FATE OF THE PILOT-110AT.FATRIOT.It Will be re-
collected by many of our readers that during the late
war with England the above-named pilot-boat was de-
spatched to Charleston for the purpose of bringing to this
city Mrs. Allston, lady of the then Governor of South
Carolina, and daughter of Colonel Burr, formerly Vice-
President of the United States. Mrs. Allston was in a
delicate state of health at the time, and unable to travel
by land. Timothy Greene, Esq. of this ctty, an inti-
mate friend of Governor Allston's family, proceeded to
Charleston in the pilot-boat, for the purpose of accom-
panying Mrs. Allston on the voyage. From the time
they embarked aid sailed from Charleston, no tidings
whatever had been heard of the vessel or any one on
hoard. It was at first supposed that the vessel must hate
been captured by a British cruiser, but, after a lapse of
time, that hope was abandoned. Notwithstanding the
weather was mild and favourable for several days after
the ‘cssel left Charleston, and such as to render her loss
mysterious, up to the present time no other idea of the
mekneholy circumstance had prevailed than that the
vessel must have foundered at sea, or run under during
a chase.

But the mystery is at length developed. For the
honour of human nature it were to be wished that the
facts had never been revealed, and that the following
horrible tale had been buried with the wretches who
told it:—

A gt.ntlernan recently from New Orleans has cool.

The following is the form of the letter which the
Lord Chancellor has been directed by the House of
Lords to write to every Peer, requiring their at-
tendance on the second reading of the Bill of Pains
and Penalties.

"My Lord—l am recommended by the Howse of Lords
to acquaint you, that the House expects your Lordship's
attendance upon the second reading of the Bill, entitled.

ther order of the House that no aird shall absent himself
from the service of the House on the second reading of
the said Bill, or on any of the snhsequent proceedings of
the House ueon the same, without the leave of the House,
upon pain of inclining the displeasure of the House.—l
am, my Lord, your Lordship's humble servant.
" House of Lords, July, 1620."
The galleries where the seats are erected for the
accommodation of the ladies in Westminster Hall,
who are to be present at the Coronation, are lined..
with lead. This will not only keep them cool, but
should any rain perchance to fall into the gallery
from any aperture in the roof, or elsewhere, it will
pass off through the conducts, without falling on
those Noble Lords or others who might be sitting
beneath the gallery.

A great eclipse of the sun will take place on the
7th of Sept. next. This eclipse wi:i be visible over
an extent of more than four millious square leagues,
a surface nearly equal to a sixth part of the earth,
and resembling a Lind of oval of about 7,500 leagues
i n circumference, comprising all Europe, the western
part of Asia, all Africa, as far as to Monopotar•i.
and a part of North America. The eclipse wiil
at three hours.

A Requisition is presented to the Sheriffs of Mid-
dlesex, by a great number of Freeholders, to ad-
dress the Queen, end to prepare Petitions to both
Houses against the Bill.
