subscriptions and donations in aid of the Theological Seminary," report-That in consequence of a variety of circumstances beyond their power to control, they were not able to undertake the work assigned to them as early as they had designed. And in the prosecution of their efforts for the purposes mentioned in their appointment, (although they have spent several days and parts of days in the work) they have been often disappointed in seeing the individuals on whom they have called, and have had to contend with many opposing obstacles which have prevented them from accomplishing what they had fondly hoped. They have confined their labours principally to the congregation of Brooklyn-the other congregations in the Classis in general having been previously partially visited. We have by no means completed the work assigned to us. Could one or more efficient agents be procured who would visit every family in the respective congregations in the Classis, we have reason to believe that a very considerable amount of funds could still be obtained. The following are the subscriptions procured by your Agents-viz:

We would also report that in the Book put into our hands we find the following subscriptions on Long-Island which were obtained by the Rev. E. Baldwin and Dr. A. Vanderveer, and have never been reported to Synod except in a general manner-viz :

In the same book is a subscription of $200, from Mr. James Bogert, Jun. of New-York, of which $100 has been paid.
