!EN TRAL CR: The July Sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning at the Sessions House, Old Bailey, before Alderman Challis, who presided in the absence of the Lord Mayor; the Recorder (Russell Gurney, Esq., Q .U.) Alderman J. W. Lawrence, Alderman Lusk, the Sheriffs (H. N. Nissen, Eeq. and Thomas Carr, Esq.,) the Under Sheriffs (Messrs Nicholson and Gammon), and other civic authorities. The calendar contains a list of 106 prisoners for trial, of which 3 are for murder, 1 for shooting with intent, 1 for feloniously wounding, 10 for forgery, 4 for stealing Post Office letters, 28 for uttering counterfeit coin, 1 for rape, the remainder being for offences of an ordinary character. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The Recorder proceeded to deliver his charge, remark ing that there were a larger number of prisoners for trial than usual at these sessions, but that was to be accounted for by a longer period haring elapsed since the last session• There wore two cases of murder, bate n one of them it would not be necessary for him to remark, as the outrage and murder, if it was a murder, took place at Penge, which was beyond the jurisdiction of this court; he did not know why the depositions were sent to that court, except by mistake ; the case would, however, be oaken before another tribunal at the assizes. The other case was that in which a man named Frederick Britten was charged with the murder of a young woman at Islington. It appeared the prisoner was a waiter in the same house with his victim, and he had com mitted the rash act through the jealousy of a young man, a cousin of the deceased, who had declared he should not have her. He stabbed her in the neck, from which injury she died directly after. The prisoner, when told she was dead, said he was glad of it, ho had rather she was dead than she should have any one but himself. The jury would have no difficulty in this case in returning a true bill. There were also two charges of wounding with in tent to murder. In the one case, which was a charge of shooting, there could be no doubt there was great provoca tion. The prosecutor had been fcund in bed with his wife, and the prisoner had pursued him from one room to another. The only question was whether they would be of opinion that the prisoner had fired with intent to kill ; if so, it would their duty to send the case for trial. The other case was that of a man who kept company with a woman. There was a charge of rape in a railway carriage, which would require careful investigation. It would appear that after the alleged offence had taken place another female en tered the compartment, but the prosecutrix made no men tion of what took place, and passed a station without getting out, remaining with the prisoner. There was also a case under the Foreign Enlistment Act, in which a person was charged with engaging firemen for a Confederate steamer. A point of law might arise whether engaging a fireman came within the Act. If the facts were as stated on the depositions, it would be better for them to return a true bill. The Recorder then referred to several charges of forgery which would require no special remark, and also the case of robbery of letters from the General Post Office. After some general remarks he dismissed the jury to their - •t, duties MONEY MARKET AND CODIXERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The favourable condition of the Money Market noticed towards the close of last week continues With a tendency to still further easiness. The rates as yet, however, show very little ap parent alteration, 5a per cent. being the lowest charge by brokers and others for the negotiation of first -class bills. The enquiry on the part of the commercial public shows no increare, and the idea is now more hopefully indulged that some further concessions will soon be made. The prospectus has appeared of the Regent's Canal Iron Works Company, which proposes to purchase and carry on the engineering works of Mr Henry Grissell, situate in the Eagle Wharf road, Regent's Canal. The works cover a space of 21 acres of land, and possess a frontage of 700 feet on the Eagle Wharf-road, with nearly the same extent of water frontage. There are some valuable patents for improvements in steam agricultural machinery which the company also propose to acquire. It appears that the works were established in 1844, and have been carried on by the present proprietor since that period with great success. He is still to retain an interest in the concern, and to be its managing director. The nominal capital is to be £250,000 in shares of £2O each, 8,000 of which is to form the first issue. The Macgregor Laird, from Africa, has brought £11,908. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have continued of a very satis factory character. At Manchester there has been a fair demand for both cloth s an d yarns for expor tation and for home use. