Loss of the British bark Coronet.

--Capt. Peck, of the steamer Cecile, which reached this city yesterday, from Savannah, via Beaufort, has favored us with the following, which is the substance of a note he received from Capt. F. N. Bonneau, of the Confederate States schooner Howell Cobb:

The British bark Coronet, Capt. Brown, ran ashore on the southeast end of Hunting Island shoal, on Wednesday night, the 15th inst., at 10 30, and is a total wreck; stern post and rudder gone, and eighteen feet of water in her hold. She is eight miles from the beach I boarded her on Thursday morning offering assistance, but he wanted none. I again boarded her on the 18th inst, and received the same reply. I gave him written instructions as to where he was and the bearings of Savannah, and I think he has since dispatched a boat there.

P. S.--The steamer Reliance has arrived, and placed men on board the bark, but it is too rough for them to work to-day.

The British bark Coronet was from Savannah, bound to Liverpool.--Charleston Mercury.
