Rail Roads rs.

The Wabash river is yet sufficiently fiih for steamboat navia'i m; the ke Jiere is running, though it is said to be l'sed about It) miLs aboe. The wcafher has moderated . Thf following arti :le from the Baltimore American, will contrast the expediency of rail roads with canals, when the fact is remembered, that the New York wnl has never yet produced sufficient tolls to keep it in repair, and pay over tliree per cent on its cost. "The Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio rail road company, it will be seen, have declared a dividend of two and a half yrr cent, on the estimated cost of the first diusion of the road, extending from the citv to Elliott's mills. This di iJend is declared out of the nett earnings of the ud division from the 2 Ith May lat, when he road was first opened, to the IHst December, 1.M, and is at the rate thirty-seven and a half cents per share on the capital stock. It is worthy of remark that heo profits have been derived from the use of one track only, of but thirteen miles in length; and the fact deserves alto to oe noticed, that the dividend is made w ith a reference to the cost of that portion f the road which, from causes frequently stated, has proed so very expensive in its coo'itruction.