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been more animated, and increased activity has prevailed in the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham. Business in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton has continued steady. The prospectus of the Robertsfors Ironworks Company is before the public for a capital of £300,000. The object of the company is the pur chase of the extensive estates of Robertsfors and Fredriksfors, comprising about 150,000 acres of freehold and crown lands, with large forests and agricultural districts, as also timber and ironworks, shipbuilding yards, &c., Which are situated in the county of West Botten, in Sweden. The pros duotion of iron has hitherto been limited, but by means of the resources of a public company that supply can be increased to any extent, and there is always a ready market for Swedish metal. The magnetic iron ore from the mines is exceedingly rich, it can be obtained in any quantity, and one f act speaks highly in favour of the undertaking, namely, a specimen of the ore, the same as that from which the celebrated Dannemara iron ii produced has been assayed by Messrs. Johnsen and Matthews, and found to contain 664 pure metal, and quite free from sulphur. another very important circumstance is, that,the company intend to devote considerable attention to the produation of Bessemer steel. There is ample water power on the estate, labour is cheap, and the property isin dose proximity to a shipping place, therefore all the materials for a successful business aro at hand. The vendors have agreed to accept £50,000 for the estate and as the mines and iron works are in active operation, the profits Will accrue to the company from the date of pur. chase. The prospectus of the Hudiksvall and Forssa Steam Sawing Mill Company (limited) has been issued, with a proposed capital of .£160,000 in 3,200 £5O shares, with power to iracrease -to £200,000, of which about £75,00'), or 1,500 shares fully paid np, will bs taken by the present Hudiksvall Steam Sawing Mill Company. In the year 1857 a private company was established for the purchase of forests in Sweden, and acquiring leases, grants, with the power to sell ; as also to so perfect the water c ommunications for floating timber from the forest of Forces, and, by the aid of steam and water mills at Hudiksvall, convert the timber into deals for sale Tin London and the other markets of the world. h i s company is f orme d for the purpose of extend - g the already extensive operations of the Hudiks "rkill Steam Sawing Mill Company. The directors, Whose names will at once inspire every confidence in the project, have issued a very expl anatory prospectus, which will be found in our advertising columns. Valuable leases have been secured, and the assets of the old company were on the Ist of January last £137,950.

Mr. Grattan, who was born in Dublin in 1796, was the son of Mr. Colley Grat tan, of Edenderry, King's County. He was in tended for the profession of the law, but having an uncle and two cousins in the army (one, Major Grattan, commanded the Royal Irish in the East Indies and in China), he entered the militia in the hope of getting a commission. It may be added that his. brother William was the author of a well known book, "Adventures of a Connaught Ran. ger, 1808.14," published in 1847. Thomas Grattan served as a volunteer in the South American army in the war of independence against the yoke of Spain, but marrying a Miss O'Donnell, he left the service and settled in the south of France, In 1819 he produced " Phillibert," a poetical romance, in the style of Scott—longo intervallo, however— which was not successful. He then removed his establishment to Paris, and made acquain tance with Beranger, Casimir, Perier, Moore, Washington Lying, Lamartine, and other distil), guisbed men, and became a regular contributor to the _Edinburgh Review, and to the New Monthly Magaz:ne, then under the editorship of Thomas Campbell. In 1823 appeared " Highways and Byewaye, by a Walking Gentleman," the work by which Mr Grattan will be best remembered. This book had a great sale, and brought the author many offers from the booksellers, which induced him to bring out a second and third series. Then he pro duced in succession "Ben Nazir the Saracen," a play written for Kean (after which he left Bou logne, where he had been living, for Brussels), " Tales of Men and Cities" (1829), " Traits of Tra vel," " The Heiress of Bruges" (1831), " The His tory of the Netherlands," " Jaqueline of Holland (1831), which latter caused his expulsion from Brus sels, and his residence in Holland and Heidel berg, where he wrote his "Legends of the Rhine," and "Agnes de Mansfeldt." On the ecerssion of Prince Leopold of Saxe.Coburg to the newly- Brussel s , created thr one o f Belgium Mr Grattan returned to and in 1839 was appointed, at the special request of hie Majesty, British Consal at Boston, His new office brought out his ta:ent in a new direction, and his pamphlet on the boundary ques tion in America, In 1848 he was permitted, as a favour, to resign this office to his son, who had been acting as his deputy, and he was appointed a gen tleman of the Privy Chamber in the royal household. Mr Grattan has also written " Civilised America," " Women of Colour," " The C agot ' s Port and the Conscript's Bride" ( 184 7), " England and the Disrupted States of America" (1861), Beaten Paehs, and Those who Trod them" (1862) c'ec. His personal reminiscences were very interesting, and contain many curious anecdotes about men and manners of various countries. 'qr.; Grattan, after a severe illness, expired at his residence in Jeriseyn street.

SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1861 MARKETS—This Day, MARK-LANE. The wheat trade in the country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, at fully late rates. In spring corn a fair average business was transacted - , and previous quotations wore well supported. The flour trade was steady, on former terms. Advices from New York state that an increased amount of business is doing in produce, for export to Great Britain, at enhanced currencies. On the Continent, the trade generally is steady. For the time of year the amounts of home-grown produce up to our market last week were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 3,287 quarters of wheat, 2,607 barley, 44,047 oats, 3,063 peas, 4d tears, 3,478 oilseed, 777 maim, 16 sundry seeds, 200 sacks and 8,017 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate, but the condition of the produce was good, and both re d and wh i te qualit i es met a steady sale at the rates current on Montl)y last. A fair average supply of foreign wheat was on the stands The amount ct business transacted was very moderate. Nevertheless all descriptions supported last Monday'sprices.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day. The quality of the beasts was poor—of sheep middling—of calves, tolerably good. The trade was in active, at about previous rates. The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were moderately good as to number ; but the quality of most breeds was by no means prime. The best Scots, crosses, &e., moved off stea di ly, and, in some instances, the quotations h a d an upwar d ten dency. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Our top figure for beef was 5s 2d per Ms. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,800 Scots and crosses.; from Lincolnshire, 700 short horns; from other parZs of England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland, 171 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 80 oxen and heifers. supplied, and half-breds but there was a fal \ li V n i g th off sh i e n ep w their e were fairly alcond pitsioun.p Downs sold freely, on rather higher terms.

ORCHARD THIEVES.—George Hayward, aged 16, and Frederick Dahoney, aged 13, were charged before 11r, Selfe with stealing apples from the Botanie Gardens, Chelsea. Mr Butler, gardener at the establishment, said that on the previous afternoon he saw the prisoners get over the 4arden wall, and before he could get to them he saw one of them shake an apple tree, from which several apples fell. The prisoners took them up, and was about to go away with them, when he stopped them. Mr. Selfe—How many apples wera there ? Witness—There were 22 apples. It is not merely steal ing the apples, but the damage which is done to the trees. Mr. Selfe—The prisoners were here a few days ago, I think, for stealing apples. Witness—They were, sir, and were ordered to be sent to prison. Mr. Dennis, the gaoler, stated that they were only sent for three days, and in consequence, were not taken down in the van. The mother of Dahoney stated that since he was con victed he had not been home, He was a very bad boy and the worst of the family. She would like him to be sent to some Reformatory. Mr Selfe observed that as Hayward had been at that Court before he should send him to prison for two months. ae would not send Dahoney tofprison, but at once send him to a Reformatory for three years. Hayward—Can you not send me to a Reformatory, sir? Mr Selfe—No, kou are too old. The prisoners were then removed by the gaoler; Hay ward to prison and Dahoney to a Reformatory. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE CHARGE AGAINST A SOLDIER OF BEING IN POSSESSION OF COUNT WALDSTEIN'S WATCH AND CHAlN.