CoMPLIM y.-Ninety clerks in the Pension
Ohce have addressed letter to James E. He ath,
esq.,, late Commissioner of that Bureau, rendering
to him their acknowledgment of his uniformly
kind and courteous department towards them in
the discharge of his duties, and assuring him that
he will carry with him in his retirement their sin
cere respect and best wishes for the health, happ-
ness, and prosperity of himself and family. Mr..
Heath replies that he is doubly fortunate in having
at the same time conciliated the esteem of those
over whom it has been his lot to be placed in au-
thority, and the confidence also of his official supe-
rior under whose immediate eye his public duties
were performed; and in parting with those clerks,
he says it gives him sincere pleasure to reciprocate
their kind feelings and best wishes.
The "OuT- DOOR PooR.''-A bill relative to this
class of the community has passed both branches OF
the City Councils; but the official report of the pro

only, the Board of Common Council refused to
insist on its amendment, (Which was disagreed to
by the Aldermen,) excluding from the operation
OF the bill such free negroes and mulatoes as have
failed to comply with the law respecting them.
