TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-The electors of England have done their duty by their country with the most noble patriotism ; the .lectionts are neirly, if not entirely concluded, and the question of Reform may be considered as virtually carried. 4 0 far as the representatives of the people are concerned. We have no apprehension, therefore, for the safety of the great measure, because it has already received the sanction of the majority of Englishmen. It ❑ow remains to be seen, whether the hereditary Counsellors of the Crown are willing to support their Patriot Sovereign and his admir ing and affectionate subjects, in their enlightened views of the unavoidable necessity of instantly adapting the intern al policy of the country to imperative circumstances. Lists of Reforming Candidates have been published in the Jour nals, and with the greatest advantage to the public wel fare. Lists of Anti-Reforming - Aristocrats should be im mediately circulated, in order that the people may be in formed who are those Lords who still continue blind to the signs of the times, and obstinately persevere in resisting the progress of national improvement, and upon whose heads alone must fall the consequences of political bigotry and interested prejudices. Some of the Nobles of England have still, it would appear, a lesson to learn, as well as the continental Sovereigns. The will of the people has been uttered in a voice of thunder, and the haughty Lords of the land cannot mistake its meaning. Their own, as well as their country's fate, depends at this crisis upon their disin terested attachment to the free institu•ions of the soil of their nativity, and on their unflinching union with the people in the righteous cause of removing every abuse from the machinery of the State. Self-interest must no longer continue to he the sole momentum operating upon all their thoughts and actions. As they are a titled " caste," let them take the lead of the enlightened classes of their countrymen, in promoting national improvement; let there be no arrogant h atred of tke inferior orders,—no holding aloof from the people, as though they (the Nobles) were of a superior order of or spiritual beings. The cha t start istic of the present age; and, remarkably so among the great in wisdom, is simplicity and singleness of pur pose. We would urge the Nobility to the instant cultiva tion of these popular virtues; and to sacrifice all their in terested views, their pride, and their "primatial" preju dices on the common altar of their country's good, rectal- lecting that the very essence of Nobility of mind " sola est et unica virtus." Will such men, as the Dukes of New castle and Northumberland, the Marquises o! Aylesbury and Londonderry, the Lords Farnborough, Arden, Mount Edge cunribe, Valletort, and others, with the E al of Brownlow, (all of Anti-Reforming notoriety) one of whom was heard in October last, to declare, that he would vote, even alone, against any measure of Reform proposed by the Duke of Wellington,—will they now learn a useful lesson from the feeling which is abroad, at length adopt liberal opinions, and in this difficult crisis ahandon selfish principles and prejudices, and stand by their King and his people?— Will such men as these, he persuaded at length, by the force of public opinion, to give their voices in support of the Constitutional measure about to be proposed by Ministers in Parliament ? We implore them to do so, as they value the safety of their own dignities, and the security of our common institutions. Are " testamentary Marquisates," with large contingent possessions, to be confirmed by the Sovereign in favour of those whose whole soul is set against the political views of their King and his Ministers, and who have nothing at heart, while cringing and creeping into Court favour, but the aggrandisement of their own families ? And now for the scions of " the caste." We should he glad to be disabused, with respect to reports in circul Aim], that a young Marquis (a mere student of the University) headed a large party of Under-graduates in carriages, and with an in midatory air interfered for a certain Lord at the recent election of representatives for a borough. Where was the discipline of his College? Two young Viscounts (Under -graduates) are also represented as having led on a gentlemanly mob during a late county election to an attack upon the Reform freemen of the county (or citizens), and to have been severely handled. Where was the dis cipline of their College ? The people called out, it is said, "We will have blood for blood !" If these state ments are true, which we sincerely hope they are not, we must, in all sober seriousness, tell these young, unreflecting Aristocrats that they may with impunity:confine their deeds of Mood to their own class ; but that, if they dare to raise the hand of violence against the people unprovoked, they will themselves become the first victims of their own sanguinary rashness. The time is now arrived when our vung nobility must be brought up in principles consonant with the liberal and enlightened views of tire age, or " the titled caste" will disappear ! VERAX. 