said he would make a few observations on the trade be-

timately connected: It was his intention to have handed

them, he found the evidence on all bands so abundant
and conclusive, that he shrank from the task of makine.

a selection: He had, however, during the meeting,
handed to the Chairman some account of the ,-manufac-
tures of the United States, and also a list of articles
now made there, or imported from the continent. of
Europe, which,' previous to the passing of the Corr
aws, were obtained almost entirely from England.—
(Hear, hear.) This list comprised carpenters and joiners
tools generally, in which three-fourths of the trade was
lost ; agricultural implements, of which seven-eighths
were lost; buttons, of which about one-half were lost;
brushes of all kinds, of which the whole of the trade
was lost ,• the same with respect to combs, and lead in
various shapes ; and nearly le whole of our export of
glass. Mr. Goddard also enumerat,ed the trade in iron,
leather, nails, and other articles, the wltole of the ex-
ports in which were altogether lost, or n.early so. He
added that, notwithstanding the prodigious increase oe
manufactures in America, that market had contiPued to
take a larger amount of goods from Great Britain tt.::4,11-
ally than the amount of produce taken in return, tlin..l
clearly evincing a disposition to take goods to the full
~..Ttent of the means of payment, and not to require gold.
He tiiiight it only fair to suppose that the trade would
greatly into; ease were flour and provisions generally al-
lowed to be se,;,,t to this country. In this case there would
be a much greater ,Fade under more certain payments.
.--(Hear.) When the Corn-laws were passed the argu-
ment was, " Oh, the Amel2cans can never manufacture
for themselves ; our industry,
,:kill, and machinery, will
,prevent that." But now it was saki .4-1'

been done, it was not too late to prevent mb.ll in pros-
pect.—(Hear.) They had heard a good deal G.!' specu-
lation about new markets, and especially respecting; the
China markets. But, although he was of opinion ttot
the more markets they had the better, he thought it
highly probable that a larger amount of manufactures
was consumed in America by seventeen millions of
Anglo-Saxons than in the whole empire of China. It
was his firm conviction that if they repealed the present
Corn-laws they would have a great and flourishing trade
with the United States, but that if they continued them
they would not only lose irretrievably that market, but
create amongst that people competitors in every market
under heaven.—(Loud applause.)
At the close of the meeting a vote of thanks was pre-
sented to W. Scholefield, Esq., for his kindness in pre-
siding.
In the evening a tea-party and public meeting was
held in the Town-hal!, for the purpose of receiving in-
formation on the subject. of the Corn-laws. Mr. Curtis,
of Ohio, Colonel Thompson, ,Joseph Sturge, Esq., and
most of the gentlemen who took part in the morning's
proceedings, were present. The hall was crowded, and
the addresses were listened to with great interest.

IRELAND.
CITY OF DUBLIN ELECTION.
Dcpus, JAN. 26.—The polling re-commenced this
morning At nine o'clock. Long before that hour the
booth ICL, the chief stronghold of the Liberals, was beset
by crowds of voters. This booth has been placed in the
open street, and notwithstanding the torrents of rain fall-
ing all the forenoon, the Reformers, drenched to the
skin, hare been waiting patiently, in the hope of getting
forward to record their votes for Lord Morpeth. There
are nearly 2,000 voters allotted to this booth, not more
than one-half of whom can possibly poll in the five days
allowed by law for the polling. nn the other band, the
Tory booths fitted up with on and comfort,
have, several of them, not 500 voters to poll. It is under
such circumstances, according to the management of
Lord De Grey's Tory Sheriffs, that the Liberals are
struggling to effect the return of Lord Morpeth. If there
were anything like fair play, Lord Morpeth's return, by
very large majority, could not for a moment be doubted.
whilstßait the Reformers are obstructed by all sorts
of contrivances, the Tories are pouring in the 'votes of
non-resident freemen, although the law expressly declares
that no freeman is eligible if he reside seven miles be-
yond the boundaries of the city.
The unqualified freemen, not six months registered,
adaitted by wholesale on the last day of his Mayoralty
by Sir ;NM Kingston James, are also polling. Rut this
question is now before the assessor.

