According TO The latest accounts from
the establishments of the United Breth-
reas' Church, there are one hundred
and ninety-eight missionaries Iaboring
in thirty-four stations, viz. E: five in
South Africa, one in Surinam, two at
Barbadoes, two in ST. Kits, six in Anti
qua, three in Jamaica, seven in the
Danish West India Islands, three in
North America, one in Labrador, and
four in Greenland. They have been
obliged 10 abandon their contemplate
ed establishments among the Tartars
The economy and devotion 10 the cause,
which characterize all the missionary
establishments Of this church, have long
been objects of admiration 10 the Chris
tian world. The number of converts
from the heather, now connected with
the Brethren's Church, is greater than
the whole number of regular members
attached 10 it, Star.

Ii appears that there are under the
care of the General Assembly four
teea Synods. comprising eighfyfpe Pres
tyEeries, aud that sixy-eight rresbyte-
ries have sent up to this Assembly re-
ports more or less complete. Those
fresuyteries which have sent up reports
have given the number and names Of
Ministers, congregations and IicenIiaies,
and the number Of candidates. They
also report the number of those Minis
teis who are settled pastors; and of
those who are stated supplies, or With
out charges. They report also the
number OF congregations supplied and
the number vacant; Of the vacancies,
those which are able 10 support pastors.
They report also the number of CON-
munIcants and oil baptsms.
The whole number Of Ministers re-
ported by the above named So Presby-
teries is 935; OF liceutiafes 152; Of
candidates l76; of congregations 1924 ;
of the Ministers. 635 are settled pastors
and $50, are stated supplies or without
charge. Aud of the congregations, 944
are supplied, and $40 vacant. The

from the last reports received from Is
Ufthese delinquent Presbyteries, it APP
pears that they contained l50 Ministers
and had under their care 80 Iicentiates,
% candidates, 25l congregations aud
1895 commandments ; so that the whole
number OF Ministers now ascertained to
belong TO the Presbyterian Church in the

Der of congregations returned ia 1875; OF
COMMITMENTS 1861; of licentiateq
1874, and Of candidates for the gospel

1t is much to be regretted that in
more than 700 Of our churches, ave are
still unable 10 ascertain even the num-
Der of COMMITMENTS, and that all the
Presbyterial reports are more or less
imperfect. NJ Y. Rel Chronicle.
