The AMERIcAN LADIES IN REPLY TO THE Eng
LIsH LADIEs.-A number of American ladies at
Milan have forwarded the following report of a
meeting held by them to Joseph Hume, ESQ. mem
Der of Parliament, for PRONUNCIATION in the public
journals: 4F--aE-. ass ..
AT meeting of American ladies, of Anglo
Saxon origin, held at Milan, Lombardy, on the
5Oth day of December, 1852, Mrs. Catherine How
ard in the chair, the following report was read and
unanimously adopted:
i. The meeting views with feelings of interest
the late dolngs OF an assembly of ladies in London
under the auspices of her grace the Duchess OF
Sutherland and her noble coadiutors. on the sub
ject of African slavery in the United States.
z The meeting is deeply sensible of the evils of
slavery and will all Just and honorable rea ms
to amellorate, and finally to abolish it, wherever
and under whatever form it may now exist, But
unfortunately for the efforts of American ladies'
and for humanity, the subject of slavery in the
United States, when honestly examined, is found
just at this time, to be surrounded with such APP
paihng dangers, involving the happiness of their
social circles-the fortunes and the lives of their
fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers-the very
existence OF the Federal Constitution and the union
Of tne states-that 1t must not surprise the noble
ladies OF England that American ladies should
recoll with afr light from the mischief which any
nasty zeal might occasion, or that they should
deem 1t their present duty to remain submissive
In the position allotted to them by the Almighty,
until time and occasion shall render their agency
useful. eO''
j.: The meeting respectfully tenders its thanks
10 the noble and honorable ladies' assembled at
StaIord-house for their appreciation of the value
of liberty and the rights Of man; and, under the
present circumstances of African slavery in the
United States. would earnestly entreat them to
look at home, and examine the condition of Chris.
tan freedom in the United Kingdom, and then
employ their leisure and use their amiable and
powerful influence where it can be successfully
exercised-in gently removing those antiquated
monopohes and tlme-worn restrictions which now
30 heavily press upon and impoverish their people;
IN correcting the errors and simony of their ex-
elusive church-in relieving the lands from the
burdens of a complex hierarchy-in individually
adopting the liberal principles of the Christian
liturgy OF the church of America; and by such ef
forts, while they may gain for themselves WELL
earned reputation and undying historic fame,
they will be the means of extending the area OF
freedom and insuring to all men equal rights and
liberty of ponscienee.
All which 10 respectfully submitted.

We lay before our readers. this week.
the first annual message OF President
Pierce. The transcendence of his inau-
gural address last spring, led us to believe
that the message would be of the same
character, but in this we have been
somewhat disappointed: not that the mes
sage is not an ably and stauesman-like
document, for it is all this; clear, sue
cinct and practical. though not superior,
probably. to Governor Johnson's mes
sage. Its sentiments on the subject of
agitation between the North and South
are sufficient and sound. Notwithstanding
the objection made to it on this grou nd 4,
in some quarters. He recommends a
modification of the Tariff, with reduction
of duty on some articles, so as to bring
the receipts down to the expenses of the
government. economically administered
the public revenue having been upwards OF
thirIy-two millions of dollars more than
the expenses, during the last fiscal year.
He recommends an increase in the army
and navy. and proposes an amendment in
the United States Courts. To the Pacific
Railroad he is evidently friendly, so far
as incidental aid can be given without
violating any of the principles of the De-
mocratic party, or exceeding the powers
conferred on the General Government by
the Constitution. In regard to foreign
affairs, he says many subjects of vari-
ance between this and other governments
have been. and others are now in the
course of being adjusted, while some 9th
ers are still unsettled but expresses the
belief that nothing is likely 20 grow out
of them to disturb our friendly relations
Nothing is said about the acquisition o.
Cuba or the Sandwich Islands. Taken
altogether, the message is very credi-
table document, though mos. too diplo.
matte to suit our ideas OF what should be
the open, independent. unreserved tone
OF American statesmen.

a note from p. T. Barnum and II. T.
Beach, stating that they were about tc
start new illustrated paper in New
York, OF which they would send us q
copy as soon as published, and requested
US to inform our subscribers to that
effect. This we did out of mere cour-
tesey, as we do for all new publications,
of which we know. We have not vet
received one, but We have seen it, and
must say that it comes far short of the
reasonable expectations which we were
led to indulge, from the fact that
Barnum is known to be a thorough
business man and generally succeeds in
his undertakings. The Typography is
decidedly inferior, and though the cuts
will do very well, yet the looks of the
other parts entirely destroys their cf-
feet.

manner in which they will be optained, ,
will, of course, be determined at the

to give our views and wishes upon the
subject, but We leave it to the good
