ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

In order, if pose ilaeriCited scene, Mr.
Spurgeon and some of his deacons commenced singing
" Praise God from whom all blessings flow," but the sounds
of discord which accompanied the singing completely
drowsed all the aids of the singers. There were shouts
and screams and violent cries ; shouts of " sit down,"
" keep your seats," "false alarm," and "take care of your
pockets," and other assuring exclamations of a similar cha-
racter. At length the perseverance of those engaged in
singing had the desired effect, and the fears of the crowds
as to the safety of the building or the exigence of Ere
subsided.

The Etev.Mr. Spurgeon at length made himself heard, and
stated that the false alarm had been reined by thieves, and
begged those present to remain quiet in their seats, end not
aid in the disturbance which it was the object of those par-
ties to mate, and gave oat the (hymn, " Salvation—oh the
joyful sound." While this hymn was being sung, another
contagion arose, and glaze woe heard smashing in ell direc-
tions, and sae of tee deacons ascended the rostrum and
said, "Tits gathering to-night has aroused Satan, and he
will net allow the envies to go on without sadeavourng to
interrupt it." Again Mr. Spurgeon stood forward sad said,
" Let us praise Hod in the midst of this contusion once
mote," and gave out the lines of the version of the 100th
Psalm, "Before Jehovah's awful throne." By the time
the first verse was sung many hundreds bad quitted the
building, but th do still lingered, ware paralysed with
fright, and others fearing to .feas the enormous pressure
el the crowds outside the building. Mr. Spurgeon again
addressed the assembly end said, " Will our goad friends
retire as quietly as possible, and may God forgive those who
hive been the authors of this contagion. I cannot preach to
you now, bat we will sing you out, and go as gradually and
"Aanne.ofTqtwaphriereeatif,Rasyc;l?:o;:tpmedPfla.aursyedbp.lept.:On givelohf egtrhe te

urea then said—My friend', what
shall I preach about ? Yon bid me preach to night. I am
' ready to do all I can, but in the midst of all this confusion
what shill be my subject ? May God's holy spirit give me
&subject on this solemn ortasion. My friends, there is •
terrible day c when the terror and slum 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 fin
beneath us; and when the arches of the sold heavens
shall totter to their centre. The day is coming when tto
clouds shell 1 their wooden and portent, end Christ
shall sit upon those clouds in glory, end shall call
you to judgment. Many men have gone away tonight is
the midst of this terrible confusion, and so shall it be on
that great day. I can, however, believe that the results of
that day will show that there will be a great many—not a
lees proportion than those who pow remain to those who
have left—irks will stand the ordeal of that great day.
The alarm which has just arisen has been produced to
some meows by that instinct which teaches us to seek
'elf-preservation. But in the more numerous of the casts,
it is not so much the dread of death which ras influenced
them, es the dread of something afterwards—that audit-
eovered 'smarty tree whose bourne no traveller memos.
'Ti, conscience that makes cowards of them. Many were
afraid to step here, because they thought it was to atop and
be damned. They were aware—and many of you are
aware—that if you were hurried beim your Maker
to-sight, you would be brought there onshriven, un-
pardoned, and condemned. Bat what ate your terrors
now to what they will be on that terrible day of
reckoning of the Almighty, when the Heaven shell shrink
above you, and bell open her mouth beneath you
But know you not my friends that grace--eovereign grac—
can yet save you ? Have you never heard the welcome news
that Jesus came into the world to save sinners ? Yon are the
chief among sinners. Believe that Christ died for you, and
you may be saved from the torments of hell that await you.
Do yet not know that you are lost and ruined—that none
but Jesus can do the sinner good ? You are sick and dis-
eased. Jesus can do you good, and will. I thought this
night of preaching from the teat, " Tre cum of the Lord is
in the home of the wicked, but he blesseth the habitation of
the jut" 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 teat will be found in the 3rd chapter of reciverbs,
at the 33rd verse. The rev. gentlemen had just repeated the
words of the test, when another panic ensued, and the most
terrific confusion took place.
Comparative Mimics was again obtained, after the singing
of a part of another hymn, when the rev. gentleman
proceeded to comment upoa his teat, and eller saying
that although his congregation might suppose that there
were fifty classes of persons, there were to the eyes of
God but two, the righteous and the wicked. God knows
within of any class 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
I after 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 been injured by rushing out.
I would 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 prey that
these good may yet come out of this great evil after all.
Do not, however, he in • hurry. Lot those nearest the
door go first. The smith verge of the hymn, previous 4
announced, " His sovereign power without our aid," was
given out, sad many persons began to leave the hall. At
the conclusion of the hymn,
Mr. Spa/gees once more addressed the crowd, and said—
" This event will, I trust, teach us the necessity of having a
haildieg of our own. We thought we bad a sufficient
member of people present to preserve order ; but we
have been diaappoisted. When once a Cry is raised
to serve the purposes of thieves, you all run away like
silly sheep, and thee create the eonfusicu which it is the
object of these parties to create and to profit by. Now
that yes are a little more calm, let us begin again ; but
while I am presehing let oar friends retire gradually fee=
the bullding. My test was, ' The eine of the Lord Is
oa the house of the wicked, but he hlemeth the habi-
tation of the just.' I was saying my friends, just now,
thst God knew of none but two classes of penene—the
rtshreose sad the wicked. God judges set by the outward

,oduct, bet 1/ the heart. Like a wild physician. be looks

wicked. It only be that person of this clan may regularly
attend the hose of God, sad even jots Is a prayer to blur ;
bet else: there may be nothing to the heart oleniag to
God." lb* preacher's agitation bad now reached a meet
