This Company has been fored under extensive patronage for the purpose of meeting the great and pressing demand of that large and increasing class of Lomon "Diners-out," for a good dinner with efficient attendance, and at moderate prices. The want of such an establishment on a la• ge scale has for a long period been seriouily *R. The Directors have, therefore, secured the Hungerford Hall, which is in immediate proximity to one of the central stations of the omni bus traffic of London. close to the Western nucleus of the steam-boat traffic at Hungerford-pier, and otherwise favourably situa* ed. It is proposed to fit it up as an ancient hall of chivalry, and care will be taken to insure historical accuracy, so that visitors will be at tracted, not only by the peculiar advantages of a good dinner at a moderate price, but by a desire to see what the Hall is intended to be —one of the Sights of London. It will be necesary to say a few words respecting the profits which it is anticipated will accrue. It is well known that in a busi ness of this nature (a purely cash trade) the rate of interest re turned upon the money Invested is very high, and calculations in de tail, having been carefully made by competent persons, clearly show the directors are right in stating the profits at 'at per cent. The ori ginal ow lay,comprising purchase of lease of premises. plate, linen, &.c., WI I be considerably under 8,0001., including a carefully-selected cellar of wine. The amount of the shares themselves is small, and designedly so, in order that all classes may participate in their proprieto•ship. For detailed prospectuses and forms of, application for shares, ap ply to the secretary, at the offices of the Company, Hungerford Hall, Strand. THE COMING CABINET MEETINGS AND CABEVET MEASURES. The first of November draws near, and with it the members of the cabinet, and the heads of the different departments, will soon attend to the business of the nation. Many will sigh at being obliged to return to bard work ; but whilst Lord Palmerston remains Pre mier all must make up their minds to follow in his wake in a determination to get througlebusiness. One of the great causes why so many measures brought in by the Government have hitherto bad to be abandoned is that they have been prepared by the different departments at so late a period that it is impossible to pass them the same session. They are frequently brought in in a crude and undigested state, and, with the exception of those who have immediate charge of them, the other members of the Government know as little about their details as the opposition. This drawback to business was peculiarly felt last session, when bill after bill was withdrawn, to the delight of the operation and the annoyance of the Government. Lord Palmerston, however, determined to introduce a thorough reform in this respect, and it was ordered that those departments which had any tells to introduce next session, should he ready, by the Ist Nov. next, to submit them to the cabinet, who will meet twice or thrice a week until Parliament re-assembles. By this course, it is hoped, that, instead of the months of Feb ruary, March, and April, being frittered away, bills will be introduced as soon as Parliament meets, and that be fore Easter many important measures will be so advanced as to pass in the month of May, instead of at the close of the session in August, or perhaps not passed at all. Last session the massacre of the innocents, as it is called, was considerable, but many of these measures will he again brought forward, and it is anticipated with somea hat happier results. The General Board of Health introduced four bills last session—namely, the Puhln Health Amended Bill, the Burial Bill, the Vaccination Bill, and the Medical Profession Bill, which, one after the other, were rejected. It is, however, proposed to re-introduce them with amendments next session. The Public Health Bill was thrown out because the recom mendations of the select committee were not sufficiently adhered to ; perhaps this time the omission will be recti fied. The Vaccination Bill was rejected on account of its compulsory character, and of statements made by seve ral members,' that doubts were entertained by a certain portion of the medical profession as to the efficiency of vaccination. The bill next session will, as soon as it is introduced, be referred to a select committee. It may pass, but it is very doubttul. The Medical Profession Bill will also be again brought forward, but, from the difficulty of getting the members of the medical profes sion to agree among themselves, it stands a chance of following the same fate as before. This will be about the twelfth measure of the kind that has been brought forward at least. The Burials Bill will probably pass if the Public Health Btll is carried. The Board of Trade will again bring forward those measures which were shelved last session after having been referred to select committees. The bill for obtaining agricultural statis tics will also be int ro d uce d a t an ear l y period of the ses sion, and will be referred to a select committee, with the view of ascertaining the best means of obtaining accurate information without having recourse to inquisitorial pro ceedings. Originally it was proposed that the collection of facts should be obtained through the Poor Law Board, and from the vast machinery which the board has at their disposal throughout the country, this would be the most natural course to pursue. It seems, however, that the Pour Law Board is not very popular with the far mers, and several large landholders, among whom is the Earl of Derby, recommend the statistical department of the Board of Trade as the best medium to obtain the information. It is feared, however, that the new ma chinery they would have to create would be of too costly a character. There is another department which might procure it with but little trouble and cost— viz., the Registrar General's department. The whale of the country is divided into districts and sub die tricts, with proper officials appointed, throneh whom th e last teems was tak<zu ; and, next to the P , .-or Law Board, this, would anear to be the belly u,rst available. Ore nf the great questions that will oct,upy the rttention of the Cabinet before Parliament meets will be the sub ject of education ; already three eminent statesmen have prepared and submitted plans to Pariatnerit, and it will be the duty of Government to decide which of the three methods they will adopt, if they adopt any. The vexed question of Church rates will stand the chance of being in the same position at the end of meet session as it was at the end of the last, for the subject is not yet B"inel ently ripe fur the Government to introduce a measure. The Metropolis Local Management Act will require to be amended, difficulties having intervened as to raising sufficient funds to meet the heavy amounts that will be requited in a short time. The Lord Chancellor and the law officers of the Crown, both in England and Ireland, will have to be ready with measures early in the session, founded on the voluminous evidence taken before the select committee. The Home Secretary will once again have to deal with the corporation of the City of London ; and, it is expected, with more success than last year. These are a few of the measures that are now in prepara tion, and will be ready for consideration when the cabinet meets in November.