sainted Itself within a stone's throw of the ancient
ramparts of Old Sarum lin Monday week. The
eaceutrie but popular preacher of New Park Street
Chapel, London—the Rev, C. H. Spurgeon —having,
weinly through the solicitations of air. John Keynes,
commented to deliver two open air discourses iii a
field in the occupation of Mr. Holloway, of Old
Castle House, thousands of persons of all classes
were attracted to tie spot, and Maus of them from •
considerable distance. Mrs. Spurgeon herself was
also present. Every effort was wade to provide sit-
Wig accommodation, but wore than half of the
imunnise congregation were obliged to stand. The
air was souiewhat brisk, but still Mr. Spurgeon con-
trived to wake the sounds of his voice distinctly
heard by even the most distant listener. The rev.
gentleman anived about half-past 2 o'clock, and,
having asked the congregation to join in singing the
100th Peale', proceeded to read the 25th chapter of
Isaiah, upon each verse of which he coinnieuted as
he went. His sermon was preached trout Psalm li.
18th verse :—" Build thou the walls of Jerusalem."
At the close of his sermon. Mr. Spurgeon said he had
preached to them with a heavy heart, because it *as
the last time they might ever see hie face. The pro-
prietor of the Surrey Gardens Music Hall having
expressed his intention of opening it for purpoeee of
recreation, be yesterday gave notice that he should
nut again preach in it lifter next Sunday. He should
thus be driven hither and thither, and unless the
Christian public thought proper to waist him in
erecting • building sufficiently large to contain his
large oongregatiou, it might lie that lie should take
We departure for America or Australia, for he was
determined to serve God semewhere. The collec-
tions amounted to £36 ; in addition to which Mr.
Spurgeon had two or three donations of a sovereign
each, especially for his own Chapel. The evening
service took place at half-past six o'clock, and there
waa • far inure numerous attendance than in the
internoon. As many as five or six thousand persons
must have been present. A hymn having been
sung, Mr. Spurgeon proceeded to read and expouud
the 103rd Psalm. Prayer was then offered, after
which Mr. Spurgeou pneieetled with his sermon.
He selected as his text part of the first verse of the
55th chapter of Isaiah, "Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price." A hymn was
then sung, after which ldr.Spurgeon dismissed his
hearers with& blessing.
