I would respectfully report that, on account of the recent conduct of the vestry of Cranmer Chapel, I have disconnected myself from that body, and shall resume my labors, by Divine permission, as Rector of the Church of the Redemption, in the Hall of the Evangelical Educational Association, Pitt street, one door east of Caroline. Since the last Convention, it has been ascertained that we numbered in the Chapel, Communicants-last reported 41-deceased 1-removed 12 left-present number, Baptisms-children, Marriages, Funerals, 37 18 5 17 ROBERT PIGGOT, Rector of the Church of the Redemption, and late Rector of Cranmer Chapel.

In presenting this record, our grateful acknowledgments are due to those friends of this enterprize, through whose aid we were enabled to finish the interior of the Church, and to provide for it the appropriate fixtures and fur niture. But, above all, we render our hearty thanksgivings unto Him who hath blessed us in the present success of our work, trusting that, through a continuance of His favor, this congregation may evermore prosper, and become rich in every good word and work to His eternal glory, Baltimore, May 27, 1846. ALFRED A. MILLER, Rector. St. Andrew's Church, Baltimore. In making out his report for the last conventional year, the subscriber takes pleasure in stating that the condition of the congregation is much more favorable and encouraging than it was twelve months since. The good seed which has been sown, and the sound principles which have been implanted in years past, by the late estimable rector of St. Andrew's, are now manifesting themselves, and it is made the privilege of the present incumbent to have entered into his labors. The numbers attending the services of the sanctuary are gradually but decidedly on the increase, and the undersigned would feign hope that more abundant blessings are in store for his beloved charge. Since the 1st of January last, a subscription to the amount of nearly four thousand dollars has been obtained towards paying off the church debt, of which sum about twenty-five hundred dollars have been appropriated; and though so much has been done, indeed far more than could have been hoped, in view of the circumstances, there is still a disposition to do more.

Its proceeds, amounting to about 1,000 or 1,200 dollars a year, are divided among a variety of objects,—such as Missions, the aid of feeble churches and the like. Adding to this the contributions to the Charity Asylum, and the Education Society connected with the church, and special appropriations, and the sum will be between $2,500 and $3,000. May, 1846.

On Quinquagesima Sunday, pledges to liquidate the greater part of the remainder were given, so that there is a reasonable prospect of having an unencumbered Trinity Church in East Baltimore before the next Convention. Communicants-added 6-removed 1-died 1-present num ber, Marriages, 6 Interments, The rector has nothing of peculiar interest to report. His congregations in both church edifices remain about the same in numbers. Three or four candidates for confirmation are anxiously waiting the promised visitation of the bishop. M. L.

This arises from the want of a suitable Church edifice. It is believed that if there were a neat and commodious Church, the congregation would greatly increase, and become flourishing and permanent. But the funds necessary to convert the building now owned by the vestry into a house of worship, must be obtained elsewhere than in the congregation. Thus far we have met with little success in this undertaking,—but trust that, GoD prospering us, we may be able to report at the expiration of another year, the church consecrated, and a manifold addition to the amount of good already effected. In connexion with this Church (undertaken for the especial benefit of CHRIST'S poor) it may be remarked that the community do not appear to estimate the importance of establishing churches in the immediate vicinity of the city,—where the population (often dense and generally poor) are exposed to most corrupting influences, and at the same time are destitute of the means of grace. Since assuming the charge of St. John's (of which I have recently accepted the rectorship) the children of the congregation have been "openly catechised in the presence of the congregation" once in every month.
