Among the republics of South America none have stood higher in the good will of the people of this city and of the country ‘than that of Venezuela, apd during her protracted aud eventful struggle for independence, when her lineraung army was led by the distinguished and able chieftain whom you have invited ip the name of your Na- tonal Convention to return to his native country, our people watched with anxious solicitude the res of those efforts made by her for freedom, and rejoived uitingly when her arms had succeeded in freeing her f the oppressive tyranny which had so long weighed ber down. But not alone the people of New York; the heart of our nation beat in trae sympathy with your struggle, and the ablest and most patriotic of our statesmen in both halis of our national Cougress lent their eloquence in de- feuce and eapportof the great contest which Venezuela and Colombia, wuder their brave and devoted commanders, Rolivar and Paex, were then making to place themselves side by side among the free ations of the workl.

The friends of the exiled ex-Presi- dent are now in power, and, seconded by the yoive of fhe people, they annulled the decree which banished him from hie country, and invite bim to return once more among his people. The gentiemen who were appointed as Commissioners to e@anvey to him the wishes of hie countrymen are Signor P. J. Rojas; General Austria, Signor Mujica, Dr. Manuel Paez, the sen of Gen. Pacz, and Marquis T. B. Mijares. ‘Fheso gentlemen had resolved before their departure fem New York to testify their high appreciation of the Bindness and hospitality which Gen, Paez received from the Corporation and people of our city, aud the banguct which they gave let evening wae every way worthy of Be occasion. Those Commissioners are distinguisied eons of Venezuc- ie. Mr. P. J, Rojas, the chairman, i# a native of Cumana, a city widely known in Sonth America as the birthplace of @enorale Sucre, Bermudez, Marino, and many other chiefs ot the war of mdependence. Mr. Rojas was the Speaker of the House of Representatives in 1843, and was again a member of that House in 1848. When Gen. J. T. Monagas erdered the massacre of the Congress in Coracga, Rojas, kad the honor of being one of the four gentlemen whore heads were asked for by that man as a gift to paeify his bitter furore against the leaders of the opposi fon party, and os a condition to recall the assassins acl img by his orders, Mr. Rojas escaped from Laguayra, @isguised in the uniform of a Spanish officer, who took Bim on board a Spanish man-of-way then in that port.

Mr. Rojas was also ne of the privcipal promoters of the Benjamin Franklin expedition. That steamer sailed, with the ship Catharine Angusta, to carry arms and ammunition, and, ifwe are not mistaken, to convey General Paez and his friends to Venezuela, where Genoral Garces had proclaimed the downfall of the ; but the unfortunate General was. over your beautiful land, and drove from it some of the best and most patriotic of her sons—among them the bonored and eminent commander and statesman whose sword bai cleared for you the path of liberty, and whese talents had guided he » the ranks oF nations, came to cour shores an exile from his country, but not 4 stranger ne. His deeds and his sufferings in the canse of Veno- wielan independence and South American Liberty were alike well know «tthe people of our city tendered to him a welcome as sincere as it was just. While oar coun- wy hae ever been ready to receive and welcome with open aring the political exile and the devotee of liberty, especiaily bas New York been true to those traits of horpitality whieh her position as the conmer- cial metropolis of free America demanded of her ‘The sails of her commerce whitening every sca, her trade extonding w every people, she bas and still diftases to the nations gi the world the knowledge of the free insti- tuitions of Our country, as well as proclaims to their people Paez, and the second time alone, endeavori a*g i fit up another expedition; but, un! higearnest | a harbor uf refuge to the distressed and the exiled of pafheitatio, us failed the emptiness of the Mexican | every land.

The same cause, with the war of Russia, also tended Jargely to diminish exports to ali foreign countries, The panic of 1867 seriously interfered with the distribu tion of the crop of 1867-58; it algo, by stopping American spindles, redueed the domestic consumption w 624,000 bales, against 687,000 bales the previons year—equal to @ reduction of 163,000 bales, The exporte were also dinun- ished to France 29,000, and to the north of Europe 31,000 Dales. Tn our estimate of the crop of 1868-50, or that now coming (0 market, at 3,400,000 bales, we assign ite distribution as follows:—-We give to England tho seme amount she took last year; to France we give an inerease of $5,000 bales; to the north of Europe, which includes Russian ports, 25,000; and to other fo- reign porte the rame as lact year; and for American stock and consumption an increase of 196,000 bales. Tast year Ameriewn spindles were idle; they are now fully employed, and hence we give for American con- sumption an amount which is not greatly in excess from that of the supply taken from the crops of 1858-56 and 1856.57. From these data it will be seen that, should the present crop reach the large estimate of 8,400,000 bales, it will all be wanted. This impression i strengthened by the prevalence of peace, the abundance of money and the improved con- dition of the people as consumers. Should the crop be limited to 3,300,000 bales it will scarcely suffice lo meet the wants of the trade. If our figures be correct, the aggregate croye for three years will amount to 9,354,000 bales, distributed as fod low em Great Britain.. The estimate of the crop for 1886-57, a8 we publiehed im our summary the other day, was calculated at an ave- Tage of 1334 cents per pound, while in the above tate we have averaged it at 12 cents per pound, which will tnd to account for the apparent discrepancy in the footings: Court of General Sessions, IMPORTANT PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JUKY OVFICLALS INDICTED, ETC. 001, %8.—The Grand Jury came into court at one o'viowk ow ment to theCourt, and instructed the Secreary w read ihe tollowing important ducunent — The Grand Jury, in the discharge of the varieue duties assigned it, has taken into conmderation the charge of his Honor the Recorder Tt has not examined into the efficiency of the present po hee system: but the District Attorwey was lo Trrnish each evidence as might exist Of the sale of offoe, bribery or corruption, or of any individual dereiedon of dvty; bot bef em toxtimon, bos voce greenies. ‘Buch of the police as have been nre us have generally soneka favorable 5 aoae Grinking, daneing and singing the nnmerous " ™ saloons, scat” tered broadcast over the city, is a aul ‘of constant sore plaint, and calls for prompt and ent action on part Of the anthorities law bave bent woperted police, w have by the “nie tnd _ fateny : Ny z onan of ry emt 1 Wt leant 0 far as is to prev terference with the ponce of these who pre! the A Ay higher and loftier 4 In examination of the frauds counected with the several departinents of the city government, facts have heen elicited show ing What mur in order that the perpetrators may be brought to juation, In « few canes true bilis have been found for (rads apom the treasury, but the Grand Jury regrets Uhet the statute of limitation: ip many cases intervened to nhield others from the hands of just It further becomes the duty of the Grand Jury to eatl at- tention t the careless aot inefficient conduct of atfare im the office of the Comptroller.
