Nkw-Yobk, Jan 19. .?/, Extra ordinary Hoy. Yesterday morning, a strange little boy was brought before the Magistrate at the Police Ofik-e. reported on the Watch Returns as being a lodger This extraordinary child isten years of age, was very thinly clad, is but four feet two inches high, delicate make, and weak eyes. On being asked by ihe Magistrate who he was, and where from, he gave the following account.— “My name is lie Grass Griffen —I am ten yea*s old—my father is a boatman in Killing-worth, Connecticut—my mother left there for Philadelphia last summer— she parted from my father— he don’t lake any care of me. About four weeks ago I started from Kiilingworth fop Philadel phia, to sec my mother—had not a cent when I started—walked part rs the wa. and rode part. My sister (who is a marri ed woman) told me in what part of Phi a delphia I would find my mother. When I got there I found that she was dead—l remained there, going about the town, about a week—l th-n started to com. back A gentleman in Philadelphia gave r.-.e a twenty cent piece, an elcven-pt nnv bit, and a five penny bit—l have the twee ty cent piece yet. I got into this town • i sterdav morning—had m illing to e»t d day yesterday till in the evening, nen I got some clams at a little sum I •ear the river I calculate to » art f , tome this morning, and to get a stage driver to give me a ride."

His deportment was mannerly, ■ h.s answers nrompt, clear and brief; he appeared to f,. e l „o want, asked for nothing, nor made ■my complaint, but had perfect confidence *,„ his own powers and ability to get to the end of his journey on his twenty cent fund.

The murder wh'ch wc briefly noticed in our last paper, appears t A have been one of the most shocking description, ami for the ri'M'it of human iiatnre,we sine re lv hope, that the vep irt of the murderer being detail,ged, mav turnout to be true The following are the particulars, wlnclt have corn** to our knowledge. On New V v’s d.v, Mrs. Vanauken, wife of Wilhelm ns Vanankcn, of Wantage, ’ Sussex count v. N. Jut's/, went to a spin ' plug frolic, St her sisurfc For a consul.*- , Table length ol’ time/ (perhaps two m three years) previous/to this, Vananktn had,been in the habit# frequently threa tening to kill bis ivife, and also Vr daughter, to whom k was a«tep father; providentially, this mild was absent frem home n r the time oflthe murder, nr in all probability sh» u/uld have shared (he file of her unfortunate mother During ’ the former part of'the day, Vnnauken s- nt a black bovto t*/l his wife to come home, as be was near raying—she paid but little attention M this,' knowing it was not the fact—he sent the same message again His wife and her sister th-n sent him an invitation to come and take dinner with the ’i, IovU« nfiomwii. He sect the black 1 Uovawavto keep holiidav, telling him r to st„v :«U nigbt Towards evening he J went, himself for his wife—she returned with him in the evening—about bed time ( lie took up a hook and went -I o reading , —sb: went, to bed, and fell asleep, [this is Ins own statement] he put out the fire aid candle, am) made an attempt to cut her throat with a do.iblv bladcd knife— she awoke, and |souffle ensued, in which site nearly him, and from die blood in (he walls and doors, it is evid< ntshn waslsndeavorinp to make her eseane. Flo .ling be could not succeed in cut’ingher throat, he took a large stick of wood and gave her a severe blow ove:- t't Inad. He afterwards heat her over the hack part of the head with an andiron. At what stage of these brutal ads of vio- I nee I lie fatal blow was given it was ira possible to ascertain—but the deed was dote. He immediately went to the nearest neighbours and told them he had killed his wife requesting some of the women logo and lay herout, and telling them to take a ligh , as there was no fire in the house—from there he went to the other neighbours with them to the dreadful scene of his guilt She was found laying on herkres and face, almost naked, her linen being neatly t„rn f *om her She was lif-r dv covered <vith bru'ses, wounds and slabs. Some of the bar kof the club v»-a run/ • »n* I amt TCI* muined there—she had several s'a .s like the stabs of a fork. The knife was found half open and h'oody on the floor The club was also bloody with some of the brains sticking to it If any thing can add to the. enormity of this transaction, it is the fact that Mrs. Vanauken \v s in a stAe of pregnancy, and expected to be confined in three inoiphs. At the time of ’he murder three am ail children were asleep in the house; and after the neigh bora came, one of them creptjupon its life less nt olier. The reading of this na”ra tive of facts will naturally lead die mind into a train of reflections, on the horrible crime of murder, and We forbear.

