Your remark in yesterdays paper, that my pro-,
become matter Of speculation, is incorrect so far as
am concerned. | resigned the clerkship held in
the Custom House, by letter addressed to the Col
lector on the 3D. ult, and left the Both. Mr.. Van
Ness sent for me, expressed himself satisfied with
my conduct, and advised me to retain my place. At
my resignation of the office of Actuary Of the Me-
chanics Institute, the unanimous vote of the socie-
ty showed that had gwen satisfaction to its mem
bers was the oldest clerk in the Record office,
understood my duties, and had Idesired to continue,
which not the case, why is it supposed that Mr..
genlous friend O'Sulvan, who, in his Morning
Nems found perpetual fault with almost everybody
and everything in or about the Custom House, ex-
cept Ex-Alderman Purdy, had enough good-natuiL,es
ard good taste left to permit me 10 sleep quEeuy
among the archives up in the Sd story, where Oorc
nelius the I'd" would certainly never have oIeant OF
