Freeman says that the Rev. FL Spurgeon again on
Sunday occupied the Music Hall ofthe Surry Gar
dens. The audience numbered some ten or eleven
thousand persons. Among the congregation were
Lord John Russell, Sir James Graham, Lord S.ar-
ley, OF Alderley, and number of members of
Parliament On retiring Lord John Russell and
Lord Stanley of AiderIey had heightened cor.
versation with Mr.. Spurgeop, both of the noble
members expressing the most unqualified admira-
tion of the talents of the reverend gentleman. We
understand that Mr. Spurgeon has received four
thousand five hundred pounds sterling towards his
new tabernacle At the close of recent Sunday
mornings service he was presented with hundred
pounds for that object by Mr. Ruskin the author of
Modern Painters"
