Ministers.

The three last churches formerly belonged
to the Richmond Association, and this was
their state in 1810.

David Dimock, Grifin Lewis, Joel Rogers,
computed at

Dr. Thomas Hersey and others to the num
ber of five; total number of members
computed at

OHIO.

In 1803, there were in this State 25 churches
not associated. The number has probably
mach increased since that period. We shall
estimate them at 30, their ministers at 15, and
heir average number at 30, making a total of 900

By information from correspondents there
are a number of churches in the new settle-
merts in New-York, of which no definite ac-
counts have been obtained. There is, if not
an Association, the remains of one near the
Missisippi River, in the Illinois Territory.
It is also believed there are a number of new
churches in some of the other western Terri-
tories, whose names have not been obtained.
In a number of the southern and western
States, some few churches are to be found, of
which no notice bas yet been taken. I think
it will be a moderate calculation to suppose
that there are, in different parts of the United
States and Territories, of unassociated church-
es yet remaining, 50, of ministers 25, and of
members

Sum total of Ministers 119, Members

From the many observations I bave made on the spread of Baptist principles, I am inclined to think, that without counting that class in Massachusetts and Connecticut, who hang to the denomination merely by certificates, we may reckon seven adherents, to one communicant. Upon this mode of calculation, the number of adherents will amount to 1,433,915, which, added to the communicants, will make the sum total of the Baptist denomination in America, 1,638,760; that is, more than one fifth of the whole population of the United States and Territories.

ADVERTISEMENT.

IT is hoped that the increased size of this work, will be a sufficient apology to the subscribers, for the delay of its publication. The letters, and some other articles in the first part of both volumes, would have been printed on small type, had it been expected the pages would have swelled so much beyond the number first proposed. Many parts of the composition the writer would have been glad to have retouched; many accounts might have been made shorter, could he have had more time to prepare them; and some repetitions might have been avoided, could he have reviewed the whole work before any of it was printed, and not been obliged to pass rapidly from one volume and article to another, to supply two presses with copy. Should any mistakes of importance be discovered, in the numerous accounts which he has collected with so much labour and care, he will esteem it a favour to be informed of them. And should any statements, of matters of a disputable nature, be proved to be incorrect, it will be his duty and pleasure to correct them, should another edition be called for in his day; as his design throughout has been to pursue the plain road of narration, and not the thorny one of controversy.

Three years from this date, that is, in the beginning of 1817, should the author's life be continued, he proposes to publish separately, a second table of Associations and Churches, at which time, and indeed annually the intervening time, he desires to have forwarded to him the Minutes of all Associations which are now in being, or which may hereafter arise.

Since the account of the India Mission was printed, Mr. RICE, whose name is there mentioned, has returned to America, to solicit the aid of the Baptists in this country, towards the arduous and benevolent design of propagating the gospel in India. Mr. JUDSON is now on the field of missionary labour, to which Mr. RICE proposes soon to return. Before his arrival, Societies for Foreign Missions had been formed in Boston, Salem, Haverhill, and Providence. Since that event, similar Societies have been organized in New-York, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore, Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, and some other places. Mr. RICE has travelled through the States; has met with much encouragement in his designs; has collected about a thousand dollars, exclusive of what Societies have raised; and a promising prospect presents itself, that liberal means will soon be provided for sending Baptist Missionaries from Columbia's favoured shores to India's benighted realms.
