The following appea
impression of yesterday :

RAILWAYS.

The dividend of the Midland is to be at the-rate of 6
per cent., against 51 for the same period in 1858.
The Great Northern dividend is to be 7 per cent.
against 6k per cent.
The Times says that in the railway market yesterday,
a slight advance took place. In several instances North
British improved ti per cent. ; Caledonian and Eastern
Counties, on the other hand, receded t; per cent., and
Midland was heavy on the announcement of the pro-
posed dividend.
