waite, jou., was iu immediate attendance, and prescribed
restorative, under which Mr. Pilot soon rallied sufficiently
to express his °pinkie that the affection ones pawing off, and
that he waled uu further attendance. Within an hour,
however, a fresh summons was received by Mr. Braith-
waite, who obeyed it only to find that life had already
begun to ebb slowly away, and to wituesa its close at about
twenty iinuutes past eight o'clock. Great feebleness,

heart, is believed to have been the cause of death.
Few names were better known on the London and

many a good cause—not less in works of piety sod ben.-
