PHILADELPHIA, May 18.

Yesterday, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States commenced its annual session, in this city, in the First Presbyterian meeting house on Washington Square. In the afternoon, the Rev. Dr. Hoge, of Ohio, was unanimously elected Moderator. The Rev. Mr. Beman, past-moderator, read to his successor the rules of the Assembly, and then conducted him to the chair. Dr. Hoge thanked the assembly for the honour of his election, and assured them of his determination to discharge the duties of his station with honesty and zeal.

The Rev. Mr. Hay, (of the Champlain Presbytery, New York, as we learn,) was chosen Temporary Clerk.

The great increase in the number of delegates, will probably render it necessary for the Assembly to adjourn from the session to the body of the church.
