STATE OSTRADE . The state of- business in the chief " seats- of industry during the week ending last Saturday differed in no important" respect fronvthe condition of affairs last reported . A continued improvement is noticeable in most localities ; but languor still pre v ails a t B radfo r d , Huddersfieldj Leicester , Manchester ; ' and Wblverhampton . " It appears , " says-the Times ^ " that , at the meeting of the partners of the Edinburgh and' Glasgow Bank ; held at Edinburgh on Thursday week , a protest was served on the directors , in b e half of shareho l de rs w h o had purchased stock since last February , holding' the directors liable for-the price of the same , on the ground that the report laid before the meetings of the
proprietoTs in February did not- represent the true : condition of the bank ' s affairs , and'counsel , we believe , have beenretained to follow up the protest by li t i gation . It was admitted by the directors that since February they had bought in stock of the nominal value of 43 , 092 ? ., at a cost of 43 J 887 ? . It was- stated that the number of shareholders is about 1400 , and that the nominal value of their holdings is about 360 j 000 J . The fact was likewise elicited that the directors of the Clydesdale Bank ; a nd a l so , we believe , the accountant employed by the committee of proprietors to investigate , did not think
that the assets of the Edinburgh and' Glasgow Bank would- amount to 165 , 000 ? ., and therefore , to carry out the amalgamation with the former , a call w ould , in their opinion , n ece ss aril y have to be made on the shareholders of the latter . Ten trustees were appointed to carry out the amal gama t ion , four being selected from the present directors and six from the shareholders . The meeting ( to \ vhioh the representatives of the press were not admitted ) was , we believe , a very angry one . A bo ut fo u r or five hu n dred person s were p r esen t ; a n d the meeting lasted two lours and a half . "

GATHERINGS PRO 3 V £ THE LAW AND POLICE COURTS . Saturday was a memorable day in the Court of Queen ' s Bench ; being signalized by the retirement of Mr . Justice Coleridge ,- who ,- for the last three-and-twenty years , lias exercised the functions of" a Judge with great learning , indomitable patience , and admirable courtesy and kindness of manner- He 'is thelast of the Judges appointed by any inonarch ptecedingher-prcsent Majesty ; for the hard work of the bench , c o r n i ng o n t he top of many years of toil at the-bar , does Jiot allow of any protracted period « f judicial service . The respect and esteem felt , for the retiring Judge ( who , besides behig an admiFablelarsvyer , was a gentleman of a very elegant and scholarly mind 1 —a . relation , we believe , of the poet Coleridge )' w ere such , that the cottvfc on Saturday was densely crowded w i t h barris t e rs ; a n d , shortly after two , Lord Campbell called on the Attorney-General , who thereupon rose and addressed ' the retiring Judge in an eloquent speech , in which he-enlarged on his shining qualities as a lawyer , on his affable bearing towards the bar , and oil the regTet universally felt at . his retirement . Mr . Justice Coleridge was so much affected by this address that it was a considerable time before he could lind utterance . He then < spoke at some length ,, and , in the course of . his observations ,, made some excellent remarks oh the moral character of tho bar . "So long as England is ricli and . f r ee , " sa i d his L o r dshi p , " the law must always exercise a predominant influence . I am sure you feel that your
r esponsibili ty is commensurate with : your interest ; and I have no fear but that , in . any political difficulties or danger s t ha t ma y ar i se , you will be found , as your predecessors were , courageous , and * entirel y e qu al to a n y crisis . But the most insidious . dangers are those which beset you- in your daily business ^ -tlio excitement of Controversy ,- tho desire of victory , tho lovo of intellectual display , and tho- excessive sense of duty to your clients .. Gcntlctnon , and especiallymj ^ younger friends , suffer we to put you on your guard . \\ o can . well afford to bear with broad pl easant r ies , but wo . cannot afford thut our professional standard of honour-should ? bo questioned * or that it should be said' that-wo would . do as advocates in
court what as . gentlemen we should scorn to do . yometimos wo lend support to this- notion by the ease with which wo attribute ungeatlemauly conduct to one another . That client is dear indeed that would induce a n advocate i n car rying out his views to go T ) uyond his great and glorious profession . F org ive me , my friends , these free words . I speak in tho love of a pro- - fession to which I have given the best part of my years , and which I shall continue to love as long us my heart shall boat . " At the conclusion of his speech , his Lordship bowed and hastily rushed out of court , evidently overcome by his emotions . Many members of tho bar , moreover , could not restrain their tears . Ihe court was shortly afterwards adjourned' for tlio long vacation . It will reassemble on tho 2 nd of November .
Tho case of Palmer v . Maclear and Macgrnth ,. involving tho validity of tho will ' of Sir George Jif acgrnth ,. was concluded in tlio Court of Trolintc lust Saturday , by tho plaintiff' consenting to a verdict fur the defendants . Sir- Cfcsswcll Cresswell accordingly directed tho jury to find * that at the dato of tlio will' « ud oodicil propounded by tho plnhltiff , tho tes t ator , S ir C ieor g o Miiograth , was not of sufficiently sound mind , memory , and understanding to execute tlloso instruments .
