Monday morning. March 3.

A Norfolk paper, of Feb. 25, says, that on Friday night, about the hour of 8 o'clock, a barber by the name of M'Kinnan, and who is upwards of 60 years of age, went into a house of a Mrs. Everitt, a widow in Bank-Street, and having some altercation with her, stabbed her in the left breast with a sharp pointed instrument, which immediately put an end to her existence. A man who was in the place at the time, and who attempted to arrest the murderer, was also stabbed by him in the breast, but not to endanger his life—we are sorry to remark that this diabolical assassin has made his escape.
