MORE Amour SEARCH OF Mr.. HowARD's
HoUSE.-The fellow who was selected by Mr.. John
r. keso to head the squad of vice police detailed

CoSDUCT OF SOLDIERs-STABBING AFFRAYs-
Drunken soldiers still infested our streets ye.ter-
day, and in every part of the city these fellows
were staggering about or lying upon the pavrments
in state of beastly intoxica,ion. This state of
affairs culmirated in one or two serious afrays
about sunset. Two members of the Scott Life
Guard 4th New Y orK regiment got into dispute
in front Of the drinking house of Mrs. McTaig on
Little Water street. about six O'Clock in the eve
ming, when one of them, named James Dolan, it is
alleged was struck on the head with a stick by the
other, William Boyle. Dolan then drew his
bayonet and plunged it into Boyle in several places
iniiicting two serious wounds in the lungs one in
the abdomen, and another in the cheek. The
parties were then separated, Dolan being taken to
the Middle district station house and locked up,
while Boyle was cnnveved to the Lombard Street
lnhrmary, when DR.. Mlholland, resident physi-
clad, dressed bis injuries. He was alive
at late hour last evening, but was ra-
pidly sinking, and but slight hopes were en-
tertained of his recovery. In short time after
this afray another occurred on Liberty street. near
Lombard, between John Drey berg and William j.
Mofftt, both members of the Scott Life Guard
The result of this difficulty was, that Dreyberg
drew long knife and stabbed MofIitt twice in the
side, the short ribs; he also received a wound
upon his lett arm, in attempting to parry the blows
from his assailant. After Drey berg had committed
the act he jumped into hack and drove off but
was observed by Lieut.. Boyle, of the 37th New
York regiment, who happened to be near, and who
ordered the hackman to stop. The Lieutenant then
took the knife from him. and calling a yice-police.
man to his aid, took the offender to the Western
Station-house. Mofitt was then placed in the hack
and conveyed to the Station, where DR.. Armitage
attended him. No evidence of any internal he
