MELANCHOLY INSTANCE OF SUDDEN
DEATH.—On Monday, Mr. l'ayne held an inquest at the
Crown, Blackfriar's-road, on the body of Mrs. H. E. Cheshire,
aged 25. From the evidence of deceased's husband and other
witnesses, it appeared that for a long time she had been sub-
ject to spasmodic pains in the stomach. A sojourn at Mar-
gate last summer relieved her, but in October last, in conse-
quence of ill-success in trade on the part of her husband.
her old malady returned in an aggravated form. On Thurs-
day last she was out in the Parks, to see the Royal proces-
sion proceed to Parliament, and next morning, after break-
fast, she complained of headache. While so complaining, a
young daughter of hers fell into the coal-cellar, and the
child's screams at first frightened deceased. Her counte-
nance changed its hue, and shortly afterwards she said she
was in great agony, and that the pains she felt were similst
to those produced by parturition. She was not, however,
in a state of pregnancy. Fomentations, mustard-plasters,
leeches, and medicine prescribed by a surgeon, were not suc-
cessful, and she died shortly after four o'clock, P. M., on Friday.
Mr. Hussey, a surgeon, who was called in, considered her case
a dangerous one from the first, and believed that her complaint
was disetve of the liver, and probably death was the result of
the bursting of an abscess in that organ, caused by alarm at
her child's screams. Verdict—" Natural death."

AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.--
Letters have just been received by Mr. West, the Secretary of the
Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society, giving
information upon a most melancholy loss of life at Clifden in Gal.
way, and of a great destruction of property of a large body of fisher.
men at Dingle, in Kerry, both occasioned by the tremendous storm
of the 26th ultimo. The following extracts have been handed to
us by the gentleman to whom the communications were addressed :
"The enclosed account of five persons lost on the 26th ult. reached
me this day; the widows are all poor, one of them is really destitute.
About two. and-twenty individuals were lost (all fishermen) on the
morning referred to, much the greater part of whom have left fa.
milies. All the accounts that reach me I shall forward without
delay. On Tuesday week we were visited by the most awful
storm that was ever remembered in this country, and almost all '
the fishing boats were driven from their moorings and damaged,
and seven were entirely lost; in every boat there were eight men, who
have a share in the fishing, and so many families are consequently
left quite destitute by the loss of their boat, as they would not be
able to replace them. One poor man lying ill with the measles, and °Lie
child just dead! when the roof was blown off his wretched cabin,
and his boat lost; they are now without food, fire, or means
of procuring it, and in a roofless house. Another poor
man has lost two boats before in the last three years, and
had (by joining seven others) procured one this winter, when that
also was wrecked, and he ii now, with his companions and their

situation of this place, and there being 6,000 inhabitants in the

to.interest yourself in their favour.

LONDON!
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1842,

The meeting of the Anti-Corn-law Conference yester-
day was extremely gratifying. When so many earnest
and resolute men demand the total repeal of the Corn-
laws on principles of justice, and declare that they will
be contented with nothing less, we cannot resist the con-
clusion that they must attain their object. Though poli-
ticians may sneer at them, their language goes direct to
the heart, and kindles in their favour all the best feel-
ings of human nature. They must triumph, and will
teach statesmen that their craft, powerful though it be
on ordinary occasions, is feeble and powerless when op-
posed to the voice of truth demanding justice.
For a clear exposition of the manner in which the
Corn-laws violate the right of property, and come,.
therefore, like any other species of theft, within the
domain of morals, we refer to. the excellent speech of
Mr. BRIGHT, of Rochdale. But we cannot enter into
discussion ; we can only earnestly recommend the whole
proceedings to the serious consideration of statesmen of
all parties.

It is some time since we expressed our surprise at the
appointment of Sir THOMAS COCHRANE, and ventured to
surmise that such appointment was given to him as a re-
ward for the plucking he received at Ipswich. We have
now been informed on good authority that a Speaker's war-
rant has been taken out to compel his appearance before
the Ipswich Committee, and produce the correspondence
with the Tory party relating to the sum of money he
was required to post before he could be permitted to be-
come a candidate for the second time.

In 1835 the Tories at Ipswich endeavoured to avoid
the exposure of their bribery and corruption by sending
witnesses out of the country. This they found not
only useless, but very expensive. The Continent of
Europe was not a sufficient distance. China may suc-
ceed better ; and their pockets will be saved at the ex-
pense of the country.

- Sir THOS. COCHRANE has himself published a portion
of the correspondence ; it cannot therefore be alleged
that it does not exist. Will Sir R. PEEL, who affected
such indignation at the practices of bribery, of corruption,
be a party, however indirectly, to prevent its exposure? Sir
THOS. COCHRANE was required to put down a certain
sum. lie offered 1,0001. This was declined, as being
inadequate. Mr. HARRIS was applied to. lie acqui-
esced, it is to be presumed, in the terms required. Is it
not of the utmost importance to know what those terms
were ?

By the arrival of the Lisbon Mail of the 31st of
January we learn that another attempt has been made
to substitute the Charter for the Constitution at Oporto'
the failure of which has been followed by a change of
the Cabinet. On the 27th ult. a telegraphic despatch
from Oporto, informed the authorities of Lisbon
that the municipality of that town, with CosTA
CABRAL at its head, and with the entire appro-
bation of the garrison, had proclaimed the Charter
and appointed a Provisional Government, of which the
aforesaid CosTA CABRAL was President. The Ministers
were dreadfully alarmed, or affected to be, and went in a
body to the Queen. No heroine of romance could have
heard the news with greater indifference than her Most
Faithful MAJESTY. Deprecating all exaggeration on the
subject, she intimated that a Ministerial remonstrance
would bring the disaffected to a proper sense of their
duty. Whether the Ministers were aware that the QUEEN
and the Court were at the bottom of the Chartist move—
ment we cannot tell—most probably they did—
but certain it is that they became terrified at the anti-
Chartist outcry, raised in every quarter of the capital. '
They, therefore, told the QUEEN that they must either
resign and leave her to the chapter of accidents, or her
MAJESTY must sign a proclamation, denouncing as re-
