PEPPERCORN.-JUDGMENT. THE 120YAL CO3l - MISSION ON ARMY CONTRAC7'S. OFFICIAL INQUIRY-THIS DAY. The Royal Cemmission for inquiring into the state of the principal depots for military stores and clothing, and into the system of army contracts, met this morning in No. 11 committee-room of the -House of Commons. - The question raised in this case was whether a banker had a general or partiCular lien on bills deposited with him for advances made by him to the defendant. Bills depo sited and not paid were held by the banker in security for advances previously made. His Honoui the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the banker had a particular and general lien upon all bills de posited with him for advances made by him, and directed accounts to be taken between the parties, with liberty to apply. The Commissioners present were Colonel French and Mr. Selfe (chairman). The CIIAIRMAN sal* it was the desire *of the Royal Commissioners to bring this inquiry to as speedy a termi nation as possible, and as there were no 'witnesses present, and he felt very unwell, he thought it would be prudent to adjourn the inquiry for a day or two. It was the intention of the commissioners io nelxf . week, and for two or three days in that following, but after that period the inquiry would close. He thought if those gen tlemen who wished to be examined, would intimate the fact to,tho secretary, it would tend to facilitate the re sult. The commission had had but very little evidence volunteered with respect LI the Tower, and if any person had anything to state on that point of the inquiry, the secretary would be the best person to communicate with. The commissioners, owing to the ill ness of Mr. Turner, had been deprived of their right hand, and as it was expected that gentleman would be so far im proved in health as to attend on' Monday, the inquiry would therefore stand adjourned until that day, and then to meet at the. Tower. ~``,~ INMAN V. CLARE-JUDGMENT. Two cargoes of cotton, consisting of 414 and 453 bales, per ships Sylph and Sultan, were consigned by plaintiff to defendant, a merchant in Liverpool, and advances made upon them, and the question was, whether there was a specific appropriation of the cotton consigned for the ad vances made, or whether the consignment was given in security for future advances. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor considered that there was, not only a particular lien upon cotton specifically con signed for advances made upon it, but also a general lien upon a general consignment of cotton fdr advances made during the time it remained in the hands'of the consignee, unsold, or if sold upon the price paid to the amount of such advances, or if a deficiency, in proportion thereto. His Honour declared accordingly, and directed account sales (charge and discharge) to be taken, and the proceeds of the sale to be applied in discharge of the bills due, or to become due, in the bank at Liverpool, without costs of suit, but with costs subsequent to this decree.

This was a suit for specific performance of a contract for the sale of a large iron manufacturing business at Leeds. The parties in this suit are partners of a company carrying on a very extensive business there. Plaintiff succeeded to one-third share of the company, and the defendant had two-thirds. On the 18th May, 1857, defendant wrote a letter to plaintiff proposing to purchase his interest in the copartnery, or to sell his own interest therein to the plain tiff on the terms proposed. The plaintiff now asked specific performance of this agreement. His Honour, on considering the terms of the agreement, came to the conclusion that the letter referred to was not a contract of sale, but only a proposal to enter into a contract to sell the defendant's interest, and that his Honour could not decree specific performance of the agreement. His Honour continued—Defendant, as manager and re ceiver of the company, directed a sale of the plant and busi ness of the company as a going business, and declared the disolution of the copartnery to be from the date of filing the bill, with liberty to apply. His Honour dismissed the bill without costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE COLES AND LOWE.

