HER IVIAJEST Y'S BIRT 11-4)AY.
GRAND INSPECTION O 1 TROOPS.
To-morrow being set apart for the celebration of the natal-
day of her Majesty, there will be, according to custom, a
parade inspection of troops on the parade-ground, Horse
‘xuards ; and should the weather continue propitious, the
ePectacle on this occasion will certainly exceed those of many
Years back in point of military grandeur, it being confidently
elPecNd that his Excellency Ibrahim Pacha, will honour the
icrOtind with his presence; but this will, of course, depend
Solely on the illustrious foreigner's present arrangements.
Orders have been issued for an assemblage of the troops at
half-past nine o'clock. They will comprise the flank com-
panies of the battalions of the household troops in London,
Including two, or perhaps more, troops of the Life and Horse
Guards, and the companies for public duty, making in all
nearly 1,400, which, however, will also comprise those keep-
ing the ground. On the Commander-in-Chief arriving, he
Will receive the Field-Marshal's salute, and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, in addition, that usually given to mem-
bers of the Royal Family. The cavalcade will likewise con-
Shit of the Adjutant-General, Quartermaster-General, the
aides-de-carnp to the Commander-in-Chief, the commanding
officers of each battalion, and a host of general officers. A
line will of course be formed all round.

SPORTING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sra,—The racing at Manchester has borne out my predic-
tion pretty nearly to the letter. I named the winners of five
Stakes, the first and second in two instances—.tolerable suc-
Ascfor one meeting. Now for the aristocratic gathering on
scot-heath, which commences to-morrow. The bill of fare
hs better this year than it ever was before, a very good stake
ixti? added by the Great Western Railway directors. The
gh-mottled racers there, en route, or going, amount to the
very large number of 140, or thereabouts. So we may reason-
abli expect to have four days good sport on the dusty Heath.
On Tuesday the First Class Ascot Stakes will have either
sin or seven starters. The Marquis of Conyngham or In-
beritress I-4r my cash.
Sal The Second Class Ascot Stakes, I opine, will go to Lord
fr,un or Jenny Wren, seven starting.
„The Queen's Vase, I fancy, will go to the Peri colt or Wood
rlgeon—Griraston cannot get the distance, and Wolfdog will not start.
The Ascot Derby Stakes seem madefor Joy or St. Demetri.
The 100 sovs. stakes will furnish a field of third-rates, six
in number, with Binnacle for winner, Eclat and Crown
Prince second and third.
The 50 sovs. Stakes, for two yrs old, will have either Field
blouse or Don John colt for winner.
The WelCome Stakes will bring the following to the post :
—Tragical, Ward of Cheap, Sting, Humdrum, Burlesque,
Queen Anne, lago, Blackie, Footstool, Cynynion, and pro-
bably one each of Exeter's and Greville's. I 'have some
doubts on this race; to my eye, Sting, Burlesque, and lago
Vare pretty evenly matched. Should Queen Anne be up to
ha4mark, thidre is another rival for the Welcome honours. I
tme a slight preference for the son of Slane, and will look to
leap° do the trick, the other three being too near to be
pant—Burlesque or lago second.
The 100 sovs Stakes, for three yrs old, will entice two to
the Post, King Charles and Prussic Acid, the latter for winner.
On Wednesday the Swinley Stakes to Lord Lonsdale.
The
25 soya. Stakes to Mr. Hill, should Jericho not start.
'tee 50 SOW. Stakes to Lord Albemarle.
The Coronation Stakes to Princess Alice or Birthday.
The 60 soya. Stakes, Sting Ist, Joy 2d, and St. De-
baetri 3d.
The Fern Hill Stakes will have about seven starters, with
Burlesque or Laundry Maid for winner.
II e The Royal Hunt Cup will collect together a very good
'A, probably thirteen. At the finish the front rank will
•,.I2oesist of Beaumont, Sir Francis, Sotades, Cocoa Nut, and
4'esconfield—Sir Francis or Sotades for winner.
On Thursday, the Dinner Stakes, to Draco or Harmony
ally; ;the 50 soya. Stakes, to
anLord Albemarle ; the St.
es's Palace Stakes, to Free Lce. The Emperor's Plate,
e.grand attraction of the meeting, will bring a first. rate
lueld to the post. As far as lam able to judge at the present
itele) the following Will go for weetmeat, Ped colt,
,tentor, Baron Miss Sarah, liesheng, Wolfdog, Alarm,
''iericlao, Miss Ells, Orlando, Coranna, and the Crown Prince.
Pch a field as a lover of racing admires—no trash, all game
4.0 the back bone. The tussle on Thursday next will be
esh
1 riere,4 and (I fancy) the pace tremendous. The Crown
Rose ce, Coranna, Alarm, Wolfdog, and K
th eng will be die-
dof at e run in ; Orlando, Mies Elia, and Mentor, at
(181,ae distance ; and the remaining five will struggle on to the
when the Baron and Peri colt will have had nough ;
i2v.veetmeat, Miss Sarah, and Jericho will form thee" crack
Lrio,, to
get placed, Sweetmeat or Jericho winning, which I
„,not say, probably the former.
I,he New Stakes I know but little about this year, not
eying seen above seven of the youngsters, five of which
filly, Don
been before the public. I should say the. Miss Clifton
Don John colt, or Cottisford were as good as any; but
;,.°ll Must not rely on this, for my prophetic vision on this
vertieular race is remarkably misty.
On Friday the 300 sovs. Stakes will be decided as follows
'Leopold first, Fuzbos second.
~.eThe Military Stakes to Lyons; Muscatel second.
'Will be
h match betwceu Wolfdog, Bst 71b, and Miss Ells, 7st 71b,
on by the latter ; and the match between Camelia
Taurina, by the former.
,_Por the 300 soya. given by the Great Western Railway
~'QraPany the winner will spring out of the five-year-olds. I
ea not be more particular, as this stake depends so much
upon the others. I am, sir, yours,

MELANCHOLY
OCCURRENCE AT A LUNATIC ASYLUM.
