 The N Y. Sun has horrible account of tho brutality of a schoolmaster, at Newark, J. We shall give part of the facts rela- ted by the Sun-for the spreading of the matter, and holding it up to strong disappro- val, may prevent similar occurrences else where :-
 A small lad, named Nicoll, aged about seven years, Gone of his scholars) was sent up to the desk for talking, for the doing of which he Che schoolmaster) whipped him very severely. The poor child, not yet knowing the rules and regulations of the school, said immediately after he went to his seat, that he should come to school no longer, if he was to be treated in that way. for which he was again sent up, and beaten most viofCnlly-his head was put between tho schoolmaster's knees, in which position he was beaten for nearly five minutes, until the flesh became beaten to perfect jelly, the child all the while screeching in the greatest agony. Atlast, to stop his cries, the brute of a master seized the child by the throat, and held him at arms length, until his face became the color of indigo. The child was then sent home, where he remain ed very ill, for upwards of a week. His pa- rents being poor, they are unable to prose- cue TOT O0lllaReS.
 Sad Accident.-Our citizens were pained to lenrn the sudden death of two young men of promise, this afternoon-Thomas s. Will Hams, 2d, and Andrew Tweddnle. They were in row. boat, sailing for pleasure on the Little River, short distance from the Connecticut, when they rowed near Wards dam. in order that their boat might be tossed by the eddies accustomed by the fall of water and in vcnturing too near the dam, their boat was overturned by the strong current, and they drawn into the eddies, from which it is almost impossible for any man to escape, when once thrown in.

 Revival of Business.-Yesterday was the busiest day Troy has seen for the last nine months. Our streets wore an aspect of activ- ity to which they have long been strangers, and our docks exhibited an appearance of business which was highly gratifying. The amount of flour, whoat, iron. and other com. modities, now coming down from the interi- or through tho canals. is very great, and must cause the return by the same channels
