ANOTHER CASE IN CoNNECTICUT.-Warre
Leland of the Metropolitan Hotel, New York
city was arrested, discharged and re-arrested,
on charges connecting him with the Colchester
Bank swindling case. The principal witness
against him was Sam. +. Jones, Jr., who show
ed that Leland was concerned with him in get
ting the charter OF the bank, and then he gave
the following account of the peculiar method
of banking adopted by those in charge of the
concern -
st cost about $4,000 to get the charter
through, which was equally divided between
Jones and the Leands. Witness had received
about $50 letters from Leland upon the sub
ject. The irstinstallment OF capital stock was
paid Oct. 2, 1856, amountingto $4,000. This
last was bogus paper-S2, $50 only was in spe-
Gle. The subsequent installmeuts were paid
up in like manner by bogus paper, by which
the witness explained that he meant paper
signed by wholly fcticious names or irrespon-
sible persons. The paper would be taken up
on maturity, by the LelandS and similar paper
substituted When the bank suspended, it had

SLAVERY EXCITEMENT AT WAsHINGToN.-
The flight of several slaves from the estates of
Rev. DIR. Lippett, Dr. Fitzhugh, and Commo-
dore Jones, on Saturday night last, from plan
tations in the vicinity of Washington, sup
posed to have had some connection with Browns
insurrection at Harper's Ferry on Sunday
night has caused much sensation at Washing
ton. The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, under date of Oct 49, says =
The interest here in everything concerning
the recent nsurrection continues great Last
night one of the publishers Of the National Era
ian anti slavery paper) made application at the
central guard house, asserting that threats had
been made to destroy their property, and they
had reason to fear that an attack would be
made in the course of the night. Lieutenant
McHenry assured him that a watch would be
preserved over the property, though he had no
reason himself to apprehend such an attempt.
The chief of police arriving, instructed the
guards to pay attention in that direction, but
there was no indication of any such movement
through the night"

THE HARrRR'S FERRY INsuRREcTIoS,-
Rev. Mr., Richardson, delivered yesterday af
ternoon in Salem street church, an able and
eloquent discourse Ell sthe recent affair at Harp
er's Ferry. The church was crowded in every
part, including the aisles and passage ways.
The text was from Isaiah 30:13; Therefore
this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready
to fall, swelling out in high wall, whose
breaking cometh suddenly at an instant" He
commenced, by remarking that every wise
and skillful mason builds in accordance with
essential laws; for, if his brick walls do not go
up according to plumb line and with due re-
gard to the center of gravity, the laws of gray
itaton will lay hold upon them and at length
tumble them down. The cohesion of mortar
may prevent the catastrophe, but not long. So
in the political and moral world; any fabric of
human government constructed in disregard
and violation of the unchanging laws of God
is in danger of being rent and shattered by the
invincible force of those laws. 1t cannot re-
sist them. Every such government must re-
move the dangerous defect and bring itself
into harmony with justice and truth, or it can
not possibly endure for any great length of
time. This doctrine was sustained by argu-
ment and illustration.
Mr.. Richardson then came directly to the
affair at Harper's Ferry, saying he should not
dwell upon its particulars, but should consider
the lessons to be drawn from it. 1t suggested
the dangers to the nation arising from the in
stitution of slavery. The trainers of our gov
eminent did not believe in slavery, and sup
posed it would soon disappear; but within
thirty years it had grown in power and infu-
ence, until it had fnally assumed to be ma
tional He drew vivid picture of the grow
ing aggressions of slavery, which had at last
repealed a compact and marched border ruff
fans into Kansas. This aggression had spread
everywhere a sense of justice violated,-a
sense of outrage; and in Kansas, where John
Brown had suffered wrongs that had provoked
him to vengeance, it had been stimulated to
intense activity. This feeling is dangerous to
our institutions. 1t threatens more outbreaks,
and will lead to downfall of the government
edifice if the cause of it is not removed. Mr.
R. believed that the proper remedy will be ap-
piled, and therefore cherished no dependency
in regard to the final result.
We have done little more than indicate the
topic of this discourse, which was listened to
by the large audience with the closest attention.

DETERMINED SUIcIDE.-Ertraordinary I7e-
ndctty Of Lve.-On Friday noon, an aged gen.
tleman, named Charles Knapp, residing in
Bumstead place, Boston, retired to his room
and made preparations for committing suicide
The Boston Herald says: He first wrote two
letters, addressed to a relative residing in Rox-
bury, containing directions in regard to the
disposal of his property, and then swallowed
large dose of laudanum. Before the opiate
had operated, he took razor and drew it
across the right side of his neck making
| CHASTITY wound, but not severing the jugular
veln Not satisfied with the result of this
wound, he took large butcher knife, with
which he had provided himself, and cut the
left side of his neck and throat, from which
the blood flowed most copously His strength
still remaining, and, as it would seem, his rea-
son also, he walked to table where he had
laid loaded double-barrelled pistol, took up
the weapon and fired the contents of one bar
rel into his head. The contents of the pistol
charge entered his forehead, between his eyes,
making hole nearly an inch in diameter and
breaking out several pieces of bone, which
were found on the floor of the room. After
the last effort at selfdestruction, he crawled to
the spot where he had laid the butcher knife
| seized 1t and drew the blade across his fore
| head several times,A infiictng terrible gashes.
lie now fell upon the floor, claSping the butch
er-knite i'll his hand, and torrents of blood
flowing from his wounds, in which condition
he was found by servant who was sent to
call him to dinner. Physicians were instantly
summoned, and, Notwithstanding the combined
effects OF poison, knife and pistol, he survived
until late in the evening, when death, which
seemed so reluctant at first came to his relief
Mr.. Knapp has been sea captain for many
years, in which avocation he had acquired
handsome fortune and had retired from active
life with the intention Of spending his remain
ing years III comfort and quiet ease He was
near relative OF Chief Justice Shaw's, and
has left maiden sister who resides in Boston
1t is thought temporary insanity was the cause
Of this melancholy case Of sef-destruction.
