[From the E!

One portion of the press expressed iteei( in the ramo sense; but another section defenaing the Gene in Chief commanding the siege, pr that toe lat had geod reazops for employing such clemency; fo: ‘when he was to conclude the capiiulation, there wore, = distance of but cue day’s march trom Puebla, the insurrectionary forces of Osolio, Gutierrez and Cobos ai vavelvg in the dircotion of the besieging army, and tt ‘Wos not advisable for bim to place himse!! between two Ores.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSION :. Before Judge A. D. Russe . Jax, 14.—The court met this mornioy at ten o'clock, yhen the summing up of the trial © Thomas Dening, who ts charged with arson in the first degree, was com- menced, ‘The District Attoraey stated that he would withdraw the second count in the indictment, which alleged that ho maliciously set fire to hia own dwelling house. Mr. Brady addressed the jury for the accused, to whic Mr Ball, the District Attorney, replied, The jury took # recess of a few minutes, aud then Judg Russell proceeded to dediver his charge. Ho sald tha the prisouer at tho bar was charged with a great crime— area in the first degreo—which was puuishable by death. From the magnitude o! the offenve it becam: neoeesary for the jury to give tne closes scrutiny to ail ite ciroumstances connected with it, and tf pos- aible divino the moves that 1us'igated the perpetration of this crime, The indiciment contained three counts, ‘be first was afson in the tires degree, tho second was tho burn ng cf bis own dwelling, and the third the firing of the store with the intent to deirand the Bowery Fire Lo svrance Company. arsoa generally could only be suz- \einec by circumstantial evidence, and to warrant a con- violion the eniire chain of eiroumstauces must bo per- fect. fo cotviot tuder the first count, the prosecution nual ehow that the Dullaing was fired in the aight timo nd (bat it was an iDaadivod dwelling atthe time of the commirzion of the offence; that taore wes some human ‘Detng living tu the house, As to the Aret proposiiioa, it was shown the mavnor la wuicd tho builoing was fired There was some deliberation, 1t was true; @ (ub with com. bustibio apparsivs saturated with camphene was placod dows ia the cellar, with an acger hole vored aad ehay igjs yotiB WW communieme to the etore; shavings aud cumphene were fixed all around the stairs, under tho casks and in the bing Was there say evidence Laat those pre- mises were Bet fire 10 \u the ight time?

Anoiher thing the jary must du was to exquire toe motive, apart trom the fact thatthe property ‘was insured. What motive taduced the prisoner to dre the building? Thore was certainly no policy produond. Thoy bad the mero statements of the clerk that un insurance of some kina was eifected on some property; but where or what was the nature of the property, did not appear, aud the onty couneotion the prisoner bed with 1t was by bis culling at ihe insurance ollice wad asking that tho policy might bo transferred from one house to another.
