MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT - On Tuesday last, the barque "Clio," EASTHOPE, master, lying at Cove, in Padstow harbour, with upwards of 300 emigrants on board for Quebec, being under sailing orders, some of the passengers came up to the town to buy provisions &c. for their voyage. When about to return, two tradesmen WILLIAM BRABYN and WILLIAM KNIGHT RAWLINGS, took nine of them into a rather small boat, and there being much billow in the river, the boat on her passage to the ship upset, and W. Brabyn and W. Rawlings with five of the passengers were drowned. Brabyn has left a wife and four children, and Rawlings a wife and six children, totally unprovided for. The body of Brabyn alone had been found when our correspondent sent us the above particulars.
