Brutal inhumanity—As a Mr. Thomas Ten Eyck was driving furiously through Broadway yesterday between twelve and one o'clock, he suddenly turned down Rector street, and ran over a child (a fine boy of about eight years of age) of Mr. Monteiro's: fractured his skull, and otherwise injured him. Yet the brutal conduct of this man was such, that he never stopped one moment, but drove on as if nothing had happened. The humanity of a Mr. Myers from Virginia, and others, coming up at the moment, took care of the child, and carried him to Dr. Hosack's, where his wounds were dressed, and where he now lies dangerously ill.
