Reverting to the interior of St. Saviour’s, we observe that the northern side is supported by four arches, the central one depending upon double columns of polished granite, and all of them having highly ornamented capitals.  A couple of stone angels support the primary principal of the chancel roof, and they bear the weight put upon them very complacently.  The northern aisle is occupied below with free seats; and above, in a gallery, with ditto.  At the western end there is a continuation of the gallery, filled with free seats.  The church will hold 800 people, and more than half the seats are free.  All the pews are strong, open, and good to sit in.  The central ones on the ground floor are very lengthy—­perhaps thirty feet in extent.

The congregation, considering the capacity of the church, is large, and consists almost absolutely of working people.  We noticed during our visit to this place what we have seen at no other church or chapel in the town, namely, that many of the worshippers put in an early appearance—­several were in their seats at least a quarter of an hour before the service commenced.  We further noticed that the congregation is a pre-eminently quiet and orderly one.  At some places you are tormented to death with stirring feet, shuffling, rustling clothes, coughing, sneezing, &c.; here, however, you have little of these things, and at times, a positive dead calm prevails.  It may also be worthy of mention that we saw fewer sleepers at St. Saviour’s than in any other place of worship yet visited by us.  Only one gentleman got fairly into a state of slumber during the whole service; a stout girl tried to “drop over” several times, and an old man made two or three quiet efforts to get his eyes properly closed, but both failed.  All the other members of the congregation appeared to be wide awake and amazingly attentive.  The free seats are well patronised by poor people, and it is to such a class as this that the place seems really advantageous.

The music at the church is simple, hearty, and quite congregational.  The tunes are plain, and the worshippers, instead of looking on whilst the choir perform, join in the music, and get up a very full volume of respectable melody.  The regular singers have their quarters at the north-eastern end, on the ground floor, and they acquit themselves with a very good grace.  Near them is a small, poor-looking organ; it is played well, but its music is not very consolatory, and its tame, infantile appearance throws it quite out of keeping with the general excellence of the church.  Some money has, we believe, been promised towards a new organ, and if somebody else would promise some more, a seemly-looking instrument might be obtained.
