last night passed the Necessary resolutions directing
tue conveyance Of plot of ground for the location
of the New-York State Womins Hospital. This
measure was brought up add strongly urged by
Councilman Ottarson in 1857, and came very near
being successful. II was subsequently passed, but
vetoed by Mayor TieInann Now it has to 60
back to the Board of Aldermen on some un'm-
portant amendment which we presume Will DE at
once concurred in: and we understand that Mayor
Tiemaun is satisfied and viii ailix his Signature to
il without delay. The Woman's Hospital is one OF
the few Institutions which are deserving of the
warmest sympathy and encouragement of the gov
eminent and the people; and we are glad TO find
that after long and persistent effort it is likely to
receive 2, rmancnt and ample place for building.

colored people of the Southern States which for MS
so striking feature in that new Development of
civilization in progress in those States, and Of
which the institution Of slavery is made tine basis

The first Of these bills provides that if any free
person of color shall immigrats into the State

Should be he unable to give this bond, he shsll be

Sheriff to expose him to public sale to the highest
bidder at the courthouse door of his county alter

We insist that noindrduai who requires to be aided
TO reach Yoruba will be found Of much value to the
enterprise after his arrivalthat the qualities, or
Deficiencies, which have prevented his acquiring

decided value there. This is our opinion-to be

Our correspondent says Emigration TO Kansas

means Of through transportation at low rate
not otherwise. Very few persons passage was

confident thai no one aided to reach Kansas ever

Now that the City Inspector is going out Of
Office (thoueh it is said that he expects to be reap
pointed), there is more talk about contracting for
cleaning the streets. Nearly all the work for three
years bas been kept under the thumb Of George
W. Morton, every attempt to carry out the pro-
Visions Of the Charter having failed by reason Of
the active opposition OF HE friends. More than
bali the money paid In all this time for street
cleaning has been d.bursed legally and the people
have good claim against the Mayor snd Controller
for lis return. Mr. BUsteed is now the scapeeoat;
bu. The truth is, the City Inspectors Department
never intended to contract as long as the matter
could be crowded of.
