SEARCBING FOR THE BURIED TREA-
SURES OF THE SEA.

At a meeting in this city, on Wednesday, of the
stockholders of the Boot en Reeief and Submarine Com-
pany an interesting report was made by the directors, of
the result of two expeditions of the company to recover
treasures buzied in the sea One of these expeditions
was to raise the vessels and other materials sunk by the
Russians in the harbour of Sebastopol. In this expedi-
tion as yet only a partial sueceas has been obtained. The
two vessels of the expedition are, however, to be em-
ployed the coining season in operaeing upon vessels in
Turkish waters. The other expedition has been sent to
she Caribbean sea, under the command of Captain
Couthouy. After various misadventures, the whole of
the crew being attacked with yellow fever at St. Thomas,
from which they all fortunawity recovered, at length the
Bay of Cumana, in Venezuela, was reached, where work
was at once commenced upon the sunken Spanish fri-
gate San Pedro, and it ha's been continued steadily ever
since. The several divers connected with Captain Cout-
houy'e forge spent in the aggregate about eight hours
and a half under water daily during the time they bad
been at work upon the wreck. After removing a vast
amount of deck material the divers penetrated into the
deck room, where they found gun carriages, furniture, &a.
piled up in one large mass, making any attempt at work
useless without first removing it. At this place tour mag-
nificent brass cannons were taken out and 11 bexes, sup-
posed to he cast-steel ; they were of the size of a candle
box, but were thought by some, to be platina. Silver
dollars were also found in the depth of sixty feet in the
water, covered with mud, but they were mostly separate.
Several gold watches were here taken out and many
other valuable articles, and the divers came to the con-
&mien that when the explosion of the vessel took place
these articles were driven from the forward part of the
ship where the bulk of the treasure undoubtedly re-
mained. Taking this as a reasonable view of the ca,,e,
they proceeded to their work with renewed vigour, and
after great difficulty suceee-led in clearing away the
large amount of rubbish, and obtained an entrance to
the hold of the forward part of the ship on the 12th of
December last. About $7OO in specie and another brass
e;x-pounder were taken out at this place in a short time,
also watches and many curious relics. Toe in ,ney
found here was cemented together in nulls of $l5, .:$2O,
and and very plainly showed that they must
he vs:royo hneeaac'
r the vast amount of money contained in
this ship. According to th,,, °facie' documents, when
the San Pedro went down she contained one million
Speniele dollars, and a million and half of gold, a large
portion of which should be there &till. Tno work was
now fairly commenced, and the directors felt greatly
incoaraged, and saw no reason why the stockholders
should not be so. The last advises, whioh were up to
January 1, represented that they had been unexpectedly
etepped in their labours by timber, &el., in the bold,
but hoped in a short tone to remove it. In the mean-
time, Captain Certhouy had ben to the capitel to obtain
license fir his di vere to dive for pearls at the Pearl Bank.