Mr. Henry Glennie, one of the cashiers at the bank, said that about eleven that morning the prisoner presented to him the cheque Produced, and purporting to be signed by Mr..George:.Wll4ehead for £229, in favour 'of Colonel Tynte. Doubting the genuineness of the signature, he spoke to Mr. Phillips, one of the managers, who put several questions to the prisoner, and . asked where he obtained it, to which ho replied that it was given to him by a man in Poland-street to take to the bank and get cashed. He was then given into custody. Mr. George Whitehead, conveyancer, of 10, Poland street, said he had an account at the Union Bank. The signature to the cheque produced was not his, though it was very much like it. He had signed several cheques lately in favour of Colonel Tynte. He knew nothing whatever of the prisoner, and had no recollection of him. Sergeant Lombard, 14 C, said he was called into the Bank that morning, and on telling the prisoner he was charged with attempting to utter tho cheque, his only reply was that he was sorry for it, and had nothing to say in answer to the charge. The prisoner was then remanded till this day week. THIS DAI'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Dec. 3.—Wind thii day at noon, S. W. ; moderate breeze, and fine.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwise a full average supply of English wheat—over 2,200 quarters—has been received during the present week. Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals were trifling, and the show of samples of both red and white was only moderate. For all kinds, however, wo experienced a dull inquiry, at about Monday's decline in value. Nearly 15,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand. Millers purchased with extreme caution, and to have forced sales lower rates must have been submitted to. Owing to a largo influx from abroad, the barley trade ruled somewhat heavy, but we have no change to notice in prices. Malt moved off steadily, at full quotations. We were fairly supplied with oats, in which an average business was transacted, at late rates. Beans, peas, and flour were dull, bat not cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. • Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

DEATH OF A SPORTING CELEBRITY.—Saunders announces the death of "the Father of the Irish Turf," Mr. George Watts. The turf, both in England and Ire land, has sustained two great losses. In the early pait of this week we recorded the death of Mr. Harry Coombe, and it becomes now our melancholy duty to announce the de cease of Mr. George Watts, the father of the Irish turf, which occurred at his residence, Jockey Hall, on the 30th ult. Mr. Watts had been for many years a celebrated veterinary surgeon; he, as the partner of the late Mr.Peile, introduced the scientific veterinary system into Ireland, and raised the profession from the nostrum of the farrier to the proud position it now occupies, sought after by educated gentlemen. He was a most successful breeder, having raised Blackfoot, Whitefoot, and Magpie, Chit Chat, Chat terer, and Chatterbox ; and though last, not least, the Baron, winner of the Doncaster St. Leger; and afterwards as a sire having attained to European celebrity, his son Rataplan the foremost in the van. Her Majesty's Guineas have oftener fallen to his lot than any other man on the turf ; but two-year-old engagements were his fancy, and the larger the sum the more certain he was to subscribe. His word was his bond, and to "run true and straight" his motto. The grave never closed over the remains of a more honourable man or a truer sportsman. THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM COM PANY.—The annual report of this company, issued prepa ratory to their meeting on Saturday, recommends the usual half-yearly dividend of 31. per cent., with an additional payment of 1 per cent., besides 2 per cent. on the under writing account. The net profits on revenue account for the 12 months ending the 30th of September have been £182,508, of which £29,508 was carried to the insurance fund. The total paid-up share capital of the company is £1,700,000, besides debentures for £280,200, while the valuation of assets amounts to £2,303,975, showing a sur plus of £323,775. The underwriting account, after deduct ing £52,746 for the steamship Ava, has resulted in a profit of £46,526, of which £34,0041 is to be divided as above mentioned in the shape of a 2 . per cent. pay ment to the proprietors, and £12,526 is to be car ried to the guarantee insurance fund, which will then reach £323,724. Six new vessels are about to be added to the company's fleet, one of which, called the Union, is to perform a mail service between Reunion and Mau ritius, for which the company have undertaken a contract with the French Government. The Colombo, a screw ves sel of 1,864 tons, is being lengthened 30 feet amidships, the similar treatment of the" Candid having been followed by excellent results. Four screw ships not yet named, have also just been purchased. The new Australian contract, via the Mauritius, is stated to present so many facilities of navigation as compared with the Ceylon route as to justify the beat hopes with regard to regularity and profit. Wit reference to the Egyptian transit route, it is stated that the railway is expected to be completed to Suez by the close of this year. Various contingencies connected with claims for compensation and loss of cargo by the wreck of the Ava are to be adjusted without litigation, and the amount will be ultimately debited to the guarantee insurance fund. gXPORTS OF THREAD AND YARN.—During the month of Oct. there were exported from Hull 7,184,6441 b. of cotton thread and yarn, 1,397,7501 b. of linen ditto, and 1,593,9111 b. of worsted and woollen ditto.
