Correspondence Of the New Yor:: Worlt.i !

The venerable Captain Kidd. who, as 4 ccr-
lain obscure poet once insisted, remarked
xonldcat:a1ly. In rhyme, that he

has again. in point OF memory, became m
object Of itcrcst. It appears that serer.i
enthusiastic gentlemen, many Of them iuttu-
entlsl citizens Of this city. have determined
to form company for the purpose Of pros
pcc;ins for the fsccbootcrs treasure, which
with turf nu Thisnble Island, stu
atrd in Long Island Sound, about
fifteen miles from New lIaren. Tue
project as not new, AZ FOR many years ercdu-
syr1!ing the exact locality where Captain
Kidd hEr.sG his gold. and most of them have
given Thit,ile Island the preference over all
other localities. In fact, It hus not nutre.
quehtly been the ease that within the past
twenty ycaEs the excitement has bccotnc 81
1ipe that many private companies have been
secretly organized, and during the summer
months have pruspccted with considerable
-vigor.
The entire theory, ns Gar as Captain Kidd
exploits ia tue vicinity Of Thiaole Island arc
scoacc,ncd, rests upon certain circumstances
ircspectiu: his return to America after his
ritatical catcen 1t seems to be Eelf-estab-
lishcd fact that be did harbor lis vessel under
the Ice Of Thinlblt Islaud, or rather Thimhlc
Islauds, (ti:crc being Two Islands Of the same
name neayly adjoining each othcr,> aud that
his vessel was completely hidden from the
cruisers then searching lor him. It Is a1sn
well known that the freebooter and his crew
frequently 1audcd on tho larger Of the Thin,
bic Islands, and that they uninterruptcdly
held their midnight orgirs there for snlne
time Unc Of thc. principal objects OF curl
osits on the island is aptain hidt's punch
bowl, large excavation in one OF the rock:
ncsr the share, perfectly symmetrical in4 it,
proportions; aud although quite pondcfou
IL uprcalaEse, is very eNuctly forlned to sui

As the EFr''d has already Informed the pub
