Looking at the original 1851 return everything is the same as the transcription above, except for the capacity numbers.
The actual document seems to be –
Sittings free – 770
Others – 70
Standing 460
These do seem very large capacity, but the return also states that 94 attended Devine Service on a Sunday morning. I have been wrong before, so open to correction.