'WORCESTERSHIRE ELECTION_ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sit,—During the elections it was highly proper and necessary fur every individual who saw in the Reform Bill a great and salutary measure to defend all its minutest details ; fur any admissions of imperfection, although far from affecting its principles, were, with the utmost reck lessness of truth, pricer ted—when private men made any such admissions, the whole Bill was with them unpopular; when public men did so, the Bill was to be radically changed ; such were the songs of the poor Post and Co., utterly failing to sow dissentions among the people, or distrust of his Majesty's Ministers. Now, however, the friends of real Reform may discuss more fully the different clauses in the Bill, I wish to draw your attention, to two points. What will be the effect of the following ? " That no person will be entitled to vote at the election of a knight of the shire in respect of any house, by reason of the occupation thereof he or any other pet son will be entitled to vote for any city or borough." Will nut this disfranchise a vast number of most respectable voters—of voters having a deep stake in the country ? If a man lets a freehold tenement for upwards of 101. per annum in a borough or city to a male, he will have no vote for the county ; but if he is so fortunate as to let the property to a female, or a minor, or if the property should not be worth 101. per aanuni, he will have a vote for the county. Do I construe the clause rightly ? But besides this absurdity, it contradicts another part of the Bill—it ought to be ex punged altogether, or at any rate the words " or any other person" omitted. Another part of the Bill requires to be weighed well— the division of counties. 1 know not how this may be viewed, or how it may operate throughout the country in general ; but this I know, that it is very unpopular here, and if 'Worcestershire is divided, its independence is gone for ever. The atttention of the country gentlemen of in dependent, but moderate fortune, was very forcibly drawn to the fact at the dinner given to the Members, Fairy and Spencer ; and it is trusted that at the approaching Quarter Sessions it will be subject matter of discussion with the Magistrates. Let us see how the polling went during the contest according to the proposed division— First Division. Lygon Pershore Hundred . 435 Oswaldston do. - - 334 Doddintree do. - - 160 Spencer. :153 :17!) '202 Here is a large majority against Capt. Spencer, although he was returned by a majority on the gross poll of 430! How is this to be accounted for—not surely that there is such discrepancy of opinion in different parts of the same county, but that the above hundreds, especially the first, are in abject bondage, and when the county is divided it will be one of the nomination retut ns deceiving by the appearance of freedom. Look at the contrast in the voting in the other hundreds, and say if the one-half of the county is not needed to balance the other. Second Division. Spencer, Lygon. Blakenhurst Hundred . 152 39 Upper Halfshire do. - . 318 160 • Lower Halfshire do. . _ 461 167 The bare display of figures will supply all lack of argu ment for resisting the division of Worcestershire—for pre serving the county en'ire, that is to say, for the whole to have a voice in the election of the four Members, allowing the votes to be taken at different places. Unless this is done none of our independent country gentlemen, with fortunes limited to a few thousands per annum, will ever have any chance of sitting in St. Stephens' as the representative of their native county. York, Leicester, Lancaster, Glou cester, and oth e r immense counties, may suffer division without harm, but the smaller counti s cannot. Our Ministers, luckily, are men anxious to conmlt the feelings of the public and county meetings upon this subject. Let the freeholders ponder upon this. UTILITARIAN. Y.S. The figures at the close of the poll, Foley, 2,044; Spencer, 1,70 ; Lydon, 1,335 ; give a very inadequate idea of the completeness of the rout or the boroughmongers in this county. From an unlimited command of money, and such a host of paid agents, Colonel Lygon was enabled tP bring up quickly all his voters, and to give no symptom