A man named John Leonard, who at that

PROBABLE HoNIcIDE--THu SPIRIT or VIo-
LENcE VIsITs WEDDINa.-It is not often
that the spirit of violence visits the house in
which, according to a popular delusion, q
couple are being made happy, and that, too,
just at tho moment they have spoken the
words that are supposed to possess this magic
power; but such was the case, night before last,
in this city. A couple Of young men named
Michael Feeney and John Lawler, who had
for some time been to each cther what they
would call friends, met at wedding party,
on the corner of Ludlow street and Congress.
During the evening they drank quito freely Of
the enemy which Seneca, before Shakespeare,
said stole away mems brains, and afterward
quarreled. In The crasod condition of the
parties, maddened by anger and by wine,
Feeney stabbed Lawler in the left breast, the
knife passing into the cavity Of the chest, just
below the heart. L. was taken to his homo,
at the corner Of Third and Lock streets, i'm
mediately after the afffay but in an attempt
to take the instrument from tho wound, which
must have been quite bungling, the blade was
broken, and this renders his condition still
more critical. F. was arrested, and yesterday
morning committed in default of bail to the
amount of $4,000, for his appearance before
the same tribunal on Friday next.

A CONFIDENTIAL PARTY CAUGHr.--A man,
whose name we could not learn, who was
about to leave for Dubuque, was met yester-
day on the wharf by an individual who said
he was going to the same place, having been
purchasing goods In this city which he had
shipped upon the steamboat Denmark. While
they were conversing upon this subject q
third party approached, who pretended to be
themerchant from whom the goods had been
purchased, with bill for fifty dollars, where
upon the sharper asked his newly formed ac-
qusintanoe to lend him fifty dollars. The
stranger luckily had but SO, and just at this
moment q couple Of our police came up and
arrested the would-be confidence mon, and
committed them to the Hammond street Sta
tion-house. Their names are William Davis
and James @. Watson, and their late adven-
ture will probably consign them for some
months to that classic locality known as the
City Prison.
