New York Atrocities. --On Saturday night, at eight o'clock, on the Bowery, one of the most public streets in New York, a man was found lying dead on the sidewalk, stabbed to the heart. The man was named John Sexton, and a "Baltimore actor." name not given, is suspected of some complicity with the murder. On Saturday night a man named Martin, residing in Brooklyn, murdered his infant child by horribly gashing its throat with a razor. A quarrel with his wife and jealousy was the cause; but the man is supposed to be partially insane. On Sunday night a man was attacked in the City Hall Park, New York, and badly cut with a knife by a party of men who attempted to rob him.
