Ohio GENERAL SYNOD OF THE REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA. Meeting, in the city of New York, on the first Wednesday of June, 1829.-Rev. THOMAS M. STRONG, Štated Clerk, Flatbush, Long Island. Explanatory note. The General Synod is divided into two " Particular Synods," --New York, and Albany; and includes sixteen Classes. The statistical Report made to the General Synod in June, 1828, and from which the following list is prepared, is more than ordinarily valuable, on account of containing the number of families and individuals connected with each congregation, as well as the number of communicants. Some interesting estimates might be made from such statements, relative to the proportion of communicants and other members of congregations, were they gen erally given by Ecclesiastical Bodies. Pastors of churches are separated from ministers without pastoral charge, by a line. The clerks of the several Classes we have not been able to ascertain. I. Particular Synod of New York. 1.

The Synod of the German Reformed church contains 7 clasThe last meeting of Synod was held toward the close of Sept. 1828, at Mifflinsburg, Pa. Not having received the minutes of that meeting, we are compelled to omit the names of officers and Delegates to other Ecclesiastical Bodies for the ensuing year, and to take the list of ministers and congregations from the minutes of 1827-which, however, were not printed till 1828. If we are correctly informed, there are two smaller Branches of the German Reformed Church,-the Independent Synod -and the Synod of Ohio, containing, together, probably, thirty ministers, and one hundred congregations. The following extract from the report, on the state of religion, for 1827 contains a summary view which is doubtless applicable, with very few exceptions, at the present time. "The Synod of the German Reformed Church in these United States, embraces a large portion of her territory, and is composed of seven classes. The churches in our connection are numerous, and chiefly located in the state of Pennsylvania; but some of them are scattered over the states of New York, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and North and South Carolina, "The statistical reports of the several classes, as laid before this Synod, being incomplete, it is impossible for us at present to exhibit the aggregate amount of churches, or of members in full communion in our Zion; we are persuaded we have something like four hundred organized churches, and at least thirty thousand members in our communion, with only about ninety ordained ministers to break to them the bread of life."

Meeting of General Convention every third year. The next meeting in Philadelphia, on the second Wednesday in August, 1829. Explanatory note. There are thirteen Dioceses, within each of which an annual convention is held, composed of clergy and lay delegates. In the Eastern Diocese, comprehending the states of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, a convention is held in each state, in addition to that which is held for the Diocese.-It is a source of regret that the limits of the Quarterly Register and Journal do not permit us to give the names and residence of the clergy belonging to this denomination. Should our design be approved and patronized, we shall do this hereafter. We must confine ourselves in the present number to the general organization of the Episcopal Church in the United States, including the names of Dioceses, Bishops, Conventions, Secretaries of conventions, times of meeting, and the whole number of clergy belonging to each Diocese, or state mentioned. 1.
