MR. MESON JONES " 01V GARIBALDI AND

ITALY."

Last evening, the large room of the Manchester
Free-trade Hall was filled with a crowded audience
to hear Mr. Mason Jones, who has just returned
from Naples, deliver, for the first time in England
an oration on " Garibaldi and Italy." The address
occupied fully two hours; and, although Mr.
Jones had occasionally to refresh his memory by a
glance at his "notes," the interest of the audience
never flagged. The day before Mr. Jones left
Naples, Garibaldi desired him to express to Eng.
lishmen his deep and abiding gratitude, not only
for their material aid, but far more for the moral
sympathy he had received from them in the great
struggle in which he had been engaged. Garibaldi
said he owed to England a debt of gratitude
which he could never repay, but which he would
never forget; and if Italy ever became one and
united, England might reckon upon her as an ally,
though her alliance might not prove so expensive
as that of some of which she could boast. (Ap-
plause.) Mr. Jones gave a rapid outline of Gari-
baldi's life, social and political, from his birth to
the revolution in Rome, in 1848 ; and then graphi-
cally sketched the leading incidents of Garibaldi's
progress in liberating Sicily and part of Italy. The
first thing that struck him in Garibaldi's character

was the union of good with great qualities. It was
the morale of the man that most impressed him,
and that was the secret of the immense influence
he exercised, and of the ardent attachment which
was shown towards him by the Italian people. He
was gentle as a lamb, confiding as a girl, tender as
a woman, simple as a child, brave as a lion. But
Garibaldi was not without his faults. As a military
man he lacked the genius of organisation. Wherever
he (Mr. Jones) went in Naples, he was struck with the
want of order, respect, and discipline. Everybody
went everywhere; no one knew his position ; and
the duties of nobody were sharply defined. There
was no regular commissariat ; the material of war
was wanting for the army, although all the stores
and arsenals in Naples bursting with supplies.
They had no guns for the gunners, and no gunners
!Cr the guns. There were two regiments of cavalry
in Naples, only thoy had no horses—(laughter)---
and yet there were thousands of horses in the stables
or the corrupt nobility, who had fled from fear of the
revolution. So exalted, however, Were Garibaldi's
notions of honour that he would not take one of
them. Mr. Songs gave a harrowing description of
the torments endured by prisoners in the dungeons
of Naples (many of which he had inspected with the
correspondent of the 'limes); and remarked that
no language could possibly exaggerate the horrible
charucter of these places. The Neapolitans, he
considered, were thoroughly degraded by a Jong
course of tyranny and misgovernment. With a
few exceptions, they were all rogues, liars, thieves,
and cowards. The city of Naples, with the finest
hay and the loveliest scenery in the world, was the
filthiest den he was ever in. The inhabitants
dwelt in dirt; it was necessary to their life—the
breath of their nostrils. Their only redeeming
feature was that they honoured and loved Garibaldi,
which was enthusiastically cheered. In the course
of the oration Mr. Jones remarked that he found
it impossible to say all he wished in one evening,
and therefore he should continue his subject on
that night week.—Manchester Guardian.

[This talented orator lectures on Thursday even-
ing, on the same subject, at St. James's Hall,
Piccadilly.]

THE REV. C. H. SPURGEON'S TABERNACLE.

Last night a tea meeting was held in the large
school-room of Islington Chapel, Upper-street,
Islington, in aid of the fund for erecting the
Metropolitan Tabernacle at Newington, for the
congregation of the Rcv. C. H. Spurgeon. The
attendance was very large. After tea had been
disposed of the meeting adjourned to the chapel,
where the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon presided. After
devotional exercises,