— Observer. L i oN , AlO DIY EVENING, OCTOBER I_o, 1856. crowd, through the trees, and along the paths thronged with well-dressed people, it was ghastly to see the festive wreathed pillars of light and the garlanded lamps, at Vauxhall, shining at such a moment, like mistimed merri ment at a funeral, where death and mourning, and the terrible uncertainty and agony of those who had friends known to be in the building were now assuming a painful ascendancy. To revert to the alarm. Those who had rushed first from the hall made their way in panic to the gates, which they found closed. These making the story known to the people outside, the gates were at once borne down with a rush, and a new element added to the terror and confusion.. Fresh crowds poured into the hall. As they tramped hur riedly up the grand walk the noise they made gave occa sion to a new panic, which Mr. Spurgeon vainly attempted to tranquilise by another hymn. An attempt was then male to resume the sermon, and it will hardly be believed that even at this period the earnest entreaty of several gentlemen could not prevent many well-dressed ladies, young and old, from dragging in their husbands and bro thers "to hear the sermon." At last, on the remonstrance of tha inspector in attendance, " that he was hindered in removing the dead by the crowding of the people," a gentleman took upon himself to explain the exact position of affairs to Mr. Spurgeon, who immediately " dismissed his congregation." To set them in motion, to clear first the galleries and then the hall, to break up the groups loitering in the gardens and about the carriage road, to stop ingress and secure egress, was the work of much' labour and time, facilitated, however, as it here was, by the arrival of a strong body of police. The next point was to get out the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon— to secure him Se ww> Matt the too forger care of his own " feilond4," as from the possible, and by no means im probable, indignation of the excited mob, who might per haps have regarded him as the cause of a calamity which, fearful as were its consequences, they had already greatly exaggera t e d . Th e rev . gentleman was found stretched upon the ground in a state of great mental prostration, and, finally, by the assistance of one of the firemen of the gardens, was convoyed through the cooking department to a private exit, where a cab having boon procured ho do ps,rted in safety for his residence. The particulars of, and the names of the parties killed and wounded; so far as they can be obtained in such a time of excitement, will be found below, with such other ac counts as may reach us in time for press. The following sufferers have been identified at the New. ington workhouse :-- Elizabeth Mead, married woman, aged 40 years, of 7, Love•la,ne, Stockwell. Harriet Barlow, single woman, aged 24 years. Ann Mathews, married woman, aged 35 years; and Samuel Hand, aged 40 years. Grace Skipper, married woman, of 40, Dobson-terrace, Now-street, Kennington, was brought out dead, and con , veyed to her own residence. Among the seriously injured are— of Grange-road, B ermon d sey ; broken thigh. mas Pearse, Mary Aldis, of 10, Mansion - house-terrace, Kennington elightly injured. Ellen Stanton, of 5, Penton-grove, Pentonville; slightly in j ared. lane, B ermon d sey ; ser i James Arthur, of 100, Long. ously injured. In the confusion resulting upon the accident it was, of course, difficult to obtain an accurote list of the injured parties. It is, however, certain there are many other wounded persons in addition to the above list; and it is currently reported that two other persons —a man and a boy—are included in the fatal casualties. A EURTHER ACCOUNT. The following account has been furnished to us by one of the gentlemen connected with the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon : A dreadful calamity occurred last evening at the Music Hall in the Surrey-gardens. In consequence of the refusal of the Exeter Hall committee to allow Mr. Spurgeon the use of that building, it was determined to rent the above edifice, and the novelty of the service attracted an immense audience. The service was commenced, and proceeded, with occasional slight interruptions, until the second prayer, during the course of which the large congrega. tion were reclining in prayer, a noise which resembled the rumbling of wheels approaching the building was heard— a confused hum of voices—which gradually merged into loud shrieks of " Fire ! Fire !" filled the place, and crowds rushed to every door tad outlet of escape. It. was dur ing this terrible scene that the catastrophe occurred. Persons from the galleries in large masses fled to the stairs, and unfortunately the balustrading of the staircase gave way, and several persons fell, among whom five were im mediately killed. Mr. Spurgeon, overcome with emotion, was unable to proceed, and Ones of "Go on," "Preach on," only elicited from him an observation that he did not know what to say to them. A. gentleman here directed the audience to go out at a certain door, intimating that pass age from the other was impeded by the dead bodies. This completed the dreadful scene. Mr. Spurgeon was utterly overcome, and was assisted down by several gentlemen, witk his head sunk on his breast, and apparently insensible• Several of the individuals who spread the cry w ere appre hended by the police. I satisfaction, and cries arose from every part of the hall of "Go on, preach." After a short delay, The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon then said—My friends, what shall I preach about? You bid me preach to-night. lam ready to do all I can, but in the midst of all this confusion what shall be my subject? May God's Holy Spirit give me a subje c t on thi s so l emn occas ion. My friends, there is a terrible day corning, when the terror and alarm of this evening shall be as nothing. That will be a time when the thunder and lightning and blackest darkness shall have their fullest power ; when the earth shall reel to and fro beneath us; and when the arches of the solid heavens shall totter to their centre. The day is coming when the clouds shall reveal their wonders and portent, and Christ shall sit upon those clouds in glory, and shall call you to judg ment. Many men have gone away to-night in the midst Of this terrible confusion, and so shall it been that great day. I can, however, believe that the results of that day will show that there will be a great many—not a less proportion than those who now remain to those who have left—who will stand the ordeal of that great day. The alarm which has just arisen has been produced in some measure by that instinct which teaches us to seek self-preservation. But in the more numerous of the cases it is not so much the dread of death who has influenced them, as the dread of some thing afterwards —that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller returns. 