Mr HunßW went into a detail of the cir mmstances which led to tbe change of the alacs of tn.il. and denounced as utterly nntrae 'he nasertioa of Mr. Se¬t, that Stevens was fore.d lo plead at the late leimtf the Court.

Harding moved a metU prosequi on the ->ld iiidictmeii-, a- the prisoner would l** tried on vi- Indictments brought in yesterday. Mr Beaabtt requested the Commonwealth toseleet one count in lbs indictment, iv order I te render tho case less complicated,aud in jtis- I tire to the prisoner. Mr. II ti ti ter rej.lieil, qaotlßg a number of j aathorities to show the legality of the course taken, aud declining to net-tie irom any count iv the inrtirtmrnt, rlrrastagall necessary. ?.Ir. lialiiing objected to the motion of Mr Sennoti to select one indictment, and argued that all the ct nuts were of the sasas degree, as all were punishable hy death, and that each was an indictment iv itself, and was necessary t.< remit r tbe case iree irom embarrassment. He q uot led a number of author! twa to show tbe correctness ol hi- position. Judge Klupey said he conld not see bow it could embarrass the prisoner by a joinder of all the c.mi.its. The object was to give the pnsußerall the chances tm his favor, but atill tbe Common wealth had the right to maintain tl-.at the prisoner wus regarded as Innocent un til proved guilty. ii<- therefore rejected the motion of conn-- 1 fjr selecting out* count. Mr. Sennoti stated tbat Le would present excep tion* to the ruling of the Coiuiut itie proper time. This argument of the counsel occupied mote I than two boars, and Stevens was not called .ti to plead to the Utdietmeat until alter 12 o'clock. The reading of tbe Indictment occupied ten minutes, during whicb time he stood up in an •■:. c". tn tinier, not moving a muscle, and he answered to Uie charge, with nn unfaltering voice, '-.Voi guilty.-" Tbe empaneling ol Ihe jury was then com menced, and the whole twenty>fcnr were exhausted without securing a jury.

A Fire in a t hinekt- titv. Tiie Chinese correspondent of the Newark Mercury,writing irom FuhChaa,November .ith, gives the following description of a scene in a ChIBBSS city : Full Chan was visited by a terrible fire lust Bight, in the suburb, winch lies ou the north side of the river Mm. It commenced about lialf-j'-'.st five o'clock this nii-i mug. I drat »a*.v it about liatf-past seven, when n presented a brilliant appearance. There were apparently al-out iweuiy or thirty balkting* burning ut once, and the lurid llames shot away up into ihe sky, while a vju-t cloud of smoke, mingling W burning cinders, was carried by the v. iad ver the south side ol the river, the sparks falling all the tune like so many meieors, to theearili. I watched the lire, aim .st without cessation, for four hours and a half, and during all this time it wus constantly spreading. Often a black cloud of smoke might be seen ai isn.goti tht. outer edge of the fire, the next moment a score ot buildings were enveloped iv flames: and in a few moments more the tim bers tottered, the ties rallied by ihe thousands upon the ground, withßcrash tike the sound oi artillery, and the houses came down to ihe level of iheir prostrate neighbor*. Thus this element raged till half-past eleven, when it leached its highest point oi terrible sublimity. I Hundreds of buildings were in a blaze, and 8 I great variety of colors seemed to blend iv one I living sheet of ilanie, but nii.g, cracking, and | era-lung with tremendous power. Tue llames extended close down to the water's edge, and at one time caught a large t_ai iyiug near tbe shore, which almost in an instant was in a bla/e from stem to biern, and went floating down the river, causing a great commotion aul >ng the other boats, whose crews maul lea ted the greatest agility, giving their Dan gerous, neighbors a wide berth, li finally broughl up again*, one of the stone piers of the long bridge, where it w .sallowed io bum out in the Quietest manner possible. Tiie noise .luring the continuance of the file wis hey. mil all deserts* loa. The -cracking of the flame*, rattling ni.- and crashing mingled iheir sounds with the discordant voice*, of men crying tn iheir gods for help, or quarreling with tbeir lcilow* for plunder ; Kami children screaming in agjuy, dogs g most piteoiisly, aud hogs squealing mosi dolorous protest against being alive. Among the thousand* of peo tgregatetl at the fire, not one seemed to M loast idea ol doing anything to stop its ravages; but, according to theClunete cus tom, every man wa* intent on practicing the "grab game " to as large an extent as possible. The property of all house* burning, or likely to burn, were declared public property, aud pitched into accordingly. The only protection ihe Chinese have against fire consist* in fire-proof wall*, built atcer ta ii distance* all through the city, aud intend ed to confine tbe fire to the district in which it originate*. It must be acknowledged that they very often accomplish their design; but it sometimes happens ibttt the tlatues spread over the top* of these walls aud set Are to building* iv the adjoining district, which teemed U> he tho case last night. Thi* morning, as 1 look acro*s the river from my wiudow, I see thousand* of Chinese • warming about the ruins, all rigged in their suits ol blue, which hive been doiined since our cold weather commented, the theruioiiu t«*r being at 7o degrees to-day. The ground i* a little iliueleareai 1 have ever seen so *oon after a fire. Scarcely a stick of burnt wood, even, reiiiiins, except a few post*, wtii.Ut.io still standing, perhaps it i» against the taw to tnke away anything that keene"on iia feet." At all events, tbete are acre* irpuu acre* a* hare ns If there had never been a bou*e upon them. Thousands of poor creature* are honee leas to-day, but they will nearly all dud mine relative to shelter them until they can pes. up their habitations . .gam, and probably there will be lees suffering than urn our tbe same number of poor people, under like c.reuin- Btaaces, in any of th»* large cities of America.

It i*. not known that Lord Cowley's mlasloa to L-.,oi.in w is i.i return t the negotiations be iwceiiil.l,gland an.l Franoe, which were inter nipted hy (Vmiiii Wnlewbki. The hasi- of these negotiations w.is the principle »f non mu i ventioti in the affairs of Central Italy.— I ranee, m adopting the same basis, is de-irons that tb» whole ot Europe should five a for mal adhesion to that principle. With this view Lord Cowley was solicited to sound the feelings ol ihe British OoTenUßeat as v the advisability of addressing a collective note to ihe European Cabinets, iv which note an in fraction ol the principle of non-intervention was to he considered a r a <_s belli. The British Cabinet, while expressing a readlaess to sup port the principle of non-intervention, either at the Congress or in communications with foreign powers., pointed out the impossibility of pledging,with..utiliec..nseiit of Parliament to a course ol pollcy which involves the DOS sihilny of hostilities. The feeling in North ern C. .arts emverisa to some tears that Europe would not tacitly -submit to ho threatening tin intimation, whic* also implied tbeodopUoa of principle., opposed to the independence of ev.ry State which possesses the right of form ing socb alliances as it may think proper, at iits own <,r peril.
