THE RIOT IN NEWARK. n. ].
FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Yesterday there was considerable excitement il
Newark but no violence on account Of the riot Of the
previous day. We give some additional lriicuars.
Tie Neuark Daily Adrerfiser says that, in refer
ence to the CONNIE ncemeDt Of the riot opinion can
be justly formed from the present floating rumors a;
10 where the curabity Of originating tie disturbance
belongs. IL has been currently reported that there
were persons stationed inside the church. bat the Of
fcistng clergyman earnestly protests that this is
wholly untrue and that he quietly dining, with
out any knowledge of the disorder, till he was alarmed
BY the noise OF destruction.
The greatest portion OF the procession, which was
about hali mile long, had passed the Catholic
Church, when as the rear opposite to Shipmln-
ST on the corner of which the church situated, q
stone was thrown at the procession, having been dis
CHARGED according to the best information we can
gain, from Shipman-st. A large ,rowd of Irishmon
had gathered in the vicinity Of The church, and ~
tween these aud the members Of the process ion ter
rife fight, with stones and pistols Immediately
menced and scene OF indescrba5le confusion en-
sued Those who made the attack on the pro ;ess.On
rushed into the church and discharged stones and
pistols from its windows, es veraldsineresed spec
tators have asserted in our hearing. This caused a
rush from the procession toward the church. The
sssnian,s being driven out the members Of the pro-
cesson demolished the interior Of the church, tearing
No the benchc- shaterng the organ, aars pictures,
sc, and rendering the whole scene of ruin. Both
parties were armed, and in the melee many pen sons
were injured.

The Coroners Jury organized in the hall of the
Court House yesterday morning, having been refused
admiss,n to the Court rooms, but the testimony
taken thus far throws no rev light on the case.
Tie leading members Of the Catholic clergy, Rev.
Messrs Moran and McQuaid, attended the inyest-
CATION With counsel, for the purpose Of eciting fall
and impAriisl Interrogation of all the particulars
but the Jury thus far feels II to be their duty con
fine themselves simply to the immediate cause Of
Mccarthy death, leaving the general investigation
as TO the origin of the riot to other authorities.

O post r,0rteps examination Of the body of Mccarthy
and found two pistol balls within him. They hal en-
tered one about two inches above the O,l4er on the
lower part of the right ide of the abdomen. The
lower ball passed through the ent as and entered the

perforated twenty holes in the entraiIs and the
wounds Of either ball were sufficient to produce death.
