MELANCHOLY EVENT. -- It is our painful duty to record the calamitous intelligence of the death of Wm. Baring, of Lulworth Castle, Esq. (brother of Sir Robert Baring) and the Rev. John Bain, rector of Winfreth, and only son of Dr. Bain, of Heffleton, near Wareham, in the county of Dorset. Having on the evening of the 9th instant walked to the sea shore at Arish Mill, near the Castle, they were induced by the calmness of the sea to row out in a small boat belonging to Mr. Baring, which unfortunately upsetting, they were both drowned. This melancholy event becomes more afflictive from the circumstance of Mrs. Baring and the two Miss Bains accompanying them to the shore, and being eye-witnesses of the painful sight. While attempting to change places in the boat it upset within a hundred yards of the shore. The spring tides setting very stron off this rocky coast, probably prevented their being able to reach the shore. Mr. Baring was found in a short time, and every means used to restore animation, but it was too late. Mr. Bain's body has not yet been discovered. Mr. Baring was marriaged to Miss Thomson, the sister of Mr. Andrew Thomson, of the firm of Thomson, Bonar, and Co.

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM BARING. -- We regret to learn that a fatal accident last week befell Mr. William Baring, brother to Mr. Henry Baring. This unfortunate gentleman fell overboard, and was drowned, while on a sailing excursion near the Isle of Wight, which place he had lately visited for the benefit of his health. Mr. Blaine, the son of Sir Gilbert Blaine, was with him, and perished at the same time. This melancholy catastrophe took place in the presence of many persons on the shore, who, however, were totally without the means of affording assistance. The pleasure yacht in which they were sailing was Mr. Baring's, and had been just built, in Dorsetshire. -- Mr. Wm. Baring, and Mr. Taylor, M.P. for Wells, in Somersetshire, married two sisters of Mr. Andrew Thomson, of the firm of Thomson, Bonar, and Co.