—Joseph Hood, a private of the Grenadier Guards, charged with being in possession of a watch and chain of the value of £lOO, which was afterwards ascertained to be long to Count Waldstein, of Mount-street, Grosvenor square, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. It may be remembered that the prisoner stated that a gentleman outside the barracks invited him to take some thing to drink, and he took him to his lodgings and made him a present of the watch and chain. The count's state ment to the police was that he was robbed of his watch and chain in a quarrel amongst some soldiers. _ _ Mr Weymouth, of Clifford's-inn, appeared to-day on behalf of the count, who was not in attendance. Mr Tyrwhitt ordered the evidence taken on the last occa sion to be read over, which was done. Mr Tyrwhitt asked whether the Count was present, and Inspector Tanner, from Scotland-yard, said he was not, although the prisoner had been twice remanded. Nlr Weymouth said he attended on behalf of the Count, and it was a matter of the greatest importance that the Count should be present to give an explanation of the state ment made by the prisoner. It happened that the day the Count was to appear at this court he was taken ill, and being also in great pecuniary difficulties he had to go to Berlin for money. He (Alr Weymouth) had a certificate showing that the Count had been in ill health and unable to attend to business. The Count being a foreigner was ignorant of the inference drawn by the report of the case in the papers. His object was to ask for an adjournment, that the Count might be enabled to attend. Inspector Tanner said that after the prisoner was re manded last week ha called him and told him that he did not like to tell the commanding oflcer at the time that the gentleman had taken him home and told him to strip himself, which he did, and that he gave him the watch and chain for doing so. Mr Weymouth said he had the landlady of the house in which the Count lodged present, to state that no soldier came to the house on the Sunday, the day of the robbery. Mr Pohl, the secretary to the Count, said the Count was an Austrian, and had been in this country some years. He had latterly been very ill 'and unable to attend to business. The Count was obliged to go to Berlin owing to the bad state of his affairs. The Count told him on the Monday morning that he had been robbed the previous day, and he believed by a soldier in a street near the National Gallery— that there was a fight going on, and he went by and was robbed of his watch and chain. The lady cf the hou®o eaid that no soldier came to it on Sunday, and that the Count was too ill to attend to busi- ness. Mr Tyrwhitt—But he was not too ill to go abroad. Mr Weymouth said he felt certain the Count would attend. It is said that the Banting system is to be intro. duced into the army. No more stout officers will be allowed. Mr Pohi said he would be back in a week. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, offering to take two bail in £lO for his attendance in a week. THAMES. RECKLESS DRIVING IN THE MILE-END-ROAD.—George Histham, a farrier, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and furious driving in the Mile .end-road. In consequence of the furious and reckless driving of the Cockneys along the Bow-road and the Mile-end-road every evening, and the numerous accidents which have happened by this most scandalous practice, mounted policemen have been stationeed along the road, and orders given to take all offenders into custody, On Sunday night the driving is very reckless, and every person with a vehicle endeavours to pass the one in front of him. The confusion and alarm last night were very great, and many persona were stopped and their names and addresses taken, with a view to further proceedings, The prisoner, who was driving furiously, and had charge of a horse and cart, was intoxicated, and was pursued by John Clark, 199 K, who was on horseback. He galloped a mile after the prisoner and overtook him near Mile End-gate. The prisoner was intoxicated. A woman and child in the same cart were nearly thrown out. The pollee-constable was of opinion the prisoner was driving his horse at the rate of 14 miles an hour. Mr Bowdler, the second clerk of the court, said that furious driving was on the increase. It was attended with great danger, and many accidents had occurred, The prisoner said the pony he was driving could not travel at the rate of more than eight miles an hour. There were two vehicles in advance of him, and they went on at a tremendous pace. Mr Paget—And the policeman took you for going slow, and allowed the people who drove fast to escape P Tho prisoner—Yes, sir, that's it ; I was driving very slowly. (A laugh.) _ _ • Mr Paget - , the police-constable, had to set spurs to his horse and gallop after you. It is a very bad case. You were drunk, and driving along a crowded road. I shall inflict upon you the full penalty of 40s, The penalty was paid. DANO-GERMAN WAR.