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 construe-
tion of a number of locomotive engines, designed by
Mr. M'Connell, 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 brought within two hours' distance of the metro-
polis, naturally excited great interest, and the construc-
tion of the engine has been watched with anxious atten-
tion, not only by its designers and constructors, but by
the most eminent scientific and railway engineers.
Messrs. Fairbairn have already completed the first
engine, and at the preliminary trial, which was made at
their establishment on Saturday last, the entire success
of the novel principle was fully established. Without

Sir,—Mrs. Sarah Dixon, of Liquorpond. street, Roston, has
this day deposed before me that she was afflicted with ulcers

the first medical advice was procured, at the cost of a large
sum of money, she obtained no relief, but became worse.
Being advised to try your invaluable ointment and pills, she did
