(A correspondent of the Waterford Mail gives the following anecdotes of the late election for Clare ; "The contest turned wholly upon personal popularity, andcal cutt, who is a farmer-like, jolly Irish gentleman, ;was better calculated to win upon the people than the fashionable young captain of a crack corps. His wife, too, would make the fortune of any, can didate. A fine, dashing woman, she rode about the country in the carriage with her husband in his canvassing expeditions, and when he was one day in a public house, seeing a parish committee, and she was outside in . the open barouche awaiting hi-? return, the friezecoats gath ered around the vehicle, and giving three cheers for her honor, called upon hefto make a speech. Prompt as lightning she replied "I won't trouble yon my friends. with tny oratoiy,- tat -I'll give y'cu a forg, ji: which ar.

Mr. Editor: ' ' I wish to say a few rrcrd3 through' your paper to the teachers cf Christian-' ity, who are in the habit of offering:, up their prayers to the God of the Universe; while standing.' This is the "point -ia question. Was it the ancient mode" of Christians to prav'standinr nr Li!;n:,? The latter seems to nse the most' in ac cordance with the pattern given, and if it was the general habit then, it shculd be yet. Sir, I take the position, that it is the duty of all christians, to place them selves in as humble an attitude as possible, whenever they approach' their Creator iri prayer, though it is a very common thing to hear ministers say to their congrega tions ; for the sake of formality, -we will pray standing ;. then commence, by say ing we present ourselves, in the. attitude of" prayer. Now, if they have anyscrip-j . . n Z. T.I 1 . ' . iuic iu -uuuiu or sirenginen mis prac tice, I would liketo see it. However, I will proceechwTth a few quotations which I-think are quite enough to convince any one that standing is not the proper atti tude of prater. By referring to-Matt. VI 5, we learn, that the Hypocrites- lov'a to pray standing in the synagogues. &c.k that they may be seen of men!

The main object of the Society being to pro mote profitable cultivation, they do not propose to formation. In the first place it is quite apparent that there ha3 been a serious decline in the. population of most eastern cities. A few barely hold their own, and u." r rj t:h.'.! Ir.M .-- s of decrease, rV:ude::w, Khode l.-Ianu, has actually experienced a decrease ; the same is the case wi'h Syracuse, N-2W York. Even of the S3ia:s --f Ohio, th Q Cleveland Dem ocrat says: "It is feared the population, instead of advancing, has slightly decreas ed within the last ten year?, by emigra tion and otherwise. Some of our cotem poraries are warning their readers a gainst extravagant anticipations in rela tion to the increase in their respective localities. The Boston Advertiser re marks that those who expect much from that city will be. doomed to disappoint ment. The census returns of Cincinnatt do not hold out as good a prospect as had been expected, and it is thought the ag gregate population will not exceed 1S0, 000. Baltimore has also shown a small er increase than was anticipated. From most parts of New England, particularly New Hampshire, a decline is apparent. On the other hand, the great West is making tremendous strides. Illinois will show a population of 1,800,000 against 850,000 in ISoO, an increase of nearly one in illion. All of the Northwestern States give nearly as good account of themselves. It is likely that when the next apportionment of Congress is made that Illinois will gain 6 or 7 members, Wisconsin four or five, Iowa and Minne sota fuur cr five. The south western slates, particularly Arkansas and Texs, have also grown considerably within the last decade, and will be euubled to in crease their representation in Congress. Westward the star of empire takes its way. The great tide pushes onward to ward the Pacific, and ere long we may hear that the prosperity of Illinois and Wisconsin is culminating a3 is now that of the hitherto progressive State of Ohio. The aggregate population 'of the United States, as shadowed forth by the returns will not be short of thirty-two millions, an increase of nine millions during the last ten years. How fast the to) grows. The following correspondence is said to have taken place between a New Ha ven merchant and one cf his customers: "Sir Your account has been standing for two years, I must have it settled im mediately." To which the customer replied : "Sir Things usually do settle by stan ding; I regret to-say that my account is an exception. If it has been standing too Ion?, suppose you let it run a little while." Hello ! I say, what did you say your medicine would cure? "Oh, it will cure everything and heal everything." "Well, I'll take a bottle; maybe it'll heal my boots they need it. Alawyeri on bis passage from Europe, observed a shark, ami asked a sailor what it was, who replied, "Here we call them sea lawyers !" are the examples tf Paul, who all Chris-, tians wculd do well to imitate. He also, says to the Ephesians, III. 14, "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father cf Lord Jesu3 Christ." I have other proofs I could produce bu I think it unnecessary. I 'say again, if Ministers have any good reasons why they will persist in standing up to pray, I will be glad to hear them.- I think their reasons will be about like one I heard, given by a' minister once when spoken to on the subject he saiduit was net always convenient, sometimes preachers had otw white breeches, and the floors were too' dirty to kneel on." Now, it does seem to me, that if cur Savior could fall on his face in the Gar den, while the apostles and others could kneel on the ground ; that preachers and others, now-a-days, should not be too nice to kneel on Church floors. I nm cer--taia if I was a professor of Christianity, I should never approach my Creator in prayer without bending my knees before him. If .1 wanted to instruct men I would stand up. If I wished to ask forgiveness -of my past sins and return thanks for past blessings before Gcd in prayer, I . should always kneel down. TIic Pigeon Easiness. We give a table exhibiting the trco quantity of pigeons shipped from thii city, according toahe bills on file in the express office. There are 8 shippers, and the dates are from March 2S, to July 11. ' The number of pounds in the aggregate is 105.S-35, or CSS barreb of pigeons, upon which the freight amounted to S3, 588 97. M. H. Lstten alone shipped 2SS barrels. Latten & Co., also shipped from this city 1,200 dozen frogs. . This company consumed 12 tuns of ice, and paid out 2,500 in this city and vicinity. Computing the number cf pigeons at 400 per barrel the average of Lnttan Si co's shipments we have the astonishing quan tity of 235,200. At ten cents each thesa represent a Talue of 823,520 ! Of ccursa the great quantity consumed in cur heme market is not included in the above esti mate. Add to this the quantities shipped aud consumed in our home market, is not included in the above estimate. Add to this the quantities shipped and consumed at Grand Huveu, Iona, and other neigh boring places, and the total aggregate could hardly fall short cf between one and two millions!
