A century is a time span of a 100 years. Since the dating of the calender after the year of the birth of Jesus Christ, we have been using the word century to denote each 100-year period. So from day 1 of 1 A.D. through 100 A.D. was called the first (1st) century. Counting so, the 19th century means the years from 1801 A.D. through 1900 A.D.

The 19th century ran from 1801 to 1900. So the mid-19th century would be a period in the middle of that century. It could mean during several decades, like any time in the 1840s and 1850s. It could mean a narrower period. It is not a very specific term, so it depends on the context it is used. So you would know more when you hear the term in a conversation.
