The First Locomotive.—The first Locomotive in Upper Canada is expected to run to-day on the line of the Northern Railroad. The Engine, a beautiful specimen of workmanship weight twenty three tons and valued at £2230, was landed at the Queen's Wharf last week. About eleven miles of the road have been finished, and the steam will be got up to accelerate the completion of the remainder.—Vast quantities of rail are constantly arriving; and the most satisfactory evidence is given that before long the line will be full operation.—The Engine and Car will start at 3 P. M.

Toronto and Kingston Railway.—A very important meeting has held last week, in Kingston, for the purpose of giving expression to the public mind in reference to the location of the proposed line of Railroad between Kingston and Toronto. An almost unanimous express of opinion was elicited in favour of the route through the interior; the little opposition which was brought against this decision only serving to show more distinctly the superior advantages of the inland communication. A committee was appointed to draft an address (to the Executive we presume,) and to take such other steps as might be considered advisable towards a successful issue of the object contemplated.