'Tis conscience that makes cowards of them. Many were afraid to stop here, because they thought it was to stop and be damned. They were aware—and many of you are aware—that if you were hur ried before your Maker ;to-night, you would be brought there unshriven, unpardoned, and condemned. But what are your terrors now to what they will be_ on that terrible day of reckoning of the Almighty, when the heaven shall shrink above you, and hell open her month beneath you? 'But knowyou not, my friends, that grace, sovereign grace, can yet save you? Have you never heard the welcome news that Jesus came into the world to save sinners? You aro the chief among sinners. Believe that Christ died for you, and you may be saved from the torments of hell that await you. Do you not know that you are lost and ruined—that none but Jesus can do the sinner good ? You are sick and diseased. Jesus can do you good, and will. I thought this night of preaching from the text " The curio of the Lord is in the house of tho wicked, but he blesseth the habitation of the just." I feel I cannot preach as I wish. You will have another alarm yet, and I would rather that some of you would seek to retire gradually, in order that no harm may be done. My text will be found in the 3d chapter of Pro verbs, at the 33d verse. The rev. gentleman had just re peated the words of the text, when another panic ensued, and the most terrific confusion took place. Comparative silence was again obtained, after a singing of a part of another hymn, when the rev. gentleman pro ceeeded to comment upon his text, and after saying that although his congregation might suppose that there were fifty classes of persons, there were in the eyes of God but two, the righteous and the wicked. God knows nothing of any olass save the righteous and the wicked, the wicked and the just. Here the agitation and tremor of the preacher became 'painfully visible, and he broke off his discourse by saying, " You ask me to preach, but how can leiter this terrible scene ? My brain is in a whirl, and I scarcely know where I am, so great are my apprehensions that many persons must have bean injured by rushing out. I would rather that you retired gradually, and may God Almighty dismiss you with his blessing, and carry you in safety to your homes. If our friends will go out by the central doors, we will sing while. they go, and pray that some good may yet como out of this great evil after all. Do not, however, be in a hurry. Let those nearest the door go first. The second verse of the hymn, previously announced, " His sovereign power without our aid," was given out, and many persons began to leave the hall. At the conclusion of the hymn, Mr. Spurgeon once more addressed the crowd and said; "This event will, I trust, teach us the necessity of having a building of our own. We thought wo had a sufficient number of police present to preserve order. But we have been disappointed. When mice a cry is raised to serve the purpose of thieves, you all run away like silly sheep, and thus create the confusion which it is the object of those parties to create and profit by. Now that you are a little more calm, let us begin again ; but while I am preaching let our friends retire gradually from the My text was, ' The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked, but he blesseth the habitation of the just.' I was saying, my friends, just now, that God knew of none but two classes of persons—the righteous and the wicked. God judges not by the outward ironclad, but by the heart. Like a wise physician, he looks not to the skin, but to the innermost parts of the body. However fair may be the out ward appearance, it was seen, to the eye of God, but as a green and sorry tomb, where the worm and corruption lurk within. Hy friends, many good sorts of persons, so called, must be classed among the wicked. It may be that persons of this class may regularly attend the house of God, and even join in a prayer to him, but alas ! there may be nothing in the heart pleasing to God." The preacher's agitation had uow reached a most distressing point, and, after a pause, he said, " I am attempting an impossibility ; it is impossible for me to preach to you this night. I know not how to speak to you." One of the deacons here shouted out, " Another signs, has now been given from the galleries, bat do not becom excites ; there is nothing to fear." In spite of this warning another rush was made, and numbers of persons, smashing the windows of the ground floor, made their exit into the gardens. Mr. Spurgeon exclaimed, " God be pleased to pardon those who have done this great wrong ; retire quietly, my friends, and may God carry you home in safety !" Having pronounced the benediction, Mr. Spur geon, accompanied by several of his deacons, withdrew, exhausted and agitated, as may well be supposed, after the extraordinary scene which he had witnessed. After his retirement ono of the deacons said that although no sermon had been preached, still the largo expense of the hall must be paid, and ho hoped on leaving the congrega tion would not omit to aid by their contributions in defray- ing the charge. Police-constable Radcliffe, of the P division, exerted himself in the most praiseworthy manner to control the downward lush of the frantic crowd out of the building. By sheer force he extricated one or two ladies from the most perilous position; and rendered timely ant valuable assistance to several others who were in. a fainting and wounded state. Had it not been for the precautions taken by Mr. Diggings, the superintendent of the gardens, in shutting the outer gates when he conceived a sufficient number to fill the hall hud been admitted, it is impossible to say how much greater amount of injury might not have been caused by the increased pressure of the crowd. Long before six o'clock tho entrance gates were closed and locked, to the great annoyance of a dense crowd, who were anxious to obtain admission, and not loss to the chag rin of those who had obtained access within the enclosure, and were anxious to make their escape. As soon as the alarm was given the gates were thrown or forced open, and the rush was so tremendous that the besieging crowd were obliged to give way before the impetuous torrent. The screams of women and children were most awful. Many persons were carried away in a state of total insensibility; a considerable number whose limbs had been fractured were carefully removed by those who had escaped injury ; and, as will be seen from the accounts above given, several lives have been lost. Immense numbers of people remained in the neighbourhood until a very late hour, inquiring after their relatives and friends, respecting whose fate they were in a state of painful uncertainty. We may add that the publicans in the vicinity of the Gardens reaped a rich harvest from the excitement consequent upon Mr. Spur geon's appearance, and there can be no doubt that the light-fingered gentry did not lose the opportunity of profit ing by the occasion. