The United Synod.

--This body continued its sessions yesterday in the United Presbyterian Church. Saturday was spent chiefly in hearing from the members accounts of the state of religion in the different Presbyteries. In the afternoon the report of the Board of Missions was read, containing an interesting letter from Rev. M. D. Kalepothakes, a missionary in Athens, Greece, under the care of the Synod. This morning the proposition to modify the name of the Synod was postponed to next year. A report of the Committee on Church Extension announced that the Rev. Dr. Styles had been appointed an evangelist to labor in the churches of the Synod. The directors of the Theological Seminary made their annual report, stating that about $72,000 were in hand, in subscriptions and cash, for the establishment of this institution, but that it was not thought best, at this time, to undertake a permanent establishment of the Seminary. The directors, however, were empowered to make some temporary arrangement for instructing a Theological class. The Synod held a night session, and after some routine business, adjourned, to meet in Chattanooga, Tenn., May, 1862.
