A letter from Calcutta, dated Nov. 52, states, that the ravages of the cholera morbus nt Bussorah have lately been most dreadful. Of the principal mer chants of that place, not one remains alive, all hav ing fallen victims to the prevailing scourge. The victims of the disorder are said to amount on an average to 1.50 per day. By recent advices from the Persian Gulf, we learn that in the province of Omman it carried off 40,000 people, and in the city of Muscat and its neighbouring villages, no leis than 10,000 persona had fallen victims to it in the short space of ten days. A few days since an order was received from St. Petoraburgh fur 400,000 muskets for the Russian army, which aro now manufActuring in various parts of PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. COUNTY OF NONFOLK MEETING. In consequence of a ruppisition moat numeronsly and respectably signed, havina been 'presented to the High Sheri II of the comity Of Norfolk, Sir Richard Joddrell, Bart. calling on him to convene a meeting for the {im pute of " taking into consideration toe propriety of pre. seining .1 petition to Parliament for a reform iu the re. pr e sentation of the people," the High Sheriff appointed Saturday last for the meeting, which took place in the Shire-hall, Norwich. At It) minutes alter 12, the High Sheriff' entered the hall--and having procured silence, said, it seemed to be the wish of the individuals present to adjouni to the yes.) After some farther consultation, it was deemed proper to comply with the wish so loudly expressed. Mr.Coxa came forward amidst touch clamour. He said, if they would have the kindness to be quiet for two 111111U1e9, he would ask no more. The High Sheriff was so Obllglllg so say that he would adjourn the Court for half an hum, until preparations could be made for meet. iul On the Castle hill.—(Applause.) The assembly then adjourned to Castle-hill, and, two waggons hating been procured for the convenience of the orators, the business commenced at half past one o'clock. _ . The Hiatt Sagely, stated the object of the meeting, A requisition, lie observed, having been addressed to him try such a numerous body of freeholders, anion whom were the names cf those so pre-eminent for tarok, nubility, and talent—the names also of those not less pre.eniment for respectability of character in private life, and trio illy (looted to the best principles of the Coirsti. to tints, to take into consideration the propriety of pen. oolong Parliament for a reform in the representation of the people, he bad felt it a duty incumbent on him, and indeed had with much pleasure collie Iron town ex. pressly for that olject, to comply with the wishes of the reqursitiottists, by convening a meeting of the county, upon a subject of such great improtance.—Applause.) G. NV YMER, Earl. the sub-sheriff, thou read the re. qulsition and answer. The. High.sheriff having stated the object of the meet. tug, he then read a letter front Lord Suffield, apologis ing fur his unavoidable absence. Sir'('. lizhvoa then came lOrward. He said, though in other respects, he felt his inferiority when compared with the talent by which lie was surrounded, lie would yield to no mart in his uttachtnent to the cause of re. ,trot —(Applause.) It was a cause with which all their clearest isite.ests were identified. lie considered that it was the right, of every mall to have a voice in the framing of Mote laws which he was bound to obey, and to the operation of which both his person and property were stiljected. Did they want authority lor this; If they did, it could be easily quoted. Blackstone said— " 1 ii every free government, eve'' , mail, who is a free agent, has a tight to a voice in the formation of those laws which arc to bind them ; and thereinto a branch of the Government resides in the whole body of the lieu. ppl Now one would think this was plain enough.— 'oaring was here said of a branch of the Government vested in the borough-niongers...tiothing was said of a branch of the Government being placed in the hand; of a wealthy aristocracy, of which they had heard so much; but it was clearly admitted that a branch of the Government resided in the whole body of the people...-. (A i rplause.) But as the population of the country was so great, the exercise of 'lris right was impracticable and therefore recourse was had to the representatne sys. tent. NVas it not, then, a fair deduction, that those who were supposed to be elected by the whole body of the people. ought to represent them t (Yes, yes.) But did tile House of Commons represent the whole body of people 3 (No, no.) He begged their pardon, virtually the lieuse of Luminous did. (A laugh.) lint that vir. trial representation was a mere mockery. One of tier objections urged against the advocates of reform was, that radical reborn amounted to a revolution. this was alweys ia the mullahs of men who, when it served their put'• I oses, were constantly recurring to the Revolution of 16813. lie adorned the revolution of 1688; but though at that huh: much had been dune, much, it must be con. tessed, had been left undone ; and to the neglect of that period may he traced the seeds of those which now op. pressed the country. The lion Bart. concluded by readina the follow iiig resolutions:— " I.