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. EIGHT PERSONS KILLED AND SIXTY INJURED. The announcement that it was the intention of the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon to preach in the great Music Hall of the Royal Surrey Gardens yesterday evening, occasioned great excitement in that particular portion of the religious world who have imagined fur themselves the appearance crfayounger Whitfield in the juvenile enthusiastic preacher from Waterbeach, and the blast of the trumpet that shall rouse to a new awakening in his impulsive and singularly exciting die ourses. St. John's Chapel, Palk-street, which holds a thousand auditors, had been found insufficient; Exeter Hall had repulsed from its over crowded vestibules a large surplus beyond the 3 000 which it admitted to lis ten to Mr. Spurgeon ; but at last the opportunity was afforded of satisfying the many thousand souls hungering for the word ; the Music-hall at the Surrey -gardens, capa ble of containing 10,000 people, was secured, and the in tense longing of the multitude might be satisfied. The excitement, as we have said, was great in conse quence. The preacher, with his remarkable style and man ner—"grave, gay, grotesque, solemn, fanciful, and even coarse caricature, provoking the broadest laughter, yet with touches of deep pathos and sublime appeal to the most sacred feelings"—the scene, the multitude, with the elec tric sympathy excited—the building, so newly devoted to festive occasions and scenes of lighter enjoyment, the bril liant lights, the animation and novelty of the whole, gave a character to the occasion which it required not the more grave consideration, such as Mrs. Stowe makes her hero Clayton enunciate in the following passage, to warm up to even a high pitch of enthusiasm, but little known and still less expected in View) days - ,of cold-reasoning "Isn't/it beibter,'Y'liald Clayton; " to be wrought up once in a while, than never to have any religious feelings. Isn't it better to have a vivid impression of the vastness and worth of the soul—of the power of an endless life, for a few hours once a year, than never to feel it at all ? The multitudes of these people there never hear or think a word of these things at any other time in their lives." If such were the feelings of the many who went to hear, and of those who had taken care that an opportunity should be afforded them for hearing—there was unfortunately another class who sought the Surrey Gardens last night only as a place of amusement, now for the first time thrown open to them gratis, with this single exception in the pro gramme of amusements, that the part of M. Jullien was to be performed on this occasion by Mr. Spurgeon. It was to the attendance of this class, and to the outrageous conduct of some of this class, in their idle love of mischief, that the fatal consequences which followed may be attributed. The internal appearance of the great Music Hall is well known. Its arrangements for exit and entrance have been found sufficient for 14,000 persons, who at one time during the late season were accommodated in the interior of the building. Its construction unites an extreme lightness of appearance with great strength ; nor, so far as the building itself is concerned, has anything occurred even in what we are about to narrate, to deteriorate in any respect from the solidity and safety of the edifice. The hall is entered by three wide doors—one in the centre and one at each side— at which latter are also the vomitories or exits of the stair• cases leading from the three tiers of galleries. These stair' cases are of stone, with a light iron balustrade, surmounted by a mahogany hand-rail, and are of a spiral form, running up each tower at the extremity of the building. So much for the locale. In the interior a pulpit had been erected ) rather to the left side of the orchestra, but in its immediate front, and rising almost to a level with the first gallery. From half-past five o'clock the roads and streets loading to the Surrey Gardens were thronged ; at six the gates were opened ; and before half-past six the hall and galleries were filled with a dense assemblage of people ; the vestibule afforded space to an eager assemblage, while about tke doors a bustling eager mob were jostling and urging for ward for a chance of hearing, if not admission. To one entering the gardens from the carriage road which runs up opposite to the fall length of the building, the scene at this moment might have recalled the Camp Meeting in " Dred," so great was the concourse and excite- meat, while a flood of light poured through the many win dows, and the singing of the hymn resounded among the trees. " Brethren, don't you hear the sound— The martial trumpet now is blowing ; Men in order 'listing round, And soldiers to the standard flowing." As the sound of the hymn rolled through the aisles and the arches of the woods, the heads of different groups who had been engaged in conversation were observed turning towards the stand, and voices from every part of the camp ground took up the air, as, suiting the action to the words, they began flowing to the place of preaching. The hymn went on keeping up the same martial images— " Bounty offered, life and peace, To every soldier this is given ; When the toils of life shall cease, A mansion bright prepared in heaven." As the throng pressed up and came crowding from the distant aisles of the wood the singers seemed to exert them selves to throw a wider vehemence into the song, stretch ing out their arms and beckoning eagerly. They went On singing : " You need not fear, the cause is good, Let who will to the crown aspire; In this cause the martyrs bled, And shouted victory in the fire. In this cause let's follow on, And soon we'll tell the pleasing story, How by faith we won the crown, And fought our way to life and glory. Oh, yo rebels, come and 'list, The officiers are now recruiting; Why will you in sin persist, Or wasto your time in vain disputing ? All excuses now are vain, For, if you do not sue for favour, Down, you'll sink to endless pain, And bear tho wrath of God for ever." There is always something awful in the voice of the mul titude. It would seem as if the breath that a crowd breathes out together in moments of enthusiasm carried with it a portion of the dread and mystery of their own immortal natures. A flood of electrical excitement seemed to rise with it as with a voice of many waters the rade chant went on : " Hark the victors singing loud ! Einma,nuel's chariot wheels are rumbling, Mourners weeping through the crowd, And Satan's kingdom down is tumbling." Such was the scene outside, such the enthusi?.stn within —when on a sudden, from the hysterical scream and sub sequent fainting of a female in the gallery to the loft of Mr. Spurgeon and at the further end of the building—a commotion ensued above; the people at the doors cried " Fire"—[there really had been a strong smell of fire a few minutes previously] —others called out, " the building, the building is falling !" and then—from above, in the galleries in the hall, from all sides, rose a volley of screams and shrieks, and a terrific rush followed. The preacher paused in terror. Viewed from the or chestra'the body of the ball presented a scene of dire con fusion and agonised excitement—the people