Railway shares are generally firm, and the ar-
rangement of the account is progressing satisfac-
torily. The rates of " contango " continue mode-
rate. Rigas have improved to 1i prem., but in
the shares of the other foreign undertakings there
is no change of importance to record.
Banking and miscellaneous shares are quiet, but
generally steady.

ENCOUNTER WITH BRIGANDS --A letter from Imola,
of the 3d inst., says " A regular engagement took
place some nights ago between a hand of brigands and a
patrol of gendarmes at Seto, on the Imola and Medicine,
road. Five gendarmes, passing before an inn, asked if
there were any strangers in it. Having received a
negative reply, they rode on, and meeting at a short
distance from Sesta the wife of the innkeeper, they re-
peated their question, to which she refused to reply.
The gendarmes began to suspect something and retraced
their steps. When they arrived before the inn, a brigand
came out, shot a gendarme, and was himself killed by
another. A second brigand then advanced to the as-
sistance of his comrade, shot two other gendarmes, and
fled, pursued by the two surviving soldiers, whn, how-
ever, were not able to overtake him. The brigand who
was killed belonged to the band of Lazzarini. The inn-
keeper and his wife have been arrested, and will in all
probability be shot. The proceedings were conducted
by the Austrian War Auditor." .

CITY, Two o'ClLoox.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and prices of all descriptions were without
any material change. The sales amounted to 5,000
bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and r 3
500 on speculation—comprising 4,000 Egyptian,
60. to 74d. ; 700 Surat, 41d. to Sid ; and 100
Sea Islands, 11d, to ls. 2d per lb. The Railway
Share Market closed quiet, with very few transac- 22-
tions, and prices were a shade lower.
25
AdriceFi from Odessa of the 28th July state that st.
the grain market there was firm ; partly in come-
at.
quence of accounts from Marseilles, and partly 2
from the bad weather which had continued for 20
20
days previously, during which it rained almost in- 20
cessantly, doing considerable damage to the crops 10
in Southern Russia. From 25,000 to 30,000 50
tchetwerts of wheat changed hands at 10 to 114
silver roubles per tchetwert, which is considerably -.fp
above the previous quotations. Great fault is found
with the merchants at Odessa trusting to the 25
advices from Marseille; for the accounts from 25
other markets in Western Europe predicted the Est
fall which has since taken place. The 10
average prices of wheat were as follows : llot•
Ist quality 101 to 11i roubles per tchetwert ; San-
50
domirca 10 to 11i ; Bessarabia 10 to 104. The 20
stock on hand at the end of July was about
10
120,000 tchet. Letters from the Sea of Azoff an-
s't.
nounced the firmness of the markets there, as the 81.
depots were not overstocked, and the results of the
ensuing crops in the surrounding country
calculated would be below the average, while iu
the interior it would be a most abundant harvest.
At Taganrog wheat was quoted 28 to 34 silver rou-
bles per 10 poods (3601b5. English) ; and superior
qualities 31 to 33 roubles. Oleaginous grains are
much in request, and it is difficult to meet the de-
mand at Rostoff and Berdiansk.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange
have deferred the further consideration of
the position of the-Riga and Dannebuig Railway
Company until next Monday, when their de- a
cision, based upon the documents submitted to 1(
them, will probably be announced. Meanwhile 25
the Directors, anxious to do all in their power to
25
disabuse the public mind from the prejudice lat- 7%
terly expressed, have resolved upon postponing the 10°
call of 41. per share from the 20th inst. to the Ist
proximo, when the proceeds will be placed in the -61
hands of the bankers of the company, as trustees, 25
until a full assurance can be given to the proprietors tr.,
that the advantages set forth in the original prospec- s'o
tus will virtually be obtained from the undertaking. 20
The Directors, and, consequently, the share- st.
holders, have in some measure been misled ; but r
not to such an extent, it is asserted, as to seriously
St.
damage the prospects of the Company. What
view the Committee of the Stock Exchange will sstt•
take, however, it is impossible to
it
predict ; and .
their decision, therefore, is awaited with great 25
anxiety, especially by those who in the belief that g
the shares offered a good medium of investment at.
were induced to purchase them at high rates of g.
premium.

The Bank of England Directors, at their" meeting Tt•
to-day, have made no alteration in the minimum at.
charge for discount accommodation. St.
The English Funds were at per cent. decline
at the commencement of business, but they have
L 2O
since become firmer, and the market appears to
have an upward tendency. Exchequer Bills, which 25
are marked 95., 10s., 125., and 13s. premium, have been sold, s,old, to the extent of 5,0001., by the
Government broker, who subsequently purchased
20,0001. or 30,0001. Reduced Annuities, which are
quoted 954. 1. The New 3 per Cents. are 96 to
