THE RoossvELr HospTAL.--A proposition
was recently brought before the Corporation
relative to the appropriation Of locality in
Hamilton square for the erection Of the Roose-
welt Hospital, an establishment for the benefit
of poor and wounded soldiers and others, pro-
vided for by act Of Legislature, under the Will
of the late Mr.. James II. Roosevelt, who be-
queathed the muniicent sum Of over million
Of dollars for the praiseworthy purpose. Our
object in recalling the subject to the attention
of the public is to inquire what has become Of
the proposition presented to the Common Ccun-
Gil. Why all this delay in acting upon it! The
longer the delay, the longer will the sufferings
of many Of our wounded soldiers be protracted,
if the poor fellows be not forever deprived Of
the benefits OF the humane Intentions Of the
benevolent founder Of the institution. We call
for official action in this matter at once.