tossed and tore each other in terror. Fortunately, from the floor being encumbered by seats, a moment's obstruction was given to the rush. That moment saved the lives of many who would have been overwhelmed in the tremendous pell-mell hasten ing the furious onset towards the doors. This one instant gave timo for more tranquil observation. The preacher recovered himself, implored silence, assured the people of safety, and then, while the shrieks and screams still re sounded, and terrible groans wero beginning to be heard, even at that moment he set up a hymn, which, at first loudly chanted from the orchestra, soon spread itself over the troubled congregation in the body of the hall, who now seeing the roof still above them, and the galleries still crowded with listeners, anxious and terror-stricken, yet eagerly hanging upon the preacher's words, thus encou gaged, joined in the hymn of praise and faith, and thu s uttering that praise and faith found safety in that confi dence. Not so in the galleries. There a rush was made at the circular staircase on the right side, facing the entrance. Down this a stream of frightened men, women, and chil dren poured, rushing on in terror, and impelled "from be hind by crowds in still greater alarm. Turning upon the stairs of the second gallery, a slight curve is made by the ballustrades. Hero, unfortunately from the over whelming pressure, the mahogany hand-rail broke, and the balustrades, thus loosened, gave way ono after the other for about three yards. Urged on, driven, pushed down by the surging crowd above—those below came on, aq it were, with certain death belle their eyes—and ere they could restrain themselves fell over the side, down the well staircase, on to the stone floor beneath. The first that tumbled over was a well dressed woman, who struck upon her head, and died without a groan ; the second, another respectably -dressed female, who fell screaming in a n agony, with a child clasped in her arms; then came another woman—then two men, clutching eagerly at each other, at the stones, at air, as the 3 sank into the abyss ; others, followed, toppling over each other ; while, above, a fight, a fierce fight was furiously raging for life, between those from above and those below ; the first still striving to come down, the others struggling to stand still, or get up wards. Meantime the crowd from the end of the ball be low were rushing round the passage, forcing their way outwards over the dead and dying. The groans and screams were such as might be fancied of Pandemonium. At last appeared a policeman, then anether—then came a pause in the rush—and then a woment, if not of silence and order, of better disposition and less fearful selfishness. Yet above all, arose the hymn of praise. And now, as some of the dead bodies were borne Along through the ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The announcement that Mr. Spurgeon was to preach last night in the large Music-hall of the Surrey Gardens, drew together one of the largest congregations which has proba bly ever been assembled under one roof for the purpose of hearing a sermon. Long before 5 o'clock thousands had gathered around the entrance to the gardens, and before six as many persons were admitted into the grounds as it was thought the building would contain, the supposed ex cess of numbers being excluded by the outer gates in Pen ton-place and the other entrances to the gardens. The im mense space was perfectly filled in the body and lower gal leries, but in the upper ones there was accommodation for several hundreds of persons. The proceedings commenced at half-past 6by the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon taking his stand in an elevated rostrum erected in front of the stage for the orchestra, which was reached by a small temporary stair case. The first portion of the service commenced by sing ing one of Watts' hymns. This was followed by the read ing of the 16th chapter of St. Luke, containing the para ble of Dives and Lazarus, the preacher commenting upon the different portions of the narrative as he proceeded. Then followed an extempore prayer, during the early por tions of which an awe-inspiring silence reigned over the vast congregation. Continuing his prayer, the rev. gen tleman proceeded to refer to the various classes of sinners present, the profligate man, the scoffer, the swearer, end the infidel, and the sceptic, for all of whom he invoked the forgiveness of an offended Deity ; and then came a refer ence to the young woman who might have disregarded the warnings of a fond mother, and whose conduct was bring ing her aged father with sorrow to the grave. At this stage, a faint scream was heard ; there was a rustle and commotion to see the source whence it issued, some cries of " Fire !" and " The building ! the building !" were heard, and then ensued one of those scenes of terror and panic which baffle all the powers of description. Every one rose from their seats, those Dearest to the door rushed out screaming and shrieking with wild affright ; those in the centre of the hall bore down on others nearer the places of exit; the lower tiers of windows were smashed out, and hundreds half-fainting and delirious leaped out, while others fainting or in fits fell and were mangled by the rushing im petuous crowd. In the galleries the scene was even more distressing ; the winding staircase were choked with hun dreds flying from what they conceived im m i nent death the the i ron ra ili ngs gave , y po ni n ho th w o e s r e e b l e i l a o s w t e . n ß i n u g t presented one o f the fromsub met t t h h e e s g tr r e o a u m nd s o fi f oo a r ff , r a igh po te r d tio p n eo o p f l e l aw i t D e o' s m t a ne o nd f t a n l tu l hl s ne p bv e a r c a t ss a t w c c l e e o r s ne - 8 Pr a er g g e ac a ti t pi h oi e nt gathering ol thousands of human beings ; now the scene wes of the lowest d escr i ption, and ow n n ed scen e , Mr. preservation. T urged forward by an uncontrollable impul se o f self-preser vation, every one of that vast crowd, reg ar dl ess of injury toothers, were t only o cal o mn thetheir excit e d x o c Spur geon and some of his deacons commenced s i ng i ng " Praise God from whom all blessings flow," but th e soun d s of die_ cord which accompanied the singing compl e t e l y d rowned all R order, i f iu possible, tent the efforts of the singers. There were shouts and screams and violent cries ; shoats of " sit down," " keep your seats," "false alarm," and " take care of your pockets," and other assuring exclamations of a sniffler character. At length the perseverance of those engaged in singing bad the desired effect, and the fears of the crowds as to the safety of the building, or the existence of fire subsided. The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon at length made himself heard, and stated that the false alarm had been raised by thieves, and begged those ;present to remain quiet in their seats, and not aid in the disturbance which it was the object of those parties to create, and gave out the hymn, " Salvation —oh the joyful sound." While this hymn was being sung another confusion arose, and glass was heard smashing