The Rev. CHAIRMAN, in addressing the assembly,
remarked that their present meeting was only one
of a considerable number which were about to be
held. For the benefit of those who were not ac-
quainted with their movements he (Mr. Spurgeon)
would tell them that they had for some time past
been building a large structure which would hold
upwards of 6,000 persons. It was not easy for him
to give them an idea of its size, but suffice it to say
that it was twice as large as Exeter Hall, and one
third larger than the Surrey Music Hall. Many
might say why build it so large ? In answer to
this he would say that it was a growing conviction
in the minds of many of his congregation that it
would not be large enough. Seeing that they had
1,600 members of the church they could pretty well
guess what the congregation was. Their present
number of members more than filled their chapels.
Their conversions also were more numerous than
at any previous period ; they were going on at the
rate of 300 every year. Many might ask. also,
" Why have it opened free of debt?" In answer
to this he would say because he had said it must be
so, and he did not like to draw back. Their chapel
would stand for generations as a representative
chapel of Dissenters, and therefore he would not like
it to be said, " that is all very well, but they had to
borrow the money, and they are still in debt." If.
therefore, he could get his friends to pay for it now,
they would have no burden. But let them not ima-
gine that because they subscribed now they would
not have to do so hereafter, because they would be
most mightily mistaken. Other things would
occupy their attention, which if they were in debt
they would not be able to perform. They were all
aware that he had undertaken to prepare a few
young men for the ministry. But he hoped when
their chapel was paid for to raise his present num-
ber to 100. He believed he had a call in this
matter. He aimed not to bring out scholars but
rough thunder men that could preach and be under.
stood. He had often felt that there was a lack of
these men—men who suited the people and spoke
to them in their own language. The sum they
originally wanted was £30,000 ; 124,000 of this
had been subscribed, so that £6,000 was now all
they wanted. This amount they were desirous of
raising by the end of March, about which time
they intended to open. He intended to be a beggar
that night—a beggar as bold as br&ss. It was a
matter that would only occur once in his life, and
he therefore felt like the man who said when ho
was doomed to be hanged, " It's only once, and 1
would like it done thoroughly well."
The meeting was then addressed by the Rev.
B. G. Thallis, Joseph Payne, Esq., the Rev. H. G.
Ingram, &c., and after a liberal collection the Doxo-
logy concluded the proceedings.

REVIV L 111BEI'MG AT _EXETER-lIALL

On Sunday evening ameeting of an extraordi-
nary character was held in Exeter-hell. It had
been announced by means of advertisements and
placards that Exeter-hall would be opened on that
night for a service to be conducted by three lay-
men, Mr. Reginald Radcliffe, Mr. Richard Weaver
(formerly a prizefighter), and Mr. William Carter.
The promise was kept, and at 6 o'clock the doors
were thrown open. In less than a quarter of an hour
the spacious building was densely packed, and it
was deemed advisable at once to close the outer
gates. The proceedings were opened by prayer, in
the course of which the Almighty was earnestly
implored to stretch down his arm from Heaven over
London for the purpose of converting it, and espe-
cially for the purpose of checking Popery,
priestcraft, Puseyism, and devilism, Mr. Carter
read portions of the 6th chapter of St. Mark's
Gospel, and in the course of a very energetic
description of the efficacy of redemption assured
his hearers that it was not to be secured by
lifting up a poor rotten cross or miserable cru-
cifixes—nor in going to church with fine steeples,
or listening to a lot of fellows with white night;
gowns on. All these were miserable delusions
What was wanted was real conversion, the
classes in London who wanted it most beintgwwoernkt-
ing men, 98 out of every 100 of whom never
to a place of worship at all, and the unconverted
nobility, many of whom were canting humbugs.
Mr. Weaver followed, and from the . excitement
arose it was which prevailed immediately he

dent that he was the principala object of attraction.

John's First Epistle. He called upon his hearers
not to believe that the great scheme of human re-
demption was moonshine and humbug; but, on the
contrary, it was able to encircle and convert the
greatest blackguard in London. There were many
ungodly persons in that hall who wanted shaking
over hell for five or six minutes, anti if that would
not convert them nothing would. As the speaker
warmed with his subject he danced up and down
the platform and shouted hell and damnation with
a vigour which was perfectly appalling. Every
now and then he denounced the unconverted, then
appealed to them to come to Christ, and in the
roughest language, and with the most violent ges-
ticulation, called upon those who believed that
Christ had power to save to hold up their hands.
About three-fourths of the audience did so ; the
" contrary " was not put. During the proceedings
several young women, whose feelings were operated
upon, fainted and were carried out. Mr. Weaver
afterwards sang another hymn, " I've a father in a
promised land, to a lively air. Throughout the
evening the audience were kept in the highest state
of excitement, and at the close of the public service
a meeting of a quieter kind was held for the recep-
tion of the unconverted.
