KIDD's TREAsURE.-Gold Pieces, DiG-
monds, Gold Chains, Sc.-We have new
discoveries or disclosures connected with
the sunken treasure at Caldwell's landing.
We stated a few days ago that lady at
Lynn had seen the treasure in magnetic
sleep, and we annex a part of her wonderful
revelations, the effect of which upon the
market value of shares in the ''Kidd Salvage
Company" created marked sensation in
Wall street yesterday. We live in Won
derful age. The lady of Lynn, being thrown
into the mesmeric sleep, directed her vision
to Caldwell's landing, and thence to the
sunken vessel, making the following dis
coveries:
'First, finding a room near the stern,
which she called the captains office, she
as a common soap box, encircled by chain
which appeared as still somewhat bright as
if it had kind of gilt wash or leaf on it.,
fastened at each end by small-sized pad
lock. In it she said she saw silver and
gold-some gold in solid bars. She next
discovered, on the bottom Of the vessel, in
the mud and water, several small heaps or
collections of silver, gold and precious
stones, including diamonds, though mostly
in The rough or ore state. She next saw a
singular thing to her, which she at last cal
led quadrant or compass; she also spoke
of seeing gold watches like duel eggs in
a pond of water. A little az ward she
manifested great enthusiasm in finding an
other iron chest or safe, nearly the size of
the other, but having no chain around ii );
and after looking some lime very intentlyI
she insisted that she saw in it a splendid
gold crown, once worn by king or queen,
and also most magnificent necklace, made
in the shape of a harp, beautifully set with
the most brilliant diamonds.
ain examining farther, she spoke of see
ing nothing else of very remarkable char
acter, except several cannon, swords, and a
large quantity of cannon balls, till she en-
tered place which she described as a small
room, appearing TO be a very private room
of the captains, and which, according to her
account, seemed to be in the fore part of the
vessel. The last object she described was
thing which she first called a spy glass,
being round and something like yard long,
but she soon discovered that it was not a
spy glass, the outside of it being made Of a
very hard kind Of brown wood, within which
was kind of zinc case, made water tight :;
and after a careful examination, she decided
that it contained the manuscripts Of the pi-
rate, still in good degree of preservation,
though the paper, once white, is now yell
low, and the ink, once black, brown. These
manuscripts, she insisted, if they could be
obtained, would be very valuable, as they
would give full account of his life, includ-
ing the number of vessels which he had
robbed, and the places where he had buried
his other treasures.
81 must net neglect TO mention that ask
ed her if the men at work upon the vessel
would succeed in getting it up, and if they
would, how and when. Her opinion was
that they would succeed, but could not tell
exactly how or when, though she thought
the time was not far distant, and that they
would get treasure richly rewarding them
for their exertons and outlaws"
We hope this is no scheme to sell the
stock. Seeing diamonds looks little like
it.-N Y Sun.
