In addition, we nre informed that tho directors of tho Grand Junc tion Company placed on thoir railway tlio best of their English Locomotive* out of iifty-two, to com pete with Mr. Norris’s.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES. It will lio rucollcctud that a contract had been en tered into hotWcon the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company, and Mr. Norris, of Phi'udelphitt, U. S., lor thu supply of locomotives for tlio Glouces ter Railway. Thu contract wns conditionally made, on tho first engine tnamifuctiired hy Mr. Norris, performing certain work agreed upon. As much mtoresi bus horn felt in this countiy witli ivl'oreticu to the contract, und ns some doubts were entertained ns to thu correctness of tlio representations nunlo respecting those engines, wo have pleasure in giv ing the following particulars ns to the engine sent ever to thi* country by Mr. Norris, ami tho work it Im* actually purl' .fined ou thu (ini ail.I miction Rail way, in conformity with the agreement in which we have alluded. " The England" weighs about eight tons, without water or fuel; she is laiilt much lowi nml smaller than tho engines couunoiily in use hot , mid has six wheels, the driving pair being four feet in diameter. The cylinders are ten ami u half in ches in diameter, nml are enclosed in proper to prevent radiation—stroke eighteen inches The machinery is tho simplest construction, mid consists of a much smaller number of par:* than we have been accustomed to see. The cylinders nre placed on the outside of the rramewnrii, which allow* the advantage of it straight axle; ami tlio general ap pearance of tlio engine more nearly resembles that of tho eld " Rocket’’ engine than any with which we nro nernmintod. The engine is’ got up in a must superior stylo, nud is finished, even to tho most minutest pnrticul&t', in u very beautiful und werkmunliRu manner J every purl having been exe cuted with perfect ucciirticy, hy menus of self-acting machinery, Asn proof, indeed, of tho mathonmti- cal correctness of the work, we tuny mention that tlio steam-tight joints nro formed simply by Iho bringing In o coutuct of metallic-surface*; the work manship of which is so true, ns entirely to super sede tho necessity of packing of any kind. The boiler is similiar to those used in engines mnnufni lured in this country, hut it contains only seventy dglittuboH, instead of from 100 to 140, tho number commonly used iu those un our railways; nml the consumption of fuel, compared with tho work pur- formed, is, we understand, vrry small. The task undertaken to lie performed by "Tho England" wn# to nm from Birmingham to Warrington, four teen journeys ouch wny, currying 100 tons in tlio gross, nml performing tlio distance, eighty miles, at tho rate of twenty m'lo* per hour, which the engine tins accomplished considerably within tho specified timooffour hour*; tho average time having been 3 hour* 50 mins.; or tlio actual running time, with out stoppages, from 3 h. 1) mins, to 3 h 10 min*. On ono occasion it i* stated that thu engino brought into Birmingham tlio enormous load of 126 tous, drawing it up tlio inclined planes withmit nny as sistance; aud on no occasion, lias it fuiled to per form the required duty, nor has even the least de rangement of any part of tho machinery taken place. It should also bo mentioned, thnt the vari ous parts w- re never put together until its arrival hi this county, when tliey were first fitted nt Liver pool, the day previous to making a trip; nor hn# n tool been a pplird to the engine since situ wus first sot up.

We hava long known and respected Mr. Bruce a* nn huneat, in telligent, and industrious nmn; faithful in all his dealings, and desorving of tho confidence of tlio com munity. We have made n careful examination of tho enuso of the accident, nnd will state the fact* as a w arning to orirnrs. Mr. Bruce was charging an upright fountain of mend, which stood ujain threo leg* fastened upon one of the goliulur ends; the stop cock lining upon the upper end. Tlio gn* wn* gene rated in an nppnrntus rinse hy, and comninnicnted to the fountain tlituughu lead pipe, and forced in a sufficient quantity hy iu own expansibility, without the process of pumping. There was no gunge, or |iro]iei apparatus fur uscortnining tho pressure, and it was mostly hy a loose ostitnnto that ho determined when there wus a sufficient ciunntity of gas forced into tho fountain, or whether there was a* much as it would, or ought to contain. Uiidcrtho-o circumstances, as hn stood with his head over the fountains tho gas silently escaped from this generator, iniblt, tho bottom wn* rent off, and tlio main body was thrown up, to tho ceiling, which it broke in, buried itself, nn.l now rotnuins.— The part below formed tho globular ond. By a 'fid examination of this fact, it appealed that whore ono of thu lugs hud been put on, there was an original defect in the copper, mid a considerable quantity of solder had been put over the weak place nn tho inside, while tho leg hud been sndered on the outside. No other defect could b» discerned by tbo eye; aud front tlio nature of the rent, it seemed that it must have connected there, and torn off in nearly n horizontal direction The rent was mnde with fnir bright copper, nil round, nnd ragged edges. The fault origmated in a mistake of the manufac turer, who supposed that the soldering would re medy the defect in tho copper; and oven if the pres sure’ hud been correct tho accident might, at any tnotncul, have happened. A man stood near by, assisting Mr. Bruce, who wns thrown down by tliooxplosioii, but was not in jured. Mr Coburn, who keeps the cellar in front, ran immediately nnd found the assistant endeavour ing to raiso Mr. Bruce from tho floor. The lower part of tho fountain as it was canted by tho pipe must havo struck Mr. Bruce in tho fore head just above tho oyo brows, when tho skull, as was expressed by tho surgeon, was broken to " pumice," and a po.lion of tho brain fell out ovor the nrm. Within a moment, two or three respira tions of nir were made from the lungs, nnd ho died immediately, apparently without suffering. Tho great demand for his beverage linil kept him exceed ingly busy all day, but this tcrriblo accident has put an und to ull his labor.

Napoleon, who thought tlm house wus foiling over his head, and (hut the devil had cornu to strangle him, was thrown by the itrpotiis of the demon.