in all directions, and one of the deacons ascended the rostrum and said, " This gathering to-night .has aroused Satan, and he will not allow the service to go oa without; endeavour ing to interrupt it." Again Mr. Spurgeon stood forward and said, " Lot us praise God in the midst of this confu sion once morn," and gave out the lines of the version of the 100th Psalm, " Before Jehovah's awful throne." By the time the first verso was sung many hundreds had quitted the building, but ithousands still lingered, some paralysed with fright, and others fearing t o f ace the enor mous pressure of the crowd outside th e b uilding. Mr. Spurgeon again addressed the 'assembly and said, " Will our good friends retire as quietly as possibl e , an d may G o d forgive these.who have been.the authors of this confusion. I cannot preach to you now, but we will sing you out, and go as gradually and as quietly as possible." The announce ment that he would not preach appeared to give great dis. ANOTHEA ACCOUNT. The scenes that took place last night (Sunday) in the Surrey Music Hall attached to the Royal Surrey Gardens wore such as can with difficulty be described, and which will long bo remembered by the many thousands who locked to the place for the purpose of hearing the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon preach a sermon in the new hall. The ob ject of the rev. gentleman and his friends taking this building was for the twofold purpose of making known his religious views, and also for raising a sum of money to build a new chapel, or, as he terms. it, a new tabernacle, sufficiently spacious to seat the many thousands of his hearers, Exeter-hall having been found too small to accom modate half of the persons who regularly attended his ministry. The consequence was that thus the largest ball in or near the metropolis was engaged by the gentlemen connected with New Park-street Chapel for three or four Sunday evenings; and, although no charge was made for admission, •it was publicly placarded and advertised in most of the daily papers that a collection would be made at the conclusion of every sermon to defray the 'expenses o the hall and also for raising funds to erect the new tabor- ladle. This appears not in the least degree to have decreased the curiosity of the public, for as early as five o'clock, one hour and a-half before the time announced for the service to commence, thousands after thousands of well -dressed persons, including men and women, and also a large num ber of children, could be seen wending their way towards the gardens; and before the clock struck the hour of six there must, at a moderate calculation, have been 5,000 or 6,000 persons waiting in Penton-street — the carriage -ways leading to the entrance of the gardens, and indeed almost every foot of vantage ground near, was literally besieged by parties anxious to obtain admission. 13y five minutes after six o'clock the whole of the three spacious galleries were filled, the orchestra was also densely crowded, in front of which, it should be stated, was erected the pulpit in which the rev. gentleman was to prea4 from. By the time he took his neat, notwithctand• [ e;001 , 4D. STAMPED D Jog the immense size of the place, there was not sufficient roon i for a dozen more to enter, and when the seats were filled there were some two or three thousand persons whe were content to stand in the passages, and there were con siderably more standing on the green award outside, look ing through tho windows ; but whether they were able to hear anything w hich the rev, gentleman propounded is unknown to any one who was fortunate enough—or what would perhaps under the circumstances be better to say, unfortunate—to get within the building. A hymn was given out, and the sermon commenced. Affmor dilating at considerable length upon the Gospel, an• other hymn was sting, when Mr. Spurgeon offered up an otherprayerin which he alluded to certain persons whom be knew, ho said, to be present, who had backslided from the house of God, when he said he could see present many females who had departed from the paths of virtue, and were bringing their fathers' grey hairs with sorrow to the grave. The exciting manner that the preacher was in the act of delivering the prayer appeared to rivet the attention o f a ll present, and many an eye, could be seen shedding tears, when all of a sudden a cry was raised, " The place is on &le." Such a scene as then ensued would be out of the queotiou accurately to describe. In an instant the screams of the women rent the building, thousands made a rush to the doors, and in their anxiety mtog,etwoernetfmoracneLyi wo men and children, not even excepting en down and trampled upon. The persons on the platform in vain tried all they could to induce the congregation to understand that no danger was to be apprehended pro. vided the parties kept their places, but such was the ex citement consequent upon tho sudden a1arna...0314.-raised *At not, womon, end children were forced down in ter- rible confusion and being trampled upon. It will be seen from the following that several lives have been lost, and vast numbers seriously if not fatally injured. The preacher, finding that it was utterly impossible to quell the disturbance, called upon those under the pulpit to sing " Praise God from whom all blessings flow." The .choristers immediately did as they were desired, but without the least beneficial effect, and men in the upper galleries commenced breaking the windows and jumping out. At the same time a general rush was made to run down stairs, and in doing so so great was the pressure against the banisters of the staircase leading to the north gallery that the same were forced down, and as the par ties made a rush to escape they kept falling over each other and alighted upon the ground, a distance of at least 7 or 8 feet. Hero the poor sufferers laid, being trampled upon by those who were more fortunate to escape with their lives. At the same time a general onslaught was made on the glass doors on the ground floor ; and after demolishing the doors and large sheets of plate glace, parties near crowded through the apertures thus made the best way they could, but in so doing many persons' heads were much cut, and several received broken legs and arms, and they were un able to move either ono way or the other owing to the serious nature of the injuries they had received, and after being trodden upon by numerous parties they were extricated by Mr. Superintendent Lund of the P division, and a powerful body of constables, whom he immediately sent for. Had it not been for the aid thus rendered there is no doubt that the loss of life would have been far more serious than it really has been. Mr. Spurgeon, finding that it was impossible to obtain anything like quietude, commenced singing again, in which the congregation on the platform joined most fervently; but even this had no effect, and doors, windows, chairs, and benches could be heard breaking, which had all the effect of inducing persons in the place to believe that the building really was on fire. This caused another general rush towards the doors, and a, scene equally as bad as the former ensued, and