Finally he mustered up courage to ask the old man to forgive him. '1 may forgive you,' answered Uncle Moses, 'but I cannot take you into my confidence just yet. 1 think you had better go home and sleep upon it.

What the pawn-broker may gain in time we cannot say ; but if he ever regains the confidence he has lost, it will be whén he has shown by his works that he regards truth and honor as of more value than the* sardid profits of snch oporatins as have heretofure soiled his hands.

Later. --Thesteamship Northern, which left at 10.30 last night, drawing only thir- feet of water, steamed down the river at her usual speed. The pilot in charge was Mr. Lachance, an oid and ef- ficient pilot, sober and industrious. He is held in high estegm for his knowledge of the pilot ground#'by almost every mer- chant, as well ag the agents here, Messrs. Ross & Co. It was ebb tide when she gut ander way, and in order to avoid the strong-eurgms when he yeached near St. Lawrence Icint Jighthéuse, close into the ile from port, he gave the wheelsman ors to change her course, and no sooner had this been done than she ran with full force upon the long rocky shoal, driving a hole in her near the bow. Then she keel- ed over and filled. The tide was rising at the time. The accident occurred about one o'clock this morning. The passengers were thrown from their bunks by the shock, and in a t a panic d, and a rush was made for the boats. Order was #gon restored. After the extent of the accident was made known, the pas- sengers were landed in boats on shore, a distance of a mile from the wreck, with. ont-any great inconvenience, ag the pight wap cleaz, and fine.' No. resscns ase 2s yet assigned, for this dreadfu] affair. Some thigk it is the fault of the wheelstiian in I'steering into shore instead of into the stream, but the thing will hardly be known until;a Court of enquiry sits upon the case At high water this morning, the wreck was totally submerged in water, and only » portion of her deck could be peen. Should a strong-east wind apring up she will go to pieces, as she is lying on a bed of rucke. The passengers will be forwarded to their destination as goon as possible. Steam. ers will be despatched this morning to save. the cargo, Latest, --The steamer Northern, Capt. Fullarton, of the Mitchell line, on her first trip to the lower ports, arrived in port from Montreal abotit eight o'clock last evening, and immediately proceeded on her way. Aboot half-past twelve, with bright clear moonlight, she ran upon the rocks off Point St. Lawrence, on the Island of Orleans, where she now lies hard snd fast, her stern and most of her main deck being under water at high tide. At low water she has seven feet under her stern, her baw being Hivos high ind dry She lig with her head down the river, at x diatinos of 4, siond's throw from the point of St. Lawrence: fig ghthoyse and shore. As to how the disaster heppened, opinions differ. Most, however, concur in casting the blame upon the pilot in charge. Still the latter bears n high re- putation for sobriety, sud was picked pur. posely by the company on account of his superior professional skill, . Qthers say that the vesselsprung a loa, and that she was advisedly run ashore. to save the passengers, of whom there were some thirty cabin and about a similar number of steerage. They were all restusd. Others again say that the stedring apparatus was out of order, thut she brcame unmanag- able, and that the pilot that brought her down from Montreal wirned the Quebec pilot of the fact. The captain however, says that he found it all right on the way round from New York. In-any case the matter calls for a most strict investigation, The cargo, which was equal to 6,000 bar- rels of flour, is under water, and at high tide the vessel is completely full. To-day she was stripped of all her cabinet furni- ture. A large number of people visited the wreck. Should an easterly gale set in the unfortunate steamer lies in a very dangerous position.
