THE PORTLAND RIOT.
Cnr,snnrdence Of The N. Y. Tribune.

Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.
PORTLAND, Tuesday. June &c. 1855.
The excitement growing out of our late riot
having pretty well subtided, may possibly do
your readers favor in briefly indicating its re-
suits of fact and popular effect The second
Coroner's Inquest on the body Of the IiOter who
was shot has not yet finished its sitting, bat is
nearly through. The evidence thus far clearly
shows that the mob was animated by common
purpose--tbat was, TO get POSSESSION of the ci.y
liouors-tbat il was of the most dangerous charac-
ter-that it was duly warned to disperse by sew
eral # the police before any firing by the latter
and that John bobbns was shot by the police be-
fore the arrival of the military while he was in the
act of entering the City Agency
Several witnesses testified TO seeing the flash
and hearing the report of pistols fred from the
midst of the mob. The testimony Of the police is
consistent ard conclusive Of their fOrbearance in
the use of firearms.
And vet such is the determined partisan bias OF
all the Jurors that verdict is not expected In ac-
cor0apce with the facts established But, as IN
tie opinion four best lawyers, this second inquest
is illegal, their verdict will be of no Importance
while tie testimony they have elected will prove
Of great value to the public.
The Committee of Investigation, chosen by the
Aldermen from our first citizens, will complete
their labors this week and nuke thorough re-
port Itmsy be relied upon as strictly correct.
Mavor Dow is now fully sustained by the best
and greater RaTt Of our community. Much OF the
excitement has been fOsteTed with the design OF
damaging tie Republican party OF this State-Dut
there will he the failure OF blunder ana the re-
coil of a crime.
