py OF SYMMEs's IloLE.-The precise position of
the mysterious place known to navigators by the
name of Symmes's Hole, has at length been disco
vered. fact which seriously interests our packet

To Captain Dunn, of the ship Philadelphia, is
due the credit of having first, solely through his
faith in the barometer, learned its whereabouts.
1t may now be set down on the charts, and as the
Latitude and longitude is given in the annexed
letter from Captain Dunn, it is very easily found.
We hope some of our indfatigable chart ma

TIE TRAVELLING SEAsoN.-The travelling sea-
son for the year IS47 has regularly COM
menced, and before many days elapse, our beau
iiful Hudson river, the great highway to the
North and West, will be covered with our splen-
did and magnificent steamboats,. Long Island
Sound, too, will be dotted in the same manner
The proprietors of the several boats on both of
these lines have spared no expense during the past
winter in adding to their splendor, as well as in
overhauling thoroughly their machinery, and re-
fitting and decorating their inside as well as
out.
We are glad To hear that Captain A. DeGroot
who commanded the Niagara the season after she
was built, will command the splendid steam
or Roger Williams, and will ply regu
larry between New York and Albany ihi.
season. He will commence as soon az the
river is open. Capt. De Groot is well known &c
travellers az one of our most skilful, urbane and
gcntemanly commanders. He has way of his
own by which he makes all under his care as
comfortable they would be at home in their
parlors. Whatever boat he commands is sure to
be a favorte with the public.
We are also informed that Capt Van Pet has
received command of the splendid Knicker-
booker, on the Norwich and Worcester route, to
Boston and Capt. Williams, the Worcester, on
the same route. These gentlemen are likewise
well known TO the travelling public as sklful and
accommodating commanders. The Kncker-
booker is one of the swittest boats on our
waters She left Norwich on Monday evening
last AT hal-past eleven o'clock, and arrived here
yesterday morning at seven.
Travellers will find everything necessary tc
their comfort and case on the boats commanded
by these three gentlemanly commanders.

Bilious DISORDERS.
This class of diseases is the Great
Scourge Of the western hemis phere. &c
wher re we may, their sad effects are seen
and felt. The brave and selCdenying
settler who presses his way to the west,
to make the evidences bud and blossom
as rose" meets this dreadful evil. He
is willing TO work hard and endure every
privation, thanks be to him. But in a
little while he is seized with some form
of bilious disease. His strength now is
weakness. Acloud comes over his pros
poets aud he exclaims, "would that there
we're some medicine to prevent this
dreadful evil, and to cure it when it does
seize upon its victim" From the mo-
ment Of the landing of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth to the present hour, bilious
diseases have sent sorrow and desola-
ton throughout the land. Let the graves
Of the loved and the lost tell the story!
A momentous question here comes up,
Does the Supreme Ruler.intend that the
toiling Sons Of the West, men so willing
10 bear the heat and burden Of the day.
should Of all others be subject 10 so sad
calamity. 1t is not irreverent to say