of weakness until his last man was polled off; he could not have added one hundred to his number, while Oleic were upwards of one thousand five hundred ready to poll for Foley and Spencer. The Gallant Colonel, it is now known, was grossly deceived, as to the c mvass retuins, by his attornies; and' was pushed on against his own judg ment by the parsons, and a few other individuals worthy to be ordained. There has been a mock kind of meeting to express admiration of the Colonel's services in Parlia ment, and to present him with a piece of plate. Sub tract th e attornies, w h o are generously di sgorg i ng a gu i nea of their enormous plunder ; and the parsons, who, with equal generosity, volunteer another in behalf of tytbes. What a falling off is there !" RYE, MAY O. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT A meeting of the Independent Association of this town 'ook place at the Red Lion Inn, on Friday, the 27th inst. This little band of patriots, the nucleus of Reform in this part of the country, who have by an arduous struggle in the cause for the last six ye trs contributed considerably to the consummation of it, in consequence of its certain success have resolved to dissolve their present constitu tion, and to establish a new une on a basis that will em brace a more extended sphere of usefulness, namely, the general improvement of the condition of the country, as well as securing the return of Members to serve in Par liament of sound political character ; and wewould recom mend it to such as are nt , t in a stive of pecuniary depen dence on any of our public resources, or interested in the continuance Of any public abuses. As the Reform Bill will be of little value or relief, if not speedily followed by a reduction of the national expenditure, we trust the example of the men of Rye will be generally imita , ed, in the formation of similar societies, legitimate and efficient means will then be afforded of directing and assisting our truly popular Government in their work of national rege neration, by a❑ inquiry into the state of the Church pro perty ; the equaliz ttion of tithes ; the pension list fin the rich; that equally f , rtile source of indolence and vice, the poor laws ; the East and West India monopolies ; the Bank of England Company, the charter for which is nearly expired; with vatious other incorporated societies, not forgetting the Universities in their zeal to perpetuate cor ruption, intolerance, and ignorance. The army too, that anomalous and now useless and expensive part of the ma chinery of Government of 90,000 men, and 30,000 officers to command it, must certainly require some modification in the altered state of society, which will not be very gra tifying to the idle expectants who lounge away their time in the great metropolis of industry, intelligence, and wealth. These are among the beneficial results, the first fruits, that will be enjoyed from the hat vest of Reform; then will the prosperity of the British nation render it again the pride and envy of surrounding nations, the bul wark of liberty, and the patron of civilization to the world. Two New York Papers, of the 29th and 30th of AFril, have been received to-day at the Nurth and South American Cuffee-house, from the contents of which it appears that a complete change of Ministry has take❑ place in the United States. The particulars must have appeared in Papers of previous dates, which have not yet come to hand. A letter from Washington, dated the 21th, is given in the New York Gazette, of the 29th, which contains the following remarks on the subject The recent change in, or rather dissolution of, the Cabinet, is still the subject of censure and speculation. A gentleman who wars with the President a day or two since, was informed by him of the causes of the movement which he had made. He stated that when he formed the Cabinet, he prepared a set of rules and regulations, to which he required and received the assent of all the Members. One of these regulations was, that whenever any Member of the Cabinet should be brought before the people, as a candidate for the Presidency, he should leave the Cabinet. One of the Members having been named abroad, as occupying that situation, he had deemed it necessary, in the enforcement of the laws which he had prescribed, that a change should take place. The President found that there was some difficulty in getting a portion of the Cabinet to go out, unless the whole were reformed, and therefore he betook himself to the task of relieving himself of the whole set.'' . It is further stated in the same letter, that nothing was yet known respecting the new Cabinet; but it was ex pected that the arrangements would be completed in a day or two.

