OUK NEW ARRANGEMENTS.

Thanks to the favor with which the Stay is
regarded by 80 many thousands of our fellow.
citizens, We are compelled to publish hereafter
from larger premises, in position more easy
of access. To that end, we have leased the
buildings at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue
and ELEVENTH street, 80 well known as the prop
tr'y Of VIM J. Stone, Esq, and occupied for
the last ten years by Mr. Edwin Green. The
point is central. conspicuous, and in every way
much more convenient of access for our pumer-
Gus Patrons, being directly on Pennsylvania
avenue. We shall concentrate there our book
biadery, as we'll as our job printing Office, in
connection with the printing and publication
Office of the Star, and hope to be able to inau-
grrate the opening Of the new, convenient
and extensive establishment, which the kind
favor of our patrons of all parties has CON-
PEELED us 10 provide for our future business op-
eIati0ns. in 8 week or ten days.

TIE RIOT AT NEWARK,
TIE OTNkR SIDE or THE STORY.
or THE CATHOLIC PASTOR

The following statement was made BY the
Rev. Nicholas Ballots, Pastor Of the German
Catholic Church, which was destroyed at
Newark, n. j., on Tuesday last. The church,
or rather its remains, present, IL Is said, a
truly desolate appearance. The fences are
torn down, the windows and doors shattered,
the shrubs about the door crushed and broker;
and, in the interior, the altar overturned, the
sacred utensils and sacredosal robes strewed
around and trampled upon-the organ broken
to pieces. The images, consisting of q costly
Munich figure Of the Madonna, and cruci6x
corresponding, together with the pictures,
altar piece, and a splendid holy water font,
were also destroyed.
REV. Nh. BALLoIs's STATEMENT.
Mr.. Ballots states, that in the early part Of
the day he read in the paper the announce
ment Of the procession, and the route it would
take. He thought no more about it, nor made
any mention Of it until tho n usic was heard,
indicating that the party were nearing the
church, at which time he and three other cler-
gymen-two from Thirty-frst street, New
York, and the other from Brooklyn-were at
dinuer. He afirms that no person was in the
church before dinner time, and no person
could effect an entrance without it being known
to himself or either of the two fem lie attend =
ants who were in the house, in cor sequence Of
the Priests apartments being attached to, and
communicating with the church.
He further states that the first intimation he
had of any disturbance was the actual attack
on the church, and the only opposition made
in the church was by an old German woman,
who was employed in washing, and who rushed
in for the purpose Of preventing them from
demolishing the pews; one of the assailants
OF the Orange party presented pistol at her
breast, when she exclaimed Shoot, I'm only
a wOman.' whereupon he took one of the
altar coverings and threw it over her. and
then assisted in the work of demolition he
further adds, that SO far from having any fre-
arms in his possession, there was not q single
grain of powder in the building, and that all
who first entered the church did so through
the windows; and having done go, forced the
upper door, the lower one having withstood
all their efforts to break it; he says he feels
convinced that the riot either originated with
the party forming the procession, or by persons
hired for the purpose.
He says that there arc but few Irishmen
connected with his congregation, and that
those he saw assembled around the church
after the occurrence were Of a class and char
acter as would lead to the belief that they did
not meet there for the purpose creating any
disturbance-most Of them being women and
children; and men who were present came from
tame les and factories adjoining, in shirt
sleeves, and without any possible means of
concealing deadly weapons. He also said that
such was the fear of himself and friends that
they took off their cassocks and endeayored to
conceal themselves
