cubans. Senor Alferto and Doctor Brozoro have been lodged in Ludlow Street Jail. It is thought that Ryan and his men are now prisoners, ns a roven no cutter has been sent to Gardner's Island, with a folly armed crow aud posse. The Marshal's report says that they quarreled among them? selves; three were killed and several wounded in a freo fight yesterday. FRANCE.-The New York Herald be? lieves France is on the eve of a crisis, and Napoleon in danger. It thinks Napoleon's idea of "reconciling strong1 power with sincerely liberal institutions" is incom? patible with the continuuncu of tho one man power. It sccs souio hope for the Emperor in tho second elections, the re? sults of which aro now known to ns, but does not think that the men elected on this second test of French eeutiincnt, make his position moro secure than it was before. True, the Liberal mn jori ty is somewhat reduced, but still tbs Libe? rals have eighty members. It says: Tho Empire began with u majority of 7,000,000 of votes; it has now barely 800,000 moro than tho opposition; and wheu tho Government machinery for colliding ami securing votes is taken into account, tbe 800,000 may bo taken at a discount. ****** Tho loud and emphatic expression of popular sentiment in Franco would be leas alarming, and, of course, less de 8orviug of attention, if such expies; ?on of popular sentiment wero confined tr Franco alone. But it is not so. 'foe pooplo have mado themselves virtually tho masters of tho situation in Germany, in Austria, in Spain, and they aro now hopefully fighting for the mastery in Groat Britain. Italy, according to late accounts, is in serious trouble, and the party of action aro with difficulty kept down.

Farmeii' Itcini. A check or suspension in tbe growth, of tv pig at airy time in its life is a heavy rosa to the owoor. Nothing ia better in summer for young pigs than rich, undi? luted sour milk, fed regularly in uniform quantities, with added corn or barley meal, to make up any deficiency. Clo? ver out and thrown into the neat and clean pen, in addition to the milk and meal, is excellent, but hogs that run over a large clover field will not fatten or grow so fast. Experience is strongly in favor of good and thorough cultivation of the Boil, es? pecially for the first years of orchards. Good treatment of this kind bas afforded large, high-flavored fruit; while neglect? ed orchards, or those io grass, give small, scabby, and poor crops. Wo do not recommend excessive manuring, but clean mellow culture, particularly during the earlier part of the season, with a soil of fair fertility and with a good natural or artificial drainage. There aro many varieties of tho whito bean, mostly well adapted to field cul? ture. If the seed boons now used wero raised last year, they will bo fresh, good, and will germinate well; if more than two years old, it would bo better to uso them for some other purpose. The ground should bo well prepared, well harrowed, clear of weeds aud mellow. The seed is to be planted like corn, an inch or two in depth, but two or three times as thick-say twico as thick as Northern norn, and throe times as thick as Southern. If planted with a drill or corn planter, they may bo in rows three feot apart, and about three inches apart in the row; if in bills, tho hills may be fifteen or twenty inches apart in tho row. If planted by hand, they ate dropped and covered ns commou corn, and buried to tho sarao depth. After the crop is up, it should be kept clean and well culti? vated, taking care not to do the work when the leaves aro wet with dew or rain, avoiding throwing earth or dust ou the leaves, aud bruising or twisting the plants. Beaus are usually planted about lue samo time us corn, but as they ripen in much less time, they have succeeded when put in as lato as mid-summer, when the soil is moist enough to sprout them. The yield is variable-sometimes as high as forty bushels per acre, but more commonly fifteen or twenty, while badly managed crops have not given five bushels. Of the hundreds of diff?rent natural orders of tho vegetable kingdow not one seems more friendly and beautiful, as well as necessary to man, tbnn the Rosa? cea), or rose family-of which tho every? where abounding strawberry ii tho earli? est in bloom, and perhaps the hardiest member. This large family includes those common and indispensable fruits, the apple, pear, quince, cherry, peach, plum, apricot, otc.-the wholesome ear? lier and smaller fruits, the strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, in all their varieties-all the species and endless va? rieties of the rose, and such ornamental plants as the Spirraas, wild and cultivat? ed, the sweetbrier, the handsome flower? ing thorns and almonds, the mountain ash, and such humble plants as agrimo? ny, cinquo-foil, (Potentilla,) avens, and other modest inhabitants of tho fields and woods. All these cluster immediate? ly around their royul mistress, the Rose, i aud claim the respect duo to their kin? ship with her, and we must admit that it is a most respectable and worthy floral aristocracy. Of a total of not less tbau a thousand species, not one contains any poisonous or unwholesome element, with the single well-known exception of the existence of prussic acid in the kernels of the almond, peach, etc. The modes of pucking eggs are various, but nil iuclude tho all-essential requisite of placing and keeping the eggs on end -the smaller cud down commonly pre? ferred. Keeping them cool and at a uni? form temperature is the next important requisite. Packing them in salt main? tains them in position, and in a dry cellar preserves coolness. Charcoal powder is also good for packing, but more difficult to obtain in largo quantities. Silted ashes would probably do well. Saw-dust is liable to beat, unless previously baked or well dried. Fine chaff would bo con? venient. Some prefer first to immerse the eggs in boiling water for a minute, to cook and thicken tho exterior; others grease them all over with melted mutton suet before packing. S. A. Ladd, in the Journal of Horticul? ture, destroys tho apple borer when he is in tho tree too far to be reached with tho point of a knife or wire, in this way: Take a piece of half-inch lead pipe, say three feet long; bend one end to nearly right angles and fit to tho borer's bolo, tho main length of the pipo standing per? pendicular: plnco a funnel in the top cud and fill tho pipe with boiling water; tho borer will soon bo dead, while the ten? derest treo will not bo injured by the process. Swelled jaws in sheep eau bo effectual? ly cured by rubbing tho inside of tho jaw und mouth with a mixtn?e mailo of alum and salt, equal parts of each. A friend who hos traveled in Germany reports tho following incident, for which ho vonches: During tho summer, Dr. J. C. Ayer spent somo weeks at Dresden, in conference with thc chemists of Central Europe, where bo was heralded as the inventor of tho world-renowned medi? cines that bear kia numo, and considered one of tho American celebrities. While riding, one day, bis open carriage fell in with tho cortego of tho King of Saxony, on a drivo from the roview. Ike Ducker soon became tho chief attraction, and received tho mnrked attention of tho peoplo, who were oven moro demonstra? tive in their courtesies to him than to the King himself, whom they soo so constantly. King John, observing this, wrapped his military clouk around him and reclined upon his seat, while our great American medicine man did the honors for thc royal retinue, graciously bowing, lint in hand, on every side, until wearied by his excessive condescen? sion to this old monarch's people. THEY ARE COMINO.-We were pleased to notice, a (aw days ?go, a number of Englishmen and others, gentlemen of capital, on oar streets in search of land, with a view to parchase and settle in the District. We understand that these gen? tlemen have id contemplation the pur? chase of severs! tracts of land, nnd " ill introduce the Chinese laborers to culti? vate the Boil. We hope they will succeed in their object. The lands of Marlboro are rich, and can be bought compara? tively cheap.