—STETTIN, July 5. According to a despatch received hero to-day from Elsinore, the Glen Grant (English vessel), from Stornoway for this port, or Colberg, with herrings, has been seized and taken to Copenhagen for attempting to break the blockade. MR BERNAL OSBORNE'S BRILLIANTLY HUMOUR - OUS SPEECEI OF FRIDAY, as described in the Daily Telegraph :—lt was fortunate for Mr. Osborne that his purpose of speaking earlier in the debate had been frustrated; fA. his jocularity had become mellow, and there was a richness of flavour in it which was the result of keeping. Unquestionably he never was so roundly humorous as now, and, with a boldness equal to that of the genius who con ceived the idea of extracting sunbeams from cucumbers, he fell upon the proctocol of the Conference, the dullest and most sententious of reading, and struck flashes of fun out of it which tested hardly Lord Palmerston's power of maintaining his gravity, though Mr Gladstone's face grew sterner and sterner, and that rigidity of muscle which becomes a Minister who is being " roasted" was developed with admirable consistency. In fact, Mr Osborne was more truly impromptu than usual, one or two interruptions which he had to undergo being turned to account with dashing rapidity. His asking Mr Layard to stake his office on the accuracy of a statement which he had made was a tremendous hit, and caused the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs to fold his arms tight and thrust his head deep into the collar of his coat, When he quoted a portrait of Lord Palmerston, drawn by Mr Gladstone in days when the right hon. gentleman hung so damagingly on the flank of the noble lord's then Ministry, he fairly overcame the Premier's gravity. The personal sketches of members of the Cabinet, which Mr Osborne than drew, were duly accepted and enjoyed by those who escaped the infliction of the hard lines made by his pencil. How perfectly successful from its peculiar point of view was this latest ebullition of Mr Osborne's comic vein, which may be called the scathing comic, may be gathered from the fact that the whole house went out in a body when he had concluded, to talk over his speech in pleasanter gossipping places than their inner chamber— and this, notwithstanding Mr Whiteside presented himself; for, as every one knows, this right hon. gentleman generally commands an audience, since he has the h,ppy knack of interesting his friends and irritating his enemies in no corn mon degree, and is therefore a master of Parliamentary titillation• a toek stock s , ook 100 stock Naval and Military Intelligence. MALTA, July 4.—Her Majesty's ship Pelican emit; ed from Tunis on June 27th, followed on the 29th by her NE a jesty's ship Cossack, and on July Ist by her Majesty's slot . p Royal Oak. Her Majesty's ship Liffey returned on the 276 of June from a cruise of exercise in the Malta Channel Her Majesty's ship Magicienne arrived on July Ist fro“ Tripoli, Gerbi, and Ghabes, bringing Col. Herman, her Britannic Majesty's Consu- General at the first-named port, accompanied by Mrs. Herman. Her Majesty's ship Cossack left for the coast of Syria on the 2d July. Admiral Wil liams and his two sons left Malta on June 27th in the Pe ninsular and Oriental Company's packet Syria for Gibral tal and Southampton. Lieutenant Bogher, flag lieutenant to Vice. Admiral Smart, the Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, returned to Malta from England in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's packet Poonah from Southampton on the 29th of June, and resumed his duties on board her Majesty's ship Marlborough. Paymaster Choun, R.N„ was a passenger on board the same steam packet for Alexandria en route for China. The Egyptian screw steam frigate Ibrahimia arrived at Malta from Alex • andria on June 27th, having on board their Excellencies Salim Pasha, Ibrahim Pasha, and M. Princeteau, generals of brigade in the Egyptian army, attended by their respec tive aides-de-camp, on their way to Marseilles, to be pre sent at the military spectacles on the occasion of the Napo leon Festival on the 15th of August. The frigate proceeded to her destination, after replenishing fuel, early on the fol lowing morning. Her Majesty's ship Racoon still remains in