We do not recollect to have seen in any edition es f-hak-'peare, what we derm a com ct reading of the following - nn'-r.agc : « i’atcut ike iifjh', and t' cn pvt cut t!;e light Titus it is punted; but from the con text, we should not conclude, that thus it ,v«s ■written Wc would give the reading differently •• Put out the light; n. d thcn-Put out (he light I 1 in; i tea .-I putting “out the light” of (he candle, as soon as the exclamation es capes him, assimilates itself in the ardent and thoughtful mind of Othel’o, with the extinction of human life i he pauses—then in a state es mental abstraction trout what f ‘e :s üboutto do, uiterorgates hnnscti * If I nuencli tliee.* thou limning minuter, I can again tli> former lignt restore, ghoul : 1 repent me but nnco put out hinc.T Thou cunoing st pattern of excelling nature, 1 know not, where ij that Promethean heat, mutvnii fcl.jr i-a'.-S i.'iutu/- ’’ This we conceive to be the true read ing. We hive neither room or time to say more at present, hut will anon. * The Candle. f Dcsdcmona I. may be consielcred by Machiavalian Statesmen, that stratagem* in politics, are equally justifiable as stratagems in war— but we will not admit the position to be suited to the g tnitts of republican instituti ons—because, if ,in one inrtance it is recog nized, it must, (unlefcs there be a violent departure from consistency,) be recogniz edaud conceded in every other We do not “ pin our faith” upon precedents—but this is no subject of precedent—because, if the position is admitted, it embraces that mon. s rous and destructive principle, which not only hazards, but sanctions the pros, tration of public rights, at the shrine of sycophancy and treason. It is vir tually holding out a bounty to Treason —it is, in effi ct, saying to her, if you can succeed, we are your willing satellites — It is a kind of bond between the conflict ing parties, in which mej mutually agic„, a prion, that which ever may reign “ i.ord of the Ascendant,” its supremacy will be tamely and meanly recognized. These re flections were occasioned after reading the pitiful manoeuvring, which took place in introducing before Congress, ihe Missouri question, under a new shape. Until parties have been equally to blame— they have sunk the dignity of our National L gislature, into the petty quibblings of a county court—and, instead of presenting the independent front of American States men, they have discovered to us the made-up face of a nisi pritts lawyer. Away with such mean subierfuges—let not the lofty and manly character of the lie-public be stigmatized with the odious epithet of prevarication Practically, we have never considered the constitution of Missouri repugnant to the great charter of our rights—but have always believed, that she ought, without hesitation, to have been admitted as one of the federal family. The objectionable feature in her constitution is tolerated in every slave-holding state, and has never been deemed to be at variance with the well understood and fundament:.! character of our government. Tlie abstract part of the question, all good men must concede—but that is not now the subject of consideration; for it has been long ago done away with, as effectually as die nature of human things and existing circumstan ces would permit. Congress may delibe rate aslong, and as loud as it pleases ; Mis. sonri will, after all, come into the Union, upon the same terms which she has already proffered ;—but, let her advocates take ber by the hand, and introduce her lion, oralily'—independently. The following is an outline of the pro ceedings to which we allude— Proceedings of Congress HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Fninir, Nov. 12. The Tournal of the preceding day was read, which is, according to the Rules of the House, the first business on the open ing of each day’s sitting. The first entry in the Journal of yester day was read in the following woids: Mr Lovnides presented three memori als of the S> nate and House of Represen tatives of Missouri— one praying that the purchasers 0 f public lands may be per milted to apply the payments already' made to such of their entries as the said payments will cover, at two dollars par acre, relinquishing the residue of the land to the United States—atiotlur pito, ingthat rerst ns entitled to the right of nre-emption in the purchase of public lands, may be permitted to make pay. ■went for said lands within the times here, mfore prescribed by law, m- prompt pay. ment, at.the option of the person holding such pre-emption rigid—die other, pray, ing that the right of pre-emption in the purchase of public lands may he extend. od to certain settlers thetein described which memorials were referred to tho committee on the Public l ands.
