RAILWAY SHARES— Wednesday.—The railway share market was good all day, and loses pretty firmly. Not many bears about to-day. Th goods traffic returns, and the rise in Consols, strengthened railway shares generally. The following are a few of the closing prieesi—N. Western 1101 111, do. New 1 I prem., Midland 421 3, do. Halves 22, Caledonian 101 do. Preference 71 1., Great Northern 121 1 dia., Great Western 58 9, York and Newcastle 161 17, do. Extension 91 81 die., York and North Midland 171 18, do. Preference 31 1 dia.  Advices from Vienna of the 28th ult., state that an amnesty was fully expected to be proclaimed on the first day of the new year. The Journal de Constantinople, of the 15th ult., has news of an insurrection at Ispahan, Persia. It is said the palace of the Governor was attacked, stormed, and the Governor and thirty of his servants put to the sword. Letters from St. Domingo, of the 29th November, contain an Imperial decree, prohibiting foreign ships, after the sth of December, from receiving freight at Hayti. without having first discharged cargoes at that port. Foreign merchants were unable to trade without the payment of 1,800 Spanish dollars for a patent right, and the cost of employing a foreign clerk was 1,000 dollars more. The export duty on sugar had been raised tenfold, and a similar augmentation applied to every description of goods. We have to make the gratifying announcement that Henry Rogers, Esq., of this town, has offered the munificent sum of £2OOO towards the endowment of a church on Wednesfield Heath; and John Moore Paget, Esq., the late patron, has very liberally given an eligible piece of land for the site of the church, parsonage-house, and schools. Henry Rogers, Esq., is also building, near this site, a row of alms-houses, which are nearly roofed in.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. We are informed, and we betray no confidence in making the announcement, that during the present month, John Tollernache, Esq., M.P. for South Cheshire, will enter into a matrimonial alliance with Miss Duff, step-daughter of Lord Rendlesham, of Rendlesham Hall, Suffolk.—Chester Courant.  Reduction of Rents.—The Duke of Manchester has made the following reductions in the rents of his estates in the county of Armagh, namely, upon all rents at 255. MI acre and upwards, 3s. in the pound; on all at 245., 2s. in the pound; and on all at 235., Is. in the pound. The Bermondsey Murder.—On Saturday last, Sir George Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, directed that the police and other parties who were active in prosecuting Manning and his wife, should be rewarded for their exertions in bringing the murderers to justice. Accordingly, those officers and parties who had not received rewards from the Commissioners of Police, were paid on Wednesday from the Treasury the following sums:—lnspector John Yates, of the M division, who had charge of the witnesses and prosecution, received £2O; Serjeant Hunt, 26 M, £10; John Wright, 63 M, £8; Police constable Baker, 141 M, £5; James Sopp, 162 M, £2; and Kirk and the other cabman £5 each. The whole of the property found on Mrs. Manning, besides the contents of the boxes discovered at the Brighton Railway Station, still remain in the possession of the police at the Stones' End station, but it is expected that within a few days the whole of it will be disposed of by the Government, who will pay the solicitors some portion of their demands, which they have memorialised for, and the remainder, if any, will most likely be handed to Mr. Edward Manning. It is supposed that the property (among which are French Routes valued at £7O) will realise £l5O.