the Firth of Forth, moored off Inchcolm, on which island the crew are at present encamped. No new case of sickness having broken out during the week, it is thought likely that.the camp may be broken up in about a week, and that the vessel will proceed on her cruise to Norway. Meantime the Aurora, Capt. Sir L. M'Clintock, has arrived in the Forth, for the purpose of raking Prince Alfred on board, and it is ex pected that the two ships will rendezvous in a few weeks at Froyen, on the coast of Norway, and that the Prince will proceed thither to his former vessel. The new ironcased ship Zealous, 20, 37,716 tons, which left Pembroke at S on Saturday morning, arrived in Ply mouth Sound at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, Her escort, the paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, Commander Arthur A. Thrupp, left at 6 on Saturday and arrived at 11 50 on Sunday. The speed of the Zealous, which is supplied with Maudslay's engines of 800 horse power, has excited great admiration, she having made ten knots while the Geyser was making eight knots. When the Geyser was entering Plymouth Sound near Penlee Point she observed the brig Bonquer, of Sunderland, in collision with the schooner Speedy, of Waterford, from Talbot, with coal, The Speedy was struck just abaft the main rigging, on the starboard side, and lost her foremost. The Geyser took her crew in tow, but the wind being very strong from E.N.E. (force, 6 to 8), the warp broke, and another,warp was fastened,with which she was towed as far as the Read Buoy on the now ground, where she sunk in six fathoms. A midshipman, Mr Ellis, and three of the Geyser's crew had to jump over board to save their lives. The brig has lost her jibboom. All the crew of the schooner took refuge on board the brig immediately after the collision. The Clio, 52, steam corvette, 1,472 tons, 400 horse power, was commissioned by Capt. N, E. B. „Tumour, on Wed nesday last. The officers have been appointed and have joined the vessel, which is shortly to relieve the Charybdis, in the Pacific, Capt. E. W. Tumour. Oa Friday the iron East Indianian Conflict, 1,176 tons, Capt. A. Kelso, belonging to Messrs. James Smith, and Co. of Liverpool, which has been chartered by the Hon. Council for India for the conveyance of troops to reinforce the Royal Artillery serving in the Bengal Presi dency, embarked at Gravesend, from Government-quay, 347 non-commissioned officers and men, 32 women, 46 children, and four officers' wives, of the Royal Artillery, together with the following officers—viz., Capt.

Hinge, Royal Artillery; Ensign H, L, Ricard, 20th Regiment; and Ensign C. Forte, 77th Regiment. The vessel was inspected prior to the embarcation of the troops by Major General Eyre and Staff, and the excellence of the arrangements for the comfort of both officers and men dur ing the voyage elicited very favourable comments. The embarcation of the troops was effected by an early hour in the afternoon under the superintendence of Brigade Major Congreve, from Chatham, and Capt. Cow, who represented the Hon. Council for India, and the Conflict is expected to leave the Thames to-day. The chartered East Indiaman Agamemnon, 1,430 tons, Capt. N. Marder (Sub.-Lieut. Royal Naval Reserve), be longing to Messrs. Green and Co., Blackwell, which has been taken up by the Hon.

The quotation of gold at Para is about 21 per mile pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17 s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than iu London. Ly advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterlin4. standard gold at the English Allot price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills a t CO days' sight is about 222 per cent., and the pr emium on gold is 102 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. LINEAL DESCENDANT OF OLD KING COLE.-It seems, says the Flaneur in the Star, that there is no lawn in the Horticultural Gardens set apart for croquet. The story goes that a deputation of young ladies w a it e d upon Mr Cole and begged hard for a creauct ground, but Mr Cole told them that the gardens were intended for the ad vancement of horticulture, not of husbandry. If the C.B. did say this it is a great chalk in his favour, and is the first thing ho has done to prone his descent from the legal Cue of jovial memory.
