OUB FBW HAVBN CORRESPONDENCE. Naw Haven, Ct, April 90, 1888. The trial of Witham 8 Tuckerman for mail rebbery at various times in November last, and which commenced be- fore the United States Circuit Court in this city, Judge In- nol} presiding, on Tuesday the 27tb inst. , came to a0 unex: pected termination this morning, by one of the counsel for the prisoner notifying the court that he bad eencluded to consent to a verdict on the part of the juryjef guilty om all four of the charges contained im the indictment, which embraced four distinct offences commitied on the route be- tween New York and Boston, en the Lith, 20th, 22d and 29th of November. Such was the porittve nature of the proof elicited on the first day’s examimation of the government witnesses, that the ultimate conviction of the, prisoner became quite apparent to ail who were present. It is believed that from the first examination before the United Staten Commissioner the main reliance of his counsel was upon the failure of the government to prove the locality of the offence, the trains from which tbe maila were stolen passing through the States of New York, Conmecticut and Massacbusette. Bat 80 thoroughly had the evidence in this cage been prepared by Mr. Shipman, the United States Dis- trict Attorney, and the Post Office Agent who detected Tuckerman, that all hope of escape through thet means seemed to depart from his counsel after the proof applicable to the first charge hai been submitted. All ressonable doubt aa to the com- mission of the offence withim the limits of Connecticut was not only removed, but the fact was clearly proven. Nothing then remained but te trace into Tuckerman’s pos- session some of the contents of the stolen mails. This it was well known the government could do ‘But the case was allowed to progress uniil three cut of the four charges 'e poeitively proven, and the last link im the chain supplied by the teatimony of the special agent, as to finding the stolen letters and other mail mat- ter upon err of Tuckerman, and in his at the time of his arrest.

Additional advices from New Granada, dated at Bogota on 28th of March, have been received. The following letter from our correspondent will be found highly interesting :-— The convention Cags-Herran (which, properly speaking, must not be called a treaty, as it is but a special agree. ment for the settlement of the pending claims of Ameri- can citizens), had not been disposed of in the Senate of Bogota, as iate as the 28th of March, because the special committees of the Senate to which the matter had been committed had not presented apy report. Te was generally supposed that that report would be favorable to the convention on the whole, or propose some slight modidcations not affecting at al) the main object of that instrument—i.¢., the payment of the claims of American citizens who suffered losses cr damages on ac- count of the Panama riot of the 16th of April, 1856. About ‘this there was no question at all in the republic, and all parties feel gratified at the kind and fair way in which President Buchanan and General Cass have facilitated the ‘The party which defends the administration of Senor Ospina advecates the approval of the convention without modification, and a jong and very well written pamphiet which bad appeared lately in Bogota, defending the whole convention, is generally attributed to Ospina himself. Most of the objections raised to this instrument, made by its adversaries, are objections about dangerous interpreta- tions, which, they say, might be raised afterwards against New Granada in casea similar to the present; and they object also to the 7th article, which spontaneously grants to the United States government the privilege to lease or purchase a piece of ground in one of the isisads of the bay of Panama, for the purpose of establishing a coal depot thereon, under the sovereignty of New Granada. ‘want to have the word “‘purchase”’ stricken off, for several reasons. They seem to fear, too, that by that grant the Panama government might be, after some time, always under the pressure of the American government and interest; and they vay they don’t want to bave there an exclusive pre. ponderance of the American population upon the ve and foreign one. The writer of the pampbict, in these or similar words, sayy “that js just what we want: to promote in the civilized world a mutual interest apd power t populate those upiphabited territo- ries; apd mot only we don’t fear, but we evidently wish to see in those islands citits of Americans, and Spaniarcs, and Engiishmem, and Frenchmen, and Germans, &c. Being once grented to the United States, the concession of ‘Th article, we will make the same grant to England, to France, and to avy other Power who may desire to guarantee our sovereignty upon the Iethmus, aud the neutrality of that territory; and if attract in that way the exuberant population and the com- merce of those countries, after some years we will soo those solitary regions transfermed to one of the happiest and richest countries in the world. That has been al- ways, and that must forever be, the policy of the New Granadian government.” The wi pamphlet is written in this philosophical and far sighted poist of view, and in terme as conciliatory and friendly for us az we could wish.

On the 22d September, 1849, the Congress ef Nicaragua ratified the charter of the ‘American, Atlantic and Pacitic Ship Oamal Company,” authorizing them to construct a abip canal or railroad across the Ietbmus. In the follow- ing month of August some amendments and modifications ‘were made and aleoratified, This charter provided thatthe capa) should be of such dimensions as may be necessary for vessels of al) sizes; but another article provided that \f any natural obstecle tmtervened that the company might conatract a railroad and water communication be- tween the two eceane, within the same period stipulated for building the canal (twelve years), and subject to the same terme, conditions, regulations and restrictions.

To facil! ‘the Canal Company’s labors and afford an interoceapkc commuvication while the ship canal was being constructed, the Nicaraguan government authorized the Sbip Canal horny resented by Joseph L. White, to divide and separate from the contract of 1849 all the powers, privileges, rights aud duties not essential to the construction or use of the shyp canal, and also to form @ new company composed of the same members of the former, to be called the “ Accessory Transit The charter creating this company was ratitied in Granada op the 14th of August, 1861, by Fruto Chamorro, Mateo Mayorgs, and Joseph L White. This was the of tbe Transit Company whose operations were kn xcked into smash by Walker anc his filibusters.

Accordingly, on the 26th of last Gctoder, Senor Yrisarri delivered it in due form to Mr. Stebbins, and it is Dow, as wo stated yesterday, snugly deposited in the breeches pocket of Joe White, Ip this document the Accent Tracait y is declared extinct. The time within which the Shi; Company are to put the route in operation was fixed at the 26th of January last; but the Nicaraguan jt has extended the time toa year Jater if req , with the understanding that it sto be commenced sooner ‘f possible. Mr. White thinks that the route will be opened in July. | His agent, Mr. Body, we are informed, obtained authority the Nicaraguan erpment to parchase the river svamers la Virgen and Carlos, together with ali the Transit Company's pro- perty at Punta Arepas.