Yesterday beirg the day appointed by the New Population Act for " numbering the people," the overseers of the different parishes in and about the me tropolis were early on foot for the purpose, and were long before night heartily " foot weary," and tired with their Idbour. In many cases they found it difficult to obtain any returns at all—the papers, having been left so long ago, were, in many instances, lost, mislaid, or forgotten ; and, in many more, from their apparent complexity, not well understood. In one instance, a letter-out of donkeys described himself as a " capitalist ;" and, in another, a seller of cats'-meat, whose shop consists of a barrow, with more reason, claimed to be set down as " a retail trader." No doubt, many ludicrous scenes occurred ; but, upqn the whole, the result is likely to prove a sickener to the Multhusians. What is the sign thereof it is more than we can pronounce ; but it is a fact that the " business" in all the Courts of Law has of late fallen off, to the practisers of the same, in a very alarming manner. It is the opinion of some that the elections are the cause, but many fear (and these are generally lawyers), that folks are waiting till the commodity shall have become cheaper. There is an adage that " use is second nature." Is there not a reasonable ground for fearing that, before that time arrives, if this latter be. the.true reason, they will find themselves able to do without it altogether ? OCCULTATION OF JUPITER AND HIS SA TELLITES.-On Wednesday this remarkable phenomenon will take pl ice. It is one of the most interesting among the heavenly movements visible on earth for the year.— The bright limb of the moon will come in contact, first with the Ith satellite, then with the 2d ; the immersion of the planet will then occur about eight minutes after one at night; the moon will afterwards proceed to the Ist satellite, and finally the 3d will be obscured. At emersion the 4th will be first visible, then the 211; the planet will next re-appear at fourteen minutes after two, and after wards the Ist, and finally the 3d satellite will emerge from behind the moon's dark limb. During the o ccultation, the Ist and 2.1 satellites will have approached a little nearer to their primary, and the 3d and 4th have receded a little farther off. CONFESSION OF GIBBS, Tim PIRATE.- This extraordinary man, whose execution for murder was fixed for the 23d ult., at New York, appears to have been the most bloody and remorseless pirate of whom we have any record. When under senteisce of death—by way, we presume, of disburdening his conscience of some por tion of the intolerable pressure with which it must have been tormented—be voluntarily made a full confessi on o • his crimes, which is published a t length in the New York ilornin9 Inquirer, of the Bth of April, and occupied two closely-printed long columns of that journal. He was con cerned in the plunder and destruction of upwards of forty vissels ; and, as " dead m en tell no tales," he and his ferocious crew, with on e or two exceptio ns , wan d ere d every soul on board. H e admits that about 400 were thus dispatched. It app ears that Gums was in Liverpool b fo a l li s ly ev t e t r 'e a t l it tln weeks, ie. cut ting a great d as h ; b ut as h e too nder an assumed nam e , h e cou ld no t be identified.

I n hi s ce ll h e seems m ore like an object of pity than vengeance; is affable and communi cative; and when he smiles, ex hibi ts so mild and gentle a c ountenance that no one would take him to be a villain." LITHUANIAN INSURRECTION. WARSA W, -WAY 14. The Message). Po lanais gives the following report, transmitted to the National Government, in the name of the Lithuanian insurgents, by an envoy from Lithuania :-- " The Polish nation, oppressed during half a century, combats at this day for independence and the integrity of her territory. If she drags her oppressors before the tri bunal of humanity, Lithuania may exult more than any other province in having obtained the honours of a martyr. Given up in the first partition, against all political justice, to the Russian Autocrat, the hope of a better prospect has never left her. The kingdom of Poland may justly com plain of the violation of her rights and liberties, for her rights and liberties were guaranteed to her; but the Go vernments incorporated with Russia, so long and so cruelly oppre , sed, have long made complaints still more grave and serious. They lament the total annihilation of all the rights which nature has bestowed on man. —Lithuania principally has been the constant object of the hatred of the Sovereign. It has been made the source of illegal revenues for Russian clerks and placemen, whose prodigality equals their extortion and venality. Lithuania, in which the Government exerts all its efforts to efface every trace of nationality, and which it believes sunk for ever, has given continued proofs of a lively national feel ing by numerous acts of devotion to the mother country. Every year the young Lithuanians, torn from their country, were transferred to the deserts of Russia, and in each succeeding year the State prisons swallowed up the most distinguished men. At the news of the national in surrection of Warsaw, the true love of country, which no force or oppression could extinguish in Lithuanian bosoms, was ready to manif-st itself; but the councils of wisdom and experience suppressed the improper enthusiasm of youth. " The conviction that our country distnembered could net recover its political existence without the united ef forts of its scattered members, led to the pleasing hope that our brothers in arms would hold out their hands to 1 brothers without the means of defence, and that the Poles, answering the great appeal of the metropolis, would work together for the regeneration of their country; but days and weeks rolled en, and the anxiety for the accom plishment of the great object began to lose its fervour. Soon, however, the country was inundated with Russian troops, who spread over it discouragement and despair. Unfortunate Lithuania was compelled to feed the oppres sors, who were marching to exterminate its brethren of the kingdom of Poland. They were forced to uomply, under a painful restraint of their feelings, with the inju rious demands of their tyrants. Marshal Diehitsch, on his arrival at Wilna, convoked the Representatives of the Nobles ; he called upon them, in the language of bitter.