men, women, and children were again cast down and trampled upon. The shrieks and screams again became fearful ; and in spite of those on the platform to convince the congregation that the building was perfectly safe, the rush continued, and as the persons came down stairs they continued to fall over that part of the staircase that had been forced away, by which it is roughly estimated that upwards of fifty persons were injured. We regret to state that fiom the official information furnished to the re porter by Mr. Lund, the superintendent of police, not fewer than five women and one man are known to have perished by the melancholy catastrophe. One of the de• ceased was named Grnce Skipper, of No. 40, Dobson street, Kennington ; another was named Harriet Johnson, but her residence could not be learned. The names of other persons who have thus been prematurely hurried into eternity could not be ascertained during the iutens€ excitement which prevailed. Upon inquiry at Guy's Hospital last night at eleven o'clock, it was learned that three men and a female had been received into that institution, most of whom were suffering from fractured thighs And broken heads; nurse Patience, of the same hospital, has been so trampled upon, that she vomits blood. A great many other persons, both male and female, have been also so seriously injured that they have been obliged to be removed to their respective homes, but it is impos sible to tell whether they are fatally hurt or not. The damage done to the grand hall is extensive, and will probably amount to some hundred pounds sterling. Whether the directors will allow the same proceedings to take place next Sunday is exceedingly questionable ; but, if they do, it is to be hoped that each door and window will be unloosened, so that on the sudden alarm of fire, tho congregation may be enabled to effect their escape without resorting to the fearful expedient; of breaking the windows and jumping out in the fearful manner they did last night. The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, and also Mr. Olney, the great linendraper of the Borough, who had hired the hall, upon hearing that a loss of life had taken place, and so many others injured, were visibly affected, even to tears. Too much praise cannot be given to the police, under Mr. Superintendent Lund, for the admirable manner in which they exerted themselves under the trying and heart rending circumstances. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The Royal Surrey Gardens were turned to a novel pur pose last night, and unfortunately it resulted in the loss of at least six lives, with injuries to others which at present are incalculable. Mr. Spurgeon, a young man who appears to have turned half London crazy by the force of his pulpit eloquence, having left Exeter-hall, where ho has for some time past been exhibiting himself, announced his intention of giving three Sunday evening services in the grand con cert-room of the Surrey Gardens, last night's being the first. The popularity of Mr. Spurgeon drew together an immense multitude of persons, and although the time men tioned for the commencement of service was half-past six o'clock, the approach to the gardens was besieged fully two hours before that time by people anxious to obtain admis sion. Mr. Spurgeon made his appearance in the midst of his vast auditory at half-past six o'clock, and gave out a hymn, which was snug with more strength perhaps than harmony by his auditors. He then proceeded with an " exposition" of a portion of St. Luke's Gospel, on which he delivered a most exciting harangue, which in some places was cheered by those who took an interest in the proceedings. The next business was a prayer, as exciting as the scriptural commentary, and in the midst of this the terrible accident occurred. From the best information that could be gathered it appears that the catastrophe arose from a cry of " Fire," raised by a concerted movement on the part of a body of London thieves at the western door, at the northern en - trance, and in the southern entrance to the building the cry was simultaneously raised, and it unhappily produced its effect in each direction. From the western door, which is the principal entrance, the people rushed in a body, many of them were knocked down, trampled upon, their arms and legs broken. Those iu the first gallery, who were alarmed by the rumour, rushed down the northern stair case, which gave way, the result of which was, that five women and one man were killed on the spot. Of the wo men killed, one was Mrs. Grace Skipper, of 40, Dobson -ter race, Kennington ; another, Mrs. Harriet .Johnson (address unknown). To the other persons there was, up to a late hour last night, no clue whatever. When the alarm was raised in the galleries that the building was en fire, or was falling, the people who were intimidated broke the windows and jumped out. Of these some hu n d re d s b roke their arms and legs, and the shrieking and crying i n th e darkness, which b/this time prevailed, was certainly most heart-rending. It is but the most ordinary justice to Mr. Superintendent Lund and the police under his control to state that if it had not been for their great exertions some hundreds of persons must have been killed or maimed; when the rush took place, they planted themselves in a body before the door, and while large bodies of people were lying upon the floor, and running the risk of being tram pled to death, resisted as long us they could the progress of the impetuous crowd. Until eleven o'clock last night dead and flying were conveyed to Guy's Hospital, to which institution, by the proper directions of the superintendent of police, they were conveyed. Mr. Spurgeon continued his discourse after the terrible catastrophe. He appeared to treat it lightly, remarking that people would rush into danger to save their bodies, while they cared little about the salvation of their souls. ccidenth asilltcocutrhreed, circumstances.w il l Mr. Carter, the co roner i n w h ose d i str i ct t hi s l amen t a bl e a n o doub t institute a strict in vestigation [A.DVE RTISEMENTI—UoIIoway's Pills.—ln cases of T . ic Duloreux these Pills are a Certain Cure. —M r .

