MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On Tuesday morn-
ing, says the Aberdeen Journal, while the screw steamer
Queen was on her passage from Granton-pier to Aberdeen
and the North, and soon after having passed the Carr-rock,
Mr. Wm. Scott, parish schoolmaster of Brydekirk, Dum-
friesshire, who is said to have been in delicate health and
low spirits, and who was on his way to visit some friends in
I Dufftown, parish of Mortlach, accidentally fell overboard
Captain Masson, on hearing of the accident, immediately
ordered the steamer, which was on full speed, to be stopped.
She then put about, and a boat lowered, but on the spot
being reached no appearance of the unfortunate man was
to be seen, and all eforts were thus in vain. The captain
I acted with coolness and promptitude, and neither he nor his
crew could have done more than they did. After the
steamer had resumed her passage, an inquiry was made by
Capt. Masson and passengers, when it was ascertained that
Mr. Scott left Brydekirk on Saturday morning, and arrived
at the house of a brother-in-law in Edinburgh the same after-
noon. His relative, finding Mr. s cott in such delicate health
and low spirits, agreed to accompany him to Aberdeen, and
see him on his way north by the train. Mr. Scott was said to
be carefully witched by his brother-in law, who frequently
recommended him to go down to the cabin, which he de-
clined doing, as he preferred the deck to enjoy the fresh
sea-breeze. He was once or twice observed to sit on the
rail of the steamer, and requested not to do so. In a
Moment his seat was vacant, and a splash was heard.
Several of the passengers saw what they supposed to be his
body from the stern of the vessel for about two minutes,
but from his appearance in the water they never entertained
a hope of his being saved, es no exertion was made by him
in any way, but that he lay motionless, and must have very
speedily gone down. Mr. Scott has left a widow and three
children to mourn his melancholy and unexpected death,