- ness and irony, to insult the sacred cause they wished so touch to defend ; he made them take new oaths of fileltyt and at the same time thank the Emperor for the benefit' he had conferred on them. In short, he imposed upon them the obligation of rejoicing because they might expect the prompt punishment of rebels. The Chiefs of Government set out fur Petersburgh with an address filled with the most servile and humiliating expres' sions ; there they were made to sign it in the name of all ' their fellow-citizens, and publish the instrument, qualified by the name of a voluntary declaration. Very soon after the blood of our brothers began to flow in the field of battle' The subjugated provinces heard of the triumphs of the Poles only by the Ukases, the style of which soothed the rage of the Autocrat. The Polish Governments upon which Russia, according to her usurpations, had ancient claims, and which had been incorporated with the empire by the first partition, were robbed of the benefits of Or' Lithuanian code, and the Russian Government considered it a part of ancient Russia. All the Polish Govern' ments, except those of Wilna,' Grodnn, and Bialystoc lo were deprived of their guardianship, which had long heels vested in the University of Wilna, and transferred to that of Charkow. The use of the Polish tongue was inter dieted as well in the schools as in the scientific establish' ments of all the Governments. The magazines which they ordered to be formed in every direction were so nu' merous, that in one Government alone they had sub sistenee for 300,000 men during a whole year ; in s hort , a recruiting of three out of every five hundred s oul! , threatenel these provinces with the exhaustion of a' that they contained, in order that their strength might he turned against the cause of Poland ; but whilst despair in' creased with arbitrary violence, the Manifesto of the Chant' bers, which announced the determination of the Poles to fight as long as they could for their independence and that of their brothers, brought solace to all their misfortune ° and offered consolation. Since that period persecution ° have increased every day, but hope enabled us to bear them , Hope gliding into the hearts of all brave patriots, formed as it were by enchantment, an association which eluded the vigilance of the most insidious. The citizens of Litho' ania felt new courage when the good news reached then' Their Wishes—their thoughts—their sentiments were mutual—and insurrection, which arose from general en' thusiasin in the first instance, began to be organized slowly' but with more prudence and calculation. If one tinfoil' seen circumstance had not occurred to impede the proko ° and Warta of the patriots, it would have broken o ut h i Lithuania rather later than at Warsaw, but it would hav e been simultaneous in the capital as well as the provinces , " Alas ! Nowoseloff arrived at Wilna, and immediate l hl espionage resorted to the most active measures. An officer of the regiment of Ingermanland, nam e d Ku''' rewicz, was quartered at the Medical Institution, where hospital has been established. This officer soon recover e , his health, thanks to the care of the Director Pelikan, h e , instead of returning to service, he hired a fine lodging I.'" the town, lived extravagantly, and renewed his old limey with the young men of the University. It woo 6 be superfluous here to mention all the arts employed MI, such occasions by agents of this description.

Kudrewicz, by aff, ing exalted patriotism, seduced several young improde li men to his purpose, and extorted from them a list o f ce': spirators, bearing their own signatures, and sent it to the', who paid him with gold. Many persons implicated W er f. instantly arrested, and they proceeded to exatninatioro a; the must disgusting character. Upon the i o f e emati e , thus obtained, the recruiting and su p p l y i ng o f inagazin`; was ordered. A few young citizens of Samogitia, givi ti j o way to their patriotic impatienc e , th en reso l ve d t o ra ise t,", standard of insurrection. They assembl e d their domesn c and peasantry, and forming a troop of two hundred cs';''' tiers, attacked the city of Rossienia, the capital of the th' 4 trict of that name, and disarmed the garrison, which , composed of veterans. They drove out the Russian auth o, rities, and made an appeal to the citizens to join them.. The appeal produced the desired effect. A determinat i , o ° so energetic must naturally find support. Towards o f end of March three districts of Samogitia, with those le Telse, Rossienia, and Szawle, threw off the yoke of t oppressors, anti established provisional gov e rnmen r , which became one, and which at this moment should I 'd in the name of the national government of the kingdont , , Poland.
