In accordance with circular, which was publish.
ed in almost all the German newspapers ofthis city,
great meeting of the German population Of New
York was held in Shakspears's Hotel, on Monday
evening, when it was stated hat Messrs Goegg &
Ticker, two delegates from the Agitative Society,
in Londor, who arrived lately in this city, would
address the assembly, upon the aim and end Of
their mission to America About eight o'clock, an
immense number OF Germans had assembled, and
the meeting was opened By the election of
Feldner as chairman, together with several Sec
retares after which, the TWO great champions
in the cause of revolution were introduced to
the assembly. Mr. Goegg was the first speaker.
After rendering his thanks for their kind recep-
ton, be proceeded to give brief outline, without
entering into details Of the condition Of Europe He
referred 20 the chains of slavery, in which the des
pots hsd the masses of Europe bound-to the
traordnary power Of the princes, which principally
consisted in their unanimity and general under
standing-to the manner IN which they have duped
the people by fair promisss-and to the only means
which will free the working classes from the vile
bondage under the pressure Of which they are now
grcaning--the means being the union and combina.
ton Of all their power in opposition to the coai.
ton of despotic princes. He then spoke of the
great task which the great mass of the German
emigration have to accomplish 1t is to assist in
the liberation Of Germany from the power of
kings, first by oral aid, which is sympathy-a
public expression of their sentiments and then by
material aid, by sending money to those who have
to conduct this movement for general freedom.
He came to this country to endeavor to unite the
German population of America in one bond for
the mplishment of this object. He had no de-
sire to mix in the political affairs Of this country,
but will endeavor to observe o neutral ground
Mr. TIcKLER next addressed the meeting, and
commenced ~ casting retrospective glance to
the condition Of Europe previous to the Reforma-
tion. He showed, from the history of the middle
ages, the evil which always resuss from castles to

printing, and of knowledge upon the revolution,
the FIRST victorious manifestation Of which was the
declaration Of the indie pendence Of America. He
said that terrorism overturned the first French re-
public because the people did not then fully COM
prehend its urgency or necessity. He commended
that no people are capable Of enjoying liberty
unless they are well informed well instructed,
and in state Of continual progression. During
remarks were so far fetched considerable mpatience
was manifested among the assembly. Great num-
bers left the room, while others occasionally sang
out, "To the point " To the object of the assem-
bly," which meeting with considerable opposition
in another quarter, caused good deal Of uproar
ard Indignation at the audacity Of these remarks.

result hen they coald convoke congress at
