they know, from the great intercourse of the people, this very arrangement will forever meet wants thSt must be supplied at a sacri- fee, and then ask himself, if such system can have the sanction of Government pro fessing to be just and honest? To us, the very idea is ntolerabe So long as the Bank has the right to demand zuhat they Eiea8e, and are perhaps only restrained by their own interest from it's eHcrci"e, Q" ,n nther words, are not quite so foolish as the boy who ripped open hls goose for aU her golden eggs at once, the currency of the country is neither ''un;f,rm nor sound" We are at the mercy of mon ster, whose sagacity is its conscience, and re- gulates its appettes, not so much by the quantity as the ccnstancy of it's gorges. But ofall the evidences selected in proof of the forbearance of the Bank, this is not cnly the most unfortunate, but certainly the most de- lusive, and but single thought will convince the most slleptical. Ifthis half per cent. was all the Bank got for it's accommodation, is there any folly so great as to believe it would accept and exercise it's Charteri Would it transact all the drawing of this immense em- pire, for this premium alone? No one be- lcvcs it. The mind naturally looks abroad for the reason of this great accommodation, and is the more curious on this subject, as it recollects that a Bank was never known to do favor, even from the most sickly sentiment of lberality. But the mystery is all cleared up, when it is remembered, that connected with their own immense capital, by which control all the monied transactions of this extensive country, and wielded as it is, in every manner in which an artful monopo- ly can employ it, to their incalculable advan- tage, they have the full benefit of twenty five millions more of the public money. Well may they accommodate the people with so small discount as one her cent. when it is done with the peoples own money, drawn into their vaults through the ever-aching pas sage of ofGovernment burthens. Who would not sell and buy his o7un notes at one per cent. if he were furnished with the money for mo- thing' Oh! astonishing moderation! Amaz- ing forbearancel

India Rubber Hatss=-S@<Se go; there is no end to inventions and improvements of the present day. The following is an extract from communication in the Advertiser, dated at Gardiner, in this State. Verify, when we read it, it essentially relieved the sorrow we begun to feel, that our hat was waxing old- Portland (A1aie) Courier.
 "More than six months ago, Mir Laban L. Macombcr, an industrious and intelligent ma nnfacturer in this place, was led to try the experiment of introducing India Rubber into the composition of hat bodies, and by continued trials he has at last succeeded beyond his eX- pectations. He is now On the point of throw ing these hats into the market, and they will be found to be an elegant article, but this Is by no means their greatest recommendation
 They are exceedingly light, weighing, on an average, abeut four ounces, and are so elastic that they may be folded like handkerchief may be crushed into any shape, and will i'm mediately return to their original form with out being injured in the smallest degree. They may be folded in a trunk by the traveller, and at the end of the longest journey can be re- stored to shape without any difficulty and without sustaining any injury. The substance may be made into caps of any shape whatev- CT; and MT Macomber IS now preparing a few caps for the market in the latest fashion
 Another great cxcellency of this preparation IS, that it may be exposed to rain, and become harder instead of softer by the exposure, and the nap, when dried, will net be injured in ap- pearance. All things considered, l cannot believe but that these hats must oust entirely the old kiud from the markets.
