OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
rllO-DAY is fixed for the official celebration of Her JL Majesty ' s birthday , the actual anniversary having fallen on the 24 th ult . Of course there will be the usual demonstrations of loyalty ; for , though the clay itself may be set apart for the purpose , there is not in England , as in
some other countries , the slightest necessity for organising any periodical displays of affection for the sovereign who has so long and so ably ruled over us . There will be the nsual parade at the Horso Guards , and a field-day on Woolwich Common , -while in all garrison towns there will certainly
be some kind of military display more or less effective . Then , in the evening , the streets at the West End will be thronged with sightseers , all anxious to see the illuminations . No doubt it will require careful steering to find one ' s -way comfortably along such thoroughfares as
Regentstreet , Bond-street , and Piccadilly . We may reckon that Mr . Pocle , the tailor of Saville-row , will make as brilliant a display as in past years , that the clubs Avill be all ablaze -with light , and indeed generally , that there will be plenty to see , and vast crowds to see it . The different ministers have already issued invitations for the customary banquet

this evening , so that from the highest to the lowest there will be ample opportunity for celebrating the auspicious event . Let na hope the Clerk of the Weather will be reasonably kind , and allow Londoners and their country
cousins to enjoy themselves in their own way . On Thursday last the Prince of Wales returned from his visit to Sir Hastings Doyle . The day following he lunched with the Prince and Princess Christian at Cumberland
Lodge , Windsor Park , dining in the evening with the Baron and Baroness Lionel de Rothschild at their residence in Piccadilly . On Saturday he was present with hia two daughters at the Grand Military Concert at the Royal Albert Hall , in aid of the funds of the Royal
Cambridge Asylum for Soldiers' Widows . On Tuesday , accompanied by Prince Christian , he honoured the Earl and Countess of Wilton with his presence at dinner , and on Wednesday ho was at Epsom , and witnessed the great race of the year , as he has done almost regularly for many
years . The Princess of Wales left Athens on Tuesday morning , accompanied by tho King and Queen of Greece . On reaching Corinth , the latter wero to take farewell , and the Princess was to continue her journey in the Osborne to
Bnndisi , whence she was to travel by ran the greater part of the way home . The Duchess of Edinburgh , is at Cobourg with her children . On Tuesday , Prince Leopold left Balmoral Castle for London , Oxford , and Boyton .
Even wars and rumours of war do not lessen to any appreciable extent the interest which , the general public takes in the Derby . The race itself , perhaps , may not have been as attractive as in some years we remember , but the course was as thronged as ever , amongst the most illustrious of those who witnessed the contest for tho Blue
Riband of the turf being , as we have said , the Prince of Wales , with whom also was Prince Christian . Among others who flocked to the Downs were the Chinese Ambassadors , who probably did not understand the exact nature of the festivities it was their fortune to be spectators of .
The roughness of an English crowd is not likely to commend itself to the grave dignitaries of the Celestial Empire . As regards the race itself , there was a field of seventeen , or two more than the number which ran last year . An excellent start was effected , and a good race ended in favour
of Silvio , a Blair Athol colt , which passed the winning post first , by half a length , Glen Arthur obtaining second place , while Rob Roy was just three quarters of a length behind ,
Rhidorroch losing the honour of a place by a head only . The owner of the winning horso is Lord Falmouth , and this is the second occasion on which his lordship has secured this important prize .
It seldom happens that England has the opportunity of showing hospitality to a more illustrious visitor than General Grant , ex-President of the United States , who reached Liverpool on Monday afternoon , and has since arrived in London , where he will be the guest of the
American Minister , Mr . Pierrpoint . General Grant received his education at West Point , but at the time the Civil War broke out between the Northern and Southern States he did not hold very hig li rank . He soon , however , showed his fitness for important commands , and in time
achieved several important successes , especially the capture of Fort Donnelson and Vicksburg . When McClellan , Hooker , Burnside , Pope , and other Generals were successively beaten in their attempts against General Lee , President Lincoln summoned General Grant to take the
command and after a series of desperate engagements , in which , it is hard to say , whether the stubborn determination of the Federal or the skill of the Confederate were the more admirable , he succeeded in driving the Confederates from their Capital , and thus achieved a decisive