This day the assessor decided a new point, that " hold-

disfranchises a Ilrge number of Liberals.
In fact, the people Dare no real franchise—the Reform
Bill has become a mockery.
LETTER FROM MR. O'CONNELL "TO THE

ELECTORS OF DUBLIN."
The following letter appears in the Pikt of to-night
" Mansion house, 26th January, 1842.
"Fellow Citizens,—Our prospects are beginning to be
clouded. There is an appearance of apathy or neglect.
The bigoted faction that has so long oppressed our un-
happy country threatens a new triumph over us. Yet
we have the means of success in our own power.
" I should not experience the bitterness of disappoint-
ment if we were defeated by the superior strength of the
enemy ; but I confess that I feel it painfully discredit-
able to be bound to admit that we run the risk of defeat,
not for want of strength, but for want of activity and
energy.
"Rouse, then, electors of Dublin l• Let thne be no
apathy—no neglect---no delay ! Show you haves deter-
mined spirit to resist those who vilify your creed ant? tra-
duce your country.
" Surely you cannot mean to shrink from your duty.
You cannot mean to give a victory to those who would
reduce your country to a base servitude, and tarnish your
religion with the name of a vile idolatry
" If I possess any influence with you, permit me, in
the name of Ireland, to call you at once to the poll. Re-
collect, that if you triumph now, you defeat the worst
Anti-Repeal party—the interested enemies of our Legs -
lative independence.
" Recollect that if you succeed, you show the energy of
the Repealer:, and the liberality which they entertain to-
wards the ,friends of Reform.
" You also show your political hostility to the enemies
both of Reform and Repeal.
" I conjure you, then, in the name of all that is dear to,
patriots and to Christians, to hasten to the poll, and once
again to record your votes in favour of Old Ireland !
" I have the honour to be, fellow-countrymen, your
ever faithful u'evoted servant.
" DANIEL O'CONNELL."

CORONERS' INQUESTS.
The inquiry adjourned from Monday last, into the
circumstances attending the sudden death of Elizabeth
Linsey, aged 38 years, and also of her child, only one
month old, was resumed before Mr. Payne on Thursday
afternoon at the Commercial Tavern, Sherborne-lane.
Mr. Hugh Fuller, surgeon, of King William-street.
said that he had made the necessary examination. He.
found the organs of the body of the child perfect and
healthy. The stomach was nearly empty. It was his
opinion that it died from exposure to the cold. With
respect to the mother, he found that the heart had very
much wasted, so much so that it would be difficult for
reaction to take place after fainting. There was no doubt
on his mind that fainting was the cause of death. A.
wasting of the heart was often the result of mental
anxiety. The deceased was a remarkably robust woman,
and had died in a full habit of body.

The jury returned tt verdict in both cases of " Died
from natural causes."
. Thursday an inquisition was taken by Mr. Wakley,
M.P., and a respectable Jury, at St. Pancras workhouse,
on the body of Thomas Davis, aged 55, formerly a corn-
chandler and coal-merchant in an extensive way of-busi-
ness, but late an inmate of the above workhouse.
Alexander Peckham, also a pauper, said he knew de-
ceased, who was in the convalescent ward, No. 3, with
him. They generally sat next to each other at meals.
The deceased was so voracious in his appetite that it was
the custom of the nurse of the ward to cut his meat up
in small pieces, fur fear of his choking himself. On
Sunday last, whilst at dinner, the nurse had left the
table for a minute or two without having cut up the
meat in deceased's plate. She had no sooner turned her
back than the deceased took up a large piece and
crammed it into his mouth. He immediately made a.
noise in his throat, as if he was choking, but, notwith-
standing this was the case, when witness made an at-
tempt to pull the meat out of his mouth the deceased
prevented him by closing his teeth. The throttling
noise in his throat increased, and the deceased became
black in the face, and struggled violently. Mr. Eastcott,
the surgeon, was sent for, and arrived in about ten
minutes, but before he could do so deceased had expired.
Mary Brown, the nurse, gave similar evidence, and
stated that the deceased had been nearly choked three or
four times from like conduct. The meat supplied to the
poor was very hard and tough.
The sister-in-law of the deceased thought that proper
attention had not been paid to deceased. Knowing P.
propensity, the nurse ought not to have left the meat be-
Core him without cutting it up in small pieces.
The CORONER considered there was no af t tt. ih e-
butable to any one. With regard to the
