Stabbing Affray.

--Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, on 8th street, between Main and Cary, Thomas Burns, of Louisiana was seriously stabbed by Peter Reynolds. It appears that Reynolds was the party and chased Burns into an alley restaurants, and plunged a knife into his right side. Burns fell to the ground, and Reynolds, after wiping the blade of his knife on his coat, went on through the alley and undo his escape. Burns was taken in a back to his boarding-house, on Franklin street. His wound is quite serious. The parties had had several encounters before this one.
