THE NEW EXPRESS ENGINES,—SOMO time ago we
noticed the contract entered into between the directors
of the London and North-Western Railway Company
and Messrs. Fairbairn, of Manchester, for the construc-
tion of e number of locomotive engines, designed by
Mr. M'Coviaell, of Wolverton, for the attainment of
high speed. The positive announcement that before the
end of the year the important town of Birmingham was
to be brenght within two hours' distance of the metro-
polis, naturally excited great interest, and the construc-
tion of tlo engine has been watched with anxious atton-
!ion, nos only by its designers and constructors, but by
the mutt eminent scientific and railway engineers.
Messrs. Fairbairn have already completed the first
engine. and at the preliminary trial, which was made at
tht it establishment on Saturday last, the eatire success
of the novel principle was fully established. Without 1
at precept entering into a detailed description of this
new am lication, its extraordinary effect will be under-
stood by recording the fact that, within 45 minutes of
the time when the fires in the boiler were first lighted, a
pressure of steam equal to 1001 b. upon the square inch
was indicated. The time required for this process in
ordinary locomotives is nearly three hours. The calcu-
lated power of the new engine when running at a high
voice ty is not less than 650 horses. No doubt we shall
