WASHINGTON.
September 21. Telegrams to hand from Long Branch announce that the body of the late President will leave for Washington to-day, where an inquest will be held on Friday, and on Saturday will be conveyed to Cleveland, Ohio.; The result of the post mortem examination shows that the ball fractured the ribs, and shattered the vertebra of the back-bone, finally lodging below the pancreas gland of the liver, where it was found completely encysted. The immediate cause of death was rupture of the mesenteric artery in the cavity of the abdomen retaining the intestines. There is general mourning throughout the States, and business is everywhere suspended.
