To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Last Thursday evening sort OF private meeting
none being admitted without tcket-was held at the
Academy OF Music, called by number Of highly re-
spectacle but too jealous gentlemen to endorse
the great outrage OF the nineteenth cenury-an out
rage on justice, the law OF nations solemn treaties
and the well being OF society. Outside Of this II
strange tnat so much talk FUSS and congratu-
aton should be called forth merely from the fact OF
Italy acquiring, for time few more acres OF ter
rltory. What overwhelming benefit can she derive
from this that the spouters Of freedom should be
jubnants Rome was not an aggressive Power or
one that could interfere with The civil rights of
Italy any other nation; but It the centre Of