For nearly 200 years--that is, ever since the foundation of the Bank of Hambnr, g—has the very extensive commerce of this oP y carried on exclusively. by means of a silver curr ency, or, more properly speaking, silver ingots, for th a mark banco is not a coin, but represents a certafn quantity of bar silver deposited in the cellars of the hank. Silver was selected for becoming the standard of value as not being so liable to fluctuati en as gold, and assimilating more to the. currency of Spain, France, the States of Germany, and most other countries of the European continent. It is trues that for several years past voices have been raised. in favour of gold, but they weee few and feeble, of Hamburg e the standard, atrnad4eno practical di sa d van t ages have accrued to th e whilst Hambu t r h g e solidity by ng on anci entwiiieh the ask i s f ounded has been often tested in ir a 1 o n f ta tiiiii basis periods of commercial crisis, and always conies out triumphant. But of lat 3 it has become more and mo?e appa rent to our most eminent commercial and financial firms that silver is inadequate to the exigencies of our yearly increasing traffic, and the question has been deeply considered whether it would not be advisable, and in what manner possible, to revert to gold as the unit of value. The fact that from the year 1851 down to October, 1 856, nearly e ight mil lions of lbs. of silver—of a value amountino. to 30,030,0001. sterling—have been exported from Europe to India and China ; that in the present state of the markets the tendency is decidedly in favour c f a continuation of the export of silver ; hat in Fran ce durin g th e above period more than 1,500 millions of francs in silver coins have found heir way to the ma:ing pot, and been converted into bar silver; that in Germany, and particularly here at Hamburg, as I have more than once in.- formed your readers, many millions of dollars have been melted down-, thereay disturbing to a consi derable extent the currency of Prussia, Hanover, Denmark, and 'other States; and finally, that in this city, where silver is both an article of mer chandise and the circulating medium, the rate of discount has for the last twelve months risen to an almot unprecedented height,_ without its being caused by any particular miseredit or a commercial casts from over speculation or other unhealthy state of trade; all these are facts which speek more favourably for the introduction of a gold standard, and are a stronger and more practical arg umeut towards dissipating long-standing opinions anal old tashite.td prejudices than any learned disquisitions or theoretical essays on the subject. In my letter of the 29th ult. I informed you the't a petition to the Board of Commerce had been got up and was most numerously signed by the mo s t respectable and eminent houses in the city, pray eg for the introduction of gold as the future stan dard of value. The Board has taken the matter an hand with an alacrity and spirit to which we are rather unaccustomed here, where it generally is a work of many years to carry any measure of reform or public utility ; but in this case they have acted with praiseworthy energy, and have al ready forwarded the petition to the Senate, accompanied by a voluminous memorial—contain ing no less than 35 close-written folio pages— strongly recommending the senate to grant the prayer of the petitioners, and entering so deeply into the merits of the case as to show that they must have occupied themselves with the subject for a considerable time past. This memorial, which goes fully into the case, then proceeds to answer them : 1. Can the introduction of gold as a standard be re commended as a substitute for the silver standard in Ger inany generally, and more especially ;n Hamburg with reference to the mark banco ? 2. What description of gold standard is more particu larly to be recommended ? and 3. In what manner is the change from the silver to the gold standard in Hamburg likely to be effected, with. the least possible disturbance of our commercial arrange ments as at present existing ? This last is the most important of the questions to the commercial world, and is answered by the board in a highly satisfactory manner, and their memorial is accompanied by a very lucid and busines.S-like draft of a proclamation or ordinance respecting "the introduction of gold as the future standard of value for the Bank of Hamburg." In drawing up the memorial the Board of Com merce have been evidently guided by the following leading principles and practical considerations : 1. Instead of the hitherto existing sole standard of pure silver, a gold standard shall be substituted ; and whereas hitherto the unit of value of the Bank of Ham burg was 1000 1000 pure silver as such, and not in the farm of coined money, so in future the unit shall be 10001000 of pure gold as such, whether in bars or con tained in coined money, so that mark banco shall con tinue to be as heretofore, and contain in itself a fixed and unalterable unit of value, according to which the par of exchange may be estimated in the moneys of all other countries also possessing a gold currency. 2. Notwithstanding the establishment of this funda mental principle, that in future pure gold is to be con sidered in Hamburg the standard measure of value and principal means of exchange, silver, both in bars and coins, shall be considered as a subsidiary basis and ad mitted as circulating medium to a considerable extent This will be eff e ct e d b y accept i ng deposits of pure silver, . and making advances on tkin in the new gold standard, and free of interest or charges, at the rate of 98 per cent. of the value of such silver at the market price of the day, and to the extent of one-third of tee funds of the bank. 8 . ,4 this means great facility will be afforded for quickly increasing,, if necessary, the amount of the circulating medium, and at the same time for carrying on extensive ~p ra,tions in silver for canneercial purposes. 3. Although the new bank standard of value is founded o n the weight and fineness of pure gold as such, yet it is understood that well-known gold coins (such as the sovereign, the Louis d'or, and the ducat) of general cur rency and established value, may be received and form part of the funds of the bank without being melted down, and, if required, taken away in the same state. 4. At the period when the alteration of the standard comes into operation, great care must be taken to pre vent any large and sudden fluctuation in the price of the precious metals and the course of the exchanges, for which impose it is evident that the day for the definitiv e settleinsut of the exact amount and value of the n e w mark bunco and the division of the Col trot mark of pure gold (tlb.) into marks banco must be fixed a v er y short time previous to the proposed alteration act ua ll y taking place. 5. The regulation of the liabilities for payment en •ei ed into before the introduction of the new standard, and not expressly stipulated to be such, shall be effected by sienna of all official publicatio n adjusting the agio between the gold and silver standards. With the intro uucti of the new standard it follows, as a matter of course, this all the existin g accounts in Hamburg silver , bane() will be clo se d, an d t h e amounts standing to the credit of the partie s b e re - opene d i n marks of the gold stand aril. In order to prevent any bss to the bank from a fluctuation in the current price of gold, every de positor of that metal is bound to sign a document •bincting himself, in case of a depreciation of gold to the extent of 1 per cont., to pay in the difference to the bank, which sum, however, be placed to his credit when the price of gold rises. But this mea sure is only a provisional one, and has reference merely to those transactions entered into between the publication of the ordinance and the day that the alteration in the standard takes place, which it is proposed to fix for the Ist ofJuly,lBsL—Daily ?Yews. THE CHANCELLOR OF TILE EXCLIEQUBB AT HEREFORD. HEREFORD, SATURDAY NIGHT , The annual meeting of the Hereford Agricultural Society was held here to-day.
