SUICIDE AT SIMONToNo COVE, CAPE ELIZA
ETH.-Saturday evening. about 8 clock, Mr.
Gilman Willard went on board his vessel,
which was lying at Simontons Cove, for the
purpose of locking the vessel, preparatory to
leaving her for the night. The neighbors see
ing him on board and he not having come back
on Sunday morning, thinking all was potrisht,
went in search of him. On going ON board
the vessel they discovered his wallet lying on
the deck, and then noticed that one of the an
chors was let go. The vessel at this time was
lying to her moorings with no anchor down.
As soon as this was noticed they hove up the
anchor and found Mr.. Willard dashed to the
shank, which he undoubtedly did himself, and
after he dashed himself then cut the cat stop
per, so called, and let himself down into the
water. Mr.. Willard was a very respectable
young man. aged % years, was a me mber of
the Methodist Church, much respected and
beloved by all who knew him. This rash act
has cast gloom over the neighborhood and
the Methodist Society, and particularly in his
immediate family. Coroner Gould was imme-
diately summoned and repaired to the scene,
and will hold an inquest this morning.
On the deck of his vessel was found the fol-
lowing note: cpaarl st.s.a.sr sis sal

A NEW SToyE.-There is on exhibition at
90 Commercial street, Eatons Patent Auto
matte ventilating and regulating stove. Its
name in some good degree tells the story. The
advantages of this invention are many. The
heat can be automatically kept uniform and
regulated to any given temperature The great
saving in fuelis one of its chief characteristics
There IS no escape of noxious gases, and a
down draft takes with it any smoke or foul air
that may be in the room. Mr. Eaton. the in
ventor, estimates that ton of hard anthracite
coal Will last through the winter. We exam

The ENGLISH REFORM BILL passed the
House of Commons on the 18th ult., and went
to the House Of Lords, where it had a second
reading on the odd, Earl Derby making an
able speech in support of it. On the 10Th, as
the cable informs US, the bill was further con-
sidered and amended. The bill, as passed in
the Commons gives vote to every male house
holder who personally pays his rates. 1t en-
franchises every male ledger of full age who
has occupied one year any portion of q house,
whose yearly value, unfinished, is els. 1t
enfranchises every male householder in coun-
ties who pay e10 annually as rent. 1t enfran-
chises the graduates of London University.
and gives that institution one member; it en-
franchises the full-aged residents of Oxford
and Cambridge Universities who will vote in
the borough election of those places II pro-
vides for the notification to all of whose rates
are due. The bill protects all existing fran
chises. The Redistribution part of it disposes
of forty-five seats, which We're obtained by dis
franchisiug four boroughs convicted of gross
frauds, and taking one member from all Dor
oughs OF less than 10000 population
This Bill has been a Tory measure, and s. me
of the moderate Liberals seem uneasy about it,
but the Radicals are .jubilant. Much curiosity
has been felt to learn the position of Lord
Derby ON the question. In his speech on the
22d ult, he is reported to have said that he
was ''qddicdliy better, but rather dizzy"
In q speech at Birmingham, Mr.. Bright in

1t was Just such day as yesterday twenty
one years ago. and we remember it well, that
Rev. DIR. Carruthers was formally installed as
pastor of the Second Parish Church. A large
congregation assembled at the First Parish
Church yesterday afternoon, which has cour-
teously been granted to the Second Parish
Sunday afternoons to listen to discourse COM
memorative of the occasion, by DR.. Carruthers.
who took for his text the 18th verse of chapter
3, I'd ThessalOnians,-"But We, brethren be
not weary in well doing"
DIR. c. remarked in opening, that he could
but should not go into any recapitulation of
statistics such as are usual on such occasions.
but should confine himself to general topics of
interest relating to his society and its several
pastors, passing in rapid review the general
history of the Second Parish Church since its
establishment in 1888 by eleven persons, al
ludng to the purchase OF the Chapel Church,
and the colonization of the Third Parish
Church in 1925; If the High Street Church in
1881; of the Abyssinian of the State Street
in 1852, and the st. Lawrence Street Church
few years later. In reference to the establish
ment of the Abyssinian Church he said that
though it had been o success and worthy of
her parentage and profession, yet still he had
ever doubted the policy of separate church
by the coIored people, rather believing that as
all are one in Christ Jesus, so there should be
no distinction of tongue or color in the Chris
tian church. Allusion was then made to the
action which has been had elative to effectino
union of the Second and Third Parish
churches and societies. He thought the former
Iol Jnx,o kI,o.u IL.
for though believing that only one church of
the same polity could, for the present, be sus-
tanned in the lower and older part of the city,
and desiring to do all that could properly be
done to unite the two societies, still he consid-
cred that this Oil parent of all the other Con-
gregational churches, having long history of
its own, together with other considerations
leading in the same direction, it ought not to
be merged in or lose its identity, even in that
OF its eldest daughter. After a few practical re-
marks, he added in conclusion, that the acme
OF his satisfaction would be attained when he
could see the Second Parish settled once more
IN new house of its own, among the other ed
iiices dedicated to religion now springing up
in various parts of the city. He thanked the
First Parish for the courtesy extended to the
Second in rendering the use of their church,
and to the School Committee for the use of the
Willis School Room, which has been used for
